Soon it would be the admissions exam, which was not difficult for Ye Liwen. It only took one day and he successfully completed it.

Ye Hongchang was waiting for him outside. He had already bought the things that the villagers needed. When he saw him, Ye Hongchang smiled and said, "Get in the car. I must have cooked food at home. Are you hungry?"

Ye Liwen smiled and said, "I'm really hungry."

Ye Hongchang didn't ask Ye Liwen how he did in the exam along the way. When he got home, the food was already on the table.

Mrs. Wang arranged for people to make steamed meat. The prey that Ye Hongchang brought back from hunting were chickens, sheep, and rabbits. Sometimes, if they couldn't eat them, they would be made into bacon. When they were eaten, they would be steamed in a pot. They were very delicious.

It was quite troublesome to have a table of both meat and vegetable dishes. It was obvious that we had been busy for a long time.

When he got home, no one asked Ye Liwen how he did in the exam. They all invited him to the table for dinner, and the whole family was happy.

He usually talks little, and he didn't speak much today.

When he went back to his room after dinner, Mrs. Li said, "Mom, did Brother Wen do poorly in the exam?"

Wang said, "The results haven't come out yet, and no one can say for sure, but let's not mention it at home, so as not to make Brother Wen uncomfortable."

Everyone kept it in mind, thinking that it didn't matter if they didn't do well in the exam. It was inevitable that they would be rusty after not studying for such a long time.

There are other academies in town, so it doesn't mean we have no choice.

The results of the admissions exam would not be available until three days later. The next day, Ye Liwen changed into old clothes and went to work in the fields with Ye Hongfu.

This was so good that even Ye Xiangxiang thought that he had failed the exam and was in a low mood, so he was ready to put down his books and work on the land with peace of mind.

The family didn't say anything, thinking that he might be in a bad mood.

On February 14th, someone from the village came to report the news, and after asking for directions along the way, they found the Ye family.

The person who came turned out to be the boy who was the concierge that day, and he laughed when he saw him.

"Congratulations, Ye Langjun, you passed the exam at our Hanchen Academy, and you still ranked first."

After he finished speaking, everyone in the Ye family yard was stunned.

In the past few days, they had decided in their hearts that Ye Liwen had not done well in the exam, and they were still thinking about how to comfort him.

Who knows what is going on when this person says he is number one?

Ye Liwen said, "Really?"

He wasn't that surprised, which meant that he already knew what he was doing, but he just didn't show it in the past few days.

The boy smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I knew Ye Langjun was definitely not an ordinary person."

Ye Liwen smiled modestly, and then the others came back to their senses.

Wang immediately said, "Hurry, hurry, this little guy came here to report the news. Please come in and sit down."

The boy quickly waved his hand, "No, no, I live not far away. I know that Ye Langjun lives in Xiema Village and happens to be going home, so I came over and said that the rankings will be posted outside the academy tomorrow. You can just go and see them then." "

He refused to enter the house no matter what, and even hid outside the yard for fear that others would think he was here to extort money.

Ms. Li hurriedly went to see her off, and Ms. Wang said, "Brother Wen, you did well in the exam, so why have you been so depressed these days? Grandma thought you didn't do well in the exam."

Ye Liwen was confused, "Grandma, I'm not depressed."

Mrs. Wang smiled. This grandson usually talked little, but it just happened to be an exam, so they thought he didn't do well in the exam.

Ye Liwen said, "It's just that there are too many variables in the exam. I was afraid that something would go wrong, so I didn't tell you how I did in the exam after I came back. In fact, I am still confident."

Mrs. Wang was very happy, "Good boy, this is such a happy event. We have to celebrate you." Ye Liwen said hurriedly, "That's no need. I just got into the academy and didn't get the honors. Wait for me It’s never too late to celebrate when you have achieved fame.”

"We will celebrate when the time comes. Everyone is different. Of course you should be happy when there is a happy event." Mrs. Wang hurriedly went to make preparations.

The meal in the evening was particularly rich. I have been working hard in the fields recently, so it was time for a good meal.

Wang was so happy that she said she would send Ye Lixuan to the academy in two years.

He was eating with his head down, but when he heard this, he immediately raised his head.

"Grandma, I won't go. I'll just let my elder brother teach me how to read. How boring it is in the academy!"

Wang said, "This child still has the same temperament. He gets very anxious when he hears that he wants to study. Don't worry, grandma won't force you to go if you don't want to go."

Ye Lixuan patted his chest like a young adult, "It's okay, it scared me to death."

This childish look made the whole family laugh and enjoy themselves.

After dinner, Mrs. Wang also talked to Mrs. Liu for a while.

"Brother Xuan doesn't want to go to school, and I don't want to force him. Maybe it will be better in the future. Now he likes to go to the mountains and rivers. The more he is forced, the less he wants to go to school."

Mrs. Liu knew what she wanted to say and smiled, "Mom, I know you are worried about my random thoughts. Don't worry, I won't. I only have two children, Xiangxiang and Brother Xuan. The most important thing is that they live happily. , these two children have not been raised crookedly, I am already very satisfied."

Wang said, "After all, the second child has the greatest contribution to the family's ability to live well. It also costs a lot of money for Brother Wen to go to school. I'm always afraid that the family will be unhappy because of this."

"I don't know how." Mrs. Liu said, "I know in my heart what kind of people should do what kind of things. Brother Wen should go to school. If he gets better in the future, our whole family will follow suit. Mom, I don't So petty."

Wang patted her hand, feeling much more at ease, "Good boy."

She was afraid that if only Brother Wen went to study, the second daughter-in-law would feel uncomfortable. If this made the family unhappy, that was not what she wanted to see.

Fortunately, Madam Liu is a sensible person, especially after almost losing her daughter, Madam Liu has seen things more clearly.

Of all the good things, living is the best.

Now that she sees her two children happy, healthy and safe every day, she has nothing more to ask for.

Mrs. Liu was afraid that Ye Hongchang was also worried about her, so when she returned to the house at night, she told Ye Hongchang about letting Ye Liwen study.

"With so many people in the family, how can we provide a scholar? Brother Wen is smart. We should pave the way for him and not let him worry about the situation at home."

Ye Hongchang was very moved, "Daughter-in-law, with you here, I have nothing to fear."

After saying that, he leaned over and kissed her on the face.

Madam Liu smiled shyly, "What are you doing here, an old couple?"

Ye Hongchang said, "Old couples should also stay close to each other, and they should stay close to each other throughout their lives."

The next day, Ye Hongchang rode to town to see the list, which was posted at the entrance of Hanchen Academy.

Ye Liwen's name indeed appeared at the top of the list.

Ye Hongchang was so happy that he confirmed the school's start time and hurriedly bought a set of school supplies for Ye Liwen.

I bought medium-priced pens, inks and papers, and spent nearly two taels of silver.

Studying is really expensive.
