struggle in ancient times

On the day of the exam, Liao Tingyu also went as his teacher. He had just arrived at the door and saw two worried old fathers who were seeing him off all the way.

"Master, why are you here too?" Yang Wenhao saw the person approaching with sharp eyes, and ran to Liao Tingyu's side in great surprise.

Zhang Dewu also ran over after him.

"I'm worried about you. After all, it's your first exam. Let me come and cheer you up!" Liao Tingyu rubbed his two little furry heads, "Take the exam seriously, think about it before writing the questions. , Write slowly, write better, understand?"

"Don't worry, master, we won't let you down." Yang Wenhao and Zhang Dewu patted their chests assuredly.

"Well, Master believes in you. With your strength, as long as you take the test seriously and finish the questions, you will surely succeed."

Encouraged by his master, the two children were full of confidence. Liao Tingyu continued to instruct: "If you encounter a question that you don't know how to do, just leave it there, and then go back and fill it in when you have time."

"We know, Master."

As the bell rang to enter the examination room.The two invisible people who stayed quietly waved goodbye to the two children, and Liao Tingyu walked in front of the two fathers who looked like husband stones.

"Don't stand here and watch, it can't solve the problem. These things are up to them. Don't worry, there is no big problem. If they perform well, you can wait for good news."

"We also know and believe that the master's ability is unique. The only thing that can be blamed is that we two are worried as fathers."

"That's true. When I took the exam, my father and mother were also like this. They are all parents. The future of their children is more important than their own lives." Liao Tingyu said very understandingly.

Yang Shu smiled awkwardly, this is different, how to do it in front of the master is different from what the master does by himself.

Tong Sheng passed the exam after only one day, and the children were fine. Seeing the two children coming out happily, I knew that the exam was quite good.

As soon as Zhang Dewu went out, he happily ran to his father.

Zhang Yi hurriedly asked: "How is it? How did your son do in the exam? How do you feel?"

"Father, this exam is easy. I believe I will pass this exam. The content of the exam is what the master taught us, and it is also the questions we have done." Zhang Dewu said confidently.

The other child also nodded happily.

"We've all done that, but the lunch there isn't good."

"Stinky boy, you still want to eat delicious food when you go in for the exam, do you think you are in a restaurant?"

"But what he gave us were dry steamed buns. I listened to my master and forced myself to eat a few bites. I'm so hungry now!"

Zhang Dewu also nodded in agreement, he was also very hungry.

Originally, the two wanted to invite Liao Tingyu to have a drink and celebrate together, so they ate here by the way.

But Liao Tingyu refused, "Father and son, eat! You will take care of me when I'm there. These two children have been hungry for a long time. Get them something easy to digest. Don't get stomach problems from starvation."

Yang Shu naturally wouldn't object, after all, adults like them are just entertaining when they eat wine and tea together, so how can they possibly get children.

"Thank you for your understanding, Master, I'll see you off!"

"It's all a gift from the same town. Let's have a good chat. Let the children go back and play for two or three days before coming to me."

"it is good!"

After returning home, Huang Zilan put down the account book in his hand, and asked curiously, "How is it going? How did your two disciples say today?"

"These two children are in a good mood for the exam today. I heard them say that the problem should not be serious? You don't care about your husband, but you care about those two little guys?" Liao Tingyu pouted and acted like a baby to Huang Zilan.

"Naturally, I want to care about those two little guys. After taking the exam for a day, you sit in a restaurant drinking tea and chatting. How nice and leisurely! You still need me to ask if you eat and drink well Is it?" Huang Zilan squinted at Liao Tingyu.

"Then I don't need to worry about it. It is said that the children's exams are anxious in the hearts of adults. Although I drank tea and chatted there, I was also anxious! I have been worrying about those two little bastards all day long. Tiredness is more than physical fatigue."

"Okay, okay, you've worked so hard. Didn't you see that I made so many delicious things? Eat quickly, you're tired and eat more." Huang Zilan wanted to feed the cakes on the table into Liao Tingyu's mouth.

Liao Tingyu hurriedly avoided, looking at these things on the table was a bit uncomfortable, he really couldn't eat any more.

As soon as Huang Zilan saw his behavior, he knew the problem, "You ate something else, let me tell you, why didn't those two spirits keep you for dinner, they knew you were full! What did you eat today? "

Liao Tingyu smiled awkwardly, "It's the sauced duck and the fried meat, it tastes good."

"Indeed, that's the most proud signature dish of Zhenwei Pavilion. Be careful, don't get fat."

