Late August.

The autumn harvest began in the land of Anlu, and the palace was busy.

At this moment, a sudden news broke the tranquility of Zhu Hao's small circle.

Gongsun Yi sent someone back with a message, saying that he had passed the exam!

The news did not reach the family, but through the people sent by Zhu Hao to negotiate business with people in the provincial capital, and it was sent to the palace first, where it was known to Tang Yin and Zhu Hao.

"You repeat, Feng Yuan...... Did you get a lift in the exam? ”

Tang Yin was very surprised when he heard this.

Zhu Hao said: "That's what the letter says...... The person who sent the good news hasn't arrived yet, so it's probably just a matter of the next two days, I plan to go to Shi Niang first and inform her of the good news, do you want to go with you? ”

Tang Yin wanted to take the letter and read it, but he didn't want Zhu Hao to shrink his hand, so he took the letter back, probably meaning that it was inconvenient for you to read it.

Tang Yin frowned: "Zhu Hao, didn't you mean Feng Yuan and him...... is only a shallow learner, will it take a few more years for the examiner? ”

"Maybe it's Mr. Gongsun's extraordinary performance?"

Zhu Hao had a smile on his face, "Are you going or not?" ”

Tang Yin felt that things were not so simple, but now that Gongsun Yi had not returned, Zhu Hao did not explain to him in detail, so he didn't know the essentials for a while, so he had to say, "Let's go, together." ”

……

……

Tang Yin went to the women's school with Zhu Hao.

The road is not far, and Zhu Hao originally considered this aspect when choosing a site in order to prevent the inconvenience caused by the long distance between the palace and the laboratory and the workshop.

On the way, Tang Yin couldn't help but ask again, but Zhu Hao just said casually.

When I went to the women's school, I heard the sound of girls reading inside, in this era, this kind of women's reading sound is very rare, and it is estimated that few people in the entire Ming Dynasty will open a women's school like Zhu Hao.

"Little owner, ...... are you?"

Gong Yeling heard a knock on the door and came to open the door, and when he saw Zhu Hao coming with Tang Yin, he asked curiously.

Usually Zhu Hao is very shy about coming to the women's school, even if he is the owner and just a child, but in this era of male and female defense, he still tries to avoid contact, which is also for the reputation of the women studying inside.

Zhu Hao said: "Please inform Mrs. Gongsun, and say that I am here, and I have to tell her about Mr. Gongsun." ”

"Hmm."

Gong Yeling turned around and went to the classroom, and the courtyard door was open.

But Zhu Hao and Tang Yin did not enter the courtyard, but waited in the alley at the door.

After a while, Mrs. Gongsun came out of it with a little curiosity in her eyes.

When the husband goes to the provincial city to take the exam, either the husband himself comes back to inform him of whether he has passed the exam or not, or the person who reports the good news comes...... Although the latter is unlikely, it should never be Zhu Hao and Tang Yin.

"Mr. Tang, the owner, why did you two visit?"

Mrs. Gongsun saluted and asked.

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Master, congratulations, I just got the news, saying that Mr. Gongsun won the sixth place in this year's Huguang Township Examination, and he will return on the same day after participating in the Luming Banquet, and it is estimated that he will be able to arrive in Anlu in three or four days." ”

"What?"

Mrs. Gongsun was stunned.

Even Tang Yin was a little puzzled: "Zhu Hao, you mean...... Feng Yuan took the sixth place in the middle and township exams? ”

This result sounded to Tang Yin...... It's too high.

With Gongsun Yi's level, it is not wrong to barely pass the exam, and he directly took the sixth exam, what kind of talent does it take to have such a result? Besides, you kid didn't say it before......

Mrs. Gongsun was almost unsteady on her feet, and asked eagerly, "Dongjia, this news ...... Is it reliable? ”

The good news came unexpectedly, not only Mrs. Gongsun had this doubt, but even Tang Yin was curious, so far only Zhu Hao said that Gongsun Yi was promoted in the examination, and the so-called letter written back by Gongsun Yi in his hand, he has not seen the content of it until now.

Zhu Hao raised the letter in his hand: "Mrs. Gongsun, this is the letter that Mr. Gongsun asked people to bring back, you can open it and take a look." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the letter.

Tang Yin found the letter...... It is true that it has not been opened, but Zhu Hao clearly said that Gongsun Yi wrote a letter back to inform him, and said that this is what was written on the letter, how would you know the content of the letter if you didn't see it? Or have you already opened and sealed it? Or is there another letter?

Mrs. Gongsun took the letter with trembling hands, and when she opened it and read it carefully, she covered her mouth and nose, and two lines of hot tears flowed down.

Tang Yin hurriedly asked, "How?" ”

Mrs. Gongsun cried with joy, but she was a little confused after listening to Tang Yin's question...... Didn't you come to give me good tidings? Why do you still ask me how it is?

"Master, I'm not wrong, right?"

Zhu Hao asked with a smile.

Mrs. Gongsun's head swayed up and down, and then she made a big salute: "Xianggong, he can be promoted in the examination, thanks to the two of you, please accept the concubine." ”

Tang Yin's face showed "Huh? How can this be", it seems that Gongsun Yi can't accept the fact that he is promoted in the exam, but it is impossible for the woman in front of him not to know her husband's handwriting, and it is impossible for Gongsun Yi not to be on the list but has to write to say that he has passed the exam...... That can only be ......

