East of Qingzhou Mansion, Sanyuan Back Street.

It seems to be an inconspicuous small street, but the terrain is quite good.

Because it is only two streets away from the Qingzhou Mansion, the security situation is quite good.

And because it is only one street away from the examination institute of Qingzhou Mansion and the famous Qingzhou Academy, except for the faint sound of reading aloud from Qingzhou Academy on weekdays, it seems quite quiet.

Most of the residents on this street are government officials and scholars, and they rarely hear noise on weekdays.

There is a small courtyard in the middle of the small street, which just changed hands two months ago, and the new owner is the Ye family in Houwu Village.

After the house changed hands, it has undergone some repairs, and a month ago Ye Qing took the lead in moving in with the little servant Zhao Chuan'er, who came to Fucheng to participate in the hospital examination.

Father Ye bought this courtyard in order to facilitate the grandchildren of the family to come to Fucheng for the exam.

Although Zhuangzi is not far from the city, it is also some distance.

In order to avoid accidents, you can't live in Zhuangzi outside the city during the exam.

The reason why Father Ye bought this small courtyard began in May, when Ye Qing took Zhao Chuan'er to Fucheng to participate in the government examination.

Although Ji Kang and Xie Huang reminded Ye Qing to come to Fucheng two days in advance, he almost didn't find a suitable inn.

If it weren't for the help of the Lin family, who had a room in the inn under the name of the Lin family not far from the examination institute, Ye Qing would have to live in an inn seven or eight streets away from the examination institute.

When the house tried to pass without danger, and Ye Qing tried to pass, Father Ye did not hesitate to buy this small courtyard with a lot of money.

Because the houses in this area are close to the government office, not far from the examination institute and Qingzhou College, the public security is good and the environment is quiet, and I feel that the price is naturally not cheap because of the respect of many readers, but for the future of his grandchildren, Father Ye spent almost half a year's income to buy the yard, and repaired it before the Ye Qingyuan exam, so that it has the current appearance.

In the past two years, the grape planting area of the Ye family has been expanding, the output of wine has also doubled, and persimmons have become a summer scene in Houwu Village.

Today, Houwu Village is not only a wine production base, but also a persimmon planting base, although the small Houwu Village has not yet become a tax pillar in Beixi County's honorable goals, but it has become a hidden trend.

Because of his outstanding achievements during his tenure, Lord Zunqian of Beixi County was given the opportunity to be promoted just after the expiration of his three-year term.

Although he was not transferred back to the capital as an official, he jumped two levels in a row and became the Wupin Tongzhi of Qingzhou Mansion at the beginning of the year, in charge of agricultural affairs and education in the imperial examination.

With the expansion of the grape planting area, the original slaves were no longer enough, and the Ye family bought many slaves in the past two years.

Zhao Chuan'er is one of them, because he is the same age as Ye Qing, knows some words, and is also smart, Father Ye gave Zhao Chuan'er to Ye Qing as a servant.

Ye Qing is already a sixteen-year-old boy, and for the first time this year, he successfully passed the county examination in February and the government examination in May, and took Zhao Kuan'er to live in this courtyard in mid-July, in order to take the hospital examination in early August.

In a blink of an eye, it was August 18, which was the day of the examination list of the hospital, and Zhao Chuan'er, who was Ye Qing's little servant, rushed to the examination institute early in the morning to see the list.

Ye Zhan, Ye Shen and Lin Wan came to Fucheng from Houwu Village two days ago, in order to share the good news as soon as possible.

None of the elders in the family were able to come over, because this season was the busiest time for the Ye family. Jushuku

Although the family bought a lot of slaves, Qi Gui father and son, Jin Wang father and son, each of them can take charge of themselves, but Father Ye still firmly controls the key technology of making wine in his own hands.

Even if Father Ye cared about Ye Qing's exam, he couldn't withdraw at this time, so he could only let Ye Zhan, Brother Ye Shen and Lin Wan come to Fucheng to accompany Ye Qing.

