Female supremacy: leading the whole family to change their family

Chapter 36 Innateness

Zeng Fan also knew that Master Li had high expectations for them, but she really couldn't make the list this time.

It would be a great luck to be able to make the list, but she knew that luck was not necessarily the only way to make the list.

Master Li sighed and said, "You are still young. If it doesn't work out, you can try next year. So you don't have to worry. Besides, it's not the last step yet. Maybe you can make the list."

Gu Yao and the others were also silent, and even drank several cups of tea and went to the toilet several times.

After a while, Gu Xiaoshu and Qian Xiumin's servants came over and smiled when they saw them: "Ladies, we just saw that you are all on the list, but Madam Zeng doesn't seem to be on the list. But maybe we saw it wrong."

Zeng Fan's eyes dimmed when he heard this: "I already knew this outcome. In fact, just like Master said, I will take the exam again next year."

Sure enough, after a while the good news came. Except for Zeng Fan, everyone else passed the exam, and Gu Yao even ranked ninth.

The others ranked in the teens or twenties, but that was good enough for Master Li.

She didn't expect that four students from their private school passed the examination and became scholars this year, which really excited her.

"Okay, okay, I knew you were the best. Zeng Fan, don't lose heart, keep going next year. I believe you can pass the exam next year."

Zeng Fan felt that he was just unlucky: "Master, I will work hard to pass the exam and will definitely not let the private school down.

Master Li immediately said, "How can you be a drag? As long as you can pass the exam, it's all good in my heart. Besides, you are still young and don't need to rush."

Ever since the government office reported that they had four scholars, all the neighbors came to congratulate them.

After all, there are four scholars here. Even the human traffickers are very happy. The price of this house will definitely increase in the future. After all, there are four scholars here, which is unique.

It was really profitable to rent the house to these scholars. They were very happy when they thought about getting rich.

He quickly sent a lot of delicious tea to Master Li and the others to express his gratitude for turning this courtyard into a golden house.

After all the people had left, Master Li said, "Let's go tomorrow. After you get the title of scholar, celebrate it. Then go to the county and get your scholar documents. Ayao, you still need to go to the county government every month to collect your subsidies."

Master Li did not expect that Gu Yao would perform so well in the exam and even pass the examination to become a student. It was truly amazing.

Gu Yao was very happy. Indeed, she had never expected that she would finally pass the exam and become a scholar. Her life would get better and better in the future.

"Yes, Master, I will."

Although the others did not have the certificate, they were already far ahead of others in terms of being able to pass the exam. They were scholars and did not kneel when meeting an official.

Moreover, their families can be exempt from taxes, and even scholars are respected by many people. They can also work as a minor official in the government. However, they cannot dig their own graves, after all, they still have to take the exam to move up.

Gu Xiaoshu was extremely excited. This was the first time she saw the government come to announce good news, and it really amazed her.

"Madam, you are so outstanding. You are the pride of our Gujia Village. From now on, we should call you Madam Scholar."

"Let's just call you the old name. Lady Scholar is just a title. I still have to take exams in the future. Besides, we are all family. There is no need to be so formal."

Gu Xiaoshu was very touched when she saw that Gu Yao was still the same to her as before.

She had heard before that some people looked down on others after passing the imperial examinations, but her wife was not like that. She had always been such an outstanding person.

The next day, Master Li asked them to pack up their things, check out of the room and then return home.

Originally, the human trafficker wanted to refund their rent, but Master Li would not ruin the reputation of her students, so there was no way she would refund the money.

Although Gu Yao and her family are daughters of ordinary families, they are by no means superficial.

They were very excited on the way back to the county town from the provincial capital, and didn't mind the bumpy road.

Even when they were robbed, they were very happy because they were scholars after all.

The people from the escort agency became even more respectful to them when they knew they had passed the imperial examination.

Even the money for escorting can be saved by half, so this is the power of a scholar. If you pass the imperial examination and become a juren or jinshi, you will be even more respected.

Gu Xiaoshu whispered at the side, "Madam, this scholar is just like this. Wouldn't it be even more amazing if he became a juren?"

"of course."

In Gu Yao's mind, if she passed the imperial examination and failed to pass the Jinshi examination, she would just become an official. Although it would be difficult for a juren to get promoted as an official, at least she could give her family more amulets.

Anyway, she wouldn't sit back and do nothing, and the existing shop brought them a lot of income every month.

When they arrived at the county town, Master Li took the four of them to the yamen to exchange their positions as scholars and clerks.

Looking at the document, Gu Yao sighed, this is the symbol of her identity, and this document will be her amulet in the future.

They got the scholar's documents and invited Master Li to dinner. Master Li protected them all the way. Gu Yao and the others were very touched. It can be said that they met a good master.

With a good teacher, things will go smoothly. Some teachers don't care how many students they get in the exam. If they can pass, then they can pass. If they can't, then forget it. Anyway, some scholars can earn more money by taking in more students.

Master Li is different. She values ​​quality over quantity, so she cherishes all her students.

She would escort every student to the scientific examination, for fear that they might encounter any problems during the examination.

"Master, thank you for your troubles over the years. This time, we were able to pass the examination and become scholars because of your teaching and contribution. Here, we would like to toast you."

Master Li was very moved by their words, and tears flowed down his face. "As long as you can have a promising future, I will be comforted. This time you really made me proud. Four scholars. You should know that it is rare for our county to have two scholars. It is already good. Just now, the county magistrate praised me very much and even gave me a plaque and money. You can divide the money. This is what you deserve."

"Master, this should belong to you. After all, you have worked hard and made great contributions."

None of them wanted to take it. It was a prize awarded by the county magistrate. If they took it all, it would be unfair to the teacher.

Master Li said with a straight face: "You guys take it. I am your master, how could I possibly take your money? This is your reward. I told you before that as long as you can pass the exam to become a scholar, the reward will be quite a lot. I even made a bet with Lao Niu that she would give me a few taels of silver."

Following your words, Master Li, Gu Yao and the others had no choice but to take it, thinking that they would do well in the provincial examination and make you proud.