Did I underestimate Gongsun Fengyuan?

"Shi Niang, go back and tell the family the good news, today will give you a day off, it is estimated that the person who sent the good news will come in two days, two or three days earlier than Mr. Gongsun, and then I will bring someone to your house to support the façade......" Zhu Hao said with a smile.

"Uh-huh!"

Mrs. Gongsun was still wiping her tears.

For her, happiness came too suddenly.

Married to a husband who is a student, she looks poor and has no background, and has always been ridiculed by her brothers and sisters in the family...... is about to become the wife of an official family......

"Mr. Tang, the owner, the concubine went back first!" Mrs. Gongsun saluted and took her leave, walked three steps, stumbled twice, and almost fell.

Just as Gongyeling came out, he grabbed Mrs. Gongsun, his face was full of curiosity.

When Gongyeling heard Mrs. Gongsun finish talking about the situation, she couldn't help but show a stunned expression.

……

……

After the good news to Mrs. Gongsun ended, Tang Yin looked depressed and followed Zhu Hao back to the palace.

"Mr. Tang, be happy, why do you make you very sad, you are afraid that like I said, you are worried that you will not be able to suppress Mr. Gongsun in the future?"

Zhu Hao joked with a smile.

Tang Yin shook his head: "Something is wrong, I know you don't want to say it, when Feng Yuan comes back, I will ask him in person." ”

Zhu Hao smiled but did not speak.

Two days later.

The fast horse of the township test to report the good news really came.

After all, Anlu is not a big state capital, under the jurisdiction of two counties, the quality of education is very average, in the case of only more than 60 people can be admitted at a time, three people can be admitted in one go, it has belonged to the best results in the township examination in recent years.

This side of the Gongsun family.

Zhu Hao took Tang Yin and Lu Song over to help take care of it.

Because Tang and Lu were men, they were not too embarrassed to go to the back room, so they acted as greetings at the door. And Zhu Hao is a child, as if he is a member of this family, even if he stands in front of Gongsun Yi's mother, others only think that Zhu Hao is Gongsun Yi's younger brother or nephew...... It's not obtrusive at all.

"Old lady, you really have raised a good son, the grandson is glorious and the future is promising!"

The person who reported the good news tried his best to pick up the good words and said that the old lady of Gongsun Yi was beautiful to the sky.

The neighbors around him were full of envy in their eyes.

Relatively speaking, there are more children studying in the city than in the countryside, but there are very few students who can be admitted to the examination, not to mention the fame with a bright future in the examination.

The good news here is not over yet.

Someone from the palace came again, but it was Yuan Zonggao who brought two wardens from the palace chief Shi Si, plus a few guards, and came with two boxes to congratulate Gongsun Yi, who had taught in the palace.

This gift was not given by Tang Yin and Lu Song, but brought by Yuan Zonggao, which was quite particular in itself.

"Mr. Yuan, I can't afford it."

The old lady hurriedly went over to salute and thank Yuan Zonggao.

She didn't know anyone else, but Yuan Zonggao knew her, and it was Yuan Zonggao who personally came to invite Gongsun Yi to the palace as a teacher, which was a measure to change the fate of Gongsun Yi.

Yuan Zonggao said with a smile: "Feng Yuan is a talented scholar, and the old man also thought that he would be able to go to high school, so he invited him to the palace to teach the prince knowledge. I hope he will continue to work hard and be on the list next spring...... This is a little expression from His Royal Highness King Xing, please be sure to accept it. ”

The onlookers were even more lively.

Generally, if you take the exam, it's good to know the county or something, and now you can go directly to the history of the palace.

Yuan Zonggao was born as a Jinshi, and his fame and status were there, and when he came, he was tantamount to comparing all the visitors who came to congratulate him.

However, Yuan Zonggao still had a shelf, and he left after simply congratulating him, and he didn't go into the house to sit down and have a cup of tea or anything, but even so, it was enough to make this small courtyard flourish.

Tang Yin was about to go over and salute Yuan Zonggao, but Yuan Zonggao just smiled politely at him and left.

Zhu Hao saw that Yuan Zonggao should still be angry with Tang Yin, and there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two sides for the time being.

……

……

Gongsun's house is very lively.

Tang Yin and Lu Song couldn't stay for a long time, so they left early, thinking that Zhu Hao would stay to help with the operation, but they also left together.

"Mr. Gongsun is going to be an official now, it seems that Yuan Changshi has a good vision."

Lu Song didn't seem to know the dislike between Tang Yin and Yuan Zonggao, and he was still praising Yuan Zonggao's wisdom.

Tang Yin said: "Gongsun Fengyuan is indeed a leader among young scholars, but he is far from the title of laurel...... Anyway, let's not mention this matter for the time being! He is expected to be back in a few days. ”

After all, it is not far from Anlu to Wuchang, and the letter also needs time on the way, and it is estimated that Gongsun Yi will be able to return to Anlu in two or three days.

Tang Yin's heart was full of doubts, so he naturally wanted to ask Gongsun Yi for clarification.

"Zhu Hao, don't you have anything to tell me?"

Tang Yin looked at Zhu Hao again.

Zhu Hao smiled: "What can I say? First regret that I failed to participate in this township examination, and then express my envy to Mr. Gongsun in the examination? Do you want to learn more from him in the future? ”

"You, you......"

Tang Yin didn't know what to say about Zhu Hao, so he shook his head and sighed again.
