As soon as the county test list is released, there is no need to see it in person, and some people have been publicized all the way after reading it, especially the little baby who runs around the street is the most well-informed, knowing which family has a reading exam, all of them are waiting in front of the doors of each house early, especially the rich people gather at the door of the house, as soon as the list is posted, there are students at home who have not seen it with their own eyes, so they first shouted outside, saying congratulations and congratulations, and the happy fruit was taken, just waiting for the happy money to be sprinkled out of the door. is not only a rich family, but also a poor scholar's family, once someone is on the list, they must also be happy money, no matter how much, in order to please the lottery.

Zhao Yiming rushed to Chen's house early in the morning, and saw some little babies running to tell each other on the road, all the way to Chen's house.

Not only the little baby, but also some idlers, are all making a fuss to the Chen family to beg for money, and the fact that Chen Xiucai made a fortune is getting more and more intense, everyone wants to be the first to poke the news into the Chen family to get the first prize.

When Li heard the news that Qi An had been hit, she couldn't close her mouth with joy on the spot, and the person stood upright and fell stupid on the spot, this was the first time she had experienced this, and she didn't know what to do when she saw so many people crowded at the door.

is still a snow elf, knowing that people come to report the good news is to please the money, just like the children chasing the float at the wedding banquet in the previous life to please the candy to eat. There was a ready-made copper plate at home, she grabbed a large handful and put it in the dustpan, brought it to the door and scattered it with a "clank", the copper coin fell to the ground like rain, and the big child dragged the small honeycomb to squeeze forward to grab it. Li glanced at Xue Jiao approvingly, here Xue Ru and Jing Hao had already brought out halva, steamed buns, peanuts, melon seeds and other food and walked towards the crowd, those who couldn't grab the money simply gave up grabbing the money, turned around Xue Ru and Jing Hao to grab food, and their hands were full, so they took off their coats and pocketed them. Stuffed with bags full of mouths, the little faces were beaming.

The people in the township, not to mention the poor families, are generally wealthier families, and they don't buy snacks for the children in the family. The entrance of the courtyard is impassable. The relatives of their own clan did not mention it, and those who ploughed the land outside to gather were all crowded in front of the door. Arch your hands and say hello.

His grandson passed the county test, and Mr. Chen got the news, and he was as happy as Dafang. When the eldest child passed the county test and the government test, he was not at home. After the college exam, he was really beautiful. The county officials personally sent good news to their homes, and a hundred crackling cannons rang out from the town to the house, and the eldest child was dressed in red clothes and rode a high-headed horse through the streets.

Qi An has just passed the first step, and there will be scenery in the future.

Mrs. Chen lifted the curtain and took a look. pursed his lips disdainfully, the corners of Old Man Chen's mouth grinned, this old thing didn't go to inquire about Qi Lin. It's not over with the big house. At a fixed glance, the Zhang family took three sons. mixed in the crowd to eat fruit, and before his voice fell, he saw a group of people squeezing in from the official road.

"Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Old Man Chen, both of your grandsons have passed the county exam, Qi Lin is ranked first, and Qi An is ranked seventeenth."

"Congratulations, congratulations, Old Man Chen is so blessed."

Both of his grandsons have passed the county exam, and one grandson is still the first name, and Old Man Chen's happy beard trembled.

Mrs. Chen couldn't hear anything else, she only heard Qi Lin take the first place in the exam, her face was full of big folds, and she stood at the door trembling with a pair of small feet, grabbed the old man and asked, "My grandson Qi Lin took the first exam?" ”

The man was peeling the halva and stuffing it into his mouth, and said indistinctly: "The list is clearly written, and there is no fake." ”

"My Buddha!" Old Mrs. Chen clasped her hands together, and the depression in her heart these days was swept away, and she squinted at Li and Xuejiao.

Chen Xuejiao and the Li family naturally pretended not to see it, and Qi Lin didn't care about the first few Xue Jiao, but after all, the Li family had milked Qi Lin once, and they were happy for him in their hearts.

"Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen, I'm happy to scatter the money!" Someone in the crowd chanted, and others laughed along.

Old Man Chen and Old Lady Chen showed embarrassed expressions on their faces, according to their current living conditions, they didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, but they couldn't take out the reward, and even if they could, they didn't prepare.

"Sister-in-law, when your eldest son was admitted to Xiucai, you blew away all the officials for the sake of two happy money, this time it's your turn to ask for your eldest grandson's reward, and you won't blow away all the neighbors." Grandma Xianglian revealed the old lady Chen's old bottom, and this eldest son naturally refers to Chen Xiucai.

Mrs. Chen's face turned purple, and she had the thought of biting Grandma Xianglian in her heart.

Li smiled and waved his hand at everyone: "The reward is naturally prepared in advance, everyone eats the fruit first, and eats the fruit first." ”

glanced at Xue Jiao, Xue Jiao took a step and opened the box into the house, and took out a handful of copper coins. She understands that this money is the happy money given to Qi Lin in place of Shangfang, but the good reputation that falls in the mouth of outsiders is Dafang's, and now for Dafang, this idea is nothing.

A handful of copper coins were spilled out, and Mrs. Chen looked at it painfully, while Zhang's followed the adults and children to grab it regardless of it.

Everyone dispersed, Li took the child back to the house, smiled happily at Qi An, Xue Jiao gave Qi An a thumbs up, Qi An sat upright with a book, and the noise outside had nothing to do with him.

