After crossing, I spoil my husband

Early the next morning, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan went directly to the yamen for a while.

They mainly wanted to see how long it would take from Uncle Hu's house to the Yamen.This also determines when they will leave on the day of the exam. Of course, at that time, it must be earlier, and there must be a queue on the day.

"This Xu Yin Mansion really has a lot of people here."

Xu Youan looked around and found that there were really many students near the yamen.

"The next state examination and government examination will gather people from the entire Xuyin Mansion."

Fu Mingyou was thoughtful. In this case, it means that he wants to put in more effort to achieve a certain ranking in the government examination.

Only the top [-] in the government examination can become a scholar.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan turned around, and then went back directly.

After the two returned to Uncle Hu's house, they did not rest, but picked up the books and started studying.

In front of the yamen just now, they saw quite a few scholars, and those who passed the county examination were more or less talented.

Both the state test and the government test were taken for two days. Uncle Hu also knew that the two of them had to concentrate on preparing for the test, and he also told his grandson not to disturb them, and he was also very attentive in eating.

When the state examination really came, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan carried their baskets and walked towards the examination room.

People from various counties came for the state examination. Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan came to the examination room of Xu Yinfu and began to line up.

There were quite a few people in the surrounding five feet, and many of them came to send for the exam, but because they could not affect the order of the exam, everyone obeyed the order very much and stood not far away.

Zhuzi and Heizi were also there. They sent Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan aside and waited outside.

For this exam, they still can't come out until two days later.

The state test was stricter than the county test. All the pastries that Fu Mingyou brought were broken into pieces. Fortunately, the things he brought this time were all broken, so they were okay.

After entering, Xu Youan and Fu Mingyou were in different places.

"Why are you here to invigilate the exam this year?"

Mo Wen, the magistrate of Xuyin Mansion, took a sip of tea, looked at Lin Weisheng, the dean of the Imperial Academy, who was also the dean of the Hanlin Academy, and said.

Lin Weisheng smiled and said, "It's because it's interesting."

As His Majesty's teacher, of course Lin Weisheng also knew about Fu Mingyou. When he learned about Fu Mingyou from his friend Chen Dada, he became very curious and took the initiative to ask Ying to come to Xuyin Mansion to invigilate the exam.

"Tsk." Mo Wen glanced at Lin Weisheng, smiled, and his meaning was unclear: "I really don't know who is missed by you, let's mourn for him."

Lin Weisheng glanced at him, put down his teacup directly: "It's time to go."

The scientific examination was of great importance. This time there were five examiners, and Lin Weisheng was the chief examiner at the same time.

When the gong rang, the test papers began to be distributed.

Having been tutored by Master Meng for a month before, Fu Mingyou really felt that he had improved a bit.

When he got the test paper, he glanced at it and realized that the state test this time was indeed more difficult than the county test.

But for Fu Mingyou, it was okay, and for Xu Youan, it was nothing.

The two are really learned people, and they take the exam seriously.

Fu Mingyou cleaned up his examination room carefully, then he settled down and began to answer the questions.

Fu Mingyou's questions are very standardized, and he usually finishes the ones he is best at first.

Writing by dictation and arithmetic, these are what Fu Mingyou is good at.

To be honest, Fu Mingyou felt that there was still enough time for the scientific examination. After all, he was a person who had experienced the college entrance examination. It took two hours to write a paper. For students, this is very common.

After spending two hours, Fu Mingyou finished writing all the parts that needed to be silently written, and then touched his somewhat empty stomach. After thinking about it, he decided to eat first.

This time, he prepared a lot of food, including super delicious pickles made by Aunt Li, spicy strips, and marinated vegetables... In short, after heating, the aroma instantly created in the entire examination room.

When Fu Mingyou was eating delicious food, the people around him were called torturers. They smelled the fragrance and then ate the dry food they prepared, and it suddenly tasted bad.

"Who eats it so delicious?"

"Ahhh, so sad and indignant."

"It smells so good, I really want to eat it."

The people around could not help swallowing when they smelled the aroma in the air.

Fu Mingyou ate a delicious lunch, then closed his eyes and rested for a quarter of an hour.

