In the end, Ming Wu agreed with Mama Chen's opinion and found a restaurant to open a private room; Let Xiao Hongkang take Mai Dong to see the list together, she eats and drinks in the box, leisurely.

Xiao Hongkang and Mai Dong squeezed into the crowd and squeezed all the way to the front; Mai Dong Pi is solid, protect him all the way, and it will be smoother.

When I got to the front row, the officials who made the list had not yet come out; After waiting for nearly half an hour, I saw the door open, and a group of seven or eight officials, big and small, walked out. One of them had a red list in his hand, and two others helped to post it at the notice.

"The list is out, when you look at the list, everyone be careful; Take your time, one by one, and don't push."

After saying that, the person who posted the list left.

Mai Dong looked from behind, "Young Master, I haven't seen your name and the county lord's name yet."

"I see it." Xiao Hongkang said.

"Where?" His eyes swept back and forth on the three lists, but he didn't take a name into his heart.

Xiao Hongkang pointed to the first list, "The top."

Mai Dong looked at it sweetly, and really found the names of the two on it.

"Young Master, you are the second place! The county lord is at the top of the list!" Mai Dong excitedly grabbed Xiao Hongkang's sleeve, which was even more exciting than watching the list in the capital before.

At that time, they were a little far away from the Lord's house, and their joy was only that of the Lord's house; The current master family is more excited about their fate.

"Great, the county lord is the top of the list, and you are also the second place; Congratulations to the eldest young master."

When others heard the movement, they turned their heads to look over, Xiao Hongkang pressed his hand and said.

"Keep it low."

Mai Dong nodded again and again, "Young Master, let's go back and tell the county lord, the county lord will definitely be happy."

"That's not necessarily, your county lord may have guessed this result early in the morning." When his sister did the test papers, he understood; I like to evaluate the score, estimate what is right and what is wrong.

Mai Dong didn't care about these, so he pulled Xiao Hongkang out of the crowd; Quickly ran to the Yipin Building where Ming Wu was, at this time, the first floor of the Yipin Building was also crowded with people, Mai Dong came back happily, and everyone knew that it was a hit, and they cast envious eyes.

"County Lord, County Lord."

Pushing the door into the box, Mai Dong first saluted, "The slave has seen the county master, congratulations to the county master, you have won!" It's still at the top of the list."

"Happy event, Mama Tian rewards." Ming Yu stood up.

Mama Tian smiled and bowed her head, took out a few pieces of silver from her sleeve and threw them to him; Mai Dong happily took it, "Xie County Lord's reward."

"Give you a little joy, and when you go back, you will be rewarded with two taels of silver." Ming Wu said and walked towards Xiao Hongkang, "Big brother, how many are you?"

I didn't ask him if he was hit, but asked directly how many places he had.

She knew in her heart how solid her eldest brother's talent was. Teach, it will only get better and better.

Xiao Hongkang said with a smile: "Second place, little sister, you are really good; In just two years, you're running to the front."

"That's not it, so, big brother, you have to keep trying; Let's compare the candidates in the second half of the year to see who is in the front." Ming Wu raised her chin lightly and said proudly.

"Okay."

Ming Wu happily said to Xiao Pingfu, "Butler, go back in the carriage, go back to the clan first; I'll get Tan Sheng's paperwork in two days."

In ancient times, Xiucai Tansheng was supported by the imperial court, how much silver and how much stone and rice noodles per month; The importance of this instrument is general.

"Okay, the county lord is overjoyed, do you want to do it when you go back?" The butler asked.

"If you don't do it, you will do what you do, and you will waste your money; If you have that money, you might as well use it and do more good deeds." Earn more Faith points.

The butler smiled, didn't ask any more, and went out of the box to lead the carriage downstairs.

Everyone went downstairs, Mama Tian settled the bill, and the group went out of the restaurant; Waiting for the housekeeper to lead the carriage over, he got into the carriage one after another, and Xiao Pingfu drove the horse forward.

Laughter comes, and joy returns.

As soon as the carriage entered the clan, it stopped, and Xiao Pingfu jumped off

The carriage turned around and said, "The county lord, the patriarch and several clan elders have come over, and many clansmen are waiting here for you and the eldest young master to come back."

"The county lord is back, has he been hit?" A clansman asked.

Xiao Hongkang lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped out of the carriage, and said to everyone: "Everyone, my sister and I have both won, my sister is the top of the list, and I am the second place; Thank you for your understanding and understanding."

Even if there was something, he didn't come to the door to bother, and asked the patriarch to tell him for a long time.

The fact that the clansmen can do this shows how well the patriarch has done; If it were other clans, it wouldn't be so good.

Human nature is selfish, many people only think that their own things can be done, but they never think about whether others are willing to help; If others have nothing to do, can they do your business in the first time, few people will think about these relationships, and few people can figure it out.

Most of them are egoists and do not think about others.

And the clansmen were able to come to the door without disturbing them under the admonition and advice of the patriarch, and they did not even visit the door for various reasons; This intention, he Xiao Hongkang remembered.

"Oh my God! They've got their brother and sister hit!"

"The people in the fourth room can be sent out, and there are two talents at once!"

"It's not the fourth room that sent it, it was we who sent it; There are two talents in the clan, and what a face they have when they come out! There are also many choices for sons and daughters to marry." The importance of a clan's reputation is reflected, with a good reputation, there are many talents in the clan, and it is natural to marry well.

If the reputation is not good, there are no talents in the clan, and everyone is mediocre; Whose good girl would like to marry in? Whose good son is willing to marry a girl from this clan?

In ancient times, marriage was a good match, a combination of interests.

"That's it, it's a great event for our entire Xiao family!"

"Patriarch, Hongkang has won, and the county lord has also won, do we have to hold a feast to celebrate? Let everyone in ten miles and eight towns know that our Xiaojia Village has produced two talents."

This last sentence made the people in the village who were not from the Xiao clan also overjoyed, and echoed it; They are also from Xiaojia Village, as people from Xiaojia Village, it is a happy thing to have two shows in the village, and it is also something to be proud of.

Patriarch Xiao laughed, "Okay, Hongkang, you and the county lord are good! I passed the first exam, and my name was fine; Our clan held a feast, and the county lord built a good road for us, although it has not been completed, but the county lord remembers the heart of our clan and the village. We'll take care of the feast, so you two children don't have to worry about it."

The silver is naturally made up in the clan.

Xiao Hongkang remembered what his sister had said, and hurriedly spoke out to dissuade him, "Patriarch, don't; It's just that I've passed the show, and it's not too late for my sister and I to be able to do it, and that's when it's really worth rejoicing."

"You! is too cautious at a young age, and showing talent is also a great joy; In our area, which clan can produce two children like you? We have to do what we have to do, and let others see how united our Xiaojia Village is." The more united they are, the less others dare to reach out.
