Volume 1, Chapter 76: Second Class (I)
Three days later, the scientific examination was completed. The servant took Tingli and Tingyi back, and when they came back, the two fell asleep, which is the usual practice, and the candidates for the three days of the scientific examination went home to sleep.
After waking up and asking for two days, Tingyi shook his head directly, saying that there was no hope. Tingli didn't say anything, making people unsure whether they passed the test or not.
Moh's face was pale, not sad or happy, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking, which was in stark contrast to the restlessness of the previous two days.
Lian Dongfang went to see the old lady and said to the old lady: "Mother, the court ceremony is not ready, even if the ranking is not too good, this time the main reason for him to get off the field is to let him get familiar with the scene, and wait for the next one to take the test." "If the eldest son takes the exam seriously, he will definitely be able to pass the exam, but the ranking will definitely not be very good.
The old lady nodded frequently: "Your concerns are right, Tingli is only sixteen years old now, even if he is nineteen years old in three years, don't worry." "It's better to wait three years than to get a bad ranking. If you are in the second grade, it is okay to say, but if you are in the third grade, you will regret it for the rest of your life.
Lian Dongfang told the old lady that it was also to not worry the old lady.
Tingli and Tingyi have already confirmed that there is no play, so the mansion is quiet, and there is not even a little tense atmosphere.
Mother Deng whispered: "It seems that the eldest young master and the second young master are more hanging. ”
Yue Yao smiled: "Now the results haven't come out yet*one*book*read*little* to say ybdu, don't talk nonsense." "In my memory, Tingli was admitted three years later, and Tingyi was admitted six years later, but he was already young at the age of twenty. Now the end of the game is completely to familiarize yourself with the scene and exercise your courage.
Compared with the calm of the Lian family, when Ma Peng saw the exam questions during the exam, he was so shocked that he almost fainted. Ma Peng forced himself to calm down and finish the exam questions, and when he came out to see Ma Chengteng after the exam, his face was extremely complicated, and even with a hint of trepidation.
Ma Chengteng asked people to help him to the carriage, and said in a low voice: "No matter how well you do in the exam, you will talk about everything when you go home." What this means is not to say anything now.
Ma Yuan looked at Ma Peng's appearance and knew that he had failed the test, but he didn't have any expectations, where is the young master's qualifications, the township test is a big luck, and there is no luck in the test.
Back at Mafu, the father and son entered the study before and after, and Ma Pengcai said incoherently: "Dad, the few questions you gave me before the exam are the exam questions this time." Dad, where did you get these exam questions? "Ma Peng couldn't hold back when he finished writing during the exam, but now he is worried.
Ma Chengteng looked at his son's expression and nodded in his heart: "How are you doing?" ”
Ma Peng was a little ashamed: "It's all done." Write the final revised one, but even if you pass the exam, it is cheating, thinking of this, Ma Peng is terrified: "Dad, will you be arrested?" Implication in fraud cases can lead to endless troubles. Until now, Ma Peng regrets it a little, he shouldn't have written it during the exam at that time, and it was better to hand in the blank paper than now.
Ma Chengteng stared at Ma Peng: "You didn't tell anyone about this, did you?" The reason why Ma Chengteng went to pick up his son in person was that he was worried that Ma Peng would talk nonsense after the exam, and he would go home as soon as he picked up his son at the door, and Ma Peng had no chance to talk nonsense to others.
Ma Peng hurriedly shook his head: "No, I didn't say anything." "Although some gentlemen can guess the exam questions, but that is very few, and at most they can only get one exam question right, but his father gives all the exam questions, where does he dare to tell others about such a big thing. When he left the examination room, his heart began to feel uneasy.
Ma Chengteng nodded: "That's good." "In fact, according to Ma Chengteng, Yueyao should have come over in person at that time, and one more person would know about it, but fortunately, Mrs. Deng could also trust it.
Ma Peng asked Aidi, "Dad, will there be trouble?" In fact, what Ma Peng wants to say more is how to get these exam questions.
