MTL - The Reborn Lady is Farming-Chapter 1389 Extra 范子 衿 (6)
My son passed the Tongsheng exam at a young age, Fan Siwen was naturally happy, although he still kept his face straight, he gave his son a set of precious four treasures of the study and an orphan book in one go.
Fan Zijin is no longer Wuxia Amon. In the past few years, his father's partiality has made him a little cold, but he is still happy to receive his gift. He even thought in his heart, if he was better, would his father's heart be more righteous?
At this time, he no longer wanted his father to favor him, he just needed him to be fair.
The most important thing is that Fan Zijin has understood that in terms of the current relationship between their father and son, he can rely on his father very little in the future, and he will rely on himself in the future. I spent my whole life at home watching my parents quarrel, fighting with my concubine for that poor father's love.
He wanted to go out and break out of his own piece of sky.
In the future, he will walk farther and stand taller than his father. He will look down on him from a height and give shelter to those he cares about, such as his mother, such as Qi Haoran.
Carrying such a dream, Fan Zijin threw himself into the ocean of books with greater perseverance after being proud for a period of time. The gentlemen nodded with satisfaction when they saw that he worked hard, and felt that Fan Zijin's future was limitless.
He is indeed amazing. He won the fourth place in the academy examination at the age of twelve. Although it was only the fourth place, it was enough to make the gentlemen of the academy ecstatic.
There are many scholars in Jiangnan, and Lin'an is the capital, and there are more talents. The most fierce competition in the imperial examinations in the Great Zhou Dynasty is in Jiangnan and Shandong.
Shandong was occupied by Dajin long ago. After the imperial court fled south, most of the literati were concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River. This shows how much competition there is in the imperial examinations.
And Fan Zijin was able to enter the top four at the age of twelve. From this, his future can be foreseen. As long as people are not too pedantic, they can predict the day they will come out.
Therefore, the gentlemen of the academy were 100% satisfied with Fan Zijin, and the mountain chief even sought out people to reveal that he wanted to accept him as a disciple.
Although Fan Zijin was also proud, he was very respectful to the mountain chief and said with a smile: "I still need to ask my father and mother before making a decision, but my cousin Haoran and I are used to the academy, so there is no plan to change the academy."
Shangchang's face stiffened, and then he remembered the naughty things that Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran had done in the past. He seemed to have discussed with the gentlemen to try to separate the two boys next year.
After all, Fan Zijin has read the Four Books and Five Classics thoroughly, but Qi Haoran is still struggling with The Doctrine of the Mean.
This was given to him in advance. If they were separated, Fan Zijin would change the academy, and if they were not separated, he would stay here forever.
The head of the mountain stared at Fan Zijin's blowing beard, and said, "If you want to stay together, then you should be honest. Did you mix the salt and sugar in the cafeteria last time? It caused you to eat a meal of beets in the cafeteria... "
Fan Zijin said with a smile on his face: "Shan Chief, it's not our fault, someone forced us to bet, saying..."
"Okay, okay," the mountain chief interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "No matter what your reasons are, next time you make trouble again, I won't call your father and mother here, but directly call Qi Haoran's father here. ."
If Qi Feng came to the academy, he would most likely bring Qi Haoran to his home, not even to study.
Big cousin is not like this, if it wasn't for the Zhu family who still remembered the big cousin, he also had a plan in his heart.
Fan Zijin solemnly promised: "Don't worry, my cousin Haoran and I will definitely be obedient and study hard."
The chief of the mountain believed half of his promise and half suspicious, but he still waved his hand and said, "Now that the list is released, go back and celebrate with your family, and come back to school after a five-day break."
Fan Zijin answered happily, turned to look for Qi Haoran, but saw his calm face, he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"
Qi Haoran said with a sullen face: "I occasionally heard the servants of Qi's mansion say that my father wants to kiss for the eldest brother."
Qi Haoran practiced martial arts and had a keen ear, so he could always hear some gossip when he returned to the Qi residence for a short stay.
He knew this was his advantage, so he never told others, only Fan Zijin knew.
Fan Zijin frowned and said, "My eldest cousin is far away at the border, and we can't see each other, so how do you say kiss?"
"Parents ordered the matchmaker's words, they said that when the marriage is decided, the elder brother must recognize it, and he must recognize it if he does not recognize it."
Fan Zijin was not worried at all, he smiled and said, "Don't you know the temperament of the eldest cousin? It's useless to make a decision. What can my uncle do if he doesn't come back to marry him? He is a man who can delay time, a woman can Can't hold back."
In Da Zhou, a man married a wife at the age of fourteen or five years old, but later, twenty-one or two is also normal, especially for the sons of officials, you can choose a daughter-in-law slowly.
Although Fan Zijin was only twelve years old, he knew nothing about these things.
Qi Haoran heard the same thing. He didn't worry anymore, and began to discuss with Fan Zijin happily, "...How about we go horseback riding in the suburbs and bring a grill to barbecue?"
Fan Zijin tilted his head slightly and smiled: "Okay, but I have to see what my mother means. If there is a banquet at home to celebrate, then there will not be enough time."
It's a big event and a good thing for Fan Zijin to take the high school entrance examination. Xia Tong wanted to have a banquet to celebrate, so as soon as Fan Siwen came back, she happily turned around, "Master, it's rare for our family to have a happy event, why don't we invite a few close ones here? Come over to get together?"
Xia Tong thought that Fan Siwen would not agree, because he is a very low-key person, but he nodded after thinking for a while: "Okay, choose a good day to set up a few tables."
Xia Tong was stunned for a moment, and then happily said: "I'll go to see the calendar." He walked away like a gust of wind.
Xia Tong thought it was his son's efforts to make Fan Siwen agree with him, and even Fan Zijin thought it was because he gave him a long face, so his father changed his low profile and wanted to celebrate his success in the exam.
Fan Zijin was so proud of himself for a while, so uncomfortable, Qi Haoran had itchy teeth when he saw it, not to mention Fan Zixiao, who had always been a little bit uncomfortable with him.
Fan Zixiao, who is fifteen years old this year, still participated in the county exam with perseverance, but unfortunately he still failed to break through, and he is still in vain.
This is nothing, because the fifteen-year-old is still young in the childbirth test, and among them, there are old people with white hair and beard to participate in the childbirth test.
Not to mention that he is only fifteen years old this year, even if he is fifty-one, no one will laugh at him.
But who made him have a younger brother who was a nine-year-old student who passed the test and a twelve-year-old student who passed the test?
With the comparison, Fan Zixiao felt that everyone looked at him with mockery in their eyes, as if they were making fun of him for being overly capable.
Now even his father has given up his low profile to be happy for Fan Zijin, and Fan Zixiao is getting more and more depressed.
Fan Siwen saw in his eyes, and became more and more firm in his thoughts. On the eve of the banquet, Fan Siwen called Fan Zijin into the study, complimented him very happily, and then said: "Zijin, you are more powerful than your father. , It seems that your father can't help you much, unlike your elder brother, he has achieved nothing so far."
Fan Zijin's eyebrows jumped, and his intuition was not good. Seeing that his father wanted to talk at length, he hurriedly cut off his words and asked, "Father, if you have anything to say, just say it. I know that my eldest brother is not good at reading, so you don't need to repeat it."
Fan Siwen's face darkened. He said so, but he didn't think that the eldest son couldn't read. After all, few people can be as smart as Zijin.
It seems that the relationship between Zijin and his eldest brother is indeed not harmonious, Fan Siwen glanced at him helplessly, and said, "You are now a scholar, and you have a good teacher. What do you think of Enyin's quota for your eldest brother?"
