"This is the benefit of being an official in the Imperial College. Even the eighth- and ninth-grade officials at the bottom can accumulate connections."
"It would be great if I were a lecturer at a women's school. With Shang Jinglan's help, I can earn fifty taels of silver a year."
"It's better to be a lecturer in a female school. It's the same lecturer, but only the family members of the female students came to give gifts."
The lecturers were sitting nearby chatting, and their words were filled with envy of Pan Xiaoxian.
There is no way, who makes the male students of the Imperial College destined to become officials. The daughter of a high-ranking official wants to become a female official. Currently, the only way is to go to the female academy.
Of course the parents of the female students have to come and visit the lecturer Pan Xiaoxian.
Pan Xiaoxian was surrounded by a group of young officials, each of whom had a higher official position than him, and he couldn't help but feel excited.
Pan Xiaoxian thought to himself: "No wonder all the officials are trying to get an official position in the Imperial College. They have more money and less work, and they can get to know senior officials by virtue of their status as lecturers."
Pan Xiaoxian lost his identity as a teacher and had no chance to meet senior officials in his life.
The relationship between the young official and his elder sister was very good. At noon, he took Pan Xiaoxian to the best restaurant in Jinling for dinner, and even invited Pan Xiaoxian to the table.
Pan Xiaoxian waved his hand quickly: "It's against the rules. I'm the lowest grade. How dare I sit at the top in front of all the high officials."
A young official said: "Today is a special day. There is no relationship between superiors and subordinates. We don't care about the grade of officials. There is only a teacher-student relationship between teachers and students."
Pan Xiaoxian couldn't resist these young officials, so he could only sit in the upper seat. The whole meal was extremely tense.
The young officials had to go back to work and did not drink at noon. They kept coming over with tea to offer tea.
Pan Xiaoxian's face was flushed, and he said polite words, thinking that he would never move from the Imperial College to his home in this life.
An official position at the Central Party School is better.
By the time Pan Xiaoxian had eaten at noon, he had a big belly. He was full of water rather than stuffed with food.
His stomach was full of tea offered by the young official.
It wasn't until the doors were about to open in the afternoon and today's exams were over that the young officials left one by one and stopped waiting anxiously at the door.
As the gate of Gongyuan opened, the female student walked out from the west door.
Before Pan Xiaoxian walked over to ask about the situation, the female students ran to the side one by one and started chattering.
"The teacher is so awesome. I got a lot of questions right."
"I've seen most of the questions in this exam in my usual exam papers."
"It's hard for others to say, but Sister Zhao Xiangxiang, Chen Yuanyuan, and Shang Jinglan will definitely be among the top ten."
Pan Xiaoxian let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the female student mentioned the contents of the major and minor exams. She had already completed many questions.
The anxiety on Pan Xiaoxian's face softened a lot, and he was finally in the mood to sit on the chair. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The major and minor exams will last for two days. You can't be careless. You must check your answers more often." Is there any more?"
The female student kept nodding her head, completely convinced by Pan Xiaoxian.
It would be extraordinary for an ordinary lecturer to be able to win one question, but Pan Xiaoxian was able to win most of the questions. He also greatly improved the female students' ability to answer questions by constantly brushing the questions.
Pan Xiaoxian returned with a group of female students. He had a leadership temperament and was even more envied by other lecturers.
The students in the Imperial College are the most difficult to discipline. They don't dare to beat or scold them. It's fine if the lecturers don't get punished by the students.
Other lecturers never dared to think about Pan Xiaoxian's scene today. It was obvious that all the female students were convinced by him.
The lecturers couldn't help but sigh.
“It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other.”
After three days of exams, the first exam for a female student was finally over.
Pan Xiaoxian won most of the test questions, but he still felt uncertain and anxiously waited for the announcement of the ranking.
He just won most of the test questions, and Wu Gui already knew the answers to all the test questions in advance.
Finally, on the day after the major and minor exams, the rankings finally came out and were posted on the gold list at the entrance of the Imperial College.
Many senior officials found excuses not to go to the Yamen today and came specifically to see their daughters' rankings. They were even more nervous than Pan Xiaoxian.
After all, it is related to his daughter's future.
Pan Xiaoxian lived diagonally across from the Imperial College. He took Zhao Xiangxiang out of the house. He came out very early, and the door was still crowded with people.
"Clang!"
As two officials rang the gong, Gu Donglin walked over wearing a blue official uniform.
The crowd moved out of the way.
Gu Donglin walked inside, took out two pieces of red paper, and pasted them on the gold list.
The first piece of red paper was for the rankings outside the top ten. It was posted and attracted many people's attention.
"No way, there is actually a female student who got into the top 100."
"Not just the top 100, you see there are female students in the top 50."
"Look for Chen Yuanyuan's name quickly. With his intelligence, he should be able to get into the top twenty."
Pan Xiaoxian's mood became extremely tense, and he quickly squeezed through and got to the front.
Pan Xiaoxian checked the rankings on the first piece of red paper. Before he finished reading, the top ten red papers were posted.
It caused an exclamation.
"Oh my God! Chen Yuanyuan is actually number one."
"Not only is Chen Yuanyuan the first, but the second among the top three is Shang Jinglan."
"Look, the third place is Zhao Xiangxiang."
The names of the top ten were announced, causing a sensation.
Everyone looked at the red paper on the gold list and showed shocked expressions. They couldn't believe that the Imperial College had gathered many top ten people in the province, and there were more than ten people in the first place in the province.
Some female students actually got into the top ten.
He still ranked first, second, and third, and the highest ranking among male students was still fourth.
So shameful.
The surprise was so great that Pan Xiaoxian's mood went up and down, just like riding a roller coaster before. Suddenly he felt a little dizzy and staggered back a few steps.
The female students gathered around, surrounded Pan Xiaoxian in the middle, and cheered in surprise.
"Great, we can become officials."
"Hehe, from now on we will no longer be female students, we should be female officials."
"This is all the credit of the teacher. If the teacher did not create the way to solve the questions, we would not be able to become female officers."
The senior official looked at Pan Xiaoxian surrounded by his daughters, their snow-white skin touching him, and it was rare that he did not show any dissatisfaction.
This is the treatment Pan Xiaoxian deserves.
The senior official recognized his daughter's teacher Pan Xiaoxian from the bottom of his heart.
Zhao Xiangxiang stood next to Pan Xiaoxian and burst into tears: "My efforts have not been in vain. I no longer have to worry about being betrayed by my father."
Zhao Xiangxiang knew how shameless her father was. Even though he spent five hundred taels of silver to sever the relationship, he might still be sold.
It's different now.
Zhao Xiangxiang is already a ninth-grade female official, and she doesn't have to worry about her father coming to find her and sell her again.
Pan Xiaoxian recovered from the extreme surprise and became happy when he saw Zhao Xiangxiang crying next to him: "Celebrate well tonight."
Zhao Xiangxiang burst out laughing, rolled her eyes at the anxious Pan Xiaoxian, and whispered: "Tonight, I want you to taste the power of Guanyin sitting in the lotus position."
