Sign in and get rich in farming
Chapter 214 My brother and cousin both won
"Hahaha~ Brother Swallow~" Tan Mengao had been eavesdropping openly with his ears perked up, but when he heard the call of Brother Swallow, he laughed so hard that the wine in his mouth sprayed out.
Tan Yanlin covered his forehead speechlessly. After thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and raised his hand to pat the naughty girl who was making a scene.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Brother Yan Zi, Brother Xiao Ma, and Brother Xiao Lang, aren't you closer to me than Brother Seven, Brother Nine, and Brother Eleven?" Yu Hongdou dodged Tan Yanlin's hand and tilted her head to pretend to be cute to kill them.
"Cough cough~" Little wolf brother Tan Langxiu also choked.
"It was my grandfather who started the bad trend." Tan Yanlin glanced at Emperor An He helplessly.
"It's none of my business. Your grandfather called you that first." An Hedi distanced himself from the matter.
Although his elder brother was a commoner, he was still a farmer and scholar, but he was very troubled by the issue of naming.
There are many children and grandchildren in the family, so I just named them after animals. But children will eventually have to go out and meet people, so they can’t be called bear or horse.
So the old man would decide what the little animal was called, and then Emperor An He and his sworn brother would give it a more literary name.
No matter what the old man was called, he just decided to use that name. Over time, An Hedi and the second brother would also follow suit and call him that in a mischievous way.
So that's what it is. Yu Hongdou suddenly realized. She thought Xiao Ma, Xiao Lang and Xiao Yanzi were nicknames given to them by Emperor An He.
It turns out that the animal is chosen first and then named.
Yu Hongdou looked at the three little animal brothers with a smile, and opened her mouth to call them again, but the quick-eyed and quick-handed Tan Langxiu stuffed a mouthful of wolf peach mixed with candy into her mouth.
Yu Song looked at his sister with her mouth stuffed full and grinned. This silly girl is so naive and loves to flirt.
Early the next morning, Tan Mengao, with a group of people who appeared out of nowhere, helped Emperor An He onto the carriage and quietly left Pingjin.
At the same time, Yu Hongdou, Tan Langxu and Tan Yanlin also left from the main gate of the house.
The three of them wanted to go to the government office to see the list.
Originally, Changhe and Qingzhu were the ones who went, but Yu Hongdou had never seen such a lively scene, so she wanted to see it with her own eyes and visit the Yuwangzhai branch at the same time.
The auspicious day for opening the business is tomorrow.
Although everything is fine, as a boss who is still in the local area, it seems a bit disrespectful if I don't encourage my guys' enthusiasm for work.
"Although Brother Yu has only followed Master Shang for a few years, his progress is very encouraging. He should be on the list this time. The top 20 are difficult, but he will definitely be able to get before 50." Tan Yanlin was full of admiration for the Yu family's learning ability and speed.
In five years, a young boy who could only be considered literate had achieved the position of a juren.
If those old scholars who have been taking the imperial examinations all their lives knew about this, they would probably go crazy with jealousy!
It was still early for Yu Hongdou to set out, but there were already a lot of people queuing up in front of the list.
Yu Hongdou told Changhe to keep the carriage some distance from the crowd. Changhe agreed and quickly found a place where he could stop the carriage from where he could see the list without causing public outrage.
As soon as the carriage stabilized, Yu Hongdou couldn't wait to lift the curtain to look at the list.
"Why are you in such a hurry? Usually the results of the provincial examinations are announced when the sun rises, which symbolizes vitality and a bright future."
Tan Yanlin took out a small copper teapot from under the small table in the carriage and calmly persuaded Yu Hongdou, who was stretching her neck.
Tan Langxuan looked at his younger brother, then looked at Yu Hongdou who was glaring at his younger brother, and silently took the teapot to pour tea for them.
"I thought you wanted to see the excitement of everyone exploring the list." Tan Yanlin spread his hands, imitating Yu Hongdou's behavior yesterday.
Yu Hongdou turned her head away and didn't look at him.
Changhe, who wanted to ask his master whether to buy some food, listened to the whole thing and tried hard not to laugh.
When the sun rose high in the sky, runners from the yamen finally came to post notices in the distance.
At this time, the front, back, left and right of the carriage were already filled with people. Yu Hongdou also half-lowered the curtain and watched the fun from behind Tan Langxiu and Tan Yanlin.
The noisy crowd made Yu Hongdou rub her hands excitedly. She immediately looked at the list that had not been posted yet. When she saw the first name "Pan Bao", she couldn't help but clench her fists and punch them downwards.
Then he kept looking back, but it was not in the top five, not in the top ten, not in the top twenty.
When Yu Hongdou saw "Yu Song" at the 21st position, he couldn't help but jumped up.
"Ouch!" Yu Hongdou was so happy that she forgot she was in a carriage. With this jump, she actually jumped up and down.
"Hahaha! My brother and my cousin both passed the exam! They both became juren! My brother is so awesome!" Yu Hongdou ignored her headache and turned around in circles on the spot like a little crazy woman.
Tan Yanlin and his brother looked at each other and thought, well, it seems that his brother is more important.
The crowd had not yet dispersed, and leaving now would probably alarm a lot of people. Yu Hongdou didn't want to anger everyone, so she waited patiently and took another look at the list. As a result, she saw Peng Qi's name on the second to last list.
"This guy is quite lucky." Yu Hongdou curled her lips and muttered unhappily.
"What?" Tan Yanlin was also looking at the list. These people might become his colleagues or even his superiors in the future, so there would be no harm in keeping a note of them.
"The one from the Peng family wanted to take my cousin to the riverside for a midnight snack right after the exam." Yu Hongdou originally had a good impression of Peng Qi. After all, Peng Qi had explained it clearly when he gave the black stone and did not deny it.
However, when she heard the conversation between her brother and her cousin, or rather, her brother's words educating her cousin, Yu Hongdou's impression of this person plummeted.
"This is nothing. Those so-called literati in the capital are even more disgusting." Tan Yanlin seemed to have thought of something and looked disgusted.
"?" Yu Hongdou was a little curious, but more importantly, she wanted to help her brother and cousin avoid the trap.
"This is not something a little girl should know. When you go to the capital in the future, you must keep your eyes open and don't associate with just anyone." Tan Yanlin warned the little girl while looking at her still somewhat confused eyes.
She seemed smart, but was actually naive and took human nature for granted. The father and son of the Yu family protected her very well and did not let her see how vicious people in this world could be.
"Last year, the eldest daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was playing the touching game with her younger sisters. She touched a naked man and then committed suicide after returning home." Tan Langxu knew what his brother was talking about and followed suit.
"Huh? That man is a royal relative?" Yu Hongdou looked at the two brothers in surprise.
Just now An Hedi Ke said that we should be kind to women and children. Even if this young lady was framed by someone, there is no need for her to marry him, right?
In other words, this person broke into the backyard and behaved pervertedly in front of a group of young ladies, but he was not beaten to death. He must be an important person, right?
"No, that man is a farmhand who cleans the pond mud." Tan Langxiu shook his head.
"..."Yu Hongdou was speechless.
Tan Yanlin added: "He was a farmhand with syphilis."
