About another hour passed, and it was estimated that the list should be sung, but there was no more small guy outside the door to report the good news, so the atmosphere in the front hall was even more solemn.

At this time, even if he was as optimistic as Xin Wei, he couldn't help but feel lost, and his gentle smile could no longer hide his disappointment.

This time I really fell off the list, even if I had prepared for it in my heart, but when it came to the end, I still felt unbearable.

However, because of his health, he couldn't practice martial arts since he was a child, and even if Xin Wei reluctantly went to the school to practice, he mostly ended in failure, so to speak, even if the Xin family is his nephew a few years old, he can play a good hand with a spear, only he can't even hold an iron gun of more than ten catties. In other words, he is not as good as his little nephew.

This kind of blow has been borne a lot, which has also caused Xin Wei's ability to resist pressure is not bad. So even if I was a little disappointed when I fell off the list, I was in a good mood in an instant.

Xin Wei can see it, and he also thinks that the future will be long, and he can try again in three years, on the other hand, Zheng Shunming and Wang Ke feel that this blow is too big.

Wang Ke showed a look on his face that seemed to cry but not cry, and seemed to laugh but not laugh; Zheng Shunming even hid his face with his hands to prevent everyone from seeing his lonely expression.

The aura on both of them was very depressing, which made Xin Wei worried.

After all, it is not Qiufu now, Qiuqiu is still a competition among students in the entire Shuozhou, and everyone's educational environment is about the same, so the possibility of being on the list is in the number of five or five.

But Chunfu is different from the past, that is to compete with all the students in the entire Daqi territory for those hundreds of tribute places. Jiangnan people are outstanding and humanistic; The students in Kyoto are even more beautiful, with high intelligence and talent; There are a lot of students in these two places, in addition to Taizhou, Jintang and other places, which place is not full of students and famous teachers and Confucians? It is really more difficult to compete with the students in these places for the tribute quota than to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. Therefore, it is not uncommon to fall off the list, and the key is to learn from it and make persistent efforts.

Xin Wei realized something in his heart, so he opened his mouth and said a few words. At the moment, he is the only one who can speak, after all, Father Lin is already a tribute, and if he says some comforting words, it seems to be showing, and it is not very good. And Xu Erlang ,...... That's the biggest problem.

Speaking of Xu Erlang's achievements, Wang Ke and Zheng Shunming are no longer immersed in Fang Cai's grief and loneliness. After all, they also had a premonition earlier, and they had been prepared for a long time.

But if they fall off the list, they will fall off the list, why did Runzhi also fall off the list?

Father Lin said slowly at this time, "I'm afraid that Erlang's ranking is relatively high, and now the people who reported the good news haven't rushed over." ”

Xin Wei said, "I hope so." ”

That being said, they still feel a little untrue that Xu Erlang will be in the top few exams. After all, when they participated in the Autumn Festival together, the level of several people was about the same. And in just three years, they fell off the list, and Runzhi not only made the list, but also got into the top few? Is this possible?

As it turns out, it is possible.

Xu Erlang not only did very high in the exam, but also almost came out on top.

said that he almost came out on top, then it was naturally not Huiyuan, but it was not bad, and he would take the second place in the exam, second only to a student from Guozijian.

This ranking is really top-notch.

The little guy outside bumped into the messenger who came to announce the good news.

The messenger rode a tall horse and struck a gong in his hand, attracting the attention of many people along the way. At least the entire people in Willow Hutong were shocked, they just heard a report from someone, saying that the father-in-law of Xu Xianggong next door had won the tribute, and their relationship with Xu Mansion was not far away, and they were thinking about what kind of congratulatory gift to give. Unexpectedly, before the gift was figured out, the sound of gongs was heard again.

Those who can work on errand duty to report the good news must have achieved very good results.

When everyone learned that Xu Erlang won the second place, their eyes rolled quickly in shock. They all feel that the Xu family is going to get up, and now it is a critical time to pull the relationship, so they all hurried home to the warehouse, ready to give heavy gifts to the Xu family, so as to have a friendship with Xu Erlang "intersecting in Weimo".

Not to mention how shocked the people of Willow Hutong were, and how they looked lively, crowding the entire gate of the house. Let's say that the few people waiting in the front hall heard that Xu Erlang had such a good result, and they were all surprised to congratulate him in their disappointment.

