Chapter 282 - The Second Examination of the Academy

The newspapers and the people who came to please filled the door of the Shen family's courtyard inside and outside!

Everyone knows that the Shen family and the Lu family are close, and Hui Niang is the big boss of the Chamber of Commerce, as long as she says a few kind words, she can get money back.

Zhou was overjoyed, this feeling of being lost and regained couldn't be better, she hurriedly asked people to carry out the money box, and first gave a few hundred dollars to the newspaper who came to deliver the letter.

As for those who come to please, they also give dozens to dozens of texts per person according to the distance between relatives and relatives, and the maids all come to the Shen family to help serve tea and water, even if the night is dark, the courtyard of the Shen family is still full of people soon.

There were many neighbors who heard the news, and even the neighbors on the other side of the pharmacy also rushed to tell each other, and the threshold of the Shen family was quickly broken by the visitors.

"Shen Gongzi entered the student at a young age, and his future is limitless, I wish Shen Gongzi a high school in the autumn of the coming year."

The newspaper got the reward money, and he was very happy, and he came to the Shen family to report the good news, which can be regarded as a beautiful thing, and the newspaper almost broke each other's heads.

The front was congratulating, but there were two newspapers muttering there: "The Hu Jiao of Fuxue doesn't know which one is crazy, so I have to wait until night to report the good news...... But that's good, it's a lot more generous than ever. ”

said that he was here to report the good news to Shen Xi, but in fact, it was to report the good news to Shen Mingjun and his wife, and Shen Xi was left out in the cold. Obviously, Shen Xi has the ability to do it, now he is just a child, and it is Shen Mingjun and his wife who are in charge of the family.

However, this happened to make Shen Xi hear the private conversation of the newspaper.

Shen Xi thought to himself: "Could it be that my previous article offended the people of Fuxue?" ”

Shen Xi guessed right!

Because of the dominance of science, coupled with the fermentation of Shen Xi's supplement, the content of Shen Xi's first exam was leaked, and the teachings, teachings, instructions, and celebrities of Tingzhou Mansion School and Changting County School who participated in the marking all knew that Tingzhou Mansion had a person who dared to challenge the authority of science at a young age, and he was extremely angry for a while.

In the second reading of the court examination, Liu Bing originally pointed out Shen Xi's case, but after revealing his name, Liu Bing had to demote Shen Xi from the first to the second due to the surging emotions of the crowd.

Even so. Those who participated in the marking work were also annoyed, so they discussed with the people of the Confucian Education Department of the government such a drama of delaying the good news.

Shen Mingjun and his wife didn't have the heart to think about this, Shen Xi was a great joy worthy of special attention, and they were busy receiving newspapers and people who came to please them.

This side of the car. The entrance of the hall has been hung with a red sticker specially prepared by the yamen. The big red paper had the news of Shen Xizhong Xiucai written on it, and after hanging it up, the newspaper said some auspicious words again, and then he went out with the reward money.

The newspaper has just left the gate of the Shen family. Next door, Hui Niang also asked the maid to bring over a box of money and sent another copy to the newspaper, and the newspaper became more and more happy, holding a thick waist bag and going home happily.

Until the middle of the night of the third watch, there was still a steady stream of neighbors who came to beg for money, and the Zhou family didn't feel tired at all, but the front yard of the Shen family could no longer accommodate so many congratulatory people.

Just like when Shen Xi was admitted to the county case, no matter whether he knew him or not, he wanted to come over to ask for money. In the end, Hui Niang came in and told everyone to go to the pharmacy to please her. Send the money away first, the gate is closed, and those who come later will not be accepted!

"Sister, brother-in-law, are you happy now? Xiaolang has fame, and you will be able to enjoy happiness in the future. Hui Niang's face was full of envy.

Zhou said happily: "What did my sister say, didn't you say it before, let this kid recognize you as his mother-in-law, now he has a reputation, and Xi'er is a few years older." It's time to do it. ”

Hui Niang didn't expect the Zhou family to bring up the old matter again, but she waved her hand: "Xiaolang is now famous, and my sister can't afford to climb high, this matter ...... I'll talk about that later. ”

The first person to be concerned about this matter was Hui Niang. She wants to recognize a godson, which is equivalent to supporting herself, but now she is retreating.

