Tu Yufan thought that making the other party feel guilty was just a matter of waiting for a good price, and finally he made the best choice.
The only annoying thing is that they were the ones who brought it up first, so I was just teasing them.
Sure enough, a few days later, news came that the Song family had married the son of a scholar.
Jin Lougui became even more depressed after hearing this. He went to tofu beauty Chen Xinru to confide his bad mood. Tu Yufan saw that eating a few bowls of tofu didn't cost much, so he let him do it.
The next step was to pass the academy examination and obtain the title of scholar. Mr. Wang was very happy. This time even Jin Lougui, a repeater from Wanli, passed the examination, which was also an unexpected surprise.
"This is a letter of recommendation for the college. It's not guaranteed to be correct. It depends on whether you have real talent and knowledge."
To pass the examination for the title of scholar, one must not simply memorize the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics, but must understand and comprehend them and be able to write long essays.
Tu Yufan took Jin Lougui to Yishan College. The predecessor of this college was a school run by a demoted official who returned to his hometown. Most of the teachers were scholars and juren.
Mr. Wang has been a teacher here for many years and has certain connections, but a scholar is not a juren after all, so he still needs to rely on his own abilities to impress others.
Zhang Yanqing, a scholar from Yishan College, read the letter of introduction for a long time and tested Tu Yufan's knowledge. He felt that Tu Yufan had solid knowledge, but it was hard to say whether he was knowledgeable enough.
"Brother Ziyan said in the letter that you two are father and son?"
When Tu Yufan heard this nickname, he thought that the teacher who was testing him might be an old acquaintance of Master Wang, which increased his chances of passing the test.
"Yes, Jin Lougui is the student's son."
"Hmm..." Zhang Yanqing thought about it for a long time and finally said, "Then let's go together. Learning in the academy is more free. It mainly depends on your own consciousness. The teacher just explains the key points clearly."
Jin Lougui also realized that he was taking advantage of his father, but he accepted it without changing his expression.
The college entrance examination is held every three months, and Tu Yufan can take part in it next year. Thinking that he is already in his 60s and has no time to wait, and his memory is not bad either, he puts all his energy into preparing for the college entrance examination next year.
Jin Lougui felt the pain of being forced to inward by his father again, and spat at Chen Xinru again.
Chen Xinru had sold tofu for several days, and her character had been trained to be both bold and rational, otherwise she would not be able to control all kinds of people. She gradually felt that although Jin Lougui had many shortcomings, he still had a bit of a pure heart.
As spring went and autumn came, the time for the college examination arrived as scheduled, and the father and son embarked on the long road to the examination again.
In ancient times, transportation was not well developed, and sometimes it would take several days or even half a month just to travel, which was really exhausting.
Besides, the journey was not easy. In the past two days, Tu Yufan occasionally went into the mountains to hunt, or earned money by copying books, and sometimes secretly wrote a storybook. Although he could not find a sucker like Qu Qingshu, he still made a lot of money. So it was not a big burden for him.
Looking at the familiar examination room, Tu Yufan was very familiar with the place. This time he estimated that he would have to stay there for several days before coming out.
Looking at Jin Lougui's innocent eyes, Tu Yufan always felt that this kid didn't know what difficulties he would encounter in the future. He was truly ignorant and fearless.
A few days later, Tu Yufan walked out of the examination room safely, while Jin Lougui looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears, and his whole body was emitting a foul odor.
Tu Yufan covered his mouth and nose: "Did you draw a bad number? It stinks. Go back and wash it quickly."
"father--"
The stinky room is the one close to the toilet. If it wasn't his own son, he wouldn't even want him.
