The official road of the farmer

The college examination will take three days, divided into two sessions.

And during these three days, candidates are not allowed to leave the small room, which means that during these three days, eating, drinking and drinking must be done in the small room.

Ye Junshu thinks about the scene, and deeply feels that it is not terrible to study hard for ten years, but the most terrible thing is the period of the exam... And after that, there will be the provincial exam... Well, it is hard to be a master. .

Ye Junshu looked around. On the side of the wall was a bed with two or three planks of wood on two benches, and a thin folded quilt on top. The width of the plank bed probably wasn't enough for Ye Junshu to turn over.And the length is not too long. According to Ye Junshu's visual inspection, he might have to curl up slightly.

Next to the bed is a square table and an oil lamp. For the next three days, I will be doing questions on it.

There was also a toilet in the corner of the room, but luckily it had a lid, otherwise, Ye Junshu seriously doubted whether he could bear it.

There is a skylight above the small room, which is open. On the side of the corridor, there is also a window that is being opened by a wooden pole at this time, facing the small room on the opposite side.

The opposite door is an unknown candidate, and I don't know where the senior brother and the others are assigned.

Ye Junshu put the bookcase on the bed, and then arranged his pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Not long after, a yamen servant came to distribute the test papers.

Ye Junshu took his test paper from the window, first checked whether there were any mistakes, omissions or repetitions, and then went through all the questions.

The amount of questions in the test is very large. Fortunately, he was also a person who fought in the sea of ​​questions back then. Ye Junshu was not worried at all that he would not be able to finish the questions.

After going through all the answers, he knew what he was doing, and he felt relieved when he realized that he did it all. The most important thing was the difference between whether he answered well or not.

The content of the first half of the exam was Tie Jing and Mo Yi, from the Four Books and Five Classics, that is, fill-in-the-blank questions and short-answer questions. He memorized the contents of the Four Books and Five Classics fluently.

The most important thing is the composition and poems later, this is the most important thing.

Ye Junshu first did all the questions on the draft paper. It was easier to do the simple ones in the front, but the later questions were a bit more in-depth and needed to be pondered.

Ye Junshu thought about his direction of answering the question, and when he finally had an idea, he heard movement in the window.

It turned out that it was already noon, and the yamen servant was delivering food.

Hearing the news, he had already reached the next door, Ye Junshu stood up, stretched his hands and feet, and then went to the window to pick up his portion of the meal.

The taste of the food is not heavy, and it is more vegetarian. The taste is naturally not as good as that at home, and it is a bit hard to swallow.Ye Junshu was a little hungry, and basically forced himself to eat all of it. Now is the time to waste his brain. Excessive use of the brain consumes the most energy, so he must eat enough.At this time, he couldn't help being picky, not to mention that he was not picky about food. He just thought that those candidates who were used to delicacies from mountains and seas would probably suffer.

After Ye Junshu finished his lunch, he put the bowls and chopsticks by the window, walked around to digest his food, and then lay down on the bed to take a nap.

He was used to sleeping on the kang bed, but he didn't think the wooden bed was hard, but he always had the illusion that the wooden board was about to break, so he didn't dare to move it too much.

Moreover, the quilt smelled musty. Fortunately, the weather is neither cold nor hot. Ye Junshu only used it to rest his stomach, and then fell asleep with his eyes closed.

In the afternoon, Ye Junshu wrote the articles and poems on the draft paper full of energy.

Since Mr. Xuezheng is a pragmatist and doesn't like flamboyant writing style, then he should naturally write in the style he is best at, instead of writing gorgeously to cater to Xuezheng's taste.

In order to make the article look in-depth, and the words are true, he also quoted classics and embedded them in it, and he had to pay attention not to exceed the number of words.

As for composing poems, it is even simpler. I wrote a seven-character verse with the title "Xue Er".

Ye Junshu summed up the themes of previous poems and found that they are inseparable from the nature of the world. He has a sense of things and aspirations, is tireless in learning, and takes responsibility for the world. He has already written many poems on these themes, and he has also commented on them. Directly Pick the best and most suitable song from the theme, and change it a little.

