The villagers were dressed in colorful clothes, with red silk tied around their waists, and holding gongs, drums or suonas in their hands, as if they were celebrating the New Year.
"One, two, three, come again!"
"Dong - click click -"
Cheng Zhongqian closed his eyes and felt an invisible wind blowing across his cheeks. At the same time, he felt like his head was buzzing and his ears seemed to be going deaf.
Except for the cheerful Ling Bao, everyone has this symptom more or less.
The village chief smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight: "Mr. Cheng, we all know that you have passed the county examination, so we know that you can do it!"
Cheng Zhongqian's eyes slowly moved to the head of the village chief... The village chief was dark-skinned and simple. He wore a big red flower on his head. He didn't know where it was picked from, but it was still bright.
"Uncle Village Chief, you knew it so quickly?" Ling Bao asked.
The village chief nodded and said that a villager happened to be going to the county town. After hearing the news, he couldn't wait to come back to report the news. Then he quickly summoned the villagers just to give Cheng Zhongqian a surprise.
Cheng Zhongqian: "..." It's really a "surprise".
The village chief burst into tears as he spoke: "In the future, we will also have children in our village. Our ancestors bless us."
Cheng Zhongqian said: "I'm not a child student yet, there are still two exams."
The village chief didn't understand, so he waved his hand: "Come on, come on, Cheng Langjun, you can definitely do it."
Cheng Zhongqian burst into laughter, the villagers really trusted him blindly.
A villager pushed his child forward and said sheepishly: "Cheng Langjun, can you touch my child's head?"
What kind of weird request is this?
"I want him to get a little bit of your cleverness, maybe he can learn a few words in the future."
You can't be an official, but you can be something else.
"And us, and us!"
"Mr. Cheng, please touch my child as well!"
Everyone came up one after another, Ling Bao maintained order: "Don't be anxious, everyone, line up, don't be crowded, come one by one."
We lined up quickly and efficiently, and there was really no crowding at all.
Cheng Zhongqian was silent for a moment and said, "How about we go in first?"
After coming back for a quarter of an hour, I was forced to watch a song and dance and "sell my body", but I didn't even enter the village entrance.
The villagers hugged Lingbao and his family back, then lined up at the door, waiting to have their heads touched.
Ling Bao thoughtfully moved a chair and said, "Dad, sit down so you don't get tired."
Cheng Zhongqian: "...You should be filial."
Ling Bao puffed up his chest proudly and consciously acted as a commander: "Queue in line, don't crowd, be courteous."
There were two families who were fighting before and after hearing this and they were embarrassed to give in.
"You come, you come."
"No, no, no, you go first."
Lingbao nodded with satisfaction.
Sitting in front of his house, Cheng Zhongqian put his hand on the child's head expressionlessly like a puppet and rubbed it soullessly.
The child's parents took the child away happily, looking at the child's head as if they were looking at a golden bump.
I don’t know how long I kept touching it, but I felt like my hands were going to be bald. There were more than a dozen children behind me.
Cheng Zhongqian has never felt like now that there are too many people in Beihe Village.
"It's finally gone." Cheng Yi said, looking tired.
Cheng Zhongqian rolled his eyes at him, it was his turn to say this.
Cheng Zhongqian pinched his arm and went to rest.
He didn't know yet how outrageous this incident would be.
Two months later, during the government examination, the weather gradually turned cold again. This time Cheng Zhongqian performed very well and won the first position in the government case.
Another two months of backyard testing.
The academic examination is much stricter than the county examination and the government examination. The academic administration is appointed by the emperor. According to the regulations, when the prefect and prefect report relevant matters to the academic administration, they must be interviewed in public in the hall. They are not allowed to meet in private. They are not allowed to meet with the instructors and teachers without authorization.
Candidates.
Moreover, during the examination period, all the attendants of the academic administration are sealed in the examination room and are not allowed to leave. The examiners hired by the academic administration must be invited from five hundred miles away.
The college examination was held in the state capital, and Cheng Zhongqian originally planned to come alone, but Lingbao was worried about encountering an accident like Zhu Wencheng's again and insisted on coming with him, so this time a large family came.
Lingbao held his elder brother's hand and looked left and right curiously.
Now she has not only been to the county seat, but also to the state capital!
"Find an inn to stay first," Cheng Zhongqian said.
Huaifu took a step forward: "Second Master Cheng, I have sent someone to rent the house. We can just go there."
Cheng Zhongqian felt that this was too much of an advantage, but Huaifu said: "I am doing it for the sake of the prince. If you don't go, Lingbao won't go either, and the prince will naturally not go. Besides, there are people coming and going in the inn, how can you be quiet?"
Are you determined to study?"
In the end, reason prevailed.
The rented yard is not very big, but the advantage is that it is close to the examination shed, which can be reached within a quarter of an hour's walk, and there is a well in the yard, so there is no need to pay extra for water.
They arrived early, there were still ten days before the exam.
Cheng Zhongqian immersed himself in studying, while Cheng Yun took Lingbao and the other children out for shopping.
There were many things on the street that Ling Bao had never seen before. She looked around like a runaway pony.
Passing through a certain street, all the stalls here were surrounded by people.
Lingbao was so lively that I just squeezed in.
The stalls display some finely crafted ornaments such as jade ball lanterns, jade plum blossoms, and moths, as well as toys such as revolving lanterns and rattles, as well as food such as candies and pastries, and animals such as roosters and orioles.
things.
Everything you can imagine is here.
A young man squatted in front of the boss, threw ten copper coins in his hand into the earthen jar, stared at it closely, and shouted: "Pure! Pure! Pure!"
Lingbao couldn't understand and asked: "Brother, what are you doing? Is he calling others stupid?"
Cheng Yun couldn't laugh or cry: "No, they are in Guanpu. If the copper coins thrown in have more backs, he can buy what he likes at a very low price."
"What if there is less on the back?" Ling Bao asked.
"Then you'll get nothing." Cheng Yun said, "You'll have to pay the boss extra money."
Ling Bao said "Oh" as if he didn't understand.
The young man let out an annoyed "Ouch!" and cursed: "Another word!"
The back is "pure" and the front is "word".
Cheng Yun asked: "Do you want to play with Lingbao? Or if there is anything you want, big brother can go and try it."
Before Ling Bao could say anything, the king meowed sharply: "Ling Bao is not allowed to play! This is gambling. If gambling is not good, it will ruin your family and your family and leave your family! Some people will have their hands chopped off and their feet stamped on if they don't pay back the money!"
In later generations, gambling was expressly prohibited, and those who were caught would be jailed!
But in this era, it is not a heinous matter.
Lingbao was startled and shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, gambling is not good. If Lingbao doesn't play, big brother doesn't want to play either!"
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Ling Bao is so smart, he can see the essence of Guan Pu at a glance."
Ling Bao didn't even care about the praise anymore. He pushed his brothers out and touched his and his brothers' arms and legs one by one to feel relieved.
Great, no need to worry about it!
