The autumn breeze was cool, and finally it was the day of Tang Yang and Tang Liang's exam, and the Tang family was very nervous, not daring to let them eat more, nor daring to let them eat less, not only afraid that they would eat too much and be uncomfortable, but also afraid that they would be hungry and have no strength halfway through the exam, in short, everyone's face and heart were very anxious.

On the other hand, the two brothers Tang Yang and Tang Liang were not in a hurry at all, they were full of confidence, Tang Qing'er persuaded her father and mother on the side: "The more anxious we are, the more nervous they are, let's treat them with a normal mentality!" But he didn't dare to tell his father and mother that when he was serving food in the morning, he accidentally hit a plate.

Tang Yang Tang Liang didn't let his father and mother send them to the examination room, and when the two left, Tang Yang said: "I will definitely be able to be admitted to Xiucai, don't worry!" ”

Tang Liang also said: "Me too, after being admitted to Xiucai, my mother did not forget to promise me that I would learn to do business." ”

The two went to the examination room with a smile on their faces, and in the afternoon, the family stood in the courtyard, their eyes kept looking at the gate of the courtyard, and when they saw the two figures, they didn't have time to ask them how they did in the exam, but they only said: "I'm so tired, I want to sleep!" He didn't pay attention to anyone in the courtyard, leaving their backs for them to guess what was going on at the moment.

The next morning, the family didn't dare to ask whether the exam was good or not, Tang Yang Tang Liang was okay, Tang Liang said to Tang Yang: "Go to the master in a while and let him see how we answered the papers?" Tang Yang nodded.

After the two finished breakfast, they went to the master's place, and Li asked with some concern: "Qing'er, do you say that the two of them did well in the exam or not?"

Tang Qing'er couldn't figure it out, so she comforted her mother and said, "I should have been admitted, and I saw that they were very confident in their speech." ”

Li said with a smile: "With your words, my mother's heart will be stable." ”

At this time, Tang Tiezhu said to Brother Xiang: "I'm going to collect things today, you repair the old cabinet you received yesterday, and sell it when the town is in the market the day after tomorrow." ”

Brother Xiang sat on the stool and said slowly: "Uncle, there is only one stool left to repair the things I collected yesterday, and I have finished repairing the rest,"

Tang Tiezhu smiled awkwardly and said, "Look at me, yesterday I was full of thoughts about Tang Yang and Tang Liang brothers, and I didn't notice the things in the yard, alas! ”

Tang Qing'er smiled at her father: "Dad, you are just concerned about it,"

"Yes, now that they are still very energetic, I will go to collect things," Tang Tiezhu said.

I have to say that her father's business is very hot now, and all the people in the town already know that her father collects old things, which is a little famous, and after repairing the old things received, they are taken to the town market to sell, and there are many ordinary people who can use good mahogany cabinets or elm chairs, and her father's business is also a daily income.

There were only a few mothers left in the house, and the Li family had no energy, so they asked the three Tang Qinger sisters to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and she went back to the house to stay, and Jiao'er said to the eldest sister in the kitchen: "I think the eldest brother can be admitted, but what about the second brother?" It's a bit of a hang! ”

Tang Qing'er patted her on the back and said, "What nonsense?" They're so smart they're going to be able to get in. ”

Jiao'er pursed her lips and didn't speak, Man'er said, "Second sister, the water is overflowing on your sleeve." ”

Jiao'er glared at her: "The eyes are pointed, I can see it at a glance,"

Qing'er smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't say so in your heart!" ”

Jiao'er blushed and didn't speak, and glared at Man'er fiercely, Man'er didn't know why, looked at the eldest sister pitifully, Tang Qing'er comforted: "Your second sister is a little white-faced by what we said, hehe......"

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and the fifth day of the eighth month is the day when the list is released, on this day, Xue Qianxun also came to Tang's house, and he took Tang Yang and Tang Liang to the government to see the list, and Tang Tiezhu and his wife followed behind.

This time, the mood of the Tang family was more anxious than when the two sons were taking the children's examination before, Tang Tiezhu accompanied his mother-in-law to stand outside, and the Li family did not dare to go forward, but only dared to wait anxiously in the back, tiptoeing to look inside from time to time, wanting to see the expressions on the faces of the two sons.

About half an hour later, Xue Qianxun finally led Tang Yang and Tang Liang out, Tang Tiezhu looked at the faces of the three of them, and saw that Xue Qianxun's face was uncontrollable joy, while Tang Yang and Tang Liang's faces were relaxed, and he had a bottom in his heart.

"How's it going? How many places? Tang Tiezhu excitedly tugged on Tang Liang's sleeve and asked, Tang Liang stretched out his finger: "I am the tenth, and Tang Yang is the second." ”

As long as you pass the exam, Li's hanging heart finally fell into his stomach, and he said: "Okay, okay, don't stand here and say, let's go back first, I'll make you something to eat at noon." She happily thought that she would be a talented girl in the future!

Tang Tiezhu rubbed his hands and said, "Daughter-in-law, what are you going to cook?" ”

Li shook his head with a smile and said, "I haven't bought vegetables yet, you accompany me to buy vegetables, let the babies go home first, and give good news to a few little babies at home." ”

Tang Tiezhu flattered Lu and smiled at his mother-in-law: "Look, our two sons are admitted to Xiucai, this is the top priority for our family, you will be Xiucai in the future, how much face you have to say about Lu?" ”

Li nodded, smiled and touched Tang Yang and Tang Liang's heads: "That is, my two sons are smart and filial, and they have won me glory." You're not bad, you're still Xiucai's father. After speaking, he smiled at Ha Lu, who was in charge.