"Brother, you and Brother Xingjian have both tried it in Guò County, you are seventeenth, and he is thirty-fifth." Xue Jiao brought Qi An a bowl of tea and said with a smile.

Hearing that Xingjian had also passed, Qi An breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed in his heart that his luck was really good. Xingjian is not very bright in reading, his aura is in accounting and favors, this time the county tried to get thirty-six, he just took the thirty-five test, and the same as the first one, he didn't go back to the danger.

"Qi An, you have taken the test for a few days, take a good rest, put down the book in your hand first, and I'll make you something delicious." Li asked with a smile, "What do you want to eat?" ”

"I want to eat the chicken noodles made by my mother." Qi An patted the book, he didn't relax at all in his homework, "The battle outside is too big, I just passed the county exam, and the government exam is still ahead, so I don't dare to relax at this time." ”

Li Shi disagreed: "Okay, you wait, my mother will make you chicken noodles immediately." ”

In the butcher shop, a whole chicken is cut off and the meat is sold to the rich, and the remaining chicken bones and feet are sold to the poor. Li's dexterous hands, can make a hand of soup and water, buy a chicken rack to remove a thin layer of meat on it, cut it into shreds and cook it, chop the chicken bones and put it into the pot to boil, wait for the milky white soup to come out, roll out the strong noodles and cook them, put the shredded chicken as a topping, Qi An is tired of reading, such noodles can eat two large bowls with soup and water. Even though the family is wealthy now, they can afford to eat whole fish and meat, but the children in the family still like to eat chicken noodles.

"Brother, do you know that Brother Qi Lin took the first exam?" Chen Xuejiao asked while grinding Qi An.

Qi An nodded: "He should be the first, when we studied together, he was clever, and he would be able to read the book once." ”

For Chen Qilin's first place in the exam, Chen Qi'an was not surprised at all. Xue Jiao secretly observed her brother, only to see that he looked calm and breezy, there was envy in his eyes, but there was no jealousy at all, and he couldn't help but secretly appreciate it in his heart. On the way to study, he is most afraid of quick success and quick success, and he is ambitious, Qi An does not see how smart he is, but he has a calm demeanor.

"I thought my brother was going to feel uncomfortable." Xue Jiao said with a smile.

"What's uncomfortable, even if the first place is not won by Qi Lin, it may not fall on my head, I read books carefully and prepare for the government exam is serious."

The brother and sister were talking when they heard someone shouting outside: "Is it the Chen family?" ”

The old lady Chen in the upper room walked out in response, but the other party asked, "Which one is Chen Qi'an?" ”

Mrs. Chen thought that Qi Lin had taken the first place, and she came to congratulate her outside, but when she heard that she was looking for Qi An, she turned back to the house.

Chen Qi'an and Chen Xuejiao walked out, saw a messenger-like official waiting outside, and handed Qi An a letter and a sealed object.

Back in the house, when he opened the letter, he saw that it was written by Gu Siyuan, Chen Qi'an and he had kept the Hongyan biography, and the correspondence had been for so long, Qi An vaguely knew that he was a noble son, and he didn't know anything about the rest.

Open the object and see that it is a complete set of four treasures of the study, the pen is seven purple and three white milli pens, the inkstone is a good inkstone on Huizhou, the moon is engraved with cinnamon branches, and there is a toad lying on the bottom.

Xue Jiao knew at a glance that this was not something that ordinary scholars could use, generally such a book was an internal offering, and Gu Siyuan could easily obtain it, which showed that his identity was not ordinary.

This gift must be a gift for the exam, but the communication in this era is relatively backward, and any rain or snow can affect the itinerary, so it took so long to send it to Qi An.

"He's wishing his brother Toad Palace." Xue Jiao smiled and quipped, this set of four treasures of the study is worth a lot.

Qi comforted the inkstone: "He doesn't dislike the poor and love the rich." After reading the letter for a while, "Master Qin will be back this winter." ”

Master Qin, after a year's absence, in winter, his confused plum blossoms should bloom again.

The old man Chen in the upper room sent a set of pen and ink, and the ink naturally cannot be compared with Gu Siyuan's, presumably he got the news in the morning and went to the four treasures store in the town to buy it, and bought two sets, one set for each of the two grandsons.

Mrs. Chen didn't say anything unpleasant this time, and happily added a sum of money to order Chen Zifu to go to Xuzhou Mansion to send it to Qi Lin, Cai smiled and persuaded: "Qi Lin took the first place in the exam is a happy event for our room, not that the child's father is not going now, but I want to wait for Qi Lin Mansion to try before going, according to Qi Lin's ability, the house test will definitely be able to get a first name, how good it is to be double happy at that time." ”

With a smile on his face, he was disdainful in his heart, Qi Lin didn't know what shit he had taken to get the first place, wouldn't the second sister-in-law have her eyes to the sky now.

Old Mrs. Chen saw that Chen Zifu was reluctant to go at first, but after listening to Cai's words, she smiled and said: "You are still thoughtful, the government has won the first place, and it is the same to send it over, and when the time comes, take Qi Lin home and celebrate it well." His eyes swept over the two daughters-in-law of the Cai family and the Zhang family, "You also have to prepare some gift money, and you have all the gifts." (Want to know more?)
