Chapter 68 068 Low-key people dare to say anything. ...
The provincial examination was usually held in August and the results were announced in September, which happened to be the season when sweet-scented osmanthus was fragrant, so it was called the "Guibang".
Compared with Jia Zhu, who was half dead after taking an exam, Wang Yao was really too at ease.
Not only did he recover to full health upon leaving the examination room, he was even able to investigate the case with the Fourth Prince and Xianyu, and directly solved the imperial examination cheating case that had troubled Master Kang for many years.
This energy, ability and drive are truly amazing and unmatched by ordinary people.
The last time they met in a restaurant, Wang Yao had already made an appointment with Master Kang.
This combination of punches made a deeper impression on Master Kang. The old man looked at Wang Yao with eyes full of admiration.
From the looks of it, as long as Wang Yao can pass the provincial examination and become a juren, he can directly enter the officialdom.
Of course, given Wang Yao's personality, he definitely wouldn't just rush forward like that.
He has always been an ambitious and opinionated person. Although theoretically he could become an official directly after passing the imperial examination, the starting point was still too low, so Wang Yao did not even consider it.
According to his career plan, he had to at least pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
This point coincides with Wang Ziteng's opinion. After all, things have come to this point, and it would be unreasonable not to try harder.
In short, there is absolutely no way I will give up unless I pass the imperial examination.
But all this was based on Wang Yao's ability to pass the provincial examination. The father and son were also very stable, and they did not mean to succeed this time.
Even if it takes a few more years, I would like to try this path. It is better than regretting it later when I am old and my career is blocked.
It turned out that the father and son had thought too much - or rather, Wang Yao was too modest. There was really no doubt that he would pass the imperial examination.
In September, when the results of the provincial examination came out, Wang Yao had indeed passed.
Although I was not the first, it was good enough to pass the exam. After all, this exam was much more difficult than the exam for the scholar, and basically only the top students in the province had a chance to pass it.
In modern terms, that would be the top scorer in the college entrance examination of a province.
In sharp contrast to Wang Yao's success in the exam, Jia Zhu also failed without any suspense.
I heard that when Mr. Zhu heard the news, he fell seriously ill again.
He had not yet recovered from the energy he had consumed in the last exam, and this one was even more terrible. He lay down directly and was unable to get out of bed for a month.
It is said that the critical illness notice was issued several times, which was quite scary and alarmed the Wang family. The old lady of the Wang family even thought that her grandson was going to die, so she sent people to visit him anxiously.
Mrs. Wang cried her heart out, but she had to express her gratitude to the old lady of the Wang family for her kind visit, and she also had to hold her nose and send a gift to the Wang family to congratulate Wang Yao on his success in high school.
What is more sad than your own child failing the exam is that someone else's child succeeds... But this is my mother's family, I cannot be impolite.
Let’s put aside the chaos in the Jia family and just talk about the Wang family. Since Wang Yao passed the imperial examination, it was natural for them to celebrate.
Are you kidding? He passed the provincial examination and became a juren.
According to folk rules, this means that one has officially embarked on the road to the imperial examination, become a juren, and obtained official fame.
If you are lucky, you can directly fill the vacancy and take up the position, and it is not impossible for you to rise rapidly from then on.
This is also the reason why many people are envious, jealous and hateful... I don’t know about other people, but Jia Zhu should still be very envious.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so angry that he went to bed - after all, he was of similar age to Wang Yao and they were cousins. In the past, this brother Zhu had always been "the child of other people's family" because he passed the imperial examination at the age of fourteen and had always had an overwhelming sense of superiority.
Who would have thought that in just two or three years, the former "little bully" would turn into a "chosen one". God was really blind and taught this kid to get a great bargain...
Yes, Jia Zhu's paranoid mind never thought of any positive words like talent and diligence. He always thought that Wang Yao was lucky to pass the imperial examination, and he failed because of physical problems and did not perform well...
Therefore, the fact that he died young in the original novel might be related to this character.
Xianyu was sighing over the different fates of Jia Zhu and Wang Yao, while eating melon seeds out of boredom.
Because their family did hold a small family dinner to celebrate her step-brother Wang Yao's graduation from high school.
It is definitely impossible to do nothing just to consider Jia Zhu's feelings.
Since ancient times, there has been no reason for the successful to give way to the losers.
But the Wang family was indeed very considerate and did not make a big deal about it.
