Chapter 214 Gu Nanxi is even more awesome
It must be said that Fuquan Teahouse is indeed the most popular teahouse in Kyoto. There are many students waiting inside, and people announcing the good news come one after another.
The whole teahouse became a sea of joy. The owner of the teahouse prepared pens, inks, paper and inkstones so that these students who were said to be talented students could leave their calligraphy treasures.
Although they are only the most basic talents, there are so many people who pass the exam! There are fifty people in the Baichuan Academy on the second floor alone!
Some of the old tea patrons who came early in the morning to reserve a seat were astonished when they saw this scene: "The person who announced the good news this time has saved a lot of trouble. Just coming to the tea house can save a lot of travel!" ”
"Did you hear just now? I paid attention. All the top ten students in the first class are candidates from Baichuan Academy!"
An old tea customer finally squeezed into the teahouse, his hair was messy and his shoes were missing. Only, but he didn't care about this at all, his face was full of excitement.
"I just went to see the list. Guess what? All fifty candidates from Baichuan Academy are on the list!"
Other candidates who were still anxiously waiting for the results heard this. As he spoke, he became even more anxious. The admission rate for this scholar was only 12%. Baichuan Academy only had 50 places, leaving not much for others.
The tea guest squeezed in with his acquaintances, fixed his messy hair, took a sip of tea, calmed his breathing, and then continued: "Guess who the last one is?"
"Could it be Young Master Cheng from Luming Academy?"
"No, no! The last one turned out to be Li Haiyu from Duke Ji's Mansion!"
"Oh, my God ! I didn’t expect that he could pass the college exam!”
“You said, this is Isn't it because he worships Mrs. Yongchanghou that he gets the blessing of Wenquxing? "
"It makes sense. It just so happens that Mrs. Yongchanghou is about to pass her birthday. Isn't it true that the whole Baichuan Academy can't give Mrs. Wenquxing any face? After passing the test, even Li Haiyu was sidelined.”
One of the tea guests nodded thoughtfully and concluded: "So the second person celebrating his birthday is actually Wenquxing?!"
The more everyone thought about it, the more it made sense.
This time, from the county examination to the prefecture examination and then to the college examination, every level is unusual and the questions become more and more difficult. This will screen out a large number of candidates who do not have solid basic knowledge.
Then it happened that the weather was extremely hot, and many promising students were exhausted, collapsed in the examination room, and were forced to withdraw.
However, the candidates from Baichuan Academy were able to get through the exams all the way like divine help, and it was extremely smooth!
But when all this is related to the fact that Mrs. Yongchanghou is celebrating her birthday, everything falls into place!
On the second floor of Fuquan Tea House, the students hugged each other, said congratulations to each other, and then looked at Master Yan and Su Xuanming longingly.
Su Xuanming's mood was the same as theirs, and he naturally knew what they were thinking: "You all go back to celebrate with your family first, and we will get together again after three days."
"Okay, Su Dalang, see you later!" The students couldn't hold back their excitement and ran out of the teahouse in a hurry.
Now I no longer care about spending money. Those who ride in the ox-cart ride on the ox-cart, and those who hitchhike hitchhike.
"Dad, grandma, eldest brother, second brother, I have passed the exam to be a scholar!"
The Geng family boy jumped out of the ox cart before the ox cart reached the door of his house, and ran wildly all the way, still talking high. Shouting.
"Silang! What a good Shiro!" Aunt Geng heard the voice and didn't even bother to take off her apron. She pushed open the courtyard door, picked up the Geng boy and spun him around several times. The boy from the Geng family was blushing, and he was surrounded by villagers who came to celebrate, and they laughed in good faith.
"Silang of the Geng family can be regarded as a promising person. In the future, he will be exempted from one quota of corvee service, he will not kneel before the magistrate, he will not be tortured casually, and he can also receive food every month!"
< br>
"The key is that we can also exempt thirty acres of land from tax! This is not a small amount of money!"
"Sure enough, you still need to study, and only by studying can you be successful!"
"You treat everyone as Can you read it? You can read it in a year There are only a few scholars, and it is estimated that there are only about one or two hundred scholars in the entire Kyoto this year, but the Geng family’s ancestral tomb is smoking!”
Amid the admiration and praise of everyone, Old Man Geng and Aunt Geng embraced. Lead the Geng boy into the house.
Aunt Geng turned around, smiled brightly and said cheerfully to the villagers: "Tomorrow we will have a wine party at home, you all come, come all!"
"Don't worry, Aunt Geng, we will definitely come to celebrate!"
The villagers are also very discerning. They know that the Geng family must celebrate first, so they don't hang around them too much, thinking Wait until tomorrow when we have a banquet, and ask the Geng boys, is this reading difficult or not?
As soon as she entered the room, Aunt Geng stuffed three sticks of incense into the Geng boy's hand: "Quickly pay homage to Mrs. Hou. Thanks to Mrs. Hou, I can bless you to pass the college examination." "
Aunt Geng thought to herself, fortunately she urged the carpenter to make the statue in time, and she sincerely worshiped it every day.
The boy from the Geng family obediently placed three sticks of incense in the shrine!
The boy from the Geng family felt that it was very thrilling to pass the test this time. He could only do half of the questions, and he was completely confused about the other half.
Later I checked the answer with Dalang of the Su family, and I guessed that I was only half right. I can only say that it was all thanks to the hot weather.
Many seeded players were completely defeated by the hot weather. Even if they did not faint, they still performed abnormally. This gave me a chance!
After the Geng family boy finished offering incense, the Geng family sister-in-law quickly pushed her son up and asked her son to also offer incense to Madam Yongchang Hou: "You also go and pay homage, so that Madam can bless you. You are smart, and I will be a scholar like my uncle in the future!”
The Geng family is happy and feels that life will get better and better, and they are very hopeful.
Li Haiyu, who was also admitted as a scholar, did not receive such good treatment.
In the Duke of Ji State's Mansion, in front of Li Haiyu's study, the prince and the young lady of Duke Ji Guo each brought a group of servants to confront each other.
The prince knew that his request was a bit excessive, but when he thought of his weeping concubine and his two sons with expectant eyes, his heart hardened.
"Madam, since Hai Yu has already passed the scholar examination, why not pass this image on to his two younger brothers?"
The eyes of Mrs. Ji Guo Gong were filled with tears. Blushed: "No! My son will have to take the exams for Juren, Jinshi, and Number One Scholar in the future! How can he stop being a scholar?"
The prince was impatient: "As the eldest brother, Haiyu, can't he help his two younger brothers? If you give in this time, your younger brothers will also help you in the future."
Li Haiyu is very fond of this father. Completely disappointed: "If they want to pay homage to the Marquis, they can just ask for the portrait themselves. Why do they want to snatch it from me?"
The prince's eyes flashed, didn't he think Li Haiyu's was more effective? What!
The prince was hesitant: "I asked you to take it out, so you took it out, but you didn't even listen to your father's words?"
The young lady of the Duke of Jiguo completely broke her face and sneered: “Anyone who is not worthy of being a father should go to jail! I'm afraid you have forgotten how Mrs. Yongchang Hou punished Yongchang Hou! Even if you take the portrait, do you think Mrs. Yongchang Hou can bless you and bless your two concubines? A son? ”
