A peasant girl

Chapter 16
Under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village, many people were chatting and eating melon seeds. When they saw An Dalang and his party come back, they couldn't help but wonder if he won the election.Did the announcer go away, or did he not come?

"Did An Dalang win the exam? When I go home at this time, should I wait for the news, or did I fail?"

"He is so knowledgeable, so he will definitely be able to pass the Juren examination this time. If he really wants to pass the examination, it will be a big deal." Some of the crowd could not help flattering An Dalang.

"I have to watch carefully, and when the good news comes, go to their house to give some gifts."

An Erlang looked at everyone's envious, jealous and suspicious eyes, and said involuntarily: "Brother, when do the people who announce the good news usually come?"

"Maybe half an hour."

Hearing what An Dalang said, everyone got the answer, and he dared to go home and wait for the good news.

This An Dalang is also a good-looking talent, but with a mother like Wang, those in the village who want to propose marriage are cold-hearted, but it will be different if this An Dalang really wants to be admitted to Juren.

These days, it's easy to get a scholar, but it's hard to get a scholar.It's been decades in the village, but there hasn't been a single one.

An Yuehua walked behind An Dalang with a smile on her face, with her chest up and her buttocks upright, as if his elder brother had already been selected as a high-ranking official.At that time, she will be the lady of the official family, so she can naturally marry a good man.

An Sanlang walked behind and chatted with An Shilang for a few words. As the last son of Dafang, he was actually not as favored as An Yuehua.He has always studied in the private school in the village, but he has always been close to Anshiro.

"I heard that you are also preparing for the exam in June this year. Are you sure you will pass the exam?"

Hearing An Sanlang's question, An Shilang smiled: "This depends on God's will. I'm not a fortune-teller. But with the notes of the seniors in front of me, it's a lot of help. After all, they are all experienced."

Hearing this, Ansaburo's eyes brightened up a bit, and he would definitely be able to borrow notes from Ansaburo.

Naturally, he also wants to take the exam this year, and he is already a child. If his family hadn't kept stopping him saying that he had no money, he would have gone to take the exam for scholar.In this day and age, people have to pay for exams and so on, and this payment is three taels, how could Wang be willing to do so.My father doesn't care about money, so it's useless to talk about it.

Moreover, except for An Dalang, the rest of the children in the family need five taels of Shuxiu every year, and they haven't talked about eating and dressing.

After the incident with An Dahai, the Jiang family was even more steadfast in holding the money. An Dalang didn't need to repair the Jiang family for a year, so he gave him three taels of silver a year. Life doesn't matter.

There are not many crafts in the Anjiahui, nothing more than baskets, baskets, dustpans, and some chairs and furniture with simple workmanship.There has been no innovation for so many years, the quality of things has deteriorated a lot, and the price has remained the same as before, naturally fewer people will buy them.

After old man An received the job, he took An Dahe and An Erlang to do it. An Erlang could learn things quickly without studying, but making things was extremely rough. Old man An also had a headache for this, but there was nothing he could do about it.

When there is no work, An Dahe goes out to pick up odd jobs.On the other hand, An Erlang is an idler, he only knows how to eat, drink and have fun in one day.He would also say that the coaxing made Wang dote on him more, but it was much worse for An Sanlang.

There is still some time before the exam, but how will the money come, can they give it.Thinking of this, Yasaburo couldn't help feeling a little sad, but also a little bit resentful.

Seeing An Dalang coming back, Wang hurried out.

"Mother Dalang, you are back. Are you tired from studying in Yuehan City? I made delicious food at home today. After the announcement of the good news is gone, I will have a good meal and rest."

Seeing such an eager mother, An Dalang frowned and said, "Mother, what if I fail the exam."

Hearing this, An Erlang hurriedly said: "Brother, you are so knowledgeable, how could you not pass the exam?"

"My mother's Dalang will definitely pass the exam, don't think too much about it. Go back to your room and rest."

Mrs. Wang followed An Dalang, talking with a smile on her face.When Da Lang wins Juren, she will definitely take care of An Daya and the others.

An Dalang looked at them, did not speak, turned and walked towards his room.

I don't know how long it has passed, but the sound of gongs finally sounded at the entrance of the village.

Hearing the sound, An Dalang and the members of An's family ran out, ready to welcome the person who announced the good news.

Seeing the two people announcing the good news getting closer, the people in the An family were indescribably happy.

At this moment, An Hao also left the house, and hearing the sound of the gong, she couldn't help but frown. It's possible that An Dalang really passed the exam.

"Go away, what are you doing in the way? Don't delay our happy announcement, really."

Hearing what the visitor said, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but get angry.

"What are you doing? I can't see that the person you are looking for is here. It's really shameless."

"Really, then your child's name is Yun Tian."

As soon as the visitor's words fell, An Dalang's face turned blue.That's right, Yun Tian, ​​the eldest grandson of the village chief's family, is taking the exam this time.

"It doesn't seem to be the case, go away. Juren is also something you can think about."

Wang still didn't believe it, so she couldn't help stopping them.

"You must have made a mistake. Is there anyone else who won the exam?"

"This year, only one in your village won the exam. The neighboring villages didn't even get one. What are you thinking? How could this be wrong. I really thought Juren was a Chinese cabbage."

After finishing speaking, the man walked forward, asked the people watching the theater around him, and then went to the village chief's house.

"Brother, how are you? It's okay, we can still take the test."

An Yuehua looked at An Dalang's decadent appearance at this time, and couldn't help but comfort him.

An Dalang had never been hit like this before, so he ran out immediately.Seeing this, An Erlang and the others worriedly chased them out.

"How could you fail the exam? Why?"

Mrs. Wang fell to the ground beside her, talking nonsense.

"We went to the village chief's house to congratulate him. I really didn't expect that the dark horse that came out this year would be Yun Tian from the village chief's house."

"Definitely don't be too embarrassing, maybe God can't see it."

"The An family must have done something immoral in their previous life. Otherwise, why would everyone in the family fail the Juren exam?"

"Shut up all of you, my Dalang won't fail the exam. It must be the funeral star, Ke. With her, the family will not have a better life. I will not let you go, An Daya."

As Wang said, she stood up and walked towards the house. At this time, she had killed An Erya and the others in her heart.

Seeing Mrs. Wang come back, Mrs. Jiang looked outside and said, "What's the matter, where is the person who announced the good news, and where is Da Lang."

"Mother, Da Lang didn't win. The one who got hit was the eldest grandson of the village chief's family. My poor Da Lang couldn't take it anymore and ran out, mother."

An Dahe also heard it, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.In the end it was his son, but what about his hope?

"How could this be? Didn't his mentor say that he is very promising." Jiang also couldn't believe it.

At this time, Old Man An, An Dajiang, and Lin Shi all came back, and they heard these words before entering the door.

Old man an pushed open the door violently.

"Father, you are back. You have to make decisions for Dalang. Dalang failed the exam, and it was all cursed by An Erya and the others. First, in the kitchen, I ordered them to cook, and she cursed my Dalang for not passing the exam." up."

Mrs. Wang knelt down in front of old man An, and said with a sad face, Mrs. Su's family can't expect to have a good life today.

Jiang shi pursed her lips and said nothing, as if she acquiesced to Wang shi's words.

"Dahe, go and call Su Shi and the others for me."