Zheng Shunming said first, "Don't say anything else, just talk about Runzhi's achievements, I'm afraid that since the place of Pingyang Town, I haven't had this good reputation." Runzhi is enough to be recorded in Pingyang Town's "Biography of Celebrities" this time. ”

Zheng Shunming suddenly reacted, in this way, Father Lin should also be recorded in "Biography of Celebrities", after all, only Father Lin and Runzhi are the only ones who have been ranked above in the examination. Coincidentally, these two are still in a son-in-law relationship. If this is recorded in "Biography of Celebrities", it will also be a beautiful story.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this matter was feasible, Zheng Shunming was not entangled and sad for a while, so he said what was in his heart, and then packed the ticket and said, "Runzhi will not return to his hometown in a short time, Uncle Lin concentrates on teaching students, and I am afraid that he will not have the heart to be busy with these things." Since this is the case, the matter will be handed over to me, and when I go back to Pingyang, I will find the person who wrote the county chronicle and record the matter specifically. This is a good thing to leave a name in history, why do I get more and more excited the more I think about it. ”

Xu Erlang: "...... It's good if you're happy. ”

Wang Ke also came back to his senses from his melancholy, and also arched his hand to Xu Erlang, "Congratulations to Brother Run." ”

Xin Wei also said goodbye.

For a while, Xu Chong ran over from the courtyard, and when he came in, he shouted excitedly, "Second brother, I heard that you have won the gongshi, is it the second place?" ”

Xu Chong followed Wang Sunping and Xuanhe to run wild, especially after the last horseback ride in the suburbs, the three of them also rode for fun. No, I went out when I had nothing to do in the past two days, and I didn't go home when it was dark.

Xu Erlang and Jin Niang both thought that his time at ease was only a few days now. So I turned a blind eye to what he did. Unexpectedly, this kid still has a conscience, and he is still worried about his second brother's achievements, and on this day, he was stunned until the results were all sung, and then he decided to go to the suburbs with Xuanhe Wang Sunping.

Outcome...... The second brother is too powerful, and he directly took a good ranking, so he can't go to this suburb. He's going to reply to the hospitality, and he's busy for a while. So Xu Chong threw the two friends directly in place, and ran back on horseback.

Wang Sunping and Xuanhe, who are still sending people to find Xu Chong: "......"

Jin Niang also knew the good news of her father and Xu Erlang's listing for the first time in the back house, and she smiled and bent her eyes at that time.

is also because Xu Erlang Zhongxiucai and Zhongju have experienced it herself, so she also knows what to do this time, so she ordered it in an orderly manner and let Pian Pian find someone to carry it out.

First of all, it is natural to sprinkle copper, which is called spreading blessings, and those who pick up copper coins are lucky to pick up. There are even some families with students, and they even come to pick up copper coins, and the sudden thing is that their children are also as promising. Even if there are no scholars in the family, everyone will share these copper coins, after all, it is a blessing, who wouldn't like it?

also because there are two people in the family on the list, Jin Niang is very arrogant and asks people to carry six baskets of copper coins out to scatter. In addition, he also added two months of monthly income to the rest of the family, which can be regarded as everyone's joy.

Seeing this moment of effort, a hundred and ten taels of silver slipped out of her hands, and she was also distressed.

The little girl frowned, thinking that the abrasive little goblin of silver was really unspoiled. Let's see, if you need to spend money in a place, it is simply unrealistic to expect to save some money to cover your daily expenses, so you still have to find a way to earn money, so as to ensure that your family has always lived a good life.

Xu Erlang and Jinniang won't know that it is precisely because of the "spending money like flowing water" at home today that Pianpian has an urgent desire to make money. This is why there is a later "money string", otherwise, there is no stimulation today, I am afraid that Pian Pian will continue to live a muddy life.

And now, with a clear goal of struggle, and also feel that it is her responsibility to support her family, the little girl has started to work hard and work hard to earn money.

There was a happy event in the house, and the number of people giving gifts outside gradually increased, but after a while, the gate was blocked.

Chang'an and Changping were absent-minded in class because they learned that their second uncle was on the list. Now that there are more guests outside, the noise is louder, and the two of them are disturbed and have no intention of listening to the class, and their minds have run outside.

Seeing this, Mr. Qian smiled good-naturedly, and let the two go back.

The two looked at each other and smiled and saluted Master Qian, and then rushed back to the backyard to find Jinniang, ready to listen to her aunt's instructions to see if she could help do something.

These two grades are not big, but they are tall, and in the eyes of those who don't know, they are still very capable of bluffing. So Jin Niang didn't have the slightest sense of guilt about "hiring" child labor, so she sent the two to Xu Chong in the front yard, and let Xu Chong watch and assign work to the two.

