Chapter 150: Fame

The piglets are taken care of by Wei, and the pigs are mainly fed with wheat bran, rice bran, straw and so on. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThere are also leftovers, swill, etc.

Hundreds of chickens, ducks and geese in the fruit grove were not sold for less money during the Chinese New Year. However, Luo Ran has no plans to expand the scale this year, and there are still a few hundred.

This year, there is another fish pond of more than ten acres of land, in addition to the fish fry, shrimp fry and crab fry left in the original fish pond, there has been a sufficient amount of fish fry, shrimp fry and crab fry booked outside.

Now the area of the three big fish ponds and lotus ponds is not small, and the money earned in the future will be used to buy Zhuangzi farming, after all, farming is the foundation.

is busy here, and Wen Xuan also went to participate in the county exam. The location of the county test is in the county seat, because the place under its jurisdiction is next to the prefecture, so the county seat is on the edge of the prefecture.

Luo Wenxuan didn't have to set off in advance, but before dawn that morning, Zheng got up to make breakfast, and Luo Youli got up to pack up the carriage. After dinner, the family sent Luo Wenxuan into the examination room.

There were many people who came to take the exam in the examination room, ranging from teenagers like Wenxuan to adults in their twenties and thirties. Cars and horses are not allowed to approach near the examination room, they are all parked directly in the distance, and candidates carry the examination basket over.

The county test is presided over by the magistrate, and the person who wrote the question is also the magistrate. In the imperial examination, this is the first level. After the county test, there will be a government test around April, and after passing the government test, the child will be born.

Children can also participate in the college examination in May and June, and after passing at that time, they will be talented. Now Luo Wenming has passed the county examination, the government examination, and the hospital examination, and is known as a showman.

Those who get the first place in the hospital examination are called the head of the case. The children who pass the college examination are called students, commonly known as Xiucai, and they are considered to have made a name for themselves and entered the scholar class; There are privileges such as exemption from errands, not kneeling in the county, and not being punished casually. Xiucai is divided into three grades, and the best grades are called "endowments", and the government pays food on a monthly basis; secondly, it is called "proliferation", which does not provide food, and there is a certain quota for "endowment" and "proliferation"; The third is "attached students", that is, attached students who have just entered the school.

Xiucaimei's annual middle-aged examination is excellent, and there is a rice every month. And did a show. You can continue to study and teach students at the same time, earning a bond. If you are invited by a large family, not only will you be bound, but you will also be covered with food, clothing and housing. It is not a problem to be frugal and feed your family.

A few days later, the county exam was finally completed. Wen Xuan did not breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately devoted himself to the preparation for the government examination.

When the exam results came out, Luo Wenxuan really got in, more than 30 people, and a total of more than 100 people were admitted, which is considered to be upper-middle.

Luo Ran's family didn't make much noise, but their own family celebrated a little. Luo Wenxuan threw himself into an intense battle again. Once again, I entered the government examination room with the hope of the whole family.

Sure enough, the government test was also passed. Luo Wenming has already obtained the title of Tongsheng, which can be regarded as entering the ranks of scholars.

Of course, only when you have achieved the fame of show talent can you be called a master.

The hospital exam is much more difficult than the county exam, so Luo Wenming also passed the exam twice at that time. After this government test, Luo Wenming went to Fucheng and lived directly in Mr. Mo's house, and Mr. Mo taught him during this period of time.

Don't look at Mr. Mo who is idle at home now, he was also a jinshi back then, got a first-class, and is a famous talent in the capital. and has been an official for more than ten years, of course, it is easy to ask Luo Wenxuan. However, these Luo Ran families are not very clear, anyway, they only know that Mr. Mo is famous and teaches very well.

Of course, after Luo Ran sent delicious food to Fucheng every day, Mr. Mo couldn't wait for Luo Wenxuan to live in Mofu every day.

On this day, Luo Ran picked a large basket of elm money, returned home, and asked Zheng to make elm money cakes. It is the surplus money mixed with cornmeal and white flour, and evenly, and then pasted cakes on the pot, which is a characteristic food of the Zhuang family.

In the big iron pot in the kitchen, the vegetables have been stewed, it is kelp tofu boiled in large bone broth, and the pot has just been boiled, and it is just right to paste the cake at this time.

The hot cornmeal and elm money cake are very fragrant, the golden cornmeal, the green elm money, makes this cake very good-looking, the fragrance of the cornmeal and the sweet fragrance of the elm money, it is simply a hot fragrance, which makes people appetize.

I made a few more dishes and put them in the food box.

As soon as Luo Youli finished eating, he was urged by Zheng to drive to Mr. Mo and Luo Wenxuan.

There are several layers outside, and the weather is warm, even if you get to Mr. Mo's, it won't be cold.

……

"Your brother, why haven't you come back?" Zheng couldn't sit still and walked around the room.

"Mother, my brother just got out of the examination room, and I want to visit Mr. County Order. I won't be back until the next morning. Luo Ran was dizzy by Zheng's turn and began to persuade.

"I don't know how much hardship I've suffered in the past few days, no, I have to boil some bone broth to make up for your brother." Zheng said.

"Mother, haven't you already eaten old hen soup, why do you still have to boil bone broth?" There is still half a pot of chicken soup left on the pot.

"Boil, drink whichever your brother wants." After Zheng finished speaking, he went straight back to the kitchen.

Luo Ran no longer persuaded him, anyway, in the end, any soup would be cheaper. Hey, hey, hey.

However, with the fat flesh on his arm, Luo Ran was not only happy but also distressed.

At the end of the day, in the Zheng family's great anticipation, Luo Wenxuan finally returned.

When Luo Ran saw his brother's smile, he knew that his brother had played well this time and was sure that he would be able to win.

Sure enough, after a few days, it was time to release the list. The Luo family was waiting in the city early. Although Zheng was anxious about the results, he didn't let Luo Ran and Wen Sheng squeeze up, for fear of being squeezed and stepped on.

Although Luo Youli didn't know a few words, he still recognized his name and numbers. So Luo Wenxuan and Luo Youli went to see the list.

Luo Youli was a little excited, rubbing his hands excitedly, but it was Wenxuan, and he was very calm.

When the errand officer who posted the list posted the list, the people around him began to crowd up. After a while, I heard Luo Youli's voice and was hit.

Nineteenth place. It's even better than the county test results.

Immediately, I booked a few tables in the restaurant and took them home. As soon as I got home, I heard the beating of gongs and drums from the messengers.

After the two officers confirmed that the name and address were correct, they reported the good news that Luo Wen had won the nineteenth place in Xiucai. Luo Youli hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the prepared purse. There were five taels of silver in each of the purses.

The officer was very happy to receive the reward, said good things, pushed the tea directly, and said that he would go to the next house. Luo Youli sent him out respectfully.

Behind the officer, many people also saluted Luo Wen's name and Luo Youli Zheng to report the good news, and their mouths full of auspicious words poured out like water. The person who seems to have said good things as if he didn't want money is happy. But these words really cost money. (To be continued.) )