Liao Tingyu thought of his fat appearance, touched his clothes, it was okay.

There are many people who take the entrance examination for children, but the results come out quickly.

But the list came out in a month, because it was the lowest one that didn't even count as fame, there were no officers and soldiers to announce the good news, only the list, so all the parents gathered around the place where the list was released.

Zhang Yi and Yang Shu, two people who have seen big wind and waves, actually faced such a trivial matter, they got up nervously early in the morning, and let the family stand in front of them yesterday.

As for the doll and daughter-in-law, they are all kept in the mansion, there are some matters that they, the old masters, should rush to the front.

Before the list was released, I hurried over and asked: "How is it? Has the result come out yet?"

"Not yet, the master won't come out until noon." The servant looked helplessly and looked at the master who had already asked him several times. He just said no, so why ask again now!

"Why is it taking so long?" Zhang Yi was very anxious.

His stomach rebelled long ago if he didn't eat in the morning.

"What can we do? Why don't we go to that restaurant and eat something by the way. You two, keep an eye on me. If you come out, look for the young master's name on it." Yang Shu heard Zhang Yi The growling of the stomach relieved the siege.

"It's the master, don't worry. We will remember the young master's name firmly." The servant nodded quickly.

Zhang Yi didn't want to leave: "We'll just wait here for a while, anyway, it's only an hour or two."

"Someone is watching over here, you can't stand on this leg for so long, let's go back to the restaurant, let's wait patiently, trust the child, trust the master." Yang Shu said the words of trust, his legs trembled a little, he was very nervous, but I didn't have the guts to look at the list.

and so……

Liao Tingyu sat at home basking in the sun very leisurely.

Huang Zilan asked very strangely: "Your student's grades are about to be released today. Whether you can pass the exam depends on that piece of paper. Why don't you take a look?"

"What are you looking at? I've asked them about the content of the exam and listened to their answers. I think it's not bad. There's no big problem. Now we just need to sit here and wait for the news. Don't worry about it. It's simple at noon. It’s good to have a meal, if there is anything I need, I’ll come and help, let’s go to the big family tonight.”

"Big cops, do Zhang Yi and the others know how you describe them?" Huang Zilan said.

"I'm sure I don't know, how can I say these words in front of them, all right, what shall we have for lunch today?"

"Just get braised pork and stew some soup or something. Go pick some vegetables and put them in the soup so it tastes better."

"Okay, I'll pinch a little."

The two of them just had a peaceful meal, while the other side was nervous, eating bite after bite, staring intently at the place where the list was placed.

He clearly said that he wanted to drink tea, but he was afraid of delaying the release of the list when he entered the latrine, so he didn't dare to drink tea, so he just ate dry food.

Finally came the exciting moment, as the people in the yamen came out.

It was relatively quiet at first, and the besieging people stood consciously. As the officers and soldiers posted things on the bulletin board, it became crowded, and everyone wanted to move forward.

The two servants stood in the front row, supporting themselves in unspeakable misery.

"Why don't we go and have a look too." Zhang Yi stood up and tried to read the characters as big as ants.

Half of my body is almost sticking out of the railing.

"No, we're afraid we won't be able to squeeze in from this posture. We can only wait for news. I hope these two can be smarter." Yang Shu looked at the congestion below, and the two of them, who had been pampered for many years, were unable to squeeze in. go.

"I just said that I want to go down, but you won't let me go." Zhang Yi complained when he saw the scene below and knew there was no hope.

"Yes, you said you want to go down, why didn't I see your feet move!" Yang Shu looked at Zhang Yi angrily, "It's like this every time."

The servant lived up to expectations, and quickly found the names of the two young masters.

Because it is difficult to squeeze in, it is even harder to squeeze out, so I can only wave and shout at the restaurant.

"Master, my young master has passed the exam, my young master has passed the entrance examination for Tongsheng!"

Zhang Yi couldn't believe it, so he quickly asked: "I seem to have heard someone say it was serious just now, it seems to be the servant's voice, am I hallucinating?"

He tried his best to find the familiar people below, but there were all black heads below, and he couldn't tell them apart at all.

"Don't ask me if I don't know!" This brotherhood is like plastic, and it will collapse here.

Seeing his master staring at the list on the balcony, the servant knew that they hadn't heard at all, so he leaned over and tried to squeeze out carefully. Finally, he felt like he was out of shape. Messier than dry grass.

Not daring to delay for a moment, he ran to the restaurant. Xiao Er thought something serious had happened, and chased after him: "Oh, what are you two doing? What are you doing waiting? Stop!"

