The villain is invincible

Chapter 298
"After all, I can only contact the court through dark lines."

"If the people in the palace don't send me a letter, I can't contact there alone for non-emergency matters."

"But your master is quite different. He is the direct Master Ren. He must know exactly what happened in the capital."

Fine!Mai Fan nodded, now only his actions will not be too eye-catching.

Xue Jue's reason for external use is also quite reasonable.

His son came from the capital and took part in the rural examination, but the result was not satisfactory.

Because I was too frustrated, I wanted to ask my master how to go about the rest of the road.

As soon as the news spread, those students who originally planned to enroll in the Imperial College in Beijing also hesitated.

I heard that the courses taught there are somewhat different from the content of the Jinling Prefecture's provincial examination.

It is precisely because of the different learning styles in the north and the south that Mai Fan, who was very promising, fell into the sand this time.

This rumor was spread ten to ten times, and everyone was full of sympathy for Mai Fan.

Someone in the know saw that Xue Pan of the Xue family had a dejected look on his face, and went to his master's place overnight in a carriage to ask for advice.

Thinking that he still has Master Lin as a teacher, and Xue Pan's age is only fifteen years old, everyone regretted it from the beginning, and then it became a bit more ordinary again.

It's okay, who passed the scientific examination in one go?
Those children of officials and eunuchs are not everyone can live in one go.

Probably because of this kind of mentality, after Mai Fan left and Jinling Mansion released the good news of the provincial examination, everyone paid less attention to Xue Pan's results.

It was just that after the officer standing in front of the government office, beating the gongs and drums, and singing the list one by one, he heard an incredible name not long after, many people were stunned.

"Police, who were you talking about just now?"

"The third place in the provincial examination is Xue Pan?"

"Impossible! If he really got the third place in the exam, how could he..."

Wait, they didn't seem to show anything, did they?
Xue Pan of the Xue family just went to the teacher's place sadly.

Perhaps in the eyes of those who are good at studying, the third place is really bad. Could it be that they came here for the first place in the provincial examination?
People from various families who came to check their scores fell into silence. In fact, if they thought about it this way, they have different standards for test scores, and of course they will show differently.

Missing the top spot, of course, those who are stricter with themselves will not be able to bear it.

Thinking about Xue Pan's only fifteen years old...

Everyone has already given him a good reason.

Of course, although the Xue family sent their young master to Yangzhou, when the list was released, they must have sent their own people to check the results.

It's just that even the servants of the Xue family were deceived by the acting skills of their own master and young master. Originally, they came here just unwillingly for a cutscene. Who would have thought that their young master not only won, but also had a special ranking before the exam. !

The servant who was in charge of running errands originally thought that he had received a hard job, but when he arrived at Xue's residence, he would definitely not have a good face.

Who would have thought that not only did he see his own young master on the list at the beginning, but he could also follow the official messenger who announced the good news to report to Xue's mansion.

The servant didn't dare to delay any longer. After confirming Xue Pan's name, he ran home without hesitation.

My master thought that he was going to fail this time, but the family didn't prepare anything.

Regardless of whether the young master is here or not, always prepare the happy money!
So, the overjoyed servant rushed home, but Xue Jue, who had been waiting in the hall for a long time, was so nervous that he was about to die.

Although his son said that there were no omissions in the answer sheet, according to his judgment, he should be able to pass the exam.

But Xue Jue always felt that his son had misunderstood him.

You can see that the sons of officials and eunuchs around him are all in their twenties and thirties before they are elected. His son has only studied in the capital for three years, and he has to deal with those noble children. Up to lift people?
But the reality is so perfect, when Xue Jue heard that his servant had reported back, all the doucai enamel cups in his hand fell to the ground.

At this time, he wouldn't feel sorry for a cup, all that Xue Jue had left was to reward his servants and celebrate with the whole house.

"Reward! Reward! Reward!"

After these three shouts were over, the entire Xue residence took action.

In the Jinling Mansion, for three days in a row, it was full of celebrations like the Xue family's running water banquet.

The head of the Xue family spent a lot of money, not only throwing money everywhere, but also brought people to pray for his son, and built a big porridge shed.

Xue Jue held a grand banquet in Jinling Mansion, but Mai Fan, the real protagonist of the incident, entered Lin Ruhai's mansion directly in a blue carriage.

This Mr. Mai Fan who was named, asked about Mai Fan's article this time, and after reading his answer, he began to face up to his nominal student.

Lin Ruhai never thought that a simple recommendation from him would bring Mai Fan to where he is today.

Because of Mai Fan's answer, in his opinion, Zhongju is safe.

Originally also a young talent, Lin Ruhai, who looks like a flower, naturally loves talents.

At this time, he looked at Xue Pan with a better impression.

And what he said to the other party was much gentler: "Leave the letter first, stay in my mansion for a few more days, I will give you some homework in my spare time, and after the Imperial College starts, you can just return directly from me. "

"Now you can go to my study first, and if there are any books you like that you haven't seen, you can pick them out. It should be a gift from me, a gentleman, to you."

That's good!
But there is no rush, Mai Fan thanked Lin Ruhai, and immediately took out a thick stack of letters from the inner lining of his clothes.

These letters were sorted out by his father, and he didn't dare to fake the materials sent by others.

Some of them are the recent movements of officials and businessmen in the Jinling Mansion, and the other part are inquiries about the emperor's sudden offer of an olive branch.

These things are the main reasons why Mai Fan came here on purpose, and now that they have been handed over to Lin Ruhai, he can be regarded as having completed his task.

Both Mai Fan and Lin Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief, and then Lin Ruhai was in the mood to ask about another matter he was more concerned about.

"I don't know how comfortable Daiyu's life is at her grandmother's house?"

Mai Fan shook his head, he didn't add any details, he just judged the current situation of the Jia family from his own perspective.

"Mr. also knows what the main business of the student's family is. From what I know about Jia's family, this is a very poorly managed family just from the aspect of industry."
