Quick Wear: The Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 505: Traveling Through Time and Being a Slave (7)

Wasn't the ancient times a feudal society with strict hierarchy? Then they should have set up barriers to make it difficult for these slaves to cross!

Why did they allow Ning Ning to take the imperial examination? This is so unfair!

No, he is not willing to accept this, he is not willing to accept this!!!

Chen Yiming was so angry that his vision turned pale and he couldn't even see the test paper clearly.

All the tiny sounds in the examination room were infinitely amplified in his ears. There was the sound of flipping papers. Was Ning Ning copying the papers after finishing them?

Someone's pen dropped.

Who?

Is it Ning Ning?

Has he already started playing with his pen with great pride?

Chen Yiming was completely unable to concentrate on the test paper and kept thinking about Ning Ning's every word and action.

He even began to hallucinate, as if he heard Ning Ning say proudly, "Humph, you are finished, you still have the nerve to call yourself a young master, you are not even as good as me. You still have the nerve to talk to me about equality, actually I have never looked down on you, people are indeed divided into different classes, but you and I are not of the same level, you are far worse than me!"

"Ahhhh!!!"

He really couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up, rushed out of his room, and ran towards Ning Ning's room.

"You little dog slave, how dare you betray your master! Who allowed you to take the exam? Get out of here!!!"

Unfortunately, before he could rush to Ning Ning's cell, he was rushed over by patrolling officers and pinned to the ground!

He was still struggling and cursing!

"Let me go! Do you know who I am? My father is the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple! That bastard is our servant. He has no right to take the exam! Let me go! I want to kick him out!"

The examiner was so angry that his face turned blue. "How dare he disrupt the examination room? Come on, drag him out and give him a beating, then send him back to the Chen family. I will report this matter personally, and I ask you gentlemen to decide how to punish him!"

A few ferocious officers agreed and dragged him out immediately.

They still have to continue taking the exam and can’t affect others.

Chen Yiming was taken outside and beaten so badly that he screamed in pain. The people here were much more severe than those from the Chen family.

The guards were watching the fun nearby and making sarcastic remarks, "A Guanglu Temple Junior Secretary is so great?! This is the capital, under the feet of the emperor. Throwing a brick can hit several officials."

"I've learned a lot today. I've seen people bring cheat sheets with them, and I've seen people faint from nervousness, but I've never seen anyone openly causing trouble in the exam room."

"What did he just say? His servants are here to take the exam too?"

"I know this. I was the one who let that person in just now. He was poor at first, and worked for his family for two years. Now that time has passed, he has regained his freedom. He also took the Tongsheng exam before. Why can't you let him take the exam?"

"Oh, looking at him like that, I thought he was sold to his family. It's really unfortunate for the Chen family to raise a son like this!"

After hearing their words and feeling the pain, Chen Yiming's hot head gradually calmed down and he began to regret it.

But it was too late for him to regret. After the beating, he could not even stand up. A runner had already gone to the Chen family to report the news. The Chen family hurried over and did not dare to say much. Several servants carried him into the carriage. The housekeeper put on a smiling face, stuffed a silver ingot into the leading runner, and whispered to him about what their second young master had done wrong.

Having received the benefit, the officer did not mind saying a few more words to him, "Is this the second young master of your house? Oh, it is really unreasonable. That Ning Ning used to be a servant in your house? But now he is not a servant anymore. When he heard that I was also taking the imperial examination this time, he couldn't stand it and made a scene in the examination room, wanting to beat me up. I have also seen many candidates, but none of them dared to do this. Even if there is any grudge, it is not too late to solve it after the exam."

"Is Ning Ning also going to have a fate this time? I don't know. But she is no longer our servant. What she does has nothing to do with us. She is our young master Meng Lang. I will report to the master now."

So, before Chen Yiming even got up, Chen's father already knew about it and was furious. If Chen Yiming hadn't been injured and unable to get up, he would have wanted to beat Chen Yiming again!

"Evil creature! You have done something like this, which not only affects your own future, but also affects the Chen family! I raised you, how could I have done anything wrong to you, and now I have to be implicated by you!"

Mother Chen was also anxious, "Master, is this a serious matter?"

"What do you think? Although it's just a test for a scholar, this is under the emperor's feet. The imperial examination is no small matter. There are so many eyes watching. Well, I should pay more attention to the movements of the court."

Chen's father's guess was correct. Things were really getting worse and worse. If Chen Yiming was just an ordinary scholar, it would be fine, but the bad thing was that he was the son of an official.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. Chen's father is not without political enemies in the officialdom, not to mention there are a bunch of censors whose biggest job is to report people. When they heard about this, they immediately came to report that he did not manage his family well.

Chen's father was anxious. The matter had actually reached the point where it had reached the ears of the emperor. He could only submit a memorial to apologize and defend himself.

But no matter what, Chen Yiming did make a mistake, and the emperor issued an edict forbidding him to take the imperial examination again.

This means that he can no longer be an official. As a member of a family of officials, he is considered useless.

Moreover, Chen's father was also reprimanded and fined half a year's salary.

Father Chen was not only worried about the money, but also worried that he had left a bad impression on the emperor, which might affect his career.

He had originally had a great chance of moving up a level, but this time it was all gone.

Age is not ignored in the officialdom. In a few years, he will have even less chance.

Chen's father suddenly became disheartened, as if he had aged ten years. He went back and said to Chen's mother, "I have an unfilial son. It is really a misfortune for our family. Find him a good wife, and then separate the family. Don't let him come to our house unless necessary in the future."

Chen's mother agreed, but she was a little embarrassed. "Who would be willing to marry their daughter to him?"

There were originally many young ladies from official families in the capital, but he was a bastard's son and had no future at all. He would also bring trouble to the other bastards in his family. Which young lady from an official family would agree to this?

Even if she is a lady from a business family, you can't agree to it. When they see that you can't get any help from your family, why would they want to marry you? It would be a shame if the marriage fails and you end up making enemies instead.

Father Chen said dejectedly, "Then write a letter back to his hometown and ask him to go back and get married. Otherwise, with his temper, he might get into trouble in Beijing."

"Listen to the master."

This was a top priority for the Chen family, so of course they rushed to do it. Soon, the Chen family replied, arranging a marriage for Chen Yiming with the daughter of a scholar.

Although the family had a scholar, they were so poor that they could barely afford food, and were planning to use their daughter's betrothal gift to keep the family going.
