Chapter 47
Lin Changlu hurried to the yard and opened the door.

Tonight is exactly sixteen, and the moon is just round.

The road is clearly illuminated by the moon, so that the carriage can travel at night.

Seeing the carriage slowly approaching, Lin Changlu couldn't help but greet him.

"Is the boss you?"

Lin Errong who was sitting on the shaft of the car quickly replied: "Father, it's us, why are you up so late?"

As soon as Lin Errong waited for the carriage to stop, he couldn't wait to jump down.

"You haven't heard from us all this time, we can't sleep! Where's Lili?"

Hearing Lin Changlu's voice, Ah Li quickly opened the curtain and came out.

He yelled crisply and loudly, "Father, we're back!"

Lin Changlu stepped forward and hugged Ah Li from the shaft of the car, "Li Li is finally back, you don't know that your mother and I miss you very much."

"I miss my parents too, how are you at home?"

"Okay, let's go in!"

The Lu family coachman also planned to leave after sending the people there.

Lin Darong took ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "Brother, thank you for so many days, we have nothing else to express our gratitude, I hope you don't feel too little."

The Lu family coachman quickly refused, "Brother, I can't ask for this, and you don't have to worry about it. These are all arranged by my young master, let me protect you, I will go back without disturbing."

Lin Darong had no choice but to give up, and had to see how he could thank Lu Qingling when the time came.

A group of people moved their things into the house.

Pei Shi and the others saw that several people came back safely, and everyone had smiles on their faces.

When the four boys saw their father coming back, they all ran over and pulled his father to sit down.

Shiro accidentally touched his father's wound while tugging on his arm.

He hissed in pain.

Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Pei walked over and asked, "Boss, what's wrong with your hand?"

"Mother, it's okay, I accidentally knocked on it two days ago."

Pei asked him to roll up his sleeves for them to see.

Lin Darong hesitated and refused for a long time.

Lin Changlu looked at Lin Errong and asked, "What's going on with your elder brother?"

Lin Errong sighed and said, "Oh, brother, why don't you tell your parents! Anyway, the matter is over."

Only then did Lin Darong tell what had happened in the past few days.

When Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Pei heard that Lin Darong had been slashed, they burst into tears of distress.

They saw Lin Darong's bandaged wound, and then wiped away their tears.

Pei hugged Ah Li, "Li Li, have you been frightened? Those bandits are so worthless, how could they rob other people's children?"

Ah Li shook his head, "Mom, I'm fine, it's the bad guys who have trouble."

In order to ease the atmosphere, Lin Errong pushed Lin Sanrong in front of Mrs. Pei and Lin Changlu, "Father and mother, you don't know that my third brother passed the No. 2 government examination this time!"

Lin Changlu became excited instantly, and said in surprise, "Second brother, what did you say?"

"I said that my second brother passed the No. 2 government examination."

Lin Changlu walked up to Lin Sanrong, and patted his shoulders with both hands, "The youngest is doing well, really well, I'm doing my father a favor."

Lin Sanrong knelt down, "Father, mother, eldest brother, second brother, sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, thank you for your dedication to me over the years."

Mrs. Pei hurriedly helped Lin Sanrong up, "Silly boy, you are a child now, and you will have to be a scholar in the future, so you can't kneel down so easily."

Lin Sanrong said seriously: "Kneeling to heaven and earth, parents, brothers and sisters-in-law is a matter of course, others must not be able to do that."

Ah Li saw that everyone was so happy, she pulled Pei Shi and said, "Father, we still have a lot of money!"

Mrs. Pei was a little confused, why did she go out and pay more money.

Lin Errong quickly took the bag of silver to the table and opened it.

Ah Li earned 50 taels from opening a consultation at the inn, and Luo Yun returned her 100 taels of consultation fees plus the 160 taels of silver reward from the magistrate, adding up to a total of [-] taels.

For their farm family, this is a lot of money.

Everyone looked at the pile of silver ingots on the table and opened their mouths wide in shock.

Lin Errong explained the origin of the money seriously.

Ah Li shook his head happily, and asked Lin Errong to share the things that Mr. Deng gave to everyone.

The entire Lin family was so excited that they couldn't sleep that night.

Another Lin family in the village, Lin Dabao, couldn't sleep in bed. He also passed the Tongsheng exam, but he just happened to be stuck at the end.

However, Lin Sanrong was ranked second. This result made him a little unacceptable. He felt that Lin Sanrong had only studied in the village school for a few years and usually had to do farm work.

How come the government test is so much higher than him.

When he came back two days ago, the villagers knew that he had passed the Tongsheng exam, and everyone came to congratulate him and praised him with pride.

But he knew that as soon as Lin Sanrong came back, his glory would soon disappear.

And the bet they made before, it hurts to think about it.

……

The next day, everyone in the village knew about Lin Sanrong's return.

The village head made a special trip to the Lin family to inquire about the news.

"Changlu, I heard that your Sanrong and the others are back?"

When Lin Dabao came back, when they asked how Lin Sanrong did in the exam, he never mentioned it. Everyone in the village thought that Lin Sanrong didn't pass the exam, and the village chief didn't give up. In his heart, Lin Sanrong was better than Lin Dabao.

"I came back late last night, and I'm still catching up on sleep now!"

"That's why I should sleep more. I wonder what the result of Sanrong's government examination is?"

Lin Changlu straightened his back and said proudly: "Village Chief, Sanrong lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the No. 2 government examination."

"really!"

"The village chief, how can I tell a lie? Sanrong and the others said it themselves, and even copied down the ranking of the list at that time. Although I don't know a few words, I still know the name of my family, Sanrong."

When the village chief heard this, he clapped his hands excitedly.

"Wow! The kid Sanrong is too promising. This is a big deal in our village. It's not easy to be admitted to Tongsheng. It's never been No. 2 on the list. I'm going to tell everyone the good news. Prepare a few tables for Sanrong to celebrate."

"Village Chief, it's too expensive, let's forget it, we will prepare it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

"It's necessary, so don't worry about it, just leave it to me, and you can bring Sanrong to the ancestral hall in the village later."

After finishing speaking, the village chief went to the entrance of the village cheerfully with his hands behind his back. As the village chief, he was honored to have someone admitted to Tongsheng.

Soon the story spread throughout the village.

"The Lin family's ancestral grave is smoked, and two children were born at once. It's really hard to say."

"San Rong is really good. He won the second place in the exam without showing any signs of mountains or water. Lin Dabao usually looks like his eyes are above his head. Even though he got into Tongsheng, he still can't surpass his uncle."
