Chapter 37: The problem is not the scarcity but the inequality
When Su's mother and daughter returned home, their faces looked extremely ugly.
The girl from the Zhu family has learned how to make indirect sarcasms at such a young age.
If it wasn't Pei Yue who taught me, who else could it be?!
The more Su thought about it, the angrier she became, and the more aggrieved she felt, so she cried in her room again.
Zhu Qingyan wished he could cut Zhu Lan into pieces, and swore in his heart that no matter what, he would never set foot in the Zhu family again!
As for Zhu Lan... they took advantage of their position of assisting the imperial court in printing books to leak information.
If this matter were to be exposed, they would all be in great trouble!
Still want to take the county exam? Dream on.
Su had cried enough and then she remembered something that happened a few days ago.
She took Zhu Qingyan's hand and said that Mr. Yu came to their house a few days ago and seemed to like Zhu Qingyan very much.
The young master of the Yu family is only fifteen years old, three years older than Zhu Qingyan.
What Mr. Yu meant was to arrange the marriages of the two children first.
When Zhu Qingyan reaches the age of 15, the wedding will be held right after the 15-year-old ceremony.
"Qingyan, the Yu family is also well-known in Jiangzhou City, with a rich family fortune, and Mr. Yu's brother is a sixth-rank official.
Mr. Yu, considering your intelligence and fame in the academy, lowered his status and came to our house in person to discuss this matter, which is a great honor for us.
The only condition is that you must have the status of a tongsheng, so that if you marry into the Yu family, it will be good for them. "
Zhu Qingyan frowned, "Mom, there's no need to decide on marriage so early."
"Nowadays, everyone values education. Daughters go to academies, study well, and gain fame, which will become bargaining chips for marriage in the future.
Mr. Yu came to visit because he thought I had a good chance of passing the county exam and becoming a student, which would make me a good match for his son. "
Su blinked her eyes. Yes, if she could marry into the Yu family, what else would she be dissatisfied with?
"Mother, Qingyan boasts that he has some talent in studying. It's a pity that the fame of a mere student has determined his lifelong affairs.
If I pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, or a juren in the future... will a family like the Yu family be able to get it?"
Zhu Qingyan was carefully calculating the accounts for the Su family.
She really looked down on the son of a wealthy family.
She could obviously stand higher and find a better husband's family.
By then, not only Zhu Lan, but the entire Zhu family will be under her feet!
Su thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he didn't say anything more.
…
Longchang Academy.
The afternoon classes had just ended, and the students left the classroom one after another, and the academy became lively.
Qin Yuwei and Qiao Youyou are now in Class 2, C, and they sit at the desks in front and behind each other.
"Let's go to Class 1 to find Xiao Wan first, and then go to Class B to find Lan Lan..."
Qiao Youyou said while yawning, while tidying up the desk, she turned around and suddenly found Qin Yuwei holding her chin in a daze.
"Yuwei, get out of class is over, what are you thinking about?"
Qin Yuwei came back to her senses, and after a moment, she said:
"Youyou, I want to open a rouge shop."
Without money, you can't do anything. She is really short of money now.
She now urgently needs a stable source of income so that she can get rid of the two time bombs, Wei and Qin Hu, as soon as possible.
Although she has a body that can endure hardships now, she has never been destined to endure hardships!
According to her observation, although there were abundant resources in this era, women's food, clothing and daily necessities were still rather monotonous.
There is still a lot of room for improvement in aesthetics.
She has appeared on the cover of Fashion Week many times, and she has absolute confidence in this regard.
At this moment, there was a sudden noisy sound outside the classroom.
The two went out to see, and found that many people were gathering in the direction of Wulei Pavilion.
Qiao Youyou stopped a student and asked him what happened.
As soon as the student saw her and Qin Yuwei, his eyes suddenly became angry.
He flicked his sleeves, snorted coldly and left.
Qiao Youyou was left puzzled, "Is this guy sick..."
Nearly a hundred students from Longchang Academy had gathered in front of Wulei Pavilion, each of them looking indignant.
Some people also hung up banners, imitating what Class Ding did in the poetry competition.
Written in cinnabar were a few bright red characters:
"The printing of the book is fake, but the leak of the exam questions is real! Where is the fairness in this world?"
The students raised their arms and shouted:
"Why can they see the real test papers but we can't?"
"Give us fairness!"
"Yes, give us fairness!"
Zhu Qingyan stood at the front of the crowd, listening to the excited shouts of the crowd behind him, a smile on his face.
Ouyang Ye rushed over after hearing the news, and seeing the clerk sent by the government office with a gloomy face, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Ouyang Ye stood in front of the steps of Wulei Pavilion and said, "Everyone be quiet!"
His face was solemn, and he already had a fear buff in the students' hearts. As soon as he spoke, everyone stopped shouting.
But everyone's eyes were filled with anger, as if she had to give an explanation today.
Ouyang Ye asked what was going on.
"Master Abbot." Zhu Qingyan stepped forward with a loud voice.
"Zhu Lan and others, under the pretext of assisting the imperial court in printing books, not only secretly studied the compilation of county examination articles compiled by the imperial court, but also leaked the contents that the imperial court had not yet published. Please ask the supervisor and the other gentlemen to investigate!"
"Do you have any evidence?" Ouyang Ye asked.
Zhu Qingyan handed over a stack of papers in her hand, which contained all the content that she had written down and that Zhu Lan had recited to others in the Guanfeng Pavilion.
Of course, she kept another copy for herself.
"Master Supervisor, the court ordered the publication of this book, which was originally supposed to be released after this year's county exam. We took the exam this year and originally had no chance to see the contents.
But Zhu Lan and her colleagues took advantage of their positions to not only learn secretly, but also leaked the content to students they were close to, and might even have accepted bribes from them!
This behavior is unfair to us!"
The students behind him started shouting again.
"unfair!"
"unfair!"
"Must be convicted!"
If they wanted to know the questions of previous county examinations, they had to rack their brains to find the candidates of that time and sometimes even spend a lot of money.
Now that the imperial court has published such a compilation, it is such precious information, and it is the dream of many students!
The only regret is that they can’t catch up this time.
If everyone can't catch up, then there's nothing to say.
But now Zhu Lan and his gang have used unfair means to obtain the contents of this book in advance.
If it weren’t for Senior Sister Qingyan’s bravery and exposure of the matter, everyone else would have been kept in the dark until the end.
We are from the same academy, so why should Zhu Lan and his friends get more resources?!
You have to know that the imperial examination is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. If someone ranks higher, someone will inevitably be squeezed down.
There are only so many places for the county examination. This concerns our vital interests, so we must make a fuss!
If the college does not offer a fair solution, I will appeal!