At this moment, Ye Zhan was anxiously urging Ye Shen, who was cleaning up in the house: "Third brother, do you still want to go to the list, why are you so slow?!" ”

Lin Wan sat in the courtyard with a book, and looked at Ye Zhan who was jumping in a hurry with a smile: "Second brother, Jin Xiaoman, Zhao Chuan'er and Qi Xiaowu and Qi Dabao have already gone to see the list, I don't think you and the third brother need to go, there must be a lot of people who go to the examination institute to see the list today, why do you bother to squeeze this excitement!" ”

Lin Wan is eight years old this year, although her body has not yet grown, and her face is still a little baby fat, but her words and deeds are already very beautiful, and her voice is like a pearl falling on a jade plate, which is clear and crisp and very pleasant.

Today, Ye Qing is the protagonist, but there is no trace of anxiety on his face, and he is writing unhurriedly with a pen at this moment.

Ye Qing's calmness and steadiness made Ye Zhan more and more lively and less stable.

After listening to Lin Wan's words at this time, Ye Qing put down the brush in his hand and said, "Wanwan is right, why do you two bother to squeeze this excitement." Besides, if you are lucky, someone will come here to report the good news, if you don't win, no matter how many people go, you will still not win. ”

At this time, Ye Shen happened to come out of the house, and Ye Zhan said while pulling Ye Shen out: "Oh, big brother, sister, you don't understand this, what we want is this excitement!" ”

Ye Qing shook his head helplessly, and a trace of envy flashed from the bottom of his eyes.

He also wanted to go to the government office to watch the list and feel the excitement, but he was worried that he would not be able to stand the excitement, and he was even more worried that if he could not pass the exam, he would be embarrassed on the spot, so he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and sit at home and wait for the news.

Lin Wan had already seen Ye Qing's anxiety and uneasiness, just looking at the words he wrote today, he could know that Ye Qing's heart was not as calm as it seemed, and he persuaded Ye Zhan and Ye Shen not to rush to the excitement just now, but also wanted them to stay and interrupt Ye Qing, but the two brothers didn't notice Ye Qing's nervousness.

Lin Wan had to talk to Ye Qing without a pair to relieve Ye Qing's nervousness.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and about two quarters of an hour after Ye Zhan and the others left the courtyard, they heard Zhao Kuan'er's voice change a little with joy outside: "Hit, hit!" The eldest prince is hit! ”

With Zhao Chuan'er's shout, Ye Zhan, Ye Shen, and their little servants Qi Zhenting and Qi Dabao, as well as Father Ye, specially arranged for Jin Xiaoman, who had come to break the list, also returned to the courtyard happily.

Hearing the movement, the neighbors gathered in front of the courtyard to congratulate Ye Qing, and Lin Wan took out the candy melon seeds and peanuts that had been prepared a long time ago to entertain them, so that everyone could share this joy together.

It was lively here, and the people who reported the good news from the yamen had also arrived, and Lin Wan had already inquired about these procedures, and naturally understood that it was not good for the people who reported the good news to the yamen, and it was not good to send them away with candy, melon seeds and peanuts, so she had prepared red envelopes early.

After sending the officials who reported the good news and sending away Daoxi's neighbors, the brothers and sisters had time to say hello to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's results this time are not very good, although it is not the last, it can only be regarded as a low-altitude flight with a tail, but even so is a thing worth celebrating.

After all, Ye Qing is only sixteen years old, and it has only been three years since he officially entered school, and he has won the show talent in the first exam, compared to those who have failed the list, Ye Qing can already be regarded as young and talented.

The eldest son of Xie Hui, the head of Hongfeng Village, has participated in the hospital examination for the third time this year, and the result is still in the name of Sun Shan.

I don't know how the Xie clan people in Hongfeng Village should be envious, jealous and remorse when they get this news!

Although according to the laws of the Dayu Kingdom, Xiucai did not have a state salary, but he could obtain certain privileges, such as the family could be exempted from forced labor and taxes on seventy acres of land, and Xiucai himself had the right to make suggestions to the county officials.

In short, after the examination of Xiucai, enter, you can go to the next level to continue to participate in the examination, once the examination is lifted, you will have the opportunity to officially enter the official scholar class; If you retire, you can open a private school to teach and educate people.

Ye Qing is talented, and it also makes the Ye family a real family of cultivation and reading.
