Chapter 1998: This wave is stable
Tang Bao also heard that the overall performance of the candidates from Fude Academy in the autumn examination last year was indeed not satisfactory.
Not to mention Tang Bao, even Xuanyuan Jin was not surprised by this result.
After they returned from southern Xinjiang that year, Tang Bao and Xuanyuan Jin quickly discovered that the atmosphere in the academy had become somewhat distorted.
The student, who originally turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside, now has his head full of gossip.
What they discussed was not the major issues of the country or the family, but the gossips of the Zhang and Li families.
It’s very down-to-earth, but what does it mean to just follow the crowd?
As for the scientific examination, I rely on the blessing of Tangbao.
It seems like you don’t have to work hard, as long as you are blessed with a sugar baby, you can get into high school.
These people have simply deified Tang Bao!
If it were something else, it would be fine, because people might need a spiritual sustenance.
However, this is not a good phenomenon for scholars.
It is too easy to encourage the culture of getting something for nothing.
In response, Xuanyuan Jin only said coldly.
"The court doesn't need such people!"
He acknowledged the importance of luck and also acknowledged that the results of scientific examinations were actually affected by good or bad luck.
For example, you may be sick or injured on the day of the expedition, or some other reason may affect your mood.
All of these can affect test scores.
However, just relying on luck and hoping to pass the exam is simply wishful thinking.
Even if such a person is lucky enough to pass the exam, because he is not down-to-earth and strong-willed, he may easily go astray under the temptation of fame and fortune and eventually become a parasite in the officialdom.
Tang Bao quite agreed with Xuanyuan Jin's words.
She also believes that people who do not work hard themselves and only rely on others, and who want to pass the exam by relying on the blessings of others, may not necessarily become honest and upright officials in the future even if they pass the exam.
After all, there are too many temptations in officialdom.
Without strong psychological qualities and a tenacious character, it is difficult to always keep your original intention.
As the saying goes, you reap what you sow. There is no gain without effort. If a scholar doesn't even understand this principle, can you expect him to resist all kinds of temptations and serve the people wholeheartedly after entering officialdom?
The prerequisite for passing the exam is first of all that you have fought hard, worked hard, and made sacrifices.
At this time, after hearing what Tang Bao said, Su Dasao immediately said: "What my sister-in-law said is that those who don't study seriously all day long and just want to take shortcuts and hope for a free lunch, in my opinion, will never pass the exam in their lifetime!"
Mrs. Su has always been a kind person, but it was rare that she spoke in such a harsh tone at this moment, as if she was venting her anger.
Third Sister Su also said, "When Fifth Uncle and Chengyao were studying, they studied till midnight. In my opinion, they were just short of hanging their heads on the beams and piercing their legs with awls."
The sisters-in-law of the Su family were also dissatisfied with the fact that the teachers and students in the academy always placed their hopes on Tang Bao.
These people failed to pass the exam and blamed their sister-in-law for not letting them share the good fortune. It’s so infuriating!
Mrs. Su did not tell Tang Bao that during the autumn examination last year, many students in the academy failed. This was actually normal, after all, only one out of hundreds of people were admitted.
Only a few people make the list, and it is normal for people to fail to make the list.
As a result, those who failed the exam complained secretly, saying that it was because their sister-in-law did not come back.
Mrs. Su was so angry that she wanted to kick those people out of the academy.
Not only the sisters-in-law of the Su family felt this way, but Old Man Su and several brothers of the Su family were also feeling angry.
"My daughter, please don't show up before the Spring Examination this time." Old Man Su said angrily, "Our academy doesn't want those mean-spirited people who have no ambition and only know how to be mean all day long."
How dare he speak ill of his little daughter and blame her? It's simply outrageous!
After hearing what Old Man Su said, Tang Bao laughed.
"Dad, if I show up, those who should have failed the exam will still fail. Doesn't that just prove that without true talent and dedication, everything is in vain?"
Even if you pray to gods and Buddhas, they can only bless you to have a smooth exam process and avoid accidents.
If you don’t have the strength, everything is out of the question.
Opportunities only come to those who are prepared!
Old Man Su's daughter-slave nature immediately erupted, and he quickly said, "That's right, my daughter, just go and take a look at those people. Anyway, those with poor character, God will see clearly and will definitely not let them pass the exam."
Even if those people failed the exam and it affected the reputation of his own academy, Old Man Su was willing to do it.
The reputation of the academy is not as important as my little girl!
Humph! You still want to put the blame on your daughter if you fail the exam? Dream on!
After Old Man Su finished speaking, he looked up at the sky and bowed with his hands clasped together.
Tang Bao: “…”
I understand now. Dad has always believed in God!
Su Lao San said with some regret: "It's a pity that I can't make another fortune this time."
Su Laosan's words made no sense, but everyone in the Su family understood what they should understand.
Su Laosi also looked regretful.
After all, in the last two Spring Examinations, they sent people to the casino to place bets and ended up making a lot of money.
Even Mrs. Su and several sisters-in-law showed a trace of regret after hearing what Su Lao San said.
They also want to make money.
At the beginning, Tang Bao and Su Lao San secretly sent people to place the bets, but would Su Lao San hide the money he made from Su San's wife?
Moreover, after Tangbao earned some money, she also bought gifts for her parents and her brothers and sisters-in-law.
So, in the end, this matter became something that everyone in the Su family knew.
When Su Laosan brought this up, naturally everyone understood what he meant.
Tang Bao smiled and said, "Not necessarily."
Su Laosan's eyes lit up.
"Sister, what do you mean?"
Su Laosi's expression revealed a hint of doubt and hesitation.
"Could it be... that we have to go to the Imperial College as well?"
After saying that, he shook his head.
"No, no... Betting on the Imperial College doesn't pay much, so I won't make much money..."
Old Man Su glared and roared at Old Fourth Su.
"You dare!"
You still dare to bet on the Imperial College to win? Isn't that slapping yourself in the face?
Tang Bao smiled and said, "Let's bet on our academy."
Su Lao San: “…”
Su Laosi: "..."
Other members of the Su family: "..."
Could it be that... there is a hidden boss in our own academy?
Tang Bao's eyes flashed with a cunning light, and she continued mysteriously: "Let's bet on one person, Yang Jin!"
"Yang Jin? Who is this?" Su Lao San asked in surprise, "There's no such person in our academy?"
Su Laosi pondered and said, "In the autumn examination last year, the champion of Jiangzhou Prefecture was named Yang Jin, but he is not from our academy... That's not right!"
Su Laosi slapped his forehead suddenly.
"It's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Right?" Su Laosi looked at Tang Bao with a look of surprise and an anxious tone.
Tang Bao said with a smile: "Brother Crown Prince also participated in the Autumn Examination and won the title of Li Yuan."
Although the provincial examination had to be held in the place of one's native place, an exception could naturally be made if one had the handwritten letter from the Crown Prince's tutor.
Su Laosan also reacted.
"How could I have forgotten that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was studying in our academy, he always used the name Yang Jin, hahahaha..."
Su Laosan laughed heartily.
This wave is stable!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been a student taught by Grand Tutor Yu for many years.
Even the fifth brother and his nephew Chengyao were able to receive instruction from Grand Tutor Yu thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
