Chapter 224 The Children's Exam Begins

People from Chenjia Village and Xujia Village who got monthly money took their children with them in the afternoon.I'm going to buy some things, and I'll wait two months.When they returned to the village, they took them back with them.It's a New Year's gift, so they don't have to go into the town to buy things.

"Father, mother, are we really going shopping?" A child asked with his father, there are also husband and wife who come here to work.The old man in the family took care of the children at home, because it was Chen Fu who went there.Some too poor families also let women come out.Some are too poor, and there is no support for their families.There are also women who come out to work, and they do some simple jobs.

"Go, how are you doing in school? If you do well, I'll buy you something too." The woman looked at the child with a happy expression. It had been a long time since they had such an expression.When they are so poor that they don't even have enough food to eat, there will still be happy expressions there.Now the husband and wife have more than 300 Wen, which is more than their annual income.It is not bad for their family to have one hundred Wen a year.Xujia Village has always been the poorest among these nearby villages.

"I've studied well. My husband said that I have a chance to be a scholar. If you don't believe me, you can ask my husband." The child looked at his parents very proudly.

"Really? Let's go and buy you something." The man immediately said more happily when he heard that.When the woman heard her child's words, she was also very happy and dragged him into the shop.

"Father, mother, can I buy something for my younger siblings?" At this moment, the little boy asked them cautiously.

The two looked at their son with relief, "Yes, buy them all." The woman said a little excitedly.

"Outside, what are you doing?" The man looked at the woman with some dissatisfaction and began to wipe away his tears.

"It's okay, I'm happy." The woman quickly wiped away her tears, and the man didn't say anything.Isn't he a little excited, but he doesn't cry so easily like a woman.This kind of life in their family was something they never dared to imagine before.

At this time, few people from Xujiacun and Chenjiacun came out.They all came in groups, and they originally came from a village.Moreover, the people of the two villages are now like the people of the same village.Everyone talked and laughed and came to the store here to buy things.

When I first went in, the guy saw that they were dressed reasonably well.At least, they are wearing cotton clothes now.These are better clothes than ordinary farmers.When the man saw so many people coming in, he hurried up to meet them.These people saw that they were really here to buy things, so they quickly and enthusiastically introduced the things in the store to these people.

three days later

Xiang Chen took all the things, and went directly to the Yamen with Kong You and the others.Xiang Chen said that he didn't want to be treated differently, so he didn't let Kong Gu and them get close.As long as he and Shangguan Xing passed by, Wang Xiao really gave him a lot of advice here.Wang Xiao didn't expect that Xiang Chen would go to the Tongsheng examination just like that.In their previous village, there was only one child born in so many years.None of them produced a scholar, but Xiang Chen wanted to test for a scholar.

After Shangguan Xing sent Xiang Chen in, he went to find Kong Ju and the others who were waiting outside.They found a nearby teahouse and sat there waiting.There are quite a few people waiting here, but not many are willing to drink tea in this teahouse.Don't look at drinking tea, this is not cheap.

"Don't worry, Chen'er will definitely pass the exam." Wang Xiao looked at Shangguan Xing and said comfortingly.

"Well, I know my husband will definitely win." Shangguan Xing replied affirmatively.

"With me here, he will win if he doesn't hit." Kong You took a sip from the teacup indifferently, it was really not good.Then let it go again.

"Husband relies on his own ability, not your relationship." Shangguan Xing looked at Kong You dissatisfied.

"That's right, Xiang Chen relies on her own ability." Xiang Bao tugged Kong You's sleeve.

Kong You looked at Xiang Bao speechlessly, and the way the other people looked at him was not quite right.He didn't want to say any more, so he could only shut up.However, Xiang Chen's did have some strength.I heard from Ma Nanping yesterday that the article written by Xiang Chen is still acceptable.

One morning is enough for the children's examination, unlike the rural examination which takes one day.The time to take the Juren examination was even longer, and Xiang Chen knew about it.The thought of sitting in a cubicle for three days would really drive him crazy.He couldn't bear it, so it was enough for him to be a scholar, and he would not take the exam if he was beaten to death.

Shangguan Xing and the others had been waiting there nervously for a long time, and it was noon.Xiang Chen came out of the examination team, after Shangguan Xing saw Xiang Chen.He ran up quickly, but Kong You didn't come over either.Only Wang Xiao and the others came over and rushed to meet them.

"How is it?" Shangguan Xing looked at Xiang Chen nervously.

