This also needs to be said that on the day when the results were released, in the early morning, the three brothers and sisters Gong Jian were originally discussing. When they went out to see the results, they heard the sound of lively gongs and drums coming from the street entrance. The three of them were not talking about it.
I didn't pay attention, but I heard the sound of gongs and drums getting closer and closer, and finally stopped at their door.
Immediately, someone loudly congratulated someone outside the door. At this time, the family realized that it turned out that a government servant had come to deliver the good news. However, the whole family was so happy that they quickly opened the courtyard door and brought the congratulatory government servant to the door.
Was welcomed in.
At this time, the small courtyard was filled with people watching the excitement, and everyone's face was beaming with joy, sharing the joy of this new scholar.
That day, the yard was very lively. After the government officials left, the neighbors came to congratulate one after another. Gong Jian's parents were busy greeting the guests, but the smiles on their faces never fell.
Gong Jian's father was even more unusual. He was carried to the main room and even entertained guests for a whole day without feeling tired.
When it was late at night, the family finally returned to peace. When they gathered around the dining table to finish dinner, they suddenly realized that their son/eldest brother was really a scholar, and he was a scholar.
The first reaction of Gong Jian's parents was, of course, to throw a big banquet to celebrate. When Gong Jian passed the child examination, they originally planned to celebrate it, but Gong Jian stopped him. But now, his son has passed the exam.
Even though they had lost the scholar, they had to make a big fuss for two or three days and invite the neighbors to celebrate their eldest son who was so promising.
As soon as they revealed their plan, Gong Jian stood up again to stop the excitement of the two, "Mom and Dad, I still don't plan to celebrate in a big way this time."
Seeing the puzzled and disapproving expressions of his father and mother, Gong Jian then said: "This is a rare year for scientific examinations. Now I have just passed the examination as a scholar. And a few months later, I will have
I have the opportunity to take the Juren Examination. These few months are very precious. I should study behind closed doors immediately instead of attending the banquet with great fanfare."
Hearing Gong Jian's words, Gong's father realized that his son was planning to take the national education examination in a few months. When he thought of this, his heart was filled with heat. He had never thought about it.
His son would one day be able to become a scholar and shine in his family. But the road his son had to take was much longer than he imagined. At this time, except for promising and nodding, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
Gong Yu and Gong Yue, who had been standing by, were also very excited. They stood up hurriedly, surrounded their eldest brother and kept asking: "Brother, are you really planning to take the Juren Examination in a few months?
"Brother, how sure are you that you can pass the imperial examination? By then, our family will be very powerful. People around us will be jealous of us."
It is indeed as they said. Although this county is not like in the village, there has not been a scholar in the ten miles and eight villages for decades. In the county, every time the scholar examination is held, many people from the county take part, but there are still a few individuals.
It is possible to win the title of scholar. But one thing to mention is that it is very difficult to get a good candidate.
Although Gong Jian has set more ambitious goals for himself, when his family asks him about it now, he will not give full assurance, saying that he will definitely be able to do it all at once, and he will also pass the exam for the title of Juren. He
I can only face the family with a smile and nod seriously, "I will try my best. I will try my best to pass the examination."
It can be said that the title of Juren is a watershed for scholars. Although the fame before Juren is rare, it does not count as an official. Once you have the title of Juren, you can choose an official. Although the starting point is very low, this is the current
It is the lowest level of an official, but there is also the opportunity to become an official. However, most scholars will not be able to reach this height in their lifetime. This shows how cruel the competition for the title of candidate is.
Gong Jian's family is now excited, but also full of expectations and worries. Although the family has been mentally prepared for Gong Jian to be able to pass the examination as a scholar, when the time comes for it to happen.
, still very happy.
But at least they had imagined what would happen after their son/eldest brother won the scholarship, but they had never even thought about winning the exam. Now they heard that their son/eldest brother actually said that he wanted to participate
During the Juren Examination, striving for the title of Juren, the family felt as if their hearts were about to jump out of their chests, and everyone was extremely excited.
After a while, everyone's mood eased a little, and Gong Jian's mother said: "In that case, if Jian'er insists, we won't hold a banquet to celebrate. But now the neighbors in the alley know that you won the scholarship."
So tomorrow, I will make more wedding cakes with you, Aunt Wang, and distribute them to the neighbors, so that everyone can share in our family's happiness."
The whole family unanimously approved Gong Jian's mother's proposal. Gong Jian's father even told the family not to disturb Gong Jian's studies in the next few months. Now he values himself even more.
My son is studying and taking exams for academic achievements.
Their family has a simple population and a good relationship. They don't need Gong Jian's father to give orders. The others have already decided to keep as quiet as possible in the past few months so as to give their son and elder brother a good environment to study. In other places,
Where they could not help Gong Jian, they could only work hard silently and express their concern through small things.
When Gong Jian saw the family's performance, he once again strengthened his goal. Now he is not only trying to improve his own value because he wants to be qualified to marry Miss Tian. Through
As for his passing the scholar examination this time, he could see that increasing his own bargaining chip would have a huge impact on the family.
Previously, Gong Jian had been committed to improving his family's living standards. To put it bluntly, it was to earn more money, provide a reliable guarantee for his family's life, and improve the life of his family. Now he has seen another important aspect, that is, in his own life
In addition to maintaining your ability, you must also increase your strength as much as possible so that others do not dare to underestimate you or plot against your family members. (To be continued)