Ye Junshu finished all the questions, it was still early.

He stretched his body, turned his neck, twisted his waist, and exercised his whole body, and then found that the examinee opposite him looked at him like a fool.

Ye Junshu: "..."

Soon it was time for dinner. After Ye Junshu had eaten, he saw that the sky had not yet darkened, so he began to write.

Whether the handwriting is good or not, the critical moment also affects the score, so Ye Jun wrote very seriously, so serious that he didn't even hear what happened in the small room not far away, and he really kept his ears shut. .

Ye Junshu finished transcribing the previous topics, leaving only articles and poems. It was already night and the brightness of the oil lamp was not high, so Ye Junshu did not continue to write. Anyway, there is still plenty of time, and the topics can be done, and the writing is natural Relaxed and not compact.

He blinked his sore eyes, rubbed them for a while, sat at the table and waited for the writing brush to dry, and looked across to see that the other party was still writing quickly.

After all the papers were dry, Ye Junshu carefully put them all away in the bookcase, put them on the bedside, and began to take off his clothes to prepare for sleep.

Although the weather wasn't too hot, staying in this small room for a long time made his whole body greasy and felt very uncomfortable. It's just that the test shed didn't have such good conditions to provide bathing, so Ye Junshu had to endure it.

It was like this on the first day, wouldn't it be even more difficult to wait for the second day?

Ye Junshu blew out the oil lamp, lay down on the bed, and began to sleep with his eyes closed.

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Junshu woke up habitually when it was just dawn. Seeing the simple roof, it took him a moment to realize that he was in the examination room.

After he woke up, he exercised his body as usual, and he was full of energy to meet the second day of the exam.

In the morning, he rewrote the article, confirmed again and again that he did not deviate from the topic, had a deep intention, and could not find any faults, before Ye Junshu transcribed the article.

After all the writing is finished and the handwriting is dry, check it all again. If there is nothing wrong, stack the papers one by one and put them in a sealed bag.

Not long after, a yamen servant came to collect the papers.

Ye Junshu handed in the paper, and the first half of the exam was over.

Shortly after lunch, a yamen servant came to hand out the test papers for the second half of the exam.

The content of the test questions is more complicated, and the amount of questions is also large.

Moreover, the test paper scores in the second half accounted for 30.00% of the total score, so you should not be careless.

As usual, Ye Junshu checked the test paper for any missing pages or illegible handwriting, and then quickly browsed through the test questions.

Ye Junshu frowned, and his heart sank. This paper is a bit difficult for most candidates. From his point of view, there are two arithmetic problems that not many people can solve. Fortunately, he has studied modern advanced mathematics. Yes, no matter how difficult it is in ancient times, it can't be difficult.

In terms of arithmetic, he also gave his senior brother a surprise attack, and he could still do it if he had some time.

What troubled Ye Junshu was miscellaneous studies. The topic was relatively obscure, and he was a little unsure how to answer it.

He calmed down, pondered while studying the ink, let his brain clear for a while, and then hurriedly wrote the topic to be done on the draft paper before starting to ponder the difficult problem.

I didn't clear my mind until dinner time.

After Ye Junshu finished his meal, he still settled down and copied the other written answers first before going to sleep.

That night, Ye Junshu didn't know how many people tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at night, and he himself became one of them, lying on the bed and thinking about the unanswered questions, how should he answer them?But for fear of affecting tomorrow's state, Ye Junshu forced himself to fall asleep.

In the early morning of the third day, Ye Junshu hurriedly wrote the answers to the test questions on the draft paper, rested his brain all night, and finally got inspiration. He was afraid that he would forget, so he wrote quickly.

After finishing all the topics, the time was already a little tight, so he started copying without stopping.

There was a lot of movement outside one after another. It is estimated that some candidates who could not bear the pressure fainted and were carried out.

Ye Jun's book is as immobile as a mountain, and he concentrates on writing.

After putting down the pen and barely drying the handwriting, the yamen servant came to collect the scroll.

