Chapter 73
After going back, the four of them had a full meal, and then began to write silently, and wrote down the paper silently. Wenwen took the paper and went to Lin's house, asking the uncle to take a look, who among them had the hope of passing the exam.

The four children fell asleep after taking a bath, and did not get up until the next morning, waking up hungry.

Fortunately, Wenwen has supernatural water to bless everyone. They are just very tired, but there is nothing wrong with their bodies. The two years of hard work have not been in vain.

Tongsheng and Xiucai were the first to release the list. All four children from Wangjiacun were on the list and passed the exam. Zhou Hui ranked first, and the remaining three were also in the top ten.

When the patriarch saw the official who announced the good news, he burst into tears, and everyone who was happy trembled.

On the third day, Wang Yi and the third child brought Yu Geng back to the courtyard of the county seat, where they saw the patriarch and the old lady.

Wang Yi and Yu Geng knelt on the futon and kowtowed to the two old men, "Second uncle, mother, we have passed the exam."

Wang Yi was also a little teary with excitement. God knows how difficult it is for him to take the exam at this age.

"real……"

The patriarch stood up immediately, his eyes glowing.

Old Mrs. Wang's face was covered with tears, and she was sobbing sobbing while covering her face.

"Father, really, the officials who announce the good news will come to the house to announce the good news. Yu Geng is No. 1, and the fourth brother is No. 2. Really, how dare you lie to me."

The youngest announced the good news with joy.

The boss didn't come back, and there were relatives at the other end of the Lin family, as well as the business guests of the shop, who needed to socialize. Wang Yi and the others came back first, because they wanted to worship their ancestors.

"Father, congratulations. Brother Geng, congratulations, you are amazing!"

Wenwen's eyes are full of bright light, proud of her father.

It is also a huge test for the old man to go back to school for the exam in middle age.

"Uncle, Brother Yu, congratulations, you are amazing."

Everyone gathered around them and congratulated them.

"Go back to the village, worship your ancestors, comfort your ancestors, and offer incense to your father."

Mrs. Wang trembled for a long time before she said such a sentence.

"Ai!"

Lin Yan, the boss of the Lin family, came to congratulate him with a gift, saying that the Lin family was the host and invited them to a feast.

Wang Yi's attitude was still humble and polite, "Big cousin, I would like to pay homage to you. If you hadn't pointed me out this time, I might not have passed the exam."

"My relatives, why are you polite, do you have any plans for the future?"

"I have to go back to the village to worship the ancestors first, and offer incense sticks to my father."

"It should be, like this, remember to come here when you are done with your work. I have invited the county magistrate to have a meal together, so you can bring Yu Geng with you."

"Big cousin, I'm just raising people, is it suitable? I still have to study and continue to take the exam."

"Of course, we still need to meet each other. For the sake of Wangjiacun, you also have to deal with the county magistrate. By the way, you also need to teach Yu Geng how to deal with people."

"Yes, then I will listen to you."

After explaining the matter, he gave a gift and drank a cup of tea with the patriarch, and had a good talk before Lin Yan left.

Only by becoming a juren can Wang Yi and Wangjiacun have more value, and it is worthwhile for others to sit down and have a glass of wine with you.

"Go back to the village to worship the ancestors."

"Yes."

Yu Geng was younger, three years older than Zhou Hui, and Juren, who was only 12 years old, received more attention than Wang Yi.

"I'll take you to see the county magistrate later."

"Yes, I listen to fourth uncle."

Yu Geng acted calmly, and Wang Yi nodded in satisfaction.

"What's on your mind next?"

Wang Yi had the idea of ​​taking Yu Geng's exam.

"Second Grandpa told me a long time ago that a young genius is not a good reputation. I plan to study quietly and wait until I am [-] to take the exam. I will be confident in preparing for a few more years."

Yu Geng doesn't plan to take the route of genius, and he won't take the exam for the next three years, and studying hard is the right way.

"Well, I am very pleased that you think so. You are still young and you have more opportunities. Even if you are the number one scholar, it is useless to go to the capital. The emperor will not reuse you, because you are too young to be reused by everyone. Here you are." What kind of work can you do well with absolute certainty?"

"Yes, I listen to the elders."

Yu Geng smiled and nodded, his eyes clear.

After the excitement, the family returned to the village. Wang Yi politely declined the kindness of the academy classmates to invite him to drink, saying that he would go home to worship the ancestors first, and everyone understood.

This time, Wangjia Village has made a big splash. Not only are there four Tongsheng, but also two Juren. Their grades are particularly good, and they have attracted the attention of some farming and studying families.

The ancestor worship ceremony was very solemn and grand. All the men, women and children in the village stood in their own positions. The positions of men and women were different. They could not run around, which would make people laugh.

The patriarch led the whole village to pay respects to the ancestors of the Wang family, and at the same time went to visit the cemetery where Yu Geng's parents lived.

The last was to sweep the grave of Wang Yi's grandfather and father, led by the patriarch. They were two brothers from the same family, so they naturally worshiped their ancestors together.

The boss also rushed back in time, and worshiped the ancestors with the whole family.

After worshiping the ancestors, Wang Yi took Yu Geng to visit Lin's house alone. This time, he had a drink with the county magistrate. Faced with the county magistrate's suggestion, Wang Yi euphemistically expressed that he wanted to make further progress in fame.

The county magistrate knew that he had no intention of interfering in the affairs of the county government, so he also encouraged him.

After having a drink with the county magistrate, Wang Yi took Yu Geng to a few classmates' receptions, allowing Yu Geng to experience the wine table culture.

But three days later, Yu Geng proposed that he wanted to go back to the village to study. He had already spent a lot of money on drinking all day long, and it would be nothing to waste his studies.

He didn't like so many people praising him as a young genius. What the hell is it that the prosperity of Wangjia Village depends on himself in the future.

Yu Geng was a child who had suffered a lot, and he matured very precociously. This kind of praise made him restless. The prosperity of Wangjia Village depends on the unity and dedication of the whole village, not on him.

Only then did Wang Yi smile, "Very well, I am relieved that you are so sober. We will return to the village tomorrow."

"Hey, I can finally go home."

Yu Geng is still a half-grown child, and he doesn't like the wine table culture of adults at all. He even wants to go back to the village to play with Daniel Zhou and the others. What's so good about that wine?

When Yu Geng heard that he could go home, he happily went to pack his things, which made Wang Yi laugh.

Wang Yi took his children back to the village, and went back on the excuse that there were still many things to worry about at home. At this moment, he didn't need too much praise, but he needed to settle down and make his next step more stable.

The Lin family silently observed Wang Yi's actions and appreciated his calmness and sobriety.

The Wang family had two candidates, which was a major event for Guangzong Yaozu. With the addition of those two county magistrates, Wangjiacun really changed its status and became a prominent family of farming and studying.

Juren are eligible to participate in the affairs of the county magistrate's yamen. Juren can exempt 30 mu of land and be rewarded with [-] taels of silver. Scholars are much lower than this level.

Juren can apply for an official position, and if he has connections, he can be a county magistrate's clerk.

For the local county magistrate, his clerk is juren, but he is not qualified to be a clerk because he can read and write.

Wang Yi asked the housekeeper to buy another dozens of acres of land, and promised Zhou Hui the top three children in the examination, and rewarded him with land, which was naturally to be done.
