As soon as Gao Jing entered the door and shouted to the second uncle, there was a knock on the door outside, and the second uncle Gao estimated that the official who reported the news was coming, so he walked out of the living room quickly and walked straight to the door, without looking at Gao Yu and Gao Jing at all. The door opened, and the official asked with a smile on his face: "May I ask if this is Gao Jing's Gao Tongsheng family?" ”

When the second uncle heard the word Tongsheng, he was sure in his heart, and immediately replied loudly: "It's Gao Jing's family, I am his second uncle!" ”

The official immediately bowed down and said, "Congratulations, master, your nephew's mansion won the first place in the trial!" ”

As soon as the second uncle heard the first place, his eyes were full of starlight, and he was dazzling, so he immediately ripped off the purse on his waist and handed it to the officer: "Thank you brother Tai for holding the letter, you can drink with your brothers with this bit of silver, don't dislike it!" ”

The official shook the silver in his hand and replied with a smile on his face: "Yes, I can report to the first name, this is a blessing that can't be grabbed!" Master, you are busy first, and you will go to other homes to report the news! ”

The second uncle hurriedly ordered: "Mingsong Mingquan, hurry up and send a few officials!" Seeing that the official had been sent out, the second uncle hurriedly shouted: "Hurry up, Mingsong, you go to the door to put the whip, Mingquan, you go and bring the copper money I prepared, and when the whip is released, I will scatter the money at the door!" By the way, what about Jing'er? ”

Gao Jing replied depressedly: "Second uncle, I'm here!" The second uncle happily came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Jing'er, you really fight for the family, if your grandfather knows, I don't know how happy he will be!" After speaking, he glared at Gao Yu fiercely. Gao Yu felt inexplicable, if you praise the third brother, you will praise the third brother, what are you glaring at him!

At this time, Ming Song trotted over and said: "Second master, the official is here again, saying that he is giving good news to the second young master!" ”

The second uncle immediately grabbed Ming Song's shoulder and asked, "What did you say?" Say it again? ”

Ming Song happily replied loudly: "The second master heard it right, it is to report the good news to the second young master!" ”

When the second uncle heard that his son was admitted to the middle school, he was so happy that he didn't know what to do, Gao Jing quickly pulled the sleeve of the second uncle and said, "Second uncle, the official who reported the news is still waiting at the door!" The second uncle of the high school reacted at this time, and immediately trotted over to the officer, handed over a thick purse, and apologized to the official who reported the news: "I'm really sorry for the brothers, I'm so happy, I almost didn't react!" The official understood: "Understand and understand, brothers report letters every year, and what you encounter is more exaggerated than you, you are nothing!" After hearing this, the second uncle said gratefully: "Thank you brothers for your leniency!" The official didn't care and said, "It's not a big deal, don't take it to heart!" The brothers still have official business, so they will take their leave first! The second uncle hurriedly asked Mingsong Mingquan to send off the guests.

As soon as the servant left, the second uncle hugged Gao Yu, lay on Gao Yu and cried excitedly, Gao Yu worried: "Father, what's wrong with you?" Are you not happy that your son has passed the test? The sophomore uncle choked up and said, "How can my father be unhappy?" Dad is so happy, I couldn't read when I was a child, and I don't know how envious I am when I see people who can read! As he spoke, he wiped his tears and patted Gao Yu's head and said, "Son, you are so angry!" Gao Yu hugged the second uncle and said: "Father, don't worry, your son will study hard to gain fame, and your unfulfilled dream will be realized for you!" The second uncle nodded with satisfaction: "This son was not raised in vain!" ”

Gao Jing saw that after they finished speaking, he asked, "Second uncle, do we still want to put the whip again?" The second uncle was dumbfounded: "The whip I bought has just been released!" Gao Jing said depressedly: "The second brother's results haven't been said yet, why did you finish the whip?" Gao Erbo explained: "I thought that I couldn't study, and Yu'er probably wouldn't be very good!" I didn't think he would get it the first time! Gao Yu suddenly felt that he was just full of emotion and fed the dog.

At this time, Master Zhang walked in with a hanging whip: "I guess you didn't buy enough whips, so I bought them again, but I picked the biggest one, how about it?" The second uncle took the whip and said gratefully: "Master Zhang, you are really timely rain!" Master Zhang waved his hand and said: "It's easy to say, as long as there is food," the second uncle hurriedly ordered: "Mingsong, hurry up to the door and put this hanging whip, Mingquan will go and tell the kitchen to prepare wine and good food!" ”

At dawn the next day, Gao Erbo took Gao Yu and Gao Jing to the county seat in a carriage escorted by the dart bureau. On the way, they didn't dare to delay for a moment, so they wanted to go back as soon as possible and tell Grandpa Gao the good news in person, although they knew that the official who reported the news had already told him the good news, but the good news still had to be shared with their loved ones!

