Chapter 261 The Old Man Is Here (1)
At noon two days later, the two brothers left the examination room and came back together. Mrs. Li took the two sons and looked them up and down until she was sure that the two brothers Dalang Erlang had to be completely tailed, with a single strand of hair. They didn't fall, so they were willing to give up.

Lin Xiaoqiao could tell that the two elder brothers were a little tired. After all, the exam was very exhausting, and it was estimated that during the day and a half, they didn't eat well, nor did they sleep well.

So, she hurriedly asked her two elder brothers to take a bath and change their clothes, so as to get rid of the fatigue on their bodies and relax their bodies and minds.

After the two of them came out of the shower, Lin Xiaoqiao didn't rush to mention the exam, and let the two brothers sit down first, had a comfortable meal, and then asked them about the exam this time.

The two brothers Dalang and Erlang, after answering the exam papers, still felt a little hopeful that they could pass, because Chen Xuewen also mentioned some of the exam questions on the exam papers when he sorted them out for review.

But whether he can pass the exam or not depends on God's will. After all, this huge Anping Town only produces about a dozen scholars every year.

Because the Xiucai Exam is different from the Tongsheng Examination, reading and so on can be done directly in the county government. For the Xiucai Exam, all candidates' test papers have to be sent to the provincial government, and the examiners will uniformly mark the papers, and then rank them according to the results. A scholar who passed the exam.

Half a month later, the results of the exams came out, and the list of candidates who passed the exams in various counties and towns had also been handed down to the county magistrate.

Lin Xiaoqiao dragged his two elder brothers to the gate of the county government early, waiting for the list to be posted and the list of scholars who passed the exam this time.

Mrs. Li and others waited at home first, so that if a government servant came to announce the good news, there would be no one at home to respond.

There were a lot of people waiting to see the list in front of the county government office, and the crowd seemed very crowded. Lin Xiaoqiao struggled a lot to push his two elder brothers to the front.

This time the waiting time was not long, and as soon as the time came, an official came out and posted a list. There were not many names on the list, only a dozen or so.

Lin Xiaoqiao knew that the two of them didn't have such good luck. She could do things like Chen Xuewen and get the top spot. Her greatest hope was that as long as the two of them passed the exam, it would be fine. The name is also on the list.

Others read the list from the top to the bottom, but Lin Xiaoqiao started from the bottom, and planned to look for it carefully, but who knew that she was at the bottom of the list at a glance, and saw herself. The names of the two older brothers.

There are two lines of big characters written on it: No. [-], Lin Hai; No. [-], Lin Jiang.

Although he was one or two from the bottom, he still won. After checking it carefully, Lin Xiaoqiao wanted to turn around and share the joy with his two brothers.

After Dalang and Erlang saw the list, their inner joy and excitement were no less than Lin Xiaoqiao's, but when they saw their little sister's smiling face.

However, the two brothers chose to be calm by coincidence. Facing Lin Xiaoqiao's praise, they both appeared very humble and tried to be as calm as possible.

Lin Xiaoqiao looked at her two older brothers, obviously very excited and excited, but kept suppressing her emotions, very speechless.

The three brothers and sisters read the list and knew the result, so they squeezed out through the crowd, thinking of hurrying back to share the joyful news with their families.

"Huh—that Lin Hai, Lin Jiang, are they a pair of brothers? They passed the exam together this time!"

"It must be. Look at the name, it looks like two brothers. There are only fifteen places, and two of them have been taken by these two brothers."

"Their parents, if they heard the news, they would be overjoyed. It's a great blessing for the two sons to be admitted as a scholar together!"

Listening to these discussions, the three brothers and sisters of Lin Xiaoqiao became even more excited, especially Lin Xiaoqiao, looking at the two outstanding brothers beside him, his eyes couldn't help showing a hint of pride color.

The same is true for the two brothers Dalang Erlang. Although they tried their best to restrain their emotions, the corners of their mouths couldn't help but grinned. They didn't expect such a result.

Especially Da Lang, he thought that this time he was definitely useless. Originally, the two brothers' school days were not as long as other students, and judging from the usual situation, he has always been in the school. No younger brother has talent, so this time in his heart, he just hoped that Erlang could pass the exam, which is already very good.

Unexpectedly, he himself was lucky enough to pass the exam. Although he was the last one and ranked behind his younger brother, Da Lang already felt that such a result was a pleasant surprise among accidents.

Lin Xiaoqiao can naturally feel the excitement of her two elder brothers silently. Although the two of them only said some self-deprecating words from the beginning to the end, but from the faster and faster pace of the two of them, it is still impossible to see the excitement. Out of everything!

When the three brothers and sisters returned home, the gate of their own house was already open, and the road in front of the gate was also scattered with some remnants of firecrackers after they were set off.

It seems that the official mission to announce the good news should have already come, and the neighbors have also come to congratulate.

A few maidservants in Luzhu were busy running back and forth, and Mrs. Li was surrounded by a group of women at this time, with a smile on her face.

I don't know when, a few red lanterns were hung outside the house, Lin Xiaoqiao looked at the happy atmosphere everywhere in the courtyard, and had to praise, Uncle Lu's hands and feet are really fast enough.

After seeing off the neighbors and neighbors who came to congratulate, Lin Xiaoqiao's family closed the door again, and the whole family was excited and excited for a long time.

Such a happy event was the first one experienced by Lin Xiaoqiao's family after the separation, and everyone seemed very happy.

Especially Mrs. Li, crying and laughing while holding her two sons in her arms, calmed down after going crazy.

In order to celebrate, in addition to the joy of her own family, Widow Zheng also gave thick red envelopes to several servants and the guys in the shop. smile.

In the afternoon of that day, Mrs. Li asked Lin Erniu to go to her mother's house to announce the good news. In the evening, all Mr. Li's family came to congratulate his two grandchildren, even the little aunt who was pregnant and already had a big belly. Everyone happily celebrated this great event together.

The matter of the two brothers of the Lin family, Qi Zhongxiucai, under the joint discussion of Lin Xiaoqiao's family, did not celebrate in a big way, but the people close to him sat together, set up a banquet and toasted for a while.
