Chapter 487 Departure to Beidu (Finale)
As the time entered June, everyone in Shanshui Village began to feel a little nervous.
In late March, King Yan ascended to the throne, and in mid-April he posted a notice to resume the imperial examination. Three people in their village were dismissed this year, and they only had just over a month to prepare. The time was too short, and everyone in the village was worried.
It's strange to say that in the past, when he was poor, he didn't pay special attention to the imperial examination. Every time Fan Jin took the imperial examination, looking at his mother's arrogant face and arrogant words, he even hoped that he wouldn't pass the exam; but today, every family in every family Everyone in the village earns money, but they desperately hope that someone in the village can pass the exam!
Even if it’s just a scholar, that’s fine.
If there is a scholar in their village, it means they have a reputation. They don’t have to kneel down when they see the master in the future. If there are grievances in the village, they can submit a confession and they can’t be tortured casually. As for the tax exemption and reduction in the fields, it is not the most urgent thing. They are not short of money. But now that they have more money, they lack a strong backer to protect them.
And the people who come from their own village are the most worthy of their trust.
The college examination was in Guangning Mansion. In late May, Wang Guifen arranged for people to go to the city to clean out the house. Led by Li Wu, Xu Laosan, Hu Wenhua, and Fan Xiaoliu, they formed a team of more than ten people to take the examination. The team is responsible for the food, clothing, housing, transportation and examination matters of the three candidates in the village.
More than ten people went to the location of the hospital examination, and repeatedly tested the time required from the living room to the hospital examination. They were afraid that leaving too early on the day of the examination would not allow the three people to rest and waste time waiting, and they were also afraid that arriving late would affect their performance;
The women were afraid that the food in restaurants would be dirty and cause stomach upset, so they decided on the menu early to make sure it was perfect.
The weather in June was already a bit hot, so the villagers used money to buy several new sets of cool and comfortable silk clothes for each person, to ensure as much comfort as possible during the exam;
In addition, the four treasures of the study were all paid for by the public. Except for the top quality brushes produced by the family, the others were also the best that could be purchased.
On the day before the exam, the exam team brought a carriage, followed by a specially customized carriage, to escort the three of them to Fucheng.
Everyone in the village temporarily put down their work and gathered at the entrance of the village. They all looked excited as they looked at the huge farewell procession.
"Don't worry if you go. If you have any problems, please ask other people in the village to solve them."
Reading and taking exams are hard work, and they can’t replace it, but the logistics such as eating, drinking, and eating can still be taken care of!
"We are waiting for you to come back in the village. If the examination team does anything wrong, don't be angry. When you come back, tell Auntie, and Auntie will beat them!"
"Yes, take the exam well. Our village is not short of money now, but it is short of people with fame. When you become an official, no matter how much money we earn in our village, we won't be afraid of being remembered!"
"Hey, hey, why are you talking about these tacky things? Isn't it just adding to the burden before the exam? Go ahead, don't talk nonsense if you don't know how to say it, just say something unpleasant."
"Yes, I said the wrong thing, I'm stupid! Take the test well."
.....
Shui Qing and his team looked at the two candidates at home without saying much.
What I want to say has been said before, but the people in the village are more excited and pay more attention to it than they are. They worry about everything to the extreme and are more thoughtful and meticulous than their family members. There is really no need for them to worry about it.
After watching the first and second grade candidates get on the carriage and drive slowly away, Shui Qing turned around and went home.
She didn't have high hopes for the imperial examination. She could get the best in the exam, but it didn't matter if she didn't, because now they had other backers - King Yan ascended the throne and rewarded people based on their merits. Ling Ran, Fan Jiang and Bai Manshan was among them.
"Okay, finally I don't have to hide the items I packed for my trip!" Li Huyu said with a relaxed look as he walked back.
During these days, she did not dare to speak loudly for fear of disturbing the two scholars.
It is even more difficult to prepare travel items - others are nervously preparing for the imperial examination, while they are preparing for a pleasant trip, so why bother thinking about the imperial examination? No matter how you think about it, it’s inappropriate.
Bai Ziqian shook his head and reminded: "Mom, we have prepared enough. Even if there is anything missing, it will be fine. We can just buy it when we pass by Fucheng on the way."
How many times have they gone out to deliver goods in the past few years! Why is his mother so nervous this time? She wants to bring the whole family with her.
Li Huyu said angrily: "What do you know? When we go out, it doesn't matter if we are short or short. Anyway, we are going to work hard to earn money;
But can your aunt and Yan Qiuxing do the same to them? We are going to go sightseeing and have fun! There are also girls who are different from you. The more complete the things, the better. No amount is too much! "
The others laughed, listening to the bickering words between the two, full of expectations for this trip.
The college examination ends at the beginning of June and the list is announced at the end of the month.
Fan Jin, Li Changlin, and Fan Hu are among them!
When the person who brought the good news came, the whole village was excited. The old village chief was very excited. Wang Guifen even gave the person who brought the good news a big red envelope worth ten taels. The person who brought the good news was so surprised that he couldn't stop talking and made up his mind. Be the first to come after the provincial examination!
The travel plan of Shui Qing and his party was postponed, but everyone was in high spirits and looked forward to it even more.
The rural examination was held in August. Within two months, the whole village was cautious, even fearing that the loud breathing would disturb the three of them. The cicadas on the trees around the village were all stuck clean!
At the end of August, the college examination list came out. Although Li Changlin and Fan Hu did not pass the exam, Fan Jin did!
The sound of firecrackers rang over the entire village. Many people in the village wiped away tears and thought about how to celebrate.
And what are Fan Jin and his family doing?
They are packing their bags and preparing to leave.
Let's go!
Go to Beidu.
Along the way, we will see the West Lake, which is always suitable for both heavy and light makeup, the surging Qiantang River tide, the city wall of Jinling...see the beautiful rivers and mountains of the motherland!

When we go to Beidu, we will be in the court and the palace fighting. If I put the children's stories in the main text, I can write 3 million words, haha, so I will put them in the extra chapters and update them slowly. The main text ends here.
This book is not written very well, and I didn't win the essay contest award. I feel a little sorry for my editor. I will try to do better in the next book.
Thank you for your company along the way. We will meet again in the rivers and lakes if we are destined
