Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Head of the Case

Grandma Xiang took advantage of the moonlight to see the pale face of Fubao, she was distressed, tears fell down, her Fubao, her little granddaughter, for the Xiang family, the little child is so hard.

Turned around and walked to the stove, lit the stove, first boiled a large pot of hot water, first scrubbed Fubao's face and body, and then changed into dry clothes.

Then take out a small piece of pork, finely cut it into minced meat, stir-fry it in an oil pot, take out the rice, cook it into a thick white porridge, put in a little salt, add minced meat and green onions, and a bowl of fragrant meat porridge is out of the pot.

Bringing the meat porridge to Fu Bao's room, Fu Bao was really hungry, smelling the aroma in his nose, he couldn't help but open his eyes, and sure enough, he saw his grandmother sitting next to him with a steaming hot porridge.

"Milk, hungry." Fu Bao said in a milky voice.

"Grandma knows, so I cooked meat porridge for you, come, grandma feeds you." Grandma Xiang picked up Fu Bao, sat her on her lap, and then began to feed the porridge.

Mouthful after mouthful, a bowl of meat porridge was at the bottom in a blink of an eye, Grandma Xiang took out a handkerchief to wipe Fubao's mouth, and said distressedly:

"Bao, now we have silver and food at home, you are still a milk doll, as long as you have fun, you know."

Fu Bao blinked her eyes and looked at her grandmother with a smile, her heart was warm, but she chose to be reincarnated in order to cultivate to become a Buddha, where can she retreat, only with continuous efforts can she move forward.

"Sleep well, do you want grandma to know something?" Grandma Xiang asked Fubao to sleep, helped her cover the quilt, and then closed the door step by step and returned to her room.

There was no one in the house anymore, and Grandma Xiang knew where the old man had gone as soon as her mind turned, and when she opened the window, she saw a familiar shadow walking around her yard.

Grandma Xiang exhaled a breath of turbidity, took off her shoes and lay down, with Fubao at home, life is simply thriving, if it really can come to that day, she must get back everything that belongs to her.

Old man Xiang was born in a poor family, and he didn't know the lychee tree at all, even if he had taken the Tongsheng exam and read countless books, he never recognized what kind of fruit tree the tree in front of him was.

Early the next morning, Grandma Xiang went to the backyard, only to find that what Fubao got back was actually a lychee tree, looking at the bare lychee tree in front of her, Grandma Xiang knew that their Xiang family was going to make a fortune.

But in the same way, if these lychee trees are seen by rich and powerful people, their Xiang family is estimated to be unable to stay, and it is more likely to lose their lives for it.

Grandma Xiang hurriedly went to find Fubao, she wanted Fubao to remove the lychee tree, at most one left, until June and July next year to bear fruit, and her family can satisfy their hunger.

Fu Bao shook her head, she had room for spirit, as long as the lychee tree was ripe, she could hide the fruit, and take out a few when she wanted to eat it.

Grandma Xiang knows Fubao's ability, and when she saw that the little girl was confident, she went with her, so many lychee trees came last night, and she must have disappeared if she wanted to.

At the beginning of February, Ping An came back, and he told Mr. Xiang that Jixiang, Xiangchu and Xiangqian were going to take the county exam this month, so the original one-day rest every month would not come back.

Old man Xiang has been thinking about this, he said hello to Grandma Xiang, and the next morning he followed Ping'an to the county with an ox cart.

Fu Bao began to get excited, he wanted to try it in the county, and wanted to follow his grandfather to the county, so as to see the situation of the heavenly court of a few brothers, Xiangqian didn't need to look at it, the stars of the chosen one were mainly uncle and Xiangchu.

However, she was reluctant to go to the mountain, in the end, the aura in the mountain was sufficient, and it was not so convenient to go to the county seat, and in Fubao's hesitation, the old man Xiang had already gone out.

Old Man Xiang would go to the gate of the academy every day to talk to the old man Kan Dashan, and he got a lot of inside stories that he didn't know before, but Old Man Xiang understood that even if he knew, he was powerless to change.

The days passed like this, and the old man Xiang finally waited for the door of the private school to open, and under the leadership of Tian Jinshi and a few masters, a group of people came out.

This group of people includes all ages from teenagers to middle-aged and elderly people, including their own grandsons Xiangqian and Xiangchu, and Jixiang is also ranked behind.

Several people saw the old man Xiang in the crowd, as well as Ping'an and his sister-in-law, all bowed slightly, and then followed the masters in the direction of the county government with a serious expression.

The county examination is arranged in the county office, and the county Cheng is the presiding officer and serves as the examiner, and the body must be searched when entering the county office, and the things that should not be brought cannot be brought at all.

Several people submitted their own information, and then entered the seat answer sheet, this exam is divided into three sessions, the first test is four books and two articles, five words and six rhymes test post poem, pay attention to the format and number of words when writing, can not exceed 700 words.

In the second exam, there is one essay on four books, one on sexual theory or filial piety, one on law, and one poem on five words and eight rhymes.

The third exam is mainly for scriptures, poems, and concubines, and each exam is held every three days, and only those who pass the previous exam are eligible to participate in the next exam.

On the afternoon of the ninth day, the county test for children finally ended, but the rule at that time was not that you were a child after the county test, but that you had to go to the government to participate in the government test, and only after the government test was the real child.

Of course, there are exceptions, you won the first place in the county examination or the government examination, and you are also the head of the county case and the head of the government case, as long as there are no other problems, you do not need to participate in the later government examination and hospital examination, and you will directly get the fame of showing talent.

So when Ma Yuanwai learned that Tian Jinshi had accepted another student, he was so anxious, after all, if he got the head of the case, he could not only be directly promoted to Xiucai, but also had some other privileges, such as not having to bow down when going to the court, and eating at the same table with officials during the wedding and funeral ceremony.

Tian Jinshi and his masters gave the students who had finished the exam a vacation, and let them return to the academy three days later to continue their studies, because the next exam was in Fucheng, and only by passing the Fucheng government exam could they become real children.

Xiang Qian and Jixiang refused, Xiang Chu wanted to go home, but seeing that his younger brother and uncle didn't want to waste every minute, they could only go back to the academy with them.

Half a month later, each student's test results and rankings were posted on the dragon and tiger wall in front of the county yamen, and the old man Ping An and Xiang were waiting in front of the dragon and tiger list early.

"Dad, the first place in Xiangqian is the head of the county."

Ping'an's eyes were sharp, and when the official just pasted it, he saw the black letters on the red list.

Old Man Xiang: "......"

The first place, the head of the case, the Xiang family has a talent, and the ancestral tomb of the Xiang family is smoking.

Ping An didn't notice the crumbling body of Old Man Xiang, he was still looking for the names of Xiang Chu and Ji Xiang, Ji Xiang was in the middle, and Xiang Chu was in the back.
