Reborn Ugly Girl Farming to Support the Family

Early in the morning on the day of the exam, Zhou Chunfeng asked Zheng Qingming again and again whether he had brought all his belongings.

Zheng Xiaoman also got up early and prepared various foods for her brother.

Although the old couple didn't say anything, their eyes never left their eldest grandson.

After breakfast, the family sent three more people to the examination room. Only after they entered the examination room did they reluctantly drive home.

The college entrance examination lasts for three days and is divided into two parts: the main test and the re-examination.

During these three days, the family was very cautious and did not dare to make too much noise, just so that the few people could read quietly.

Jiang Tai and Kong Yang were visibly nervous and rushed home to read the books.

Zheng Qingming's mentality was much better than the other two. He stopped reading books during the days before the exams, but just took out the articles that had been corrected by the teacher and read them carefully.

The three-day exam passed quickly and the whole family finally relaxed.

The results of the college entrance examination will be available three days after the exam, so they were not in a hurry to return to the village. They wanted to wait until they saw the results before going back.

In fact, they don't have to stay here to watch, because after they pass the examination, someone will come to their house to tell them the good news.

During these three days, everyone walked around and played in the city. Old Lady Zheng and Zhou Chunfeng heard that there was a very powerful temple not far outside the city, so they went to the temple to burn incense.

On the third day, Zheng Dashan took Tietou to the gate of Gongyuan early in the morning to wait.

When the time came, a yamen runner took red paper and pasted it outside the Imperial Examination Hall.

"Tietou, hurry up, go in and see if there is Qingming in our house."

Zheng Dashan looked at the increasingly crowded crowd and hurriedly said to Tietou.

Tietou was quite skilled. After he responded, he moved left and right and in no time he was at the front of the crowd.

He started reading from the first name on the red list, and just as he reached the ninth name, he saw Zheng Qingming's name.

Tietou was extremely excited, but at least he remembered that there were two more people he wanted to watch.

But he read from beginning to end and didn't see the names of the other two people.

He looked carefully twice more, and only after making sure that there was nothing there did he squeeze out of the crowd with great effort.

"Master, Master, our eldest son won the ninth place."

Zheng Dashan clenched his fists excitedly, "Okay, okay, hahahahahahaha."

He laughed so loudly that everyone around him looked at him.

Zheng Dashan couldn't care less at this moment, "Let's go home."

Tietou quickly got on the carriage and drove home.

On the way, Zheng Dashan suddenly remembered to ask Kong Yang and the others about their grades.

"Master, only the eldest son passed the exam this time."

Zheng Dashan nodded and put away the smile on his face.

But the upturned corners of his mouth could not be suppressed no matter what.

They drove back to the yard, and Old Man Zheng and the others were all waiting at the door.

Seeing them coming back, Old Man Zheng hurriedly asked, "How was it, did you pass the exam?"

Zheng Dashan nodded, "Dad, we passed the exam on Qingming, and ranked ninth."

Old man Zheng felt like the breath he had been holding in his throat had finally been let out and tears almost burst out.

"Oh, my eldest grandson really passed the exam. Our Zheng family has also produced a scholar."

"Uncle, what about us? Have you helped to check our grades?"

Kong Yang asked nervously.

Zheng Dashan tried hard to suppress the smile on his face and shook his head, "I asked Tietou to check, but your names were not on the list.

Don't be discouraged, kid, we can just take the test next time."

Kong Yang and Jiang Tai both slumped their shoulders in disappointment. Sure enough, they still couldn't do it this time.

In fact, before coming this time, they had asked Mr. Fang whether they could pass the examination to become a scholar.

What Mr. Fang said originally was that if all the questions asked by the examiner are ones you have done before, then there is still some hope; as for the rest, don't even think about it.

They just didn't want to give up and insisted on giving it a try.

Well, it turns out that they really haven't learned enough.

The two of them were mentally prepared, so after a moment of disappointment they recovered.

If it doesn’t work this time, try again next time. They are still young anyway.

The two of them quickly congratulated Zheng Qingming and congratulated him on passing the examination and becoming a scholar.

After a while, someone came to the house to report the good news.

"Congratulations to Mr. Zheng's son for passing the exam. Great news."

The neighbors heard the noise and came out to see what was going on. Only then did they realize that the child next door had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.

Zheng Dashan smiled and gave a red envelope to the person who came to report the news, and then asked Tietou to light the firecrackers he had bought on the way back.

The sound of firecrackers popped in the alley, and many children ran out with smiles to join in the fun.

After the firecrackers were finished, the neighbors came over to congratulate them.

Fortunately, Zhou Chunfeng had made preparations yesterday and gave out a lot of red envelopes.

In a short while, all the red envelopes in my hand were given out.

Old Man Zheng smiled and said, "Let's pack up and go back to the village early tomorrow morning. This time we're going to have a three-day buffet."

Zheng Dashan nodded and said, "Well, Chunfeng and I will go out to buy some food and wine this afternoon for the feast."

Zheng Xiaoman was also very happy because her brother was now a scholar.

She handed him a wolf-hair brush she had bought and said, "Brother, congratulations on passing the exam. This is my gift to you."

Zheng Qingming happily took the brush and said, "Oh, this is the wolf-hair brush from Baorongzhai, right? This brush costs ten taels of silver, right?"

"Hey, yes, brother, you have a very good eye. You can tell where this brush is from at a glance."

Zheng Qingming touched the brush in his hand and said, "I went to buy paper from them before and saw this brush. But the price was too expensive, so I just took a look.

Thank you Xiaoman for your gift, I like it very much. "

Zheng Xiaoman smiled with his eyes curved, "As long as you like it, brother."

They also cooked a table of delicious food in the evening. Everyone had a good meal and set off back to the village early the next morning.

But before Zheng Xiaoman got on the carriage, his eldest cousin Zhou Lai De came over.

Lai De first greeted everyone, then with a somewhat anxious look on his face, he pulled Zheng Xiaoman aside to talk.

"Xiao Man, something happened in the shop."

He told Zheng Xiaoman what happened, and Zheng Xiaoman frowned.

"Cousin, wait for me. I'll go talk to my parents, and then I'll go check out the shop with you."

"Hey, good."

Zheng Xiaoman came back and said to Zheng Dashan, "Dad, you guys go back to the village first. I still have some things to deal with in my shop. I'll go back after I finish here."

Zheng Dashan was a little worried, "Can you stay here by yourself? Or I can stay and wait for you."

Zheng Xiaoman shook his head. "No need, Dad. You still have to prepare a banquet for my brother when you go back. Besides, this is not the first time I come to the city by myself. My cousin is here too. What can happen to me?"

Zheng Qingming frowned, "My business is not urgent, why don't we wait here for you to go back together?"

Zheng Xiaoman waved his hand quickly, "No need, brother. I'm really fine. Why don't you leave Uncle Tietou here, and we can go back together later."
