Chapter 101 Xiaotang's plan
"My father told me to wait for another year, but I think I'll give it a try next year." Xie Huaijin said, and when he spoke like this, he was a little restrained and secretly looked at Ji Xiaotang sitting aside.
Master Ji Er talked to Xie Huaijin, and Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San were both present.
"If it ends next year, how sure are you?" Mr. Ji Er thought about it and asked. If it were someone else's family, there would be such a difference between father and son, Mr. Ji Er would definitely let go and ignore it.
But the other party was Xie Huaijin, so the situation was different.
"There is always a sure thing." Xie Huaijin clenched his fists in his sleeve and said.
Master Ji Er looked at Xie Huaijin and nodded.
"I will discuss this matter with your father." Mr. Ji Er said this because he was willing to tell Xie Huaijin what he meant to be Xie Magistrate Xie for the sake of Xie Huaijin.
How could Xie Huaijin be unhappy? He immediately thanked Mr. Ji Er.
"Thank you, Uncle Ji, Huai Jin will definitely live up to Uncle Xie's high hopes."
"Don't thank me for it first." Master Ji Er said with a smile, "How to decide in the end depends on your father. Your father asked you to wait for another year, and he wanted to be more sure. In addition, there should be some reasons why you are not at ease traveling alone."
Xie Huaijin wanted to take the boy exam, but he couldn't get the exam in Qingyuan County. He had to go back to his hometown to take the exam. The Xie family's original home was Hejian Mansion. Although it was adjacent to Qingyuan, the actual distance was not close.
Xie Huaijin could not accompany Xie Huaijin back, and Mrs. Xie also had to take care of Xie Huaijin and the inner house, and could not take care of Xie Huaijin with her. Xie Huaijin was still a teenager and had never traveled far away. Even if she was a stable manager and followed her to serve, I was afraid that Xie Zhixian and Mrs. Xie would not be relieved.
"My father and mother do have this concern." Xie Huaijin said, "In their eyes, I'm afraid that no matter how old I am, I'll still be a child. I'm not young anymore, and this time I go out is considered a training experience."
It is a trivial matter to experience or not, and Xie Huaijin secretly looked at Ji Xiaotang. He wanted to achieve fame earlier, so that his parents could decide on his marriage with Ji Xiaotang earlier.
Even if it takes several years to get married, it will always be better to get engaged earlier. He and Ji Xiaotang are childhood sweethearts, and their parents are not those who are pedantic and unknowing to adapt. Even if they are engaged, they will not really not let the two meet.
"Well, experience is a good thing." Master Ji San said casually.
When talking about poetry and imperial examinations, Master Ji San lacks interest.
"Look at how old Huaijin is, he has this ambition. "≤, you are my uncle, and you should learn from Huaijin in this regard." Master Ji Er took the opportunity to say.
Master Ji San stopped talking immediately.
Mrs. Xie and Xie Huaijin did not leave for food. There was still something to do in the back of the county government office, and Xie Huaijin was busy going back to study.
After seeing off Mrs. Xie and her son, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San went to the library again.
"Uncle, I'll discuss something with you." Ji Xiaotang said solemnly.
Master Ji San was already used to Ji Xiaotang's like this, so he immediately sat upright.
"Xiaotang, what's the matter for my uncle to do?"
"I really have something to do, but I'm afraid my uncle will not agree." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Xiaotang, what you said. What did you ask my uncle to do? I will not agree to you." Master Ji San said aggrievedly.
This is indeed the truth. Originally, Master Ji San loved Ji Xiaotang very much. Later, after experiencing the incident of Qingxi Mountain, he almost obeyed Ji Xiaotang.
"I want my uncle to study." Ji Xiaotang said a sentence slowly. It was not a general study, but a study for the sake of taking the imperial examination.
Master Ji San was so sad.
"Xiaotang, everything else is fine, this one is the only thing. It's not that my uncle refuses, but I'm really not this material."
"It's not that I want my uncle to take the imperial examination, and I will pass the imperial examination. As long as my uncle gets a juren, I will come back." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Xiaotang, you are a good student. You only regard it as an ordinary thing to take the exam as a juren. I am sorry for your uncle. If I really go to take the exam, I am afraid I will be stuck in the boy's test and be a child for the rest of my life." Master Ji San made a look of pity, trying to get Ji Xiaotang's sympathy.
"Uncle, do you believe me?" Ji Xiaotang asked suddenly.
"I believe it." Master Ji San was a little confused, "Xiaotang, of course I believe you."
"Since that's the case, my uncle just study hard. I said that if I ask my uncle to come back as a juren master, I can come back as a juren master."
Master Ji San's eyes widened.
"Xiaotang, what are you going to do?...Bully to the examiner? Do you need Brother Han to help? Have you told him something in private?...Or, are you going to take the exam for me?"
Bribery of examiners is a serious crime. Once they are discovered, the whole family will be implicated.∮, Ji Xiaotang never thought about this kind of thing. Of course, she would not look for Han Xiaowei Wuhou for this matter. As for the substitute, this is even more impossible.
County Magistrate Xie is the examiner. Will County Magistrate Xie recognize her as Master Ji San?
"None are not." Ji Xiaotang shook his head, "I want my uncle to come back from a juren with justification."
Master Ji San didn't say anything for a moment.
Ji Xiaotang said this, but he was not unhappy. After all, Master Ji San listened to all the advice of Master Ji Er about his official duties and fame.
For example, in his current situation, because he is a white person, if he goes to the yamen, he must kneel down when he sees an official. However, as long as he can get a scholar's reputation, he will not be expensive when he sees an official.
In addition, many other things are also much more convenient.
Now the people in Qingyuan County respect him, they are looking at the Yu Yin of Mr. Ji, the official position of Mr. Ji Er and Mr. Ji San. If he abandons the protection of his father and brother, he is alone, even if he has a wealth of wealth, what can he be considered as a white person?
