The official road of the farmer

After Ye Junshu waited for the soldiers outside to open the door for him, he came out of the room with his belongings in both hands.

He also thought bitterly that he was really like a reform-through-labour prisoner released after serving his sentence.

I have to say, it's pretty similar.

Ye Junshu compared the previous question types and found that this year's difficulty ranks among the highest in history. Most of the candidates didn't know whether they failed the exam or were under too much pressure.

Ye Junshu thought that his ability to withstand stress was quite strong, but just after the exam, he felt that his whole body was exhausted, not only physically exhausted, but also mentally.

No wonder there are candidates going crazy in the examination room every time, the pressure is too great.

Ye Junshu walked out of the tribute courtyard, Xiaoshan and the others were also waiting at the same place, just as he walked over, Nan Cheng and they quickly took the luggage.

Xiao Shan smiled and showed his big white teeth: "Brother, you have worked hard!"

During the exam, Xiaoshan and the others dared not say anything, for fear of putting pressure on Ye Junshu. Seeing the oppressive atmosphere, they dared not take any action, for fear of backfire.

They carefully accompanied Ye Junshu, silently.

Now that the exam is over, they also relax.

The exam was really scary. Ye Junshan was very glad that he did not choose this path. He would definitely not be able to reach the level of his elder brother. Fortunately, his elder brother is an enlightened parent and respected his opinion.It's terrible!

Ye Junshu's eyes were gentle, and he patted Ye Junshan on the shoulder, "Brother, it's not hard."

No matter what line of work you do, there is no way to get ahead easily. You always have to pay more sweat and bear more things, and your efforts will always be rewarded.

Ye Junshu's mentality is pretty good now.

Soon Yu Maolin came out, and after giving the items to Butler Yu and another servant, the group left the Gongyuan together.

During the exam, they never mentioned the test questions, because they were afraid of affecting each other's state. Now that the exam is over, they don't have such scruples.

As soon as Yu Maolin got into the carriage, he asked, "What do you think?"

Ye Junshu frowned, "It's hard to say."

He has already worked out the test questions and tested his own level. He is sure that he will be on the list, but he is not sure what ranking he will get.

After all, there are so many outstanding students across the country, it is difficult for Ye Junshu to position himself.

Yu Maolin nodded. Indeed, this exam is too difficult, and he is not sure.

When he got home, the children expressed condolences to him one after another. After Ye Junshu comforted the children, he went to wash up and have another full meal.

Ye Junshu, while still in good spirits, first wrote down his answers silently. This is their practice. Basically, every time after the exam, he would silently write out the answers for comparison, so that he could better understand where his test level is. .

After Ye Jun finished writing the answer, it was already midnight. Yu Maolin should have fallen asleep at this moment, so Ye Junshu was going to check the answer with him tomorrow.

As a result, early the next morning, Ye Junshu suddenly felt dizzy and his throat was dry and itchy, which were symptoms of a cold.

Ye Junshu was still surprised when he came to this conclusion.

He hasn't been sick since a serious illness a few years ago.

This sudden illness really caught him by surprise.He felt that he was very strong, and he obviously paid attention during the exam, so why did he catch a cold?

No matter how Ye Junshu thought about it, he found it incredible, especially seeing Yu Maolin, who was weaker than him, still alive and well, Ye Junshu's mood: "..." It's hard to describe.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Ye Junshu lay down in bed for two days and took medicine for a few days. Fortunately, it was not serious, so he took a good rest and got better soon.

Originally, he and Yu Maolin were going to go out for a few days to communicate with classmates at reunions, but unfortunately the illness disrupted the rhythm.

Yu Maolin had always acted with Ye Junshu, so he didn't go out these few days.

Wen Bihua, who hadn't appeared for a long time, heard that Ye Junshu was ill, so he rushed over with big bags.

He lived far away from the East District, and it took him half a day to come here. Wen Bihua also thought about moving here like Yu Maolin did, but this idea was ruthlessly suppressed.

Compared with Yu Maolin who came to Beijing alone, he brought his family with him, including his teacher, so he only came to Ye Junshu's new home once in half a year, that is, the housewarming banquet when he just moved in.

The rest of the time they met, they were outside.

However, since the exam is coming soon, they still spend most of their time studying at home.

Today is Wen Bihua's second visit to Ye's house.

Seeing that even Wen Bihua was alive and kicking, Ye Junshu felt even worse. He was so fragile that he could make himself sick, but he didn't get sick. Ye Junshu couldn't figure out how he could be tricked.

