What is the main plot of Jin Fan in The Scholars?

Jin Fan, the hero of the novel, is clumsy, poor, humble, resigned and sour on the surface. But in my heart, I love fame, pursue wealth, be full of servility and cowardice. From him, we can see the corruption of the imperial examination system and its poison to scholars.

The family is too poor to buy rice, and he has to borrow money everywhere to make up the travel expenses and take exams. He was beside himself with excitement when he suddenly heard the name of Juren. This is pathetic, pathetic and ridiculous. It's not that he is an idiot. When Jin Fan met landlords and gentry, he showed a flattering look and tried his best to win their support. When I arrived in Xiangshen Zhang, all I could think about was "I've heard so much about this old gentleman". "Fortunately, under the old gentleman's door, I am very fortunate." Try to please, full of servility.

Finally, Jin Fan, an omnipotent and pedantic person, soon became an official, mastering the political power and managing the people. From here, readers can also see the darkness of feudal officialdom.
