East of Qingzhou Prefecture City, Sanyuan Back Street.

The seemingly inconspicuous small street has a pretty good terrain.

Because it is only two streets away from Qingzhou Prefecture, the public security situation is quite good.

Also, because it is only one street away from the Qingzhou Prefecture Examination Institute and the famous Qingzhou Academy, except for the vague sound of reading from Qingzhou Academy, it seems quite quiet.

Most of the residents on this street are government officials and scholars, and they rarely hear noises on weekdays.

There is a small yard in the middle of the street. It just changed hands two months ago, and the new owner is the Ye family in Houwu Village.

After the house changed hands, it was repaired. A month ago, Ye Qing and his servant Zhao Chuaner lived in first. He came to Fucheng to participate in the examination.

Dad Ye bought this yard so that several grandchildren at home came to the Fucheng for the exam.

Although Zhuangzi is not far from the city, it is also a bit far away.

In order to avoid accidents, I was unable to live in a village outside the city during the exam.

The reason why Dad Ye bought this courtyard started in May Ye Qing brought Zhao Chuaner to the mansion city to participate in the mansion examination.

Although Ji Kang and Xie Huang reminded that Ye Qing came to the city two days in advance, he almost couldn't find a suitable inn.

If it weren't for the help of the Lin family and having a room to live in the inn under the name of the Lin family, not far from the Examination Institute, Ye Qing would have had to live in an inn seven or eight streets away from the Examination Institute.

After the house trial was over, Ye Qing passed the test without any danger. After Ye Qing passed the test, Dad Ye did not hesitate and paid a lot of money to buy the small courtyard.

Because the houses in this area are close to the government office, not far from the Examination Institute and Qingzhou College, the security and environment are quiet. I feel that the praise of the scholars is naturally not cheap. However, for the future of the grandchildren, Dad Ye spent almost half a year to buy the yard and repaired it before the Ye Qingyuan exam, so he looked like he is now.

In the past two years, the Ye family’s grape planting area has been expanding, the wine production has also increased exponentially, and persimmons have become a summer scene in Houwu Village.

Today, Houwu Village is not only a wine production base, but also a persimmon planting base. Although the small Houwu Village has not yet become the tax pillar in Beixi County's goal, it has become a trend.

Lord Zunqian, Beixi County, was promoted as soon as his three-year term ended.

Although he was unable to be transferred back to the capital to be an official, he jumped to two levels and took office at the beginning of the year and became a fifth-rank magistrate of Qingzhou Prefecture, in charge of the agricultural affairs and education of the government.

As the grape planting area expanded, the original slaves were no longer in control. In the past two years, the Ye family bought a lot of slaves one after another.

Zhao Chuaner is one of them. Because he is about the same age as Ye Qing and knows some words, he is also clever, so his father Ye gave Zhao Chuaner to Ye Qing as a servant.

Ye Qing is already a 16-year-old boy. He successfully passed the county examination in February and the government examination in May. In mid-July, he took Zhao Chuaner to live in this yard first for the first time in August.

It was August 18th in a blink of an eye, and it was the day when the college entrance examination was released. Zhao Chuaner, as a servant of Ye Qing, rushed to the examination institute to see the rankings early in the morning.

Ye Zhan, Ye Shen and Lin Wan came to the city from Houwu Village two days ago to share the good news as soon as possible.

However, no elders in the family were able to come because this time was the busiest time of the Ye family.

Although the family bought a lot of slaves, Qi Gui and Jin Wang and each person could stand alone when he pulled them out, Dad Ye still firmly controlled the key technology of making wine in his own hands.

Even though Dad Ye was concerned about Ye Qing's examination situation, he could not get out at this time. He could only let Ye Zhan, Ye Shen brothers and Lin Wan come to the city to accompany Ye Qing.

At this moment, Ye Zhan was anxiously urging Ye Shen to clean up his own house: "Third brother, do you still want to go and read the list? Why are you so slow?!"

