Chapter 98
Soon the day came when Su Sheng was going to take the exam in the county seat. There were three people going to take the exam this time, and the other two were junior members of the Yu family. However, the people in Yujia Village were not enthusiastic about their children taking the imperial examination, so they sent One of the reasons why your children go to a clan school is to prevent them from becoming blind. Those who are literate will have an easier time finding work outside. The other reason is to save face. Everyone sends their children to school, but your family doesn’t. Going there is not a joke.

As for the imperial examination, one is time-consuming and expensive, and the other is because Yu Zheng’s father, Yu Huai, was once in the village and was praised by everyone wherever he went. However, after only two years as an official in Beijing, he changed. Everyone who wants to be an official is like Yu Zheng's father. It doesn't matter if the official is inappropriate, but the Su family doesn't know these things.

After sending people away, the Su family should do whatever they want, just like Su Sheng still went to the family school to study.Su Yu felt that if his brother had no problems, he would definitely be able to pass the county examination.

The county seat is not far from Yujia Village, only half a day's journey. It's better to go there by ox cart. It would be faster if you take a horse carriage, and you'll be there in about an hour.Su Sheng and the others went to take the exam today and the next day. It would take seven days to go back and forth. After the exam, they did not stay in the county and went directly back to the village. As for whether they could pass the exam, if they passed the county by then, Notice will be posted here.

When Su Sheng returned home, he slept for a whole day before recovering.Su Yu felt that her eldest brother should make up for it, so the Su family's food was very good these two days. Every meal was stewed with a chicken. Everyone shared the chicken, and all the stewed chicken soup was given to Su Sheng.

"Brother, eat more, you have lost a lot of weight after going out for a few days."

At the dinner table, Su Yu put a chicken leg into Su Sheng's bowl, and the Erhu squatting on the side kept following the chicken leg. Unexpectedly, the chicken leg it liked went into someone else's bowl, and its ears pulled down , looking at Su Yu resentfully.

Su Yu got annoyed, picked up another chicken leg and threw it into Erhu's dog bowl.

"Eat, eat, you know how to eat in one day, look how fat you have become."

Erhu lowered his head and gnawed on the chicken leg, not caring what the owner said.

Since being robbed last year, Erhu's status in the Su family has made a qualitative leap. Whether it is the Su family or a few servants, he is always nice to him, especially Wang Gang, who looks at Erhu as if he is a treasure. Yes, anything delicious should be kept close to Erhu first.With the family feeding him, Erhu grew taller and taller, tending to develop into a pig. Su Yu saw that it was okay and doubled Erhu's daily training. Erhu was speechless.

No one in the Su family, from the master to the servants, dared to say anything. Although the girl was young, her cold face made Su Laoer a little frightened when she saw it, and others did not dare to say anything more.

A few days after the exam, a list was posted in the county seat. Su Sheng passed the exam and I heard from Yu Xiucai, and the other two juniors from the Yu family also passed.There is a lot to prepare for this time. The exam has to be spent overnight in the exam room. For three consecutive days, you are not allowed to leave the exam room within three days.As soon as the rankings were released in the county seat, Su Sheng prepared to go to Fucheng.

This time Yu Xiucai didn't go with him, Su Sheng and Wang Gang drove their own ox cart, and they returned after five days.

A few days later, two official servants rode to the entrance of the village. Everyone in the village knew that today was the day when the results were released. Someone from the other two families was guarding the entrance of the village every day. Today, when they saw official officials coming to the door, both families were overjoyed. Could it be that she The eldest grandson passed the exam.Seeing the official reining in his horse, the old ladies from the two families immediately came to greet him.

"Which house are you two going to?"

"We're going to Su Sheng and Su Tongsheng's house."

I heard that the eldest son of the Su family passed the examination as a child student.

"Master, did my eldest grandson Yu Cheng pass the exam?"

"And my grandson Yu Fang, did he pass the exam?"

"We are only responsible for informing Su Tongsheng. The other people in Yujia Village are not under our control. Do you know where Su Tongsheng's home is? Don't delay our efforts. We will go to the next home later."

"I know, it's at the end of the village, the one with the blue brick and big tile house is the Su family."

The two officials didn't delay, and hurried to Su's house on horseback.

When they arrived at the door of Su's house, the door of Su's courtyard was open, but no one from the Su family was there at the moment.

"Is anyone home?"

An officer dismounted and shouted forward. As soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow came out of the yard. Both of them were startled. After seeing clearly that it was a dog, the two of them were a little nervous. The dog was really big. , and the well-developed muscles on his body were not easy to mess with at first sight, so neither of them dared to step forward.

The village has been harvesting wheat for the past few days, and the Su family is no exception. At this moment, Su Sheng and others are all in the field. Some villagers in the village saw the official sent to the direction of the Su family, so they knew that they must go to the Su family. If there is such a good thing, immediately come to the field to look for the Su family.

"Second brother, two men have gone to your house. You should go back and take a look."

"Some officials came to my house."

Su Lao Er put down the sickle in his hand as he spoke, and reached the field ridge in two or three steps.

"Wang Gang, come back with me and have a look."

After shouting, the two left without looking back. Su Yu thought about it and followed, while the rest of the family continued to do their work.Seeing that her father and daughter have gone back, Lian's going back won't do much good, so let's cut the wheat as soon as possible. The weather is not very good today, and I'm afraid it will rain in a few days. There are still several acres of wheat at home. finished cutting.

The Su family's field was not far from the Su family, and it took them a short time to arrive. When they arrived, Yang Ermei was leading Doudou at the gate of the courtyard, talking to the officials, and did not lead anyone in. She is not from the Su family and cannot be the master.

"Mom, Grandpa Su is back."

Doudou's sharp eyes saw several people at once.

Yang Ermei looked up the path, and sure enough, she saw the father and daughter of the Su family approaching, with joy on her face.

"Uncle Su, you guys are back. This is a great joy. Brother Sheng has passed the Tongsheng exam. These two are the messengers who came to inform you."

"Brother Sheng passed the exam!"

Su Lao Er was completely shocked. How could his son pass the Tongsheng exam?

Su Yu reacted quickly. Hearing that his elder brother had passed the Tongsheng exam, he smiled.

"You two gentlemen have been kept waiting for a long time. Let's go home and have a sip of hot tea."

Su Yu's head has been rising since she was detoxified. She will be thirteen in two months, but if no one knows her age, no one will doubt her if she is fourteen or fifteen. Xingyang The folk customs here in the government are relatively open, and Su stood up to speak on behalf of his father. The two officials were so poor that they didn't think it was a big deal. The most important thing was that Su Lao Er looked like him and couldn't speak well now.

"The hot tea is gone, we have to go to the next one."

"There is a happy event at home, and the poor man has worked hard all the way, so he will also enjoy some happiness."

As Su Yu spoke, he stepped forward and gave each of them a purse.

The two officials did not refuse. They collected their wallets, said congratulations and left.After leaving the village, the two of them took out their purses and took a look. There were some small silver barley seeds inside, and they thought there was something wrong with the Su family.

The purse was prepared by Su Yu two days ago. After hearing what his elder brother said about the article he wrote in the examination room, a child must be stable, so he was ready to place the purse.She didn't know how many people would come, so she prepared five or six such purses.
