But with sharp eyes, he looked at the top of his brother's head and shouted in a milky voice, "Brother's head is red, he passed the exam!"

"Seriously?" The old man's hands were shaking with excitement and his face was red.

Tai Yongning quickly helped his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, I did pass the exam, but I was last on the list..."

The old man doesn't care about his rank, as long as he passes the exam.

"Oh, thanks to the blessings of our ancestors, our Yongning passed the exam, and our Yongning is now a scholar!"

The rest of the villagers were so nervous that they didn't dare to breathe, for fear of missing a word.

They only knew that Yongning was staying in Fucheng, and they thought they were traveling with their husband, but they never expected that he was actually taking the scholar examination!
"Really, really?"

"Does our Tai family have a scholar?"

"Quickly go find your third uncle and open an ancestral hall. You must open an ancestral hall!"

"There is smoke coming out of our Tai family's ancestral grave!"

Just when Yang Lihua came out of the yard, the village woman grabbed her and shouted loudly, "My step-grandfather's wife, look at it, your son is a scholar! Master Xiucai!"

Yang Lihua was so surprised that she stepped forward and grabbed Yongning's arm. She choked and wanted to say something, but she shed tears first.

She once thought that her son was going to be disabled and that it would be difficult to survive for the rest of his life.Unexpectedly, my son not only recovered, but would one day be admitted as a scholar and become a distinguished scholar.

God bless, ancestors bless!

Tai Yongning raised his hand to wipe his mother's tears, and his eyes were red. He tried his best to hold back his sadness and coaxed, "Mom, your son is a scholar, are you happy? Although he is the last one, my son saved three years. Years of work, the next time is to take the examination!"

Yang Lihua nodded vigorously after hearing this, "I'm happy, mom is happy! My son didn't stay up so many nights in vain, and he didn't suffer all that fatigue in vain. My son has worked hard."

Tai Yongfeng was on the side. He didn't hear the key point from Yongning for a long time. He jumped to his feet and shouted anxiously, "Auntie, you don't know that among Mr. Wu's four disciples, only Yongning was admitted to the scholar's examination. The remaining three young masters all failed. !
"Mr. Wu said that Yongning is lucky, and the essay he wrote just matched the examiner's temper! This time, there is only one rookie in our entire Tai'an County, Yongning!"

Tai Sanye almost lost his running shoes. When he heard his grandson's words, Le's beard exploded.

"Haha, seriously? Oh, our Yongning is number one in Tai'an!"

As he spoke, he held on to the old brother and refused to let go, "I'm telling you, Liu, this time we must open an ancestral hall and have a big banquet for guests! If you dare to talk about being low-key or modest, I will use my pipe and pot to grind it." You! We, Yongning, are so promising, we must publicize it!
"With a scholar like Yongning here, no one will dare to bully our Tai family anymore! You can hold your head high wherever you go, no need to be cautious! This is a great event, you don't care, I will pay for it and I will host the banquet !”

"Oh, oh, third brother, don't be excited!" The old man's half arm was on fire from being scratched by the old brother, and he couldn't help crying or laughing. "Before, Yongning took the exam as a boy student, which is really not worth showing off. Now he is a scholar, so of course he must celebrate it. For a moment. Let's prepare now and keep it safe so that everyone knows that there is a promising boy in our Tai family!"

"Haha, that's right!" Mr. Tai San finally let go of his old brother, and instead told all the young and old in the village, "Cheer up your spirits. Clean your own house and the roads in and outside the village for me in the past two days." Keep it clean, sprinkle it with water when it needs to be sprinkled, and keep the mat flat when it needs to be! We are preparing to host a banquet and prepare to entertain distinguished guests!
"This is a scholar who has only been born in our Tai family for many years. You must show it to me!"

"Yes, Patriarch!" All the villagers responded excitedly, as if they had been given a shot of blood. They wanted to find a broom and wave it away immediately.

Tai Yongning bent down and hugged his fat sister, and gave her a big kiss on the face.Zhuzhu giggled and kissed her brother back, "Second brother, all Zhuzhu's money will be used to buy pens and paper for you!"

"Okay, from now on, when my second brother takes the first prize and becomes an official, I will give you a box of money!" Tai Yongning did not reject his sister's intention and coaxed the fat girl to laugh so hard that her eyes narrowed into slits.

Mr. Tai greeted his eldest daughter-in-law, "This time we have to be more particular about banquets. After all, Yongning is a scholar, and our family is considered to be from a scholarly family. We don't understand the rules of banquets. You can handle it." Just don’t be underestimated, we can’t give Yong Ning face, at least don’t hold him back.”

"Don't worry, dad, I will write a charter tonight and show it to you and Sanbo. I'm afraid the banquet will be scheduled for three days later, not too early, because it has to be given to the Min family, Wu family, and several senior brothers' homes in Yongning in advance. Post it." Yang Lihua's mind has been wandering for a long time. It can be said that she has already had ideas on how to entertain guests.

The old man waved his hand, not intending to interfere at all, "Okay, you make the decision. Everyone will listen to your arrangements!"

At this point, it was decided that a banquet would be held in three days to celebrate the scholars in Yongning.

On the morning of the next day, the Tai family's carriage entered the city. Mr. Tai took Yongning to invite Mr. Wu in person, and then went to the Song family, Qi family and Teng family.

This exam was so sudden that it could almost be said that it was an impromptu decision by the court. Many students who were far away did not have the chance to rush to Fucheng. When more people heard the news, the exam had already started.

There are very few people like Yongning and others who stay directly in Fucheng to take exams one after another.

I have to praise Mr. Wu for his wide network of contacts and for securing good opportunities for his disciples.

Yongning also seized a good opportunity. Although the article he wrote was immature, his views were in line with the examiner's thoughts. In the end, he was put on the list and caught the tail of the scholar team.

Song Hui, Teng Yu and Qi Ming had better skills than Yong Ning, but they were a little less lucky. They could only save their experience and take the exam next time.

In fact, Mr. Wu didn't even expect that Yongning would break out of the siege. When he got the post, he smiled and told the old man that he wanted to take advantage of his disciple's good luck.

Regardless of whether it was jealousy or envy, the Song family, the Teng family, and the Qi family all showed respect to Yongning, a new talent. The heads of the three families said that they would definitely bring their children to the banquet to feel happy...

Yang Lihua took Zhuzhu and went to Min's house to post the post in person. By the way, she told Mrs. Min that the large embroidery was already finished.

Mrs. Min didn't go out, and the Tai family didn't have time to tell Manager Min. Of course, she, the mistress, didn't receive the news either.

Suddenly, she heard that the boy from the Tai family had gone to Fucheng, where Tong Sheng and Xiucai had passed by. She was also surprised, and secretly raised the Tai family's status in her heart.

At least when Yang Lihua said goodbye, Zhuzhu was stuffed with two boxes of snacks and a box of fresh toys, and was sent out the second door by Miss Min holding her hand.

The housekeeper who serves Mrs. Min is also called Mrs. Tai and Miss Tai, which is much more respectful than the usual "Sister-in-law Tai"...

Yang Lihua was as usual, neither humble nor overbearing, gentle and polite.

She doesn't blame the Min family for being like this, because everyone in the world is like this. It's rare not to be humbled. It's our nature to climb high!
Two days passed by in a flash, and everyone in Taijia Village was so busy that they wanted to hit them on the back of the head.There is no chicken manure in the yard of every household, no fallen leaves and weeds on the road, and I wish I had to dig out the mouse holes three times!
