Xie Boyu just wanted to talk to Xiao Qingshan about this matter. He studied the bulletin from the official residence and analyzed the situation between the DPRK and China in private. After the government examination, he got the top 10 copied articles through Zhoucheng Xuezheng, and also Careful analysis was done.

He came to a bold conclusion, a result that made cold sweat break out down his spine, but he had to believe it.

This imperial examination is a game, with all the scholars in the country as pawns, a game between imperial power and aristocratic families.

The aristocratic family wants their children to enter the officialdom, seize positions, and then seek more resources and greater development. The emperor hoped that children from poor families could seize more places.

Xiao Qingshan is a student from a poor family. He was ranked tenth in the imperial examination, while his direct disciple Xie Jin was eleventh.

Of course, Xie Boyu would not tell Xiao Qingshan about these speculations. He only told him that the top ten in each state's capital examination could voluntarily choose whether to go to the state city to take the Asics test, and then be selected and appointed as officials.

After hearing what Mr. Xie said, Xiao Qingshan was a little confused. Can he become an official just after passing the examination?

In fact, in the previous dynasty, people could become officials even if they were promoted, but it was only the children of wealthy families who donated official posts, and most of them were low-ranking officials. His family has no money! For a moment, Xiao Qingshan had no idea and didn't know how to choose.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't know how to deal with it. Xiao Qingshan swallowed his saliva and asked hesitantly: "Sir, can you allow me to think about it for two days, and then I will tell you?"

Xie Boyu also knew that this student was a bit naive. If he broke this matter apart and told him the inside story, Xiao Qingshan would naturally know how to choose.

But he couldn't, because he also came from a noble family, and it was just his guess.

"Such a big thing, you really need to think about it. Anyway, the county will not send the registration information to the prefecture until the end of the month," Xie Boyu said with a smile.

Moreover, Xiao Qingshan is the only one from their county among the top 10 in the Qingzhou General Examination. After Xie Boyu finished saying what he wanted to say, he sat relaxed in the chair, not as straight as usual.

On the other hand, Xiao Qingshan was very nervous at the moment and even had shortness of breath.

Xiao Qingshan was thinking about the battle between heaven and man at the moment. One moment he wanted to say goodbye and turn around and leave, the other moment he wanted to take out the article on his chest and ask questions. Finally, I thought of my daughter’s big, bright eyes.

He wanted to ask clearly. He had never understood why Xie Jin wanted to frame him, but now he understood. He doesn't need the tenth place, but he can't put his wife and daughter in danger.

After thinking clearly, Xiao Qingshan took out the two pieces of paper in his arms, unfolded them gently, and pretended to be relaxed and said to Xie Boyu: "Sir, I have one more thing. On the day of the banquet hosted by the students' parents, which classmate will be the leader?" I have written my own article, please give me some advice.

Unexpectedly, I was a little greedy that day and actually left the article in my study. The student brought the article with him today and asked the teacher to read it. The student was so stupid that he could not recognize which classmate's handwriting it was. "

After speaking, he handed the article in his hand to Xie Boyu. Xie Boyu lowered his head to read the article, his hands shaking a little.

He actually noticed something that day, but he only thought that Xie Jin was dissatisfied with the fact that his score in the general examination was lower than Xiao Qingshan, so he teamed up with others to tease Xiao Qingshan and laugh at the Xiao family's poverty.

Xie Boyu had his own conjectures about the test, and he thought it would be fine if Xie Jin's plan succeeded and he vented his anger.

So I just warned Xie Jin, but I didn't expect Xie Jin to be so vicious. I thought that Master Song from the county seat came on behalf of the county magistrate. If this article had been exposed at that time, Xiao Qingshan's family of four, even his husband, might not have been able to escape!

Xie Jin was born in a branch of the Xie family, and was actually of the same clan as Xie Boyu. At that time, Xie Boyu had disagreements with others in the Imperial College because of his different ideas, and was eventually defeated and left Beijing.

When he left Beijing, the family felt that he had brought shame on the family, and no one saw him off. Only Xie Jin's father was waiting at Shiliting. Most of the family members were responsible for the family's business and had a lot of money. Xie Jin's father gave Cheng Yi to Xie Boyu.

Later, Xie Boyu was always grateful for this friendship, so he made an exception and accepted Xie Jin as his direct disciple, taking him with him to teach him in real time. I can't believe that I could teach such a ruthless person.

Businessmen are the best at seeing the situation clearly. It is expected that Xie Jin's father in Beijing already knew about the addition of Yashi officers. I had written to him a long time ago and told him that if Xie Jin could kill him with such pain, there might be other temptations.

Xie Boyu folded the article and put it in his sleeve pocket, looked at Xiao Qingshan who looked nervous and said, "Don't worry, I will return the article to him."

Xiao Qingshan instantly felt relieved. The husband didn't know about it and was willing to help him solve the matter. He didn't miss it just now, the anger and coldness that the husband felt when he read the article. In this way, Xiao Qingshan felt much more relieved.

On the way back from the county seat, Xiao Qingshan recalled every detail of his son and daughter. When his daughter was more than one year old, she asked him in a sweet voice why he didn't help his wife with some farm work when he came back from a rare vacation.

Last year, my daughter reminded her in advance that her wife’s birthday was coming and she had to bring a gift back next time she was on vacation. In this crisis, my daughter discovered that she had to solve an urgent problem by herself.

I have to admit that his daughter is a very independent and calm person.

Mrs. Dong looked at the head of the household doubtfully, and then at the children sitting beside her. Looking at Xiao Qingshan's serious face, I couldn't help but wonder if Mingjun went out to play and got into trouble?

He quickly said: "Master, what are you going to say? Mingjun was practicing calligraphy at home all day long and he was so good that he didn't go out to cause trouble."

Mingjun turned to look at his mother: Thank you for complimenting me!

Mingjia couldn't help laughing: Mom has a good imagination!

Xiao Qingshan couldn't help but laugh and asked his wife to sit down. He talked about sending officials to Kauas and concluded: "This is a big deal for our family and needs to be discussed by the whole family."

Well, in his heart he was actually inclined to take the Asian examination, but his husband also said that the place he sent officials to was destined to be remote, and he was very reluctant to let his wife and daughter suffer with him, which made him extremely hesitant.

He couldn't decide this on his own.

After understanding the meaning of Xiao Qingshan's words, Ming Jun was eager to express his thoughts.

Mingjia understood in her heart: "Xie Jin is here for this official position."

Mingjia has always been at peace with herself as her little bastard. If Xie Jin hadn't framed her this time, the whole family might have been killed. She wouldn't have done anything beyond what a 3-year-old child should do.

Xiao Qingshan signaled his son to express his thoughts. Mingjun said, "Dad, where are you going to become an official? Will you take us with you?"

"You need to pass the ASJ exam before you can be assigned as an officer. If you are assigned as an officer, you may go to a very remote place, and life will be very difficult." After receiving his father's affirmation, Mingjun smiled on his face.

The boy is looking forward to being an official with his father. In his eyes, it is like traveling. As for the hardship his father mentioned, he has no idea, let alone cares.
