Reborn Farmhouse Restaurant [Transmigration Book]

Qiu You was also very flustered, but he was the oldest among the few friends, so he could only hold his own at this moment, saying: "We try not to walk around randomly, don't open our mouths, just watch what others do, we follow Just do it, everyone, although this banquet made us flustered, it is also a good opportunity to learn, we can observe the polite words and deeds of others, and regulate ourselves in the future, so as not to be like today in the future."

Everyone heard the words and nodded silently.This kind of thing will never happen again.

Qiu Jin was still nervous and speechless. Compared with Liu Tai, Du Rulin and Qiu You, his family background was even worse. He was even one of the two poor students that Du Qingchen promised Master Liu to take care of. Suddenly he had to face such a situation. He was just a teenager, how could he not be trembling with nervousness.

Qiu You noticed Qiu Jin's stiffness, walked over and patted Qiu Jin on the shoulder. After all, Qiu Jin was from the same village as him, and when he came, the elders in the clan also asked them to take care of each other. Qiu You naturally cared about him. , and said in a low voice: "Don't be afraid, stand behind us when the time comes, and you just follow what we do." Although they don't know if they can do it right.

Qiu Jin raised her hand to wipe her eyes, lowered her head, and said softly, "Okay."

The four of them changed their clothes, followed the maid who was waiting for them outside the courtyard, and went all the way to the flower hall. The eldest son of the Tao family was not there, and Tao Xiude was the oldest son in the family at the moment, so he had to be busy and had no time to take care of Liu Tai. People, just sent a book boy to take care of them.

Outside the flower hall, the book boy finally waited for these people, trotted over, and said with a smile on his face, "The young masters are here, and the slaves are waiting for you! The slaves were sent by the second son to take care of them. "

Qiu You secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Tao Xiude still remembered that they didn't understand the rules here, so he sent someone to help.

The book boy had already said: "Several, the prefect and some adults are sitting in the flower hall. Let's go in with the other young masters to meet and greet! A face-to-face meeting is also to tell the master that everyone is here."

A few people noticed that the newcomers had entered the flower hall, but they came out soon, and they knew that this was what the book boy meant. They dawdled at the door for a while, peeked at a few people who went in to salute, and saw them come out After that, go in.

The four saluted according to what they had just learned, then stood up, and waited for the highest ranking Tao Taishou to nod, then they turned and left, just like the group of people just now.

Sure enough, Tao Taishou just nodded his head, indicating that they can leave, Qiu You waited a sigh of relief, and bowed again before leaving.

Outside the door, the book boy greeted him, "Several young masters, there is nothing to do after saluting. You can just stroll around in the front yard and chat with other gentlemen. The backyard is full of female relatives at the moment. Please don't get in by mistake."

"Understood, is there anything else?" Qiu You wanted to ask once.

The book boy chuckled, "The banquet will start later, all you gentlemen can just find a place to sit down. Don't go to the tables near the main table. That's where the adults are. For other seats, all you gentlemen should sit down." Random."

The four nodded, relieved, it sounds okay, it's not difficult.

The book boy continued: "After the banquet is over, there will be a garden tour. The adults will consider the knowledge of the young masters present. Of course, you don't force it. If you don't like it, you can throw pots and guess flower sticks, etc. You can do whatever you want."

It sounded easier, and the four of them were completely relieved.

"Today's banquet is the prefect's celebration of the end of the exam, and it is also the meaning of condolences to the chief examiner and other adults for their hard work. Therefore, at the end, the list of Tongsheng and Xiucai exams will be released. One will be pasted outside to inform the candidates, and the other , then read it at the banquet, if someone's young master wins the prize, it would be an honor." The book boy said with a smile.

The hearts of the four of them rose again in an instant, "Are you even going to read out the admission list for the Tongsheng Examination?" Liu Tai asked anxiously.

