I go to the ancient imperial examinations

Chapter 11 The Arrival of the Magistrate
Ten days passed in a flash, and Mrs. Li did as much as she should, but she never spoke to the Zhan family.

The same is true for Zhan Feiyu. He stayed in the house to accompany Mr. Li after eating. The whole Zhan family was very quiet. Only Zhan Niuniu, who was not sensible in the third room, would laugh and stagger around the house and the yard.

Boss Zhan also had a stern face all day. He went to work in the fields before dawn, and only came back when it was dark. It seemed that he wanted to vent all his suffocation and pain on farm work.

And the masochistic work of Zhan's boss made Zhan Feiyu feel more sad and sad. For the first time, he understood what it means to hate relatives and be quick to enemies!

The three rooms of the second room are different from the clean and tidy rooms of the big room. The little Yao family will not tidy them up. Miscellaneous things are piled up everywhere, and they look particularly sloppy.

"Sister-in-law is really arrogant." Xiao Yaoshi muttered that her nose was not her nose and her eyes were not eyes. She glanced out the window, and then smiled slyly, "In the end, it wasn't my Saburo who went to the private school."

Zhan's second son also showed a smug smile on his face, and the old god was instructing the little Yao Shi to be a man and do things, "in a moment you will make amends for my sister-in-law, remember to bring Dalang and Saburo together, the eldest brother has a good face and soft ears, these are all I made it for my eldest brother, as long as the eldest brother is facing us, the eldest sister-in-law can't do anything."

Xiao Yao's brows were raised as he looked at the second Zhan's son, and his voice was light and happy, "I'm not stupid, as long as our Saburo can go to the private school, I will say a lot of good things."

Thinking of pressing down on the capable sister-in-law, Xiao Yao's face burst into laughter, saying that it was an apology, it was better to show off and show off, to see the joke of sister-in-law Li.

"That's the reason." The second son of Zhan narrowed his eyes to cover the light of calculation in his eyes. It was right to take the risk and drug the elder sister-in-law back then, otherwise, how would you manage the elder brother's family today.

……

Although it has been decided to let Saburo go to the private school, and let Erlang go next year, but because it has been spread all over the village, this test still has to go through a stage, otherwise Zhan Saburo will have to bear the burden of bullying his cousins ​​and siblings, forcibly robbing him before he enters school. 's notoriety.

In the afternoon, old man Zhan and old lady Zhan sat upright on the two armchairs in front of the main room, and the rest of the Zhan family also found chairs and stools and sat down.

Zhan Dalang, wearing a blue robe, stood beside Mrs. Zhan, and he would preside over the exam in a while.

"It rained heavily yesterday, and it's much cooler today." Xiao Yaoshi turned his head to look outside the door and said, his whole face was radiant, and the smug look in his eyes couldn't be suppressed.

Sitting on the bench, Mrs. Li didn't answer, she just hugged Zhan Feiyu who was sitting next to her. It was a foregone conclusion that Sanlang entered the private school. Mrs. Li only hated her man for caring about everyone and not the family. They were bulls and horses in the end. But wronged her daughter.

Zhan Feiyu leaned on Li's body obediently and attached. The matter has come to this point, and it is useless to talk about it. If he misses this opportunity, he will be able to plot again in the future.

But listening to the raspy voice of the second aunt and her undisguised smug smile, Zhan Feiyu felt aggrieved.

"Okay, let's get started, Erlang, you should go back..." Before the old man Zhan finished speaking, he looked up and saw that the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

"Third brother!" The village chief in his 50s shouted anxiously, walking quickly, and said to the Zhan family in the main room: "Quick, pack up quickly, the county magistrate is here, and he has arrived at the entrance of the village!"

Uh... The Zhan family stared dumbfoundedly at the village chief who was holding the door frame and panting, the county magistrate?

Running too fast, this will finally relieve his breath, the village chief saw the stupid Zhan family and patted their thighs in a hurry, and simply commanded, "Third brothers and three sisters-in-law, quickly boil water to make tea, there is tea at home. Right? Clean the tables and chairs, and clean up the yard!"

It rained heavily yesterday, and today is a cloudy day. The main room looks dark and cramped, and there are some winter melons and pumpkins piled up in the corners. It is better to receive the magistrate in the yard. The place is spacious and cool when the wind blows.

The Zhan family were all confused, and were mechanically yelled at by the village chief to do things.

The men quickly cleaned up the clutter in the yard, and Mrs. Zhan picked up the bamboo broom and swiftly swept the fallen leaves on the ground.Mrs. Ma wiped the chairs and benches again. Mrs. Li added a firewood in the kitchen and helped Mrs. Yao to wash the cups used for hospitality at home.

The gong of the yamen opened the way, and the village chief led the villagers to kneel to greet them.

Chen Weibin was wearing a blue t-shirt, with a thin face, a short beard on his chin, and a solemn and majestic body. "The Holy One once said: When building a country, the ruler and the people, teaching is the first. This county has heard that the Zhan family entered a private school for a test. I don't know where it is. Three sons?"

"Sir, it is these three children." The village chief's voice trembled a little under the tension.

The village chief often goes to the county government office every year because of taxation, population, and acreage matters. Although he only contacts small officials in soapy clothes, he is compared to the Zhan family, who dare not come out, and the cautious villagers who surround the courtyard gate and fence. At least the village head can still answer normally.

Among the three children standing side by side, whether it was the stubborn Zhan Saburo or the honest and sensible Zhan Erlang, affected by the tense atmosphere, their faces were pale, their heads were lowered, their bodies were hunched, and their legs were shaking.

Only Zhan Feiyu, after suppressing his shock, looked at the county magistrate who was sitting at the main seat, and the child's voice sounded crisply, "Master Hui is me and Erlang and Saburo. Whoever wins will enter the school."

Chen Weibin was serious and unsmiling, and he would look at Zhan Feiyu who answered.

The little girl was wearing coarse clothes, with a white and tender bun face, and there was aura in her childishness, and Chen Weibin's cold and hard face lines were obviously softened a bit, "In this case, this county, Zhao Jiaoyu, and Master Lin will act as referees. "

"Follow the orders of your lord." Zhao Jiaoyu and Master Lin looked at each other, bowed respectfully to the county magistrate Chen, and sat down on the chair under the magistrate Chen.

The sudden arrival of the county magistrate was because of the entrance examination for the three children of the Zhan family. Not to mention that the villagers were frightened and terrified. Zhao Jiaoyu and Lin Fuzi were equally at a loss, and the four yamen who followed did not understand, but they did not One dares to question.

In the solemn silence, the Zhan family members in the yard were so frightened that they dared not come out.

Master Lin glanced at it, and even Zhan Dalang, who had been in school for many years, lowered his head and shrank behind Zhan's second son, not to mention Zhan Erlang and Zhan Saburo, who were younger and had never seen the world.

"Sir, why don't we let Zhan Feiyu start first." Master Lin's voice was gentle, and he looked at the only calm little girl in the audience.

The county magistrate Chen nodded dispensably, and sat on the armchair with his eyes half-squinted, making it even more elusive to understand the purpose of his trip.

Zhan Feiyu clenched his fleshy little fist suddenly, and the already hopeless thought instantly burned like a prairie fire. No matter why the county magistrate appeared, Zhan Feiyu knew that this was the only opportunity, as long as he seized it. , you can enroll yourself.