Xu Chong was in a hurry, but fortunately, two strong men came over, so he unceremoniously asked one person to take the guest to the second uncle, and asked the other person to stay to entertain some decent stewards. As for him, he's busy, haven't you seen him talk politely to people?

On this day, Xufu was lively until midnight.

In short, when Xu Erlang went back to the backyard, Jin Niang had already fallen asleep.

Xu Erlang washed off the smell of wine all over his body, and drank the sobering soup that Jin Niang specially asked people to cook for him, and then lay down beside her carefully.

It's a pity that even though his movements have been as light as possible, he still woke up Jinniang.

As soon as Jin Niang woke up, her stomach also moved violently, and the arc of a small fist visible to the naked eye was drawn from left to right, making her can't help but let out an "oops".

Xu Erlang was so shocked that he sat up directly, "What's the matter, but I rubbed your stomach?" ”

Jin Niang cried and laughed and said, "No, this little guy is naughty." I can't say that my stomach is a swimming place, and it slides in it so much. ”

While Xu Erlang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, he couldn't help but gently put his hand on her belly, and it happened that the baby inside moved again, and kicked directly into Xu Erlang's palm.

Both of them couldn't help but laugh at this moment.

Xu Erlang said, "It's a sturdy one." ”

Jin Niang said, "I guess let Pian Pian say it accurately, and he may really be a kid." This is so strong that my belly hurts when I kick it. But this kid is a little good, but he is not so skinny, I want to be so noisy at the beginning, and I tumble in my stomach all day long, and it doesn't stop for a quarter of an hour. The kid was quiet, and he moved three or four times a day, mostly when I was awake. He slept when I fell asleep, and he didn't disturb my sleep, but it was intimate. ”

Xu Erlang's reddish face became softer and softer, his slender palm slowly rubbed on Jin Niang's belly, his tone was light and shallow, but with indescribable joy and love, "It's good to be a girl or a boy, and we are happy and prosperous, and there is no shortage of children." As long as the child is healthy, the rest will be fine. ”

Jin Niang lay on Xu Erlang's waist and laughed sullenly, this person is really content. She laughed for a while and was a little choked, Xu Erlang patted her on the back again, and finished taking the warm tea on the bedside table for her to drink.

Jin Niang drank two sips and got better, lying down honestly, no longer daring to be a demon, Xu Erlang also lay on his side on the bed at this time, facing Jin Niang, he kneaded Jing Niang's earlobe with one hand, and said softly, "Jin Niang, I have won the tribute." ”

Jin Niang smiled, "Congratulations, husband." ”

Xu Erlang was able to vent the surging joy in his heart at this time, he lay on the side of Jin Niang's neck, smelling her fragrant breath, and said with a smile, "I can do well in the exam, and I am expected to be the first in the palace exam...... Jin Niang, you wait for me, wait for me to invite you to give you a commandment. ”

Xu Erlang obviously drank a little too much, and slowly became drunk, and the whole person chattered. Fortunately, he tasted good wine, that is, his words were thicker, and he fell asleep after talking for a while, but he would not vomit and toss crazy people on their backs.

The breathing sound on the side of her ears gradually became even, and Jin Niang knew that Xu Erlang was asleep.

He slept soundly, and after a while a shallow nasal voice came, as if he was about to snore.

Snoring Xu Erlang...... She hasn't seen it yet. Imagining that picture, Jin Niang couldn't help laughing, it really damaged Xu Erlang's image as a male god.

Thinking so, Jin Niang really laughed.

She patted Xu Erlang's back and went down and down, her heart was full of tenderness and sweetness, as well as the tranquility and comfort of the years.

It's a pity that her leisure and comfort are all supported by this man.

How much pressure he had before, Jin Niang knew. How anxious he is, Jin Niang can also get a glimpse of it.

Fortunately, he has gradually grown up and increased his ability, and he can completely carry the prosperity of Xu Mansion in Pingyang Town.

He can do it all.

Qing He heard that there was no sound in the house, but the candle had not been extinguished, so he looked at Qing Miao and walked in quietly.

As a result, when I walked to the bed, I saw that the male protagonist was already asleep, and the female protagonist was obviously thinking about things, and she was a little distracted.

Qing He was a little embarrassed and shouted softly, "Madam." ”

After Jin Niang came back to her senses, she pointed to the candle on the side of the table, Qing He responded lightly, and walked over lightly to drop the bed surrounding, and then blew out the candle and walked out quietly.

There was no wind outside the window, only the moonlight sprinkled with silver light, and the whole world seemed to fall asleep at this time, and there was silence.
