Chapter 573: Cannon Fodder Cousin Fourteen Through the Village Girl
In a blink of an eye, two years have passed, and it is the day of autumn again. Su Laosan is going to the provincial capital to catch the exam.
Now that the family is rich, both Li and Su Qingni don't want Su Laosan to suffer, in addition to giving fifty taels for travel expenses, Su Qingni also proposed to go to the provincial capital with Su Laosan and take care of Su Laosan along the way.
The Li family is very much in favor of this, compared to Su Laosan, who lacks in other aspects except reading, the Li family trusts Su Qingni, a son who has learned skills from the immortals. is the travel fee, and the Li family is also handed over to Su Qingni to manage, for fear that Su Laosan will lose the money.
Su Qingni took care of him along the way, and Su Laosan didn't suffer much, and came to the provincial capital smoothly. In the past three times, because of the tight travel expenses and the fact that he was not familiar with mundane affairs, he suffered a lot on the road, which led to poor health, which became one of the factors affecting the performance of the examination room.
This time, Su Qingni helped him solve this problem first.
When she arrived in the provincial capital, Su Qingni spent a lot of money to book a first-class room in the inn, and the bed was naturally given to Su Laosan to sleep in. She lays on the floor. However, she didn't sleep every night, but meditated and practiced to pass the time.
The condition of the superior room is very good, the bedding is very clean, the sound insulation of the room is also good, Su Laosan sleeps at night without being disturbed, and can sleep until dawn. If you sleep well, your spirit will be better, and you will be able to concentrate when you read a book during the day. And if you read a book in the room, you won't be disturbed by people outside.
Su Laosan was full of emotion about this: "I used to sleep in the Chase Shop, not only was I so noisy that I couldn't sleep at night, but I couldn't read during the day. Sure enough, it's good to have money. ”
Su Qingni grinned: "Then Dad, you have to work hard to get in, so as to live up to the money spent." ”
Su Laosan nodded solemnly.
The exam finally arrived, Su Qingni and Su Laosan got up early in the morning, had breakfast, and went to the examination room.
Although it was still dark, there was already a long queue outside the examination room. It's just that the door of the examination room hasn't opened yet, and people can only wait outside, at least for some time.
Su Qingni saw that there were nimble vendors selling wooden stools nearby, which could be bought with a dozen copper plates, but now they cost a hundred copper plates. It's really a starting price.
However, many of the candidates have money in their families, they have stood for a long time, their legs are sore, and they don't care about the dozens of copper plates, so they have paid for stools to sit down and rest. Su Qingni also paid for Su Laosan to buy one. Su Laosan didn't have much of an idea of prices, so he didn't reprimand Su Qingni for spending money indiscriminately.
After about half an hour, the door of the examination room finally opened, and the candidates began to enter. Su Qingni watched Su Laosan enter the examination room and returned to the inn with a small bench.
The days of waiting were not difficult, Su Qingni nested in the guest room to make medicine, and the nine days passed in a flash. Su Qingni went to pick up Su Laosan outside the examination room. Because he has eaten well and has balanced nutrition in the past two years, Su Laosan's health is very good, although he is very sluggish, he is not sick and has not fainted. Looking around, there are quite a few people who fall as soon as they come out.
Su Qingni took Su Laosan back to the inn, let him sleep well, and got up the next day and ate a big bowl of noodles before he came back to life.
In the following days, the two still stayed in the provincial capital and waited for the results. Some candidates from poor families have already returned to their hometowns to wait for their results, and Su Laosan originally wanted to return to his hometown, but Su Qingni said that his family was not bad for money, so that Su Laosan could stay in the provincial capital, so that he could know the results of the autumn season for the first time, and he could also communicate with other students, participate in various literary meetings, and get acquainted with people.
Although Su Laosan is not familiar with secular affairs, he is a good learner, and he is also smart and good at recognizing people, and he has also made a lot of friends.
Su Qingni's Taoist master is also online again, every time Su Laosan goes to participate in the cultural meeting, Su Qingni will put on the old Taoist priest and go to the street to wander, "meeting a few destined people on the way".
The first time I "met" someone who was destined, it was naturally not believed. But Su Qingni directly said what happened in a short period of time to someone who was destined to do so, and pointed out how to avoid it. This time, in order to make a name for himself, Su Qingni found a person who was destined to be a very famous gentleman in the provincial capital. However, this person is the same as Li Wenyuan's son, he is stubborn, but his heart is not bad, otherwise Su Qingni would not have found him. If it was really a bad person, Su Qingni didn't care about that person at all.
Two days later, that gentleman really encountered what Su Qingni said, and because of Su Qingni's guidance, that person avoided danger.
The gentleman and the people of his family were happy and grateful, and prepared a rich thank you gift to thank Su Qingni. Su Qingni's reputation spread in the provincial capital again. Su Qingni occasionally appeared on the street again, causing people in the provincial capital to rush to ask him to tell his fortune and offer him a rich hexagram.
During the period when he was waiting for the results of Qiu Yu to come out, Su Qingni transferred thousands of taels of silver.
The results of Qiu Yu finally came out, and Su Laosan was really on the list this time, and he was ranked twenty-third.
Su Laosan was overjoyed, smiled at the list and cried. Su Qingni quite understands his mood at the moment, because he didn't pass the exam in the first three times, Su Laosan has suffered a lot of ridicule and white eyes, that is, his brothers have changed their attitude towards him, and Su Laosan's psychological pressure is not insignificant.
At this moment, he finally passed the exam, and he can finally raise his eyebrows, and see if his brother and sister-in-law dare to say that he is a waste.
Su Qingni packed up the package and followed Su Laosan back to his hometown with honor, and the news of his victory arrived in the village before them. When the two returned to their hometown, the villagers waited at the entrance of the village to greet the only man in the village.
Su Laohan and Mrs. Su were surrounded by the villagers and stood at the front, Li took Su Qingni to stand beside the two, and Su Laoda and Su Lao Er stood behind Su Laohan and Su Laotai, with complicated expressions and regret in their eyes. I knew that Su Laosan would be able to pass the exam, what did they do with him?
Su Qingni saw that the corners of Qian and Zhang's mouths were bruised, and it seemed that they were beaten by their own men, who told them to keep blowing the wind in the man's ears and pampering the man to split up.
Su Laosan is glorious this time, because his status has improved, the entire Su family has been stained, and the fields of the Su family are recorded under Su Laosan's name, and those fields will not have to pay taxes in the future, and all the output in them will go to the Su family's own people.
As a result, Su Laosan has a great say in the Su family's clan and in the village.
However, Su Laosan is not a person who likes to play with power, and after dealing with other people who came to congratulate him, Su Laosan sent away the people who came to the door in various names to study and learn to cope with the spring of the next spring.
However, he can study in retreat, but Li, the head of the house, can't hide from the people who come to the house.
