In imperial examination novels, the male protagonists are extremely poor. From head to toe, there is only one choice to take the imperial examination, and there is only one way to take the examination and become an official. It is all a lot of effort, just to cultivate this single seedling! The male protagonist is also very awesome, just like a person who thinks too much about literacy and has to imitate what he says when he speaks. He learns now and puts it into practice!

Bad news: I'm in debt and failed three times. Shen Zhou: A bad start. The master asked Shen Zhou to go home and figure it out before going to school. He returned to school, but became a nightmare for his classmates. Family members, who knows, this person works hard for a while. The most annoying thing is that he is still on the list!