"That's right! Young master, don't panic. The first thing to read is the list of scholars who have passed the exam, and the last is the list of children. Here, I will congratulate a few young masters for their titles in advance." The book boy said with a smile.

"Many...thanks." Several people were nervous.

It's not good for the book boy to follow, after all, on such an occasion, the other young masters have no reason to bring an entourage, so the book boy stood in the corner with Tao's servants from a distance, and others didn't think they were dressed in shabby clothes. After paying attention to them, the four of them found a place with the back of the rockery and stayed silently by themselves.

After eating, when visiting the garden, the four of them stood at the edge, and they didn't push forward, let alone rush to compose poems and lyrics to prove their talents. Besides, they really didn't know how to write poems yet. After all, he is the one who takes the test for the children. How can he be compared with the talented people in this courtyard? !

But Liu Tai is different. Liu Tai was enlightened earlier than them, and he is quite talented in this area. He loves poetry very much. Even though his knowledge is a little shallower than those people, he can occasionally say a few simple and interesting lines , Seeing someone writing poems and fighting poems in front of him, he couldn't help it, but he still remembered what Qiu You said, he didn't want to step forward, so he could only stand in place and twist around, trying to restrain his desire to speak. desire.

Tao Taishou stood in the center of the crowd, surrounded by several adults, including the chief examiner. Tao Taishou smiled and said to one of the chief examiners surnamed Gao: "Today's banquet, why don't Master Gao also come up with a topic, so that you can give me a question. These juniors write a poem or something."

Mr. Gao didn't refuse, he was also very interested, looked around, glanced at his youngest son, and said with a smile: "Let's use the school as the topic, everyone can recite what they feel as much as they want, even if they are mischievous."

Liu Tai's eyes lit up when he heard the words, I will answer this question!

Qiu You had already seen that Liu Tai was eager to try, Mr. Gao's question probably touched Liu Tai's heart, he couldn't help but wanted to speak, Qiu You immediately raised his hand and pressed Liu Tai's shoulder.

Liu Tai was taken aback, and looked at Qiu You aggrievedly, rubbing his feet on the ground, can't he really say something?He really wanted to stand up and say a few words.But Master Liu told him to listen to Qiu You, so Liu Tai could only sigh deeply.

Tao Taishou has gotten to know Liu Tai these days and knows that he is quite talented in writing poems. His wife once praised Liu Tai in front of him, saying that Liu Tai is very talented and has a lot of inspiration.

Tao Taishou glanced at Liu Tai and the others, and seeing a few people who were cautious in their words and deeds, with their heads down and no sense of presence, he suddenly remembered his past. At the beginning, he was so shy and even made a fuss. A lot of jokes.

Liu Tai looked pitifully at Qiu You again, but he really wanted to speak up!He can answer this question!

Qiu You is unmoved, and when he has fame in the future, he will naturally have a bright future, so why bother to show his face now?If it is not good, it will be a joke among others in the future.Qiu You always seeks stability and is unwilling to do risky things.

Liu Tai's feet rubbed against the ground again, looking a little restless, as if he was trying to say something but couldn't.Tao Taishou saw that Liu Tai had a poem, but he was ashamed and dared not speak.

Liu Tai was young and came from the countryside, so even if the poems he wrote were questionable, he would not lose face, but if he could write a little bit brilliantly, he could gain a reputation and attract the attention of others. Make a name for yourself.

Firstly, he was in a high position but treated his friends when he was poor as always, even took his son into the mansion and treated him as his nephew.Secondly, Liu Tai is talented, this is his nephew, and it also gives him face.

Thinking of this, Taishou Tao said, "Nephew Liu Xian, come here, but you have poems, do you want to listen to them?" Since Liu Tai didn't dare, he just helped him.

Liu Tai was taken aback, Qiu You immediately let go, put his hands behind his back, everyone's eyes came together, Qiu You put on a calm and steady look, while Du Rulin imitated his elder brother Du Qingchen, with the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, smiling, and straightened his back Straightforward, with an neither humble nor overbearing expression, in fact, he panicked to death, okay?Why are you all looking at them all of a sudden!

