The Road to the Imperial Examinations of Farmers in Ancient Times

Since the separation, the family has been much quieter.

Mrs. Li Wang was in a very gloomy mood because of the family separation a few days ago, and she lay on the bed for a long time, and invited a doctor to see her and took some medicine, so her body became more agile.

Back home from the academy, Li Wen also brought back the news that he had passed the county exam, and he also got No.1 in the county exam.

Knowing that her grandson had passed the county examination and got the first place in the county examination, Li Wang finally had a smile on her face, and her mood changed from the previous gloom. She hugged her grandson and said, , "Grandma's good grandson, Grandma knows that the good grandson must pass the exam. Our Li family is going to produce a scholar."

"Grandma, you wait for Sanbao to give you an exam to come back as a scholar, and let Grandma be happy." Li Sanbao coaxed the old lady to smile.

"Okay, okay." At this moment, the grandson said what he said, and Li Wang was very happy.

"Aniang made a new suit for Sambo. Sambo will go back to the house and try it on if it fits. If it doesn't fit, Aniang will change it for you." Well, as a mother, what she can do for her son is to make a new suit of clothes and sew a new pair of shoes for her son.

She and her husband went to the town to buy the cloth for the clothes that day. She was not in good health after she became pregnant, and it took so long to make the clothes for her son.

"Thank you, Auntie. Auntie, you are pregnant now, so don't work so hard to make clothes for me. It's good that I have clothes to wear. If you want to do it, you can make two new clothes for your brother or sister." Li Wen was reluctant to let his mother work so hard, he knew that his mother would not be well after having a child, so he worked so hard to make clothes for him

"It's not hard, Auntie. Put away your childhood clothes, Aniang. When this one comes out of Aniang's stomach, you can wear your childhood clothes. Maybe when you grow up, you will be like his elder brother, a smart man." Child." Sun Yi laughed.

"Hey, Auntie, that's for sure. My younger brother or younger sister will definitely be as respected as I am." Li Wen found that his skin was getting thicker and thicker, and he dared to say anything shameless.

But here are all his family members, so why not be afraid.

Knowing that his nephew had passed the county exam and got such good grades, after congratulating his eldest brother and nephew, Li's second son became even more silent when he was just sitting alone.He was so angry that day that he threatened to divorce his wife. He really wanted to divorce this restless wife, but later he was dissuaded by his family.

What's more, the girls are all young, the stepmother is always no better than the mother, no matter how bad the mother is, she is still the mother, if you really divorce and marry a stepmother, the pitiful ones are just a few sons.After listening to the mother-in-law crying and begging for mercy, did Li Lao Er not make up his mind to write a divorce letter, so he didn't mention the divorce of his wife anymore.

It was just because of this that the husband and wife separated.

Li Dahua has been very honest these days, she doesn't dare to offend the men in her family anymore, she lowers her eyebrows in front of her mother-in-law, fearing that she will really divorce her and go back to her mother's house if she is offended again.If she was really abandoned by her husband's family and returned to her mother's house, and there was a sister-in-law at the other end of her mother's house, her sister-in-law would definitely not treat her as an abandoned woman who was divorced and returned to her mother's house.

Now that the family is separated, they have the land and the silver in their hands. Just wait for the uncle's family to move out, and she will never have to look at her mother-in-law's face in the future. She is stupid to let such a good life live.Isn't it just that if you endure these few days, you will have a good life in the future, thinking of Li Dahua like this makes you feel happy.

I heard that her nephew passed the county test and Li Dahua didn't take it seriously. No matter how much she kisses Li Sanbao, she is not her own son. When she gives birth to a son in the future, she will send him to study. It must be better than Li Sanbao's. , Li Dahua thought in her heart.

The son is still missing, it doesn't matter whether the child will be a boy or a girl, even if he really gave birth to a boy, it is really uncertain whether he will be able to read, so Li Dahua is daydreaming all day long .

But people in this family don't like to see this Li Dahua very much.

While telling his family that he had passed the county exam, Li Wen also told his family about his decision to take the government exam in April, so he had to prepare for the exam during this period.

"Grandson studies hard, grandma doesn't understand these things, but grandma believes that my good grandson will definitely be able to give grandma one of the best talents back. Later grandma will have someone kill two chickens for my grandson to make up for my health. "Hearing what the grandson said, Li Wang ordered the elder brother's family to catch a chicken and kill it tonight to make up for the good grandson.

In the past, Li Wang's chickens were reluctant to kill and eat. The family relied on a few old hens to lay eggs and sell them for a few dollars. Now the eggs in the family are reluctant to sell them for their grandchildren. Willing to kill to make up for my good grandson.

Seeing that his grandma was happy, Li Wen didn't want to repay his grandma's kindness, just kill the chicken and then raise it back.Now that his mother is pregnant, she needs nutrition, so if she kills one, kill one, and later he will ask his father to buy a few more.

keep.

In the evening, their family killed an old hen to make soup, and the family's stomach was full of oil and water.

Turning around, Li Wen tried on the new clothes and shoes that A Niang made for him, and they were just right.

The next day, everyone in Lijia Village knew that Li Sanbao had passed the county examination and was also the first in the county examination.

As the head of the village, Li Mao knew that the grandson of Li Wang's family had passed the county exam, and he was the leader of the county exam. Although his youngest son, Xiulin, also passed the county exam, his family's Xiulin was at the end. Yes, there is a difference between the beginning and the end.His youngest son, Xiulin, failed the government examination twice after that. This year is the third time he is going to take the exam again. I don't know if he can pass this time.

