Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 106
On the way home, Lin Xiaoqiao also asked him, how did he feel about his exam?

And the answer Chen Xuewen gave her was that everything would be known when the result came out, in short, this time she was considered to have performed normally.

For this answer, Lin Xiaoqiao was deeply speechless, saying it was the same as not saying it, but she still believed in her heart that her brother Xuewen would definitely pass the exam, so she didn't ask any more questions, but began to think, to give Chen Xuewen sent a gift to congratulate him on being admitted as a scholar!
Back home, Widow Zheng never asked Chen Xuewen a word, but made some pastries and meals that he usually likes to eat, and asked him to have a good rest.

Half a month later, it was the day to unveil the list, and Lin Xiaoqiao had been arguing early in the morning to go to the gate of the county government office in town to wait for the announcement.

Sisters Lin Erniu and Lin Xiaoqiao had been waiting at the gate of the county government office for several hours. There were also many people who came to see the announcement today. Students dressed as scholars, these people should be the candidates for this exam.

Lin Xiaoqiao also wanted to bring Chen Xuewen over to watch the list, but he said that he didn't want to come, so he just asked Lin Xiaoqiao to help.

Everyone waited until noon, when three officials came out from the county government office, holding a list in their hands.

As soon as these officers came, the crowd that surrounded them made way out of their own way. After the officers posted the list and uncovered the paper covering it, the list of those who passed the examination will be made public. There are many.

Because of their small stature and nimbleness, the Lin Xiaoqiao sisters squeezed their way to the front of the crowd smoothly. The two of them scanned the list quickly and seriously, and the name of Chen Xuewen was at the top of it.

Her elder brother Xuewen passed the exam, and he was still No.1. He was the top case. Lin Xiaoqiao read it carefully two or three times, and after confirming that it was correct, her heart burst into ecstasy. , but he never thought that he actually won the top case.

The two sisters shouted happily at this time, jumping and jumping excitedly regardless of the occasion.

At this time, the crowd also began to discuss that the examination for talent is not as good as the examination for the number one scholar. After the examination, people are concerned about whether they have passed the examination or not, and they are concerned about the top case of each session.

The head of the case this time is Chen Xuewen. Everyone is discussing who this Chen Xuewen is, and it seems that they have never heard of it. What is the name of this person in Anping Town?

Of course, some of these people knew Chen Xuewen. They were all classmates of Chen Xuewen. These people seemed to be candidates for this year's talent examination. Some of them won this time, and some unfortunately failed.

Those who passed the exam were naturally overjoyed. When they heard someone mentioning Chen Xuewen, the leader of the case, they would tell one or two.

When everyone learned that Chen Xuewen, the chief of the case, was just a 13-year-old boy, they were still a little shocked, and some were older.

I took the exam several times, but this time I still didn't pass the exam. Those scholars who lost their names in Sun Shan felt a little ashamed. They were so old, and they were much older than this boy who was only 13 years old. I'm really ashamed that I can't pass the exam as a scholar.

Lin Xiaoqiao heard some people comment that there are many candidates who passed the examination at a young age over the years, and just a few years ago, a ten-year-old boy became a blockbuster and won the first place in the examination.

However, among the previous scholars in Anping Town, Chen Xuewen, the head of the case this year, is indeed the youngest, which is really not easy.

When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he suddenly found that he was also a little embarrassed, and felt a little proud.

She didn't want to listen to those discussions anymore, so she dragged Lin Xiaoxi out of the crowd and found Lin Erniu who was resting under the tree and waiting for news.

Lin Xiaoqiao and sisters told Lin Erniu excitedly that brother Xuewen had won, and he still won No.

When Lin Erniu heard the news, he was also happy for Chen Xuewen's mother and son, and he was also a little excited. Around him, scholars are rare, let alone scholars, and the one who passed the exam is very close to his own family. Chen Xuewen.

The father and daughter got into the bullock cart and rushed back with joy and excitement...

On the way, Lin Xiaoqiao ordered Lin Erniu to buy some firecrackers. She guessed that the messenger who announced the good news would come to the door soon, and she had to prepare some for brother Xuewen in advance.

The three of them rushed home all the way, and when they saw many people standing in front of and inside the small courtyard of Chen Xuewen's house, Lin Xiaoqiao quickly got out of the ox cart and walked to his house.

There are already pieces of firecrackers on the ground at the door. It seems that the official messenger who announced the good news has already come to the door. Hey, what a pity, I didn't catch up with this moment. She really wanted to see Brother Xuewen to know What was your first reaction after you hit the head of the case?
This Chen family is really lively today, even Lizheng is sitting in the main room, Chen Xuewen is accepting the congratulations from all the villagers with a calm face.

Lin Xiaoqiao didn't see a trace of excitement from him, only that he kept a gentle smile all the time, his face was soft, and he was very polite, and he greeted the folks who came to congratulate him in a proper manner.

And his mother-in-law, Widow Zheng, and his own mother-in-law, Li Shi, were busy greeting the female relatives who came to congratulate them, drinking tea and chatting with them.

Widow Zheng also seemed to be very calm, and she didn't have the feeling that Lin Xiaoqiao had heard before that "the son was selected as a scholar, and the mother burst into tears".

The small courtyard of the Chen family, which used to have a quiet atmosphere, suddenly became lively after Chen Xuewen was selected as a scholar.

No wonder these folks are excited. I heard that Shanglin Village seems to have not produced a scholar in more than 100 years, let alone the No. 1 case leader. Today, an official came to announce the good news, and some villagers saw it. The news spread all over the village at once. The fact that Chen Xuewen was admitted as a scholar was no longer an honor and a happy event for Chen Xuewen alone. Now Chen Xuewen being a scholar has become a major event for the entire Shanglin Village.

Lin Xiaoqiao saw that Chen Xuewen was busy at this time, and he didn't see himself, so he didn't go up to join in the fun, but ran to Widow Zheng's side and helped them serve tea and water.

It wasn't until dark that the villagers who came to the door in a continuous stream gradually dispersed, and the small courtyard of the Chen family returned to its former tranquility.

Before Li Zheng left, he hoped that the Chen family would have a lot of fun this time to celebrate the happy event, and made it clear that if Widow Zheng felt overwhelmed or had any other inconveniences, the folks like them could It's all done by one hand, as long as the master, mother and son of the scholar can nod.
