Chapter Eighty-Eight: On the List

Ping An heard the exclamations of the people around him, and knew that his father fell to the ground, but fortunately, there were many people watching the list on the side, and the old man had a buffer, so he could sit on the ground unscathed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Ping An screamed, and hurriedly bent down to help his father up.

"I'm fine, how did Jixiang and Xiangchu do in the exam?" Old Man Xiang stood up and asked.

"Jixiang took the fiftieth place in the exam, Xiangchu, Xiangchu took the ninety-eighth place." Ping An said a little embarrassed.

"It's good, my ancestral tomb of the Xiang family is smoking, let's go, go back and tell your mother and them the good news." Old Man Xiang suddenly felt that he was full of energy, and he could run back to the old house in the village in one go.

The people on the side looked enviously at the backs of their father and son leaving, and three people in one class took the children's exam, but they all succeeded, and one of them even won the case.

At the same time, the county magistrate in the county government also looked at the list in his hand in disbelief, he knew the auspicious name, but what happened to Xiangqian, who had taken the top test, and Xiangchu, who was almost at the end.

There are only 200 candidates in total, and after the three exams, there are only 100 candidates left, but among the 100 candidates, the Xiang family actually occupies three places, and they also occupy the first, middle and last positions, this Xiang family is cheating.

However, the county immediately dispelled this conjecture, Xiangqian was Tian Fuzi's personal student, and Tian Fuzi's three personal disciples were all in high school, occupying the first, second, and third positions.

The only truth is that this Xiangqian used the knowledge he learned to teach his brother and uncle, so that they can also be on the list, so that the most powerful person should be Tian Jinshi.

The county man hurriedly copied a copy of this list, added his own conjectures, sealed it with fire paint, and let people send it out.

In the Imperial City General's Mansion, a young man was opening a secret letter, until a secret letter had the name of Xiang Jixiang, and he couldn't help frowning, Jixiang, this name is so familiar.

"Auspicious ......," the young man whispered.

"Major General, this Xiang Jixiang is the youngest son of the family that sold you the century-old ginseng, and the county head Xiang Qian is his youngest nephew, and Xiang Chu is his eldest nephew." Suddenly there was a sound in the air.

"It's interesting, I sold ginseng to buy a house, bought a house and went to a private school, and went to a private school to take the first exam, the Xiang family is really ambitious, it's good to be ambitious." The man who was called the Major General muttered to himself.

When the dark guard saw the young general waving his hand, he immediately understood that he was not needed here, and disappeared in an instant.

In the middle of March, the head of the county government came to Xiangzhang County with a sign held high, and the Xiang family at this time was already full of people, not only the family of the chief, the village chief's family, the Hanhe family, the Hanqin family, and even the Hantu family came.

Xiangping and Xiang'an quickly ran in, and loudly told Old Man Xiang and Xiang Qian that there were officials coming outside, and the chief and Old Man Xiang immediately knew that they were sending good news.

Several people hurriedly tidied up their clothes and hats and walked out quickly, and sure enough, the head catcher ran over quickly with a pair of centaurs, although he did not beat gongs and drums, but he also held high the good news.

Fugui hurriedly put the prepared firecrackers up, and the crackling sound attracted more villagers to come to see the excitement.

"Xiangqian Xianggong is here?"

The head catcher walked into the Xiangjia hall and asked respectfully at the old man Xiang.

"The student is Xiangqian."

A child wearing a crescent-colored robe and a brown scholar's hat walked out indifferently.

"The show is happy, and the show is happy, please receive the good news."

The head catcher did not despise Xiangqian at all because he was still a child, but respectfully handed over the good news with both hands, since ancient times, he was a young hero, and he could be admitted to the county head at such an age, and his future is immeasurable.

Xiang Qian also took it religiously, he finally lived up to his grandfather's expectations, and lived up to the silver earned by Fubao, but the road ahead is long, and he still needs to continue to work hard.

"If you are a talent, you can be exempted from all taxes, you can see the county officials without kneeling, you can enter the yamen without being punished, you can serve as an official staff, and you can serve as a private school teacher." The head catcher hurriedly said out loud about Xiucai's benefits.

The villagers who watched the excitement were surging and envious when they heard this, they all knew that the scholars were noble, and sure enough, seeing that the head catcher was about to leave, Grandma Xiang hurriedly followed and handed over a big purse.

The head catcher took the purse, fluttered lightly, and pinched it hard, knowing that it must be a silver ticket inside, and generally speaking, the number of silver tickets must be more than that of silver ingots.

The head-catching task was completed, and he left with the servant, and opened the purse halfway to see that two silver tickets of one hundred taels were neatly stacked in the purse.

The head catcher turned his head and took a deep look at the courtyard of the Xiang family, he understood why the Xiang family gave him two hundred taels of silver tickets, he gave Ji Xiang two hundred taels of silver in the cell, but Ji Xiang returned him one hundred taels on the spot.

Now it is equivalent to returning him a hundred taels, and giving him another one hundred taels, of course, he can't take this hundred taels alone, and a group of officials behind him still have to assign some.

After the head catcher left, the atmosphere of the Xiang family became more enthusiastic, and there were happy crowds everywhere, some people were happy because they got the pastries, and some people were happy because the good brothers were on the list.

The eldest husband and wife and the third child are even more determined, and they will send Xiaoshu to go to school in a private school in April, but the old man Xiang hurriedly stopped him, admission is an exam, and you must at least enlighten Xiaoshu.

Although the chief has not taken the children's exam, but he has also studied private school, and after listening to the words of the old man Xiang, he decided to send Xiaoshu to a private school next year, and he will enlighten at home this year.

Han Tu's eyes were purring, and his grandson Xiangding had also reached the age of going to private school, but he couldn't read, so why don't you let Hanlin help, after all, Hanlin is his eldest brother.

However, these words can only be said when no one is around, otherwise what should the old guy do if he takes the lead, so Hantu has been looking for an opportunity to talk to the old man alone, but unfortunately he has never found it.

Xiangqian was surrounded by everyone, this is their newly baked Xiucai Xianggong in Xiangzhang Village, and when you see Xiangqian in the future, you can't call your name casually, you have to add the word Xianggong.

"Show your talents, are you tired of studying?"

"Xiangqian Xianggong, is it expensive to study?"

"Show talent and fairness, is it hard to study?"

"Reading is very tiring, very hard, and very expensive, but the harvest of reading good books is still huge, you can see it by looking at me."

Xiang Qian is still young in the end, and he can't do the coolness of leaving behind, although he really wants to go back to the house and continue to read, you must know that there are many exams waiting for him.
