The third watch, near the end of the month, asks for pink.

……

The examination of Ren'an Mansion began on June 15, and the venue was still in the examination booth of the Gongyuan. The college examination is different from the prefectural examination and the county examination, and there are only two examinations in total, which are presided over by the academic administration.

The first session is the main field, and the admission list is announced in a circle, and only the seat number is written, not the name, which is commonly known as the "draft". Master Ji San passed the main exam, and the draft was on the list, and then he participated in the second exam, which was the re-examination.

Three days after the re-examination, the list will be released, and the admission list will be announced, commonly known as "out of the case".

Master Ji San passed two exams, so he didn't go out, and only waited in Mu Mansion to find out the case.

On June 22, the court tried to solve the case. The newspaper was draped in red and hung with colors, knocking on the gong to the head of the gate of the Mu Mansion, and the Mu family immediately rejoiced.

Today's day is special, Mu Hong, Mu Jiaying, Mu Jiahao, father and son, all went to the yamen of the guard office early to order, and then came back, everyone gathered in the main hall, waiting for the newspaper to come home.

The front yard got the news, and immediately a little girl ran to the backyard to communicate.

Ji Xiaotang was sitting in the upper room with Shen at the moment, although she already had a bottom of the results of the exam in her heart, but she really heard the little girl come to report that it was Master Ji San who had passed the college exam, Ji Xiaotang was still inevitably a little excited.

Master Ji San has passed the college examination, and he has the qualification of a student, and he wants to be a showman. From now on, Master Ji San can see the county officials without kneeling, exempt from conscription, and continue to participate in the next township examination to achieve fame.

Although Xiucai can't be an official, he has initially entered the ranks of officials. From now on, it will not be a white ding. Although Xiucai is not an official, he cannot be underestimated at all. I don't know how many people are poor and have been just children all their lives. Although it is only one step away from Xiucai, this step is out of reach.

Master Ji San often doesn't like to study, but once the prodigal son turns back and takes the exam for the first time, he smoothly passes the county exam, the government exam and the hospital exam, and becomes a talented man. This thing. Even in Fucheng Ren'an, he has been talked about for a long time.

There are those who envy, and there are those who are envious.

Many people think. It is still the blessed land of the ancestral grave of the Ji family that is well chosen, Old Lady Ji and Master Ji, Second Master Ji, father and son, and Sanjinshi, even the youngest son who is not very good, shoot casually. is also a showman.

And this. It should be just the beginning.

There are already many people who are beginning to be optimistic about Master Ji San's performance in this autumn's township test.

Master Ji San knew that he had won the examination, and he was also overjoyed. There was a big banquet here in the Mu Mansion to celebrate, and Ji Xiaotang was busy writing letters to Qingyuan's family to report the good news, and on the other hand, he cut Confucian official boots, scarves, robes, etc. for Master Ji San.

Master Ji San dressed up and participated in the banquet held by Xuezheng in the Yamen for rookie talents, passed the hairpin ceremony, and worshiped Sage Confucius, and from then on. officially became a protégé of Confucius.

After this qiē was over, Master Ji San discussed with Ji Xiaotang to return to Qingyuan.

They came out of Qingyuan in March. It's the end of June, and I've been living in Ren'an for four months. Although they still have to participate in the township test held in August, during this period, both themselves and Qingyuan's family hope that they can go back and reunite with their relatives.

This was originally said a long time ago, but Mu Hong, Shen and others were very reluctant, and repeatedly wanted the two to continue to stay in Fucheng.

"It's hard work to go back and forth, so it's better to wait for the township test and go back again, which is also worry-free and trouble-free."

This side stayed, and the old lady Ji and the second master Ji in Qingyuan received the good news, so they sent the steward with many nursing homes to pick up Ji Xiaotang and the second master Ji.

Mu Hong and Shen couldn't, so they stayed with the two for another two days before they were willing to let them go.

The uncle and nephew brought a lot of things with them when they came, and although they didn't have as many carriages and horses when they came back, they did have a lot. Many of them were purchased by Mu Hong and the Shen family for the two of them, as well as gifts for the Ji family in Qingyuan.

It's Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San, who also bought a lot of things and planned to take them back.

On this day, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San cleaned up neatly and got up from Mu Mansion.

Mu Hong and Shen sent the two to the gate.

