After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

In fact, she doesn't care that much.

Only the neighbors in the city would think so. They didn't know about Qian Fengping and Fang Tong's past, couldn't understand their feelings, and only thought according to human nature.

The people in Mushan Village certainly wouldn’t think so.

They knew too well how miserable Fang Tong had been in the past. If he had not married into Qian Fengping's family, he would have been skinned and bled dry by the Fang family.

Qian Fengping had a hard life in the past. Her husband died, her son was disabled, and she was bullied by her clan.

In short, when Fang Nanzhi knew about this, she also felt that her mother had suffered a great injustice.

Humph, after she discusses it with Dad, she’ll have to help Mother get back at her senses.

"Master Fang, I want to ask, how do you feel about having such a promising son? Why does my son have no talent for studying and always gets into trouble in school?"

The person who spoke was a yamen runner.

His family situation is not very good, and they have to tighten their belts to support their children, but the brat just doesn't live up to his expectations.

Not only does he always lag behind in exams, he also fights and skips classes.

As a father of a problem student, he envied the fathers of those academically well-educated children from the bottom of his heart.

They are both fathers. One is treated with courtesy when he sees the master, while the other humbles himself and apologizes when he sees the master.

Bitter!

Fang Tong seemed to think about it seriously.

"If I were to describe my feelings, it's just average. As you all know, my son has been the top scorer in the county exam since the very beginning. He's been the top scorer all the way, so I'm used to it."

When these words came out, Brother Lu couldn't help but grin.

Fang Tong continued to blow.

"Actually, I think we shouldn't put too much pressure on children. It's okay if Brother Yan doesn't get first place next time. We should experience life from different perspectives."

Fang Nanzhi got goosebumps when she passed by and heard what he said.

Qin Yan shuddered, but still sat obediently beside his father with a smile on his face: "My father has always valued me more than my studies."

The cooperation between the father and son made everyone at the table feel sick.

It sounds like a humble statement, so why does it make people so unconvinced?

Fang Nanzhi couldn't stand it anymore and left. Her brother and her father were becoming more and more in cahoots with each other.

The Qin family's bustle continued until the evening, and Brother Lu left with the yamen runners.

A few neighbors wanted to stay and get closer, but Fang Tong had already politely asked them to leave.

All the outsiders left, and Yuan Bo and An Mei also said goodbye.

They wanted to go back to Zhou's house to report to the old doctor Zhou.

Chen Dalang was allowed to stay temporarily and Qin Yan arranged a room for him.

In addition, there were more than a dozen people, led by Bai Wu. They were sent by Fang Yin to pick up the family and bring them to Beijing. They had been living in Qin's house for the past few days.

"Master, Young Master Qin passed the imperial examination and will have to continue studying to take the imperial examination."

"The top-scoring candidate in the Juren exam can directly enter the Imperial College, the highest institution of learning in the world, and the most suitable candidate for Young Master Qin."

Bai Wu spoke frankly, but his eyes showed, "So, when do you think it's appropriate to go to Beijing?"

Fang Tong thought about it and decided that it would not be good to keep dragging it out.

Bai Wu and the others also hold official positions, so it would be bad to always delay them.

"Then let's say three days later."

Before leaving, they always had to go back to their hometown to explain everything.

Besides, since Brother Yan has passed the high school entrance exam this time, we have to hold a banquet in the village.

"Okay." Bai Wu was satisfied and led his men away without disturbing the family's conversation.

"Brother, you got first place. Did Zhou Zijing pass the exam?"

Fang Nanzhi asked impatiently.

"It should be a win. Let's visit Zhou's house tomorrow."

Qin Yan spoke.

He had some understanding of Zhou Zijing's knowledge.

"Zhizhi, you should call Zijing brother. Why do you call him by his full name? It's impolite." Fang Tong scolded his daughter.

Fang Nanzhi said confidently: "He is my nephew, I am the elder."

Fang Tong slapped his forehead and said, "It's true, the generations are quite confusing."

Qin Yan was embarrassed for a moment. He and Zhou Zijing were like brothers. Well, each of them had their own way.

"Brother Yan, are you going to enter the Imperial College in the future? Aren't the teachers in Luming Academy said to be very powerful?" Qian Fengping asked with concern.

Qin Yan pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"If we only consider the teacher's ability, Luming Academy is not much worse than the Imperial College. However, if you want to pave the way for the officialdom in the future, the Imperial College is still the first choice."

"Especially for students from poor families like us, entering the Imperial College is like getting a taste of the officialdom."

"The Imperial College is mostly populated by the children of officials and various factions, but in the end, it's still a group of young people who can befriend."

These things have been analyzed by the teacher of Luming Academy.

If one has no interest in officialdom in the future and only wants to be a talented scholar through the imperial examination, or if one has a good family background and can accumulate reputation even if he is not in the capital, he can stay in Luming Academy.

Of course, there are also those who cannot enter the Imperial College.

Only the top-ranked Juren can enter the Imperial College directly.

Others not only have to take entrance exams, but also pay high tuition fees, which alone is enough to discourage many people.

"Okay, then let's go." Fang Tong nodded. They didn't understand this kind of thing, so they just listened to the child.

As for my daughter, there is no need to worry. Old Doctor Zhou has already announced that she will go to Beijing with his apprentice.

They didn't talk for long before Fang Tong started to feel dizzy from the alcohol. He had drunk quite a bit today.

Qian Fengping took care of him and went to rest.

The brother and sister were not sleepy, so they simply took some dried fruits and drinks and watched the moon in the yard.

Qin Yan hadn't felt so relaxed for a long time.

When he was in the academy, he raced against time and did not dare to slack off. When he went to the provincial examination, he was also cautious in his words and actions.

Only in this small courtyard, no, only in this small courtyard can the family relax completely.

"Zhizhi, have you thought about what you want to do after arriving in Beijing?"

He knew that Mr. Zhou arranged for his sister to study abroad so that she could see the world and think about her future career as a doctor.

If you want to enter the Imperial Medical Service, you have to start paving the way by going to Beijing.

Fang Nanzhi shook his head and looked at the moon sky.

"Brother, I don't know."

"These days, I've met a lot of people. Some of them look healthy, but they're actually sick at heart."

“Some people are physically ill, but their illness is caused by ignorance and pressure from others.”

"If Master planned for me, and I really became a royal physician, would I be able to cure these?"

"In the eyes of those people, the imperial physician only treats the royal family and officials."

What she said was a little confusing, but Qin Yan understood.

"The people need to be enlightened, not only in terms of reading and writing, but also in terms of medicine, farming, marriage and funerals, and so on."

Fang Nanzhi nodded.

"I want to do this, brother."

"If the mountain dwellers of Puliu Town weren't superstitious about mountain gods, and if local officials took the laws of our dynasty seriously and didn't try to exploit loopholes, wouldn't those things have happened?"

"Brother, I want to do so much. I think I'm too greedy. I feel like being just a doctor doesn't give me enough say."

"Oh, if I were a man, I could take the imperial examination."

Fang Nanzhi's face wrinkled into a ball.

Mr. Zhou might be able to find a way to allow her to serve as a woman in the Imperial Medical Bureau, since imperial physicians do not participate in state affairs.

But there was absolutely no way to let her take the imperial examination.

The imperial examination requires a body search.
