Wearing the cannon fodder little koi in the imperial examination essay

Chapter 288
Such a sentence suddenly rang in his ears, Song Xinglin hurriedly poked his head over, his mouth full of disbelief, "Really, Senior Brother Wang? Where is it, where is my name?"

Wang Shuisheng hurriedly pulled Song Xinglin, raised his hand and pointed to his name on the red list to show Song Xinglin, "Here, here! The name of the household registration is correct. Congratulations, Junior Brother Song, we all won!"

"Hahahaha! That's great, that's great! I've won too, I've actually won too!", the surprise came too fast, Song Xinglin hugged Wang Shuisheng beside him excitedly, and said incoherently with joy, "I still won't win!" I thought, I thought..." Damn it, he thought he was going to lose his name this time, and let Yuyu of his family down!

Wang Shuisheng was also affected by Song Xinglin's outgoing emotions, and he hugged his junior brother back, smiling and joking, "Hahaha, Junior Brother Song, what do you think? You think you failed the exam this time?"

"That's not true!" Song Xinglin hammered Wang Shuisheng's shoulder excitedly, "Just now when I looked at the list, I looked up backwards, but I only saw you, Senior Brother Wang, and you didn't see my name all the way, so I My heart is finished, after all, Senior Brother Wang, your schoolwork is much better than mine on weekdays, Master Li often praises you and demotes me..."

"Hi! Master Li likes you so he encourages you by belittling you. Brother Song, don't think about it. You and I have almost the same homework. Besides, I'm not lucky this time. I didn't do well in the exam. It is really a fluke to be on the list for those who are not selected." Speaking of this, Wang Shuisheng also felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore, Senior Brother Wang, my housemates must be waiting impatiently, this is not a place to talk, let's hurry back and tell them the good news."

"Okay, okay, we won't delay other candidates from looking at the rankings, let's go, let's go."

When the two of them squeezed out from the crowd that was as dense as fish deprived of oxygen, and hurried back to the second floor of the teahouse, Yu Su greeted them early, and asked eagerly when he saw them.

When he learned that both of them were on the list, Yu Su jumped three feet high excitedly, turned around and ran back, and told the good news to his eldest brother and sister-in-law who were waiting in the private room.

When Yu Baozong heard that his sister-in-law had been selected and became a child student successfully, he also felt comforted, and he couldn't help thinking of his second brother who was very smart since he was a child, but at this moment he didn't know where he was.

"Big brother, big brother?"

"Ok?"

Yu Su's call pulled Yu Baozong back from his thoughts.

Yu Baozong closed his eyes, collected his emotions, slowly put down the teacup in his hand, looked at his sister in front of him, and finally settled on his son-in-law.

"This time Xinglin Nengzhong is doing very well, but don't be proud, try to make persistent efforts! In addition, for the August exam, is Xinglin planning to continue this year, or wait for the next time? If you plan to go all out this year, how are you doing?" The plan? Are you going with Brother Wang? Or are you going to take the younger sister? Are you going to Yuezhou Mansion ahead of time now, or do you have other plans?"

This is an important matter, Song Xinglin thought for a while, glanced at Yu Su, then looked at his uncle and said his plan.

"Brother, I want to try this college exam. It's okay if I fail in the exam. I'm not afraid to continue to come back and study hard. As for the problem of going to Yuezhou Mansion... many things at home have not been properly arranged. , I want to go home first, after I have arranged everything at home, I will wait until June or so, and then invite Senior Brother Wang to go to Yuezhou Mansion to take the exam, but I don’t know what Senior Brother Wang plans to do?"

Song Xinglin and his wife took care of them all the way, Wang Shuzhi naturally said nothing, and immediately agreed, "I will go with Junior Brother Song."

Seeing this, Yu Baozong couldn't help nodding, "That's fine, as long as you have an idea in your heart."

He didn't intend to interfere too much with his sister-in-law's decision, as long as he treats his little sister well, he has no objection to anything else, even if he is worthless all his life, the worst is to help him out, as long as he treats his little sister well! But... "By the way, this time you got a child, do you want to go back to your messy home? Do you want to have a banquet in your family?"

After all, it is a great joy for the peasant family that the son-in-law was born a child, so Yu Baozong asked this question.

As the only family member of my sister, if my sister-in-law wants to have a banquet, he will naturally have to come forward. I will stop by to meet the bad family member of my sister-in-law's family, and warn him by the way. I have to let those spicy chickens know that my family The younger sister also has the backing of her natal family.

Unexpectedly, Song Xinglin didn't plan to go back at all, he had a reason.

"I won't go back to Manshan Village. It's April now, and we have to leave for Yuezhou Mansion early in June. Time is tight, so I don't plan to waste time going to Manshan Village. Besides, my cousin next door I didn't say a word when I was awarded a Tongsheng, and the banquet was only held after I was awarded a scholar. I am now a mere Tongsheng. If I go home to serve wine, the neighbors may think I am frivolous, so I will not, when the time comes When I get back to the county, I'll send a message to the other side."

