Dong Ruixin smiled bitterly, lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

"My chances for this exam are also slim, so I'm going to go back first. Brother Yue is pregnant at home, so I don't feel relieved."

Tang Xiaofu and Zhao Xiangbei looked at each other.

Hastily said: "Otherwise, Brother Dong will wait here for a few days, and we will have someone to take care of us on the way back together. Brother Yue's mother Li and the village chief's family Zhou are both there, so it should be fine. You go on the road alone, and the journey will be fine. It’s far away, so it’s inevitable that the family will worry.”

Mr. Tang listened to it and nodded his head.

"Ruixin, the time is ripe for the rural examination in three years' time. The journey back here is mostly dense forest, so why not go together, that is, for an extra ten days or so." Seeing everyone's persuasion, Dong Ruixin followed the trend Nod.

The Tang family didn't mention the township exam either. It was really exhausting for the two of them to spend nine days in the Gongyuan for the township exam.

After sleeping well for a few days, people gradually became more energetic.

There are many local scholars who have not left, waiting for the announcement.

Usually Tang Laosan would also accept some invitations from his classmates in the academy, and take Dong Ruixin to attend some poetry gatherings.

Since the last time Tang Laosan got advice from Mr. Lu Da by chance.

Mr. Lu Da quite agrees with his talent.

He was invited to the mansion several times to test and teach knowledge.

Seeing that he has solid knowledge, speech, manners, and conduct, he likes him very much, so he wants to accept Tang Laosan as a disciple.

Accepting apprentices in ancient times was an extremely important matter.

Since ancient times, the kings, relatives and teachers of heaven and earth have to perform the ceremony of prostration, so it can be seen that the master is almost equal to the parents.

However, Mr. Lu Da is well-educated and well-connected. He is a rare great Confucian in this world. He was able to accept Tang Laosan as a student for the first time. Tang Laosan was naturally overjoyed.

Immediately knelt down and recognized the teacher.

After Mr. Tang found out about this, he was also extremely happy.

Together with Tang Xiaofu, I organized a decent ceremony for appreciating teachers, and together with Mr. Tang, I came to worship Mr. Lu Da as my teacher.

Mr. Lu Da also attaches great importance to this little apprentice.

He set up a banquet and invited the masters of the academy, as well as his former friends, it was considered a bright road.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, the government released the list.

Early in the morning, Zhao Xiangbei and Tang Xiaofu followed Tang Laosan and Dong Ruixin to the teahouse next to the official residence.

I deliberately spent more money and booked a private seat by the window on the second floor, so I can see the red list posted downstairs at a glance.

At this moment, the three floors below and the three floors outside are surrounded by people, four big-armed government servants, carrying a large wooden tray with red paper inside.

Several people came to the public notice board, and one of them, a tall and thin yamen servant, knocked on the gong three times and said loudly: "Post the list! Idlers wait, back off!"

The crowd hushed out of the way.

Those yamen servants also raised their chests and raised their heads, and slowly pasted the red paper in their hands on the public notice board, and then turned and left after beating the gongs and drums three times.

The yamen servant left the public notice board, and the crowd rushed past with a whimper.

At this moment, Tang Laosan and Dong Ruixin could no longer hold back their anxiety, they had already rushed downstairs and squeezed into the crowd.

Tang Xiaofu was also very excited as if he was beating gongs and drums. He sat by the window, nodded his feet, and looked at the public notice board.

"Xiangbei, take a quick look and see if there is the third brother's name."

Zhao Xiangbei was already a master of martial arts, but after practicing the health-preserving exercises, his five senses became even more acute.

At a glance, he saw that the 12th place on the list was Tang Laosan's name.

He hurriedly turned around and grabbed Tang Xiaofu's hand, and said happily, "The third brother has won the 12th place."

"Ah!!! I hit it!"

Tang Xiaofu cheered and stood up, not to mention how happy he was.

There were bursts of cheers from the crowd below, but there were those who were on the list, and naturally there were also those who were not.

There was a scholar with white hair who still failed the ranking, and even covered his face and wept.

How many are happy, how many are sad

For a moment, all living beings were in various states, and Tang Xiaofu, who watched it, was also deeply moved.

But at this moment Tang Xiaofu was very excited, threw a few copper coins for tea money, and dragged Zhao Xiangbei downstairs in a hurry.

I happened to see Tang Laosan and Dong Ruixin, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd, their clothes were all wrinkled, and the hairpins on their heads were almost squeezed out.

Tang Xiaofu chuckled: "Third brother, I always told you to wait in the tea house, why bother to squeeze in. Now we have to go back to the small courtyard quickly, otherwise it will be bad if we don't give rewards if we come to announce the good news later gone."

Tang Laosan scratched his head at this moment, and smiled with big white teeth, bright eyes, and a look of happiness.

Everyone realized later that Dong Ruixin next to him was full of desolation.

He smiled wryly when he saw the crowd.

"I had expected that I would lose my name to Sun Shan. I must study hard when I go back. I would like to join Qiu Wei after three years."

Tang Laosan didn't say much comforting words, and stepped forward to pat Dong Ruixin on the shoulder.

"I have a lot of books there, and there are also some annotations from the academy master's lectures. If you need it, you may wish to take it back and copy a copy."

