The happy little days of the Ye family

Chenchen and Xiaoqi passed the examination and became Tongsheng in the first exam. The two brothers wanted to wait for Xiaoshitou to finish the exam before going back together, so they stayed in the city for a few more days.

Tang Xiaojing and Ye Donglin were worried about the child being alone here, so they stayed too.

The two also knew that their families were worried, so they wrote a letter as soon as possible and asked someone to send it back to announce the good news. They also specifically asked their family to prepare a buffet.

The two letters from home were delivered to Wang Chunyu and Ye Qingqing together.

When the two found out that their son had become a virgin, they hugged each other and jumped up and down, and returned to the village that day feeling refreshed.

There were two young students in the village at the same time, and they were both about fourteen or fifteen years old. This was a great happy event.

The village chief opened the ancestral hall that day to comfort his ancestors and even specially wrote about this happy event in the family tree.

The Ye and Tang families were happily preparing the items for the banquet, but the atmosphere in the Wang family, who were still anxiously waiting for news, was much more tense.

Ye Qingmei and her second aunt prayed to gods and Buddhas every day and lost several pounds.

……

After shopping for an afternoon, Xiaoqi and the other two were carrying all kinds of things in their hands, and basically took care of everyone in the family.

In just one afternoon, the three brothers not only spent all their savings, but also owed a lot of debts.

The next morning, before daybreak, the group happily set out on their journey home, carrying heavy bags of various gifts.

On the way, several diligent students, unwilling to waste a single moment of time, gathered together to discuss the examination questions from previous years.

The four of them expressed their opinions one after another, and if they disagreed, they would come forward to argue.

From time to time, there were some heated discussions in the carriage, and occasionally some hearty laughter.

Listening to his son's energetic voice reading, Tang Xiaojing thought of Ye Qingqing at home, and then thought of the gold bracelet he bought for her.

This little money-grubber will definitely like this heavy gold bracelet.

Thinking of his wife's surprised look when she received the gold bracelet, Tang Xiaojing's face was full of joy and anticipation.

Even the tiredness from the journey seemed to disappear. From time to time, he urged the slow-moving old ox in front of him, hoping to get home quickly.

The letter from home wrote the specific time when the group would return. After lunch, dozens of people from the Wang, Ye and Tang families were waiting at the entrance of the village.

At first, only family members were waiting, but later people from the village came over to watch the fun, including a few people from the neighboring village.

When the two ox carts entered the village, almost half of the people in Taohua Village came, and a large group of people gathered at the entrance of the village.

Ye Qingmei and her second aunt were the most anxious. As soon as they saw their second cousin driving the carriage, they ran over immediately.

"How did your son do on the test?"

"Did you pass the government exam?"

Seeing that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were so anxious that their shoes fell off, the second cousin quickly said with a smile:

"He passed the exam! He passed the exam! Our Yaozu will be a Tongsheng in the future!"

"They all passed the exam. The three brothers are all Tongsheng." Tang Xiaojing on the side added with a smug look on his face.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law cried with joy and hugged each other.

The most excited person was the village chief, who shouted in a hoarse voice:

"The ancestors showed their power. Three students were born at the same time. In the August examination, there will definitely be a scholar in the village!"

As he spoke, he quickly took the three new students to the ancestral hall to kowtow and burn incense to their ancestors.

The three brothers were all honest people. They kowtowed quite hard, and when they came out of the ancestral hall, their foreheads were all red.

When they returned home, the gifts in large and small packages found their respective owners, and the laughter of the three families could be heard throughout half of the village.

Ye Qingqing returned to the room with a grin on her face, holding the silk fabric bought by her son in one hand and the big gold bracelet given by the husband in the other. She couldn't stop smiling.

"Such a beautiful thing, am I dreaming?" As she said this, she pinched her thigh foolishly.

"Shh, it hurts so much, it seems this is true, my son really passed the exam and became a Tongsheng!"

Ye Qingqing, with a silly smile on her face, suddenly kissed the silk fabric and the big gold bracelet in her hands hard.

"When Chenchen passes the imperial examination, I will wear this silk dress, put on a big gold bracelet, and go to the village to show off!"

"There is also a new embroidery of a fish leaping over the dragon gate that needs to be hung up quickly."

Chenchen and others will go back to the academy to continue their studies the day after tomorrow. The three families discussed it and decided to hold a buffet together.

Various ingredients and food have been prepared long ago.

The Ye family prepared a big fat pig weighing more than 200 kilograms and two loads of spring bamboo shoots. Tangshan also brought back two wild goats and a dozen fat rabbits.

The Wang family raised a lot of chickens and ducks, and they took out 35 of each, as well as several large baskets full of eggs.

In addition, they packed all the pastries.

As for fresh vegetables, the Wang family and the Ye family can just pool their resources, and there is also a lot of water celery over there in the small back hill.

The drinks were the finest wine the three of them had bought in the city.

The family was excitedly discussing the procedures of the buffet, while the three brothers brought the cakes and study treasures they bought in the city and happily went to visit Master Ming.

When they came back, the three brothers got several books full of annotations and several sets of real examination questions from previous years.

The next day, the three families happily held a buffet banquet, and the whole Taohua Village was filled with the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers.

The noise was so loud that even the dogs in the village were scared away and dared not go out.

The banquet was held all the way from the beginning to the end of the village. The tables were filled with various delicious dishes, exquisite cakes, and fine wine bought from the capital.

Everyone in Taohua Village, regardless of gender, age or status, can come and enjoy the buffet for free, and no gifts are required.

For a moment, the whole village was immersed in a festive and lively atmosphere, and the faces of men, women, young and old were all filled with happy smiles.

Bustling and bustling.

The villagers gathered around and toasted the three brothers enthusiastically, but Ye Donglin blocked them all because the children were still young.

Everyone was very satisfied with the buffet and was full of praise for the three brothers, saying they had great potential.

The children in the village looked at them with envy and admiration, thinking that they also wanted to study.

The banquet was very lively and grand, but the three brothers only attended the first day as they had to go back to the academy to study.

After all, there are only three months left until the college entrance examination in August, and time is extremely precious for them.

There is a huge difference between a tongsheng and a xiucai, and this academy examination is an important test that determines their fate.

However, for the villagers who came to eat the buffet, it made no difference whether the protagonist was present or not, because the buffet was still there anyway.

This is the real owner!