This is simply because their family has been pursuing the principle of keeping a low profile recently, and no matter what kind of happy event it is, they will not easily hold a lavish celebration.
Even though the whole family was very happy about Wang Yao's admission to high school, they only planned to invite their closest relatives and friends for a small gathering, the kind that even the Jia family would not be invited to.
The reason why I have to be so low-key is all because of what Xianyu said.
Because the fight between the eldest prince and the crown prince has begun in full swing, the wind direction in the circle of powerful people in the capital has also changed.
As the saying goes, the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. Whoever jumps out the most will inevitably be fired upon by both sides.
Especially for a family like the Wang family, which is quite powerful, they happen to be the focus of competition between the two sides. If they don't keep a low profile, they will inevitably get into trouble.
[If you ask me, our family should just stand by Master Kong. He can still stay in office for nearly 30 years, which is a very long time. ]
[If anyone comes to provoke us, we will ignore them and go directly to Master Kang to complain. We will definitely win. If that doesn't work, we will play a victim and drag colleagues who have had the same experience to tell their stories... For example, the Lin family...]
Xianyu's words were so powerful that they successfully left Wang Ziteng, Wang Yao and the old lady of the Wang family speechless.
No, Sister Xian, can we be a little more tactful? You really dare to say anything to others.
Although not everyone can hear what's in your heart, I can't stop your little mouth from chattering away. No... I always think about it!
If the Emperor accidentally heard this, he would definitely be angry again, and our family would be in big trouble.
But speaking of the Lin family, you know what, they really did have a letter.
Thinking about his daughter mentioning the Lin family again and again, Wang Ziteng felt a little jealous, but he also knew that the child was kind-hearted and just wanted to care about the Lin family.
It seems that Lin Ruhai is indeed a good person. Last time in Nanjing, he had already agreed to form an alliance with them.
Then we must share what we have with each other.
In fact, Wang Ziteng has been doing this since he separated from the Lin family.
However, in this case, the information sent back by the Lin family must also be known to his precious daughter, otherwise how can he let her continue to broadcast her thoughts to them.
Thinking of this, Wang Ziteng finally caught Xianyu in the middle of expressing her thoughts, chose a time to speak, and successfully told Xianyu the news about the Lin family.
It turned out that the last time in Jinling City, Xianyu recommended the "miracle doctor" Zhang Youshi to Lin Ruhai through her inner voice and it actually worked.
Zhang Youshi was called a "miracle doctor", but no one had ever heard of him, and he was not well-known. However, under Zhang Youshi's care, the health of the young man of the Lin family really improved.
It's only been two months, and I heard that the young man from the Lin family can already run and jump.
Of course, after all, he has been ill for so many years and is a little young. Compared with ordinary healthy children, this little brother of the Lin family is still a little weaker.
But no matter what, it's a world of difference compared to before.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were so excited that their eyes filled with tears, and they wrote several letters to express their gratitude.
What made them even happier was that there were many shady dealings behind the kidnapper whom Wang Yao helped to catch last time, and all of them pointed directly to certain high-ranking officials in the court.
As a doctor of Lantai Temple, Lin Ruhai naturally had to report all these clues to Master Kang.
In fact, he had already reported a batch of clues to Master Kang through secret channels.
Master Kang also attached great importance to these clues and was worried about the safety of his whole family, so without any further ado, he directly ordered him to bring his family to Beijing as soon as possible.
The excuse they used was a safe and secure one, allowing him to go to Beijing to report on his work and to provide his family with medical treatment.
Lin Ruhai did not dare to delay. He quickly packed his luggage, took his family, and hurriedly set off for Beijing.
Lin Ruhai sent the letter to Wang Ziteng on the day his family set out on their journey. It should arrive in the next few days, and maybe even in time to celebrate Wang Yao's success in the imperial examination.
By the way, Lin Ruhai once taught Wang Yao some tips on test-taking skills for the imperial examination for a few days, so he could be considered half his master.
So, the teacher farewell banquet and the welcoming banquet were solved at the same time.
After Wang Ziteng said this, the old lady of the Wang family also became interested, so she simply sent someone to find out when the Lin family would arrive.
Unexpectedly, before I even left the house, I received a letter from the Lin family on the way, saying that it would arrive in a day or two at most. Isn't this just a coincidence?
Therefore, the old lady of the Wang family made the decision to hold the Lin family's welcoming banquet and Wang Yao's teacher appreciation banquet together, which would be more lively.
