Chapter 274: Admitted to the Tongsheng
The days passed slowly, and Zhang Langzhong's family also invited a matchmaker to Liu's family to propose the fourth sister.
The first Nacai, the second Najib, the fourth Najib, and the fifth request have all been completed.
Originally, the Zhang family wanted to marry the fourth sister in February, but on the eighth day of the second month, the seventh brother took the children's examination, and the Liu family was preparing for the seventh brother's children's examination, and the fourth sister's marriage date had to be moved back.
Fortunately, the fourth sister is only 16 years old this year, and she is not very old, and the date of marriage with the Zhang family is set on the third day of the fourth sister's birthday, May 14.
Tongsheng Examination: Also called "Tongsheng Examination", candidates regardless of age are called Tongsheng, and after passing the examination, they can obtain the qualification of students, so as to participate in the imperial examination.
The county examination is conducted in each county, presided over by the magistrate, and there are five consecutive examinations. After passing the examination, the prefectural examination presided over by the officials of the prefectural government will be held in April, and the examination will be held three times in a row. Those who pass the county and government examinations can be called "children".
On February 18, the county examination began, and in addition to the three sisters of Liu Yiyu who were married, all other people, including Yan Xiucai's family of three, came to the county seat to accompany the seventh brother to take the exam.
The county exam, five exams in a row, need to stay in it for five days, eat and sleep, everything is in the designated examination room, until the time is up, the exam will not come out.
"Clothes, water, dry food, dried meat, and the sachet that my mother made for you to wake up, and ........." Before entering the examination room, Liu Li sorted out the things one by one, for fear of missing something in.
"Mother, you've checked it seven times, you don't have to worry, everything you prepare for your son can be used for seven or eight days."
"Let's go inside! Be careful with the questions, check them twice, and treat them with a normal heart." Before entering, Yan Xiucai confessed.
"Well, wait for me to come out". Liu Yiyang nodded heavily and walked towards the examination room.
Before entering the examination room, there are officials who carefully check the things that candidates bring into the examination room to prevent people from entrapment and plagiarism.
However, once cheating is discovered, it is directly kicked out of the examination room, and it is not allowed to take the test again within ten years.
The five-day wait is anxious and worried, and I am also worried, afraid that the seventh brother will be able to adapt to it after staying in it for five days.
After five days passed, Liu Li kept looking at the door of the examination room.
When the red door opened, waves of candidates came out, these candidates were eleven or twelve years old, older, and old people who were dying.
Most of these candidates were pale and haggard, their clothes were messy and wrinkled, and they all looked like they were not in good spirits.
What's more, there are people who are carried out.
"Yiyang, what's going on over here?". After the sharp-eyed Yan Wenqing saw Liu Yiyang, he hurriedly waved his hand and shouted.
After everyone in the Liu Li clan also saw it, they hurriedly greeted them.
"Let's go back to Zhuangzi, my mother stewed a chicken for you to make up for it, and stayed in it for five days, and my mother saw that you had lost a lot of weight?" After Liu Li saw that Liu Yiyang's face was pale, and he was a little sluggish, and he didn't look energetic, Liu Li suddenly said distressedly.
Liu Yiyang yawned, nodded, and didn't say anything.
I stayed in it for five days, confined to a small room, eating, drinking, and sleeping in it every day, and there was a strange smell, and there was a strange smell on my body, not to mention that I was itchy and uncomfortable.
Everyone didn't ask Liu Yiyang how he was doing.
got into the carriage and rushed to the Zhuangzi that the Xuan family bought in the county seat.
After ten days, the list was released, and the seventh brother was on the list without accident, and the county tried to win the fifth place.
On April 11, the government examination was held for three consecutive days.
After the seventh brother came out of the house exam, everyone tacitly agreed and didn't ask how the exam was.
rushed to the house non-stop.
Because the day of the fourth sister's marriage is set for May 14.
During this time, the Liu Li family and the Liu family accompanied the seventh brother to the exam, and they had already delayed preparing a dowry for the fourth sister.
Fortunately, Liu Yiyu knew that Liu Li's family was all about the seventh brother's examination of the child's student, and he was afraid that he didn't have much thought to prepare a dowry for the fourth sister.
Liu Yiyu has prepared some dowries for the fourth sister one after another, and it is said that it is added to the makeup.
After Liu Yiyu sent these things to the Liu family, Liu Li saw that the eldest sister had already prepared the fourth sister's dowry.
After Liu Li saw this, his heart moved.
When the eldest sister got married this year, the eldest sister gave the Xuan family's dowry and gave a lot of money to the family.
co-authored his own noodle restaurant, Xiangmanlou, and Derentang, all of which made a lot of money.
Liu Li co-authored, the fourth sister married, and in private, gave the fourth sister twenty taels of silver to marry, and then married a few more acres of land.
Where does the eldest sister don't have to worry about herself, where is the second sister, there is a share of the incense Manlou given by the family, and the second brother-in-law's family is fine? .
Liu Li's heart should also be leveled with a bowl of water, and in private, when the third sister returned to her parents' house, Liu Li gave the third sister twenty taels of silver in private.
However, Liu Li did these things, and did not avoid Xun'er.
Xun'er understood, and asked Liu Li if he was giving less.
Nowadays, several of his own industries are in the accounts, and dozens of taels or hundreds of taels of silver are in the accounts every day, and these twenty taels are indeed a bit small.
My own life is prosperous, although my sister-in-law is married, her life is not good, and her family should help her.
What's more, Xun'er has lived in the Liu family since he was a child, and he gets along well with the Liu family's brothers and sisters, but these are nothing.
On May 14, the fourth sister got married, and the Liu family was lively for a while.
The villagers of Shangou Village are envious of the Liu family, and this year the family married four daughters.
The eldest sister of the Liu family married into a big family in Xuanfu, needless to say, although the young master of Xuanfu is a fool, the old lady and Mrs. Xuan are both reasonable and good people, plus the Xuan family helps the Liu family.
Seeing that the Liu family's days have become more and more prosperous.
The second sister of the Liu family married into the town, it is not bad, although the third sister of the Liu family and the fourth sister of the Liu family married into the village, the Huzi family and Zhang Langzhong's family are all the best, there are not so many superb, the so-called family and everything is prosperous.
After the fourth sister gets married, seven days later, the government will try to release the list.
The Liu family has already sent Zhou Hao to Fucheng to see the list.
On the day of the release, there was a sea of people, and Zhou Hao was overjoyed when he saw that the second young master was admitted to the children's school, and he went home non-stop to report the good news.
Unexpectedly, and in a reasonable way, the seventh brother was admitted to Tongsheng as he wished, ranking ninth.
When the seventh brother heard that he had been admitted, he was still stunned, and then, Liu Li was overjoyed, and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth.
Even Xun Lao said three good words out loud.
The seventh brother was admitted to Tongsheng and spread it in Shangou Village, one by one they were both envious and jealous, the children of the Liu family are so angry, they can do anything, they can do anything.
