Traveling through ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 51 Passed the Imperial Examination

This time it took less time to get the results, and the results were posted the next day after waiting.

Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Shen Qi who wanted to see the results early, but refused to let him go. He had a good lunch before taking them to see the results.

At noon, sure enough, there was no one around.

Yu Xiaoxiao and the other three quickly saw the final results. There was just a list without Shen Qi's name. It was obvious that Shen Qi failed the list.

Shen Ye's name is located in the middle and lower reaches of the list, and the 29th place is still very good.

When Shen Qi saw that his name was not on the list, he became frustrated and followed his mother and elder brother home.

Along the way, neither Shen Ye nor Yu Xiaoxiao spoke. When they arrived at home, Yu Xiaoxiao comforted Shen Qi: "Xiao Qi, you didn't do well in the exam this time. Let's wait until next year. Think about it, you have only been in school for two years." , it would be great to be a Tongsheng.”

Shen Ye also comforted his younger brother: "Xiao Qiniang is right, you are really good if you can pass the county exam in one try. Go back and read the book carefully this year. If you don't understand anything, big brother will teach you, and big brother will also I believe you, you will definitely become a scholar next year."

Although Shen Qi was comforted, he was still a little depressed and unhappy, but he thought that he could not let his mother and eldest brother worry about him all the time, so he could only cheer up and said with a smile: "Xiao Qi understands, mother, eldest brother, I It’s okay, I will definitely pass Xiaoqi next year.”

Yu Xiaoxiao gently rubbed Shen Qi's hair and said, "As long as we, Xiao Qi, understand, Xiao Qi doesn't have to blame ourselves, you know? Mom is already very proud of our Xiao Qi."

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled and said: "Okay, Mom will go do it for you now, wait."

In more than a month, Yu Xiaoxiao made a total of six sets of clothes, two sets for each of the three people, not including shoes.

Since traveling to ancient times, Yu Xiaoxiao has lost her night life and basically goes to bed at 9 o'clock. Now, her half-old son has actually started to have social activities.

Putting the invitation on Shen Ye's desk, Yu Xiaoxiao sat back and continued to sew clothes.

"Why are only the top three notified? Is it because only the top three are likely to pass the exam?"

Hearing this, Shen Ye said: "Mom, although my ranking is very low, we still have to wait for another five days. I asked people that every year, children who pass the government examination have to wait for the invitation of the county magistrate to take part. You can only go home after a party."

Yu Xiaoxiao understood. To put it more clearly, it didn’t mean that the top three had greater investment value and the others were irrelevant. The magistrate held a banquet to win over him just to look good, or just in case a dark horse appeared. It's just a matter of time.

Shen Ye knew that his mother didn't have any knowledge about this aspect, so she patiently explained: "Actually, there are notifications, but usually only the top three are notified, and no one from other scholars will specifically remind them. Others asked for the news."

On the third day, a servant came to deliver the invitation. Yu Xiaoxiao politely accepted the invitation, handed over a dozen coins, expressed her gratitude, and promised to go the next day.

Sighing, Yu Xiaoxiao said that she couldn't control it, and she didn't have the ability to control it, so just let nature take its course.

After a while, Shen Qi returned to his normal state and said coquettishly to Yu Xiaoxiao, "Mom, Xiao Qi is hungry."

Rich households and officials in the county only have to be friends with the top three, and basically ignore the other scholars. The county magistrate will hold a gathering of scholars or children every year, firstly, to encourage children to become scholars or scholars, and secondly. It just shows that all students are treated equally.”

Yu Xiaoxiao knew it in her heart, but she didn't say it out loud. After all, it would be bad if something got spread.

Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't figure it out, so she asked her son directly: "Ye'er, didn't anyone come to notify you? Why is there still such a rule?"

Shen Ye nodded silently and said: "It can also be said that it usually takes several years for a county to be elected. Therefore, the top three generally have the greatest possibility of passing the exam, and other scholars can say There is little hope, so an unwritten rule has been formed.

I could only compromise: "Okay, then let's wait a few days before returning."

There seemed to be tears in Shen Qi's eyes. Yu Xiaoxiao didn't know if she had seen it wrong, so Shen Qi hugged her waist.

But what if it's outrageous? I don't have the ability to change the world, so now I can only force myself to accept this world.

Yu Xiaoxiao spent most of her time on the patterns on the clothes. Although she sewed this and that after traveling here, and the stitches looked much better, it was still very laborious to embroider some patterns. The clothes she finally made, Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't bear to ruin him, so she could only embroider it bit by bit carefully.

Although Tong Sheng is not qualified enough, only scholars can have some privileges. Ordinary people and even small landowners do not dare to offend him, and his family can be regarded as a well-established family.

Yu Xiaoxiao had no intention of looking at it. She just stroked Shen Qi's hair gently and waited for Shen Qi to adjust his mood.

Yu Xiaoxiao thought that her mother and her son should prepare to pack up and go home, so she said to the two children: "Ye'er, Xiaoqi, you guys should also pack up tonight, we should go home too."

Yu Xiaoxiao plans to take the remaining fabric back and continue making it when she has free time. Both children are growing fast now, so if you make too much fabric, they will not be too small when the time comes.

Yu Xiaoxiao frowned. Logically speaking, since it was a local organization, it would be fine if no one came to notify them. After all, scholars are not qualified to be officials, so why do they still need to go out to socialize...

This is outrageous!

Then watching the servant leave, Yu Xiaoxiao closed the door, opened the invitation and read it. He wrote a lot of gorgeous words, which made Yu Xiaoxiao's mind a little overwhelmed. After reading it twice, Yu Xiaoxiao extracted the Key information:

Shen Ye did not disturb Shen Qi and watched quietly, with a bit of worry and concern in his eyes.

Shen Qi's unhappiness seemed to last only for a while. After that, apart from studying more seriously, nothing changed.

The magistrate will hold a banquet at Chunli Garden the day after tomorrow, inviting all the children and students to enjoy the scenery together. The specific time is from 3:00 pm to 9:00 pm in modern time.

Moreover, Yu Xiaoxiao also thought that the whole family would dress beautifully on the day they returned to the village. One of the two sons was a child student and the other was considered a student. Yu Xiaoxiao had to show off in the village, right?

Don’t be afraid that if you make too much money, someone will covet you.

Of course, in Yu Xiaoxiao's opinion, it would be safest for one of the two sons to pass the examination. Even if he is not an official, he can support a large family by opening a private school.

At this moment, Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t know that her words would come true.

In a blink of an eye, the day came when Shen Ye went to socialize. Yu Xiaoxiao was particularly worried. This child has not grown up yet. What if he drinks? What if he is cheated?

The more Yu Xiaoxiao thought about it, the more worried she became, and the more she thought about it, the more irritable she became.
