Chapter 144: Scholarly Family

The third update, near the end of the month, please look for pink.∮,

...

The examination of Ren'an Mansion's college entrance examination started on June 15th, and the location is still in the examination room of the Gongyuan. The examination is different from the examination of the prefecture and county examinations. There are only two examinations in total, and they are hosted by the academic and government officials.

The first game is the main game. The admission list is revealed in a circle, with only the seat number and not the name, commonly known as the "draft". Mr. Ji San passed the main game and the draft was on the list. He then participated in the second game, which was the exam that was overdue.

The list was released three days after the exam was over, and the admission list was announced commonly known as "case-taking".

Master Ji San passed two exams, but he didn't go out and just waited for the case in Mu's mansion.

On June 22, the court conducted an examination and the report was released. The report was covered with red and hanging colors and knocked on the gong to the gate of Mu's mansion. The Mu family immediately became jubilant.

Today's day is special. Mu Hong, Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao and his son all went to the garrison office to order Mao early, and then came back. Everyone gathered in the main hall and waited to report their children to come home.

When I got the news in the front yard, a little girl immediately ran to the back yard to report.

Ji Xiaotang was sitting with Shen in the upper room at this moment. Although she had a clear understanding of the results of the exam, she was still a little excited when she heard the little girl report that Mr. Ji San had passed the college entrance examination.

After passing the college entrance examination, Mr. Ji San was qualified to be a student and was to be a scholar. From then on, Mr. Ji San could not kneel when he saw the county magistrate, be exempted from labor service, and continue to participate in the following provincial examinations to achieve the reputation of a juren.

Although scholars cannot be an official, they have initially entered the ranks of officials. From then on, they will not be Bai Ding. Although scholars are not an official, they cannot be underestimated at all. I don’t know how many people have been just a child’s life. Although they are only one step away from scholars, this step is out of reach.

Master Ji San always doesn't like studying, but once the prodigal son turns around and takes the exam for the first time, he passes the county examination, the government examination and the college examination one after another, and becomes the scholar's husband.∮, even Ren'an in the capital city, this matter has been talked about for a long time.

There are those who are envious, and there are also those who are jealous.

Many people believe that it is better to choose the lucky land of the Ji family's ancestral tomb. Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji, and the third Jinshi. Even the least outstanding youngest son, who can do whatever he wants, is a scholar.

And this should be just the beginning.

Many people have begun to be optimistic about Mr. Ji San’s performance in the provincial examination this fall.

Master Ji San was also very happy when he knew that he had passed the exam. There were banquets here in Mu Mansion to celebrate. Ji Xiaotang was busy writing letters to Qingyuan’s home to announce the good news, and at the same time, he also gave Master Ji San a slap for official boots, scarves, robes, etc. to Master Ji San.

Master Ji San dressed up and attended a banquet held by the academician for the new scholars in the yamen. He held a hairpin ceremony and worshiped the Saint Confucius. From then on, he officially became a disciple of Confucius.

After all this, Master Ji San discussed with Ji Xiaotang that he would go back to Qingyuan.

They came out of Qingyuan in March, and now it is the end of June, and have been living in Ren'an for four months. Although they still have to participate in the provincial examination held in August, during this period, whether they themselves or Qingyuan's family, they hope that they can go back and reunite their relatives.

This was already agreed, but Mu Hong, Shen and others were very reluctant to let it go and repeatedly wanted the two of them to stay in the mansion.

"It's also a lot of trouble to go back and forth. Why don't you wait to pass the provincial examination and go back again, which is also a worry-free and trouble-free way."

Here, when Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er from Qingyuan received the good news, they sent a manager to take many guards to pick up Ji Xiaotang and Mr. Ji Er.∮,

Mu Hong and Shen were unable to do so, so they kept them for another two days before they let go.

When the uncle and nephew came, they brought a lot of things. Although they didn't have as many cars and horses when they came back, they were also quite a lot. Many of them were bought by Mu Hong and Shen's family, as well as gifts sent to the Ji family in Qingyuan.

Even Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San bought a lot of things to take back.

On this day, Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San got clean and got up from Mu's mansion.

Mu Hong and Shen sent the two to the gate.

