The villain is invincible

Chapter 273

Mai Fan talked a lot, and when the words fell, he found his father was shocked, and it took him a long time to react after standing behind the desk.

"You, you have thought about it for a long time... It's just my son, the road to the imperial examination is very difficult. Even after three years, you haven't passed the township examination or the hospital examination. Called a young talent..."

"If it really doesn't work, my son shouldn't take it too seriously..."

"The Hanlin Academy you want to study in, I will try to find a way for you."

"Also, you have been studying hard in the academy, why did you suddenly think of asking your sister?"

Mai Fan has a serious face, expressing his current worry: "Father, although the monks have left together, their words are really too weird."

"Even if people in our family have beaten these servants, we can't guarantee that they won't be known afterwards."

"This kind of reputation is really not a good thing for my sister."

"The reason my son is so anxious to get some grades in the scientific examination is to prevent this speech from reaching the ears of people who shouldn't hear it."

"Father, does the Zhen family here in Jinling know?"

When this family was suddenly mentioned, Xue Jue couldn't help but tremble. He looked at Mai Fan tentatively: "What did you hear? About this Zhen family?"

Mai Fan sighed: "There is a branch of the Zhen family studying here in Qingsong Academy, and we can see many clues from the behavior of that family."

"Our family possesses wealth beyond the reach of others, and we are inextricably linked with the old noble family."

"But the more this is the case, the easier it is for the people in the family to miss."

"I'm a man, if I can't do anything about it, I'm afraid they're going to set their minds on our sister."

"I heard that the favored concubine Zhen Gui gave birth to a son, and the Zhen family will devote all their efforts to him."

"And if my younger sister has a precious fate, and then relies on the thousands of wealth of the Xue family..."

"I'm really afraid. I'm afraid that my sister has been wronged. The girl from the Xue family who is supposed to be a noble girl is going to be a concubine and slave for others."

With just a few words, Xue Jue's heart felt uncomfortable.

"I'll see who dares!" Because of these few words, Xue Jue made the final decision: "I already know about this."

"Now you just need to prepare for the exam with peace of mind!"

"As the father and the head of the family, your sister's affairs should be dealt with by me, the head of the family."

"Don't be too pressured. Don't worry about this matter. It must not be spread."

That's it!
Mai Fan showed a reassuring smile, said goodbye to Xue Jue, then returned to his yard, and continued to study hard.

But after he left, his father, Xue Jue, sat in front of the desk and meditated for a long time.

Finally, he took out a letter from the drawer, together with the contents of the belt, lit it on the candle, threw it into the brazier and burned it completely.

This is a private letter between the head of the Zhen family and him, and it took him only a few days to get it.

Originally, he was deeply moved by the bright future described in the letter.

But after what happened today, Xue Jue felt that he should be more cautious, think about it for a while, and then give the other party a clear answer.

As for when will this period be extended?
Xue Jue thinks it will be after Mai Fan's boy trial is over.

As long as Mai Fan can successfully pass the first two of the three tests of the scholar test and obtain the title of Tongsheng, he does not need to make any substantive promises to the Zhen family, and bind the future of the Xue family to a family of foreign relatives body.

As long as their Xue family can have someone who can stand up, he will still be the Ziwei Sheren who does his duty for the emperor.

After finishing all this, Xue Jue picked up his pen again, and wrote in a special letter stroke by stroke the people or things he had dealt with in the process of doing business in Jinling, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. superior.

When he sealed it up, as usual, he was sent to the pigeon house in the backyard, and a special pigeon breeder tied it to a special carrier pigeon, and he completed half a month or so. The task of delivering letters to the capital will be sent in one month.

It was precisely because of Xue Jue's move that the people in charge of taking care of him in the capital were relieved.

He may not know that the letter sent from the palace by the Zhen family has actually been read by people from both parties.

One is of course the current Zhen family's most reliable backer, His Majesty the Emperor, and the other is His Royal Highness the fourth prince who has the deepest thoughts and never shows his face during the day.

These two parties, no matter which side they are on, are not something the Xue family can fight against.

It is precisely because of the Xue family's honesty that they never responded that Xue Jue left a good impression of being willing to do things and being loyal in the eyes of His Majesty the Emperor and the competitors of the Zhen family.

Of course, there are so many people involved behind this incident, Xue Jue, who is far away in Jinling, has no way of knowing.

Now that he has resumed his previous pace, the rest is to worry about his son Xue Pan's first exam.

The first level of the boy's test is the county test.

The county examination in Jinling City starts in February every year.

The first exam will take five consecutive exams. Although the time for each exam will not be too long, the weather in February is still the end of winter, and the wind is biting.

For this exam, the Xue family started preparing as early as the middle of last month.

They first followed the government's notice to find out who the county magistrate was in charge of and the instructors of the Confucianism Department supervised the examination.

You signed up for Xue Pan according to the examination period (announcement) announced by the county office.The registration place was in the ceremony room of the county government office, and Xue Panren personally filled out the personal confession, mutual bond and bond.

What is a personal confession?It is a personal resume.

His name, age, place of origin, physique, and facial features.At the same time, fill in the life and death history of great-grandparents, grandparents, and parents for three generations. The adoptive person must also write the three generations of his biological parents to be considered qualified.

As for the mutual knot, Xue Pan was more cautious in doing it.

Because this requires candidates to take five people who are taking the same exam, and write a five-child mutual insurance policy, and five people who cheat will sit together.

If he just passed the test but not good character, Mai Fan might be dragged down to death before he passed the test.

Therefore, he went from the academy to Xue's house as a partner, but after checking and checking, it was confirmed that everyone came here for the exam, so the five of them exhorted each other and formed this companionship.
As for the most difficult recognizance for ordinary people, it is to ask the county clerk to give a guarantee, which is called "guarantee".Guarantee that he does not pretend to be a fake identity, does not hide in funerals, does not have a substitute, does not use a false name, and guarantees that he is innocent, that he is not the descendant of a prostitute, and he has not committed any crimes.

For the Xue family, it was the easiest.
