When the five grandsons of the Zhou family finally returned to the village in the expectation of the Zhou family, several people welcomed the Zhou family, and the old man led the family to stand at the gate to greet them.

From a distance, he saw the Zhou family's carriage coming from a distance, and the old man was so excited that his whole body trembled a little.

"Hey, it's back, it's back."

Zhou saw the eldest son driving the carriage, and after the carriage stopped, several grandsons got off the carriage one by one, and her mean face actually showed a rare kind smile that an old man should have.

"Dad, mother, why did you come out?" The eldest Zhou Yanguo was a little uncomfortable when he saw his father and mother waiting outside the house.

"Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Didn't you know you'd be back today? Just come out and have a look. You're tired, let's go into the house. ”

The old man waved his hand to say that it was nothing, but his eyes had already seen a few grandsons, and seeing that they were all fine, his mood was much better, after all, the grandsons were fine, safe and sound, healthy and safe.

Zhou Ziya saw the expressions of several brothers, and it was obvious that several people were different, especially her third brother Zhou Zixiong, and Zhou Zizhu from the big house. The third brother is a loss on his face that is very obvious. She guessed in her heart, but she was afraid that his exam would not be good this time.

As for Zhou Zizhu in the big house, her expression didn't look very confident, with a sad look on her face, she guessed that she definitely didn't have any confidence now.

When the family entered the house, Zhou felt that his sons and grandsons must be hungry after driving for so long, so he first asked his daughters-in-law to wash their faces, and then took some pastries to eat for his grandsons and sons to fill their stomachs first. Obviously, Zhou's patriarchy is very obvious at this time.

When he finished cleaning up, the old man was already impatient, and at this time he hurriedly asked, "Zishu, Zihu, how do you feel about the exam?" Are you sure it will pass? "The old man has been looking forward to such a thing as a show at home for too long.

This ancient nature also belonged to Shinong industry and commerce, and not only could you be exempted from taxation if you were admitted to Xiucai, but also from conscription, the most important thing is that you were a literati when you became a Xiucai, and it was completely different to be respected for further study. The identity is different. The Zhou family is the real turnover.

He didn't dare to think about it before, but now that there is hope, the old man is naturally full of expectations, of course, he didn't expect that all his grandchildren could be in Xiucai, after all, in the old man's heart, Xiucai is not so good. As long as one or two of the five grandchildren win, he will be very satisfied.

Zhou Zishu and several people answered in turn, and sure enough, just as Zhou Ziya guessed, his third brother was completely shocked, and he said with a lot of guilt that he was not sure. Zhou Zizhu said that he also felt that the question was difficult and unsure. Zhou Zishu answered conservatively and said that he had finished the question, but he also felt that the question was very difficult. His eldest brother, who has always belonged to the hot and arrogant type, his answer is also very outstanding. It means that he is very sure, how simple the question is, and so on. How awesome he is or something. Only his second brother completely lived up to his cunning title, and that answer simply made Zhou Ziya feel that a unique word could be replaced. When his good second brother answered, he first flipped it modestly, and then said that he had finished the questions, and checked them carefully, thinking that those questions had basically been taught by the master, and he had memorized all the questions. I was going to go to the master to discuss it, so that I could really be mentally prepared.
