Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 409: Dressed as a Widow Without a Man (24)

On this day, Dunzi came back. He had to go to the provincial capital to take an exam in a few days, so the teacher gave them a holiday and prepared to leave for the provincial capital early.

In the previous Tongsheng exam, three students from their class passed.

This time when we went to the provincial capital, there were two other people who guaranteed each other, and they were also Mr. Liu’s former students.

The five of them would go to Mr. Liu's private school together, but only another one named Yin Junkai and Xu Zhexing had cars.

Yin Junkai's family is rich, so he directly stated that he would send someone to drive two cars and there would definitely be enough space for everyone to stay.

He also invited several other classmates to sit in his yard.

The other two agreed, but Xu Zhexing refused because he knew that his mother would definitely go with them.

Then it’s a bit inconvenient to live in someone else’s yard.

So everyone decided to go a few days earlier.

That day, Shuangshuang handed the house over to Xu Dahai and Niuniu again.

You Cai drove to the town to meet up with some classmates.

When several classmates saw that Xu Zhexing not only brought his two cousins but also his mother, they all quickly straightened their clothes and bowed respectfully to Huanyan.

Shuangshuang naturally did not accept their full respect. As long as they passed the exam, they could all be called masters.

I quickly returned a weird gift.

Fortunately, except for Yin Junkai, the other classmates' families are not well-off, so they don't mind that Huan Yanhui's gift is not very standard.

It takes four days to drive a horse carriage from their town to the provincial capital.

The person that Yin Junkai brought with him was probably his father's right-hand man. He had made clear arrangements for where to hunt and where to stay every day.

The main thing was that he paid for everything. Huanyan originally wanted to give the money, but when she saw that the other three classmates were wearing worn-out clothes, she didn't say anything.

I think it must be Yin Junkai who deliberately does this to help some classmates. It is better not to interfere. As for the favor I owe him, Dunzi can coordinate it.

After a smooth journey to the provincial capital, Yin Junkai took three other classmates to his home.

Shuangshuang asked Cailai directly to drive the carriage to Hongyun Tower.

This was what the shopkeeper told her when she went to Hongyun Tower to deliver the prey.

It is said that their young master knew that Xu Zhexing was coming to the provincial capital to take part in the provincial examination, so he vacated a small building in the backyard of Hongyun Building in advance for Huanyan's family to live in.

Shuangshuang didn't think there was anything wrong with this. After all, Duan Ruichen, the owner of Hongyun Tower, still owed her 300 gold.

Shuangshuang even thought that if she could meet Duan Ruichen this time, she would definitely get back the gold he owed her.

Things are only reliable if they are in your own hands. Who knows that once he gets better, he will cheat and refuse to give them to you?

However, I don’t know whether Duan Ruichen was not well or was delayed due to other things. Anyway, he didn’t meet him after Xu Zhexing finished the exam.

Everything went well for Xu Zhexing's exam, and after the exam, the group went back without stopping.

After a while, county officials came to Xujia Village with drums and gongs to announce the good news.

The officials first went to the village. When the villagers heard that Xu Zhexing had ranked third in the exam this time, they excitedly walked in front of the officials to lead the way for him.

Even the old patriarch, supported by his grandson, walked tremblingly with the officials to Shuangshuang's home.

When the officials came to the door, they kept saying congratulations to the young scholar and spoke kindly without asking for money.

Shuangshuang was very generous to the two officials who came to report the good news. He gave each of them a reward of one string of coins. He also gave each of the people outside who were playing music a string of coins.

The two officers were overjoyed!

When people were sent to announce the good news, no one in Xujia Village was willing to come, so they pushed the two rookies out.

Everyone was only willing to go to the town, perhaps to a wealthy country family to announce the good news.

Most of the poor scholar families in the village think that their trip is in vain. Even if it is not in vain, a few copper coins as a tip is the best they can hope for.

Therefore, even this gong and drum team was invited after some effort on their part.

After congratulating each other again, the group left happily.

After the officials left, the village chief proposed to open the ancestral hall to hold a banquet to celebrate, but was stopped by Shuangshuang.

"Clan leader, fellow elders, Dunzi has just started his imperial examination. Can we talk about this after he passes the exam and becomes a scholar?

As for celebrating, we can just get together as a family and have fun. There's really no need to make such a big fuss."

The patriarch stroked his beard, thinking that Shuangshuang was right, so he temporarily gave up the idea.

The next step was the academy examination, and Dunzi officially became a student and could go to Jingyou Academy in the provincial capital to study.

This time, the clan leader and the village chief did not even ask Shuangshuang, but directly decided to open the ancestral hall and hold a grand banquet in the hall.

Shuangshuang was thinking of going to the mountain in person to tell the good news to her old father at home and make them happy too.

As a result, before she could go back, her old father Qi Dazhuang came out with some blessings and fortunes.

They had been calculating the time, thinking that Dunzi would soon produce results, so Qi Dazhuang led his men out directly.

Also coming out this time were Niu Niu's two brothers and Shuangshuang's mother Xu Xiaocao.

Even though her mother had lived in the mountains for so many years, her father had never been willing to let her exercise. Therefore, given her physical strength, it was almost always Qi Dazhuang and several of his sons who took turns carrying her out of the mountains.

This is also the reason why Xu Xiaocao is not very willing to come out. It is too troublesome.

If there weren't so many sons and grandchildren, wouldn't they be exhausted if they all took turns carrying him?

Of course, there is another person named Bonnie who can enjoy the same treatment as Xu Xiaocao.

The banquet was lively all day long.

Master Liu, brought all of Dunzi's classmates here early.

This time he was full of energy and vigor, and even walked with the wind.

Because this time not only Dunzi passed the exam, but also Yin Junkai passed the exam.

For a time, the story of Master Liu, a scholar who taught two other scholars, spread.

Now his place is crowded with guests every day. It turns out that those parents all want to send their children to study here.

However, Master Liu was also preparing to take part in the autumn examination in the second half of the year, so he did not agree.

The two restaurants in the town and several vendors also sent generous gifts, and even the gentry in the nearby area came with expensive gifts.

Shuangshuang found it very strange, "Isn't it said that poor scholars make rich candidates?"

Generally speaking, these people will not invest in advance unless they pass the imperial examination.

Little Orange disagreed, "Of course other scholars don't think highly of it, but Dunzi, who passed the exam at the age of 12, is very worthy of everyone's praise.

Moreover, these wealthy gentry had their own ulterior motives. They all thought that this little scholar, who was only 12 years old, was a perfect match for one of the girls in their family.

If we marry our daughter to him, wouldn't this scholar be the same as if he were raised by our family?"
