As for winning people's hearts, Qian Fengping is not stupid. She knows what Mr. Fang and the others are thinking without having to guess.

He just can't stand seeing others doing well and can't get enough of taking advantage of others.

He wishes all the benefits in the world belonged to him, and everyone else had to fawn on him.

A pure and mean heart.

Fang Nanzhi listened carefully and thought it made a lot of sense.

Isn’t this just adapting to the situation and taking advantage of it?

It turns out that my brother is so smart because he inherits his mother's intelligence.

Their whole family is so awesome!

Fang Nanzhi was very happy.

The students' families watched a great show and were left wanting more.

"This father-in-law brings his son's concubine to sell things? Why is that so weird? Is he a real father-in-law?"

"Yeah, he's old enough to take a concubine, but why doesn't he have any servants? And he's still running his own business?"

"What bad luck! I bought several self-heating pots from a concubine. It's really disgusting."

Several women immediately agreed.

Of course, how could a proper wife in the world like a concubine?

When Mr. Fang heard this, he felt embarrassed.

After all, he was respected as the master by the servants at home, but he couldn't afford to lose face, so he stuffed the things in his hand and left.

He went to rest in another place: "He, you take care of the stall."

He also wanted to leave, listening to those women saying that she was a worthless person and asking which good family's daughter would be a concubine.

She couldn't stay any longer, but she didn't dare leave.

In the crowd, Qin Gaofei, who was watching the excitement, felt a little cold for some reason.

This was the first time I looked at Qian seriously. She was a scholar's wife before, and I thought she was gentle. I didn't expect she was a murderer without bloodshed?

In short, after this incident, nothing happened outside the examination room.

In the afternoon, Fang Tong came driving an ox cart at full speed.

"What's going on? Has the person come out?" He was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat.

It was a big deal that his son had died, and he had to come and pick him up.

"No." Qian Fengping took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat: "There's still time. Sit down and take a breath."

Fang Nanzhi feeds cherries to her father.

He took a bite and the sweet and sour taste spread. Somehow, Fang Tong felt complete.

My son is ambitious, my daughter is smart, and my daughter-in-law is caring.

Hey.

After a while, the gong was rung in the examination room, indicating that the papers were being collected.

Qin Yan had copied the answers onto the test paper an hour ago, so he was very calm.

But Fang Jin, who was sitting behind him, had a look of anxiety on his face. He was trying to finish the paper as the questions this year were too difficult.

He glanced at Qin Yan's tall back, with contempt flashing in his eyes: You young boy, you must have stopped writing so early because you couldn't answer the question.

Humph, that’s true. How many years has Qin Yan studied?

Even though Qin Xiucai personally taught him when he was a child, he soon became a hunter and then became a disabled person. How could he have time to touch a book?

I'm afraid this exam will just be a waste of money.

Thinking of this, Fang Jin felt much better and calmed down.

After the yamen runners collected the papers and handed them all in, the students were finally able to leave.

As soon as Qin Yan came out, he saw his father standing in the front.

Fang Tong squeezed his way in. These students' families were too crazy. If they hadn't been blocked by the yamen runners, they would have gone into the examination hall to pick up their children.

If he met someone smaller than him, he would squeeze in; if he met someone bigger and stronger, he would step on their feet, and then he would rush forward while they were crying out in pain.

Fang Tong's face was full of smiles. He squatted in front of Qin Yan and said, "Brother Yan, come up."

Qin Yan's ears turned red, and he said reservedly: "Dad, no need, I can walk."

"Come up. You've been sitting for the whole day. You can't even stretch your legs in the examination room. They must be numb now. Hurry up, let dad carry you. From now on, when you pass the imperial examination, dad will carry you." Fang Tong urged.

What does a father do? Isn’t it just to carry his children forward?

While he is young, he can still recite it a few times. When he gets old, he will have to do it the other way around.

Qin Yan responded softly and leaned forward, but his eyes were a little wet.

Fang Tong carried the person on his back and squeezed out for a long time before he finally got out. He took his wife and daughter, got on the ox cart, and went home!

In the evening, Qian Fengping made scallion oil noodles.

The family had a great time eating, and no one asked Qin Yan how he did in the exam, for fear that the child would be nervous.

Instead, Qin Yan took the initiative to say, "Dad, Mom, I think I did okay on the test."

"Oh! Okay! Then you should digest your food and go to bed early, because you have to go to the examination hall tomorrow." Fang Tongle's teeth were about to show.

The county examination consisted of five sessions. After each session, the academic officials would grade the papers overnight and announce the results early the next morning. Only those whose names were on the list could proceed to the next session.

This is a new rule this year. In the past, it would take at least two or three days to release the list.

This way, the candidates will be tired and have to work around the clock.

"Yeah." Qin Yan agreed.

In order not to disturb Qin Yan, the family turned off the lights early.

Although they are all in the county town, many people can't sleep.

Mrs. He and Mr. Fang moved into the house arranged by the Wang family.

Old Master Fang was fine, living in a small courtyard. As for Mrs. He, Miss Wang didn't like her and made her sleep in the cowshed.

It was only early spring, but the nights were still very cold. He huddled in a corner, shivering with cold.

She felt that tonight was difficult, and Fang Jin was even more difficult.

He has an exam tomorrow and needs to have a good rest, but Miss Wang keeps pestering him and will use force if he doesn't get what she wants.

Qin Gaofei and his son slept in an inn and booked a room to save money.

Qin Shucai asked his father to sleep in the same bed with him, but Qin Gaofei was unwilling to do so. He was afraid of disturbing him and insisted on sleeping on the floor.

No matter how much he was persuaded, Qin Shucai could only agree.

He fell asleep quickly, but his father seemed to have fleas and couldn't sleep because he tossed and turned.

Qin Xiucai is dead. How could his son still study? How could he still take the imperial examination? He should have been crippled for life.

His son will have a bright future.

No matter what he thought, time passed quickly.

It was still dark when the students arrived outside the examination hall.

This time everyone seemed even more anxious because once the results were announced, some people stopped there and could not continue taking the exam.

"Boom boom boom!"

The bailiff struck the gong three times and came over with the list!

Fang Tong immediately squeezed over there, but when he couldn't squeeze through, he tried to use the same trick again. However, before he could step on anyone else, he was stepped on.

A seven-foot-tall man pushed the man with both hands, kicking him hard and cursing: "I got stepped on yesterday, no one wants to stand in my way today."

"Ouch, why are you stepping on people? Stop pushing!"

"Scatter quickly! I'm about to fart! Make way."

The crowd was noisy, and Fang Tong quickly shut up. "Talent! They are all talented!"

Is it necessary just to see the rankings?

At this moment, he had completely forgotten that he was the one who took the lead in playing the dirty trick yesterday.

"Why are you pushing? Move back!" the bailiff roared, and everyone finally behaved themselves.

One yamen runner posted the list, and the other two stood on both sides of the list holding torches.

It was still dark, and without a torch it was hard to see the words on the list.

Once the list was posted, the crowd, which had just quieted down, became crowded again.

"I won, my name was seen at a glance! Hahaha!" An old man in green clothes shouted excitedly.

Everyone around glanced at him, wondering if this guy was the top of the list!