Qiu Jin lowered his head and stood beside the three of them without saying a word, as if nothing around him existed and he was only immersed in his own world. Liu Tai looked at Tao Taishou blankly and surprised, and said, did you call him? ?It seems that the person calling him is really calling him!

Liu Tai's eyes lit up, he took two steps forward and bowed his hands to Tao Taishou and several adults, and said, "I do, but I'm afraid that the writing will be bad and make people laugh."

"Don't be afraid, with your Uncle Tao here, if it's not good, I'll fix it for you." Tao Taishou smiled gently.

Everyone looked at Liu Tai in amazement, thinking to themselves where did these poorly dressed boys come from, and why Tao Taishou was so close to them?You have to check it when you go back!This investigation naturally did what Tao Taishou wanted and made him famous.

When Liu Tai heard this, he said, "That boy is making a fool of himself. The grass grows and the warblers fly in the February sky, and the willows are drunk with spring smoke when they brush the embankment. The children come back early from school, and they are busy taking advantage of the east wind to release paper kites."

"Okay! It's really good!" Tao Taishou took the lead in approving, even he couldn't fault this poem, it really made him look good.

Master Gao also looked at Liu Tai who was already smiling embarrassedly, and said: "Whose son is this, why have I never seen it before?" If there is such a poetic talent, he should have been famous long ago.

Hearing this, Tao Taishou immediately told the story of Liu Tai and others with a smile, which attracted others to praise Liu Tai. They understood that among these poorly dressed boys, only Liu Tai was Tao Taishou's nephew. It's all by the way, they just need to concentrate on praising Liu Tai.

Liu Tai bowed his hands in embarrassment and was humble.

Everyone's eyes were not on Du Rulin and the others, and they became more and more honest, staying obediently aside.

"My lords, the good news has been posted outside. This is the directory of this year's scholars and children. Please check it out." A servant came, holding two official documents, and handed them to Tao Taishou.

Tao Taishou took it over, and everyone's eyes immediately focused on the official document in Tao Taishou's hand. , naturally no one cares about Liu Tai anymore.

Seeing this, Liu Tai also retreated to his friends, and like everyone else, nervously looked at the official document in Tao Taishou's hand.

Tao Taishou looked around with a smile, and then said to several adults: "Since that's the case, let people read it! These children are anxious."

"Naturally." Mr. Gao nodded with a smile, and took the official document from Tao Taishou. He is the chief examiner of the scholar examination, and it is only reasonable that one of the official documents should be read by him. No.1 started to read, but it was not until No.10 that someone happily signaled that it was me, and everyone hurriedly congratulated.

Mr. Gao quickly finished reading the list of scholars, and Tao Taishou handed another official document to Mr. Chen beside him. This person is the chief examiner of the Tongsheng Examination.Mr. Chen has a calm personality and doesn't like to stand out, so he always just observes and doesn't make a sound. Before Liu Tai wrote a poem, and Tao Taishou told him his name and origin, he thought of this person, and his name is now on this official list. After all, he participated in all the exam marking and ranking, so he naturally remembered it.

Liu Tai's articles are fresh in rhetoric and have a bit of childlike interest. He quite likes them, but the articles are a bit immature, but he can be expected to be a teenager.Lord Chen opened the official document, smiled and looked at Tao Taishou meaningfully. Tao Taishou noticed Mr. Chen's expression, felt something, his eyes brightened slightly, and he also laughed.Among the young men in the mansion, he only cared about Liu Tai, and even asked his master Liu Tai's homework many times. will move forward.

Sure enough, he lived up to his expectations!Not only can Master Chen have such an expression, but his ranking is not low!