Lin Wan sat in the yard with a book, smiling at Ye Zhan who was jumping anxiously: "Second brother, Jin Xiaoman, Zhao Chuaner, Qi Xiaowu and Qi Dabao have already gone to see the list. I think you and the third brother don't have to go. There must be many people going to the examination institute to see the list today. Why do you have to squeeze in this fun!"

Lin Wan is eight years old this year. Although she has not grown up, her face is still a little baby-like. Her words and deeds are already very beautiful. Her voice is as clear as a jade plate. Her voice is clear and crisp and pleasant.

Today, Ye Qing is the protagonist, but there is no trace of anxiety on his face. He is now writing slowly with his pen.

Ye Qing's calmness and steadiness make Ye Zhan look more and more lively and steadily.

After hearing Lin Wan's words, Ye Qing put down the brush in his hand and said, "Wanwan is right, why both of you have to squeeze in this fun? Besides, if you are lucky enough to win, someone will come here to report the good news. If you don't win, no matter how many people go, they will still not win."

At this time, Ye Shen happened to come out of the room. Ye Zhan pulled Ye Shen out and said, "Oh, brother, sister, you don't understand this. What we want is this fun!"

Ye Qing shook his head helplessly, and a trace of envy flashed through his eyes.

He also wanted to go to the government office to see the list and experience the excitement, but he was worried that he would not be able to stand the excitement, and he was even more worried that if he couldn't pass the exam, he would make a fool of himself on the spot. He could only suppress his excitement and wait for news at home.

Lin Wan had already seen Ye Qing's uneasiness and uneasiness. Just looking at the words he wrote today, you can tell that Ye Qing's heart was not as calm as he appeared. She just advised Ye Zhan and Ye Shen not to go to the fun, and wanted them to stay and interrupt Ye Qing, but the two brothers didn't notice Ye Qing's nervousness.

Lin Wan had to talk to Ye Qing in a mess to relieve Ye Qing's nervousness.

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long. After Ye Zhan and the others left the yard for about two quarters of an hour, they heard Zhao Chuaner's voice changing with joy from outside: "I've been beaten, I've been beaten! The eldest son has been beaten!"

With Zhao Chuaner's shout, Ye Zhan, Ye Shen, their servants Qi Zhenting, Qi Dabao and Ye Daddy specially arranged for Jin Xiaoman who came to defeat each of them to see the list and returned to the yard happily.

The neighbors who heard the noise naturally gathered in front of the yard to congratulate Ye Qing. Lin Wan took out the candy, melon seeds and peanuts that had been prepared long ago, and let everyone share the joy together.

It was lively here, and the people who reported the good news in the yamen were here. Lin Wan had already found out about these procedures, so she naturally understood that it was difficult for the people who reported the good news in the yamen to give away candy, melon seeds and peanuts, so she prepared the red envelopes early.

Only after the yamen runners who sent the news and the neighbors who sent the greetings to the aisle, brothers and sisters had time to congratulate Ye Qing.

Ye Qing's results this time were not very good. Although it was not the end, it could only be considered as flying by the tail at a low altitude. However, even so, it is a very commendable thing.

After all, Ye Qing was only sixteen years old and only three years after formally entering school. He became a scholar after taking the exam for the first time. Compared with those who failed the exam, Ye Qing can be regarded as a young and talented person.

This is the third time that the eldest son of Hongfeng Village, Xie Hui, has participated in the hospital examination this year, but the result is still unsuccessful.

I wonder how the Xie clan members in Hongfeng Village should be envious and regretful to receive this news!

Although the scholars of the Dayu Kingdom had no national salary, they could obtain certain privileges, such as the family could be exempted from labor service and taxes on 70 acres of land, and the scholar himself had the right to make suggestions to the county magistrate.

In short, after passing the exam for scholars, you can go up to another level to continue taking the Juren exam. Once you pass the exam, you will have the opportunity to officially enter the literati class as an official; if you retire, you can open a private school to teach and educate people.
