"I've won, I've won."
Just when Wei Wencai and Wu Dong were slightly disappointed, Wei Guangde, who was hit hard, suddenly saw the small words "Tianzi No. 12" at 10 o'clock, and his suppressed nervousness suddenly released and shouted desperately.
"Where? How many numbers?"
Wu Dong, who was slightly depressed, was shocked when he heard Wei Guangde's shouting and asked quickly.
"The ten o'clock position, Tianzi No. 12."
Wei Guangde said casually.
"What's the ten o'clock position? Where is that?"
Wei Wencai didn't understand and hurriedly asked.
"that is......"
Wei Guangde didn't know how to explain for a moment, but he realized it now and stopped shouting excitedly, "I'm beaten, I'm beaten."
"That's, left, a little bit on the left."
Wei Guangde didn't know if there were Western clocks and clocks in the Ming Dynasty at this time. It was too difficult to explain what direction it was. It would be better to learn from Zeng Yuanrui to give a general direction.
"Really, Tianzi No. 12."
With the upper left direction, Wei Wencai, Wu Dong, Zeng Yuanshu and others looked over, and it turned out that the 12th word of Tianzi was written.
At this time, no one would talk about his seat number for the sake of face. If the first person is talking, it would be a shame if he was caught off guard.
The results of the county examinations were all Japanese circles and round crimes, and they were all over the last county examination. They will be admitted to the candidates from the first one, and they will be dismantled and sealed, and the crimes will be reported by their names, which is called "long case".
The first place is called "the head of the county case". There are no major accidents and there is no need to take the exam all the way to the college. As usual, "enter the school" to obtain the fame of scholars.
Those who pass the top ten are the "top ten in counties" and are an honor. When you arrive at the government exam, you must take the hall number.
However, in the past two days of meeting local students, Wei Guangde has already stopped his idea of competing for the top ten in the county, and even the top ten in the county. His level is there, and he is really not as good as others.
As long as you can pass the main exam and get the qualification for the government exam, this is the tone set by Wei Guangde for himself.
Now, he did it.
After passing this county examination, Wei Guangde has been qualified to go to Jiujiang Prefecture to participate in the prefecture examination, which is enough.
Although the head of the county test will definitely pass the prefecture test, my family knows their own affairs and will not think about it anymore.
It would be better to continue to bet on luck in the house trial.
"Congratulations, Guangde, wait two months later, you and my brother will go to Jiujiang Mansion together. Then, I will set up a table for you to welcome you."
Zeng Yuanshu heard that Wei Guangde had also passed the county examination, and the slightest contempt he had before disappeared.
I and my brothers were confused when I was less than seven years old, and I had already started reading the Four Books and Five Classics when I was less than ten years old. There was really no pressure to pass the county examination.
But Wei Guangde was not. He was only eight years old, and he had just started reading the Four Books at the age of eleven, and had not read the Five Classics yet. In other words, it took less than two years for Wei Guangde to really start preparing for the imperial examination.
Although he was unwilling to admit anything, Zeng Yuanshu still attached importance to Wei Guangde.
Fortunately, my brothers and Wei Guangde are about the same age and are in the same subject, so they can get closer.
"Let's go, Cuiyunlou has a drink."
His cousin was on the list and passed the county examination. Wu Dong waved his hand proudly.
I have been leaving the county town for some days, and I am also in a hurry when I go home. It has been a long time since I went to several restaurants in the city to have a meal. It just so happened that my brothers are on the list today and I should celebrate it.
"Along the way, go home first to report the good news."
Wei Wencai thought that there were still several elders waiting for news at home. Although he didn't know where the Cuiyun Tower was in Wu Dong's mouth, he still pointed out and had to pass the news back first.
“Along the way, along the way.”
Wu Dong naturally understood and nodded, "It's not far from home, we passed by there when we entered the city."
"Okay, everyone is going to celebrate. I haven't drunk Wu Dong's wine for a long time."
Zeng Yuanshu also said with a smile.
.........
The meal ended until Shen Shichu, which was around 3:00 p.m.
Wei Guangde and his friends entered the restaurant at around 10 o'clock in the morning. Many candidates who were on the county exam came in the middle. After going around, Wei Guangde met another group of people.
When he and his cousin returned home, their parents, uncles and aunts were still waiting.
"Our family will also celebrate tonight."
My uncle sat in the upper seat and said to several people.
"I have asked people to prepare."
My aunt on the side is also smiling now. Wei Guangde can pass the county exam at such a young age, so it is naturally worth celebrating.
For those of you, it is easy to find a few families who can dance with swords and guns at home, but when it comes to taking the imperial examination, there are really few people in their relatives.
I won’t say that my eldest brother Zhang Shigui is going to succeed me, but my second brother Zhang Fugui has gone to study and failed the Dehua County Examination, let alone participated in the Jiujiang Prefecture Examination.
I just wanted to be more arrogant after my son passed the mansion examination. Although I was not a scholar, I was considered a child.
In this world, if you have a relative who is full of fame and fortune, you will naturally have some preferential treatment for military officers. At least when facing civil servants, you will still have a little more face.
It's a pity that my son.
Wu Zhang looked at Wei Guangde sitting below and unconsciously thought of his son Wu Dong. If he was more determined and had another son, maybe...
This is not Nanjing, there is no Qinhuai River that sings every night.
However, after the lights were lit at night, many lanterns were hung inside and outside the door of the Wu family's house, illuminating the entire yard as bright as day.
The main house had already been held for a banquet, and the two families, including their uncle's two daughters, Wei Guangde's cousin, all sat on the dining table, drinking wine and eating dishes, talking and laughing, and it was also very lively.
"I'll send a letter to my family and ask my brother to clean up the West Garden. When Guangde goes to Jiujiang Mansion, he will move in directly. You have lived there last year, so you won't be used to it."
Mrs. Wu Zhang said to her sister-in-law now.
"Well, yes, let Wu Dong go there at that time. He has participated in the mansion test and has some things that he can tell Guangde."
Wu Zhankui held the wine glass and clashed with Wei Meng for a while, then drank a glass of wine, and then continued to speak.
"good."
Wu Dong, who had just brought a glass of wine to accompany him to drink, agreed loudly, "Yuan Shu's third brother is going to the house for an exam, so he can go there together at that time."
Just as everyone was cheering, the sound of horse hooves came faintly.
This was during the Ming Dynasty. At this time of night, the gates of the county town were closed. Except for the update, there were no pedestrians on the streets, let alone horse racing. However, the sound of horse hooves seemed to be there and there was nothing, from small to large, and gradually became clear.