Mr. Chen opened it and read, "No.1, Du Rulin." Mr. Chen didn't care at all, he was not familiar with this name, he probably wasn't a child of someone else, and he wouldn't be at this banquet. Mr. Chen just wanted to continue reading Liu He heard Liu Tai cheering and patting the back of the little friend beside him, only to beat him and take a step forward unconsciously.

"Ru Lin! It's you! You got the first place in the exam! My father will be very happy when he finds out!" Liu Tai said happily.

Master Chen was taken aback, so the first name was one of Liu Tai's classmates?It was a coincidence.The others immediately cupped their hands to express their congratulations. Du Rulin was happy for a while, then immediately stepped forward to salute and thank the teacher.

Mr. Chen agreed with a smile, still appreciative in his heart.Tao Taishou was also slightly surprised, he never cared about the other boys, because it was just incidental to Liu Tai, so he never asked how their homework was. There is no sense of presence in the house, and it is unexpected that someone can get the first name!With such a result, I am afraid that the next year's examination for talents will be guaranteed. If I keep working hard and never relax my studies, I am afraid that it will only be a matter of time before I pass the examination.

Only then did Tao Taishou take Du Rulin into his eyes, and secretly wrote down his name. Juren is naturally not worth his attention, but the young Juren is very likely to pass the Jinshi examination in a few years, and once he becomes a Jinshi, he can enter the court and become an official. Even if it is a small official, it is worth having a better attitude at the moment and forming a good relationship.

Tao Taishou nodded slightly, with a smile on his face, and looked at Du Rulin gently. It was the first time that Du Rulin was seen by Tao Taishou in this way. He panicked in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face, and unconsciously assumed the posture of his brother. , smiled and bowed to Tao Taishou, neither humble nor overbearing, even the expression of joy was faint, and he never lost his temper.

Master Chen also continued: "Second name, Liu Tai." Master Chen smiled and looked at Liu Tai, who seemed to let go of himself after reciting a poem, showing a cheerful and cheerful disposition.

Liu Tai was taken aback for a moment, and jumped up cheering, but was pulled down by Qiu You, who tightly grabbed his clothes to prevent him from jumping up again. Everyone quickly congratulated him, and Tao Taishou also laughed when he heard the words , the second name is very good!Very good!His brother Liu's son really lived up to expectations!

Liu Tai also came forward to thank the teacher, Master Chen continued to read, "Qiu You."

Originally, Qiu You saw that the two little friends had won, and the ranking was so high, and his heart became more and more nervous, but he didn't show it on the face, but he didn't expect the third place to be him, even though he was as calm as him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With a happy expression on his face, he went forward to salute and thanked the teacher.

Master Chen was slightly surprised, "It's you! It's such a coincidence. I just heard that you are classmates. I am very curious about your wife, and I really want to meet him."

Tao Taishou listened, laughed loudly, and said: "My good friend has a straightforward temperament. Although he lives in seclusion in the countryside, he is indeed a good scholar. It is not in vain to waste his painstaking efforts to teach the three of them."

"As expected of a good friend of the prefect." Everyone praised, but their hearts were filled with sourness. There were many officials and eunuchs who took the test for the boy students, but the top three were occupied by these country boys. Could it be that Mr. Liu is really so powerful? ?The students in the entire county can't compare with his students?They should also consider whether they should send their heirs to apprentice...

Mr. Chen recited more than ten people. Among the four, Qiu Jin was the poorest, the latest to be enlightened, and the worst academically.But soon, Mr. Chen read his name, "Qiu Jin, also from your county." Mr. Chen's eyes fell on the only one of the four people left, Qiu Jin immediately raised his head, couldn't restrain his joy, and hurried to He saluted before, and thanked the teacher stammeringly.

"Okay, okay!" Tao Taishou nodded again and again, and the smile on his face grew stronger, "Four people took the exam, and four of them won the exam. You really don't deserve the name of Brother Liu!"

The four immediately stepped forward and saluted Tao Taishou.
