Chapter 93
Just as everyone was joking, Xiao Si hurriedly ran down the hall outside the door and shouted loudly: "I'm in! The young master is in! The eldest son is in!" sweating, panting, and barely able to speak, he said intermittently: "Young Master, No. 40 second!"

Song Chenhai's expressionless face suddenly burst into a smile, Liang said with a smile: "Reward! Reward quickly!"

Mother Xu took out two large silver ingots of ten taels from the box and stuffed them to Xiao Si, who was smart and fast.

"Thank you, Ma'am! Congratulations, Eldest Young Master! Congratulations, Eldest Young Master!" Xiao Si took the money and went down to rest with a happy face.

After a while, another Xiaosi rushed in shouting: "Tong Jiuye has won! Tong Jiuye has won! 98th place!"

Tong Jiu is a cousin of a certain brother of the Song family in Jiangling. Tong's family is also a big family in Jiangling. There was a servant in his ancestors. Tong Jiu's grandfather was also a Jinshi. Unfortunately, his fathers have only Juren and have not been admitted to Jinshi. .

Tong Jiu wanted to hook Song Jiadalang's shoulder and laugh heartily, but glanced at Song Erlang and Song Chenxu, and dared not laugh too happily.

The two bamboo needles in Mrs. Liang's hand stopped, obviously nervous, Mr. Song held her hand comfortingly, patted the back of her hand, and said with a smile: "On the second day after the exam, I will help you The two brothers have read the article, and it’s not a big problem, at most it’s just that the ranking is a bit worse, and you won’t fail the ranking, don’t worry.”

Mrs. Liang clutched her chest, she was still nervous after all, these two children were the most successful in the family, and it was these two children who she spent the most effort in educating, the palms and backs of the hands were all meaty, but it would be better to hit them all!
At this time, there was a knocking of gongs outside the gate, and the servants brought the servants who announced the good news into the main hall, and the servants sang loudly: "Song Jia Dalang, Song Chenhai, two candidates for No. 40 in the exam! Congratulations, Song Ge Old man, congratulations, Mrs. Song!"

Xu's mother immediately took the silver and came forward, with a smile all over her face: "Thank you, sir! Why don't you stay and have a cup of tea before leaving?"

The yamen servant declined for a moment, and just as he was polite to Mother Xu, another Xiaosi rushed in and shouted: "Thirteen Lords, 150 and six! Thirteen Lords, 150 and six!"

This time it's from Jiangling's family. The name is Song Jianshu. You can tell from the name that he is of the same generation as Mr. Song. He is 32 years old this year, and his eldest son is about to discuss marriage. This time he finally passed the Jinshi exam. congratulations.

The gongyuan yamen servant who didn't leave took another piece of reward from Master Song Shisan, so he simply sat down to drink tea, and wondered if he could get another reward later!

After waiting for a long time, the second yamen servant who came to announce the good news came knocking on the gong. Song Chenxu sat quietly by the side, drinking tea with his head down calmly, but in fact his hand holding the teacup was trembling slightly. trembling.

The ranking of the second brother Song Chenxu has not yet been reported. There are several possibilities for this, either the ranking is worse than the 150th place, or he is not selected.You must know that there are only about 300 Gongsheng students admitted in one session of the general examination, and the more than 150 places will be allocated to one third of Nanjing. That is to say, only about [-] students can be admitted in Beijing, which is three If it's worse, then it's really possible to lose the ranking.

But there is another possibility, that is, his name is in the top [-] on the red list and will be announced at the end.

But Song Chenxu didn't dare to think about it, because his grades in the college examination were not very good, especially in reciting poems and composing Fu, he was far inferior to his elder brother Song Chenhai. On the red list?
Just when Mr. Song was also worried about his second son, Song Chenxu's Xiao Si, Gu Er rushed into the room screaming like a firecracker: "I won! The second son also won! No. 19 on the red list! No. 19!"

As he yelled, he spread his ass on the ground, "Second...Second Young Master...No.19...nine!"

Song Chenxu's tense face finally relaxed, and he seemed to be crying and laughing for a moment, looking at his father and elder brother tearfully, Song Chenhai was happy for his younger brother, he walked over and patted his younger brother on the shoulder, Song Chenxu suddenly hugged his elder brother's waist and cried out, tears and snot all wiped on his elder brother's skirt.

Song Chenxu wrote this article very boldly. In the eyes of Mr. Song, it can be regarded as a masterpiece with substance, but the shortcomings are also obvious, that is, the words are simple and the rhetoric is not gorgeous enough. Even Mr. Song is not sure whether he can Get a good ranking.Now everyone finally let go of their half-month-long hearts.

The first government servant who was drinking tea here hadn’t left yet. Mother Xu smiled and gave the third reward. The government servant suddenly laughed until his eyes disappeared, and he knew it was the right choice to stay and drink another cup of tea !

Gu Er ran almost to his death, Master Song personally gave him a 50 tael bank note, which made all the servants in the hall envious.

This time the red list came out, and if no one came to announce the good news, they really failed the list. Some people were happy and some were worried in the hall.But the two sons of the master's family passed the exam, and their rankings were still very high. No matter how frustrated they were, those candidates who failed the exam did not dare to appear too depressed in front of Song Ge.

The main hall was bustling for a while, and then two yamen servants came to beat the gong to announce the good news. It was a great honor to be able to knock the gong four times in front of the gate of a mansion.

Mrs. Liang held the hand of one of her sons with one hand, and was so happy that she was speechless.

Song Jianshu and Tong Jiulang Tong Xiyan, who were on the list this time, were also very happy. One of them received a big red envelope of 900 taels from Master Song. The red envelope of 100 taels of silver made everyone feel happy, and then told them that those who want to continue living at home to study, they can live with peace of mind, and those who are willing to bring their family members to the capital, feel free to ask and add a few more pairs of chopsticks As for the matter, Mr. Song Ge's family has a big business now, so he must be able to arrange it properly.

The reason why the Song family can become such a big tree with deep roots and luxuriant branches is that the Song family has spared no effort to provide financial support to the children of the family and even the children of the wife's family. The mansion supports nearly a hundred children, scholars, and juren. Every year, the servants of the Gong Yuan go to the Song Mansion to beat the gong several times, which makes everyone in Beijing compete to follow suit, but no one can recruit them.
