Chapter 1027 Two Faces
It's funny to say that when Qiao Xuan accompanied Shao Yunduan to Beijing for the imperial examination, Niu and Shao's second uncle made a lot of sarcastic remarks outside.
Or they would mock the first wife for being so reckless. How could they let Qiao Xuan, a woman, go out with a man? Or go to Beijing to take the imperial examination? If a woman follows him, it would bring bad luck. It would be good enough if she didn't have bad luck on the way, and she still wanted to take the exam!
Or maybe they say that other people don't know what kind of person Shao Yunduan is, how much he weighs, and even his own people in the village don't know? It's a blessing to be a Juren! It's purely an accident and luck to be a Jieyuan. Is it so easy to be a Jinshi?
There are so many scholars in the Qin Dynasty, and many young men from scholarly and famous families. They have been taught by famous teachers since childhood, so how can they be better than him?
As for Shao Yunduan, don’t even think about it, to avoid being disappointed later!
When these words reached the Shao family's main house, Fang sneered and pretended not to hear anything. She also controlled everyone in the family and forbade them to quarrel with others because of this argument.
If someone deliberately said this to their face, they would say to him: "If you look down on us brothers like this, why don't your children go to the school that we brothers funded and built?"
Taking advantage of others and then making sarcastic remarks about them is really despicable.
It’s just that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan were not at home, and Fang didn’t want to get involved, so this one sentence was enough.
Besides, it was pointless for them to argue with others, as they still had to rely on Shao Yunduan.
As long as Shao Yunduan passed the exam, his family would naturally be proud and would give those people a slap in the face.
If I fail the exam, what's the point of arguing with others now?
Of course, even if she failed the exam, Fang wouldn’t think it was a big deal.
What Niu and Uncle Shao said was true. There were so many scholars in the entire Qin Kingdom. It would be normal for their sons to fail the exam once or twice.
It's just that what they say is so harsh and disgusting.
On the other hand, Fang trusted her son very much and felt that her son was a capable person and would definitely pass the exam!
Unexpectedly, Shao Yunduan actually won the top prize!
The top scholar! He is ranked first among all scholars!
How many first places are there in the world? This is the only one!
When the news came from Magistrate Qiao, Fang couldn't stop smiling, and the eldest wife of the Shao family was extremely happy and excited.
The head of the village and the elders of the clan were so excited that their eyes filled with tears. They praised the ancestors countless times and opened the ancestral hall on the spot to report this great news to their ancestors!
At this point, the position of the eldest branch of the Shao family in the hearts of the villagers was truly unbreakable. Almost no one dared to be jealous.
Not worthy of jealousy.
Instead, many people have grown in awe of their homes.
That’s the top scholar!
Once you become an official, maybe you can become a high-ranking official in the future!
So, one time when Fang met Niu, she arrogantly said a few sarcastic words to her, which made Niu so angry that she didn't dare to say a word and left in shame.
Who would have thought that Niu and Uncle Shao had such a big face that they actually begged Uncle Shao, saying that they knew they were wrong and would never do it again and would respect their brother, and asked them to continue to be a close family as before.
Niu slapped herself in the face, scolding herself for how wrong she had done and how she must change for the better; Second Uncle Shao burst into tears and felt extremely regretful, saying that it was all his fault in the past and now he really knew he was wrong.