Sufficient rest time can make Fu Mingyou's mind clearer.

Like Fu Mingyou, many people answered the questions very seriously for two days. The food Xu Youan brought was the same as that of Fu Mingyou. Therefore, after two days, the two of them not only did not look haggard like the others, but their faces were flushed. , It doesn't look like someone who took the state test at a glance.

"Two young masters."

When Heizi and Zhuzi saw the two people coming out, they immediately went up to meet them.

Fu Mingyou touched his somewhat empty stomach: "Brother Xu, I'm hungry, how about you?"

"me too."

Xu Youan nodded, then looked at Heizi and Zhuzi beside him: "Let's go back first."

After everyone returned to the small courtyard of the Hu family, Mr. Hu had already prepared the meals. When he saw them coming back, his eyes lit up: "You guys are back, and the meals are all ready."

Knowing that the two young masters had worked hard in the scientific examination, they prepared a table of meals.

"It's hard work, Hu Lao."

After Fu Mingyou came back, he saw a table of food and said with a smile.

The food made by the other party tastes very good, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to support my grandson by myself.

After dinner, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan glanced at each other, returned to their room at the same time, and then silently wrote down what they had written.

As before, after the two finished writing, they exchanged and revised each other.

"Brother Xu, there is nothing wrong with your arithmetic this time."

The first thing Fu Mingyou looked at was Xu Youan's arithmetic. This is when the opponent is most likely to make mistakes.

Among the questions in the entire exam, the score of policy theory is the most difficult to estimate, and the others are fine.

"Your policy theory this time is also well written. If the teacher finds out, he will be very happy."

Xu Youan smiled and said softly.

The two looked at each other and put down the test papers in their hands.

"This time, it should be fine."

"should be no problem."

The state test was over, and all the test papers were sealed and sent to the examiner.

In the next three days, it was time for everyone to correct the papers. For Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan, it was a comfortable early sleep, and then they went directly to Xu Yin's mansion.

Xuyin Mansion is much bigger than Yuanyang County, Xu Youan brought 100 taels this time.

The money given to Mr. Hu before was all from Fu Mingyou, and Xu Youan wanted to give it to the other party, but the other party did not agree.

"Brother Fu, what do you want to buy?"

Xu Youan looked at the bustling Xu Yin Mansion and asked with a smile.

Fu Mingyou glanced at him: "Of course I have to buy things for my family, Xixi, and the baby, Brother Xu, I have a family."

Xu Youan twitched the corner of his mouth: "You don't need to remind me of this again."

Brother Fu is really good at everything, but he likes to show affection.

"what are you looking for?"

Fu Mingyou looked at him and asked with a smile.

Xu You'an thought for a while, then raised his lips and smiled: "It's rare to come here and bring something to the house."

"Let's go, let's go shopping, there is plenty of time next."

Fu Mingyou said with a smile, anyway, they still have time in the future, and the results have not yet come out, so it is worthwhile to come here to take advantage of these few days to take a good stroll.

After the two discussed it, they took Heizi and Zhuzi for a stroll.

The things in Xuyin Mansion are good, but they are also more expensive than Yuanyang County.

Xu Youan had limited funds, so he just bought a silver hairpin and silver earring pendant for his mother, a tiara and bracelet for his younger sister, and a jade crown for his father.

Fu Mingyou bought a lot of things, since he came, of course he had to take all the good things back.

As for the budget, the wealthy Fu Mingyou said that if there is no budget, if you see something you want to buy, you will buy it directly.

"Brother Xu, do you think this looks good?"

Fu Mingyou found a pair of super beautiful and cute little silver bracelets in a silver jewelry store, and thought it would be perfect for an unborn baby.

Xu Youan looked at the pair of small silver bracelets in front of him and smiled: "It's very beautiful, you can buy it for the little baby."

In fact, when Fu Mingyou was shopping, he also bought a small silver lock, quietly, without letting the other party know.

Fu Mingyou also thought it looked good, so he asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up.

Now Xia Yanxi's stomach is six months old, and there are still four months left, and she is almost ready to give birth.

So for the next period of time, Fu Mingyou decided to stay with him at home.

