Voice of the heart: Those who are eaten by the real daughter are in bad luck

Chapter 87 Three years later and another three years

In the study room next door, there were not only the people mentioned by Zhang Shuier, but Lu Jinchuan and Song Junyan had also brought the chief examiner and relevant officials of that year to Zhang Yongping's study room.

Ensure that whenever Lu Xinran needs it, the cause and effect can be sorted out smoothly.

Lu Xinran picked up the tea bowl, lowered his head and took a sip, then widened his eyes in slight surprise.

“This tea is delicious.”

"Right, let me tell you, my brother is a man who knows how to enjoy life. Everything he eats and uses is of the finest quality. I'll steal some of his tea and you can take it back with you when you leave."

Zhang Xinji, who was right next door and could hear the conversation clearly, said: "..."

She is really his good sister!

Lu Xinran pretended to be polite, but when he saw that the two of them were talking about a topic he didn't care about, he lowered his head and flipped through the booklet.

[Tao had been thinking about how to cultivate Zhao Kaiyan since he was born. She found a real Taoist priest and wanted him to read Zhao Kaiyan's horoscope and predict his life. But the Taoist priest just pinched his fingers, shook his head and left.]

[She invited several Taoist priests, but no one was willing to say a word.]

[She had no choice but to let go of this idea and had people read the Four Books and Five Classics beside him since he was a child, trying to help him win at the starting line.]

[Zhao Kaiyan did not disappoint her. He started learning at the age of four and could recite poems at the age of six. He was praised by his teacher for his intelligence.]

[Tao and Zhao Jingtian were both extremely happy about this, especially Tao. A lie told a thousand times becomes true. She also began to believe in her heart that her son was the god of literature incarnate.]

[Zhao Kaiyan took the examination for the title of scholar at the age of twelve, but failed three times in a row, which was difficult for both Tao and Zhao Jingtian to accept.]

[Tao heard that if one entered the Imperial College, one could bypass the scholar and directly participate in the provincial examination. She put a lot of thought into it and specially trained a girl and sent her to Zhao Jingtian's room. This allowed him to find a way to send Zhao Kaiyan to the Imperial College.]

[After entering the Imperial College, Zhao Kaiyan seemed to have his Ren and Du meridians opened up. In the second year, he took the provincial examination and passed with the ninth place.]

【Zhao Jingtian's previous doubts were dispelled because of this, and he had already begun to dream of the Rongen Marquis's Mansion being promoted to the Marquis' Mansion and the Duke's Mansion. As a result, Zhao Kaiyan failed to pass the exam in the second year, just three places short of passing.】

[In the next subject, I was four places behind. In the next subject, I was five places behind. Three years later, I was three more places behind.]

[This is another three failures. He is already thirty years old.]

[He was anxious, and Mrs. Tao was even more anxious than him. Zhao Jingtian had doubts in his heart, but Mrs. Tao had been married to him for more than 20 years, and their children were married and had their own children. How could he divorce her now because of the lie she told him?]

[Even if he guessed that Tao was setting him up to marry him, he could only grit his teeth and accept it, and he couldn't ignore his son's future. ]

When Lu Xinran saw this, he couldn't help but spit again.

She really hates this family now.

In the next yard, Zhao Jingtian's face had turned as pale as paper, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

When Zhao Kaiyan heard her talk about her own experiences, how he had failed the county examination for the title of scholar three times in a row, and had failed the examination for the title of Jinshi three times in a row, he felt a little resentful when he thought of all the misfortunes he had experienced in his youth.

Wen has no first, Wu has no second.

It was obvious that the examiner was blind. His essays had been praised by His Majesty, so why did he fail every time?

While he was feeling angry and dissatisfied, Lu Xinran had already sorted out the follow-up.

[Wow, the examiner for that subject turned out to be the Minister of Rites Du Liang! ]

[At that time, he was still the Minister of Rites. The emperor wanted to promote him, so he appointed him as the chief examiner of that subject.]

[After failing to pass the exam three times, Zhao Kaiyan was afraid that he would still fail the fourth time, so he knelt in front of Zhao Jingtian before the exam and begged him to help him.]

[How could Zhao Jingtian bear to let his son, whom he had high hopes for, waste his time again and again? He had to find a way to bribe the examiner in order to help him.]

[Since he was already trying to bribe the examiner, why didn't he make a bigger plan? ]

[He first went to Du Liang several times, promised him many benefits, and repeatedly promised to help him take the position of Minister of Rites, and then asked him to find a way to test the test questions, and then secretly "sell" the test questions to several families that benefited them. ]

[The emperor originally wanted to promote Du Liang, so he deliberately set the test questions for that subject in advance during his probing.]

[Du Liang and Zhao Jingtian were also very smart. They knew that the exam questions could not be sold but could only be given as favors, so they asked people to find out which young people would take the exam that year, and they could win over those people.]

【Zhao Jingtian was quite smart. He knew that Zhao Kaiyan had failed several times and his academic performance was probably not very good, so he asked someone to revise the essay he had written again and again, just to ensure that he could pass the exam but not be too outstanding.】

[In the end, as he had imagined, Zhao Kaiyan ranked 38th in the second class of that subject. There were a total of 92 people who passed the exam, and his ranking was at the bottom of the second class, which was not a ranking that would attract attention.]

[Among the families who got the exam papers from them, only one of them had his cheat sheet found when he entered the exam room and failed to copy the papers. The others all passed the exam.]

[It's just a pity for those students who were replaced by them. They studied hard for many years, but in the end they failed because of the blatant cheating by others who were powerful and influential. ]

Zhang Shuier was already familiar with her routine. As long as she started sighing, it meant she wanted to take a break.

Seeing her sigh softly, he pretended not to hear it and poured her another bowl of tea.

"We just heard about a new bookstore that opened in the city. The owner came from the south. There are many travel notes and storybooks that are popular there but haven't been seen in the capital yet. Should we go and take a look one day?"

"Okay!"

Lu Xinran's attention was instantly drawn to the three words "storybook". Life would be so boring without melons to eat, so she would definitely buy a few more books when the time comes.

In the study room next door, everyone was still waiting for her to talk about which families got the test questions from Zhao Jingtian and Du Liang, but her mind suddenly changed to the cheerful notebook.

Everyone knew that this matter should come to an end for the time being.

Du Liang also had cold sweat on his forehead, but he believed that he had acted carefully and did not leave any handle.

When he first came into contact with Zhao Jingtian, it was in a secluded courtyard. A carriage drove directly into the courtyard from behind, and no one knew who was in the carriage.

Zhao Jingtian promised him benefits, but he only took real money. He had already deliberately spent the money over the years. Even if Zhao Jingtian turned around, there was no evidence to prove that he leaked the test questions.

Thinking of this, his heart calmed down. Facing the gazes from Zhang Yongping and the others, he just looked back calmly and innocently.

Zhao Jingtian wanted to say something else, but the topic next to him turned to the topic of riding a horse to commit crimes.

He didn't even have time to wipe the sweat off his forehead before he heard the voice that frightened him so much sound again.

[Let me see what evil things Zhao Kailuo has done. ]

[People who have no bottom line are also born bad. Zhao Kaile is more vicious than Zhao Jingtian and Tao. Such people do not deserve to live in this world. ]

The scientific examination cheating case turned into a murder case. Song Junyan and Tang Quyan looked at each other and both sat up straight.