Yu Baozong thought about it, and he also felt that his sister-in-law is still a good man, knowing that he has a good heart, which is very good, and he is very satisfied.

"Alright, you make up your own mind, but I will go to Yuezhou Mansion in June, and I will go with you." By the way, he also went to meet his biggest enemy who was hiding behind the scenes for a while, but he couldn't have the opportunity to fight immediately. To kill an enemy, at least you have to touch the opponent's bottom.

Song Xinglin also guessed what the uncle's plan was, so he became worried.

"Brother, the Yuezhou Mansion is not convenient. The elder brother has brought his sister-in-law to accompany the younger brother to work hard all the way, and the younger brother feels ashamed in his heart. I will go to the hospital exam by myself, so I won't bother you to work hard, right?"

He was really afraid that if the elder brother couldn't bear it and impulsively went to seek revenge on the governor and the princess, he was afraid that he would not be able to guarantee that he would be able to escape with his elder brother.

And from the county test to the government test, he had to be helped by his uncle and his wife for free all the way. How could he not be grateful? He also wanted to let his brother have a rest. After all, as the son-in-law of the Miaojiang royal family, Jiang protects, and the eldest uncle also has his responsibilities and responsibilities.

Yu Baozong saw the worries and concerns in his sister-in-law's eyes, and was more satisfied with Song Xinglin's attitude. However, he had plans, and he was not a three-year-old child anymore. Keeping that in mind, he looked at Song Xinglin reassuringly.

"Don't worry about this. I have my own plans and I won't be impulsive. Don't talk about other things. I will still send you to this hospital exam."

"Big brother!"

Song Xinglin was still waiting to persuade him, but Yu Baozong no longer gave him a chance, and immediately interrupted Song Xinglin's unfinished words.

"Okay, that's it. It's settled. There's no need to say anything else. Just take care of yourself, work hard, and take the exam well. At worst, I won't follow you when you go to Jinling for the provincial exam."

Well, everything has been decided, and Song Xinglin shut up and said nothing.

Just like that, Uncle Lang and Uncle Lang made a travel plan for June.

The college exam is not like the county exam. The college exam is the exam for all the students who have failed the rankings in the past and the past in a state.

Fearing that they would not be able to find a place to stay at that time like the government examination, Song Xinglin and Wang Shuisheng made an appointment to set off on the second day of June, and gave them a generous month to go on their way. Fearing that there would be too many people flocking to the state capital, they also gave them enough leeway Time to find accommodation.

Thinking about rushing for a month, and then finding a place to stay for more than a month, and adapting to the environment in advance, I am not afraid of unexpected changes when the time comes.

The family had enough rice, flour, grain and oil, and left ten taels of generous living money for Song Xiahe, and sent two taels of silver back to the old Song family in Manshan Village. After learning that Song Xinglin was a child student, this time he had to go to Yuezhou Prefecture to test for talent Song Baochang was very happy.

During the previous government examination, the third uncle brought Wulang to the county to help, and the small courtyard that the young couple had kept a secret for many years could no longer hide it.

The third uncle has a strict mouth, but Goro is young, and he was deceived by the same words of Luo Ximei and Zhou Yan, the family's caring people. How can the family not know the whereabouts of the young couple?

Fortunately, what Song Xinglin told the third uncle at the beginning was that they needed to do business and study, so they re-rented this small courtyard, and did not let the wolves in the family know that this courtyard was bought by their husband and wife, and it was in Su's name. Down.

In addition, now that he has been selected as a Tongsheng, his position in the old man's heart has increased. To the extent that the old man was fascinated by the imperial examination, Song Xinglin is not afraid of them coming to his door.

It has to be said that Song Xinglin still knows his grandfather very well, and he is indeed the biggest thorn in the family.

After Song Bao grew up and Song Xinglin became a child student, although he regretted not having a banquet, it didn't matter. Isn't this his good grandson who is going to be a scholar soon?

Song Baochang was thinking about it, and when Song Xinglin came home with a letter and proposed to let his third uncle take Wulang to the city again to accompany Song Xiahe, Song Baochang waved his hand without thinking about it, and even broke the record. , before they set off, personally led Zhou Caihua to the county seat.

He brought his wife along with his third son and fifth grandson to the small courtyard. When they came, Yu Su and Song Xiahe were still busy in the street, and Song Xinglin was studying at home.

Hearing the knock on the door, Song Xinglin came to open the door, and was surprised to see the person standing outside the door.

"Grandfather and grandma, why are you here?" Didn't he just send a message for third uncle to bring Wulang?
Song Baochang turned a blind eye to his grandson's frown, and instead went down the steps by himself, "Hahaha, grandpa's good grandson, grandpa misses you so much, why don't you bring your grandma to see you?"

Fortunately, grandson!Song Xinglin couldn't help but twitch.

Song Xinglin didn't believe his grandpa's words at all, but he couldn't shut out the elders when he was outside now, Song Xinglin, who didn't feel sorry for the old man at all, nodded, "Well, the grandson also misses grandpa and grandma, the elders go away You're tired from the journey, come in quickly." She turned sideways to let the door open, ready for someone to go in first.

