Looking at the two people who were confused, the fat man had no choice but to explain the whole story to them.

Unexpectedly, the two of them were shocked when they heard this.

He looked at the fat man in shock and asked with disbelief, "You mean, Ling Yun passed the hospital examination?"

"Yeah!" The fat man nodded.

He didn't know what was surprising about these two people. Isn't it normal for Ling Yun to pass the hospital examination?

Then he told them that Ling Yun was the first in the college examination, and the two of them were so shocked that they could not say a word.

They really didn't want to believe that a little ten-year-old boy could actually win the crown in the college examination.

This is a major event worthy of being recorded in history!

In the end, the fat man ignored the two people's stunned expressions and went straight out with the soldiers.

The direction is naturally towards Zhang Jinwen’s house, and then towards Guangping Village.

But before the fat man left Lingshan County, when he went to pick up Zhang Jinwen, Zhou Dafu asked someone to bring a cart full of gifts, including all kinds of items.

The fat man was stunned for a moment and looked at the visitor in confusion.

The visitor explained that this was specially stated by his father, saying that he was going to a friend's house, and it would be rude to be too polite.

The fat man was unwilling at first, because he understood Ling Yun, and he would not accept such a load of things, so when he left, he didn't bring any gifts at all.

It was just some ordinary things, books, paper, ink, pen and inkstone... Thinking about these things, Ling Yun would not refuse them.

But he never thought that in the end, his father would arrange a carriage-load of gifts for him.

The fat man muttered, but in the end he didn't refuse.

"Shou Fu, why do you bring so many things?" Zhang Jinwen came out and was shocked when he saw the extra things on the carriage.

Then I thought about it and muttered: I only brought so much, wouldn’t it look too shabby?

So he went to prepare in a hurry, but in the end he didn't know what to buy. He was so anxious that he scratched his head and jumped up and down.

After being stunned for a while, an idea suddenly occurred to me. I thought of opening an inn at my home, and there were all kinds of wine piled up in the backyard.

The banquet definitely requires wine, why not just bring the wine?

So Zhang Jinwen asked someone to pack it up and filled a carriage full of wine.

In this way, four carriages drove from Lingshan County to Guangping Village.

"Fat man, Jinwen, why do you two carry so many things?" When Ling Yun saw the arrival of the two of them, he happily came up and put his hands on their shoulders.

Unexpectedly, when he looked back, he found that the two carriages were full of things.

He really didn't know it without looking at it. This sight really shocked him.

One cart was filled with wine, and the other cart was made of cloth strips and quilts for making clothes...

They were all supplies that the Ling family was in short supply. Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether to accept them or not.

At the moment when Ling Yun was hesitant, the fat man directly ordered the soldiers to carry him and ran towards Ling's yard.

Ling Yun intended to stop him, but the fat man looked at Zhang Jinwen and coughed, and the latter understood.

The two of them had a clear understanding of each other, and at the same time they held Ling Yun's hand tightly on their bodies.

Only then did Ling Yun realize that he had been careless and was unable to move for a while.

Seeing this, Xiao Bing took the people directly and moved the things into Ling's house without saying a word.

The village originally planned to hold a banquet in the ancestral hall, but when they thought about the fact that there were many women in the Ling family, if the banquet was placed in the ancestral hall, they would have to sit outside.

Obviously they didn't dare to do this. After all, Ling Yun was the protagonist today. If his family members were to sit in the ancestral hall, they would probably offend Ling Yun's bottom line.

However, since ancient times, there has been no reason for female relatives to enter the ancestral hall, and they did not dare to set this precedent openly, so as not to be criticized and affect Ling Yun's reputation.

After much deliberation, we decided to choose the location in the Ling family yard.

Of course, the Ling family's yard was half the size of a stadium and obviously couldn't accommodate so many tables, so they placed the tables that couldn't be placed outside.

Because such a scholar was born in Guangping Village, the whole village came to have a feast to show their solemnity.

In addition, people from all over the country would send people over to get to know Ling Yun, so there were even more tables prepared.

Looking down from the door of Lingyun's house, there are rows of tables.

Ling Yun thought that this was much more lively than the student banquet he attended. After all, the student banquet was only one person per table, and even if it was full, there would only be dozens of people.

On the contrary, today, there were about fifty or sixty tables here, but he roughly estimated that they could seat at least two hundred people.

This can be regarded as a grand scene in Quang Binh Village. You can see it everywhere at this time, and everyone's face is filled with happy smiles.

Because of the matter between the eldest and the second child, Ling Yun originally did not want to hold this banquet.

But that day Li Chuan took a look and told him that it was not his fault that he became a scholar. It was related to the hopes of everyone in Guangping Village, and it would be nice to have a banquet to celebrate.

He didn't listen to the first words, but the happy words at the back made his eyes light up, and he no longer resisted.

So on the small slope, such a scene was staged.

Five or six people were moving things to Ling's house, while Zheng Zheng, a scholar from Guangping Village, was being held hostage.

If Ling Yun hadn't been chatting and laughing with them, the people in the village would have stepped forward with hammers in their hands to greet the fat man and the two.

What the two fat men brought caused a sensation in Guangping Village.

Ling Yun, like them, was born a farmer, but he never thought that in the end, the gifts given by others would be enough for them to work hard for half a lifetime.

They can't help but have doubts in their hearts: Can reading really make life better?

Changing their destiny is tantamount to wishful thinking. They would never dare to do it in their dreams. The purpose of sending their children to education is just so that they can find a good job in the city in the future.

But the scene of a car and a gift in front of them really made them jealous and envious.

As farmers, they are resistant to studying.

They worked tirelessly in the fields, but in the end they only had a few taels of silver.

If you send your children to a private school, it will be equivalent to a year of hard work being wasted. Naturally, no one is willing to do this.

After all, Li Chuan's example made them both yearn for and fear reading.

Even if the families in the village had a few spare cash, they would just send their children to school for a few years.

As for the imperial examination, they didn't even dare to think about it, and this was already considered a wealthy family in the village.

It is conceivable that the gap between the rich and the poor in ancient times was as great as it was in later generations.

…

Just after Xiao Bing finished moving all the things, Fatty slowly let go of Ling Yun's hand.

Ling Yun turned around and looked back at the two of them, looked at them with a smile and said, "Okay, have you guys already made plans together?"