Ma Chengteng looked at Ma Peng and said, "You want to ask, did my father buy these exam questions with money?" "Actually, anyone would have this question.
Ma Peng hesitated for a moment and said, "I think, these are all guessed by my father." ”
Ma Chengteng said with a smile: "You think your father is a god and can guess the questions of this scientific examination." "His son is really honest.
Ma Peng's complexion has changed and changed, it can't really be the exam questions that he spent money to buy! If this thing is leaked, even my father will be implicated: "Daddy ......" Ma Peng really regrets that his intestines are knotted now, and he would have handed in the white roll if he knew it.
Ma Chengteng looked at Ma Peng's face and knew what his son thought: "Don't worry, the exam questions have not been leaked, and your father has not spent money to buy the test questions." "In the past few years, the officials have been in the Qingming Dynasty, and there has never been a case of fraud in scientific examinations.
Ma Peng breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he didn't buy the test questions: "Dad, where did you get these test questions?" "It's not that I bought it, I didn't guess it, it fell from the sky.
Ma Chengteng looked at the blue sky outside through the window: "It's unbelievable to say, Dad had a dream before you came back, and I dreamed of your aunt." Your aunt gave me a dream, saying that you dragged Yueyao's blessing in the last township test, but you won't have such luck in the township test again. Your aunt also said that if you fail the exam this time, the Ma family will fail, so she told me the topic of this scientific exam. I thought it was just a dream, but the few questions your aunt told me were very clear, so I thought that anyway, there was little hope that you would pass the exam this time, so it would be better to give it a try. Unexpectedly, what your aunt gave was really an exam question. ”
Ma Peng's mouth has become an O-shape, it's not that Ma Peng is lonely and unheard, it's really incredible: "Dad, what do you mean...... Do you mean that your aunt told you these questions? "Is there anything more unbelievable? The chatter of God has come.
Ma Chengteng looked at Ma Peng: "You don't believe it? ”
Ma Peng nodded reflexively, realized that something was wrong and quickly shook his head.
Ma Chengteng also felt that this matter was incredible, but apart from this reason, he couldn't figure out where Yueyao got the test questions. Although it was a little beyond common sense, he still chose to believe it. The reason is very simple, Yueyao can't get the test questions: "Dad doesn't believe it either, but the few questions your aunt gave are exam questions." ”
Ma Peng nodded: "Dad, don't worry, I won't say it." That is, when you say it, others will not think it is true, but only think that he is cheating. Of course, he is indeed a fraud.
Ma Chengteng is still very relieved about his son, his son is not smart but reliable, and nodded at the moment: "Your aunt Jiuquan is worried about you, you will take good care of Yueyao in the future to repay your aunt's kindness to you." The reason why Ma Chengteng didn't say Yueyao was just in case.
Ma Chengteng didn't think there would be any big problems, the article was made by Ma Peng, and the inappropriate places were also revised by Ma Peng himself, they just took a lead. With Ma Peng's literary talent, he will not be too advanced in the exam. So even if it is an accident, it will not be too eye-catching, not to mention that there will be a three-yuan and first-class Yu Zida in this department, and when everyone pays attention to him, the impact of this matter on his son will definitely be much smaller.
Ma Peng listened attentively.
Ma Chengteng said again: "When you come back, everyone looks at you and is depressed, you go back to sleep now, don't show joy these days." Peng'er, this matter is known to our father and son, and we can't let the third person know about it. Otherwise, it's going to get into trouble, remember? ”
Ma Peng's temperament is honest and honest, but he is not stupid, he is still measured in what he should say and what he should not say: "Dad, don't worry, I won't say a word to others." ”
Ma Chengteng asked him to go back to the yard.
After three days and three nights of the exam, even if the essay was done first, the whole person has reached the extreme, both physically and mentally. Ma Peng didn't need to think much about it when he returned to the yard, he fell asleep on the bed and slept until noon the next day.
It's also a coincidence, when I was sleeping, the quilt was kicked, and as a result, I caught a cold. Hurry up and ask the doctor to take a look, the doctor said that he was infected with wind and cold and needed to rest. Yes, I went back to bed and rested.