Shen took Ji Xiaotang's hand and was reluctant to let go for a long time.

"When you go back, I'll say hello to me." Shen Shi told Ji Xiaotang in a hurry, "Be careful along the way. When you stay for two days, you will come back early. Your uncle and nephew are used to living here, so come here early, and you're ready for the provincial examination..."

Shen pulled Ji Xiaotang and spoke under the carriage. With her attitude, Ji Xiaotang didn't plan to get on the carriage and leave this day. It was still Zhang who saw that it was not too late and came forward to persuade him. Shen reluctantly let go of Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang saluted Shen and Zhang again, touched Mu Wanjie's head, and then got on the carriage.

Mu Hong had an errand, so he had to send Ji Xiaotang to the city gate and went back.

But Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao brought soldiers and kept sending Ji Xiaotang out of the city. After the city gate, a group of cars and horses stopped at Shili Pavilion. Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao could only send Ji Xiaotang and Master Ji San here, and they also had other chores.

Qi Younian took over the Mu brothers' position with his subordinates and wanted to continue escorting Ji Xiaotang forward.

This was the result that everyone agreed on after Ji Xiaotang decided on the date of his trip.

Originally, Mu Hong and his son planned to send Ji Xiaotang to Mujia Village, but it was just like that. On this day, they all had chores that could not be spared, and only Qi Younian could make free time on this day.

The escort of Ji Xiaotang fell on Qi Younian with "no obligation".

In fact, Qi Younian volunteered, and the Mu family and the Ji family were not polite to him.

At Shili Pavilion, Ji Xiaotang also got off the carriage and saw that Qi Younian had another horse beside him. The horse was snow-white all over, without any miscellaneous hair. His skeleton was shorter than the big black horse, but he did not lose his divine horse at all.

The white horse was on the bridle with bright saddles and red tassels on its forehead.

Ji Xiaotang's eyes fell on Baima and took a while to move away.

Qi Younian had already led the horse to Ji Xiaotang. He didn't say anything, but bent his crescent eyes and handed the reins of the white horse to Ji Xiaotang.

"This is..." Ji Xiaotang hesitated and stretched out his hand.

"This is for you, Xiaotang." Qi Younian said, looking at Ji Xiaotang's happy expression very enjoyably.

Mu Jiaying and Mu Jiahao both looked clear and smiled.

"It's for me." Ji Xiaotang took the reins of the horse and carefully looked around the white horse. He felt that almost all the white horses were not in line with his wishes.

"Try it." Qi Younian said, and while acting as a horse-mounting stone very naturally, he helped Ji Xiaotang get on the horse.

Qi Younian only let go of the horse's reins at this time and asked Ji Xiaotang if he was ready, but he gently whipped the horse's butt.

The white horse rushed out like a flying horse.

Ji Xiaotang rode a white horse and ran around the official road for a while, and returned to Shili Pavilion and slowly slowed down.

Looking at the expression on Ji Xiaotang's face at this moment, you can tell that she is very satisfied with this white horse.

The white horse has good feet, is very stable and obedient.

After running this lap, perhaps because of happiness, Ji Xiaotang's cheeks turned slightly red, making her look even more beautiful. She got off from the horse and thanked Qi Younian generously.

"It's time to thank Ayou." Mu Jiaying said with a smile, "Ayou has been trying a lot for this horse?"

Ji Xiaotang asked Mu Jiaying with his eyes what was going on.

Then Mu Jiaying smiled and told Ji Xiaotang that this white horse was found by Qi Younian at the military horse farm and spent several months carefully training before giving it to Ji Xiaotang.

According to Mu Jiaying, Qi Younian had long planned to send horses to Ji Xiaotang.

"The last time you were in Mujiazhai, your red horse was good everywhere, but it was easy to be shocked." Qi Younian made up his mind at that time and wanted to give Ji Xiaotang a horse that was not easy to be shocked.

If any horse is not easy to be shocked, it is naturally an excellent and specially trained military horse.

For this horse, he had been preparing for it almost from Ji Xiaotang to Ren An. During this period, he did not reveal a word to Ji Xiaotang or others.

If it weren't for the big place to train horses and the noise was not small, Mu Jiaying and the others might not know.

Qi Younian's intentions can be seen.
