Wang Hanwei clenched her handkerchief. Although she had heard 888 say it once, she still couldn't help but be worried when she heard that the Tan family met a thief.
Knowing the whole story, the Tan family was even more angry. They never imagined that they had worked hard for three years to pave the way for those rotten people. If it weren't for the worry that the Liang family was still here, I would have started to curse.
Qi Yuan also knew that Tan Che must discuss it with his family. The Tan family was not as good as the Liang family. Tan Che's two brothers had already married, and the farmland at home was enough to make a living.
The yard rented by 888 was quite good, and the corresponding money was almost used.
After the two families had dinner, Qi Yuan washed up and sat in the room. Wang Hanwei and Tang were already waiting.
"Qingyuan, if it's like what you said, what are your plans next?" Wang Hanwei asked, and Tang looked at Qi Yuan, obviously thinking the same thing.
"My cousin is born with supernatural powers, so protecting us will not be a problem. We can only live in Yangzhou City for a while, and then return to Anyuan County after the results of the provincial examination, and then go north to the capital in the spring."
Qi Yuan's expression was firm and he was not worried at all that he would not be able to make the list.
"Just trust me and stay in Yangzhou City with peace of mind. Those people are not powerful. It's just that we are so passive because we have no power.
After the provincial examination was over and they had the status of being elected, they did not dare to move. I'm just afraid that they won't dare to touch Brother Tan and me, so they will attack you.
I predict that the second elder of the Tan family and Brother Tan's younger sister will follow him to the capital. After all, the main purpose of those people is to force Brother Tan to observe filial piety. "
Qi Yuan analyzed it and Tang nodded. Although Qi Yuan said it well, how could this person be so successful? What should they do if they fail the provincial examination?
Just seeing her uncle's confidence and his daughter's complete trust, Tang really couldn't bear to break the tacit understanding between the couple.
No matter whether Qi Yuan wins the imperial examination or not, he can go to the capital or escape for his life. They all need money, not to mention going to the foot of the Imperial City in the capital, I'm afraid they need money even more.
And where does the money come from? Tang had no choice but to start thinking.
Qi Yuan and Tan Che came back one day, washed and rested for a night, discussed the future with their families, and then entered the examination room to continue the examination.
As always, Qi Yuan's remaining two exams did not disappoint Jian Lin. He still finished writing the exam questions unhurriedly and then started waiting boringly.
This idle look was in sharp contrast to the other candidates. This comparison made it more and more obvious that this person was just going through the motions.
But every time Jian Lin became more and more sure that Qi Yuan was here for nothing, he would have to waver again after just a cursory glance at Shuan Juan.
Just taking a look at it makes people's eyes light up. How could such a test paper be for nothing?
As a person who had been an emperor, Qi Yuan really couldn't be too comfortable with things like policy theory.
After three consecutive examinations, the nine-day provincial examination finally came to an end. Qi Yuan walked out of the examination room refreshed. When Tan Che looked equally happy, the two returned to the courtyard together.
After all, Tan Che's two brothers were married and each had their own plans. Although they were worried about their safety, the wind blowing around their pillows made them start to complain about Tan Che.
Tan Che has been taking the scientific examination for three years, and now it has even brought disaster.
Although he didn't show it on his face, Qi Yuan could tell something from Tan Che when he occasionally saw Tan Che walking back and forth in the courtyard.
The two brothers of the Tan family are waiting for the results of the provincial examination. If Tan Che wins, the elder brother and younger sister will follow Tan Che to the capital, and the house and farmland at home will belong to them.
Thinking of taking this opportunity to separate the family, the expressions of the two sisters-in-law of the Tan family became slightly better.
It has to be said that when there are more people, there are more conflicts. Tang can see clearly that Tan Che and the two elders of the Tan family are good people, but even the two sisters-in-law of the Tan family are too evil. They even have to calculate the money for meals and groceries.
Tang's family could only turn a blind eye. After all, if both of them could win the election, they would be able to take care of each other in the officialdom in the future as they share the same adversity.
As the days passed, Tan Che's face became more and more sad. When interests are involved, even blood relatives are inevitably involved in plotting.
Tan Che had expected such a situation early on, but he still couldn't help but be disappointed. Tan Che has been in the academy, and the academy supports all his expenses, and occasionally he can save money to take home. It's only been one year since I left the academy and I've been at home for so long.
Compared with those who took the imperial examination and gnawed at the flesh and blood of their families, Tan Che was already much better.
One month of getting along didn't last long, and finally it was time for the results to be released in September. Everyone couldn't help but become nervous. The future path depends entirely on today.
888 went to see the ranking list early in the morning. Tan Che knew it well, but he was not sure about the ranking. If the ranking could be higher and the attention would be higher, the people in the academy would be more worried.
The people at Yucai Academy just made Tan Che sick and miss the exam, and then asked the students to memorize Tan Che's articles and write policies. It's just cheating in this way.
If you want to really put your hand into the imperial examination, I'm afraid the prefect will not agree first. There was fraud in the imperial examination, and he would not be able to sit in this position. He was originally from a noble family, but he was just waiting for qualifications. The prefect was stupid to do such a self-destructive thing.
"I got it, I got it!" 888 came in excitedly and shouted with a happy face.
"Did my brother-in-law get hit too?" Tan Che's second sister-in-law asked.
"Mr. Tan won the second prize," 888 said with a smile.
Not only the Tan family, but also Tan Che were a little surprised by such a ranking, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. Tan Che still ranked second in the exam. The Tan family was really happy for him at this moment.
"What about my uncle? How is my uncle?" Tang and Wang Hanwei remained silent. Instead, Xiaolan walked up to 888 and asked in a low voice.
"I won. My eldest brother is the top one in today's provincial examination. He is Jieyuan. The person who was released by the prefect to congratulate me is right behind me." 888 took a breath and said excitedly.
888's voice was loud, and everyone in the yard heard it. Mrs. Tang excitedly held Wang Hanwei's hand.
The first name is Jie Yuan! Her Hanwei is also an official wife, so her good days are coming.
Sure enough, not long after 888 finished speaking, there was movement outside the yard.
People watching the excitement gathered outside the door, wanting to see what Jieyuan, who came first in the provincial examination, looked like.
"Master Liang and Master Tan are both here. This is a message sent by the magistrate, asking you to attend the deer singing banquet tomorrow night." The Yamen officer respectfully handed over the two invitations with both hands, and then handed over another tray. superior.
"These are the official silver and student uniforms given by the imperial court to the two gentlemen." The yamen officer handed the two trays to Qi Yuan and Tan Che respectively, and then respectfully resigned and went back to report the news.
Anyone who succeeds in the provincial examination will receive subsidies from the court. Qi Yuan and Tan Che are the winners of the provincial examination respectively, Jieyuan and Yayuan, so the money will be even more.
After seeing off the yamen servant, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. This money was regarded as a solution to an urgent need.
