Chapter 369 Imperial Examination in Progress 7
Yuhang didn't care much about Yu Younian's family's plans. He just hoped that he could protect Yu's family. As for fame and fortune, Yuhang felt that being a scholar was enough. He had taken the imperial examination once before. Being an official was too tiring, and he wanted to give up his life.
Yu Wenhuai and his son still had great expectations for Yuhang. When they heard that their son (grandson) was unwilling to take the exam, they were immediately upset. You know, they had praised Yuhang to the sky in front of their clansmen some time ago. What should they do now that their son (grandson) is unwilling to take the exam?
Unlike Yu Wenhuai and his son, Yuhang's grandmother Liu and mother Wang were very happy when they heard that their son (grandson) didn't need to take the exam anymore and could stay at home with them in peace. But they didn't know that their happiness would be broken soon.
One day, Yuhang was reading at home when he heard a commotion outside. He went out to see a group of people surrounding Liu and Wang, pointing and talking about them, and saying some unpleasant things.
It turned out that some gossipy women in the village heard that Yuhang was unwilling to take the imperial examination again, so they said he was a useless waste, and mocked Liu and Wang for raising a useless person. It was a pity that Old Man Yu had boasted about his grandson everywhere. Liu and Wang were so angry that they trembled all over, but they didn't know how to refute.
Yuhang was furious when he saw this. He stepped forward, protected Liu and Wang behind him, and shouted at those gossipers, "What qualifications do you have to laugh at my family? It's my freedom to take the imperial examination or not. What does it have to do with you?"
Those gossipers were startled by Yuhang's momentum, but they quickly recovered and mocked him, "Oh, you are so amazing, right? If you have the ability, then go for the higher exam! But I heard that you were able to pass the exam this time because the grandson of the clan leader was sick, otherwise you would not have been able to pass. And I heard that when you were in school before, you always bullied the children in the clan school."
Yuhang looked at them coldly and said, "I will prove my worth with my actions. I don't need to rely on fame and fortune to prove it." After that, he turned around and went home with Liu and Wang.
Liu and Wang were also very angry after hearing this. After all, everyone knew that when they were in the clan school, that little brat Yu Younian took the lead in isolating his son (grandson), and when he saw that his son (grandson) was indifferent, he started to bully him. If his son (grandson) was not so strong, who knows how he would be bullied!
Yuhang felt a little sorry for seeing Liu and Wang being bullied, so she discussed with Qingrong whether they could continue to take the imperial examinations and become officials in this world. However, this feeling of being forced into business was not comfortable.
When Yu Wenhuai and his son heard that their son (grandson) was willing to continue to take the exam, they began to show off everywhere, saying how promising their son (grandson) was.
Yuhang felt helpless about this, but he didn't say much. He decided to prepare well for the imperial examination and make sure to pass the exam to become a juren or even a jinshi, so that those who laughed at him would shut up.
So, Yuhang began to study hard. Every day, apart from eating and sleeping, he read books and memorized them. (Of course, this was all for others to see.) His efforts were rewarded. His knowledge became better and better, and his self-confidence became stronger and stronger. Finally, the day of the imperial examination came. Yuhang walked into the examination room with full confidence. He answered the questions calmly and showed his level. After the exam, Yuhang felt that he had performed well and was relieved. Next, it was time to wait for the announcement of the results. Yu Wenhuai and his son looked forward to the announcement of the results every day. They couldn't wait to see the good news of Yuhang High School.
