Chapter 174: Autumn Fall
There were a total of three games in the autumn.
After the last exam, the old lady was waiting outside the Gongyuan in person, in addition to Qin Wan by her side, there were also Zhou Yao and Biyu together.
This family, only Su Nianyun refused to do such a boring thing on the grounds that she was heavy in the late pregnancy.
As it approached dusk, the gate of the Tribute Courtyard slowly opened.
Looking at the waves of students who walked out of it, the old lady's mood became nervous.
This is the third time that her two sons have participated in the Autumn Festival.
The two sons have not been able to get fame for a long time, and the longer the time, the more anxious the old lady becomes.
She often comforts herself that she has three sons, and even if she misses once and twice, she still has a chance to turn the tables in the future.
However, her expectations slowly slipped as her sons failed again and again.
This time, she no longer asks her sons to be at the top or anything, she just asks that it doesn't matter if her sons are the last to be promoted.
As long as he is in the middle of the lift, it doesn't matter how many he is.
At this time, Chen Shaoan, who had a natural look, took the lead in front of the old lady.
"Old lady, there are so many people here, and the weather is still hot, why are you here?" Chen Shaoan asked with concern.
"The last exam," said the old lady, "I want to give it to you...... Cheer up! ”
She originally wanted to say "you", but Qin Wan was by her side.
remembered that a few days ago she maintained Chen Shaokang's appearance, for fear that her second daughter-in-law would say another word of partiality, she changed her mind abruptly.
Qin Wan sneered beside her, was she afraid that she wouldn't be able to hear it?
With such a blunt "you", it is better to say directly that this "you" is comfortable and natural.
But at this time, she didn't care about this, but continued to look forward to the crowd, and Chen Shaokang's shadow never appeared.
At this time, the old lady took Shao'an's hand and whispered, "I look at you and seem to be full of confidence......
The hand with the missing index finger was accidentally touched, and Chen Shaoan hurriedly withdrew one hand.
Sensing that her son still cared about his fingers, the old lady was heartbroken.
She was also at fault for causing her son to lose his finger, because she didn't believe the letter sent by the kidnapper, which angered the kidnapper.
"Mother's ......"
Chen Shaoan put his left hand behind his back, and then said, "Maybe it's a lucky child, the topic of the strategy, my son happened to practice that topic when he was practicing the strategy theory in private before......"
"Really?" The old lady's eyes lit up.
"Yes," Chen Shaoan nodded, "I can't believe that there is such a coincidence in the world." ”
What a coincidence.
First let him meet the down-and-out scholar to get a wonderful article, and then let him encounter the same topic on the autumn squirt.
There are also things marked out in the books, which are all related to the exam.
This made Chen Shaoan even more convinced that he had met an immortal in Zhengyang Academy!
"Son, it must be after you escaped death, God favored you!"
The old lady said excitedly, "Since the questions have been practiced in advance, presumably it will be very easy when the exam is held?" ”
"Yes." Chen Shaoan nodded, "It's easy to deal with." ”
His mother reminded him that Xu Zhen was favored by God after he escaped death!
"My son," the old lady couldn't help but hug Chen Shao'an, "This is really good, in this case, you will definitely be able to pass the exam!" ”
"Borrow my mother's good words." Chen Shaoan also predicted that this was already a sure thing, and he was very happy.
Zhou Yao and Biyu, who were on the side, also heard the good news.
The two glanced at each other, and they both decided to put aside the grudge in their hearts for the time being, and spend these few beautiful days first.
After all, if their husbands can really pass the exam, the status of their concubines can also be improved in the future.
The old lady pulled Chen Shaoan and said a lot of words, and her face was irrepressibly happy.
"Mother, don't get carried away like this, what if I don't win?" Chen Shaoan persuaded.
The final announcement of the ranking was three days later, and it would be too late to be happy at that time.
"You're right, you're right," said the old lady, trying not to let her face smile like a blooming chrysanthemum, "now is not the time to show off. ”
In the end, when Chen Shaokang came out, she didn't ask Chen Shaokang how he was doing, and only asked people to arrange a banquet at the restaurant.
The group had a meal outside before returning to Chen's house.
For the next three days, the Chen Mansion fell into an anxious wait.
Only Su Nianyun sat in the listening wind courtyard and leisurely fed the fish and enjoyed the flowers, and had a good time.
On the fourth day, the old lady sent a few people to stay under the list early to wait for the unveiling, and several people in the front yard also went out.
Soon, Jixiang took the lead in running back.
"How?" When the old lady saw Jixiang coming back, she stood up anxiously.
"Old lady, great joy, great joy!"
Jixiang said excitedly, "Uncle, he ...... Hit the lift! ”
"Really hit?" The old lady was pleasantly surprised, "This is really good! ”
Finally......
The old lady didn't stand or sit, and she didn't know what to do with her happiness.
"Mother Wen, Mother Zhao, go and order the banquet in the Star Tower...... We're going there to celebrate......"
If you win the promotion, you will be admitted to the Jinshi next year, even if you can't become a big official in the end, the Chen family is not hopeless!
Thinking of this, the old lady was simply excited beyond words.
"Hurry up, go to the star tower to set up a seat, today is a big day, I'm afraid it's too late, and other families will grab a seat......"
The old lady, who had never been outside to show off, finally had the courage to go out.
After the order, the whole hall was filled with smiling voices.
On the contrary, it was the party Chen Shaoan, who was very bland.
He had expected this result, but now he is the most calm.
When Chen Shaokang entered the hall, he saw such a warm scene, and his mother was happy with the result of her eldest brother, but she didn't care about herself.
Actually, he also won the lift.
Or did Su Nianyun notice the lost Chen Shaokang, "Second brother, what is your result?" ”
Chen Shaokang glanced at Su Nianyun gratefully.
He nodded, "Hit!" ”
"What?" At this time, the old lady was full of surprise, and then looked at Ji Xiang again, "You guy, why don't you look good, just tell me ......"
"Old lady, it's my fault!" Jixiang hurriedly apologized.
At that time, he only cared about seeing the uncle's ranking, because the uncle was ranked high, and he was ......
As soon as he was happy, he came back directly to report the good news, where can he still take care of the second master.
At this time, the old lady was even more happy.
"Mother Wen, let the kitchen set up a three-day flowing water banquet to the outside world, and our Chen Mansion has finally come out on top......"
"It's the old lady, the slave and maid will go and prepare."
When Mother Wen left, Su Nianyun said, "Old lady, shouldn't the matter of Yulan Garden be arranged for Zhou Yao?" ”
Su Nianyun didn't care if she was in the middle of anything, what she cared about was Zhou Yao's yard.
The old lady looked at Zhou Yao, who was close to Chen Shaoan.
"Then Magnolia Garden, I will let Mama Zhao clean it up as soon as possible......"
