Three, four, five, county test

I don't know how Hongluo explained to Chenshuang and the others, in short, after lunch, Hongluo said goodbye to Luo Huanyan and went to Jiangning City Wharf with a small amount of luggage. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As soon as the red snail left, Luo Huanyan immediately sent a letter to Jing Zhi, who was far away in the capital, hesitated again and again, and explained the reason for the return of the red snail to Beijing to Jing Zhi in detail, and asked Jing Zhi to help take more care.

After seeing Fu Shi hand over the letter to the chief housekeeper of the Shen Mansion and order him to send someone to send the letter to the capital quickly, Luo Huanyan breathed a sigh of relief.

Back in Fengmingji, Luo Huanyan's whole person was paralyzed. I never thought that Hongluo would return to the capital alone, Luo Huanyan felt that her surroundings were empty all of a sudden, and she was accompanied by Chenshuang every step of the way, but she still felt cold and lonely, and the whole person looked listless.

Until the early morning of the ninth day of August, Luo Huanyan had to cheer up, and in the dark, together with Fu Shi and others, Luo Jizong and Shen Kun were sent out of the house.

There are three county exams, each one day, limited to the same day to be handed in, and no candles will be given. After the candidates finished the papers, they opened the dragon gate in batches, but despite this, Luo Jizong and Shen Kun could not rush back to Shen's house, but temporarily lived in an inn not far from the county government's examination shed.

Because the first admission is more relaxed, those who are fluent in writing can be admitted, and those who are admitted have been allowed to take the government examination. Those who are the first of the three cases can directly obtain the qualification of children and take the hospital examination in February of the following year. Therefore, it is up to the candidates to decide whether to continue to participate in the following sessions.

Of course, those who are not admitted in the first session will not be able to take the second exam, and those who are poor in writing will also be eliminated, so the number of people who can be admitted in the last session is very small.

Luo Huanyan knew that Luo Jizong and Shen Kun would have no problem in the first game, but she didn't know how many they could get the first game, although before leaving Beijing, Luo Zhenyuan repeatedly explained to Luo Jizong, there is no need to force too much, as long as you pass the government examination to obtain the qualification of a child.

The two brothers, Shen Yu and Shen Xuan, bowed to Fu and the others after Luo Jizong and Shen Kun got into the carriage, and then followed. Yue Yue also carried Luo Jizong's examination basket and sat on the wheel with Shen Kun's little guy.

Luo Jizong and his entourage soon disappeared into the night, and Luo Huanyan listened to the sound of horses' hooves getting farther and farther away, but her heart became nervous.

Fortunately, both of them lived up to expectations, not only did they pass three exams along the way, but on the 14th day of the case, although both of them failed to win the first place in the case and obtained the qualification to directly participate in the hospital examination across the provincial examination, they also entered the top ten and won the honor of the top ten in the county.

Although it was only a county test, when Fu Shi got the news, he still breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to be relieved.

Luo Wanyan keenly found that her hand holding her aunt Fu's arm was grabbed tightly by her, and her eyes were red, and her little aunt Zheng and eldest cousin Zeng also quietly pressed the corners of their eyes, and the entire Shen Mansion and even the maid and wife were extremely excited, and they couldn't stop saluting and congratulating.

Luo Huanyan listened to the auspicious words of those maids and mothers-in-law, and couldn't help but feel funny in her heart, but she listened to her aunt Fu, and sighed softly at this time: "It's not easy, our Shen family, finally have to produce a scholar!" There was a faint choking in that voice.

Luo Huanyan knew that her uncle was a family of businessmen, and it would be a lot of waste to let Shen Kun go to the children's exam, but she didn't expect her aunt and others to be so excited.

When Luo Huanyan sighed and wondered, Fu Shi laughed loudly: "Ming'er is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now our house can be described as a double happiness. ”

As soon as these words came out, the maids became more and more excited, and they saluted again to thank them. Luo Wanyan was a little at a loss for a while, this child qualification has not been obtained yet! Even if she has obtained it, hasn't it just made a start?

