Chapter 765 Xiaowu Passed the Imperial Examination
Looking at Mu Qing who appeared at the door, Bai Yunxi's heart thumped, "Butler Mu? You are such a rare guest, come in and sit down."
"Haha... Madam Bai, you are too polite, I am here to announce the good news." Mu Qing was not polite either, and directly stated the purpose of his visit. If it was to announce the good news, there was no need to keep it a secret, so as not to be annoying.
Bai Yunxi suppressed his excitement, let the person in, and quickly asked Mrs. Du to serve tea to the distinguished guest.
Mu Qing took out a wax-sealed letter from his bosom and handed it to Bai Yunxi with both hands, "This is a letter from Mr. Bai to you. I sent it to you as soon as I received it, for fear of delaying the time."
"Mr. Bai?"
Mu Qing looked at Bai Yunxi's surprised expression, and bowed his hands to congratulate him again, his tone revealing his undisguised pride.
This person is the dean's closed disciple, and he is very valued. If the dean hadn't asked him to stay in the academy, he would have gone with him. But when he received the letter announcing the good news, he could feel the dean's joy from the elegant handwriting of the dean.
"That's right, Wu Langjun passed the imperial examination. The whole city admitted 25 candidates this time, and our Wu Langjun ranked 20th. Not only because he is the youngest in the whole class, but also because he is the candidate who won the scholar and juren at the same time within a year, which directly shocked the whole city."
After these words came out, the whole family was stunned and cheered directly. After Bai Yunxi was happy, he let the people into the house to sit down and served tea.
"I wonder how Xie Yu and Song Jie's grades are?"
Listening to Bai Yunxi's inquiry, Mu Qing knew that the eldest son of the Xie family was the godson of this person, or that the eldest son took the initiative to come and recognize the godparents.
"Congratulations to Mrs. Bai, Mr. Xie is the top of the list this time, and the good news has now reached the hands of County Magistrate Xie."
Bai Yunxi was stunned again. Xie Yu was really awesome.
"Haha...Jieyuan, Yu went to the prefecture with an injury. God bless you, your hard work has not been in vain."
Mu Qing nodded. Even the dean was surprised that Xie Dalangjun won the first place. He thought that he was in poor health and would be affected to some extent. Unexpectedly, Dalangjun was injured and still made a big splash.
"Dalangjun has been accumulating for several years. He can be regarded as a person who works hard to get Jieyuan. Ahem... As for Song Xiucai, he did not make the list this time."
Song Jie did not pass the exam?
Bai Yunxi was not surprised by this. Juren is not a cabbage picked casually in the field.
Students belong to basic education, and Xiucai is a college student. As long as you study hard, you basically have hope, but Juren is different. It is definitely a graduate student level.
The gap between Juren and Xiucai is like a gap. If you are not a top student, you can't get ashore at all.
After passing the exam, if you don't want to continue the imperial examination, you can wait for the official assignment.
Of course, if you have a backstage at this time, you can arrange it in advance. If you don't have one, just stand in line and be patient. Don't take shortcuts. You will end up like the old scholar, who was cheated out of everything and even lost his life.
Song Jie's qualifications are relatively ordinary, and he took the exam three times before he passed. The title of a scholar is probably not easy to get.
Someone came to the door early in the morning to announce the good news, so the red envelope must be given.
Bai Yunxi went to the inner room to prepare a red envelope, "Thank you, butler Mu, for coming. I'll treat you to tea and celebrate."
"Haha... Thank you, Madam Bai, this is a rare opportunity, and I can't bear to give it to others."
Mu Qing laughed, took the red envelope, sat and talked for a while, and then got up and left. Bai Yunxi sent the person to the gate, and asked Xiao Si to send the person to the official road.
"Mom, my fifth brother is really a god, he passed again." Li held her belly with one hand and the door with the other, and her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.
"Third Grandfather said that my fifth brother has the destiny of being the top scholar. This is true."
Mrs. Du echoed. Oh my god, their family really relied on my fifth brother to support it again. They became a family of Juren again.
Bai Anyan rubbed his hands, his eyes excited, "Mom, should we prepare the banquet in advance?"
This banquet must be more lively than the last one. Invite all relatives and friends to have fun together.
Seeing the excitement of several people, Bai Yunxi waved his hand and turned into the yard.
"Yu Geer passed the imperial examination. Although Xiao Wu ranked low, a prefecture governs such a county. There are many scholars who participated in the provincial examination. It is a pleasant surprise that Xiao Wu passed the examination this time."
The most important thing is that the kid has been studying at home since his father passed away. He has been in the college for less than a year. To have such a result, he is definitely gifted.
"Of course, he was able to pass the imperial examination thanks to his solid foundation. Your father should be the first to thank him. I will prepare offerings for Xiaowu and let him go to pay tribute in person so that your father will know."
Bai Yunxi said this sincerely. She really didn't help with his studies. She could understand those books that were full of nonsense, but she couldn't teach others.
So, in recent years, apart from drinking some chicken soup from time to time, she just made sure she didn't go hungry. The rest depended on herself.
It's not easy to teach children to study. If you're not careful, you can get a stroke. In her era, it was not uncommon for parents to be hospitalized because of their children's anger.
When several people heard their mother's reminder, their faces froze, and their joy just now was restrained a lot.
The mother should be the happiest person for the fifth brother to pass the imperial examination, but the mother was thinking about the father in her heart... It's understandable if you think about it. Back then, the father was also a respected juren.
"Mom, don't worry. When my fifth brother comes back, my fourth brother and I will accompany him to visit dad's grave and tell him the good news."
Bai Anyan's joy faded, and his tone was a little heavy.
"No matter what, it's a happy event that my fifth brother passed the imperial examination, and mother should be happy."
Listening to the thoughts of several people, Bai Yunxi twitched her lips almost undetectably. When was she sad?
She was just an old woman, and the couple might be happy in the underworld.
The couple didn't have to worry about anything, just wait for four eyes to stare at her.
"Hey~, Xiaowu is doing well, I can't wait to be happy. But Song Jie didn't pass the exam, and your Aunt Song must be disappointed, so we can't be too proud, we have to consider her mood. "
Bai Yunxi looked at them and whispered,
"We just need to be happy in our hearts, being too ostentatious will only make people uncomfortable. The only people who can talk to mother in the village are your aunt and your Aunt Song. Let's be low-key and take care of other people's feelings."
When several people heard it, they nodded in agreement.
The two families were good friends, and both were from the family of scholars. They took the provincial examination together, one passed and the other did not, so it was understandable that they were in a bad mood.
"Mom, we got it. The fields are busy. I'm going to work."
Bai Anyan said, carrying tools and pulling a cart, and called people out.
