Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 296
Lin Xiaoqiao hurriedly said to the two of them: "Come on! No matter what your grades are, if you persist in completing the test and answering the questions, you will have [-]% more hope than others. You must persist!"

The two brothers Dalang Erlang also hurriedly cheered for the two senior brothers: "Brother Xuewen, brother Haojie, come on!"

Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie followed again, and the team took a big step forward. The two had already entered the area of ​​'no admission to non-candidates'. At this time, the three brothers and sisters Lin Xiaoqiao could no longer stand next to the team.

They could only retreat to the back and watch the two of them accept the inspection by the officials. Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie's inspection went smoothly. Before they entered the examination room, they turned their heads and smiled at the three brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao. .

"We two brothers will have to experience this kind of scene in two years." Da Lang looked at the backs of these candidates and muttered to himself.

"Oh—I hope Brother Xuewen and Brother Haojie can get through this smoothly." Erlang also expressed his emotion.

Lin Xiaoqiao heard the words of the two brothers, turned his head to look at them, and said firmly: "So, from today on, you two must get up half an hour early every day for running and exercising. Only in this way can we develop a good body and bones, so as not to faint in the examination room two years later."

"Ah—little sister, are you serious? Since I entered the academy, I have slept very little every day, and I have to do my homework very late at night. I have to get up half an hour earlier in the morning. This summer is fine. Some, in winter, the weather is so cold, how can I get up." Erlang said resentfully.

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoqiao looked at his second elder brother with contempt, and said with a firm expression, "From tomorrow onwards, I will tell Aunt Ping to call her every morning. Wake you up, and then get up and run, you take it as a compulsory homework every day. Regardless of the severe cold or hot summer, you must remember to persevere, this is also a kind of test! Today's time has passed, so I will come back from school at night Make it up! Now, I finally understand the truth that if you don't have a strong body, no matter how well you read, it's useless!"

After finishing speaking, Lin Xiaoqiao turned around and walked towards his own carriage, and the two brothers Dalang Erlang followed quickly.

"That's right, that's right, my little sister is doing it for our own good. Starting tomorrow, my elder brother will definitely get up and run for exercise." Da Lang said to Lin Xiaoqiao completely ignoring his younger brother's frowning expression.

Lin Xiaoqiao climbed into the carriage, smiled at his eldest brother in satisfaction, then continued to disdain Erlang: "Second brother is really worthless, he can't do such a small thing, it's really shameful!"

After being stimulated by this, Erlang said hurriedly and unconvinced: "Who says I can't do it! I'm just complaining a little bit!"

Since then, the two brothers have really started to run for half an hour every morning, regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter, and they have persisted.

With such persistence, the two brothers' bodies and bones have also become stronger and stronger through exercise, and there are almost no minor illnesses and pains on weekdays.

After returning home, he waited day after day until nine days later, Lin Xiaoqiao waited outside the gate of the Gong Yuan again, and received Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie who looked tired and nearly collapsed.

When the two walked out of the examination room, they almost fell to the ground. It was the first time Lin Xiaoqiao saw Chen Xuewen's frightening expression.

After going through several days of exams, the two of them didn't even have the strength to get on the carriage, and it was the steward Ping who supported them to climb up.

Sitting on the carriage home, Chen Xuewen and Lu Haojie fell asleep leaning against the wall of the carriage without saying a few words.

Lin Xiaoqiao saw them in a state of distress and tiredness, so he sat quietly by the side without making a sound.

When they reached the door, the two were still in a deep sleep. Both Mrs. Li and Widow Zheng said not to wake them up, so Housekeeper Ping and Lin Erniu worked together to get them out of the carriage and carried them directly to their respective rooms.

The two of them slept for a day and a night before waking up, and the next thing is to wait for the result...

"Crackling——" With the exploding of the red firecrackers, everyone finally heard the sound of good news.

"Happy news——Chen Xuewen, Mr. Chen passed the exam, eight candidates." The official who announced the good news, beating gongs and drums, shouted from a distance in a long tone.

The surrounding neighbors watched the officials arrive, and outside the gate of the Lin family, they also followed, and the voices of congratulations continued...

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Congratulations to Mr. Chen, a high school candidate!"

"Congratulations, brother Xuewen, for successfully passing the Juren examination!"

Congratulatory voices, both familiar and unknown, rang out one after another outside the gate of the Lin family.

Butler Ping greeted the officials with a smile on his face: "Master, please come inside quickly, and have a cup of tea first."

"Congratulations, congratulations! The tea is free, and my brothers are going to go home, thank you!" The leader of the officials clasped their hands and congratulated Lin Xiaoqiao's family.

Hearing this, Steward Ping understood the meaning immediately, and quickly took out ten taels of silver from his pocket, put it in the hands of the official, and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard, it's just a small matter, all the poor When you have free time, drink tea."

The officer shook the money in his hands, and the smile on his face became more sincere: "It's easy to say, easy to say! Let me first congratulate Chen Xuewen, Mr. Chen, that he will be named on the gold list next spring. When the time comes, we brothers must come to the door Come and ask for a wedding drink."

"Definitely, definitely!" Steward Ping was quite familiar with these officials when they dealt with each other.

"Then, let's stop bothering, the other family is still waiting for us to announce the good news!" The official took out a letter-like document from his arms, handed it to Steward Ping, and then led several other officials , got on his horse and left.

Butler Ping took the document and handed it to Chen Xuewen. Lin Xiaoqiao took it over and took a look. He thought it was something good, but it turned out to be just a report card.

Da Lang and Er Lang also took the documents one after another, and looked at them carefully. Just such a piece of yellowed paper must be the dream of many students studying hard in poor windows.

"Little sister, don't use so much force, this document is very important." Da Lang watched Lin Xiaoqiao's random movement, and hurriedly reminded him.

"What's important? Don't we all know the above content? Why keep it?" Lin Xiaoqiao said disapprovingly.

"Little sister, I don't understand. Brother Xuewen is going to take this document next year and report to the Ministry of Rites to take part in the examination. If you don't have this, you won't even be eligible to enter the examination room!" Erlang hurriedly told himself I know, I said it.
