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

"Brother, is there any way for women to take power in this world?"

Fang Nanzhi turned his head with a burning gaze.

Qin Yan picked up the teacup and began to think seriously.

He did not think that his sister's idea was too ambitious or rebellious. On the contrary, he agreed with it.

"Zhizhi, even though the world has blocked the path for women to take the imperial examinations, they can't stop women from taking power."

"Empress Dowager Lü's arbitrary rule of government is an example."

"It's just that she took a different path. It was too difficult to step from behind the scenes to the front of the stage."

Moreover, Qin Yan did not want his sister to go down this path. Empress Dowager Lu's ambition was forced out.

Of course, there are also those who, having tasted power, are unwilling to be manipulated by others again.

His sister wanted to walk on a bright road, so this method couldn't be used.

“Besides, it is well known that counselors, not only men with no hope of passing the imperial examination would choose this path, but also ambitious young ladies.”

Counsellors act as think tanks and although they can accumulate a certain reputation, they will not enter the officialdom, so naturally there is no restriction on men or women.

"A counselor assists his lord, using his power to realize his own ambitions. But Zhizhi, how difficult is it to find a lord who shares your ideals in the whole world?"

Throughout history, there have been many cases of counselors and lords falling out, and some even lost their lives.

"Another way is to take advantage of the situation. For example, Wang Yi worked together with her husband to formulate nine ingenious strategies to resist Ma Chao. She is famous for her courage and strategy."

"You can borrow power from your husband's family, parents, or brothers." Qin Yan looked directly at his sister.

Obviously, he would rather his sister take this path.

Apart from anything else, Second Uncle is now a fourth-rank general and can give her some convenience.

When my father gets promoted in the future, or when he passes the imperial examination, he can also lend his influence to my sister.

"Zhizhi, there are some things that can't only be done in the court. You can take advantage of the situation and accumulate fame. Once you have enough fame, you can stand on your own and take the stage."

Qin Yan taught her.

For example, the owner of Wanbaolou in Beijing, Boss Wan.

My father once asked him why no one from the Wan family entered the officialdom, and why Boss Wan, a restaurant owner, could be so powerful, not be inferior to the Eighth Prince and others, and even interfere with the core of Rongji Dim Sum.

Qin Yan and Zhou Zijing asked about it, and the latter only said two words: "famous scholar."

He will understand.

Famous scholars are respected and influential among scholars all over the world.

Princes and nobles were also happy to interact with them.

He felt that his sister could take this path.

Fang Nanzhi's face was full of seriousness, and she was lost in thought.

Qin Yan didn't urge her. The brother and sister chatted until very late before going to rest. They both got up late the next day.

[Congratulations to the host. Helping my brother on his path to the imperial examination is progressing smoothly, and he has already achieved the status of a Juren. This will reward you with 10 million health points. Also, a special offer in the trade mall: a special-grade rejuvenation pill, available for purchase for 10 million health points. This pill can permanently repair certain injuries.]

[Excuse me, would you like to exchange it?]

Fang Nanzhi blinked. Does this mean that his brother's leg can be completely healed?

The past two years have been sustained by low-level elixirs and health points.

[Exchange!] Fang Nanzhi shouted in his heart.

At the same time, Qin Yan's mind was also ringing.

[Congratulations, host! Your sister has successfully completed her teaching. She has become a talented writer and a skilled doctor. I'm rewarding you with a blind box gift pack.]

[Congratulations to the host, after many years of hard work, the Little Head of the Household mission has been successfully completed. I will reward you with a family bucket gift box.]

[Ding Ding Ding! The system has detected that my sister is about to embark on her journey to become a celebrity. As a loving brother, how can I not show some concern? The main quest begins: Help my sister become a celebrity and leave a lasting legacy.]

Qin Yan looked calm and composed, and felt that this system was somewhat biased.

Forget it, Zhizhi is cute after all.

Qin Yan didn't get the two big gift packages, but he did receive 10 million health points, which he then spent immediately and exchanged for a special-grade rejuvenation pill.

Fang Nanzhi received two big gift packages early in the morning.

She didn't rush to open it, so she put it in the system first. She had to get up and visit the gentlemen today.

The family went to Zheng's house first.

When Mr. Zhou met Yuan Bo and An Mei, he knew that his apprentice had not suffered any injustice outside.

As for Mr. Zheng, I just sent someone to tell him, for fear that he would worry.

Zheng's house, front hall.

Qin Yan and Fang Nanzhi knelt down and bowed to the Master together.