Dong Ruixing's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he quickly cupped his hands and gave Tang Laosan a deep salute.

"Thank you Brother Tang."

You must know that among scholars, books are extremely precious things, and ancient books are expensive, even if good classmates and friends can borrow books, it is a very humane thing.

Everyone didn't say much, and after getting into the carriage, they hurried back to the rented courtyard.

It's just that due to the crowd's delay, the officials who didn't announce the good news ran fast.

Two officials came into the house with gongs to announce the good news, and said good things in the yard.

He just smiled at Mr. Tang's happy brows, and quickly took out two pieces of silver from his bosom, and rewarded the two yamen servants.

The two yamen servants weighed their hands, and they had [-] to [-] percent of the silver in their hands, and the joy was even more joyful.

When they saw Tang Xiaofu and they came back, they immediately saw Tang Laosan was full of bookishness and joy, so they started blowing rainbow farts.

"Presumably this is Tang Juren. Congratulations to Tang Ju. He is a talented person, well-educated, and will definitely be named on the gold list in the future, and the top three in high school."

Everyone loves to hear good words.

Tang Xiaofu really saw the two of them boasting so much, his third brother was a little embarrassed and at a loss.

Only then did he take out another bunch of copper coins and give it to the boastful yamen servant, and then sent the two of them away.

The Tang family was very happy, and Tang Xiaofu quickly supported Mr. Tang and said happily, "Father, now you can get what you want. Third brother won the Juren this time, and you will be proud in the village in the future." Tang At this moment, the old man squinted his old eyes in joy, and his face was full of joy.

"It's really a blessing from the ancestors! Blessings from the ancestors! Let's hurry up and prepare to go back as soon as possible, so as to announce the good news to your mother. The family knows that Sanlang has passed the exam, so there must be a flowing banquet."

Mr. Tang is very happy at the moment, but he is old, and Tang Xiaofu is afraid that he will be too happy and hurt his body.

So he secretly brewed tea, added a lot of spiritual spring water in it, and let the old man drink it, so that he could feel relieved.

Seeing that Mr. Tang kept smiling and pulling the third brother to tell him about going back to the hometown to worship the ancestors and hold the water banquet.

Tang Xiaofu also followed Le's smile.

I don't know if it's summer these days, the weather is extremely hot.

Last year's scorching heat made Tang Xiaofu a little scared.

There are a lot of items in Fucheng. Tang Xiaofu also saw saltpeter a while ago.

Now that I have read so many time-travel novels, I am no stranger to time-travel TV series to make ice with saltpeter.

In the afternoon, as the sun went down a little, Tang Xiaofu and Zhao Xiangbei went out together.

I bought a lot of food in Fucheng, and bought a few pieces of local characteristic fabrics, and I am going to go back to make clothes.

After staying in Fucheng for another two days, after everything was cleaned up, they moved out of the courtyard with the owner, and Tang Xiaofu and his party were ready to go back to the village.

During this period of time, Zhao Momo helped clean and cook in the small courtyard. He did his best and was very honest and honest.

Tang Xiaofu took the initiative to give Zhao Momo some of the things added in the small courtyard that he couldn't take back.

I still got a lot of gratitude from the other party, and the return journey was different from the anxiety and tension when I came here, even with a bit of joy.

It is said that spring breeze is proud of horseshoe disease, and returning home from high school is naturally a joy in my heart.

The journey along the way seems to be less tiring.

When the group returned to the village, Dong Ruixin got out of the car first, bid farewell to everyone and went home.

Only then did the members of the Tang family enter the small courtyard.

The yard is still the same, but the vines have long been green and fruit-bearing, and the purple grapes are hanging on the full vines, which looks so mouth-watering.

Seeing the crowd coming back, Mrs. Li hurriedly greeted them in surprise and took a look.Tang Xiaofu looked at Tang Laosan again, and said with red eyes: "I'm getting thinner, the children have suffered a lot, and the road is full of dust and dust, come in quickly, and I'll make braised pork for you at night, and I'm killing a chicken, Make up for it."

Tang Xiaofu hugged Mrs. Li's arm, looked at Tang Laosan with a smile, and said with a mysterious face, "Mm, don't you want to know how the third brother did in the country test?"

Mrs. Li didn't want to ask, she had been thinking about it just now, but she didn't dare to ask immediately after seeing everyone, for fear that the child would be sad.

So he scolded Tang Xiaofu with a smile, and patted the back of his hand.

"Are you kid still playing tricks on your mother? Say it quickly, don't worry about it."

Tang Xiaofu smiled, and took a look, third brother, he looked like Mrs. Li again.

"Of course, the third brother should go to wash with you in person."

Youngest Tang lifted up his clothes and knelt down in front of Mrs. Li and Mr. Tang, kowtowed three times, and said with reddened eyes, "Son, I thank my parents for their kindness in nurturing me for so many years. Today I won the honor of being a candidate."

The eyes of Mrs. Li and Mr. Tang instantly turned red, and the tears on Mrs. Li's face couldn't help but burst out of their eyes.

"Mum's Saburo, you have passed the Juren exam. It's really a manifestation of your ancestors, a manifestation of your ancestors. Good, good, great, I'm going now. I can also be worthy of the ancestors of the Tang family."
