Chapter Five Hundred and Eleven Scholars

The second update is to ask for pink.

*****……………………………………****

The sound of firecrackers came from far to near, and when they arrived at the gate of Lianman'er's house, it was even more shocking and lively. The family hurried out of the house and saw several people standing at the door, holding firecrackers and setting them off. One of them was Wu Jiaxing, with two or three people dressed as yamen servants next to him, and a few young people dressed up in ordinary costumes.

Seeing that Lian Man'er and the others came out, Wu Jiaxing hurried over.

"Congratulations to my uncle and aunt, my fifth brother is defeated." Wu Jiaxing saluted Lian Shouxin and Zhang, and said in a high voice.

"Ah?" Lian Shouxin and Zhang were slightly stunned, as if they hadn't heard Wu Jiaxing clearly.

"Brother Jiaxing said that my brother has won a scholar." Lian Man'er had guessed the show outside the door, and after hearing Wu Jiaxing's words, it was naturally even more doubtful.

Even Shouxin and Zhang were excited. Even Shouxin was better, and Zhang's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Wulang?" Zhang asked.

"Fifth brother is behind, we will arrive later. Let's report the good news to uncle and aunt first." Wu Jiaxing said.

At this time, the other people also paid tribute to Lian Shouxin and Zhang, and their auspicious words poured out like flowing water.

"Fifth brother passed by the county, and the servant followed him to announce the good news. The other people in the town and some in the county all came to report the good news." Wu Jiaxing gave in and lowered his voice and said to Lian Zhier and Lian Man'er sisters.

Lian Man'er suddenly understood that these people came to make money for weddings. In general, rich families often had such a situation. These people did not do anything for their master's family. Some people even did not do anything else, just asked where to do weddings, and they dressed neatly, said a few auspicious words and asked for rewards. Such people could not offend them. If they did not give up the rewards, or if they were given less, they could say something, which was a bad thing.

Generally, when the family members are happy, they will naturally be generous and want to get the best of luck. They will not be lenient in giving away the money for the wedding.

Lian Man'er hurried back to the house and withdrew some money. She didn't worry about who she wanted to give it. She just gave all the money to Wu Jiaxing and asked Wu Jiaxing to distribute it to those people.

When those people saw the rewards were generous, they thanked each other, and the auspicious words in their mouths became more and more pleasing.

Knowing that Goro's car was at the back, it would arrive in a while. The family was busy cleaning up the front hall again, then they all walked to the door and looked up at the official road.

Soon, two carriages appeared in their sight and turned all the way through the official road. There were some people in front and behind the carriages, including Wu Yugui, Wu Yuchang, Li Zheng and others.

The carriage stopped when they walked to the door. Goro and Mr. Lu got off the carriage. Everyone greeted each other and rushed into the front hall. Goro passed the scholarship, which was not the matter of Lian Man'er's family. Although the family had not seen Goro for many days and wanted to get closer and talk about private conversations, they had to entertain guests first.

When everyone sits down, the topic is naturally about Goro passing the scholarship exam.

The county examination and the government examination are the Tongsheng examination. Also known as the small examination, it is presided over by local officials. The college examination is the introduction to the scientific examination. The court agreed to send the academic government to various places to preside over the examination. After the Tongsheng examination, it cannot be considered as entering the officialdom. After the college examination and becoming a student, it is commonly known as the scholar. Only then can one truly enter the officialdom and gain fame.

If a scholar takes the annual exam and has excellent grades, he can get the national rations and taxes. A scholar can also be exempted from one person's tax. He does not have to kneel down when he sees a county magistrate.

Someone asked Goro who was ranked first, who was the head of the same case, who was asked who was the academic and political student who was sent this time, what were the test questions, etc. Goro answered them one by one.

Lian Man'er was listening and realized that Goro was ranked 46th this time, and was in the middle of the game.

After a while, Lao Huang and even rushed to the scene after hearing the news. After that, Wang Juren and several other village elders came to congratulate Wulang.

With so many people, we naturally have to keep everyone for a drink to celebrate at night.

Zhang, Lian Man'er, and Zhier's mother came out, and Wu Wang, Wu Jiayu, Zhao, Lian Ye'er, Wu Yuchang's wife, Er Ya, etc., were preparing for the evening banquet.

"Mom, should I go directly to the restaurant in the town to order a few tables, or should we make it now?" Lian Man'er discussed with Zhang.

"Cook it now. Our house has all the ingredients and we have enough people. We will make a few tables of mats in a while." Zhang said, because he was happy, Zhang wanted to make a few dishes and arrange the mats.

"Mom, I just counted the number of people. I guess someone will come later. How about we prepare for the three tables?" Lian Man'er said.

"I guess, three tables should be able to do it." Zhang nodded. On this occasion, their mothers and women who helped did not serve the table, and they just waited for the meal to finish their meal before they could eat.