"The student/disciple greets the teacher and hopes that he is well."

Mr. Zheng looked at the two of them, and in a trance he thought of the time when they went to the county academy to study.

A little girl who is fearless and has an indescribable spirituality.

A young man, very talented but with a dark side in his eyes from time to time.

Now, both children have grown up. One remains true to her original intention and is still lively, while the other has a clear gaze, no longer burdened by worries.

"Okay, okay, get up."

"Brother Yan won the first place in the provincial examination again this time, but he surpassed me, the teacher."

Mr. Zheng jokingly said, "It's true that the disciple surpasses the master."

Qin Yan quickly became humble.

"Sir, you're joking. Whether it's vision, experience, or heart, I'm just a rookie. I'm nowhere near as good as you."

Qian Fengping responded with a smile.

"That's right. If it weren't for Mr. Zheng's advice, this child probably wouldn't be where he is today."

"Mr. Zheng, you will always be the husband of our two children." Fang Tong also spoke.

Mr. Zheng smiled and shook his head without saying much.

His gaze fell on the real disciple, and the relief in his eyes could not be hidden.

"Zhizhi, you've become much calmer after returning from your study tour. It's clear you've made progress."

Fang Nanzhi grinned and said, "Sir, there is a saying that a good teacher produces good students. With a teacher like you, it is difficult for the disciple not to make progress."

Mr. Zheng was amused.

"You, you, you!"

After chatting for a while, Mr. Zheng started to test his disciples' schoolwork and their experiences during their travels.

Fang Tong and his wife listened quietly without disturbing them.

After a long time, Mr. Zheng nodded.

"It seems that your absence hasn't slacked off in your studies, Zhizhi. You are gifted and intelligent, and you have always been self-disciplined. I am always proud of you."

Fang Nanzhi thought the voice sounded strange and looked up at the teacher.

"But you are too young, and your actions are still not thorough enough."

"Take the matter of the Mountain God of Puliu Town, for example. If you hadn't happened to meet Luo Chi and his gang, who were full of youthful enthusiasm and unwilling to tolerate injustice, would you have planned to create some other god to challenge the Mountain God?"

Mr. Zheng looked at his disciple sternly.

Fang Nanzhi lowered his head guiltily.

If she hadn't met Luo Chi and Sima Che at Dingxianglou, she would have thought so.

Find another god to perform some so-called miracles.

Miracles are easy to create. She can use some mixed powders to make them appear, for example, something blessed by God can attract butterflies or something.

At worst, there is still the system. If she spends trading coins to buy something, it can easily be regarded as a manifestation of the gods.

During the fight between the two, if they expose the human sacrifices in the mountain temple, they will surely deal a heavy blow to the other side.

"Aren't you afraid that the local magistrate will punish you all with fifty lashes of the cane, and also punish the god you concocted?"

"Zhizhi, you are a stranger in Puliu Town. You can't hide anything you do from the eyes of the local bigwigs."

"For example, Luo Chi and the others' strange illness, wasn't it discovered by County Magistrate Luo in the end? Wasn't it related to you?"

"You're lucky the parents didn't come after you. Otherwise, if they were to hold you responsible for poisoning someone, how would you have handled it?"

Fang Nan's head drooped lower and lower, and his two hands unconsciously touched each other.

In fact, when she learned from Luo Chi the hidden story behind the human sacrifice, which even involved high-ranking officials in the capital, she realized that she was still too reckless.

Fortunately, County Magistrate Luo and others would not leak anything in order to help their sons clean up their mess.

otherwise……

Mr. Zheng saw the remorse on her face and knew that she realized her mistake.

This child has always been like this, he understands things very quickly. It's a pity that he has to go to the capital.

He withdrew his thoughts and suddenly reached out to touch his beloved disciple's head.

"Teacher knows that you are intelligent and have a pure heart, which is rare and precious."

"But more importantly, you must take care of yourself and think twice before doing anything."

Mr. Zheng’s words were profound.

Fang Nanzhi nodded seriously.

"Are you going to the capital?"

"Yes, sir, in three days."

"Well, I'm old now, so I'm afraid I can't travel with you any more. But I'm relieved to have Dr. Zhou teaching you."

Mr. Zheng had obviously discussed this with Mr. Zhou a long time ago.

"However, once you arrive in the capital, you must not slack off on your studies. Your teacher has a letter for you."

"Take the letter and go to the capital to find an old friend of mine. I have asked him to teach you on my behalf for a while."
