Chapter 955 The Qiao Family is So Sour
So, the couple discussed and decided to go to the gate of Hanlin Academy to block people when it was almost time to get off work the next day.
Qiao Hongxi was very depressed.
Everyone in the Qiao family is a bit boring.
Because Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had caused such a scene at the Qiao family's house, many people in the Qiao family wanted to make fun of Shao Yunduan so that they would have one more thing to ridicule and criticize him when County Magistrate Qiao and his wife came back.
Therefore, several people in the Qiao family were keeping an eye on the results of this imperial examination.
When the servant who went to check the list came back and reported that Shao Yunduan had committed suicide, the whole family still didn't believe it.
Later it was confirmed, but I was unwilling to believe it.
"Can someone like him pass the imperial examination? Are the questions this year so easy?"
"Oh, this is a case of a blind cat catching a dead mouse!"
"Isn't this imperial court's selection of scholars a joke? Can someone like him pass the exam?"
"I don't think that's right! How can a person like that, who has no manners, no upbringing, and a corrupt character, be worthy of being a judge? Report him and he will win!"
“.”
The masters of the Qiao family were all very upset and depressed. Of course, they could only vent their anger and denounce. If they were really asked to "report", they would not dare to do so even if they were given ten times the courage!
Questioning the unfairness of the imperial court's selection of officials is no joke. If a storm really arises, they will be the first to suffer.
In the end, they could only comfort themselves: "For a man of his character, it would be a blessing not to be an official. If he really becomes an official, he won't even know how to die! It's a good thing that our family broke off relations with him early!"
Privately, Mrs. Qiao Er and Mrs. Qiao San were the most upset.
How come the two branches of the family have no luck in studying? The Qiao family's literary aura has been completely taken away by the third branch!
Not only were the father and son of the third house both Jinshi graduates, but the concubine's daughter and son-in-law who came from such a small and poor place also passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi!
When did it become so easy to pass the imperial examination?
Qiao Hongxi was also extremely angry.
He has always been proud of himself because he feels that he is extremely talented. He has made the transition from tongsheng, scholar, juren to jinshi in one go, which is better than his father. Therefore, he thinks he is a genius and is very proud of it.
But I didn't expect that Shao Yunduan would pass the exam so easily! This was simply an insult to me.
On this day, when he was about to leave the Imperial Academy, Song Shi stopped him and said, "Mr. Qiao, my Fifth Master and Young Madam want to talk to you."
Qiao Hongxi naturally recognized Song Shi, and sneered with disgust: "Is it so great that Shao Yunduan passed the imperial examination? Who is not a Jinshi? Tell him that it is too early for him to show off in front of me now! There is a big difference between a Jinshi with a background and a Jinshi without a background when they are appointed!"
"I have no interest in seeing them, get out of here!"
Qiao Hongxi was very happy. Shao Yunduan passed the imperial examination but had no connections, so he must be anxious. He wanted to ask him for help to get a good job? Oh, dream on!
Song Shi was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, I don't understand what you said. I just want to remind you that you made a bet with my Fifth Master and Young Madam before. Our Master and Young Madam asked you when you would give us the silver and kowtow!"
Qiao Hongxi's face changed drastically and he was stunned.
He had totally forgotten about it!
It cannot be said that he had completely forgotten. He felt vaguely that he seemed to have forgotten something but could not remember it.
After hearing what Song Shi said, everything suddenly became clear.