Tang Tiezhu hadn't heard his mother-in-law laugh so happily for several years, and hurriedly said: "Since you and I are both talented parents, don't you have to go home and cook in person, today is a good day, if you cook again, it will be a little too much, and Xun'er is also here, let's go out and eat!" ”

Today is really a good day, why not just go to the restaurant for a meal? Worry-free and change taste, kill two birds with one stone, and his business has been good recently, how can he earn more than ten taels of silver in the past half a month, enough for everyone to eat in the restaurant.

The Li family has lived together for so many years, how could she not know what kind of little calculation he made, she was also a little moved, but she still hesitated: "I haven't been to the restaurant in this town, it's you, and I've taken Qing'er to eat once, or a bowl of noodles, what if it's expensive?" ”

"How expensive is it? I have more than fifty taels of silver on me. Tang Tiezhu hurriedly said, patted his purse, Li's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You don't go out to collect things today, what are you doing with so much money?" What if I lose it? ”

Tang Tiezhu hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry, I've been covering my chest?" As he spoke, he took out his purse and handed it to his mother-in-law, and Li saw that there was indeed a tael of silver in it, and he was relieved.

Xue Qianxun looked at Uncle Tang and his aunt, although they looked like they were arguing, they could feel that they cared about each other, which his father and mother did not have.

Xue Qianxun said: "Auntie, according to what my uncle said, let's go to the restaurant to eat!" I invite you to eat! ”

Li Shi said unhappily: "Auntie knows that you are kind, but I can't accept your affection today, because it is the first major event of the Tang family, and you have to take your own money to celebrate anything, and your money is waiting to marry my Qing'er next year!" ”

Seeing his aunt say this, Xue Qianxun could only smile helplessly and said, "Okay then!" I will take advantage of Tang Yang and Tang Liang's light to go to the restaurant to eat today. ”

The Li family didn't hesitate at the moment, with a wave of his hand, everyone went to the restaurant, about today's list, there were a lot of scholars sitting in the restaurant, and the Tang family was doing it in the wing room upstairs led by Xue Qianxun.

Li said to the master: "Qing'er, are they still at home?" Go and fetch them! ”

Tang Tiezhu nodded and said yes, but Xue Qianxun said, "Uncle Tang, you are doing it here!" I'm going to fetch them. ”

Tang Tiezhu thought about it and said, "Okay, you go!" ”

After two quarters of an hour, Xue Qianxun brought Tang Qing'er sisters up, Tang Qing'er first gave her mother the taro in her arms, and then grinned at Tang Yang Tang Liang and said: "You two are so amazing, you were admitted to Xiucai together, not to mention the admission, you can let our mother spend money to eat in the restaurant, amazing,"

Li Shi hit Tang Qing'er on the forehead with chopsticks and said, "What are you talking nonsense? You can't stop eating with food. He said to Brother Xiang again: "The door of the house is locked." ”

Brother Xiang said slowly: "Well, it's locked,"

Tang Liang said at this time: "Eldest sister, this is not the credit of the two of us, it is our father who pulled our mother and said that the right to go to the restaurant to eat should be celebrated for the two of us." ”

Tang Qing'er pouted and said, "This also says that without the credit of the two of you, you yourself said that it was to celebrate the two of you." ”

"Uh......" Tang Liang was speechless when he was refuted by the eldest sister.

So Xue Qianxun smiled on the side and relieved Tang Yang and said, "The dishes are all ordered, do you still have anything you want to eat, we want it." ”

Tang Qing'er couldn't get used to eating the food in the restaurant, so she said with a smile: "No, these are enough." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper began to serve the food, Tang Qing'er picked up the teacup and said to everyone: "I will start with this first cup, congratulations to Tang Yang and Tang Liang for being admitted to the show, and giving our family glory to their ancestors." ”

Everyone drank all the tea together, and Tang Qing'er said to Feng Xiao again: "Don't worry, when you are admitted to Xiucai in two years, the eldest sister will also celebrate you." ”

Feng Xiao blushed and said, "Eldest sister, I remember what you said." Feng Xiao is not like the little boy who dare not say anything.

Xue Qianxun also picked up the teacup and stood up and said: "The second cup will be from me, I will use tea instead of wine to congratulate my two younger brothers on being admitted to Xiucai, I didn't bring anything here today, if you have anything you want, just tell me, it is a little bit of my heart as a brother-in-law." ”

Tang Yang Tang Liang's eyes flashed, and he immediately picked up the teacup and said, "We remember what our brother-in-law said, and we also need you to honor it." ”

Xue Qianxun drank the tea and said, "Definitely! ”

At this time, Tang Tiezhu said to his mother-in-law with some trouble: "Since the two sons have been admitted to Xiucai, when will we go back to Tangjia Village!" Sweep my mother's grave and let her old man continue to bless her two sons. ”

Li Shi heard that the voice of the master was a little low, and comforted: "Yes, you see when you go, our family will go to sweep the grave of my mother together." ”

Tang Tiezhu said: "Three days later, Tang Yang Tang Liang's mood was more or less tense some time ago, let the babies rest at home for a few days, relax and relax, and then go to Tangjia Village!" ”

Li Shi nodded and agreed, and said to everyone: "Everyone eats and eats, you must eat all these dishes today, otherwise when you go home, I will see that I don't cut you with a broom." ”

Several babies heard her mother say this, and at the same time Da Lang laughed.

Xue Qianxun sat at the table, looking at everyone's smiling faces, and felt that this big family made him feel more and more warm, and there was a feeling of family ties between family members.
