In Ji'an Prefecture, people who can become scholars usually step into the ranks of juren with almost half a foot. In contrast, although Yichun Prefecture admitted dozens of scholars every few days, when they really entered the provincial examination, they were almost wiped out every year, and most of the juren quotas were occupied by Ji'an's examination.

The situation here in Zhejiang is roughly the same. Although the scholars in Hangzhou did not cover the sky with one hand, the other several prefectures were also a place with a strong literary style and did not allow Hangzhou prefecture, it would be difficult for scholars in Ningbo prefecture to make their debut in the provincial examination.

Just like the provincial examination in the previous subject, a total of 122 people were admitted, but in the end, more than 30 scholars in Hangzhou were admitted. In addition, Jiaxing, Huzhou, Hengzhou, Shaoxing and other prefectures won more than 70 places, and the remaining seven or eight prefectures were only a dozen high school students.

No wonder my third uncle doesn’t look down on scholars in Ningbo very much, and it’s not worth it. This is just like later generations. Some areas go to universities with 600 points, while others are 400 points. Unfortunately, Ye Chunqiu belongs to the 400 points region. It seems that scholars can get their fame easily, but they are inevitably despised.

After the third uncle said that, he paused before saying, "Okay, let's do it. You can live first and prepare for the exam for a long time."

Ye Jingwei was so proud that he led Ye Chunqiu to retreat.

Ye Chunqiu was quite depressed. He knew that he would mention moving out at this time. His father would definitely not agree, so he simply didn't say anything. He lived here, but it was all for the sake of the relatives of this clan. It was strange to think about it, just like a great big man in this clan. Everyone should focus on this place. Who cares about you and your relatives when you are full?

………………………………………

In the back hall, the third uncle's cough became even worse.

The clan's uncle was busy pounding his back and said, "Dad, to be honest, they don't want to live, and their son still wants it. Ye Jing... Haha... And that spring and autumn, my son has never seen such a naughty person. Even such a person can even become a scholar, which is eye-opening. No wonder others say that the scholars in Ningbo are not as good as the children in Hangzhou. What luck has the Ye family in Hexi now passed away and won another scholar. Although they are in remote places, they are equally good. It is easier to take the exam for fame and fortune."

He said in a nagging manner, looking very resentful: "The most hateful thing is that Chunqiu beat Chengcai and is still crying with his mother. How can I not feel sorry for my father? If I ask me to send it away, I have to keep them. Wouldn't their tails be raised to the sky? Those who come from Hexi have no tutors and stay at home. My son is afraid that they will cause trouble again. "

The third uncle said angrily: "Sir, are you so ignorant?"

After hearing the third uncle's words, the clan uncle became busy and softened: "Dad, I...I don't mean to ignore the affection of relatives, just...just..."

"Relative?" The third uncle said coldly, "I think you are a stupid student. You have nothing to do with your relatives. What do you think I am doing this? You are self-deprecating? Humph, the people of the Ye family in Hexi, look at their poor appearance. My father has long said that it is a very bad place. They come to the door, and I still think they have ruined our luck. But there is no way. You must be sure to win the provincial examination this year, but think about it, next year, next year will be the imperial examination. If you are lucky enough to pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, then you will be an official. If you are lucky enough to enter the Hanlin area, you will have to go to the six ministries to observe politics. When the time comes, you have an official position, what is the most important thing?

?Of course, we cannot leave a handle. If we are known to our Ye family, we look down on the poor in Hexi, and they will rather live outside when they take the exam in Hangzhou. Then someone will inevitably make a fuss about this. You are just thinking about the present, but your eyes should look far away. When you were a father, you were also selected by the Ministry of Personnel. You know how terrible the struggle in this officialdom is. Dad is planning for you. You are different from them. This time you studied behind closed doors for a few years and have read the articles you have done. I have great hope for this subject, so you must be more careful and never let people talk. This kind of relationship, no matter whether you like it or not, at least you have to do beautifully on the surface."

The clan's uncle seemed to be obedient to the teachings and quickly said yes. After thinking about it, he thought it was very reasonable.

………………………………………

Since he beat Ye Chengcai, no one has arrived at the guest room where Ye Chunqiu and his son lived.

The Ye family only thinks they are air.

This is also good. Ye Chunqiu is happy, but Ye Jing has to pay homage to his third uncle.

However, although I was very attentive to go, I was more disappointed when I came back. Many times, my third uncle refused to come out to see him, and just said that he was in a bad state.

Two days later, someone finally came there, saying that he invited Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu to have a common meal.

I stayed here for four or five days. This was the first time that the third uncle invited the Ye family's father and son to have dinner. Ye Jing attached great importance to this matter and repeatedly asked Ye Chunqiu to wear new clothes. The father and son arrived at the dining room while the moonlight. The third uncle had already sat high, and the clan uncle sat on the other side. As for other female relatives, they were not qualified to serve the table. To some extent, this was just a small family dinner. It was said that there was a clan uncle here, but for some reason he didn't come.

Ye Jing hurriedly saluted the third uncle and his clan uncle, and Ye Chunqiu followed suit, and then he went to the table.

Ye Chunqiu is a casual person. Although he doesn't like them, it doesn't matter. He just needs to have something to eat and feast on his own. As for you, just be happy.

But when the maid served the dishes, Ye Chunqiu was a little surprised. This is a bit rare. Could it be that the Ming Dynasty also had official standards? By the way, treating guests to dinner, is that so?

The third uncle just stroked his beard and said with a smile: "It's just a common meal. Come on, come on... come on, sit on, don't be polite, you're all a family."

Ye Jing hurriedly sat down, but Ye Chunqiu was winking. He was a very calm person, but when he encountered such treatment, he just wanted to complain. Too hell, even if farmers were hospitalized, it would not be so simple.

Well, one stir-fried radish, one leek, and one scallion tofu soup, and one meat dish, stir-fried vegetables...shredded pork.

The third uncle seemed to see the difference in Ye Chunqiu's face, but he still smiled: "Chunqiu, isn't this food suitable for your appetite?"

Before Chunqiu's answer, Ye Jing was afraid that his son would talk nonsense, so he hurriedly continued: "San Uncle, Chunqiu is used to being simple in daily life. This food is already very rare. It is all the dishes he likes to eat. Chunqiu, don't you?"