Zhang Yi saw the two people appearing in front of him in a state of embarrassment, recognized the person coming, and asked anxiously: "How is it? Did you guys win?"

"I got it, the young masters are all admitted to Tongsheng." This simple sentence made the two adults suffocate even the cold tea.

"Oh, my son, I really got the hit. Brother, did you hear that, my son got the hit!" Zhang Yi happily jumped up holding the poplar tree.

Yang Shu's expression was as if he had eaten shit. He pulled the man off his body and asked, "Did Master Yang Wenhao pass the exam?"

"I passed the exam. Master Yang Wenhao and Master Zhang Dewu passed the exam." After reconfirming that the news was true, Yang Shu sat down pretending to be calm.

It was in stark contrast to the happy expression of a man who looked like a madman.

Xiao Er who came from behind looked at the maddened appearance of the people in the room.

He hurriedly wanted to retreat, but Yang Shu called to him: "Little Er, don't leave yet, bring me a table of good wine and food."

Xiao Er nodded, and stepped back from the shopkeeper who rushed behind to inquire about the situation.

"What just happened? What are you shouting about?"

"Shopkeeper, I just saw two embarrassing people running in. I thought they had malicious intentions, but I didn't expect it to be in that box. The son of the people inside seemed to have passed the Tongsheng exam, and he was so happy that he went crazy."

"Whose family? It's really lucky to be admitted, and I don't know who I learned from." The shopkeeper was very envious.

Zhang Yi had almost vented his joy. He sat down and ate vegetables and said to his brother, "We should go and thank Master Liao. It's probably too late to go now. Why don't we go out to have a meal with Master Liao at night. I have to Think about it carefully, to be given a good gift to the master. It is all thanks to the master that our child was able to pass the exam."

"That's true. I'll also think about what gift to give. You two go back and tell everyone the news first, so that everyone will be happy." Yang Shu nodded and ordered.

As expected by Liao Tingyu, it was indeed a big meal tonight.

The two came to Liao Tingyu's mansion hand in hand with the invitation, and presented a generous gift.

After they left, Huang Zilan opened the box, and there were pieces of beautiful jewelry inside.

He was very happy in his heart, although he was not short of money, but as a businessman, he naturally liked money dropped into his pocket.

"It's really too polite to give, should we return some gifts."

"It's not necessary, it's probably nothing more than their income for a year or two. I brought their sons into the school of this scholar. No matter what their children do in the future, no one dares to say anything, and their front is even more It's a very open road, so you don't have to worry about these gifts, just accept them at ease." Liao Tingyu looked at these gifts and thought it didn't matter.

Huang Zilan thought it was true.

After all, it took these two children two years to get admitted to this place. They are geniuses in this place, and they will be looked down upon no matter what.If you are admitted to Qingshan Academy in the future, you will be allowed to leave the broad road.

Even if they don't want to take another step forward to inherit the family business, they are still Confucian businessmen, and no one dares to underestimate them.

During the banquet in the evening, Yang Shu and his family invited songs to add to the fun, and the two children prepared their own gifts for the master according to their father's words.

"Thank you, master, for your cultivation in the past two years."

"You are welcome, you two were extremely intelligent children, and now you are able to achieve such achievements, it is also the result of your hard work. The master led the door, and the practice depends on the individual. I hope you can encourage each other in the future, and go further." Liao Tingyu said Words of encouragement.

The two old fathers were very happy when they saw the clothes on their sons.

Dressing for the Mid-Autumn Festival here should be more particular. Most of the clothes worn by people who have studied have no patterns.

Scholars with a little fame will have some elegant patterns embroidered on their bodies.

The pattern of the clothes worn by rich businessmen is different.

If a businessman or his son wears those patterns embroidered with meaning, he will be scolded by scholars.

Today, the two children had green bamboo embroidered on their bodies. The clothes did not look new, but the green bamboo pattern was embroidered just now. Presumably, they learned the news and embroidered it quickly. After all, this is a happy thing. thing.

Yang Shu's husband, Huang Zilan, had met him before. He was the brother of his father's former business friend, and Zhang Yi's wife was also an acquaintance.

The three sat together and chatted.

"The orchid embroidered on Yang Wenhao's body is really beautiful, did my brother embroider it by himself?"

"Yes, I learned this craft at home, and it is finally useful. This is all thanks to your husband." Yang Shu's husband smiled very gently, and from the corner of his eyes, he could see that he was happy all afternoon.

"Yes, that's right. We should thank Mrs. Liao well! Without Mrs. Liao, we would not be here today. Come, let us toast you."