Song Baochang was very satisfied with the compliments from his stabbing grandson, um, he was not satisfied, for the sake of Tongsheng, even if the grandson in front of him refused to let him in, he felt happy in his heart.

Song Baochang was very beautiful in his heart, the more he looked at his big grandson, the more satisfied he was, he grinned, holding the cigarette stick, and entered the door with his hands behind his back, while looking at the environment of the small courtyard, he also ordered the people who came in behind him.

"Third brother, hurry up and take out all the dishes I ordered you to bring and show me Erlang."

After Song Sande took off his back basket, Chief Song Bao lit these, and asked the old woman to lead the three daughter-in-laws to go to the field early in the morning to pull the house, and pick fresh fruits and vegetables that were cleaned. With Song Xinglin Road.

"Erlang, these are fruits and vegetables grown at home. They were just picked early in the morning. They are very fresh. Grandpa brought them for you and your granddaughter-in-law to try. Don't be disgusted."

Song Xinglin raised his eyebrows, cupped his hands and thanked, "Be more mindful of Grandpa and Grandma, my grandson will not dislike it, please trouble the elders."

Today, he has been taught by Mrs. Li for many years, and he has learned a lot about how to behave in the world. He is no longer that irritable Song Er ruffian, and he has learned to hide. In the old saying of his family Yuyu, thick black learning is very important.

Disgusted and loathed in his heart, but he didn't show it at all on his face, Song Baochang just didn't notice the twists and turns in Song Xinglin's heart at all.

Seeing that his grandson not only gave face to his parents, but was different from the past, even speaking and acting with a 'gentle' vigor, Elder Song Bao was comforted.

I don't know what it means to be pleasing to the eye, Song Baochang, and he was always happy. His big rough hand grabbed Song Xinglin's arched hands before he could take them back, and Song Baochang patted them down, saying hello repeatedly.

"Good, good, grandpa's grandson has grown up, is sensible, good, good-natured, good-natured..."

Give some color, and his grandpa will climb up the pole?
Song Xinglin frowned, a little impatient to play Zucisunxiao with his grandpa, so he changed the subject quickly, "Grandpa, did you come to the city this time just to deliver food to your grandson?"

Song Baochang hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not." Thinking of his plan last night, he hurriedly turned his head and said to his wife who was one step behind him, "Old lady, hurry up and bring out the things we agreed on last night."

Zhou Caihua hesitated after hearing the words, and didn't want to go forward.

When Song Baochang saw this, he frowned, and his tone became fierce, "Hurry up, bring it quickly! If you don't come here again, go home and see if I won't deal with you!"

After being so fiercely attacked by the old man, the old stingy Zhou Caihua reluctantly stepped forward, and when he got close to Song Xinglin, under Song Baochang's vicious gaze, he reluctantly took out a small cloth bag from his cuff, angrily And full of reluctance to stuff it to Song Baochang.

Song Baochang held the small cloth bag and slowly opened it, revealing one big and one small inside, a silver ingot and a silver nude.

Seeing things, Song Xinglin raised his eyebrows, a little puzzled, so he just listened to Song Bao's long words.

"Erlang, it was because of family difficulties before, and it was Grandpa's fault. I didn't take care of you all the time, which made you wronged. Now that you are going to take the scientific examination, the family can't help you with other things. You asked Zongcai to take it back. Two taels of silver, grandpa brought back this time, and last time you beat the tiger to honor grandpa and grandma, grandpa also took five taels, you bring all of these, poor family rich road, grandpa don’t I can't help you, Erlang is a good grandson, don't dislike Ang."

Seeing the money that the old man held in front of him, and hearing the old man's soft words, Song Xinglin was not moved, but chilled.

Sure enough, in Old Song's family, those who are promising and helpful to the family are their good grandchildren, but I am actually not as good as Song Xingshan, at least, that guy is a bit stupid, but what I get is the old man The old lady really loves it, unlike herself...

Right now, this encounter is the wooing of the old couple, right?
It can be seen that what they love is always themselves.

Song Xinglin kept telling himself, don't expect, don't expect too much, anyway, he has enough fish and fish.

As for the seven taels of silver handed over to him?
It is impossible to refuse. It is rare for a stingy old couple to come to your door. They have only been in and out for so many years, and it is rare for them to go out. Wouldn't it be a shame to refuse?
Song Xinglin stretched out his hand to take it, and thanked him, but in his heart, he thought about what the old man said next, "Glory to the ancestors, don't forget the words at home, and sneered."

After collecting the money and exchanging pleasantries, Song Xinglin didn't leave any food, and used the excuse that he wanted to study, and directly sent the two elders away, but they were still not angry, and walked away cheerfully. Song Xinglin was also speechless.

Putting all these aside, after settling down at home and saying goodbye to relatives and friends, it is advisable to go out on this day in early June. Yu Su Song Xinglin and his wife, together with Wang Shuisheng, were led by Yu Baozong and Ah Yue with ten strong and strong martial arts Protected by the stubble, the three carriages headed all the way to Yuezhou Mansion.