Zhou was on the rise, and did not think about the reason, since Hui Niang said that she would talk about it later, then she didn't need to worry.

……

……

The next day. After Shen Xi got up, he went out of the room and was about to fetch water to wash, and Zhou had already prepared warm water and a washcloth and waited in the courtyard.

Zhou's eyes were red, I don't know if it was because he didn't sleep well last night, or because he cried with joy and cried red eyes.

"Dai'er, quickly hand over a towel to Hanwa'er...... I can't call it Hanwaer, I have to call Xiaoxiucai in the future...... Well!? It doesn't seem to be appropriate, this baby is not yet twenty, and he can't take a table word, so he will simply call Xilang in the future......"

Shen Xi said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, you can call it whatever you want, it sounds awkward." ”

Zhou scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, do you have the ability?" I don't even listen to my mother, do you? Hurry up and clean up, and go to Mr. Tou, saying that he was busy last night, and he didn't have time to report the good news to Mr. Feng. I asked your father to prepare a generous gift, and after the past, you must be grateful to Mr. Feng, you know? ”

"If it weren't for Mr. Feng, how could you have become famous so quickly at such a young age? Oh yes, and the old gentleman who enlightened you, I have to pay my respects to his old man's birthplace. ”

Zhou was so busy that he didn't know what to do for a while.

After breakfast, Zhou asked Shen Xi to personally write a letter to inform Ning Hua of the good news of Xiucai.

After the letter was written, Zhou sighed: "Look, this is our son-in-law, who is much more capable than your uncle, and he will ......come back next year."

Even Shen Mingjun couldn't listen to it anymore, he interrupted Zhou's words and said, "Madam, Xiaolang is still young. ”

"Yes, yes, Zhongxiucai is fine, as for Zhongju, it can be a few years...... But you must participate in the township exam next year, how can you say that you can also be like your uncle, go to the exam, and your aunt will know it, so you have to be angry with her! Hum! ”

Shen Mingjun's face was a little not good-looking. For him, the eldest brother is like a father and an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and now his wife is clearly saying bad things about his eldest brother and sister-in-law in front of him, and he can't listen to it, but he also knows that Zhou is too excited to say a few inappropriate words, so he didn't refute it.

Shen Xi was about to go out with Shen Mingjun, Lin Dai suddenly hid behind him and pulled his shirt, Shen Xi immediately remembered, and said to Zhou: "Mother, didn't you say that I married Dai'er after winning the show?" ”

Zhou waved his hand: "The child's family, even if she is allowed to pass the door, what can you do?" There are a lot of things you don't understand. I'll talk about it when you're a few years older. ”

Lin Dai originally thought that she could officially enter the Shen family, but she couldn't help but feel a little anxious when she heard this.

At this time, Shen Mingjun mentioned it on the side: "My mother said that I want to give Xiaolang a family affair this year......"

Lin Dai went back to Ninghua with the Shen family at the beginning of the year, knowing that the old lady didn't like her as a granddaughter-in-law. The old lady meant. is to marry Shen Xi a "well-matched" wife, and she can follow Shen Xi, but she will be demoted from a wife to a concubine.

Zhou Shi drove the two little ones out of the door first and discussed the matter with Shen Mingjun, and Lin Dai hurriedly came over and pulled Shen Xi's sleeve. wants Shen Xi to "call the shots" for her.

Shen Xi smiled: "Little daughter-in-law, now you know that you are a husband?" ”

"Badass!"

Lin Dai turned around in a huff, just in time to see Lu Xi'er running in from the door.

"Brother Shen Xi......"

Lu Xi'er didn't know what it meant to be reserved, the first thing she did when she saw Shen Xi was to plunge into Shen Xi's arms and be coquettish for a while, and only after wiping all the ashes on her face on Shen Xi did she smile and stand up straight.

