Chapter 301 Don’t Want to Help
Although Qin Liuse's younger brother is not yet twenty years old, he is already sixteen years old.
As the only male in the Qin family, Qin Liuse's father poured all the resources he could into him, and the teachers he hired since he was a child were all the most famous in the local area.
They were counting on this only child to become successful and get rid of the money-minded stink of some businessmen in their Qin family.
Although the word "tongshi" is included in the name of today's tongshi, it does not mean that only young children can participate.
It includes three stages: county examination, prefectural examination and academy examination. If you pass these three stages of examinations, you can become a scholar.
Although scholars were at the lowest level, once they became scholars, they were highly respected in the county. They did not have to kneel or salute when meeting the county magistrate and had a high status.
After obtaining the title of scholar, one can then take part in the provincial examination.
After that, you will become a Juren. Once you become a Juren, you can go to the capital to take the exam and participate in the joint examination.
After passing the examination, one is considered a Jinshi. After becoming a Jinshi, one can take part in the palace examination, which makes one the best among the best.
Compete for the title of No. 1 or No. 2 in the imperial examination. No matter which one you get, it would be a great success.
However, the Qin family did not have such high expectations for their son. They only hoped that he could become a scholar or a juren.
But after reading the books of sages for more than ten years, Qin Liuse still didn't know what was wrong with his younger brother.
Now he is not even a scholar. He has passed only one of the three levels of the child examination. He has failed the last two levels no matter how hard he tries.
So now, at the age of sixteen, my younger brother is still just a quasi-scholar.
The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed and this month, which is September, the results of the provincial examinations in the capital have been posted.
The place where the results were announced in the city was crowded with people. Some went there to check whether they had achieved merit, while others went to choose a good husband from the list.
Now that the news that Qin Liuse had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, and had been promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, spread back to her hometown, her family members came up with the idea of letting her use her power or curry favor with Emperor Yongjia.
In the eyes of her family, this was just a matter of moving her fingers and whispering in the emperor's ear. With just a casual remark from Emperor Yongjia, it would be easy for her brother to find an official position in his hometown.
Qin Liuse looked at the letter and found it funny. Her father seemed to have forgotten that she was now the daughter of Qin Boyuan. If she openly begged for mercy like this and asked Emperor Yongjia to be lenient, how could she explain her relationship with her hometown to Emperor Yongjia?
Qin Liuse sneered. Her father really didn't care about her daughter. He would not consider her from her perspective, but only care about the family affairs and then plot against her.
Even though she was the eldest daughter of the original wife, in Aye's eyes, she was far less important than the concubine who gave birth to a son with a penis.
When Aye wanted to send her to the capital, he tried to persuade her in every possible way.
Qin Liuse didn't want to come at first, but her father said something very harsh, saying that if she didn't come, he would treat her as if she didn't exist as his daughter.
At that time, Qin Liuse was also soft-hearted. She had never experienced rebirth and didn't know what kind of person her father was, so she was forced to come to the capital.
Now that I have lived my life again, I have finally understood clearly that the reason why Aye treated me like that was because of a deal he had with Qin Boyuan.
And she was the object that was traded in exchange for benefits.
At that time, she was considered a gift to the old emperor.
Now that she has been promoted, she wants to speak sweetly and acknowledge her as her daughter, calling her "Imperial Noble Consort".
Qin Liuse read the letter, and when he reached the end, his brows were tightly furrowed.
But at this time, the sound of a child crying was heard from the other side.
The little princess began to cry and babbled. The wet nurse coaxed her, asked her if she was hungry, and picked her up from the crib.
Qin Liuse folded the letter, put it on the table, and walked to the west room to read it.
The little princess started crying, and the little prince, who was originally sleeping, also started crying because of his sister's noise.
When Qin Liuse walked over, another wet nurse followed and started feeding the little prince.
Qin Liuse quickly instructed people to bring in the washed clothes and trousers that were hung outside to dry, so that the little prince and princess could change them later.
After all this trouble, I returned to the east room and sat down again. I picked up the letter and stood up to read it. It was already necessary to light a candle.
Qin Liuse opened another letter by candlelight, which was written to her by her mother.
My mother has always respected my father, so between the lines, she was also advising Qin Liuse that if he could help, he should help his younger brother, which is also a sign of brotherly love and respect.
However, her mother was aware of the awkwardness of her current position and knew that she was no longer nominally the daughter of their Qin family.
So in the letter, I also told Qin Liuse that if she had any difficulties, there was nothing I could do and I only hoped that she would protect herself first.
Although her mother said so, Qin Liuse seemed to have been able to see her position at home. Naturally, she would be scolded by her father-in-law, or cry and ask her father-in-law to understand her.
Qin Liuse often felt that her mother's position as mistress was not a happy one at all.
Qin Liuse also told her A'niang many times in the letters she wrote to her mother that she should not be bullied by her aunt at home, especially now that Qin Liuse was not by her side and there was no one to support her, so she could only rely on herself.
Qin Liuse knew without thinking that now that she was no longer in the family, the aunt who gave birth to her younger brother would naturally be very proud.
However, fortunately, her position in this imperial city is not low.
She was Zhaoyi before and is now Imperial Noble Consort, so A’niang’s situation would not be so bad.
Qin Liuse did not take this for granted, because Qin Liuse was not without spies at home.
In addition to frequently communicating with A Niang, there was also Qin Liuse's friend among the maids in the house. Qin Liuse was worried at the time, so he asked her to write to him often.
The maid was illiterate and didn't know how to write letters, so Qin Liuse asked her to go to the market to find blind masters to write letters. Qin Liuse would pay her silver and other money every year.
Qin Liuse also specially picked a trustworthy maid, so when the maid sometimes had to go home, she would have time to go out and send her a letter.
In addition to this maid, Qin Liuse also spent a lot of money to get in touch with the neighbors across the street and asked them to pass on messages to him from time to time.
So although Qin Liuse was far away from home, he knew the situation at home very well.
If that aunt dares to bully her mother, Qin Liuse will naturally find a way to make her pay.
However, Qin Liuse naturally didn't want to help his brother as mentioned in the letter.
