Farmhouse with a little field

Chapter 387
Han Duyue smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed Xiaonian's head: "I said you were admitted as a scholar, are you happy?"

In just a split second, Xiaonian's eyes couldn't help turning red, but no matter who he was with, when he encountered an important happy event, he couldn't help but doubt himself, and the same was true for Xiaonian: "But sister, you just did that, you You are not lying to me, are you?"

"My sister was teasing you on purpose just now," Han Duyue felt guilty for her little thoughts just now, and said seriously, "You really passed the exam, the [-]th, Song Da has read several times It’s only confirmed again and again, it’s definitely true.”

Xiaonian opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Duyue, but as a result, his eyes were red and tears came out.

Han Duyue knew why he was crying, but she still deliberately joked: "My sister just wanted to tease you, why did you still cry? Are you really angry with my sister?"

"I didn't, I was just too...too excited..." Xiaonian shook his head repeatedly, but couldn't stop his tears.

Han Duyue patted Xiaonian's shoulder, and pressed his head on her own shoulder: "I know, cry if you want to, you don't know that mother cried harder than you just now."

"Mother...why are you crying too?" Xiaonian asked intermittently.

"Aren't you just like you? I'm so excited. You are the first scholar in our family, and also the first scholar in our village," Han Duyue said in a very brisk tone, with faint pride in it, "Xiao Nian, you It's really amazing."

Xiaonian was a little embarrassed by what was said, and gradually stopped crying, and began to be humble: "I am not as good as you said, but I just passed the exam by chance, and I also used some of the things the two gentlemen taught me before. In the final analysis, it is because the teacher taught well."

"Why are you being modest in front of my sister?" Han Duyue felt a little funny, and reached out to grab Xiaonian's Baotou, "Even if the teacher is really good at teaching, you have to be willing to learn, you see There are so many students in the county school, all taught by the same teacher, how can some people be admitted to Jinshi, but some have not yet been admitted to Tongsheng?"

Xiaonian was a little embarrassed by what was said, so he could only lower his head.

"Our family's Xiaonian is really great. We were admitted as a scholar at such a young age, and our family has followed suit." Han Duyue boasted that people are desperate, and they all reacted, only to feel that what they said seemed a bit exaggerated Now, he hurriedly said, "But you can't be proud of it. Although you have been admitted as a scholar now, you will have to take the exams for Juren, Gongshi, and Jinshi in the future. Of course, don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are still young, you must pay more attention to your body and rest, and you must not be too tired."

Originally, he wanted Xiaonian not to be proud, but he turned into caring as he talked. It was all because his younger brother was so well-behaved, and it was not easy to say something admonishing him.

"Sister, don't worry, I know that I still have a long way to go, so I won't be proud of it." Xiaonian understood Han Duyue's intentions, and nodded obediently with red eyes.

Han Duyue rubbed his head again: "It's such a big happy event today, we must celebrate it well, and you don't want to read the book anymore, you won't be able to read it anyway."

Xiaonian thought that he had been holding on to a book because of nervousness just now, and he didn't dare to go over to read the list, so he felt even more embarrassed: "Okay."

"By the way, you were admitted as a scholar, so it is mainly the result of your own hard work, but after all, it is also due to the credit of those gentlemen, so there is no need to talk about Dad. I think you should give Dean Zhu and several others Mister, are you preparing some gifts?" Han Duyue suddenly thought of this matter again, she only knew that teacher appreciation banquets were very popular in modern times, but she didn't know what kind of rules are here.

Xiao Nian thought for a while, then nodded cautiously: "It would be good if you can prepare some gifts that suit Mr.'s wishes and are not too expensive."

"Then you can discuss it with your daddy at that time, and it depends." Han Duyue didn't know much about these things, and she just reminded Xiaonian. She pulled Xiaonian to stand up, "You are sitting in the room too. It’s been so long, come out and do some activities.”

In the evening, Han Duyue personally cooked a table full of dishes. At the dinner table, everyone said a few words of congratulations, which made Xiao Nian very embarrassed and blushed.

Xiaonian also discussed with Li Hao what Han Duyue had proposed before: "Daddy, should I prepare some thank you gifts for the gentlemen who teach me on weekdays?"

Li Hao pondered for a while, then nodded: "That's fine, but you can't prepare too expensive things. Scholars are most concerned about being noble, and this kind of thing is easy to fall into the mouth."

Although I haven't embarked on an official career yet, many things need to be carefully considered. For example, what kind of thank you gift to prepare and which gentleman to give to this matter now requires careful consideration.

