Chapter 111 Double Happiness
First update, please pink.⊥,
...
However, of course, Master Ji San did not jump. He was able to suppress his joy and slowly wrote it on the draft paper for the first time, and then copied it on the test paper slowly. He waited until the second batch of cards was put out before he followed the other nine candidates. It was extremely rare for Master Ji San to do this.
"Minister Xie is very concerned about me." Master Ji San told Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang again.
Xie Zhixian presided over this county examination. There were so many candidates, and Xie Zhixian's eyes frequently fell on Mr. Ji San, which was particularly concerned. However, when you think about it, this is also a natural person.
In the examination room, it was not only Xie Zhixian who paid attention to Master Ji San, but also the instructor of the Confucianism Department who was supervising the examination, who also paid great attention to Master Ji San.
Who made him a member of the Ji family and a legendary return-to-back prodigal son?
"Uncle, you didn't let them... Uncle Xie see the flaws, right?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Definitely not." Master Ji San was very confident about this. Before taking the exam, Ji Xiaotang had instructed him. Even though they were in the same family as Magistrate Xie, they should not relax when Magistrate Xie was in the face of Magistrate Xie.
In other words, I just had to be more careful in front of Xie Magistrate, because Xie Magistrate must know Master Ji San better than others.
As Master Ji San said this, Ji Xiaotang felt relieved.⊥, and the three of them happily came to the backyard to meet Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er.
Mrs. Ji Er sat in Mrs. Ji's house. Her birth date was approaching, but she was also concerned about Mrs. Ji San's participation in the county examination and was always with Mrs. Ji.
When Mr. Ji San was back, Old Mrs. Ji hurriedly asked him to sit in front of him. He didn't ask how he was doing the exam, but just asked if he was frozen in the exam room and if he had any grievances.
Master Ji San answered no, let Mrs. Ji rest assured.
"Mom, I'm so old, look, Xiaoyun and Xiaotang are both here..." Master Ji San felt a little embarrassed when he was treated like this by Old Mrs. Ji.
"How old are you, I'll ask you a few more questions." Old Mrs. Ji said angrily.
Master Ji San laughed with him when he was busy.
Then Mrs. Ji asked Mr. Ji San how he was doing the exam.
"All the questions were answered, and they were the second batch of the papers." Master Ji San told Mr. Ji that when he handed in the paper, most of the candidates in the exam room had not finished answering the poems. "I saw a fat scholar who didn't write a few words on the paper in total, hahaha."
Old Mrs. Ji was very happy to hear Master Ji San say this.
"My old son is also promising."
On February 17th, the second county examination of Qingyuan County started.⊥, the second county examination was also called the first round. The exam time and the rules were similar to the first one. The Ji family still stood up early, and Master Ji Er and Ji Xiaotang personally sent Master Ji San to the examination room.
When I arrived outside the examination room, I waited for a while and saw two people in the county government carrying the signboard out. The signboard was red paper, and the names of the top ten candidates in the main venue were written on it.
Master Ji San's name is listed in the ninth place.
With Ji Xiaotang's talent and Master Ji Er's polish, it is not difficult to get Master Ji San to be the first. But that's what it means to be eye-catching will be harmful to Master Ji San.
This term is very good, exactly what Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji Er hoped.
Master Ji Er patted Master Ji San on the shoulder, and everything was silent.
"Congratulations to uncle, I will continue to work hard." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.
Master Ji San nodded heavily.
Ji Xiaotang also bet on today's test questions. He had already kept the prepared article in mind. As long as he responded like a regular venue, he would have no worries about other classes.
"Second brother, Xiaotang, you guys go back. This time, just leave the servants to wait for me." Before entering the examination room, Master Ji San said to Master Ji Er.
As long as you pass the county examination, it doesn’t matter if you pass the main examination. With Master Ji San’s move in the main examination, this county examination is almost certain.
"I'm still waiting for my uncle here, so my father will go back first, and I'm looking at my mother." Ji Xiaotang said.
Master Ji Er thought about it and nodded.
For several days, Mr. Ji San's examination was held for the first time, and then again. He had five consecutive games, all of which were Ji Xiaotang and his men picked up and dropped off. On February 25, the county case was tested.
The Ji family beat the servants in charge early and went to the county government to watch the list. The whole family gathered in Old Mrs. Ji's house waiting for the news.
The managers left early and came back in a hurry after nearly an hour. They came in and knelt down and kowtowed to announce the good news.
"The third master passed the exam and was ranked ninth!"
As the manager finished his voice, the people in the room had long been smiling.
Mrs. Ji kept chanting Buddha's name, and while saying that she wanted to burn incense in front of Mr. Ji's ranking. Mr. Ji Er, Mr. Ji San and Ji Xiaotang were all very calm. Mr. Ji San was ranked ninth in the main exam. Now the result of this ranking has long been expected.
The managers read the list and rushed back to report the news first. Then the county government team arrived. After receiving the good news and rewarding the newspaper, the Ji family was filled with joy.
Old Mrs. Ji held Master Ji San and refused to let go, saying that the sky had eyes, Old Mr. Ji had spirit in the sky, and the Ji family's youngest son also had a good start in school.
"Go to my box to get the money and give it a reward." Old Mrs. Ji said happily and waved her hand.
Everyone in the Ji family had rewards, and the servants who followed Master Ji San received even more rewards, and they danced happily.
"I didn't expect that I would be today with Master Three." The servant Tongqian deliberately cried, "I thought that following Master Three in this life would only be able to get beaten with Master Three."
Just as she was having a happy mood, she saw the big girl Xiangxiu running away in a hurry.
"Mrs. Second, I'm moving."
Mrs. Ji Er was not with Mrs. Ji's house today because she had signs of moving. At this time, Xiangxiu came to report that Mrs. Ji Er was about to give birth.
"Old lady, I'll go and have a look." After hearing this, Master Ji Er hurriedly bowed to Old lady Ji.
Ji Xiaotang followed him out.
This time Mrs. Ji Er gave birth, and the things that should be prepared were already prepared. The two best women in the county were also invited early in the morning. Madam Cheng also accompanied Mrs. Ji Er in the delivery room.
Mrs. Ji Er started to suffer from the third update on February 24, and it was painful for a whole day and night. It was not until the lanterns were held on the 25th that a loud baby cry came from the delivery room.
"Congratulations to the second master, I am happy to have a son! The mother and son are safe!" The woman came out to report the good news with a smile.
Mrs. Ji Er gave birth to a fat boy weighing 7 pounds and 7 ounces in this child.
