Next March,
After studying hard for a while, Mo Qian achieved first place in the college entrance examination!
He was the youngest participant to obtain the title of Xiucai in this examination!
Mo Qian, at the age of twelve, achieved the top position in the examination!
This amazed and impressed everyone!
Even the magistrate of Qinghe County attended the celebration banquet held by the Mo family!
Meanwhile, as the excitement surrounding Mo Qian's passing the imperial examination subsided, the Mo family returned to its former tranquility.
In the study,
After reading a policy essay, Mo Qian stood up to stretch her legs.
Afterwards, he poured himself a cup of tea, took two sips,
He asked the little white creature in the space,
"Xiao Bai, what tricks has that poor scholar Chen Shiwen gotten up to lately?" Mo Qian asked curiously as she sat in the armchair.
"Master, let me tell you, the poor scholar is now farming in the countryside! Haha." Little White laughed loudly in the space, his face showing a hint of schadenfreude, his voice filled with laughter.
"What happened? Wasn't he staying in the county town just now? Why did he go back to the countryside?" Mo Qian's face remained calm after hearing Xiao Bai's words, but her voice carried a hint of curiosity.
“Master, the poor scholar was indeed in the county town at first, but something happened and he had no choice but to return to the countryside!” Xiaobai continued.
Their expressions were all one of satisfaction, showing no pity for the poor scholar's plight!
“Master, ever since the Chen family stopped supporting him, that poor scholar has been sent to the county town by his family to find work.”
"Because I was literate, I found a job as an accountant in a restaurant."
"But that poor scholar, after finding work, was not content to stay put!"
"He actually came up with some crooked idea to solve his current predicament! What a pipe dream!" Xiaobai mocked, his face filled with contempt for the poor scholar, his voice exceptionally cold.
"What kind of crooked tricks have you come up with?" Mo Qian asked Xiao Bai, but her face remained completely expressionless.
"Master, that poor scholar actually dares to seduce the young lady of his family!"
"He bribed Miss Na's maid, trying to win her heart with some pretentious poems and a bunch of junk!"
"I'll be able to become the son-in-law of that restaurant owner! Then I won't have to worry about money anymore! Even if I want to pursue the imperial examinations, I won't lack money!"
"However, the girls in those restaurants are not ordinary, ignorant, and naive women!"
"Because the owner of this restaurant only has one daughter, he has never raised her like an ordinary young lady since she was a child."
"Instead, we taught her some business skills from a young age and took her around to see more of the world, so that she wouldn't be too weak-willed."
"Because she got involved in business early on, she won't be so easily deceived! On the contrary, since she's an only child, she's more wary of men outside the family!"
"I'm worried that it might be someone with ill intentions who wants to seize my property!"
"Therefore, when a poor scholar sees the young lady of the main family and thinks she is easy to manipulate because of her delicate appearance, he is wrong!"
"In the end, the maidservant who served Miss Na was resold, and the poor scholar not only lost his livelihood but also his reputation was ruined!"
"Anyone in the county who knows what he's done will stop employing him! After all, business people are worried that their daughters will be targeted."
"Even if a woman doesn't have a daughter, she wouldn't hire him if she knew he was a bad person!"
"In the end, the poor scholar was beaten up by the thugs in the restaurant and slunk back home!" Xiao Bai told Mo Qian in detail, his voice exceptionally excited, with a mischievous grin on his face.
"Yeah, they really deserve it! They're all lowlifes!" Mo Qian commented after listening to Xiao Bai's words, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes, her voice tinged with coldness.
"Yes, they were thinking of targeting women! But that young lady was quite clever; she didn't fall for their tricks and get caught up in their love!"
"However, with us here, we won't let that poor scholar's evil scheme succeed!" Xiao Bai then raised his head and said solemnly.
"Yes." Mo Qian replied firmly.
————————
"Brother-in-law, hurry up! There's still so much work to do! If you keep dawdling, it'll be dark before we finish!"
In a field, the Chen family members were all working, even four- or five-year-old children were squatting at the edge of the field, pulling weeds!
In other areas, the villagers were also busy with their own land, working diligently.
The poor scholar's sister-in-law turned her head and saw her younger brother-in-law still far behind. She shouted loudly, her face showing a hint of anger, her voice exceptionally loud!
"Even the pillar is faster than you! Put in some effort and hurry up!" the poor scholar's sister-in-law shouted angrily again.
The poor scholar behind him, who was turning over the soil with a hoe, looked rather embarrassed, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes!
hateful!
Damn it!
Even though it's happened many times, it's still glaringly obvious every time!
As for the Chen family members standing to the side, they did not react at all. Even Old Lady Li, who usually doted on poor scholars, did not say anything to refute them!
The main issue is that, in the past, whenever the poor scholar's sister-in-law talked badly about her brother-in-law, Old Lady Li would step forward and reprimand her!
However, it had little effect; they would continue to cause trouble next time, and the more you tried to stop them, the more they would make a scene!
After a few rounds, Old Lady Li got too lazy to argue. She didn't fight back, and she would just listen to a few words and then forget about it.
As for the villagers in the surrounding area, they initially tried to dissuade them, but after a while, they got used to it and treated the scene as a show.
The main reason is that the poor scholar used to attend school and always acted like a scholar, so the villagers respected him!
But now it's being said from the Chen family that this poor scholar is utterly incompetent in his studies!
There's no hope in the imperial examinations!
In addition, he worked in the fields just like the other villagers during this time. People who came back from the county town even publicized his good deeds in the village!
After that, the respect the villagers had for him vanished instantly!
Furthermore, some people dislike him because they feel his character is questionable!
"Brother-in-law, did you hear me? Hurry up! Stop dawdling, you can't just be thinking about slacking off all the time! Everyone's working hard!"
As the poor scholar bowed his head in silent resentment, his sister-in-law's voice rang out again.
"I know, I'll be there soon!" The poor scholar replied with a displeased expression, his voice tinged with anger, as he saw that his sister-in-law was relentless in her pursuit of an answer.
"That's good. Hurry up and finish so we can go home early," the poor scholar's sister-in-law said after hearing her brother-in-law's reply.
After she finished speaking, she turned around and continued with her work. However, her expression changed as soon as she turned around!
From her slightly smug expression, you could tell she was in a pretty good mood!
Their hand movements were two seconds faster!
