Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hit
Soon it will be the day when Su Sheng is going to the county seat for the exam, there are a total of three people who go to the exam this time, and the other two are the younger ones of the Yu family, but the people of Yujia Village are not keen on their children going to the imperial examination, and they send their children to study in the clan school, one is not to let their children be blind, and literate people have to find work outside, and the other is for the sake of face, everyone sends their children there, and it is not a joke if your family does not go.
As for the imperial examination, one is time-consuming and costly, and the other is because of Yu Zheng's father, Yu Huai used to be in the village, and it is not praised by everyone where he goes, but he has only been an official in Beijing for two years, and people have changed.
After sending people away, what should the Su family do or what they should do, just like Su Sheng still went to the clan to study. Su Yu felt that if there was no problem with his brother, the county would be able to pass the test.
The county seat is not far from Yujia Village, it is only half a day's journey, or take the ox cart to go, if you take the carriage, it will be faster, and the hour will be there. Su Sheng and they went to the next day to take the exam today, and it took seven days to come and go, and after the exam, several people did not stay in the county, and went back to the village directly.
Su Sheng returned home and slept for a day before he recovered. Su Yu felt that his eldest brother should make up for it, so the Su family's food in the past two days was very good, and a chicken was stewed at every meal, and the chicken was divided among everyone, and all the stewed chicken soup was given to Su Sheng.
"Big brother, you eat more, people have lost a lot of weight in the past few days."
At the dinner table, Su Yu sandwiched a chicken leg and put it in Su Sheng's bowl, and the eyes of the two tigers squatting on the side kept following the chicken legs, but he didn't expect the chicken leg it liked to go into someone else's bowl, and his two ears shrugged down, looking at Su Yu with resentment.
Su Yu was annoyed, picked up another chicken leg and threw it into the dog basin of the second tiger.
"Eat, eat, you know how to eat in a day, look at what you have become fat."
The second tiger lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken legs, regardless of what the owner said.
Since being robbed last year, Erhu's status in the Su family has made a qualitative leap, whether it is the Su family or a few subordinates, they usually treat it well, especially Wang Gang, looking at Erhu's eyes is like looking at a baby, and everything delicious is close to Erhu first. In the case of a family feeding, the two tigers grew taller and taller, and there was a tendency to develop towards pigs.
The Su family didn't dare to say anything from the master to the subordinate, although the girl was young, but the appearance of her cold face, Su Lao Er was a little stunned when she saw it, and others didn't dare to say more.
A few days after the exam, the county post the list, Su Sheng still heard Yu Xiucai talk about the exam, and the other two juniors of the Yu family also passed. This time, there are a lot of things to prepare, and the exam will be spent overnight in the examination room, and the exam will be taken for three consecutive days, and you will not be allowed to leave the examination room for three days. As soon as the county seat was released, Su Sheng was preparing to go to Fucheng.
This time, Yu Xiucai didn't go with him, so Su Sheng and Wang Gang drove their own ox cart, and the two came back after five days.
A few days later, there are two officials to ride to the entrance of the village, today is the day of the release of the list, everyone in the village knows, the other two families are guarding the entrance of the village every day, today I saw an official messenger to the door, the two families are happy in their hearts, it is not her eldest grandson who has been admitted. Seeing the official master, the two wives immediately greeted him.
"Where are you going?"
"We're going to Su Sheng Su Tongsheng's house."
I heard that the eldest son of the Su family was admitted to the middle school.
"Poor master, has my eldest grandson Yu Cheng passed the test?"
"And my little grandson Yu Fang, did he pass the exam?"
"We are only responsible for informing Su Tongsheng, and the rest of Yujia Village is not under our control. Do you know where Su Tongsheng's house is, don't delay our efforts, we will go to the next one later. ”
"I know, at the end of the village, the one with the big brick house is the Su family."
The two officials did not delay, and hurriedly beat their horses to Su's house.
When they arrived at the door of the Su family, the door of the Su family's courtyard was open, but none of the Su family members were there at this time.
"Is anyone home?"
An official immediately stepped forward and shouted, the words fell, a white shadow came out of the yard, both of them were startled, and after seeing that it was a dog, the two were also a little nervous, the dog was really bigger, plus the developed muscles were not easy to provoke, neither of them dared to step forward.
In the past few days, the village has been harvesting wheat, and the Su family is no exception, at this time, even Su Sheng is all in the field, and some villagers in the village are going to the direction of the Su family when they see the official, and they must know that they must go to the Su family, and those who have that good thing immediately come to the field to find the Su family.
"Second brother, there are two poor masters who have gone to your house, you should go back and have a look."
"An official has come to my house."
Su Lao Er put down the sickle in his hand as he spoke, and arrived at the ridge in three or two steps.
"Wang Gang, you go back with me to have a look."
After shouting, the two of them left without looking back, Su Yu thought about it and followed, while the rest of the family continued to do the work in hand. Lian's saw that his father and his daughter went back, and it didn't have much effect for her to go back, so it was better to cut the wheat quickly, the weather was not very good today, and I was afraid that it would rain in a few days, and there were still several acres of wheat at home that had not been cut.
The Su family's field is not far from the Su family, and it will take a short time to arrive, and when they arrived, Yang Ermei was leading Doudou to stand at the gate of the courtyard and talk to the officials, and she didn't lead anyone in, she wasn't the Su family who couldn't be the master.
"Mother, Grandpa Su is back."
Doudou's eyes were sharp, and he saw a few people at once.
Yang Ermei looked at the trail, and sure enough, she saw the father and daughter of the Su family coming over, and her face was happy.
"Uncle Su, you are back, this is a great joy, Brother Sheng is a child in the middle school examination, these two are the poor masters who came to inform."
"Brother Sheng was admitted to the middle school boy!"
Su Lao Er was stunned, how could his son be admitted to the middle school boyhood?
Su Yu reacted quickly, and when he heard that his eldest brother had been admitted to Tongsheng, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling.
"Let the two poor masters wait for a long time, let's go into the house and drink hot tea."
Since Su Yu was poisoned, the head is going up, and she will be thirteen in two months, but if no one knows her age, no one will doubt her in the fourteenth and fifteenth years, the folk customs here in Xingyang Mansion are relatively open, Su stood up to speak for his father, the two officials didn't think there was anything, the most important thing was to look at Su Er's appearance, and now he can't talk well.
"The hot tea is gone, we have to go to the next one."
"There is a happy event at home, and the poor master has worked hard all the way, and he is also a little happy."
Su Yu stepped forward as he spoke, and one of them gave a purse.
The two officials did not refuse, accepted the purse, said congratulations and left. When they got out of the village, the two took out their purses and took a look, and there were some small silver barley in it, and they estimated that there were two taels, thinking that this Su family would come to trouble.
The purse was prepared by Su Yu two days ago, and I heard my eldest brother say that he wrote an article in the examination room, and a child must be stable, so he was ready to put down the purse. She didn't know how many people would come, so she prepared five or six such purses.