"Bless the ancestors, our Li family is really going to produce a scholar." The elders of the Li family knew that Li Sanbao had won the county examination, and they all said that the ancestors blessed them. It seems that their Li family The family is really going to produce a scholar this time.

There are so many people in the county test every year, and only one can get the first place, which is amazing.

"This Li Sanbao did not even reach the age of ten, but he got such good grades in the exam. His future is boundless.

"That's right, we used to say that Li Xiulin was the Wenqu star descending to earth, but I think we all misjudged this. I'm afraid that Li Sanbao is the Wenqu star descending to earth."

"Yeah yeah."

They used to say that Li Mao's youngest son, Li Xiulin, was a student. It seems that this statement needs to be changed.It seems that Li Sanbao, the grandson of the Li Wang family, is the real Wenqu star descending to earth, and they all misjudged him.

Hearing what everyone said, even if Li Mao felt uncomfortable in his heart, he couldn't show it on his face, even though it was true.As the head of the clan, Li Mao is also a member of the Li family. Li Mao naturally hopes that in Lijia Village, their Li family can produce a scholar, no matter whether this person is his son or Li Sanbao. Or someone else.

Passed the county examination at the age of less than ten years old, and still won the first place. This child is really unimaginable in the future!

The elders of the clan gathered together to discuss this matter. There was such a scholar in their clan. As the elders of the Li family, they naturally wanted to show something. Sending some gifts to the Li Wang family, yes Everyone has no opinion on this.

This time, not only the village chief came to the door of their house, but even the elders of the clan came. Mrs. Li hurriedly asked her son to invite everyone to sit in the house.

The two Li Shanshan brothers greeted the elders to sit down, and sat beside them. Li Shanshan knew that the elders in the clan must have come to their house because of his son.

"We all heard that Sanbao passed the county examination and won the first place in the county examination. We are very happy to have such an outstanding child among the descendants." Uncle Qi came with everyone today In Li Wang's family, when it comes to such outstanding talents among the descendants, they are all honored.

The elders in the clan all praised Li Sanbao as a man who could read, and he would come down to earth one by one, and he would definitely be a scholar in the future.

"At that time, our Lijia Village will have a scholar. When I go underground to meet the old ancestors, I can have something to say in front of the ancestors." Even the ancestors will be very happy when they hear the news. .

Some elders said that such a major event happened in their clan, and they wanted to open the ancestral hall, offer incense to the ancestors, and tell the ancestors the good news.

"Yes, we should tell our ancestors." Everyone echoed.

Hearing the clan elders boasting about their grandson, Li Wang's face showed a rare smile.

"There is such a scholar in our Li family, do we want to set up a few tables for the big guys to eat and celebrate?" An elder in the clan asked, for such an honorable event, we should set up a few tables for dinner, please everyone Come to eat, but also to show off in front of outsiders that there is a scholar in their Lijia Village.

"As it should be."

Hearing what everyone was discussing, Li Shanshan said aloud, "Thanks to Uncle Seven, Grandpa Third, Grandpa Four, and all the other uncles, I thank everyone here for mentioning the Three Treasures of the Little One. The Three Treasures for the Little One was lucky enough to pass the exam." A county exam should not be boasted by everyone. The opening of the ancestral hall is such a big event, and the child has just passed a small county exam. How can the three treasures be worthy of opening the ancestral hall, not bad."

"It's better to wait until the Three Treasures pass the exam to come back as a scholar. Let's open the ancestral hall and offer incense, and it's never too late to tell the ancestors. Another thing, the boy forgot to tell the elders. Yesterday, the Three Treasures told the family that he had tried it in the county this time. Yes, so Sambo wants to continue to take the exam next month."

What Li Shanshan meant was that his son just passed a small county exam, so it is not necessary to open the ancestral hall to inform the ancestors. It is better to wait until his son has passed the examination of the scholar in the future, and then open the ancestral hall to inform the ancestors. for more

The ancestors are happy.

Also, his son still needs to prepare for the exam, so there is no need for the rest of the banquet to celebrate. It is better to let his son study hard and prepare for the exam.

"Is this true?" Seventh Uncle asked when he heard that Li Sanbao would still be taking part in the government examination next month.

Sun Tzu told his family about this, and Li Wang also knew about it, "It's true, Sambo told us about it."

So when everyone knew that Li Sanbao would continue to take the next government test, everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. They were going to take the next test just after that, and some people were worried whether Li Sanbao would take it this time. Can't pass the exam.

But they all knew that it was not good to distract Li Sanbao at this time, so these things were postponed for later.Maybe one day Li Sanbao really came back from the examination of a scholar, and then they would open the ancestral hall to offer incense and tell the ancestors that they would not be late.

Li Shanshan kept all the gifts from everyone. As for the silver taels that the village head gave to their family on behalf of the people in the clan, Li Shanshan didn't take it. I can't ask for it. If our family is really in trouble in the future, the boy will definitely tell his uncles."

The life of everyone in the village is not easy, everyone lives tightly in their hands, so he really can't take the money.

That being the case, Li Mao took back the silver, and everyone didn't keep any more.

Li Shanshan sent the elders of the clan out for A Niang, and thanked, "When the boy's new house is built, the boy will definitely set up a few tables of meals, and invite the seventh uncle, third grandpa, fourth grandpa, and many other uncles to have a drink. "

"So good."

"Okay, we will all come then."

For a while, the people in the village changed from saying that Li Xiulin was descended from the Wenqu star to saying that Li Sanbao went to descend to the world from the Wenqu star.Zhu Jinqiao heard these words outside, and went home with a grim expression, hum, everyone is blind, when my family Xiulin passed the examination of scholar, you will definitely regret it!
