When he got home, Daji took out the two silver ingots and handed them to his young master. Bai Shanbao waved his hand and said, "This is for you, just take it."
Daji responded and put the money away.
Zhou Lang went out to buy food, and Man Bao was squatting in the kitchen to boil water. Bai Erlang lazily dragged a broom over, handed it to Bai Shanbao and said, "Here, clean the yard quickly. The teacher said it's too wet in spring."
, Now that Qingming Festival has passed, we have to clean the house. It’s late today, so let’s sweep the yard first and then clean the house tomorrow.”
The two teenagers took brooms and walked around the yard in a perfunctory manner, even though they had cleaned it.
But their luck was not so good the next day. Mr. Zhuang was watching, and they couldn't be lazy anymore.
Zhou Lang borrowed two pairs of wooden barrels from someone unknown, and took Daji directly to fetch water. Manbao and the other two tied up their hair, covered their mouths and noses, and then began to carry rags inside and outside the house.
of cleaning up.
They had simply cleaned it when they moved in before. After the humid spring, there were many places where dirt and grime were hiding in the house.
Especially the back and bottom of the cabinet, as well as the inside and under the bed, were dirty.
The three of them climbed down into the drill, and soon it was covered with dust.
The three of them were so busy, not to mention forgetting yesterday's kite conflict, they even forgot about the exam.
After working all day, the three people who were extremely tired didn't look very obvious, but they just felt much more comfortable in the room and let out a sigh of relief.
Zhoulang and Daji, whose shoulders ached from carrying water, also breathed a sigh of relief.
Mr. Zhuang stood at the door of the study and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the five people who were about to collapse from exhaustion and said: "Okay, go to bed after washing up. There will be an announcement tomorrow from the Fu Xue, and we will return it early in the morning."
I need to go to the superintendent to check my results."
Although you may not pass the exam, you still have to take a look, and the superintendent will also post some good articles, which can be just right for the three disciples to learn from.
Bai Shanbao and the other three were shocked, and then they remembered, yes, it seems that the results will come out tomorrow.
Bai Shanbao touched his little heart and whispered to his two friends: "What should I do? I seem a little nervous. Will I be unable to sleep at night?"
Man Bao said: "That's not the case. I think you have forgotten about the exam in the past two days."
Bai Erlang said: "How about I go sleep with you?"
"No, you will kick people in your sleep," Bai Shanbao rejected him, and then sighed: "Forget it, at worst, just endorse it with your eyes closed."
But he didn't have time to do this. As soon as he lay down on the bed, he felt that his waist was sore, his back was sore, his hands and feet were sore, and then he couldn't help but yawned, then another, his eyes became moist, and then he felt sleepy.
Come, he tried his best to open his eyes, but found that it was in vain, so he followed his will and fell asleep.
Although they were sleepy, they went to bed early and got up early the next day, especially since they always got up early.
So as soon as Bai Shanbao opened his eyes, not long after he opened the door, Manbao also stretched his body and went out. The two of them looked at each other and then went to Bai Erlang's door in unison.
There was no movement at that door.
The two of them tiptoed to the bottom of the window, lay on it and tried their best to look in.
Daji:……
Zhou Lang floated behind them, suddenly stretched out his hand and patted their shoulders heavily, shouting "Ah——" in their ears.
The two people who were doing bad things also yelled "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Mr. Zhuang, who was washing his face in the main room, was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost knocked over the wooden basin.
Bai Erlang, who was sleeping soundly in the room, also yelled, sat up and turned around, accidentally falling off the bed and making a clunking sound.
Mr. Zhuang glanced outside, took a deep breath, slowly put down the towel, and told himself that he accepted this disciple by himself, dear!
Because of this roar, the whole small courtyard was instantly separated from the quiet atmosphere, and became lively and followed the oil pan of water. It was too lively.
Bai Erlang got up from the ground and was so angry that he didn't even put on his coat. He just dragged off his shoes and rushed out, chasing the two of them and trying to beat them.
Bai Shanbao and Manbao started running around laughing and joking, and the whole yard was filled with their noise.
Mr. Zhuang wiped his hands and brought water out. When he saw the three people making such a fuss, he shook his head and said: "We will leave for the superintendent in three quarters of an hour. Shiro, you can go buy breakfast and come back now."
Zhou Lang, who had already washed himself, bowed in response and turned around to go out.
Man Bao then remembered that the fourth brother was the culprit, and quickly said to Bai Erlang who was chasing her: "It was the fourth brother who scared us, that's why we screamed."
Just when Bai Erlang turned around, Zhou Lang slipped away.
After they had packed up and had breakfast, they went out, neither early nor late, exactly three-quarters of an hour later.
Daji and Zhoulang drove out the carriage and sent the four masters and apprentices outside the school prison.
There were already many students there, all standing in front of the door waiting.
Manbao and the other three took advantage of their small stature to get past the people in front and get to the front.
Zhoulang and Daji also had to keep up, but Daji had skills and could still squeeze in, but Zhoulang couldn't squeeze in. If he squeezed hard, the scholars would stare at him.
This made Zhou Lang very embarrassed. He had no choice but to withdraw and stand next to Mr. Zhuang, watching helplessly.
Manbao and three others got to the front. When the time came, the superintendent's door opened and someone came out holding a red cloth.
The academic officers sounded the gong three times to announce that this year's admission list has been released. Next, he would read the names and place of origin from top to bottom.
There are two copies of the red cloth, one for the academic officers to read, and the other for hanging directly in front of the bulletin board.
With two pieces of red cloth in hand, the yamen officials rushed back the candidates who came to see the results, then hung up the cloth very casually, letting it fall directly, and then turned around to hang another piece of cloth.
They have no worries, after all, they have to die once a year, so they are used to it, okay?
But the students standing in front of the bulletin board are different. This is related to their future, and most of them don't participate very often.
As soon as the red cloth fell, everyone couldn't help but squeeze in to watch.
Man Bao and the others were also squeezed and took two steps up, and then their eyes fell on the end invariably, wanting to look from the end to the front.
Who would have known that it was such a coincidence that the three of them saw Bai Shan's name at a glance.
Man Bao was startled, and then shouted: "Bai Shan, you passed the exam!"
Bai Erlang burst out laughing and said happily: "Bai Shan, you are the last one, how embarrassing!"
Bai Shanbao also widened his eyes, "Why is he last? I think my writing is pretty good? Are everyone so good?"
The scholars who haven’t found Bai Shanbao’s name after his death:...
