Chapter 408 Mu Chengle's Plans
As for the ranking, it doesn't matter. Anyway, you're still young. If you don't win this year, you can try again next year.
Even if we have to take the test ten or eight times, it doesn't matter. It won't cost much money, and now that we have a place to stay, it's convenient for us to come to the test.”
Mu Chengrong smiled happily.
"Second Aunt, you're even more amazing than me. I think taking the test two or three times is enough, but you're actually thinking of making us take it ten or eight times."
"What if I keep failing the exam? Won't I have to keep studying until my hair turns white?"
Mu Chunping raised his eyes.
"Also what does that mean?"
Did you encounter someone with gray hair taking an exam?
Mu Chengrong nodded.
"Yes, yes, that person was walking unsteadily; he had to be carried out today."
Mu Chunping was stunned for a moment.
"At such an advanced age, why would someone still take the imperial examination for the first degree? What's the point?"
Mu Chengle glanced at his father.
"Why else? He probably wants to become an official."
Shen Yuzhen hesitated for a moment,
"How can someone so old still hold an official position?"
Even if I passed the exam, they probably wouldn't hire me!
Kang looked at Shen Yuzhen,
"Aunt, becoming an official is not that simple. This is just the preliminary examination for the first scholar."
After that, there are Xiucai (a lower-level scholar) and Juren (a higher-level scholar). At the very least, one must pass the Juren exam to find a clerical job in a local area.
That man is quite old; he's probably been taking the imperial examinations for many years, and it's unlikely he'll live long enough to become an official.
Mu Chengye continued,
"My cousin is right."
"Mother, you don't know how much older that man looked than my grandfather."
Ning Bao raised his voice,
“Then let’s go back and let Grandpa go to school and take the imperial examination. Ningbao will be the granddaughter of Grandpa who is a scholar.”
Everyone was stunned for a moment...
Mu Chunping looked helplessly at his daughter.
"Ningbao, don't bother your grandfather anymore. Our family doesn't expect your grandfather to become an official. You have so many older brothers. You'll be waiting to become a junior scholar in the future."
Mu Chengye nodded, his face full of confidence.
"Yes, yes, Ningbao, your fourth brother will definitely help you pass the imperial examination."
Then you'll be a virgin girl.
Grandpa is old enough to just enjoy his retirement at home. If we make him go out and work at such an advanced age, people will say we are unfilial.
Besides, we'd be heartbroken if they bumped or bruised themselves.
Ning Bao nodded thoughtfully.
"Yes, Fourth Brother is right. Grandpa is getting old and should just enjoy his retirement at home."
"Someone as old as Yama, the King of Hell, shouldn't be serving as Yama, unable to even walk properly. Shouldn't he just stay home and wait for his children and grandchildren to take care of him?"
Yama:"..................."
Mu Cheng'an then turned to look at his fourth brother.
"Chengye, judging from your tone, you're sure this time?"
Mu Chengye quickly shook his head.
