Chapter 285 Preparing for the Academy Examination

Huangjia Village.
At this time, Funiuling is like an oil painting-like fairy tale world.
Rolling mountains, majestic terraced fields, colorful and beautiful flowers...
The clouds and mist linger in Funiu Ridge like fairy spirit, forming a unique landscape.
Under the organization of Huang Tinghui and the command of the old patriarch, many terraces were opened in the Funiuling area.
These terraces are built according to the mountains, winding from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, layer upon layer, staggered at different heights, and are picturesque and poetic.
The golden grains hanging down in the rice fields and the plump ears of rice mean that this year is a good harvest.
Near the terraces, patches of colorful flowers stretch into a sea.
The sea of ​​​​flowers blown by the wind, the swaying flowers are like a grand dance, stunning and gorgeous.
Huang Tinghui looked at the breathtakingly beautiful scene and felt relaxed and happy.
On the path leading to the outside of Huangjia Village, there are many oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages traveling along them.
Most of the oxcarts and carriages contained some fine wine brewed by Huangjiacun. These fine wines were made by Huang Tinghui using the most advanced brewing technology. They can be said to be extremely popular in the state capital and other places.
Therefore, the daily sales of these fine wines are huge. During this time, Huangjiacun has been living more and more prosperously by relying on the business of selling fine wines.
In addition to the fine wine business, duck and pork are also extremely popular.
Under the organization of the old patriarch, several well-known chefs were hired with huge sums of money.
But the purpose is not to improve the food for Huangjiacun, but to provide more ways to cook duck and pork in Huangjiacun.
According to the old patriarch, they are no longer satisfied with being just a duck and pork supplier.
During Huang Tinghui's time in Huangjia Village, the changes in the entire Huangjia Village can be said to be particularly great.
Huangjiacun's ability to generate wealth is inseparable from Huang Tinghui's tinkering during this period.
However, Huang Tinghui naturally would not stay in Huangjiacun forever. After all, he still had to take the imperial examination.
Now that the college examination is approaching, Huang Tinghui has already packed his bags and is preparing to go to the state capital to participate in the college examination.
For Huang Tinghui, he only needs to pass the academy examination and he will be fully qualified as a scholar.
At that time, Huang Tinghui may be considered to have passed a small threshold of the imperial examination.
The so-called college examination is an examination conducted by the academic administration of each state government.
Because the academic administration is also called the Admiral College, and the academic officials in each state are called Ti Xuedao, so the college examination is also called the "Tao Examination".
Dasheng Kingdom followed the specifications of the previous dynasty, and all children admitted through the prefectural examination could participate. The procedures for registration, filling in resumes, and local student guarantees were slightly the same as those for the prefectural examination and the county examination.
However, there are two college examinations and two college examinations within three years, and the content of the examination is roughly the same as that of the prefecture and county examinations.
Among the imperial examinations in Dasheng, the county examination is usually held in February every year, the government examination is usually held in April, and the college examination is held twice within three years, usually in August.
However, this year's situation is quite special. For some reasons, it was not until around October that the state capitals announced the holding of academic examinations.
Huang Tinghui also received the news that the college examination was about to be held, so he hurriedly packed his bags and prepared to rush to Hangcheng Mansion.
"Brother Hui, where are you going?" Huang Tinghui sat on Uncle Liu's carriage. People along the way saw Huang Tinghui and Uncle Liu sitting side by side and greeted Huang Tinghui one after another.
"Go to Hangcheng Mansion and take the college examination!" Huang Tinghui greeted the man and responded with great enthusiasm.
If we talk about the former Huang Tinghui, he was definitely a character that was annoying to everyone. After all, the former Huang Tinghui was definitely a "bastard". As long as someone saw the bastard Huang Tinghui, they would definitely choose to avoid it.
How could they greet Huang Tinghui like they do now?
However, Huang Tinghui is different from the past. Not to mention that he is about to take the college examination. If he passes, he will be a proper "scholar".
Not to mention Huang Tinghui's status as a scholar, but Huang Tinghui's "favor" for bringing Huangjia Village to make a fortune these days, everyone's attitude towards Huang Tinghui has also undergone a 180-degree turn.
Everyone is like this, so it is not difficult to understand everyone's enthusiasm for Huang Tinghui.
"Brother Hui, we are here to congratulate you in advance on passing the college examination and becoming the first scholar in our Huangjia Village!"
"Brother Hui, you are a very capable and well-known figure in our Huangjia Village. Take the exam well. If you pass the exam, we will definitely celebrate you."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Brother Hui is such an amazing person. If he can pass the exam, how can anyone say such nonsense? Brother Hui will definitely be on the gold medal list!"
"Yes, yes, yes, look at my mouth. I talk nonsense. Of course I can be named on the gold list. Brother Hui's talent is obvious to all. I can definitely be named on the gold list!"
Everyone stood aside and greeted Huang Tinghui eagerly.
They gave Huang Tinghui their most sincere blessings from the bottom of their hearts.
There isn't too much selfishness involved.
"Thank you for your kind words, Tinghui will work hard and strive for a spot on the gold list!" Huang Tinghui was talking to everyone, and the carriage gradually walked away on the trail.
"Brother Hui is such an amazing person. It's a pity that Brother Rong and his wife didn't see him today!" An old man looked at the carriage that was gradually going away. He said to the person next to him with emotion.
"But we can't say that. Brother Hui can change his past and become what he is now. Could it be that Brother Rong and his wife are under the protection of Jiuquan?"
"It makes sense. Brother Hui has changed so much. If we hadn't seen all this, who would have believed that that bastard back then would become what he is now."
"If my incompetent son can be half as successful as Brother Hui, my short life of ten years will be worth it!"
"Not to mention ten years, even twenty years is still worth it!"
Naturally, Huang Tinghui didn't know about everyone's comments and envy.
After getting off the carriage and saying goodbye to Uncle Liu, Huang Tinghui and Wu Feilian walked towards the dock.
Huang Tinghui originally planned to go to the state capital by car, but compared with taking a boat, the car ride was too bumpy.
Huang Tinghui didn't care, but he didn't want Lian'er to suffer with him.
"Husband, are we going directly to the state capital?" The little girl asked curiously while sitting on the boat.
“Even if you take a boat, it’s still quite a distance to the state capital!”
"My husband has already made a plan. When the time comes, I will take you to a place to stay!"
"After you have rested, my husband will take you to the state capital." Huang Tinghui touched the little girl's head and said very kindly.
"Dad, what fun place is there?"
Hearing what Huang Tinghui said, Lu Qiaosi immediately became energetic.
"It's just..." Huang Tinghui knelt down, pinched Lu Qiaosi's little face, and said, "It's just... dad didn't tell you..."
