Chapter 115 Exam
"Okay, then we'll wait for the old man to treat us to dinner!"

"Yeah yeah!"

After everyone had finished leaving, Old Man Lin asked, "Is it okay to put these fruit seedlings here?"

The old man said: "Okay, I'll ask Bai Lang to come over and watch later at night."

Old Man Lin said: "Can they do it?"

"Of course they can. Let them see things not once or twice, so don't worry!"

Seeing that I was so sure, Old Man Lin felt a little relieved and followed the Xu family back, leaving only the two white wolves, Xiao Ba, watching here.

Xiaoba was willing to stay outside, which surprised Qibao. Normally, this guy wouldn't even go out. There were already several dogs in the village who were pursuing him and often came to him, but Xiaoba just didn't want to interact with them. Lazy and sleeping at home.

The other dogs in the village took advantage of the opportunity tonight and came with them. However, Xiaoba stayed by Bai Lang's side, and the other dogs did not dare to come forward. They could only lie on the ground from a distance and look here. .

Everyone was very tired tonight, so they cooked some potato flour for dinner to satisfy their stomachs, packed up and went to bed before falling asleep.

Early in the morning, the workers came to work on time, and people from the village who came to help plant fruit seedlings also came.

It was the beginning of another busy day, and the foot of Daqing Mountain was bustling with activity. Children from the village also came to join in the fun, and there were sounds of playing and playing everywhere.

Qibao looked at these children in the village, and an idea gradually grew in his mind, but he had to think about it in the long run.

When all the fruit seedlings were planted, the Xu family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally poured some spiritual spring water to finish the work.

Looking at the originally empty ground, but now it was full of fruit seedlings, I couldn't help but feel so happy. It would all be money from now on.

After two days, the foundation of the workshop has been dug, and the walls can be built tomorrow, which is one step closer to success.

It was Old Man Lin's first time managing, so he paid great attention to every little thing. Although he didn't need to do any physical work, he worried more than others.

Qibao was very satisfied. Details determine success or failure. Grandpa's personality is suitable for management. After getting to know him better, he will definitely do better, so she felt relieved.

.........

Until April, the Xu family workshop was still in full swing. During this period, shopkeepers Hong and Tong also visited the Xu family.

Shopkeeper Hong is here to give away the money for the pills. In the past few months, the Xu family has made tens of thousands taels of income just from the pills. In addition to the barbecue restaurant and greenhouse vegetables, the Xu family has an annual income of nearly 20 taels. Silver, this is a lot of money.

Today, my brother and the others are back because he is going to take the child examination, and other students from the college have also signed up to take part. The village chief's grandson Shitou signed up.

The college also took a three-day holiday to allow the students who were going to take the exam to come back and prepare well. This year's child student exam will be held in Huamen Town, and will be invigilated by the local parent officer and two officials sent from above.

In the past two days, Mrs. Wang has cooked a lot of delicious food for her eldest brother, because he spends a lot of time studying every day, which is very taxing on his brain. Sometimes Shitou from the village chief's house will come over to discuss academic matters with his eldest brother. question.

The other brothers also know that they cannot disturb the eldest brother at this time, and they all make less noise while working and talking at home.

Until the afternoon before the exam, the old man personally took his eldest grandson and Qibao to the town, with Uncle Xu driving a carriage.

When they arrived at the house in the town, they settled in advance, because the examination for children and students only took one day, so Xu's family didn't worry.

Early the next morning, the old man got up early and took them out for breakfast. Qibao also specially brought a bamboo tube to the eldest brother to mix the spiritual spring water. It looked just like ordinary water. Everything the candidates brought needed to be prepared. Once you check and make sure there is nothing wrong, you can enter the examination room.

The examination room is in a large courtyard dedicated to examinations next to the Yamen.

When Qibao, his grandfather and uncle arrived at the entrance of the examination room, they were already surrounded by people, all of whom came to take their children to take the examination.It's not time yet, and all I hear are the voices of parents telling their children to take exams well and bring glory to our family...

Qibao did not agree with saying this at this time. Saying this at this time would undoubtedly add pressure to the already nervous candidates.

"Brother, are you here too?" Suddenly a voice came from behind.

The old man turned around and saw that the village chief was greeting them behind him with a stone.

"Yes, today is such an important day, of course I have to come!"

"Your family will definitely pass the civil and military exams. I often hear Shitou say that civil and military students are highly regarded by the master in the academy. I will definitely do well this time!" said the village chief.

"Okay, I hope my Wenwu family and your Shitou family can get good results in the exam!"

Xu Wenwu said: "Grandpa, uncle of the village chief, I saw the master from the college. I have to go over to meet the master now, otherwise the master will be worried when he sees that everyone is missing."

"Let's go together!" Shitou said.

"Okay, you go quickly, don't be too stressed, grandpa is waiting for you outside!"

Xu Wenwu and Shitou nodded and headed in the direction of their master.

After a while, candidates began to line up to enter the examination room. Two officers stood at the door. Each candidate's belongings had to be opened and inspected one by one, and they also had to search themselves.

Qibao thought, no wonder he came so early in the morning!It takes a lot of time to check so many candidates one by one!
After all the candidates had finished checking, the door to the examination room was closed as soon as the time came, leaving a group of parents waiting outside.

At noon, I had a quick lunch at a small stall next to the examination room.

It was not until late afternoon that the door to the examination room opened and candidates came out one after another.

Some had smiles on their faces, while others were a little depressed. When Qibao saw his eldest brother, he didn't have any extra expression on his face, and he didn't know whether his test was good or bad.

The old man also saw his eldest grandson coming out and quickly stepped forward and asked, "How is it?"

Xu Wenwu smiled lightly and said, "There should be no problem."

When Uncle Xu heard this, he immediately became happy, patted his son on the shoulder and said, "That's right, as long as you work hard, let's wait for the results to be announced!"

At this time, the master of the college also came over, and the Xu family gave the master a respectful clasped fist salute.

This Master is the Master Sun who sent the children to school to receive them.

Master Sun also knew the Xu family, so he signaled that there was no need to be polite and asked with a smile: "Wen Wu, I wonder if you have a strong grasp this time?"

Xu Wenwu said: "It's not a big problem. Students can basically answer the questions on today's test!"

The master touched his short beard and nodded: "Well, yes, the dean is very optimistic about you. We all see your usual performance. I am already very optimistic about your results this time, so you don't need to be modest!"

At this time, other candidates from Spring and Autumn College also came out. This time, the college took a total of about ten students, and the others were candidates from other counties.

The old man said: "If you don't mind, Master, I will be your host today and invite Master and my fellow civil and military students to go to the Iron Triangle to have barbecue together. How about that?"
