Chapter 78 78 Going Home
After the results of the first government examination were released, Wei Guangde stayed in Jiujiang Mansion for a few more days, after all, he had to wait for the final case.

Although after the first round, he must have passed the government test, but Wei Guangde was still a little worried when he didn't see his name on the red list.

As he wished, because the first test had already been passed, neither Wu Dong nor Zhang Shigui was very concerned about Wei Guangde's reluctance to take the next test.

Wei Guangde, who is 13 years old, wants to fight for the top case, not to mention that they don't believe it, it is too unreliable.

As for how to spend the next few days, there are not many places to visit in Jiujiang Mansion, but Wei Guangde did not take the exam, and the time was reorganized, so Zhang Hongfu took them to Lushan directly.

"Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen nine days."

Li Bai's "Looking at Lushan Waterfall" is very famous. Wei Guangde has read it in later generations, so naturally he will not object, and he is happy to go with it.

Counting the days, they returned to Jiujiang Mansion just the day before the test results were released.

Wei Guangde, who is 13 years old, has grown into a full body, and the horses in Jiujiang Weili are naturally not comparable to the two old horses in Bengshanbao.

It's coming, I can't sit still.

But half an hour later, he was barely able to follow behind Zhang Hongfu and Wu Dong.

This is also the reason why Wei Guangde has been riding a horse since he was a child. Although the horse in Bengshanbao is not good and cannot run fast, his body has long been familiar with the reaction of the horse running. In fact, it is a process of getting familiar with the rhythm of the fast horse running.

Wu Dong was already good at equestrian skills, but Wei Guangde didn't expect Zhang Hongfu to be as good.

I used to think that Zhang Hongfu was just a young man, and he should have abandoned the ability of military households to eat long ago, but I didn't expect that Zhang Hongfu was really not proficient in fists, feet, knives and guns, but he was still good at horseback riding, and his skills were actually very vigorous.

"According to my grandfather's request, even if it's a show, but you can't lose the ability to ride a horse, otherwise it will be easy to leak when you go out."

When Wei Guangde talked about Zhang Hongfu's riding skills, he was quite proud, "Commanding Tongzhi is from the third grade. To attack an official position, you need to go to the Ministry of War in the capital. Not only do you have to do it there, but you also have to show off your airs. If you don't know how to use horses Riding, how do you pass the level?"

After hearing Zhang Hongfu's words, Wei Guangde knew that in order to successfully attack his post, these hereditary officer families still knew that there were some things that could not be lost.

"If you can't bear hardships, you are not good at martial arts. As a commander, when will you go to the battlefield to fight the enemy?

If it’s really for that sake, let’s ride a horse and run, haha”

Zhang Hongfu himself started laughing when he said that, and Wu Dong and Wei Guangde behind him could only laugh a few times.

Originally, Wei Guangde thought that the Zhang family chose to hide their strengths and bide their time because they were in the military profession, and hide the feeling of merit and fame. Maybe they are still very strict in discipline to their children in private, but they did not expect to teach this.

When the list of government examinations came out, Wei Guangde got on the list as he wished. Although he was at the bottom of the crane, this time he was really at the bottom of the crane, and he didn't take the exam in the next few rounds, so what else could he hope for?
Like Pengze County, give back a middle ranking, don't even think about it.

At this time, the troops sent by Jiujiangwei this time did not send back any news, and there was no information about the extermination of the Japanese pirates in the news that was sent back and forth on weekdays, but it can still be seen from the military newspaper that the Japanese pirates this time The harassment along the coast of Zhejiang is not light.

"Japanese pirates invaded Taizhou, broke through Huangyan, and plundered Xiangshan and Dinghai towns."

This is the only battle situation mentioned in the military newspapers. Huangyan County under the jurisdiction of Taizhou Prefecture was breached, the county seat and surrounding villages and towns were looted, and Xiangshan and Dinghai counties in Ningbo Prefecture were also robbed.

As for the news from the Wenzhou government, the military newspaper has not mentioned it yet, but based on the news that has come in so far, it is an indisputable fact that the three county towns have been looted.

In fact, it was just a loss, and there was no news of the battle between the Weisuo Army and the Japanese pirates.

Maybe there was, maybe there was no fighting at all, anyway, the coast of Zhejiang has become a mess.

The news of the college examination has not been announced yet, but the academic officer has been staying in Nanchang Tixue Yamen for a while, and it seems that the venue of the college examination will be the same as usual, that is, the Nanchang Mansion Gongyuan held it.

After the official release of the list, Wei Guangde officially became a freshly-baked child student of the Ming Dynasty.

He lingered in Jiujiang Mansion for a few more days, but still did not wait for news from the front line, so he had to return to Pengze by boat.

But Zeng Yuanrui stayed in Jiujiang Mansion, together with his elder brother Zeng Yuanshu, and may also follow him to Nanchang Mansion for an examination at the Institute of Knowledge and Knowledge.

He didn't pass the government test this time, and the blow to Zeng Yuanrui was still a bit big, mainly because of Wei Guangde's influence on the list.

It is said that there is no harm if there is no comparison. If the two little guys fail the ranking, maybe he doesn't care about anything, but Wei Guangde is on the ranking.

In fact, at the banquet after the announcement of the first ranking, Wei Guangde was also forced to recount all the articles he had written. Maybe it was because he was on the ranking, but everyone who heard it said that the writing was good.

But from Zeng Yuanrui's point of view, that's all.

After bidding farewell to Zhang Shigui and seeing off Zhang Hongfu, Wei Guangde and his cousin Wu Dong boarded the fast boat of Jiujiangwei and went down the river to Pengze.

The delay in Pengze for a day was mainly due to the fact that it was already afternoon, and my aunt kept Wei Guangde to have a feast for him to celebrate, and invited Liu Cheng and Liu Qianhu's family, who were staying at the Qianhu Office, together.

Well, because Liu Cheng's daughter has already made an engagement with Wei Wencai, so speaking of it, she is also from her own family, although she hasn't been married yet.

Liu Qianhu actually heard about the news that Wei Guangde passed the government examination and became a child student two days ago, and the Jiujiang government had already sent the official document to the Pengze county government.

Knowing that he is his son-in-law's brother, Liu Cheng is quite satisfied. It is a great thing for his in-laws to have a scholar.

Wei Guangde also saw his future sister-in-law Liu Yunhui, who was also pretty, sitting on the side with his two cousins.

Sitting next to Wei Guangde is his cousin Wu Dong, and his elder brother's brother-in-law Liu Ruiguang.

Well, Wei Guangde got to know everyone in the Liu family.

Previously, Wei Guangde only knew a little about the Liu family from his eldest brother, but he had never met many of them. Only Liu Cheng, because he was a vice-thousand householder, sometimes met him.

This delayed another day. On the second day after returning to Pengze County, Wei Guangde borrowed a horse from the Qianhu Office, and rode the horse back directly to Bengshan Fort.

Bengshan Fort is still the same as when Wei Guangde left, except that the daily drill soldiers outside the fort are gone.

Because the main force of a hundred households was transferred to Zhejiang, only a few military households were farming in the fields outside Bengshan Fort.

Wei Guangde just hung his luggage on the saddle, and returned to his hometown single-handedly like this.
