 Chapter 37In the eighth year of Xiyuan Dynasty, Xia Chen took part in the provincial examination for the second time.

　He started studying with Mr. Meng when he was more than seven years old, and it is only more than eight years ago. Xia Chen used to think that Mr. Meng was just a scholar, but it was only after he won the imperial examination that he discovered that Mr. Meng was a real person and his fame was far away. There is more than one scholar, so there is still a lot to teach him.

　So Xia Chen continued to study with Mr. Meng. In the past few years, the teacher and the student got along well, and the relationship between the two families was also good. Senior Meng Mingjun no longer calls him Brother Yuanbao, but he calls him Brother Yuanbao. Under the instruction of Mr. Meng, Xia Chen simply became a disciple. It was not like other students in the school who just called him "sir" and studied for a few years, but a real apprenticeship. The ancients valued the relationship between master and apprentice, so when Xia Chen paid his respects, Mr. Meng was considered his half-father.

　This time he went to take the provincial examination, but Xia Chen still didn't have high hopes. The imperial examination was not as simple as written in novels. Xia Chen himself didn't actually have much talent. He just relied on his adult self-control and understanding. The large amount of knowledge accumulated in the information explosion society in his previous life made his path to the imperial examination a little smoother.

　Mr. Meng predicted to Xia Chen that even if he failed this time, he would still have a high chance of passing the test if he took another test or two. Xia Chen was young, so taking the test a few more times would not waste anything. If you are willing to continue to take the exam, then continue to study. If you are not willing to take the exam, it is a good way to make a living in a small county like Qingyang County by getting a job as a public official or simply opening a school.

　So Xia Chen took the exam with a calm mind, and then passed the exam with the last place on the list.

　Xia Chen: "..."

　The protagonist of time travel takes the exam for the Little Three Elements. Not only is it embarrassing to be ranked number one, but even the second and second prizes are rare. He has to be number one. Why is he always the last one when it's his turn? !

　This time, even Mr. Meng was a little dumbfounded. After asking around, he found out that the examiner who was presiding over the exam this year had changed. The style of Xia Chen's article happened to be what he liked, so even if it was lacking, he still recorded it in the end.

　Xia Chen thought that all his luck was probably spent on taking the exam. No wonder he won the lottery so badly.

　The last one also won the prize. Mr. Xia held a big banquet. Not only relatives came to congratulate him, but even the county magistrate, county magistrate and other parents and officials sent people to send congratulatory gifts. The Xia family was in a good situation.

　Some people even inquired about Xia Chen's relatives. Every three days, a matchmaker came to her door. Not only did she propose marriage to Xia Chen, but there were also two young men of the right age in the Xia family. The master's nephew was not good enough for him.

　Brother Dong is three years older than Xia Chen. In this era, he should have gotten married long ago. Even if he didn't get married, he should still talk about it. However, Xia Chen discovered that his two nephews were like a mudslide among straight men.

　Brother Dong: Wife? No, they are all soft and cannot box with me.

　Brother Nan: I don't want a wife! My father gave all the delicious food at home to my mother. I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law and come back to share the delicious food with me.
