Chapter 177: Back then
Song Tian's wound scabbed over after a few days.
On this day, Song Ercai took him to the He Family Medical Center for a follow-up, and after coming out, he asked Wang Daniu to drive the car to the government to see the list.
The government-style list is a child, and Song Ercai also came to the exam that year, and he won it only once.
Ten days before the exam has ended, and today is the release of the results.
Song Ercai and they came not too late, and the list has not yet been released, but the outside of the mansion is already full of students or relatives who have come to see the list.
Song Ercai didn't take his son to join in the fun, but was going to sit in the teahouse diagonally opposite and take his son to feel the atmosphere.
The two had just gotten out of the carriage and had not yet entered the door of the teahouse when they heard someone inside chanting poetry against each other.
Song Tian frowned, and Song Ercai explained: "This is what those students call poetry clubs on weekdays, which are all spontaneously organized, learning from each other or comparing, so that drinking tea or drinking becomes less boring." ”
Song Ercai also participated in it back then, and he was full of interest at first, and he really thought that there would be some rare gains, but later he found out that it was nothing more than everyone finding a way to get together to entertain themselves, and sometimes they would argue endlessly and offend others.
Song Tian nodded and followed his father into the teahouse.
The first floor of the teahouse was almost full, and in the middle there were two large tables that could seat ten or twenty people, and at this time those old and young students were standing and sitting, spitting and arguing about whose pair was right and whose poems were good.
The big table was very lively, but there were no side dishes on the table, only two pots of tea and some dried fruits such as ordinary peanuts, which looked a little shabby.
On the other hand, the small tables by the window are obviously sitting with sons and daughters from some families, not only dressed bright and decent, but also the refreshments on the table are rare and exquisite.
When the young man saw that a decent guest had finally arrived, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Song Ercai asked for a private room on the second floor, and there would be a mess under the list for a while, he didn't want to affect his son, so he just had a look by the window then.
When I came to the second floor, the situation was similar to the following, except that the space was limited, there was only one large table, and the place where the small table should have been placed became a private room with a large screen.
Song Ercai's compartment was on the far left, and Song Tian was about to go in with his father, not wanting someone behind him to suddenly call him.
Song Tian thought he was hallucinating, turned his head to look, and saw Fu Yuanxun and Yan Shi walking towards him.
Both of them are from Class C, and Fu Yuanxun is still a closed disciple of the hall owner.
"Brother Fu, Brother Yan."
Song Tian bowed, the two of them saluted back, and asked with some curiosity: "Brother Song, why are you here?" ”
Xiaowa, who is only ten years old, can't come to the exam, and everyone didn't see him during the county exam.
"My father came to Fucheng to do business, and he just came out to see the world."
Song Tian didn't mention that he came out to see the injury, but the two of them saw that the scars on his face were different, and there were traces of brown potion, and they also understood in their hearts.
But these are other people's privacy and taboos, and if others don't talk about it, they won't mention it, so they don't ask again.
Just at this time, Song Er came out, knowing that they were students from the Cangshan Academy, and invited him to drink tea in the grid.
A few people sat down, and Song Tian asked about the others.
This time, there were more than a dozen Cangshan School Museum going out to participate in the county examination and the children's examination.
When Song Tian didn't set off, those who failed in the county test had already gone back, and now those who came here were all students who took the Kaojia child exam.
The two of them briefly mentioned that there were eight people who took the exam here, but they came to the teahouse to participate in the poetry meeting, and a few others were in the inn, and two were already waiting for the list below.
A few people chatted casually, and then Song Ercai stood by the window with a tea cup and looked ahead, and when he saw the crowded scene outside the yamen, he couldn't help but think back to himself.
At the age of fifteen, he passed the county examination and became a child, and he had already begun to be crowded by people when he went out, and he would always be praised by others wherever he went.
At that time, he was also proud and high, and he was also excited and complacent when he saw his name in the top of the gambling house on the day of the release, but it was a pity that he was ......
Song Ercai sighed secretly, thinking that back then, eleven people in the Cangshan Academy were referenced, and only two of them were selected for Xiucai.
If the two of them were above him, Song Er would not say anything, but sighed that they were usually inferior to themselves, but in the end they were on the list.
This is what he regrets, and this regret is a few years, everyone says that he can do it, and he will not stop at Xiucai, but in the end, he didn't even get a Xiucai......
"Hey, don't squeeze, don't squeeze!"
During the brewing room, the crowd below was in a commotion, and Song Ercai looked at it, and saw the handyman who released the list coming out with the list.
The men struck the gong, told the crowd to back off, and began to put up their posts.
The students in the teahouses next to them heard the sound of the gong pouring out like a tide, and Fu Yuanxun hurriedly said to Yan Shi and went down.
For a while, the teahouse was empty, and only Song Ercai's father and son snuggled by the window, looking at the crowd that kept pouring out in the distance.
Song Tian was also a little envious when he saw that the people below were excited as if they were going to fight, and he didn't know when he also became one of them, although he might not be able to win, but he had some expectations.
Song Tian thought beautifully, but it didn't take long for some people below to howl and cry.
's laughter, the crying of the loser, soon became a pot of porridge.
This time, a few people in the Cangshan School Hall are not bad, four of the eight people are children, although they are not ranked, they are okay, if they can show their talents in the college examination in August, they can participate in the triennial township examination next year.
The four people in the exam were hugged into the teahouse, Song Tian also stepped forward to say congratulations, and then politely declined everyone's invitation to eat and drink, and followed Song Ercai to leave and return to Hefu.
In the days that followed, the father and son rarely went out after visiting Jiangfu City.
After the first wound scabbed over, it fell off after about ten days, Song Ercai took his son to the He family medical hall again, Lao Langzhong looked at the skin that was still flushed when the newborn came out, nodded and said:
"The recovery is okay, as long as his wound is not infected and inflamed, it should be able to grow flat by cutting off these red skin and convex flesh, but it is not a matter of a year or two to completely eliminate the red marks, fortunately, the doll is still young, and when it grows up, it may fade away."
Lang Zhong can't be sure of anything, everything depends on Song Tian's recovery and physique.
Even if the red mark can't be completely eliminated, it's good to be able to remove the protruding scar, Song Ercai thanked him, and then waited for another five days at Langzhong's request, so that the previous wound could recover again, and then the next skin cutting could be carried out.
Song Ercai nodded, and then mentioned whether he could go home and recover on his own after cutting the skin.
"Yes, take care of the medicine and do what I say, and then come over depending on the situation."
Lao Langzhong looked at the father and son, and then asked, "I don't know where the two of you are at home, is it convenient to come and go?" ”