Fu Shi didn't notice Luo Wanyan's abnormality at all, only patted her hand, and said happily: "Jizong also did very well in the exam this time, just like Brother Kun, one person will be rewarded with one hundred taels, and they will make it!"

Seeing this, Luo Huanyan hurriedly dissuaded: "How can there be such a reason? It's just a county exam, and this child's qualification hasn't been obtained yet, so the money will be in hand first?"

Zeng, who was on the side, heard Luo Huanyan say this, and couldn't help but say with a smile on his face: "It's worth it, why isn't it worth it? It's not easy to get the top ten in the county." ”

As soon as Zeng's voice fell, his little aunt Zheng also nodded and said, "Wan Yan doesn't know how difficult this is for our family." At the end, Zheng's tears couldn't help but fall, and he quickly turned his head to wipe them away.

Aunt Fu let go of Luo Huanyan's hand, turned around and patted Zheng's shoulder, and said with relief: "It's all right, it will only get better and better in the future, and on the day of great joy, don't shed tears." Having said that, Fu's eyes were also full of tears.

In order not to let the tears flow, Fu Shi hurriedly looked up at the exceptionally clear sky. Luo Wanyan was a little dazed for a while, and she didn't know how to comfort her two aunts who loved her very much, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

When Luo Wanyan was at a loss, Shen Chuxue took her arm and explained in a suppressed voice: "Wanyan doesn't know, this is the hope of many generations in our house. Since the generation of my great-grandfather, the rule has been set that the property in the clan can only be inherited by the head of the clan, and the best qualified person is selected from the side branch, and the fame of the donation makes him enter the scientific examination. ”

Hearing this, Luo Huanyan couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Could it be that this generation is Brother Kun?" and then nodded and said: "Brother Kun has also studied hard, and now he has achieved good results, no wonder my aunt is happy." ”

Luo Wanyan didn't say it, after listening to Shen Chuxue's words, she felt more and more surprised in her heart, if this is really the case, in fact, the second cousin and the third cousin can only be regarded as a side branch in the future, after all, they are not qualified to inherit the family business, so why......

Luo Huanyan didn't ask, but Fu Shi heard the conversation between Shen Chuxue and Luo Huanyan, and sighed and said, "This generation is your cousin!"

With just this sentence, the joy on Fu's face disappeared, Shen Chuxue didn't dare to say anything more when she saw this, and Luo Huanyan didn't want to ask again.

Zheng patted the back of Fu's hand and said with relief: "Why should sister-in-law be angry with them anymore? Now that this is the case, I believe that the eldest brother and Brother Wei also know it in their hearts, so we don't have to worry about it." ”

Although Zheng's words were comforting to Fu's, the corners of his eyes couldn't help but sweep towards Zeng's. Seeing this, Zeng smiled and nodded: "Mother and aunt should relax, the uncle said before, our Shen family's century-old family business does not depend on one family, let alone one person." ”

Fu Shi heard Zeng Shi say this, looked back at her with satisfaction and nodded and smiled, Zeng Shi saw that this smile became more and more bright, and then said: "At that time, only the two brothers were helpless, and now our family is prosperous, no matter which brother is in the future, as long as there is that heart, the uncle and daughter-in-law will fully support them." ”

Luo Huanyan turned the words of several people in her heart, and roughly guessed, that is, she was happy for her aunt and felt sorry for her uncle. Thinking about it, there have been a lot of turmoil over this matter in the past, especially since Luo Huanyan has been in Jiangning for several months, and she has never even seen her cousin's family during the Dragon Boat Festival, let alone heard anyone mention it.

I remember that on the way here, my aunt mentioned it once, saying that the two families don't have much contact now, and it must have something to do with Brother Kun'er's entrance exam......
