Chapter 144: Accepting Students

During these days of waiting for results at home, Yun Huachun did not dare to relax.

Once a child student passes the exam, the scholar exam will be held two months later.

Before Yun Huachun went to the city to see the results, servants from the prefect's family came to announce the good news.

Yun Huachun passed the Tongsheng examination and ranked ninth.

This ranking is neither too good nor too bad.

Yun Huachun had some experience in his mind, plus the help of Zhou Xiucai and the prefect.

Yun Huachun was quite satisfied with this result. He knew that he was not a third-level scholar, and he had no chance of being the top pick in the case. He only hoped that everything would be fine if he was admitted as a scholar.

After being cooped up at home for several more months, I finally waited for this year's scholar examination.

The examination for scholar is different from the examination for child. You have to stay in the examination room for three days, eating, drinking and eating.

I take exams in a small shed during the day and sleep in a small shed at night.

In this way, Yuntao and Wan Hongmei planned to make preparations and make some food for Yun Huachun to take.

Only by eating well and sleeping well can you do well in the exam.

There were a lot of sweet potatoes at home this year, so Yun Tao went to the cellar to dig some out, cut them into finger-width strips, and dried them to make sweet potato chips.

I bought some more pork and made a pound of dried meat.

I baked seven or eight pancakes and sprinkled them with some salt and sesame seeds.

It's just that vegetables are hard to pack, so Yuntao stuffed some eggs for her father and put some pickles in them.

You can bring your own small stove and charcoal fire in the examination room. Just boil some eggs and eat some dry food and pickles.

Although there are instant noodles and other things at home, you cannot bring anything with a strong smell into the examination room, otherwise it will disturb the order of the examination room.

Besides, eating instant noodles is not nutritious either.

Yuntao picked up another thin quilt and some thick clothes, so that everything was properly packed.

All the food was packed in wooden boxes filled with red plums.

The clothes were wrapped in a small bag.

Nantong City is not far or near, so it would be faster for Yun Huachun to ride there by himself, without the mother and daughter seeing him off.

Yun Huachun tied the things on the saddle by himself, feeling a little nervous.

The county examination will start tomorrow. Yun Huachun has booked an inn in the city early in the morning and plans to take a night's rest and go directly to the examination.

"Let's see if there's anything missing?" Wan Hongmei said and checked again.

"That's enough, that's all."

This heavy box is full of food, and you can eat it for two more days.

Besides, soup and porridge will be given out in the examination room, so he won't starve to death.

"Okay, then you can go." Wan Hongmei retracted her hand and looked at her man.

Just leave like that?

Yun Huachun felt a little unspeakable melancholy in his heart for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you worried that you won't be able to pass the exam? If you fail, you can take the exam again next year."

Yun Huachun didn't say anything, but it wasn't because of this.

"Dad, I believe you can do it." Yuntao encouraged her father.

Yun Huachun touched his daughter's head and felt a little comfort in his heart.

Wan Hongmei curled her lips, "You are such an old man, what else do you want?"

Did she still think it was like when her daughter was taking exams when she was a child, waiting for her to comfort and encourage her?

"Then I'll go, you take care of my daughter."

"Don't worry!"

Yun Huachun reluctantly got on the horse, whipped it and walked towards Nantong City.

After a few hundred meters away from home, he turned around and saw a blurry red figure outside the house.

The Yun family is located on a high ground, and you can still see some things from a distance.

The clothes Wan Hongmei wore today were exactly the color of wintersweet.

Yun Huachun felt something suddenly drop in his heart, but it was even heavier.

Isn’t he just a talented person?

Even if he doesn’t take the test!

But if you pass the exam, you will be a real scholar, and you can make money to support your wife!

How could someone who has taken so many exams be afraid of this small county exam?

On the third day of staying in the examination room, Yun Huachun gathered up the thin quilt and rolled up his smelly clothes and left the examination room.

There were many people standing in the examination room, all waiting for their relatives who were taking the exam.

Yun Huachun counted the time in his mind, and dinner should have been prepared at home for him to go back to eat.

"Where are you looking? Where are you walking?" A familiar voice sounded in front of me.

Yun Huachun looked up and saw his wife.

Unlike other women who stood in the crowd and looked around, she got directly into his face.

"Did you fail the exam?" Wan Hongmei asked, looking worried at her husband's tired face.

Yun Huachun shook his head and explained, "No, why are you here? You didn't say you would come!"

I felt a little excited in my heart.

"Where is our daughter?"

"...I don't have time to send you off, but it's okay to pick you up. My daughter is cooking at home!"

Yun Tao, who was washing vegetables at home, suddenly sneezed.

Who missed her?

"How long have you been waiting? Are you tired?"

"It didn't take long. I asked Zhou Xiucai first, and he told me the time when the county examination would be completed. I rushed over here." Wan Hongmei said.

The couple chatted while walking. Unlike the happy or depressed candidates on the street, they were calm and loving.

After getting the carriage, the couple slowly drove the carriage back.

When Wan Hongmei went out in the afternoon, she told Yuntao to steam the rice and wash the vegetables. There was no need to fry the vegetables.

Yuntao repeatedly said that she knew how to cook and that her mother could come back to eat with peace of mind, but in the end Wan Hongmei refused.

Baozi Youtiao heard the noise earlier than Yun Tao, and ran out to meet it, barking.

Yuntao hurried out and saw her parents unbridling the horse and taking things out of the carriage in a tacit understanding.

"Mom and Dad, you are back!"

"Dad, are you tired? Let me help you." Yuntao stepped forward happily and wanted to help her father.

"No, you can rest." Yun Huachun held the baggage in his arms.

The couple was busy for a while and then went to the kitchen again.

"Mom, let me help you make a fire and cook!"

"I'll do it!"

Yun Huachun said, entering the kitchen first.

Yuntao looked at the small bench that usually belonged to her for burning fires and was occupied by others. She stood there for a while and understood.

She is always the one who is superfluous, it is time to leave here.

After Yun Huachun no longer had to stay in the study room reading, he was busy with Wan Hongmei inside and outside every day, which made Yuntao feel helpless.

The grounds at home were taken care of and the account books were taken care of. She could still do kitchen work before.

But who would have thought that after her father became a scholar, he would become the family's chef.

Cooking every day, changing the tricks, Wan Hongmei became the one who started the fire.

Fortunately, the school is slowly being built.

Finally, Yun Huachun is accepting students, and Yuntao has more things to do.

When the school was under construction, the Yun family sent several letters, one to the Jiang family and one to the capital.

By the way, he told the villagers that he was going to set up a school. If any son wanted to come to study, he could come to him and sign up.

As soon as the news spread, the villagers were in a state of excitement for a long time.

Yun Xiucai is accepting students!

That was something they had hoped for but did not dare to dream about!

If it were in the past, they would definitely have to think carefully about it, but now it is different, the family has money.

It is not a problem to send a few more children and grandchildren to study there.
Chapter completed!