Zhang called Wu Wang, Wu Yuchang's wife, and Zhao came over and discussed what dishes to prepare.

To kill three chickens, each table has a chicken stewed mushrooms, three big carp, each table has a sweet and sour carp, and three elbows, and one on each table has a Dongpo elbow. In addition, prepare a dish of white shrimp, a dish of stewed pork ribs, a dish of braised pork, a dish of steamed pork, a dish of fried egg box, a dish of fried sweet meatballs, a dish of fried black fungus, a dish of shredded pork, a dish of shredded pork, a dish of stir-fried beans, and the other four cold dishes are cold three shreds, fried peanuts, braised pork ears, and pork liver.

The staple food is prepared with dried rice and steamed buns steamed with fresh wheat noodles at home.

When the banquet was put on, some congratulatory people came. These people all brought gifts, and the people who followed them were also presented with gifts. Three tables of tables were full of seats. Lian Shouxin took three jars of wine, and put a jar on each table, saying that everyone would drink openly.

Mr. Lu was invited to sit at the first table. At the beginning of the banquet, Goro toasted Mr. Lu and thanked Mr. Lu for his sincere teaching. Then everyone had a drink and had a lot of fun eating and drinking.

When Lian Man'er and others had dinner, the guests dispersed and a crescent moon was already hanging high in the air.

Mr. Lu had some wine and went to the study to rest. Only then did the family have time to sit down and talk warmly.

Before he could speak, Zhang hugged Goro in his arms first. At the same time, his eyes turned red again.

"Mom's good son." Zhang couldn't cry.

It took everyone a long time to calm Zhang down.

"Mom, you have cried several times today." Lian Man'er smiled at Zhang and said to Wulang again, "Brother, thank you for your hard work."

"What's the hard work? I used to miss school but couldn't. I'm willing to study, no matter how hard I work. Man'er, I can have today, and our family can have today. Thank you." Wuro said.

If Lian Man'er had not asked someone to save Zhang, if Lian Man'er had not asked them to separate and escaped from the control of going to the house, if Lian Man'er had not been hardworking and getting rich, all this today would have been something that the family would never dare to imagine in their dreams.

Lian Man'er smiled with her eyebrows and eyes. She made great efforts for today's better life, but if the whole family had worked together, she would not have been today.

Just look at her current living environment, look at the family’s satisfied and happy smile, especially the growth of Lian Zhier, Goro and Xiaoqi, Lian Man'er feels that all the efforts and efforts are worth it.

"Brother, you are a scholar now. In the future, the burden of our family will be handed over to you." Lian Man'er smiled.

With Goro having fame and fortune, their family was not only the Lian family of the Imperial Pailou, but also the Lian Xiucai family. With Goro passing the exam, this family's identity also jumped from a farmer to the threshold of an official.

From then on, Goro could go out for socializing, dealing with affairs on behalf of their family. No one would question the decisions made by Goro on behalf of his family, including Lian Shouxin and Zhang because he was still young.

"Yes." Goro nodded solemnly. Did Zhang and Lian Shouxin fully understand what Lian Man'er meant Goro didn't know, but he himself fully understood. Before, the brother and sister chatted about this issue.

The family asked about Goro's life and exams in the prefecture. Many Goro told everyone in the front hall, but he was not impatient at all. Not only did he answer one by one, but he also answered in more detail.

"Brother, has Brother Youheng passed the exam?" Lian Man'er heard the letter while cooking in the kitchen, but she wanted to get confirmation from Goro again.

"Yeah." Goro nodded, "Young Brother is better than me. He got 43."

"Jun Wang said at the dinner table that their family will leave for the county town tomorrow to congratulate Dr. Wang Xiao." Lian Shouxin said.

"Did Brother Xiaojiu pass the exam?" Xiaoqi asked in a hurry.

Lian Man'er couldn't help but glance at Xiaoqi, thinking that this little guy is quite thinking about Shen Xiaopang.

"Xiao Jiu also won. He was ranked 20th." Goro said.

"Ah!" Lian Man'er was surprised and thought, no, Shen Xiaopang was better at learning than Goro, which was so unexpected. Could it be that Shen Xiaopang is a child prodigy?

No, it should be that she has never fully understood Shen Xiaopang. For example, Xiaopang is the same age as her and is older than her on her birthday, but because she is chubby and doesn't show off, she always treats him as younger than her, and even a little brat who is almost the same as Xiaoqi.

"Brother Xiaojiu is so awesome." Xiaoqi applauded and then smiled at Wulang again, "Brother, you are even more powerful than Brother Xiaojiu. Brother Xiaojiu has been studying for many years. Brother, you have been studying much later than him."

"You're stealing honey again." Lian Man'er smiled and went to pinch Xiaoqi's chubby face.

A few children laughed in a mess.

"Well, Goro, did you see Jizu during the exam?" Lian Shouxin coughed dryly.