It was supposed to be a half-month journey, but it only took them ten days to reach the county seat, which shows the urgency of the mood! As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard the housekeeper shouting: "Second master, second young master and third young master are back, quickly release the whip!" "The second uncle of high school, they entered the house with the sound of firecrackers!

The second uncle quickly walked into the main room, and knelt down in front of Grandpa Gao, and the second uncle choked up: "The son came back with Yu'er Jing'er, they lived up to their father's expectations, and they have all been admitted to the middle school!" Although he already knew the news, when the second uncle told him in person, Grandpa Gao still shed tears of excitement, walked quickly to the second uncle, helped them up cordially and said, "It's really hard for my son!" He touched Gao Yu's head lovingly and said with relief: "The Gao family's imperial examination is hopeful!" You've had a hard time, so go wash up first, and then come and talk! "The second uncle of the high school bowed down and retired!

"Father, Yu'er Jing'er, do they want to entertain relatives and friends when they are admitted to the middle school?" Father Gao asked.

"Not invited for the time being, they will take the hospital test in August, and they will decide whether to treat them when the results of the hospital test come out!" Grandpa Gao said.

"Yes, Father!" Father Gao replied respectfully!

"Second daughter-in-law, have you been showing Qi'er recently?" Grandpa Gao asked.

"Back to Father, yes!" The sophomore aunt replied.

"It's stopped for the time being, and we'll see each other after the results of their hospital test!" Grandpa Gao ordered.

"But father, Qi'er is 16 years old, and she will be in time this fall!" The sophomore aunt said anxiously.

"Isn't that still too late? In August, Lang'er and they all participated in the hospital exam, in case it passes, and then they will look at Qi'er to a higher level! Grandpa Gao explained.

"It's still the father who thinks about it, so the daughter-in-law will wait!" The sophomore aunt bowed and replied.

After hearing this, Grandpa Gao nodded and ordered, "Butler, send some food to Xing'er, Yu'er and Jing'er." Let them have a good rest after dinner, and I'll talk to them again in the evening! Then he turned to Uncle Gao and said, "Don't disturb them, let them have a good rest, okay, you can go back too!" After Grandpa Gao finished speaking, he took Grandma Gao and walked straight away!

After waking up from a good night's sleep in the afternoon, I thought that Grandpa Gao was going to talk to them, so I quickly washed up and changed into regular clothes and went to Grandpa Gao's study. Gao Jing walked to the door of Grandpa Gao's study, and heard the sound of outsiders talking in the study, so he asked the housekeeper guarding the door: "Uncle Gao, who is in the study?" The housekeeper replied: "Back to the third young master, it's the county commander!" At this time, Gao Yu also arrived at the door of Grandpa Gao's study, and he asked, "Does Grandpa Gao know what the county magistrate is looking for grandpa?" The housekeeper shook his head: "Back to the second young master, the old slave doesn't know." At this time, Gao Lang came over and patted Gao Yu's head and said, "This still needs to be asked, it must be for Brother Pan!" Gao Yu was even more confused after hearing this: "What's the use of Brother Pan looking for grandpa if he has something?" After hearing this, Gao Jing explained: "The county magistrate wants Brother Pan to come to our house to study. Gao Yu was puzzled: "The county magistrate is also from a Jinshi, so he can tutor Brother Pan himself." Gao Jing said helplessly: "How can the county magistrate have time when he is busy with official business?" And you and I have only studied with Xie Fuzi for two years and then we are all admitted to the middle school children's examination, and the results are among the top spears, it can be seen that Xie Fuzi is not only highly knowledgeable, but also teaches students quite disciplined, and it is normal for the county magistrate to want Brother Pan to come to our house to study! After hearing this, Gao Yu said happily: "Then won't we be able to study with Brother Pan in the future!" Gao Lang said calmly: "This depends on the meaning of Xie Fuzi!" Gao Yu clasped his hands together and said, "I hope Master Xie agrees!" At this time, the door opened, Grandpa Gao came out with the county commander, Gao Jing and they hurriedly saluted, the county magistrate nodded at them and left, and Grandpa Gao followed him to send him out.