Ma Chengteng was a little surprised that his son was infected with the cold. The state of a person is actually related to the spirit, if Ma Peng is very excited, it shows that he is hopeful, and now such a negative attitude is obviously telling everyone that he has fallen off the list.
Ma Chengteng smiled lightly, that's fine. When the results come out, everyone will only think that he is lucky. Ma Chengteng said lightly: "Let the eldest young master recuperate well, let the kitchen cook what you want to eat, and take care of your body as soon as possible." ”
Ma Chengteng's attitude made the people below misunderstand again, thinking that the lord was unhappy, and the whole mansion was silent at the moment.
When Cheng heard Ma Peng's performance, he knew that Ma Peng must not have hit: "Even such an elm pimple can also be a jinshi, and the jinshi of the Great Yuan Dynasty must not be all over the ground." ”
The maid next to her lowered her head, not daring to let people see her expression. Even if the eldest young master didn't get into the jinshi this time, the eldest young master is still a master. But the second young master is fifteen years old this year, and he hasn't even been admitted to the show. Mrs. was embarrassed to say in front of them that the eldest young master was an elm pimple, if the eldest young master was an elm pimple, then what was the second young master, a waste.
Yueyao compiled the scenery she had observed before into notes, and after sorting it out, she looked at it again and thought it was quite interesting. Yue Yao touched the booklet, and she could use these in the future.
Mother Deng knew Ma Peng's performance, she was worried, and hurriedly told Yueyao: "Girl, is the topic wrong?" "If it's right, the eldest young master should be elated, how can he be listless and cause a cold, Mother Deng is under the influence of the messenger.
Yue Yao smiled and said, "No, it's not, it's not a big deal." "It's not okay, so that she feels that she is helping others cheat, and she can't get by with her conscience.
Mother Deng thought about the silver, and it hurt a little. The title is wrong, then Yu Zida will definitely not be able to pay three yuan and the first, three thousand taels of silver, her life savings.
Yueyao noticed that something was wrong with Deng's mother: "Mom, what's wrong?" Turning to this, Yue Yao said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, the results haven't come out yet, I'll talk about it when the results come out in two days." In fact, Yueyao said that the Ma family's performance like this is reassuring. If it is a high-profile announcement that the eldest cousin will definitely win, then there will be a problem, at the level of the eldest cousin, who can be sure that he will be able to win, even if such a performance is successful, others only think it is an accident, it is luck. It's just that she can't explain these words to Mother Deng.
Seeing that Mother Deng was still in a trance, Yueyao couldn't help but say, "Mom, don't be like this, if it's gone, it's gone, and if Mom is like this again, she has to let people know." ”
Mother Deng was also in pain for a while just now, and immediately came back to her senses after getting Yueyao's reminder: "The girl reminded me right." "Compared to three thousand taels of silver, Mo Shi is the biggest threat, what if she leaves the girl.
Yue Yao saw that Mother Deng regained her calm, and then said, "Mom, don't worry, I will let you spend a peaceful old age." "Yue Yao is thinking about reusing Hao's mother. Mother Deng really can't do it, she can't hold her breath for such a thing.
Mother Deng is not hypocritical, she has no children and no daughters, so she naturally has to rely on Yueyao to support her for the elderly: "Girl, my mother was confused just now." ”
Yue Yao nodded: "Mom, don't think too much, Yu Zida has already become famous in the capital, if nothing goes wrong, it should be ** not far from ten." ”
Mother Deng shook her head: "Where is it so easy to get three yuan and the first." "My aunt is also a talented person, and he has nothing to do with Sanyuan and Di.
Yueyao didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, and waited for the results to come out. If it really makes Deng's mother lose, she will make up the money back to Deng's mother.
Mother Deng's abnormality naturally fell into Qiaolan's eyes. Qiao Lan was very puzzled, but she didn't tell the old lady about Mother Deng's strange appearance, which can be regarded as allowing Mother Deng to avoid a catastrophe.