The college entrance examination is over!

Ye Junshu breathed a sigh of relief, he tried his best, whether he succeeded or failed, it was all in one fell swoop.

He packed up his things, and after an official outside announced his exit, Ye Junshu followed the flow of people out of the examination room one by one.

Ye Junshu noticed that most of the examinees looked depressed and frowning, as if they felt that they did not do well in the exam, and it seemed that the conditions for the past three days were too difficult, and they all looked pale and trembling.

Ye Junshu felt that his complexion was not much better.

Physical exhaustion is nothing, mainly mental exhaustion, feeling that I have been hollowed out.The soles of his feet were fluttering, his whole body was exhausted and his brain was dizzy, and it was extremely easy to relieve the pressure. Several kinds of feelings were intertwined, and he felt that he was not well anywhere.

Even people who have a background in martial arts feel this way. Wouldn't it be worse for others with weak bones?

After leaving the examination room, the glare of the sun, the turbulent crowd, and the noisy voices made his eyes dizzy, which was a painful torture.

"Zizhou Zizhou, look here! Here!"

Ye Junshu took a closer look, outside the densely packed crowd, Qin Yaoliang waved his hands and shouted hissingly, while jumping up so that Ye Junshu could see him.

He walked through the crowd with difficulty. The master and the two temporary teachers were there. Besides the seniors, there were several other seniors.

I really don't know where the senior brother got his energy from, are all simple-minded people like this?Ye Junshu could only feel the sour smell on his body, which was unbearable.

He just wants to take a shower and sleep in bed for three days and three nights.

I didn't know how long I waited, but I heard my husband say, "Everyone is here, let's go back."

Then he was pulled into a carriage by his senior brother.

Ye Junshu was already sober at this time, and had the strength to chat with his senior brother.

After a while, they returned to their residence.

Sir, they are very experienced, and they have prepared hot water and hot noodle soup early.

Ye Junshu washed off the peculiar smell and felt refreshed all over. He drank a bowl of warm noodle soup, then went back to his room and lay down on the bed, closed his eyes, and fell asleep instantly.

When he woke up again, Ye Junshu only felt full of strength and energy, as if he had been reborn as if he had washed his tendons and cut his marrow.

"Ho!"

As soon as Ye Junshu opened his eyes, he was taken aback by an enlarged version of a human face, and almost slapped him, but he managed to stop this subconscious movement in time.

"Brother, why are you so scary?" Do you know that you were almost slapped in the face?

Qin Yaoliang blinked, his expression was as innocent as possible, "Is there any?" Then he hurriedly said, "Zi Zhou, you finally woke up, you slept all day and all night, and now it's the evening of the next day! "

Ye Junshu said calmly, got up, changed his clothes and rinsed his mouth to go for food, no wonder his stomach was so hungry.

Qin Yaoliang followed Ye Junshu, his spirits were extremely high, he chattered endlessly: "You know what? That Yu Maolin, the very good one, was carried out before the first exam was finished!"

"Oh, it's really unlucky. I had diarrhea on the first day of the exam, and I collapsed in the evening. The yamen guards were afraid that something would happen to him, so they forced him out. I didn't take the next exam. I guess I won't be on the list. I don't know why. Who will be the leader of the case next time."

Qin Yaoliang said with regret.

When Ye Junshu heard the news, he was taken aback for a while, thinking of the vigorous young man who was sought after in Yaxuan that day, um...he didn't finish the exam?

He fell ill as soon as the exam came. He didn't believe it was such a coincidence, but Ye Junshu was more willing to believe that Yu Maolin was tricked.

Sure enough, the trees are beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy them.

That Yu Maolin didn't have much mind at first glance, and his talent was far superior to his peers, which made him a bit arrogant. It is estimated that if he is not in a good mood, he will be taken down.

A course in the imperial examination does not mean that one can get ahead with talent.

Ye Junshu didn't dare to be careless.

Even Yu Maolin, who seems to have some background, can be tricked. Shouldn't he be more careful as a child of a peasant family with no power?

