After rebirth, I became a national teacher

With his rank, which nobleman would look down upon him?

Without a good teacher or guidance and support from the in-laws, the imperial examination would be extremely difficult.

Even if you pass the exam by chance, it will be difficult to get promoted quickly in your future career.

Maybe at the end of his life, he won't even be able to cross the threshold of the fifth rank.

With such a ranking, it’s better not to win!

Qin Zhenniang's eyes suddenly turned red.

Teacher Qiao left in anger.

Mr. and Mrs. Qiao couldn't help but start blaming Qin Zhenniang for her unpleasant words and making their son unhappy.

Zhenniang held the handkerchief in her hand and said nothing.

It was a happy day and the weather was nice and crisp in autumn, but she felt extremely depressed.

When the Qin family learned that Qiao Shiyou was ranked last on the list, they were no longer as happy for their son-in-law as they had been in the past.

But for Zhenniang's sake, he still asked someone to prepare an impeccable gift and send it to her.

When the Qiao family saw the gift, they couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The Qiao family is not in the countryside, so there won’t be many farmers or landlords who will come to them with their land.

This ranking will not be as valued by wealthy businessmen as the top five.

I had originally expected the Qin family to be overjoyed and give me a generous gift, but I didn't expect the gift to be just a mere three hundred taels of silver.

Teacher Qiao became increasingly dissatisfied with the Qin family.

He thought to himself that the Qin family might also dislike his ranking!

The Yue family is so snobbish that they will never let them get any benefit when he becomes successful in the future.

Moreover, don't blame him for being unjust if they are unkind.

Before he finds a better backer, he must make full use of the Qin family to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Five days later, at the Lu Ming Banquet, he had adjusted his mentality completely and dressed up properly to attend the banquet.

The Lu Ming Banquet is the first step for newly promoted scholars to officially enter the local official circle.

Not only the chief examiner, but also many local prominent officials will participate.

In places like Nandu City, some lords would also come to the banquet.

Originally, the first place winner should have been the most popular among the candidates, but he was already thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and the dignitaries were not very interested in choosing a son-in-law or a disciple.

Several big shots just said a few polite words to him as a routine and then left him aside.

On the contrary, the second place winner, Yayuan, was only nineteen years old, handsome, and good at poetry. He was the most popular candidate in the entire banquet.

The chief examiner and the governor all liked him, and other dignitaries who had daughters or granddaughters of marriageable age also liked him and extended olive branches to him.

The rest of the young, unmarried candidates were also very welcome.

Teacher Qiao was envious.

Once again, I secretly hated myself for getting married too early.

However, he also had his opportunities.

He waited patiently until the examiner, Mr. Zhang, was about to leave, and then he immediately chased after him.

"Master, please stay! Your student Qiao has something important to tell you!"

Before Zhang Jinghong got into the sedan chair, he stopped him.

Zhang Jinghong was somewhat displeased. This scholar was so tactless.

Even a newly-minted Jinshi meant nothing to him, let alone a Juren.

The reason why he came to attend the Lu Ming Banquet was, on the one hand, because of his duty, and on the other hand, he also wanted to see if there were any promising talents who could contribute to the family's power.

As for ordinary candidates, they were able to say a few words to him at the Lu Ming Banquet, but that did not mean that after that banquet, they would still be qualified to cling to him endlessly by relying on the title of the teacher.

However, out of concern for his reputation, he stopped and asked indifferently:

"What do you want to say?"

Teacher Qiao did not dare to talk nonsense, and seized the opportunity to say:

"Master, I heard that the eldest son of the Jingnan Marquis's mansion has suffered from impotence. I happen to have a way to make Young Master Pei recover quickly."

These words immediately aroused Zhang Jinghong's interest.

Although he knew that the other party was trying to curry favor with him by taking advantage of this matter, he didn't mind giving the other party some benefits if he could really find a famous doctor.
