Song Fuxin glanced at Song Tuanyuan and whispered: "Mom, if I can't even pass the exam..."
"I will definitely pass the exam, maybe it's just like what Lu Zhaoen said, but the news hasn't been sent yet, it's on the way!" Song Tuanyuan said.
Song Fujin lowered his eyes and clenched his fingers.
Song Tuanyuan saw Song Fuxin's nervousness and felt bad about it. She just asked Qiu Yucheng and Lu Zhaoen to accompany him while she went to make some food for the children.
Song Fuxin sat blankly in front of the window. He didn't take anything in mind what Qiu Yucheng and Lu Zhaoen said, and his mind went blank.
Qiu Yucheng and Lu Zhaoen lived in the Song family and talked with Song Fuxin every day.
Soon, the news that Song Fujin had failed the examination spread in Songjia Village. In front of the Songjia house, there were always some good people looking around.
"Go away, what are you looking at?" Sister-in-law He came out of the door, holding a child in her arms, and spat at the troublemakers, "As if the affairs of your own family are innocent, are you still watching other people's jokes?"
Sister-in-law He glanced at the Song family, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and called the door.
Song Tuanyuan glanced outside, unwilling to open the door, and pretended not to hear.
Seeing that no one opened the door, Sister-in-law He finally leaned on the wall of her home and called Aunt Song loudly.
Song Tuanyuan had no choice but to go out.
"Aunt Song, why don't you go and reread Fuxin?" Sister-in-law He asked.
Song Tuanyuan frowned: "What are you going to read again? Who said my family failed the exam? The news hasn't been sent yet!"
Sister-in-law He was stunned for a moment and said: "Ms. Song, I know how you feel, but today I went to the town to deliver goods and heard someone say that there are two people in our town who have won the election, and they have all been notified by the Yamen. I feel
Regarding your family fortune, maybe... Of course, the invigilator is blind. Your family has such a good academic record that he couldn't even pass the exam, and he doesn't know who got it!"
As soon as Sister-in-law He finished speaking, Qiu Yucheng and Lu Zhaoen came out of the house.
Sister-in-law He had long heard that two people had come to the Song family, both of whom were friends of Song Fuxin. When she saw it, she couldn't help but say, "These are Fuxin's friends. Oh my, they are so talented!"
Qiu Yucheng couldn't help but said: "Sister-in-law, look at it. We are all candidates for civil service examination. People like us are the ones who have passed the Imperial Examination! Also, don't worry, Fuxin will definitely pass the examination. This messenger
Must be on the way!"
Sister-in-law He was so embarrassed that she had no choice but to climb up the wall and hide without speaking.
Qiu Yucheng looked at Song Tuanyuan and said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Song, I have asked my family to go to the city government office to inquire. There will be news soon!"
Song Tuanyuan nodded and was about to say something else when he heard loud gongs and drums and the sound of firecrackers outside the village.
Song Tuanyuan couldn't help but sigh, maybe someone got married today, but when Song Fuxin heard this voice, he might feel even sadder.
At this moment, Ergazi stumbled several times outside the door and ran in all of a sudden, covered in dirt.
Song Tuanyuan was startled and asked, "But is there something wrong with being a pornographic person?"
"It's not the yellow among people, it's the blessing of fortune. The blessing of fortune is the solution to the yuan!" Ergazi shouted.
Song Tuanyuan was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were filled with brilliance. Song Fu believed that he had been awarded the title of "Jie Yuan"? Didn't he fail?
When Lu Zhaoen and Qiu Yucheng heard this, one ran in to inform Song Fuxin, and the other went to ask Ergazi about the specific situation.
"That's right, the city government yamen personally sent people from the city government to Songjiacun to deliver the letter. Listen, these gongs and drums and firecrackers are blasting, they are here to deliver the letter!" Ergazi shouted loudly.
Song Tuanyuan was startled, and her eyes became wet for some reason. She quickly sniffed, retracted her emotions, and followed Ergazi to take a look.
At the entrance of the village, Mr. Zhang from the Yamen was sitting on a tall horse, holding a red paper envelope in his hand. Behind him, someone was setting off firecrackers and beating gongs and drums, which was very lively.
"The Song family is here!" someone shouted.
Song Tuanyuan followed Ergazi to the front of Zhang Captou.
Zhang Captou said with a smile: "Doctor Song, congratulations to you, your second son has become successful and passed the exam!"
Song Tuanyuan asked: "Is it really the number one Jie Yuan?"
In his previous life, Song Fuxin only made it into the third list, not even the top list!
"There won't be any lies!" Zhang Captou said, he looked respectfully at a man wearing a black official uniform next to him, and whispered: "Sir, can you personally announce it?"
Only then did Song Tuanyuan realize that there was a young man in his twenties standing in front of Mr. Zhang. She took a look at him and thought he looked familiar, and suddenly her eyes widened.
Isn't this the noble man who followed Old Man Hao for treatment that time? Hao Lixian said last time that this person's identity was King Cheng!
Why is King Cheng here?
At this time, Lu Zhaoen and Qiu Yucheng also accompanied Song Fuxin, and the three of them stood in front of the man.
King Cheng opened the big red document and read loudly: "Song Fuxin, the top name in Taiping City in high school is Jie Yuan!"
When King Cheng shouted out, Song Fuxin's tears suddenly rolled down.
These days, he has been living like a year. He has been studying well since he was a child, and he was selected as a scholar at the age of thirteen. He is the youngest scholar in Shiliba Village. He also grew up with people praising him all the time. Song Fujin never thought that he would fail the examination.
of that day.
During this period, he thought he had failed, thought about many possibilities, and sharpened his mind.
Now that happiness suddenly came to him, although he was excited, he quickly corrected his emotions, held back his tears, raised his eyes and looked at King Cheng calmly and generously: "Thank you, sir!"
King Cheng looked at Song Fujin with a smile: "I read the article you wrote, it is indeed good!"
King Cheng looked at Song Tuanyuan again: "Why don't you invite me to sit at home?"
Song Tuanyuan quickly led the way.
At the Song family, King Cheng sat down.
Song Tuanyuan hesitated for a moment, and prepared ten taels of silver for King Cheng in accordance with the rules of giving away rankings.
King Cheng looked at the silver and said with a smile: "It seems that Doctor Song made a lot of money this year. He made ten taels at a time, which is very generous!"
Song Tuanyuan said: "I know that noble people look down on these ten taels of silver, but this is the rule, just buy wine for the brothers!"
King Cheng nodded and asked Zhang to stop.
Zhang Captou hurriedly accepted it and led the people out.
Song Tuanyuan was stunned for a moment and looked at King Cheng.
"You can also ask your children to step back. I have something to tell you!" King Cheng said, "It's something other than solving the Yuan!"
Song Tuanyuan glanced at King Cheng's legs and nodded.
She had just observed when King Cheng was walking, and found that the injury on King Cheng's leg had indeed recurred again, and this time it was much worse than last time.
King Cheng had been sitting on horseback until he reached the door of the Song family, and then he dismounted and entered the main room.
Just these few steps in the courtyard made it difficult for King Cheng to walk.
"Do you know my true identity?" King Cheng asked.
Song Tuanyuan lowered his eyes: "I didn't know it at first, but I found out later!"
