Chapter 2, Nobility and Aristocracy

This response was the tenth time Feng Qing'an had heard it, and he no longer held any expectations for this so-called system, as he had long been completely drained of them

His elder brother Feng Qingping's appearance is seven parts handsome, and combined with his current status as the only six-yuan top scholar in the newly established dynasty, the noble ladies of the capital must be going crazy vying for him

Should it be decompressed again

Under the brilliance of his elder brother Feng Qingping, Feng Qing'an did not even need to feign ignorance; as long as he did not utter anything too peculiar, even if he occasionally behaved like an adult and exhibited mature thinking, no one would find him abnormal

Congratulations

Now, no one takes him seriously anymore, having achieved the rank of scholar with a score of 6, the youngest top scholar under the age of 14, a brother born of the same mother, what does it matter if he is more intelligent than his peers

Yin was fiercely pinched by Feng Shouli at the tiger's mouth, and after slowly waking up, she stared blankly for a moment at Feng's father. The first thing she said was to confirm, but before Feng Shouli could respond, she heard the messenger of good news repeat it again.

There is no way around it; suddenly, dozens of acres of arable land have appeared. Even though Feng Fu is an honest and hardworking young farmer, he cannot manage so much land by himself with just two oxen and will have to seek help from others

Upon witnessing this scene, Feng Qing'an smacked his lips, unsure of what to say. Despite the fact that this family now resides in a new home and wears fine clothes, it is merely a recent development over the past year. Before his elder brother participated in the imperial examination, their family was just an ordinary household that managed to avoid hunger.

Due to the increasing amount of farmland at home, the father, who has been farming for half his life, even went to the county to buy two cows, fulfilling his long-held wish. Every day, he happily goes out, accompanied by a group of people to work the fields

Although his family is of humble means and does not match the status of certain nobles, being born into poverty and lacking any background may not necessarily be a disadvantage in the eyes of some aristocrats; rather, it can be seen as a noteworthy strength.

The Yin family, for the first time, was willing to go and buy some pork during a time that was neither a festival nor a New Year. Feng Qing'an, for the first time, tasted pork outside of the festive season, and it could be said that he was filled with tears of joy

These two ordinary citizens, who could hardly meet the prominent figures, could only accept the red envelopes with a mix of laughter and tears, after all, this individual had raised a scholar who achieved the highest honors with a score of six.

Especially after witnessing the various extraordinary abilities of his compatriot elder brother, this worthless system had long been cast aside by Feng Qing'an. Clinging tightly to his elder brother's thigh is far better than relying on this useless thing

Seeing this situation, it seemed that he would not answer himself and would just keep asking. Feng Qing'an, with no expectations, casually replied.

He awakened the wisdom of his past life at around the age of one, and by that time, his physical development had already entered the next stage, as he was unsteadily learning to walk. It was also on the same day that he discovered he actually had a system.

Feng Qing'an remembers that he had just grown his first milk teeth when he first heard the sound of decompression failure. Without any hesitation, he chose to decompress again, but without a doubt, it still resulted in a decompression failure

It was only after his elder brother Feng Qingping participated in the imperial examination that his family experienced a tremendous transformation

System files are being re-extracted ... Please wait!

Fortunately, a doctor who had been watching the commotion outside the Feng family home was pushed inside. The elderly man who had fainted, along with the young aunt, gradually regained consciousness. After all, they had fainted due to the excitement of the occasion, rather than any urgent medical condition

However, after waiting to participate in the imperial examination, passing the examination to become a xiucai, and then succeeding in becoming a juren, the threshold of his home was nearly trampled by matchmakers from ten miles and eight villages

Only these matchmakers come to the door; whenever a gentle breeze blows, one is sent away. If his elder brother had not achieved fame and fortune, and had established a marriage contract with someone he was in love with, he would not have said much about it either

He usually desires to indulge in some meat, but can only go to the village's wild pond to fish for shrimp. As for getting into the water, ha, since his birth, he has never allowed the water to reach his waist. He does not approach ponds that are even slightly deeper, and he avoids large lakes altogether.