Master Ji San couldn't help but think of Xie Gui, Xie An and his son. Although the father and son were rich, they still had to live a life based on Jiang Qingshan's expression. I don't know how much money they spent every year on all parties to manage.
If you want to protect your family, you should not be a farmer.
"Xiaotang, if I listen to you, how can I get back from the exam for a juren exam?" Mr. Ji San asked Ji Xiaotang seriously. Actually, I don't want a juren. As long as I get back from the exam for a juren exam, Mr. Ji San will feel very satisfied.
"First, my uncle must start studying hard. My uncle cannot study hard silently. He must make great contributions and let everyone in Qingyuan County know about it." Ji Xiaotang said.
"Xiaotang, do you think you are plotting against your uncle?" Master Ji San narrowed his eyes, "I said it out with such a big fanfare. Even for the sake of face, my uncle has to hang his head and stab it in a cone."
"Will the uncle agree or not?" Ji Xiaotang ignored Master Ji San's thoughts and just asked.
"Agree, I agree." Master Ji San thought for a while, nodded with a cruel heart.
"Then my uncle starts studying. I'll ask my uncle to teach me personally!" Ji Xiaotang smiled.
"Xiaotang, did you and your father have already discussed this?" Master Ji San asked.
Ji Xiaotang was not willing to answer this question at all, but just took out a few thick stacks of rice paper, and the brush and ink, as well as the Four Books and Five Classics, copybooks, etc.
"This is my uncle's homework in the past few months." Ji Xiaotang said.
The pen, ink, paper, ink, and inkstone prepared for Master Ji San were piled up all over the table.
"As long as my uncle has been with the help of these few months, it will be almost done without saying it once and for all." Ji Xiaotang encouraged him when he saw that Master Ji San was still feeling embarrassed.
Master Ji San doesn’t like reading, but Ji Xiaotang’s words once and for all happened to deeply touch him.
"If this is true, then I'll be hanging..."
"Hungry your head and hang your beam and pierce your thighs." Ji Xiaotang reminded Master Ji San.
"Yes, it's okay to just hang your head and pierce your thighs." Master Ji San clenched his fists and said that he could hold on.
"That's good." Ji Xiaotang nodded with satisfaction when he saw that he persuaded Master Ji San.
In the fifth year of Longqing, Qingyuan County had several major events, among which one was the most talked about in the autumn of this year.
Master Ji San from the Ji family in Qingyuan finally got his sense of learning and taking the exam.
There are many discussions about this on the streets and alleys, especially among scholars.
"After all, they are descendants of the Ji family. If you have such a son and brother, the third brother will never be too bad. But you are late to get it. This will make a big splash."
"No matter what happens, I'm afraid it's too late. You know, the most important thing about studying is a boy's skill."
"If it comes to Boy Master, the third brother of the Ji family is not later than you and me. And his father and brother teach him, he is even better than us. This is a natural good fate."
If Master Ji San is only studying now, then I have to wait a few years if I have to take the exam. However, Ji Xiaotang has no time to wait. Fortunately, although Master Ji San does not like to study, he has been enlightened early. He has been studying under the supervision of his father and brother over the years.
In the eyes of everyone, Master Ji San is a scholar who doesn’t like reading and doesn’t read very well.
Scholars are sure that they don’t like to read and do not read well. These people are just news. Except for the gentlemen who taught Master Ji San, no one has personally confirmed them.
Thirty years in Hedong, Thirty years in Hexi. Since Master Ji San is enlightened, how could he still be the former Wuxia Ameng?
The Ji family arranged for people to release the news, and then, Master Ji Er really supervised Master Ji San to start studying.
Sleep at the third and get up at the fifth.
When Mr. Ji San started to study hard, Mrs. Ji was first relieved, and then felt distressed. Needless to say, various supplements were delivered to Mr. Ji San every day. Mrs. Ji even called the two brothers to come and ask.
"The third brother is willing to study hard, and this is the old man who has a spirit in heaven. Your willingness to teach him with intention is also your heart as your brother." Old Mrs. Ji said earnestly to Master Ji Er, "It's just that I've seen you have worked harder to study these days."
"Since the third brother is willing to study, why not come slowly, and he will be exhausted all of a sudden."
"Old lady, I'm not tired." Master Ji San showed his white teeth and gave Old lady Ji a big smile.
"I feel very distressed." Old Mrs. Ji insisted, "Although I have no knowledge, I used to hear your father say that this... I should take it slowly, it is not a matter of rush."
"Willing desire fail to achieve." Master Ji Er took over the words of Mrs. Ji.
As he said this, Master Ji Er glanced at Ji Xiaotang sitting next to him.
According to Master Ji Er's intention, although he did not spoil Master Ji like Mrs. Ji, he also felt that this matter could not be achieved overnight. Others may not know what Master Ji San's knowledge is, but Master Ji Er is very clear about it.
It would be too forced for Mr. Ji San to participate in next year's boy exam.
If Mr. Ji San can study hard according to the current momentum, he may give it a try in three years.
Master Ji Er once mentioned this to Ji Xiaotang.
But Ji Xiaotang shook his head.
It is too difficult and takes too long to take the imperial examination by relying on real talents and real learning.
What Ji Xiaotang wants is to achieve it overnight.
The Ji family did not necessarily want another scholar, but if Master Ji San wanted to become another pillar of the Ji family, he needed a great deal of fame and fortune to protect him and walk around the world.
Calculated by time, Ji Xiaotang cannot wait for another year.
But she couldn't wait.
Master Ji San must take the Boy Examination next year, and pass the Mansion and Academy exams next year, and pass the Juren’s fame.
Chapter completed!