"No problem, let's go eat. The exam is really exhausting, I'm hungry." Xiang Chen said a little depressed, he was really hungry.He got up too early in the morning, and he didn't even have an appetite to eat.This meeting will make me hungry.

"Okay, Huan Niang has already prepared the meal. Let's go back and eat now." Shangguan Xing said quickly, and Wang Xiao and the others also said quickly.Then they called Kong You, and the group of them went back to Xiangzhai directly.

Ma Nanping watched Xiang Chen come back from the door, and Li Siqi and the big man were beside him.

Kong You looked at Li Siqi with an unfriendly expression, this person really doesn't have a long memory.

"How is it?" Ma Nanping asked Xiang Chen calmly. He felt that Xiang Chen's level should be fine.

"There shouldn't be any problem." Xiang Chen felt that there was nothing wrong with the article, and he felt that his answer was pretty good.Moreover, he felt that the examiner knew him a little bit.He knew that he would definitely pass.However, he is serious about writing articles.

"The article you wrote was originally a child's life, so there is no problem." Ma Nanping nodded.

"Since everyone is here, let's have a meal together." Xiang Chen looked at these people, if this Li Siqi didn't show up.In fact, Xiang Chen almost forgot about this person.This person is real, he came to check his presence when they were about to forget, Xiang Chen glanced at the big man next to him and didn't say anything.

"What are you doing next?" Kong You looked at Li Siqi and followed him in.

"If I don't show up again, you will forget about me. I won't show up in front of you, don't worry. I'm not here to chase you, I despise you." Li Siqi looked at Kong You very directly. Said.

"Since you're here, let's all come in." Wang Xiao glanced at Li Siqi and said, he felt that if this person really helped Kong You.Come and come, as long as it doesn't affect the relationship between his son and Kong You.

Then the whole group went to the dining hall.Kong Ling looked at so many people with some dissatisfaction, now it's over.With so many people, he must eat a lot less.

Xiang Chen watched as Huan Niang made three big pot dishes and several big plates of pancakes today.I haven't eaten this for several days, and I can't eat the same thing every day.

The group of people started to eat after sitting down. In fact, they had never eaten these things.Especially Ma Nanping and Li Siqi, both of whom are from Jiangnan.

"This dish is not bad." Ma Nanping said sincerely after taking a few bites.He generally pays attention to not talking when eating and not talking when sleeping.If it wasn't really good, I wouldn't say it.After they came here, the food tasted very good.Good stuff they haven't had anywhere else.

"Is this the food you made yourself?" Xia Fei remembered that Huan Niang said that the unfamiliar meals were made by his family from the young master.They don't know these things either.

"I just know some seasonings, Huan Niang cooks them. Of course I don't know how to cook." Xiang Chen is telling the truth, he has eaten a lot of food.Because I make soy sauce myself, I have a certain understanding of some seasonings.Therefore, he knows what kind of seasonings are probably put in this dish, but let them tell Huan Niang exactly what process is used to make this dish.He really didn't know, and he never thought about learning this thing.

"You know a lot." Xia Fei's tone was different from Kong You's when he said this. Xia Fei really admired Xiang Chen's tone.However, every time Kong You said this.All sarcasm.

"My husband is amazing, and he knows a lot." Shangguan Xing looked at Xia Fei and the others with some complacency.

"Well, it tastes better than what I ate at Li's. Although, I haven't eaten too many delicacies from mountains and seas. But I think yours is much more delicious than those delicacies from mountains and seas." Li Siqi was also very emotional at this time Said.

Kong You looked at whether these people all came together to praise Xiang Chen, Kong You's expression became more and more bad.Looking at Kong You's expression, Xiang Bao couldn't comfort him now.This guy seems to like to fight against Xiang Chen, and he feels uncomfortable when he sees others praise Xiang Chen.

Kong Ling hurriedly ate more while they were talking.Otherwise, he will definitely not be full again in a while.There are not many things in the first place, but so many people share them.

"I wish you the name of your high school." Ma Nanping picked up the teacup next to him and said to Xiang Chen.

"It's just a child, not a juren. Is it worth celebrating?" Kong You looked at Ma Nanping with disdain and said.

"What happened to Tong Sheng? There are still many people who fail the exam." Shangguan Xing looked at Kong You dissatisfied.

"That's right, cousin. Don't look down on Tong Sheng, you are a talented scholar, don't you pass the exam one by one?" Li Siqi looked at Kong You deflated, but was very happy.A feeling of wanting to step on it again.