Time and again, it is now the tenth time. At this point, Feng Qing'an has long lost any expectations for this worthless thing. Nearly ten years have been sufficient for him to recognize reality. And *illustrated* books

My son has achieved the highest honor in the imperial examination

Not to mention anything else, his elder brother has yet to marry, nor is he engaged. Before participating in the imperial examination, it was purely due to the family's poverty that no one looked upon him favorably

The commands of parents and the words of matchmakers are not to be taken lightly. Fortunately, his father, Feng Shouli, though honest and simple, is not foolish. As for his mother, the Yin family, she has been swayed by Feng Qing'an but is still able to hold her ground.

His elder brother, having achieved the top position in the county examination and the provincial examination, was awarded twenty taels of silver by the county, and as a result, the village allocated five mu of arable land to his family. Their previously frugal life suddenly became much more comfortable.

Just as the Yin family had just recovered, they heard a noisy and chaotic sound coming from the courtyard. It turned out that not only she had fainted from the immense surprise, but also her son's grandfather, who was her father-in-law, and a close aunt had also fainted.

Now that his elder brother has achieved fame and is on the verge of wealth and nobility, what nonsense is it to think of marrying into his family? How could the daughter of a wealthy landlord be worthy of climbing to his elder brother's heights? They should roll as far away as possible.

Ah!

It is ! ''

Trash!

Hearing the congratulatory words from the bearer of good news once again, Yin's eyelids flipped upwards. Seeing this, Feng hurriedly pinched the tiger's mouth among the crowd. After these two actions, Yin finally accepted the fact that her eldest son had achieved the highest honor in the imperial examination.

And the *illustrated* book requires decompression due to this system, and each decompression takes three hundred sixty days. As if that were not enough, what particularly infuriated Feng Qing was that after such a long wait, all that was returned was a message: File data error, would you like to decompress again

His elder brother, since the age of 3, was recognized as a prodigy by the surrounding villages. The teachers would personally come to speak with his parents about him attending school, and there was no need to pay any tuition fees. They even provided a meal at noon, primarily because his family was indeed very poor at that time

As he thought this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Feng Qing'an's delicate face. If his elder brother were to bring back a noble lady, well, his future days would be... Feng Qing'an envisioned his beautiful life ahead, but before he could think for a while longer, he was interrupted by a loud voice.

Everyone has it, there is plenty...

Feng Qing'an has already forgotten the excitement he felt at that time, but the disappointment from the system time and again has left a deeper impression.

Now, his elder brother has achieved the highest honor in the imperial examination at the age of six, and it is hard for Feng Qing'an to imagine what his family will become in the future, as his elder brother is not yet fourteen and there are too many possibilities ahead.

Come quickly, the old master of the Feng family has fainted, and the second aunt of the Feng family is about to faint as well

It is better to say that it is abnormal not to have any differences from ordinary people. A person born from the same womb, having been touched by the literary spirit of a top scholar, should be smarter than the average person

Feng Qing'an not only scolded the matchmaker, but also reasoned with his parents emotionally. After all, in Feng Qing'an's eyes, the daughter of a wealthy landlord was not worthy of his elder brother. However, if his parents did not share this view and agreed to the match, it would be of no use for Feng Qing'an to protest vehemently, even if his elder brother had achieved academic success.

At this moment, Feng Qing'an, who had completely become a transparent person, watched his family busily working. At his age, he felt he could not be of any help to them, so he could only silently observe as his mother, Mrs. Yin, forcefully stuffed a red envelope containing more than ten coins into the hands of the two distinguished individuals, whose expensive status was evident at a glance.

Feng Qing'an had long known through the discussions of others that these two individuals were, one, the local county magistrate, and the other, the prefect of Jiangyang Prefecture. However, at this moment, the overjoyed Yin family was not concerned about these matters; whether they accepted it or not, they insisted on pressing the red envelope into their hands

Once his elder brother passed the examination to become a scholar and subsequently achieved the status of a successful candidate, their family's life suddenly flourished and became exceptionally prosperous. The old house, originally made of earthen bricks with a thatched roof, was demolished and rebuilt into a residence of blue bricks and red tiles, featuring a courtyard with two entrances and two exits, which ranked among the notable homes in the ten-mile Fengjiagang, where several hundred households resided.

Congratulations to your esteemed household, Lord Feng Qingping

The messenger of good news awakened the Feng family, who were still immersed in joy, for the third time. Feng's father and a number of family members hurriedly distributed the prepared red envelopes to the visitors who came to congratulate them, and even mother Yin stepped forward to assist, as there were simply too many guests.
