In the spring and February of the next year, Yunfei went to the county seat with an attendant.
He was registered in the school in the town, so he had a quota for the scientific examination.
This is not his first imperial examination, and the test questions are similar to those he has done before. Although the memory is a bit old, he can always feel some instinct when seeing familiar things.
Coupled with the original memory and his never lazy efforts.
When the results were announced, I was admitted to the Tongsheng School as I wished.
The state examination was in April, and it would take more than half a month to get from the town to the state capital, so he went back home.
Say goodbye to the three ladies and arrange things at home.
First, I met with Musheng and told him, "When it comes to things in the fields, you should go occasionally to see if they are doing a good job, and then you should also keep an eye on them in the workshop.
The stewards can handle ordinary matters. When I need to see you, you can think about it and make up your mind. If you are not sure, go to the Bai Mansion and ask your Sister-in-law Du.
There's nothing else to do. I've arranged the basics. Osmanthus is pregnant, so you should stay with her more. "
Musheng nodded solemnly when he heard this, "Brother, you can take the exam with peace of mind. I'm at home."
As for his wife's pregnancy, he is naturally happy and has been by her side recently.
"My wife is already three months pregnant. If the village gets busy, I will take her back to my old house to stay for a while so that I can take care of her more conveniently."
"Well, this is best. There are many aunts in the village, and they can come to chat with us. You and your wife can decide this matter."
As for Du Qingliu and the others, they have nothing to explain.
There are servants, wet nurses, and Deng Xiaoniang at home. There are enough people to take care of the children.
They have fallen in love with the children's cuteness and are happy every day.
Sometimes they even take the kids to play.
Zhang Dujuan's condition has improved now, and she no longer looks at Miaomiao with eyes.
Occasionally, I would swap hugs with Lulu and Qingyan.
The younger son did not have a nickname, he was always called by his senior name.
After all, he is a boy, and Yunfei wants to raise him to be tougher.
In ancient times, if a man could not support his family, his family would suffer. The situation was like this.
………
In Jiangzhou in early March, it was raining continuously.
When passing by the lotus pond in the city, you can see the green willow trees growing on both sides, as well as various boats floating above.
And the pleasant sounds of the piano.
Li Sen, who was driving the car, smiled and said, "Look, sir, this is indeed the capital city of Jiangzhou. There are many talented people."
Yunfei was also looking outside. The scenery was indeed beautiful.
In Dafu City, the roads are paved with bluestones and the streets are also very clean.
The clothes and appearance of the people are also better than those in their small county.
When I asked at the inn in the city, there was no doubt that most of the students who were supposed to come had already arrived, even though there was still half a time.
At this time every three years, there are basically no vacancies.
However, some families in the city have extra rooms and want to make some money during this period, so they will basically rent out the rooms.
There are also those empty mansions.
So after confirming that there was no room available, they went straight to the middle-aged man.
Then after being introduced, I rented two side rooms belonging to a teenager who lived alone.
The boy's name is Sun Shi'an. The elders in his family died in an accident. He is left to live by himself. He usually does odd jobs and occasionally rents out the house to earn enough for his daily expenses.
But he just lived a very poor life.
The house is not bad and is very clean, so Yunfei is still very satisfied.
He stayed in the yard every day to read books. When Li Sen prepared meals, he would invite Sun Shi'an to eat with him.
He went out to work early in the morning and would not come back all day during the day. He only came back at night, so he could only be called to have dinner with him.
Because Yunfei had already noticed that the boy was hungry when he came back every night.
Maybe I had to eat during the day because I was afraid I wouldn’t have enough energy to work, but at night I just clung to it and saved every meal I could.
Even if he comes back very late sometimes, there will always be a warm meal for him in the pot.
Sun Shian wanted to refund him some of the rent money, but he didn't ask for it.
The meal was considered as a gift in return for using his kitchen.
After all, he didn't charge extra for the kitchen.
However, Yunfei bought firewood, seasonings, etc. There was only a small amount of salt and not much firewood in the original kitchen.
It was after they arrived that the kitchen became full of fireworks.
On the third day of April, the government examination finally began. With the sound of several gongs, children from all over the country lined up to enter.
At the door, take off your coat, shoes and socks to check, as well as the book boxes you brought.
After seeing Yun Fei go in, Li Sen took the carriage back to Sun's house and waited three days to pick him up again.
After the results were released in mid-March, Yunfei, who was on the list, passed the prefectural examination.
Next, there will be the academy examination in March next year. Only those who pass the examination will be considered a scholar. After that, he will not go to Beijing.
So after the results were released, the master and the servant said goodbye to Sun Shi'an, checked out of the house, and rushed back to Sanshui Town without stopping.
At this time, the three children at home are still under 10 years old and can only crawl all over the floor.
…………
"Look what daddy brought for you!" Yunfei returned home dusty and happily carried two big bags to Du Qingliu's room.
Sure enough, as expected, all three babies were there.
The weather was getting hotter, and the house originally had wooden floors, so a tarp was spread on the ground for the children to sit and play.
Children are happy when they have company.
Du Qingliu and the others had already heard the servant's report, and were now coming to change his clothes.
"Did your trip go well, husband?"
Zhao Baozhu said even more distressedly: "My husband looks a lot thinner."
I have been on the road most of the time, so I must have lost some weight.
Zhang Dujuan washed the handkerchief in the basin brought by the servant and wiped his face.
Therefore, it is no wonder that the ancients liked three wives and four concubines.
Can you not be happy now that you are home with a house full of lovely wives waiting on you?
As for those women’s struggles, maybe men still enjoy them.
But Yunfei feels quite tired. A heart has to be divided into three parts, and even tastes have to be remembered in three parts, as well as living habits and so on.
It’s just home, that’s what it is.
He changed his coat, wiped his face again, and then said: "I have passed the government examination, and my ranking is very high. I am sixteen, and I will leave for the college examination after the New Year."
"Really? My husband, you are really great!"
"It's okay, I'm not a scholar yet."
Even so, others were also very excited. After all, at least they had a quota for the college entrance examination!
Moreover, they have a lot of confidence in Yunfei, and they believe that he can definitely do it.
At that time, not to mention the convenience brought by status, just the head tax exemption for talented people will save a lot.
Speaking of this, Yunfei sighed a little. In fact, compared to the land tax that Blue Star's ancient talents were exempted from, this head tax is really nothing.
It’s just that there is too much harsh rule, and a little sweetness is enough to satisfy people.
Chapter one first, there is a high probability that I will not be able to catch up with the second chapter because I am not home yet.
(End of chapter)
