Chương 114: Exam
"Okay, then we'll wait for the old man to treat us to dinner!"
"Yeah, yeah!"
After everyone had finished leaving, Old Man Lin asked: "Is it okay to put these fruit seedlings here?"
The old man replied: "Alright, later I'll have the White Wolf come over at night to keep an eye on it."
Old Man Lin asked: "Can they do it?"
"Of course they can, it's not like it's the second time they've been asked to look after something, so don't worry about it!"
Seeing the old man so sure, old man Lin also slightly relieved, followed the Xu family to go back, leaving behind the two white wolves and Xiaoba to watch over.
Xiaoba was willing to stay outside, which surprised Qibao. Normally, this guy wouldn't even go out. There were already several dogs in the village who were pursuing him and often came to him, but Xiaoba just didn't want to interact with them. Lazy and sleeping at home.
The other dogs in the village took a opportunity tonight, and followed them over, but Xiaoba stayed by the white wolf's side, and the other dogs didn't dare to go forward, and could only lie on the ground far away, looking at the side.
Everyone was very tired tonight, so they cooked some potato flour for dinner to satisfy their stomachs, packed up and went to bed and fell asleep.
Early in the morning, the workers came to work on time, and people from the village who came to help plant fruit seedlings also came.
It was the beginning of another busy day, and the foot of Daqing Mountain was bustling with activity. Children from the village also came to join in the fun, and there were sounds of playfulness everywhere.
Qibao looked at these children in the village, and an idea gradually grew in her mind, but she had to think about it in the long term.
When all the fruit seedlings were planted, the Xu family finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally poured some spiritual spring water to finish the work.
Looking at the original empty field, this time the ground is full of fruit seedlings, not to mention how happy they are, it will all be money from now on.
After two days, the foundation of the workshop has been dug, and the walls can be built tomorrow, which is one step closer to success.
It was Old Man Lin's first time managing, so he paid great attention to every little thing. Although he didn't need to do any physical work, he worried more than others.
Qibao was very satisfied. Details determine success or failure. Grandpa's personality is suitable for management. After getting to know him, he will definitely do better, so she felt relieved.
......
Until April, the Xu family workshop was still in full swing. During this period, shopkeepers Hong and Tong also visited the Xu family.
Shopkeeper Hong is here to give away the money for the pills. In the past few months, the Xu family has made tens of thousands of taels of money just from the pills. In addition to the barbecue restaurant and greenhouse vegetables, the Xu family's annual income is nearly two hundred thousand taels, which is a lot of money.
Today, her brothers returned, because her elder brother was going to participate in the examination and there were also other students from the academy who had signed up for it, and the village chief's grandson, Shitou, also participated in the examination.
The academy also took a three-day leave, so that the students who went to the exams could come back and prepare properly, and this year's student exams were held in Huamen Town, and were supervised by the magistrates and the two officials sent down by the government.
In the past two days, Mrs. Wang has cooked a lot of delicious food for her eldest brother, because he spends a lot of time studying every day, which is very taxing on his brain. Sometimes the village chief's Shitou will come over to discuss academic matters with her eldest brother.
The other brothers also know that they cannot disturb the eldest brother at this time, and they all make less noise while working and talking at home.
Until the afternoon before the exam, the old man personally took his eldest grandson and Qibao to the town, with Uncle Xu driving a carriage.
Arriving at the town's residence to settle down in advance, because the examinations only need to be taken for one day, so the Xu family is not worried.
Early the next morning, the old man got up early and took them out for breakfast. Qibao also specially brought the eldest brother a bamboo tube to mix the spiritual spring water. It looked just like ordinary water. Everything the candidates brought needed to be prepared. Once you check and make sure there is nothing wrong, you can enter the examination room.
The examination room is in a large courtyard dedicated to examinations next to the Yamen.
When Qibao, her grandfather, and her eldest uncle arrived at the entrance to the examination center, it was already crowded with people, all of whom had come to send their own children to take the exam.
It's not time yet, and all I hear in my ears is the sound of parents telling their children to do well on the exam, to bring honor to their family and so on...
Qibao didn't agree with saying this at this time, saying this at this time was undoubtedly just adding pressure to the already nervous candidates.
"Brother, are you here too?" Suddenly a voice came from behind.
The old man turned his head to see that it was the village chief with Shitou behind him greeting them.
"Yes, today is such an important day, of course I have to come!"
"Your family Wenwu will surely pass the exam, I often heard from Shitou that Wenwu is highly respected by the teacher at the academy, he will definitely do well!" The village chief said.
"Well, I hope my family's Wenwu and your family's Shitou can get good results in the exam!"
Xu Wenwu said: "Grandpa, Uncle Village Chief, I've seen the academy's teacher, I have to go over to my teacher now to gather, otherwise the teacher will definitely be worried when he sees that the eveyone aren't all there."
"Let's go together!" Shitou said.
"Okay, you go quickly, don't be too stressed, grandpa is waiting for you outside!"
Xu Wenwu and Shitou nodded and headed in the direction of their teacher.
After a while, candidates began to line up to enter the examination room. Two officers stood at the door. Each candidate's belongings had to be opened and inspected one by one, and they also had to search themselves.
Qibao thought, no wonder he came so early in the morning! It takes a lot of time to check so many candidates one by one!
After all the candidates had finished checking, the door to the examination room was closed as soon as the time came, leaving a group of parents waiting outside.
Lunch was served hastily at the stall next to the exam center.
It was not until late afternoon that the door to the examination room opened and candidates came out one after another.
Some had smiles on their faces, some were a bit depressed, and when Qibao saw her big brother, she saw that he didn't have any extra expression on his face, so she didn't know whether the exam was good or bad.
The old man also saw his eldest grandson coming out and quickly stepped forward and asked: "How is it?"
Xu Wenwu smiled lightly and said: "There should be no problem."
When Uncle Xu heard this, he immediately became happy, patted his son on the shoulder and said: "Yes, as long as you work hard, let's wait for the results to be released!"
At this time, the academy's teacher also walked over, and the Xu family members gave a respectful cupped fist salute towards the teacher.
This is the same Master Sun who accepted the children when they were sent to school.
Master Sun also knew the Xu family, so he signaled that there was no need to be polite and asked with a smile: "Wenwu, I wonder if you have a big grip this time?"
Xu Wenwu replied: "It's not a big problem. Students can basically answer the questions on today's test!"
The Master touched his short beard, nodded and said: "Well, yes, the dean is very optimistic about you. We all see your usual performance. I am already very optimistic about your results this time, so you don't need to be modest!"
At this time the other candidates in the Chunqiu Academy also came out, this time the academy had a total of ten or so references, the others were all candidates from other counties.
The old man said: "If you don't mind, I'll be the host today and invite you and Wenwu's fellow classmates to go to the Iron Triangle for barbecue, how's that?"