If the gift is too light, or if it is not in line with the other party's wishes, people will inevitably think that you are not careful enough, or despise the other party; it can be said that the gift is too heavy, and you will make people feel vulgar, and even associate with you. In short, it was very troublesome to go to the previous hospital examination.

"I see, Daddy." Xiaonian thought seriously.

After the meal, the family discussed it, and went out to the night market together, had a great time, and bought a lot of things to go home, some of which were carefully thought out and prepared to give to several gentlemen as thank you gifts .

The next day, Li Hao took Xiaonian and went to Dean Zhu's house with a thank you gift to thank him. Dean Zhu was very enthusiastic about the two of them, and he also liked the thank you gift prepared by Xiaonian, and kept the two of them. Had lunch at home.

On the third day and the fourth day... Xiaonian went to visit several other gentlemen and gave them gifts of thanks. Everything went smoothly.

After all the thank-you gifts that should be given are finished, Xiaonian will go back to the county school for class, so Han Duyue and the others will naturally go home.

Because he has been admitted as a scholar, Xiaonian's next class will also change. As soon as he arrived at the county school that day, he was taken to a new class by Dean Zhu.

"Mr. Liu, Xiaonian will study with you from now on. You just have to teach him well and don't care about his age." Dean Zhu brought Xiaonian to a middle-aged man and briefly introduced him, "Little In [-], this is Mr. Liu, on weekdays, if you have any questions, you can just talk to Mr. Liu directly."

Xiao Nian nodded obediently, and saluted obediently: "Mr. Liu is good."

"At such a young age, he was admitted as a scholar, and he will have a bright future in the future." Mr. Liu smiled, and his attitude towards the people brought by Dean Zhu was also very kind.

Because Xiaonian was the youngest among the people studying together, he was arranged in the first row, closest to the husband, but even so, he was a little struggling with the new curriculum.

From county examinations, government examinations to college examinations, to township examinations, to general examinations, each level of examination has different targets, and the courses on weekdays will naturally be different.

After the morning class was over, several gentlemen called Xiaonian over to take the test, which could be regarded as understanding Xiaonian's current knowledge.

In the afternoon, just as Xiao Nian sat down in front of his seat, he saw a classmate approaching: "Xia Zhang Yun, I don't know what to call you?"

Xiao Nian stood up politely, cupped his hands and said, "My name is Han Du Nian, hello senior brother."

"It turns out to be classmate Han. Well, you are probably the youngest one here. I wonder if I can call you Xiaonian like Dean Zhu?" Zhang Yun smiled lightly, but the words he said were somewhat intriguing.

After the competition before, most people in the county school have recognized Xiaonian, but there are also a small number of people who still think that Xiaonian can only come to the county school to study because of the relationship of Dean Zhu.

And the student Zhang Yun who was standing in front of Xiao Nian at the moment obviously thought so, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately mentioned Dean Zhu.

"Many senior brothers who regard me as a friend call me that, and Senior Brother Zhang is naturally okay." Xiaonian nodded lightly, and what he said also contained deep meaning. If you regard me as a friend, you can naturally call me that; but If not, then better not.

Zhang Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xiaonian coldly: "Student Han, I have heard your name before, by the way, yesterday I also heard from a deskmate that you went to several places with gifts two days ago. I wonder if there is such a thing in Mr.'s house?"

Zhang Yun did not change the name of Xiaonian, and his intention was obvious.

"It's true." Xiaonian's tone was very flat, and there was no hesitation on his face.

Zhang Yun chuckled, and said with a little contempt: "I only heard that you have a very close relationship with Dean Zhu, but now it seems that you have a very good relationship with the other gentlemen."

"Brother, why did you say that? As a student, isn't it the right thing to do to respect the teacher?" Xiaonian frowned suspiciously, and looked at Zhang Yun very puzzled, "Whether it's Dean Zhu or others Several gentlemen have taught me carefully, taught me a lot, and benefited a lot. Now that I am admitted to the scholar, it is mostly due to their credit. Is there anything wrong with sending a thank you gift to express my heart?"

Naturally, Zhang Yun didn't mean this, but Xiaonian's explanation made it seem that his previous actions were very reasonable.

On the contrary, it is Zhang Yun who thinks in a very dark direction about such a very orthodox thing as respecting teachers and respecting the way, which is obviously not in the right mind.

"Hmph, what you said sounded very high-sounding, but who knew that you only gave this thank you once?" Zhang Yun's face was a little ugly, and his tone seemed a little annoyed, "Let's not talk about the other gentlemen. It’s just Dean Zhu, you have a close relationship with him, right? Isn’t this what ordinary students should do?”
