The two of them thought of putting drugs in the buns in the middle of the night. They spent a lot of money, added flour and meat, and made six buns. As long as it could prevent them from taking the exam, or make them unable to concentrate on doing the questions, even if they won next year, it would be next year. So they just had to fool around this year.
But they didn't expect that the third brother would ignore them and directly said that he would not eat food from outside during the exam period, so their plan came to nothing.
Along the way, the couple prayed to the gods and Buddhas not to let Zhao Dashu pass the exam, and they were never so pious. At the same time, not only Zhao Dashu liked Xiao Lei, but Wang also noticed that he was a good man.
He is very polite and considerate to Xiaoyu. I don't know if he is pretending or what, but one thing is certain, he will have a bright future.
Ruxin will have a good future if she follows him. Besides, he has no parents, so if she marries him, she won't have a mother-in-law to control her, and she can be very self-reliant.
Why didn't she see that there was such a treasure in the village before? Wang was filled with regret. It wasn't necessarily too late. She had seen the script of the play about the death of Ehuang and Nvying. Xiao Lei could marry one of them. In this way, the third brother's family could continue the incense, and their Xiao family would not be cut off.
Killing several birds with one stone, Wang suddenly got enlightened, Xiao Lei was extremely unsure, and the two of them stared at him closely, as if they had encountered a wolf in the mountains.
What do they want to do? What does he have that makes them covet him?
"Dad, Xiao Lei, don't be nervous in the last round. Just answer the questions carefully and perform steadily."
"We know that Dad is not nervous at all. After the exam today, I will take you to the county town to play around."
"Well, go in quickly."
Over there, Mr. and Mrs. Zhao were also carefully instructing their eldest son. The youngest son, who failed the exam, remained silent. He was angry at himself for not living up to his expectations, and was also jealous that his elder brother could be so valued by his parents.
Originally they were the same.
Next year, next year he will definitely get a good score. He glanced at Zhao Dashu. They started so late but were able to pass the exam and their rankings were said to be very high. He had taken the test papers this year and his scores were worse than his eldest brother's twice, so even if he passed, his ranking would not be high. And Third Uncle and the others...
Who is the teacher that Uncle San invited from the capital city? He must not be an ordinary person. It is impossible for an ordinary person to train two talents in three or four years.
One can be said to be luck, and the other two are definitely the credit of the master.
He began to doubt his father. If he was really that capable, how could he fail the imperial examination several times? His father had limited abilities but he was unaware of it, which had delayed his and his elder brother's studies.
The previous teachers in the academy were not good enough. My father was already the most powerful one among them, and the others were even more unbearable.
"Dad, if we pay tuition, will the teacher at Third Uncle's house be willing to teach us? Third Uncle and his family only teach half a day in the morning, so my brother and I can go in the afternoon."
Zhao Da's face was stern. What did you mean, you bastard? He felt that he was not good enough to teach him and wanted to find someone else. "What do you mean?"
"We are not familiar with Xiao Lei, but don't we know what kind of qualifications Third Uncle has? Dad, look at Third Uncle's results in the first two games. What are you saying? It's that their teacher is not simple.
Why didn't Third Uncle go to the county town to find a teacher? Why did he go through so much trouble to come to the city? He even built a house for them after coming here. He has paid so much and we didn't appreciate it before, but how can we appreciate it now? Look at his and Xiao Lei's grades."
Wang understood instantly, yes, everyone said that a teacher was important, the head of the family had said before that the reason he couldn’t pass the imperial examination was because he didn’t have a good teacher.
After passing the examination to become a scholar, wealthy people would go to the academy in the capital city to study. There were only two private academies in the capital city, and the teachers there were all from prominent families.
But his family had no money, so he could only go to the county town to study. The teachers who taught him were not even juren, so how could he teach a juren-like student? Didn’t he himself know what the exam was for?
So she, the head of the household, failed the exam once or twice.
The third brother was a scheming man. He must have found out who was behind the family and went to the city to hire a teacher.
He had come all the way here and spent so much money. She had thought he was a fool with lots of money before, but now that she had taken the exam, she realized he was actually very smart. There was no doubt that their family would be in the spotlight after the results came out.