Once you are suppressed by someone with a heart, it will be even more difficult to get ahead.

Ye Junshu pondered, it would be more suitable for him to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Moreover, it takes a lot of attention to act and make friends in normal times.

Qin Yaoliang babbled about a lot of gossip about the examination room. Ye Junshu didn't know how he found out, and he slept all day to regain his energy. Could it be that the senior brother only slept for one night and went out early this morning to inquire about the news?

He felt that he should be like his senior brother, with a stronger pressure tolerance in his heart.

As soon as Ye Junshu had filled his stomach, Qin Yaoliang couldn't wait to drag him out.

"It's a lively time outside, and the exam is finally over, let's go and have a good time."

"Shouldn't you call the brothers together?"

"No need." Qin Yaoliang pouted and waved his hands, "Just the two of us going out."

Ye Junshu has no objection, it's more comfortable to be with senior brother.

It's a rare opportunity, he has to take a good look around this Linfeng County to see if there are any strange things, so that he can buy them back for the children.

I haven't seen him in half a month. He really misses the children. I don't know if they are obedient or crying...

It just so happened that after finishing shopping tonight, I will rush back to the county early tomorrow morning to pick up the children.

"Why go back so early? At least you have to wait until the results come out!" Qin Yaoliang raised his voice.

Ye Junshu turned his head and met Qin Yaoliang with a dissatisfied expression on his face. Oh, it turned out that he had revealed his plan unconsciously.

Ye Junshu said casually: "I'm worried about my family, I'd better go back and have a look."

The exams have already been passed, and it is useless to stay here.Ye Junshu felt that he had passed his highest level in the test, and what the result was, he could only do his best and obey the destiny.

There are still nine days until the results come out, and Ye Junshu doesn't want to wait so long.

"Brothers, I have my mother watching. Why are you worried? Everyone waits for the results to come out before going back. Can you go back alone? No matter how you do in the exam, you have to see it with your own eyes. Besides, this During this period, there are so many students here, they can exchange and learn from each other, Zizhou, this is very beneficial to you, it would be a pity to miss it."

Qin Yaoliang said meaningfully.

Ye Junshu hesitated for a moment. It would be better if he stayed, but the child...

After struggling for a long time, Ye Junshu was finally persuaded to stay.

The outside is as lively as ever, looking around, there are many students wearing Confucian uniforms, and the clothes of the people coming and going are very neat and decent, unlike in Fengcheng County, most of them are wearing patched linen clothes, which is really a big difference.

Qin Yaoliang took Ye Junshu to participate in the symposium, and I don't know how he did it. He met a few students who got along well, and met every day to discuss poetry and current affairs.

It was the first time for Ye Junshu to participate in this kind of gathering of literati, and he found it quite unusual, and it was really rewarding. He also met a few friends whom he could chat with, and made an appointment to visit and communicate with each other in the future, so as to make progress together.

After walking back, Ye Junshu silently read his answer sheet to his husband. The husband didn’t say anything after reading it. Ye Junshu didn’t know what to do. Bring back the score.

Their itinerary for several days was full and they lived a fulfilling life. Ye Junshu didn't think about going home all the time, but there was one thing that made him puzzled. That Yu Maolin hadn't shown up for so many days, and he didn't know about him. How is it going.

Ye Junshu felt that it would be a pity if such a talented person was left in a slump.

Really came up with whatever he wanted, Ye Junshu and Qin Yaoliang came back from a party, Ye Junshu saw Yu Maolin walking in front alone, his back looked a bit lost.

Ye Junshu hesitated for a moment, and said to Qin Yaoliang, "Brother, you go back first, I'll be late."

Qin Yaoliang didn't see Yu Maolin, and was puzzled by what Ye Junshu said, but he responded without asking, "Then I'll go first."

Although they have a close relationship, there is no need to stick together all the time, and they all have their own things they want to do.

Ye Junshu waited for him to leave before chasing after Yu Maolin in the direction where Yu Maolin disappeared.

He walked faster, and it didn't take long to see Yu Maolin's figure.