But apparently, no one was surprised that Ye Junshu would get sick.

People are fragile, no one can be so strong that he will not get sick for a lifetime, isn't it normal to catch a cold?I don't understand why Ye Junshu is entangled.

"Zizhou! Maolin and I checked each other's questions, and he said that your answers are very good, so don't worry about not being on the list."

Ye Junshu's symptoms were not serious, but he was afraid that he would still infect his friends, so he consciously isolated himself. Today he was almost better, so he came out to treat Wen Bihua.

Ye Junshu's answer has been handed over to Yu Maolin and the others to read, and to get Yu Maolin's affirmation, Ye Junshu's heart is finally half relieved.

He always knew in his heart that he couldn't compare to Yu Maolin, a pure native, and it was pure luck that he ranked higher in the township examination.

Yu Maolin on the side nodded to express that he thought so.

Since even Yu Maolin agreed, then he should have no problem, now it depends on the ranking.

Ye Junshu looked at Wen Bihua and Yu Maolin, "What about you?"

Yu Maolin said: "I have no problem."

Wen Bihua scratched his head and said: "I don't expect it anymore. I got a few questions wrong, and the theory is written in a mediocre way. But it's okay, the teacher also said that with my current level, it's not enough to be on the list , so I’m just accumulating experience this time, and I’ll take the exam three years later.”

Wen Bihua's mentality is very good this time. He was admitted to Juren in the provincial examination. There are more outstanding students than him in the world. Even the two friends who passed No.1 and No.2 are not very sure. No wonder he passed the exam!

So he participated in the test this time, just to test the waters.

Ye Junshu nodded and didn't say anything comforting. It is estimated that what he said would make Wen Bihua feel even worse.

But before the list comes out, everything is still undecided.

It took fifteen days for the results of the general examination to come out. Ye Junshu read the book for a few days to make sure that he had recovered from his cold before going to the symposium with Yu Maolin.

The students from Yongzhou have their own small group, one person meets today and another person invites tomorrow, and the activities are fully arranged.

As the leaders of this class of Yongzhou students, Ye Junshu and Yu Maolin naturally organized a big gathering.

While he was busy, Nan Ahma found Ye Junshu and told him the thoughts that had been circling in his mind for a while.

"Eldest young master, this old slave feels that there is something that needs to be told to you."

"Tell me." Ye Junshu said that he was listening carefully.

"It's time for the young master to consider buying some servants back." Nan Amo bowed slightly, "Young master, you will become an official in the future. It is not enough to have only old slaves and Chenghe in your family. This matter should have been settled years ago. I should discuss it with you, but your top priority is the exam, so I will delay it until now."

"Buyer?" Ye Junshu frowned subconsciously when he heard the word.

"Because of emotion and reason, it's the most suitable time for us to buy people." Nan Amo said, "If you wait until the young master becomes an official before buying people, it's easy to buy people who don't know the details."

Ye Junshu's thinking went further after Nan Ahmo made such a quick call. Indeed, if he was lucky enough to be admitted to Jinshi, he could still achieve good results in the final imperial examination, which would undoubtedly attract the attention of many powerful people to him.

At that time, if you buy another person, who knows whose person you are buying?Ye Junshu didn't want to have servants with bad intentions in his family. With so many children in his family, if something went wrong, it would be impossible to guard against.

At that time, going out to make friends and entertain visitors will require manpower. The Fang family and the Yu family will not be able to help him all the time. Nan Ahmo alone will not be able to handle many things.

Ye Junshu thought over and over again, and finally said: "Ah, I will leave this matter to you and Brother Lu."

After hesitating for a while, he added: "Let Brother Lu choose someone, Ah, you will hold your eyes next to you." Brother Lu is not young, and Brother Lu is in charge of the trivial matters at home. It can be said that the Ye family It's Lu Geer who is the housekeeper.

Except that most of the money in the family is still in his hands, and he maintains the outside communication, other things are handled by Lu Geer.

Ye Junshu thought, when his future gets better and better in the future, the children's marriage needs to be treated with caution. Regardless of whether the brother is a small family, he needs to take care of a family to be the real head of the family.

Let them practice now, so that they won't be ignorant in the future.

The general environment here is like this, anyway, Ye Junshu can only try his best to let the children know more.

Nan Ahmo responded: "Yes."