Hui Niang followed behind and smiled slightly: "Little girl, don't pester your brother Shen Xi, he will go out to do business in a while." ”

Lu Xi'er hugged Shen Xi's arm and rubbed her face against Shen Xi's arm.

Shen Mingjun and his wife came out. Gossip with Hui Niang.

Shen Mingjun wants to take Shen Xi to Feng Huaqi to thank the teacher, and Hui Niang and Zhou are going to the pharmacy.

……

……

When he arrived at Feng Yanqi's house, Feng Huaqi was relieved and laughed loudly, and his close friends heard that he had cultivated an eleven-year-old talent, and they also came over to say goodbye.

Feng Yuqi introduced Shen Xi in front of his old friends. These talents are good learners, as seniors. Shen Xi was tested on the spot, and Shen Xi answered like a stream, and deliberately did not cite some tricky and strange allusions, which made Feng Yuqi very satisfied.

Feng Yanqi is the most principled. On weekdays, if a student's family comes to give gifts, he will not accept them, but Shen Xi is in school, and he is very happy to accept this gift.

Shen Mingjun was grateful to Feng Yanqi, and knelt down directly to thank him, and Feng Yanqi hurriedly helped Shen Mingjun up. Said: "It's still Ling Lang's talent and intelligence, and it's good to be creative." If it weren't for Liu Tixue, the chief examiner of this year's college examination, to select talents impartially, otherwise Ling Lang would have lost his name to Sun Shan in the past two sessions. ”

Shen Mingjun didn't understand these things, but Shen Xi heard them clearly.

According to Feng Yuqi's meaning, Shen Xi Zhongsheng should be even more grateful to Liu Bing, who is not biased in his studies. But Liu Bing is a court official, and it is impossible to accept the gratitude of Xiucai for entering the school, otherwise it will attract rumors of bribery, but even so, the rumor that Shen Xi was "favoritial" by Liu Bing was still spread before the case.

Shen Xi thanked his teacher in the morning and went to the Confucianism Department to meet Master Tixue in the afternoon, but it was reported that Liu Bing had left ahead of schedule and could only meet the Fuxue teachings of Zheng Qipin.

Originally, according to the rules, after seeing the adult today, you have to fill in the pro-confession on the spot and choose to enter the Fuxue or the county school, but now that Liu Bing has left, it is presided over by the Fuxue Teaching, so this item is automatically omitted.

In this year's college examination, in view of the existence of such an alternative candidate as Shen Xi, the teaching decree of the Confucianism Department of the Prefecture decided that the first student would automatically enter the school and become a student, and then the four students with the best local grades in Changting County would be selected to supplement the students attached to the school.

In this way, even if Shen Xi ranks second in the college examination, he can only enter Ninghua County School to become an epistudent, and after the next year's annual examination, he will be qualified to participate in the township examination depending on whether he can be promoted to the school student.

At noon, Shen Xi had dinner at Feng Yanqi's house, although Shen Xi was young, he was also qualified to serve at the table because of his examination for the show.

On the contrary, Shen Mingjun seemed to be very inferior in the face of a group of talented and learned people, and he used the excuse that there was something in the printing workshop as an excuse to leave, leaving Shen Xi behind.

After lunch, Shen Xi went to the Confucian Education Department, and before he reached the door, he saw Su Tong waving to him, but he didn't see Zheng Qian's figure.

"Brother Shen, I know that you must be on the list." Su Tong asked with a smile, "But I don't know how many it is?" ”

Shen Xi smiled and said, "Second." ”

Su Tong shook his head slightly: "Sure enough, I did better than me in the exam, I only got fifth, and Brother Zheng is even more nameless." Do you know who is the head of this year's examination? ”

Seeing Shen Xi shaking his head, Su Tong sighed: "It's Gongzi Wu." ”

Shen Xi was relieved, it turned out to be Wu Xingyu who was above the top, this person lost him in the government test, and he has always been angry, and now that he has beaten him in the hospital test, it should be even more stinky and coaxing.
