Chapter 43 The Examination of the New Governor
"Really?" As soon as Fan Ming heard the news, his mind suddenly couldn't help but spread.
This is a great opportunity to fly out of the countryside, and he has been waiting for a long time, and he has turned down the opportunity to go directly to Ying Tianfu before, isn't it just to wait for this opportunity!
As long as you enter the county school, you can be qualified for the scientific examination, and you can have the opportunity to enter the state school, which is equivalent to having a place to solve the examination, thinking of this, Fan Ming couldn't help but get excited.
But then he thought about it, and at present, he was only talking about selection, and with his own family background, he would definitely not be able to compete with other children from well-off families, so he couldn't help sighing, "Uncle Chen, you also know the situation of my family, I'm afraid it won't be my turn to qualify." ”
", with me helping you, how can you not be qualified." Chen Siliang responded with a big grin.
Picked up the smoking wet wood from the fire tongs, threw it out and put it out with his feet, not noticing Fan Ming's touched expression at all.
To be honest, Fan Ming himself never thought that this Chen Siliang would be such a loving and righteous person, since he came to Qinghe Township, he had the impression that Chen Siliang was a violent and selfish country head snake, who had always bullied the weak.
But since the contact these days, he noticed that Chen Siliang has never bullied any honest peasant household in the township, although his methods are ruthless, but almost all of them are used on some pranksters and outsiders, but although the head of the Cao household should come to the Swen family from Tianfu, the kung fu of stabbing people behind the back makes Fan Ming still remember it vividly.
Maybe a talent like Chen Siliang is the real patron saint of Qinghe Township.
"Uncle Chen!" Fan Ming felt as if his throat was blocked by something, and he wanted to say something for a while, but he couldn't say anything.
"Look at you, how old are you......" Chen Siliang scolded, but his slightly dark face showed a pleased smile, sighed and continued: "If you want to say that you are the only person in our village who I can look up to now, I asked Old Master Gong, and he said that you are the only person in Qinghe who is expected to step into Bianjing, this is not only your personal matter, this is related to the face of our township." ”
Fan Ming smiled, knowing that this was Chen Siliang finding a step for himself again, "Uncle Chen, what I want to say again will make me hypocritical, with Uncle Chen's words, I will take off a layer of skin and try it." ”
"That's right!" Chen Siliang smiled heartily.
For Fan Ming, he likes it from the bottom of his heart, this kid has a good brain, good talent, and the most important thing is to do things solidly, if he doesn't have a daughter, he really wants to recruit him as a son-in-law.
Fan Ming didn't know what Chen Siliang was thinking, and then asked, "Uncle Chen, what is going to be tested in this screening exam, when will I rely on it, I will also be prepared." ”
"It's probably the beginning of spring next year, and I don't know what to do with the exam." Chen Siliang touched the stubble on his black face, "This is what you scholars said, if you want to say it, you have to ask Old Master Gong, but I estimate that Old Master Gong may not know, I heard that this screening test is mainly based on the preferences of the new magistrate." ”
Fan Ming was dumbfounded for a while, what is this called, but fortunately, it will not be screened until next year, and there is still a lot of time left to understand, Qinghe is not too far from Chuqiu County, and it will not take much effort to come and go.
"I'll ask people to inquire about this, your aunt's maiden family has a cousin who works on an errand in the county office, maybe you know something."
"Then it's troublesome Uncle Chen." Fan Ming stood up and respectfully saluted Chen Siliang, this was the first time he had saluted a person in this era from the bottom of his heart.
"What are you doing...... Chen Siliang immediately stood up and hugged Fan Ming, but his face was quite moved, "You kid." ”
As he was talking, the door of the study was pushed open again, but it was Fan Qin's who came in, but Fan Qin's head and face were full of snow, as if he had been standing outside the door for a while, Fan Ming greeted him immediately, "Mother, where have you been." ”
Fan Qin waved his hand, swept the snow on his head, and said to Chen Siliang who was standing aside: "Just now you were talking, I didn't dare to come in and disturb outside, but I also heard a real thing, Uncle Chen, if my Fan family can have a bright future in the future, I will burn incense every day and worship your plaque." ”
"Mother, what are you talking about!" Fan Ming was made to laugh and cry by Fan Qin's burst of nonsense.
Chen Siliang didn't get angry at all, but said softly: "Old sister-in-law, this is nothing, Fan Ming I really like him, treat him as my own family, if I don't have a daughter, I can't wait to recruit this kid as a son-in-law." ”
Fan Qin pondered for a moment, and suddenly the brilliance in his eyes lit up, and said, "Uncle, I have a way to get the best of both worlds." ”
"What's the way, sister-in-law, you say."
"Don't you have no daughter, I'm thinking about recognizing my family Wan'er as your goddaughter, what do you think?" Fan Qin's thought to himself that this was really God's help, a rare opportunity, Wan'er recognized Chen Qichang as her godfather, so that the name was justified, and her son could marry Wan'er back without any scruples, the best of all three.
Chen Siliang looked at Fan Qin's family, and then Fan Ming's face paused, and Fan Ming was stunned for a while, what does this mean, old lady?
But seeing her so happy, it's hard to stop it openly, or a man's sense of responsibility, he really doesn't know how to deal with it now, so he has to acquiesce first, and take one step at a time.
After a pause for a long time, Chen Siliang finally nodded, sighed and said, "Okay, I promise, from today onwards, Wan'er will live in my house until you pass the audit." ”
Fan Ming and Fan Qin were stunned for a moment at the same time, but then they understood what Chen Siliang meant, and cast a grateful look at Chen Siliang, "Don't worry, Uncle Chen, I will definitely study hard and win the place in this county school." ”
"Okay, now I finally look like a man." Chen Siliang patted Fan Ming's shoulder, which was gradually thickening, and said excitedly: "When the day you pass the audition, I will set up a flowing water mat for you, so that the whole village will follow Le and Le He." ”
"I'll call Wan'er to recognize my godfather." Fan Qin's solution to a major matter trapped in his heart, the smile on his face completely bloomed, and even the folds seemed to be smoothed out, making Fan Ming shake his head again, but at the same time he was very happy, this was the first time he had seen Fan Qin's real joy like this.
"Godfather!" Wan'er knelt down and kowtowed respectfully three times, perhaps because Fan Qin said something to him, Zhang Wan'er's face was always red, and she never dared to look up at Fan Ming.