Ye Junshu's permission was granted for the purchase of the shopkeeper. Lu Ge'er and Nan Ahmai specially took the time to go to the tooth store to pick up the shopkeeper. For this reason, they handed over the shop to Xiaoshan and Nan Chenghe to take care of it.

Within two days, six people were brought back.

A middle-aged couple and their fourteen-year-old brother, surnamed Chen, a young man who also looked fourteen-year-old, and two young couples in their early 20s.

They all looked upright, and looked like a loyal and honest person, their eyes were a little dull, but there was nothing malicious about them.

Ye Junshu can still trust Nan Ahma and Lu Geer's vision, but although the first impression is very important, you can only see each other's character if you want to get along with each other. If your mind is not right, then sell it also may.

Ye Junshu had their contract of sale in hand, so he didn't worry about anything.

He couldn't help lamenting that the subtle influence of the environment really affects people. Even though he still has a heart for buying and selling people, he can still think about it in his heart.

Ye Junshu listened to Nan Ahma's arrangement for them, all the chores in the kitchen were allocated, and he felt that there was no problem, so he left it alone.

In the twinkling of an eye, it was the day when the exam would be released.

The late spring cold has ended two days ago, and now the temperature is slowly rising, Ye Junshu and the others only need to wear a thin coat.

Ye Junshu was calm, but it was undeniable that he began to get nervous.

Now that he has decided to get ahead in the imperial examination, he certainly wants to pass the exam once.If you fail this time, you will have to take the exam again in the next three years, unless there are special circumstances.At that time, the pressure on him will be even greater.

Ye Junshu was restless in his heart, but his face was still calm.

They didn't go out today, but asked the servants at home to watch the list. Yu Maolin was also at his own home, and Ye Junshu was only accompanied by his children.

Today's madness is estimated to be comparable to that of other exams in the past, and there are more people. The ranking has already come out at this time, but the list has not yet been posted.

Ye Junshu needed other things to divert his attention, otherwise the waiting time would be too painful, so he held a storybook in his hand and read stories to the twins and the two older brothers.

Although he read it rigidly and unattractively, the children were very supportive, and Ye Junshu read it even more happily.

The twins secretly glanced at each other, their faces showed helplessness like little adults, there was no way, who told this to be their elder brother!

Waiting for Xiaoshan and Chenghe to run back home, and Xiaoshan ran too fast, stepped on the threshold and slipped on the soles of his feet, and almost jumped forward, but he couldn't care about anything at this time, and ran into the lobby in a hurry.

Seeing their expressions, Ye Junshu couldn't help but stand up, his heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. Looking at their expressions, it seems to be a good thing?

"I got it! I got it! Brother!"

When Xiao Shan saw Ye Junshu, his face flushed with excitement, "Brother! You are No.2! No.2!"

Ye Junshu was stunned for a moment, very surprised that he could get this ranking. Although he was sure that he would be on the list, he didn't dare to expect himself to be at the top. In the end, it was No.2?

He blinked and saw the children jumping and hugging each other, cheering for joy, and then he was sure that he was in the right place, he was really No.2!

Waves of ecstasy welled up in his heart, Ye Junshu's face was full of joy, the children had already surrounded him and kept saying congratulations, and the other servants of Ye's house were also saying auspicious words.

Everyone's faces are full of excitement, the master's family is promising, and they are servants, and they will have a bit of face when they go out.

"Everyone will be paid an extra two months' salary this month." Ye Junshu said generously that the host's family had a happy event and everyone was also happy.

After hearing this, the servants congratulated more enthusiastically.

After the joy, Ye Junshu asked again: "Where's your brother Maolin?"

Xiao Shan first mentioned the ranking of his eldest brother, and after Ye Junshu asked, he realized that he had missed such important information, so he quickly said: "Brother Maolin is Huiyuan!"

"Really?!" Ye Junshu burst into joy again.

He knew that Yu Maolin was so good that he would definitely not be worse than him in the exam!

Yu Maolin won Huiyuan. Basically, if he does not do badly in the palace examination, he is very likely to be appointed as the number one scholar!

He and his friends were all on the list, and they also included No. 2. Ye Junshu was undoubtedly excited. He asked Wen Bihua's ranking again, but he failed the list.

They were all prepared for this matter, but among the three of them, he was the only one who failed the exam, so they probably would feel uncomfortable.

But Ye Junshu didn't have time to think more, a group of soldiers in black and red official uniforms came to announce the good news with drums and gongs.

Ye Zhai fell into a new round of busyness.