Shen took Ji Xiaotang's hand and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"Say hello to me when you get back." Shen instructed Ji Xiaotang, "Be careful along the way." Go back for two days and come back early. Your uncles and nephews are also familiar with living here, so come over early, so it's better to prepare for the township exam......"

Shen pulled Ji Xiaotang and spoke under the carriage. According to her posture, Ji Xiaotang didn't plan to get in the carriage and leave this day. It was still Zhang who saw that the hour was not early, and came forward to persuade him, and the Shen family reluctantly let go of Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang saluted Shen and Zhang again, touched the top of Mu Wanjie's hair, and then got into the carriage.

Mu Hong had an errand, so he could only send Ji Xiaotang to the city gate and go back.

Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao brought soldiers and sent Ji Xiaotang out of the city all the time. Out of the city gate, a group of chariots and horses stopped at Shili Pavilion. Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao can only send Ji Xiaotang and Ji San here, and they also have other errands.

Qi Younian took over the position of the Mu family brothers with a group of personal soldiers, and continued to escort Ji Xiaotang forward.

This is the result of everyone discussing after Ji Xiaotang decided on the date of the trip.

Originally, Mu Hong's father and son all planned to send Ji Xiaotang to Mujiazhai, but it was such a coincidence, but on this day, they all had errands that they couldn't get out of, and only Qi Younian could spare time on this day.

The matter of escorting Ji Xiaotang fell on Qi Younian's body "unshirkable".

In fact, this was Qi Younian volunteering, and the Mu family and the Ji family's uncles and nephews were not polite to him.

Shili Pavilion, Ji Xiaotang also got off the carriage, and saw that Qi Younian had another horse next to him in addition to his own big black horse. The horse was snow-white, without a trace of miscellaneous hair, and the skeleton was shorter than that of the big black horse, but it did not lose the spirit of the horse at all.

The white horse has a bright bridle, and the forehead is still tied with a red tassel.

Ji Xiaotang's gaze fell on Bai Ma's body, and he moved away for a while.

Qi Younian had already led the horse to Ji Xiaotang, he didn't speak, only bent his crescent eyes twice, and handed the reins of the white horse to Ji Xiaotang.

"This is ......," Ji Xiaotang hesitated and stretched out his hand.

"This is for you, Xiaotang." Qi Younian said, looking at Ji Xiaotang's happy expression with great enjoyment.

Next to him, Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao both looked like they knew it, and they also looked at it with a smile.

"Give it to me." Ji Xiaotang took the reins of the horse, and carefully looked around the white horse, and felt that there was almost nothing that the white horse did not suit his heart.

"Try it." Qi Younian said, acting as a stone on the horse very naturally, and helped Ji Xiaotang to get on the horse.

Qi Younian only let go of the horse's reins at this time, and asked Ji Xiaotang if he was ready, but lightly whipped the horse's buttocks.

The white horse rushed out.

Ji Xiaotang rode a white horse and ran around the official road, and slowly slowed down before returning to the Shili Pavilion.

Looking at the expression on Ji Xiaotang's face at the moment, he knew that she was very satisfied with this white horse.

The white horse has good foot strength, and is very steady and obedient.

After running this lap, perhaps because of happiness, Ji Xiaotang's cheeks were slightly red, and he looked even more peachy. She got off the horse and thanked Qi Younian generously.

"It's time to thank Ayou." Mu Jiaying smiled and said, "For this horse, Ayou didn't bother to think about it?" ”

Ji Xiaotang asked Mu Jiaying with his eyes what was going on.

Mu Jiaying smiled and told Ji Xiaotang that this white horse was bothered by Qi Younian in the military horse farm, and it took several months of careful training before giving it to Ji Xiaotang.

According to Mu Jiaying, Qi Younian had long planned to send the horse to Ji Xiaotang.

"Last time in Mujiazhai, your jujube red horse was good anywhere, but it was easy to be frightened." Qi Younian made up his mind at that time to give Ji Xiaotang a horse that was not easy to be frightened.

What horse is not easy to be frightened is, it is naturally a good and specially trained military horse.

For this horse, almost from the moment Ji Xiaotang arrived in Ren'an, he was already preparing for it. And during this period, he didn't reveal a word to Ji Xiaotang or anyone else.

If it weren't for the large place where the horse was used and the movement was not small, Mu Jiaying and they might not know about it.

Qi Younian's intentions can be seen.