He was standing on an ancient bridge, looking down at the flowing water under the bridge.

Ye Junshu straightened his clothes, walked over, raised a modest smile, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Yu, I have admired your name for a long time."

Yu Maolin turned his head to look at Ye Junshu, but the arrogance in his eyes was no longer there, and some hostility was tainted.

"I was studying in Xiafengcheng County, Ye Junshu, and I was in Yaxuan that day. Thanks to brother Yu who helped us out of the siege, otherwise, we might have conflicts with other candidates, and then things would get out of hand."

Ye Junshu said sincerely, "I admire Brother Yu's demeanor very much. On that day, Brother Yu wrote a pen and wrote a poem in Yaxuan, and he was full of energy. I will never forget it. I wonder if I have the honor to be friends with Brother Yu?"

Yu Maolin's complexion was a little thin and pale, probably because he had suffered too much that day and hadn't recovered. He stared at Ye Junshu for a long time before he said, "Ye Junshu? I know you."

Ye Junshu looked at him suspiciously.

Yu Maolin raised his chin and continued, "I didn't expect you to take the college entrance examination this time, the only opponent I admit."

Ye Junshu: "???" Wait, how did you come up with such a second-year line?Also, why was he considered an opponent?

"I passed the Tongsheng examination at the age of ten when I was younger. I have paid attention to you since then. I thought you had given up the imperial examination, and I felt sorry for losing you as an opponent. I didn't expect that you would still be an opponent after all. Go this way."

Ye Junshu: "..." Wait, is there some misunderstanding here?Just because he was also a boy student in the ten-year-old exam, somehow he has an opponent?

Yu Maolin frowned and asked, "Are you going to take the township examination next year?"

Ye Junshu said: "I haven't entered school for three years, and I'm not strong enough. I'm not sure I can pass this college exam. Even if I pass by luck, I'll have to wait for the next provincial exam."

"That's great. In the next imperial examination, let's compete in the three exams: the provincial examination, the national examination, and the imperial examination. I hope you won't let me down." After finishing speaking, Yu Maolin left Shi Shiran.

Ye Junshu: "..."

Worrying that he can't think of himself who is committing suicide, his brain is really flooded!

Soon it was the day when the rankings would be released, and everyone got up early. Looking at the faces of the seniors, they seemed to be worried about whether they could pass the exam. They thought too much at night and didn't have a good rest.

Ye Junshu thought, anyway, the matter is a foregone conclusion, it's useless to think too much, so it's time to eat and sleep.

Except for him and Qin Yaoliang who ate deliciously at breakfast, the other senior brothers were absent-minded, put down without eating two bites, looked outside from time to time, and couldn't sit still.

After the gentlemen finished eating, some senior brothers couldn't wait to say: "Let's go out!"

Qin Kangtai saw that these students were burning with anxiety, so he didn't hold them back. As soon as he nodded, the brothers rushed out impatiently.

Seeing this, Qin Yaoliang wiped his mouth and said to Ye Junshu: "Zizhou, let's go too."

Ye Junshu looked at the sky, it's not past Mao, isn't it too early?

You must know that the list will only be released when the time comes.

"Let's get a good seat early!"

Ye Junshu thought about it too. There must be a lot of people when the list is released. If you go late, you may not know when you will be able to squeeze in to see the list.

So they went out with Qin Yaoliang.

When we arrived at the gate of the yamen, many students had already gathered, as well as other students' book boys and servants. Obviously, everyone had this idea, so come early to take a front seat and read the list early.

Ye Junshu wanted to wait outside, but Qin Yaoliang pulled him in and squeezed forward.

"Occupy a place first while there are not many people, and there will be more people later, and I don't know how long it will take to see the list."

Ye Junshu saw that Qin Yaoliang was struggling, so he had to open the way. Those who pushed and shoved in the crowd lost their image, and he saw the stitches, and finally led Qin Yaoliang out of the encirclement, and stood in the front.

Qin Yaoliang stood before posting the list, with his head held high, as if he was very proud of being at the front.

