Wen Family Has a Wife

Wen Yuanliang took a look at the paper on the table. The volume had red lines and vertical grids. Each page had 12 lines and 20 words each. He sent two sheets of plain paper for drafting purposes. Only the title and the letterhead should be filled in the draft. In regular script, candidates are not allowed to write their answers outside the sealed line, and those who violate the rules will be given zero points.

These rules have been mentioned before, and he paid special attention to them. Because it is not appropriate to turn around in the examination room, Feng Hongyu and the other three were not with him, and he did not know what was going on with everyone, so he lowered his head carefully. After reading the exam questions, it is fortunate that the two essays are from "The Great Learning" and "The Analects of Confucius", which are the most basic ones.

Fortunately, he has been pressed by the old Jitou to write poems this year, and it should not be a problem to take out the poems he made before and revise it.

With certainty in his heart, he gradually calmed down, and only started to write when he was calm. Anyway, there was more than enough time for the first exam, and the most important thing was to seek stability.

After writing the two articles, Wen Yuanliang checked it carefully to make sure that there were no typos or omissions before putting down the pen. When he found that he was a little hungry, he took out two pancakes that had cooled down, put them on his stomach and started to put the pen on the scratch paper. When writing poems, I first wrote down the poems I had done, and then revised them. After going back and forth several times, I wrote the final poems on the answer sheet, and then recited them silently a few times to make sure that the ink was dry before accepting them. I got the test kit and waited for the gong.

Wen Yuanliang, who walked out of the examination room, suppressed his excitement, got on the carriage and urged the driver to go back.

Inside the carriage, Shu Yan hurriedly poured out hot water and handed it to Wen Yuanliang, and asked eagerly, "Master, how are you doing? Madam and Mr. have been waiting for news today!"

Wen Yuanliang took a sip of hot tea, groaned comfortably, the corners of his mouth raised an arc, and pretended to be calm: "It's okay."

Seeing his inkstone like this, he knew that it was okay, and he was very happy.

Early in the warm period.

Chen Ningya and Lao Jitou sat in the main room and counted the time silently. Don't look at Lao Jitou's indifferent appearance, in fact, he was more nervous than anyone else.

Although Chen Ningya was not calm, she had prepared for the worst. In addition to what Mr. Hu said before, she did not expect Wen Yuanliang to pass the test in one go, and she was much better emotionally than Lao Jitou.

Old Jitou looked at her calm look, and asked angrily, "Aren't you in a hurry when your son ends?"

Chen Ningya took a sip of tea, but her voice did not waver, "What's the use of me being anxious? It's his skill that he passed the test, and Mr. Ji has the ability. It's reasonable for him to fail the test. I can only say that my husband is my husband. Look at Mr. Gao."

Old Jitou slapped the desk in anger, "Fart! If that kid didn't do well in the exam, you didn't give him a smart head! Stupid and stupid, rotten wood can't be carved!"

Chen Ningya sneered: "Who said that a child can carve dead wood if he is taught to teach him?"

"You... hum! Only women and villains are difficult to support!" Old Jitou was so angry that he almost had a myocardial infarction, he flicked his sleeves, and turned back to his room arrogantly.

Madam Ding hurriedly persuaded him to see the person leave, "Why does Madam need to have the same knowledge as Mr. Ji? It's been so long, and it's not like you don't know what kind of virtue that person is."

Chen Ningya pouted, "I just don't want to get used to him! Maybe I'm going to clash with him."

"Uh..." Mrs. Ding was speechless.

After a while, Wen Yuanliang came back with the inkstone, and Chen Ningya hurriedly asked the cook to serve the dishes, and then asked the servant to boil hot water for him, and asked distressedly: "But you're exhausted! Come, come, my mother will cook it for you. I have some delicious food, make up for it, and I will end tomorrow!"

After speaking, Chen Ningya was stunned for a moment, looked at Wen Yuanliang unnaturally, and asked cautiously, "Can I end tomorrow?"

After each test in the county seat, the examiner will immediately mark the paper and announce the results on the same day. The first test will be admitted as long as the writing is smooth and the handwriting is clean.

Wen Yuanliang looked at his beautiful mother in tears and laughed, "Mother, if I can't even make it through the first game, I don't have to go this way."

When Chen Ningya heard it,

He was relieved, smiled embarrassedly, and urged enthusiastically: "Then sit down and eat, you have your favorite roast goose, steamed fish, seafood porridge, as well as scallion pancakes, chicken soup, you can continue when you are full. Read a book, go to bed early today, and get up early tomorrow!"

Wen Yuanliang nodded and persuaded: "I know, but my mother doesn't have to get up and cook for me tomorrow, it's too hard."

Chen Ningya originally wanted to say that it was not hard, but she nodded and agreed.

"By the way, what about sir?" Wen Yuanliang looked around, but didn't find Lao Jitou.

Chen Ningya smiled strangely and said inexplicably, "Don't worry, he won't forget to eat if he forgets anything. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Wen Yuanliang waited obediently. After a while, the old Jitou came over. When he entered the door, he saw Wen Yuanliang blowing his beard and staring, "You don't know how to call me after eating, and you don't know how to respect your teacher and respect the way. , all the knowledge has gone into the belly of the dog!"

Wen Yuanliang pointed to himself innocently, looked at Chen Ningya again, and silently took the blame.

In order to calm down the old Jitou, he could only keep serving the other side dishes while eating, and the old Jitou was reluctant to get angry.

After the three of them had lunch, Wen Yuanliang and Lao Jitou went to the study. Chen Ningya sent a few servants to guard the entrance of the county government office, and came back to report as soon as the admission list came out.

It was always torturous while waiting. Madam Ding asked Chen Ningya to take a break and she refused. She had nothing to do and couldn't sit still. She simply went to the stove to play with food, at least to distract her attention. Unconsciously, the sun It was almost sinking, and Wen Yuanhong and Wen Yuanxing also came back from the school.

As soon as the two entered the door, they started shouting and asked Chen Ningya to rush back to the room.

When it was almost dark, the servants who went to watch the rankings came back. As soon as they entered the door, they went straight to the main room. Chen Ningya saw his happy expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm talking slowly."

The servant said excitedly: "Madam, the eldest young master has been accepted! You can take the second test tomorrow."

Chen Ningya's smile gradually expanded, and Mrs. Ding next to her also grinned and said, "Madam, this is a big happy event! Would you like to celebrate it?"

However, Chen Ningya shook her head, "There is nothing to celebrate, we can just be happy, don't affect the child's state, tell the eldest young master and Mr. Ji about this later, and remind the second and third young masters, these few days Go to the eldest young master and influence him to read books."

"Yes!" Mrs. Ding took the orders, and the servants who read the list received 20 coins as a reward, and happily retired.

On the second day, Wen Yuanliang still got up early like yesterday. This time, he had already adapted to the state of the exam, and simply went out after breakfast.
