When you have to visit relatives in the second grade of junior high school, it is the day when a woman returns to her parents' home. However, those who go back to her parents' home on that day are young wives, and older ones are waiting at home to entertain their daughters and son-in-laws who return to their parents' home.

Like the third uncle's house, Aunt Fengnian would not go back to her parents' house. She wanted to wait for her eldest daughter to come back at home. And Sister Donglin would take her father back to her parents' house with Brother Donglin.

Jin Jiuyin has no relatives to leave, but Ge is still in her parents' home, but her parents are gone, and she has just fought with her sister-in-law. She hasn't been back for many years before, so she won't go back this year. During the Chinese New Year, she doesn't want to get angry. She now has granddaughters and grandsons, and she lives a promising life, but she has to live a few more years to avoid losing money.

After the first month of the year, it was the day of the county examination. The third uncle's family Lin Donglin and Lin Dongfu were both ready to end, so the rest of the whole month of the year went to visit the other families, while the two brothers Donglin studied hard behind closed doors, and the rice paper that just wrote the scriptures was piled up half a person.

"Sister Jiuyin, do you think you can beat Brother? "Lin Dong and Lin Lin stared at Jin Jiuyin nervously.

Jin Jiuyin was heartbroken. How did she know if she could win? She is not the chief examiner, and she has only been cramming in the past few months and really doesn’t know much about the imperial examination.

But looking at the two of them nervously, could she shake her head and say she didn't know? Their mentality had to collapse before they entered the exam room. So she nodded with certainty, "If you can win, just rely on Brother Donglin and Brother Dongfu's memorial skills, the first two games will not be a problem." She did not mention the next three games, and she also meant not to say anything to death.

Brother Lin Donglin was indeed relieved and had a smile on his face. Seeing this, Jin Jiuyin hurriedly said, "Brother Donglin, Brother Dongfu, mentality is very important. Don't panic when entering the market tomorrow. Just like doing questions at home. If you don't know what to do, think about it slowly. When you panic, you can't remember the questions you know how to do."

Lin Donglin thought about it and it was true. He was nervous when he ended the first two times. After posting the test paper, he was confused when he saw the dense words on it. His mind was blank and he couldn't remember anything. When he was blown by the wind after leaving the exam room, he suddenly realized that he knew what he knew about those questions, but why couldn't he remember them at that time?

When Sister Jiuyin said this, he realized that it was because of panic.

"Don't worry, sister, I will keep calm for my brother this time." Lin Donglin clenched his fists secretly. He was already a husband and father, and he was not a young boy. What's there to panic?

There are five exams in the county exam, and each exam is nothing more than the Four Books, poems, five classics, poems, fu, strategy, theory, nature theory, and broad edicts. The first exam is normal, two chapters of the Four Books, and one poem with five-character and six-rhyme. The admission is wider, and the text is smooth and the words are smooth.

The second test is one article in the Four Books, one article in the theory of sexuality or the filial piety. The silence of the Holy Edict is written about a hundred words, and no mistakes must be written or added. The third test is one article in the Four Books or Essays, one article in the Law, one poem in the Five-character and Eight-rhymes, and one poem in the Five-character and Eight-rhymes, and two sentences in the First Qunar of the Holy Edict is written. The fourth and fifth test is one article in the Verbal Essence, one sentence in the Frontier. The fourth and fifth test is one article in the Verbal Essence, one sentence in the Verbal Essence, and the parallel prose.

Each game is separated by several days, and you can only take the second exam if you win the first game.

Because the two grandsons in the family were about to end, the third uncle asked his son to drive a car to take the two grandsons to the city. After the grandsons finished the exam, they came back together in the evening.

Lin Donglin was very happy to see his father after he came out, "Dad, I have written all the memorization."

Lin Fengnian was also very happy, "Really? Isn't the question this year difficult?"

"It's not difficult! I've memorized all the tests, and half of them are the original questions given by Sister Jiuyin."

This made Lin Dongfu, who wanted to say, "The questions are very difficult, but I only know two questions." He couldn't speak easily. He heard his father ask him how he did the exam in his ear. He honestly replied, "Dad, I am not as good as my elder brother, and I still have two sentences that I haven't written."

Lin Fengnian comforted him, "It doesn't matter, you are still young and you are not as good as your elder brother in school. You are already much better than your elder brother's first time taking the exam."

Lin Dongfu------

My elder brother entered the school at the age of eight, but went home to stop studying at the age of six. He went to school at the age of six, and he is now sixteen this year. Dad, who has been studying for a long time?

Because he did well in the first exam, Lin Donglin's confidence increased greatly. He was not idle when he returned home, so he immediately devoted himself to the intense review.

After a few days, it was time to look at the list. Lin Dong and Lin and the other two drove their ox cart into the city early in the morning.

The county trial issued a group case, that is, the name of the head of the case is written in the top and most eye-catching part of the list, and then the second and third names are listed on the left and right - so the name in the name is written into a big circle.

Lin Donglin and the other two squeezed to the front of the list and looked up, they saw the three words "Lin Donglin" next to the name of the head of the case.

"Brother, brother!" Lin Dongfu pulled Lin Donglin's sleeve with one hand and pointed to the list with the other hand and said excitedly: "I saw your name, there, on the left side of the head of the case, the second place."

Lin Donglin had known that he had a good answer, but he didn't expect that his grades were so good - the second place in the county. He looked at the list in a daze and was completely confused.

When Dongfu was jogging and jumping in his ears, Lin Donglin reacted, but his eyes were still reluctant to leave the list. He felt that this list was the best calligraphy and painting he had ever seen.

Lin Fengnian was also shocked when he saw his eldest son being second in the county, and was even more worried about his second son. After being excited, he continued to search downwards until the middle position, and he was 43.

Lin Fengnian was very happy. This name was not better than his eldest son, but it was much better than his first time with his eldest son. He won fifty people in the first game, and both of his sons passed.

"Let's go home and tell you this good news and your sister Jiuyin." Lin Fengnian rubbed his hands excitedly, as if he had even straightened his back, which had been bent before.

When we returned to Linjiazhuang, we already knew that Donglin and Dongfu brothers passed the first exam, especially Donglin also achieved the second place in the county, and the whole village was full of joy.

You should know that if a scholar appeared in the village, the superiors would be more polite to them. If something happened to him, there would be scholars who spoke for them. If the scholar saw that the magistrate did not need to kneel down, it would be equivalent to their village having the right to talk to the officials.

Now Donglin, the best student in Linjiazhuang, has achieved such good results, which has made them all see the hope of the Chinese scholar. How could they be unhappy?

Why did the news come back before Lin Donglin and his son came back? Of course, Qian Xiaokang and Xiaotang were sent back. They opened shops in the city. They saw it as soon as the county list was posted, so they quickly sent the servant back to report the good news.

It is also a good thing for the girl that Master Donglin and Master Dongfu became scholars!