Fortunately, after the new emperor came to the throne, the government examination was directly transferred to the year before the year, so as to avoid the coldness of the year after the year from affecting the performance of the candidates.

After wandering the streets for an hour, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan returned with a full load.

Because it was a rented house, Mr. Hu's grandson and grandson were pretty good these days, and Fu Mingyou also brought a pastry for the other's grandson.

Mr. Hu took the pastry from Fu Mingyou's hand and couldn't help thanking him.

Three days later in the morning, the people from the county government posted the ranking on the bulletin board this time.

Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan sat in the inn drinking tea, looked at each other, and did not rush forward.

There are too many people at this time, and they will pass by in a while.

Of course, Zhuzi and Heizi couldn't wait any longer, and rushed towards the crowd.

Although the two of them are not book boys, they asked Fu Mingyou and them about the six characters Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan in advance.

"Zizhu, Zhuzi, there are two young masters."

Heizi held a piece of paper in his hand, on which were the names of two people.

Since they are illiterate, they can only recognize the word little by little.

"I saw it too, I saw it too."

Zhu Zi checked the strokes carefully, and immediately ran towards Fu Mingyou and the others with Heizi.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Master Xu, you have passed the exam."

Heizi ran over and said excitedly, "Young master Xu is No.2, and you are No.5, young master."

After hearing this, Xu You'an glanced at Fu Mingyou: "It seems that Xu Yinfu really has a lot of capable people."

He took the No.1 exam before, but this time he only got No.2.

"You can be satisfied."

Fu Mingyou glanced at him, and said with a smile: "It's just that I really thought you could take the No. 1 exam before, but now I suddenly want to know who pushed you past."

"Brother Fu, your expectations of me are too high, right?"

Xu Youan smiled helplessly, looked at him and said.

Fu Mingyou took a sip of tea calmly: "Come on, let's go and have a look."

The top three test papers will be announced, and he is really curious about what kind of people who can pass Xu Youan's exam are like.

Xu Youan didn't refuse, and went out with the other party directly.

There are still many people near the bulletin board. With their height, the two of them are almost three meters away, and they can still see the words on the bulletin board.

"Aha, brother Xu, this man's strategy is really wonderful."

Fu Mingyou didn't read Xu Youan's policy theory, he had read it before, but this No.1 policy theory is very good.

Xu Youan also smiled, curling the corners of his mouth: "It's really very good."

He read the opponent's test paper and was convinced.

The other party not only writes very beautifully, but also has a rigorous logic of policy theory, which matches the title very well.

"Go, go back and read a book."

Fu Mingyou stretched out his hand and patted Xu Youan's shoulder, and then joked in a low voice: "Try to get higher in the exam in the government."

Xu Youan knew what the other party meant, and smiled: "Then go back, but Brother Fu, you have to work harder."

No.5 is good, but not in the top three.

You know, if you can get the top three in the government test, it will be good.

Fu Mingyou smiled: "That's necessary, but this kind of thing is just a matter of fate. Originally, Lin and his son just planned to let me try the county test. It's unexpected to come here."

If Fu Mingyou passed the county examination, passed the state examination, and participated in the next government examination, Master Lin would be very excited if he found out.

"Then brother Fu has to work harder."

Xu You'an said with a smile, he learned the word "refueling" from Fu Mingyou. He didn't know how to use it at first, but now he can say it casually.

After the two of them finished reading, they took their certificates and went straight back to Hu's house.

Mr. Hu was also looking forward to the results of the two of them. After seeing them come back, he asked expectantly, "How did the two young masters do in the exam?"

"Uncle Hu, my young master took fifth place in the exam, and young master Xu took second place in the exam."

Heizi stood aside and said to Mr. Hu.

When Uncle Hu heard this, he immediately cupped his hands at the two of them: "Overjoyed, congratulations to the two young masters, the next two young masters will definitely be able to pass the exam."

I didn't expect these two young masters to be so knowledgeable, they are really amazing.

Fu Mingyou smiled: "Then I will borrow a good word from Uncle Hu."

At noon, Uncle Hu cooked a very sumptuous lunch to celebrate the two young masters entering the next government examination.

The government test is just two days away, and next, Fu Mingyou and Xu Youan still need to make careful preparations.