Ye Junshu was still very calm at first, probably because he was infected by the atmosphere at this time, he felt a little nervous unconsciously.

He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if he passed, but so what?

Hmm... It's a pleasant surprise to be able to pass. If you can't pass it, you can take the exam next time. Anyway, he is still young, so don't be afraid!

Once a person becomes restless, time becomes sad. Ye Junshu looks up at the sky from time to time, always feeling that the time has not changed.

Fortunately, there is a senior brother on the side, chatting from time to time to divert attention, so it won't be too difficult.

Suddenly someone shouted: "Come here!"

The crowd surged forward, Qin Yaoliang and Ye Junshu were squeezed so close to the wall.

They looked to the right, and saw a group of yamen servants walking towards this side while opening the way. The two yamen servants in the middle were still holding two rolls of red paper in their hands, "Give way, hurry up!"

Ye Junshu and the others tried their best to back away, leaving space for the yamen servants, and watched the yamen servants stick the two red lists tightly to the wall one after another, and then left.

The crowd watching the list rushed forward, and Ye Junshu, who was in the front, was directly pushed forward.

Qin Yaoliang looked at the list nervously, and comforted him: "Zizhou, don't be nervous, look carefully, there will definitely be your name." He looked down from No.1 all the way, and kept breaking things. Thinking of Zizhou's name, he opened his eyes and looked at each one.

"You don't need to look for it anymore." Ye Junshu suddenly tugged at Qin Yaoliang.

"Don't, Zizhou, don't be discouraged, we haven't finished it yet!" Qin Yaoliang kept his eyes on the names on the red list, "Look again, we'll see it soon!"

"Found it." Ye Junshu said calmly.

"Where is it?" Qin Yaoliang anxiously grabbed Ye Junshu's hand, and Ye Junshu pointed to the third-to-last name on another list, with the words Ye Junshu written impressively.

Qin Yaoliang saw it, and it really was!He suddenly laughed, "Zizhou Zizhou, you passed the exam hahaha!"

Although he was No. 90 eighth, he passed the exam. Ye Junshu couldn't help but smile, he was really pleasantly surprised.

Then he said: "Brother, you also passed the exam, No. 80 five."

"What?" Qin Yaoliang quickly turned his head and looked in the direction Ye Junshu pointed, his name was impressively listed.

"Ahahaha... Zizhou passed the exam!" Qin Yaoliang wanted to be insane, laughing and jumping with Ye Junshu in his arms, and then under the envious eyes of others, he moved out of his seat and squeezed through the crowd to get out with difficulty.

After coming out, people were all disheveled, but it didn't affect their good mood at all.

"Hahaha, my precious manuscript can finally come back!" Qin Yaoliang looked up to the sky and laughed.

Ye Junshu: "..." I knew you were going to say this.

"Zizhou, you are so smart, you found our name so quickly!" Qin Yaoliang praised, he looked carefully for a long time but couldn't find it.

"It's simple, just start from the bottom." Ye Junshu said calmly, he was very self-aware, and with their strength, if they didn't rank in the back, there was no need to count on it.

There are two red lists, one is the top [-], and the other is the bottom [-]. The brother is looking for the top [-] red list, it is strange to find it.

"That's right, haha!"

Ye Junshu and Qin Yaoliang walked shoulder to shoulder and walked in front of Qin Kangtai and the others. Qin Yaoliang's face was full of color, and he said with joy, "Father, we passed the exam!"

Qin Kangtai turned to Ye Junshu, Ye Junshu heaved a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face, "I live up to my expectations."

Qin Kangtai's usual serious face softened, revealing a smile.

Qin Yaoliang was in high spirits, "Zizhou and I are still very good. Father, you still scold me all the time. Look, I got 85th in the exam! Zizhou can get 98th in the exam after three years of suspension! If Zizhou doesn't stop studying, maybe That's the case!"

Qin Kangtai tried his best to keep a straight face, "You didn't even enter the top [-], you think you are very good, don't you?"

Qin Yaoliang was not afraid at all, he was laughing and joking.

