The Road to the Imperial Examination for Poor Children"

191-195

Bring new ones.
　　While his wife was taking a nap, Lin Yuanqiu didn't think about anything else. Now that the spring season is approaching, Yurou must be experiencing spring sleepiness.
　　When Lin Yuanqiu arrived at grandma's place, he found that dozens of large wooden boxes were already placed in the west room of the main room. They must have been packed again in the morning.
　　In order to reduce transportation on the road, Lao Lintou and Mrs. Feng stipulated the number of large wooden boxes last night. Only two were allowed in the son and daughter-in-law's room. The grandson and grandson's daughter-in-law had two more boxes because they had children's clothes and bedding, making a total of four. .
　　As for the small boxes and cages, there are not many to pack, there are at most three in each room.
　　As for carrying these burdens, as long as you are not too tired, there is no limit to the number.
　　...
　　The day will soon come when the examination results will be released.
　　As before, all the students of the Imperial College were on the Imperial Guard List that day, so Zhou Zixu and Wang Wenchang were not at home at the moment. Chunyan and Chuncao came to their parents' house early in the morning.
　　Zhou Xing will naturally not be absent from his son's examination. He came to the capital in early February. With the experience of reading the examination results from the first two times, Zhou Xing and Shu Yan came back soon this time.
　　Shu Yan was younger after all, and now he was walking so fast that he didn't care about his master, and he quickly left him far away.
　　No, there were still about ten meters away from the gate, so Shu Yan shouted with a loud voice, "Young lady, young lady, the young master has passed the exam! The young master has passed the exam!" At this moment, Lin Yuanqiu and Lao Lintou were all there
　　. They were waiting in the front yard. As soon as they heard the sound, they all hurried out. Looking at the book and inkstone running into the door in a few steps, they were already so happy that they couldn't even see it.
　　"Quick, quick, light the firecrackers!" Lin Sanzhu was naturally excited when his son-in-law passed the general examination.
　　It was safe and peaceful, and Lao Zhangtou walked out of the courtyard holding firecrackers. Soon, the crackling sound of firecrackers resounded throughout the alley.
　　Then, everyone saw Zhou Xing, who was almost smiling like a wooden fish, stepping into the courtyard gate.
　　Lin Sanzhu was about to make a few jokes, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Xing burst into tears.
　　"Uuuuuu, in-laws, when I looked at the results just now, my heart was in my throat. I was afraid that I would not be on the list again this time. Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu But I have been looking forward to it, wuwuwu..."
　　Seeing her father-in-law wiping away tears, Chunyan's eyes also turned red. Chunyan knows how hard her husband has worked in the past few years, and she is happy for her husband from the bottom of her heart. After passing the imperial examination, her husband will no longer have to work so hard in the future.
　　Lin Sanzhu patted Zhou Xing on the shoulder and said that they were all experienced and he could understand the inner feelings of his in-laws.
　　This is Zixu's third time taking the exam. If he fails the exam again, he will have to wait for another three years. How many three years can a person delay?
　　Thinking of her little son-in-law, Mrs. Feng hurriedly asked, "Have you seen Wenchang's name?"
　　Zhou Xing shook his head, worried that he would miss it, but he looked back and forth several times, but he didn't see the list. There is Wang Wenchang's name on it.
　　Hearing this, Mrs. Feng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. It would be better if her younger son-in-law passed the exam this time.
　　Lin Chuncao didn't think it was anything, "Mom, I just passed the provincial examination. I haven't had time to prepare well for the general examination. I'll definitely pass the exam next time." When Old Lin heard this, he smiled and said, "That's what Chuncao said
　　. Yes, my grandson-in-law will definitely pass the exam next time."
　　Mrs. Wu also said with a smile, "This is exactly the reason. After Wenchang prepares for three years, he will naturally pass the exam."
　　Lin Yuanqiu asked Zhou Zixu's exam . Ranking.
　　After hearing that he was ranked twelfth, he couldn't help but nod. With such results, if there were no accidents, he would definitely be ranked in the top two. If he comes to the next imperial examination, the possibility of passing the shujishi is also high. It will be huge.
　　It's just that the Lin family has no time to participate in Zhou Zixu's palace examination and court examination.
　　…
　　Before leaving the capital, officials who are sent abroad must enter the palace to pay their respects.
　　Chao Ci refers to the farewell to the Holy Emperor before officials who are sent to local places take office.
　　At the same time, the emperor will also grant an official seal.
　　Because he also serves as the magistrate of Dinghu County, Lin Yuanqiu has two official seals. Fortunately, the wooden box containing the seal is not big. Lin Yuanqiu is holding the two boxes in his hands at this moment, which does not affect his bowing. The act of saluting the Holy One.