Ye Junshu saw Yu Maolin standing alone not far away, and he didn't go to say hello. He felt really sorry. If he could finish the exam, he would be the one to take the lead in this case. It's a pity that the one on No.1 was an unfamiliar name. Yu Maolin missed the exam and was not on the list.

Not long after, other senior brothers came back one after another, all of them were downcast, probably none of them passed the exam.

Ye Junshu took a quick glance and found that they did not have their names.

They finally restrained themselves and were less emotionally exposed.

Qin Yaoliang coughed lightly, "How are you brothers?"

Feng Lisong shook his head several times, with a bitter face, extremely frustrated, "I didn't pass the exam." Then he forced a smile, "Congratulations to the two juniors on the list." Obviously, they saw their names.

Qin Kangtai said solemnly: "It's just that I didn't pass the exam this time. What does it look like to be so depressed? Everyone cheer up!"

"Yes..." The brothers responded feebly.

Qin Kangtai was also worried that the reprimand would hurt them even more, so he said, "Since the results have come out, we'll go back."

Everyone responded and returned to their residences together.

Everyone originally planned to go back after reading the list, so the luggage was almost packed, and it didn't take long for them to get on the carriage home.

Ye Junshu and Qin Yaoliang are in a good mood, but they just have to take into account the mood of the other seniors, so they don't want to show it too clearly.

Ye Junshu was brisk and extremely comfortable. He thought that the children would be very happy when he brought back this good news, and the people of Yejia Village would also be very happy.

The stepping stone of the road to the imperial examination was finally given to him.

With the fame of a scholar, he can barely be regarded as a sergeant, which is a good start.Ye Junshu believed that if he was given some more time, he would be able to occupy a place in this dynasty.

Ye Junshu finished the day and night journey impatiently, and when he returned to the familiar county town and saw the familiar scenes and objects, he felt at ease in his heart.

Although Fengcheng County is dusty, it's not good, but this is his hometown and his roots. No matter how prosperous and lively outside, only this county town and that village can give him a sense of belonging.

After entering the county seat, everyone scattered and went home.

Ye Junshu was with Mr. and the others, and they were the only ones left. They couldn't help but smile at each other, and their faces were filled with joy.

Qin Yaoliang sat slumped on the carriage, "Oh, I've been holding back these two days. I'm obviously very happy, but I still can't express my emotions."

Ye Junshu said: "You have to take the feelings of the senior brothers into account." He was so happy that he became even more hateful, and he felt that senior brother Feng's jealousy towards them became more and more obvious.

"Aren't we allowed to have fun by ourselves after we pass the exam?" Qin Yaoliang complained a few words, and when he saw the door of the house, he immediately jumped up and quickly jumped out of the car, "Em Em!"

Ye Junshu also jumped out of the car, and he couldn't wait to see the children!

"Mum, Zizhou and I have both passed the exam!" Qin Yaoliang surrounded his teacher and showed off like a child.

Ye Junshu couldn't care about other things, he only saw the children for a whole month.

"Big brother, big brother!"

"Big brother!"

The children screamed and rushed over. Ye Junshu squatted down and opened his hands. The children threw themselves into Ye Junshu's arms like swallows returning to their nests, forming a dense pile.

"Big brother, I miss you so much!"

"Brother, me too, I miss you so much..."

"Big brother..."

The children scrambled to tell their thoughts, Qin Geer and the twins couldn't help crying, and even Lu Geer shed a few tears.

Ye Junshu held the children in his arms, looked at the immature faces of the children full of admiration and dependence, and couldn't help but feel a sore nose, "Brother misses you too!"

Xiao Shan also walked to the side and looked at Ye Junshu eagerly. Although he is a young adult, he misses his elder brother a little.

After telling the children how much he missed, Ye Junshu said with a smile: "I tell you good news, my eldest brother has been admitted as a scholar!"

"Ah! Big brother is amazing!" The children clapped their palms, jumped up and down and cheered, looking at Ye Junshu with eyes filled with admiration.

Qin Yaoliang suddenly came over and showed off to the children: "Brother Yaoliang, I have also passed the exam!"

Unsurprisingly, the children started cheering again: "Brother Yaoliang is amazing!" The little eyes of admiration surrounded Qin Yaoliang.

Qin Yaoliang suddenly smiled proudly.

Ye Junshu couldn't help squinting at him, feeling a little jealous suddenly.

After the excitement, Ye Junshu bid farewell to his husband and the others.

After all, he hasn't been home for a long time, and besides, he wants to tell Uncle Rong and the others the good news himself.

Qin Kangtai understood them, so he didn't try to keep them.

Shimu was very reluctant to leave the children, but still went to pack up the children's things, and then let the carriage take them back to the village.

Qin Yaoliang pawed at the carriageway: "Zi Zhou, you must come to my celebration banquet, and you must invite me to your celebration banquet!"

"Definitely." Ye Junshu replied again and again, "At that time, please invite Mr. Shifu and the others to come."

Qin Yaoliang reluctantly let go after getting the guarantee.

The groom drove the carriage, rattling towards Ye Family Village.

In the carriage, the children refused to sit properly and insisted on crowding next to Ye Junshu, talking childishly about the past month, and complaining to each other by the way.

Ye Junshu rubbed this, touched that, and looked at the little Douding who had grown whiter, tenderer and rounder during this time, and felt better.

He is very grateful to Shimu's family in his heart. It seems that Shimu is better at raising children than him, and the children look healthier after being raised.

He looked at the children with a smile on his face, and there were laughter and laughter all the way.

The speed of the carriage was much faster than that of the ox cart, and they returned to the village in no time.

The car drove into the village and walked home.

The children were even more excited to see the familiar village.

Although Shimu treats them very well, this is their home!

As soon as the carriage stopped at the door of the house, the children couldn't wait to get out of the ground.

"Go home! Go home!"

Seeing a fellow who came to watch the excitement and shouted sweetly, it is obvious that the children's memory is still very good. Even if they haven't seen each other for a few months, they can still recognize who is with whom.

"Boy Zhou, boy Zhou!"

Hearing the news, Ming came here in a hurry. Seeing the children whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was very excited, "The children are back too! Just come back! Just come back!"

"Ming Amu!" The children jumped over happily and gave Ming Amu a hug.

"Eh!"

Ye Junshu said with a smile on his face, "Ming Ming, I have passed the exam."

When Ming'am heard this, his whole body trembled with excitement. He couldn't believe it and asked again and again: "Really?"

Ye Junshu nodded with a smile.

"Ancestors bless! Ancestors bless! Thank God!" Ming's eyes were moist, and he wiped them, "I knew that Zhou boy is promising, your father and mother are in heaven, you can rest in peace."

"This great news has to be told to the folks. Our village has finally produced a scholar! Smoke is rising from the ancestor's grave!" Ming'am said excitedly, turning around and going to the village.

Ye Junshu hurriedly shouted, "Aunt Ming, the key!"

"That's right! Look at my memory!" Ming Amu slapped his forehead, quickly gave the key to Ye Junshu, and then ran fast to spread the great news.

Ye Junshu smiled, and as soon as he opened the door, the twins and Brother Qin ran in and ran all over the room.

Xiaoshan and the others helped to take off the luggage and move it into the house.

They didn't bring anything when they went to live in the county temporarily. When they came back, they had piles of packages, clothes, toys and daily necessities.

Ye Junshu invited the groom to come in for a rest, but the other party refused.After the luggage was moved, the groom drove away in the carriage.

Ye Junshu looked around the house and found it was quite clean. It seemed that Ah Mu usually cleaned it, but it was just that no one lived in it for a few months. He planned to clean the house inside and out.

With the help of Xiaoshan and Brother Lu, it should be cleaned up soon.

He originally wanted to take the quilt out to dry, but the sun was about to set, so he could only talk about it tomorrow.

Ye Junshu changed his Confucian uniform and put on bunts. Well, it seems that his body shape has changed again, and he feels a little tight. He needs to change his clothes or redo a few pieces.
