After fleeing famine, I have thousands of acres of fertile land

The people at the entrance of the village stood up. There was no happy event in the village. Could it be that the Huangniu Village in front was coming to Ji Village to get married?

That’s not right. This time is a bit late. It’s better to get married earlier than this.

Everyone was chatting and waiting to see the fun. Old Man Ye and Ye Qing were not in a hurry to go home. They were waiting to see which family was having a wedding.

Not long after, I saw a group of people in the distance.

"Grandpa seems to be a government official, but he's a little far away and can't be seen clearly."

Old man Ye squinted his eyes and looked carefully, but as he was old, his eyesight was not as good as that of a child, so he could not see clearly what the man was wearing.

"Let's wait and see, it should be a good thing, but I don't know which village it will be." Old man Ye said, stroking his beard.

The people at the village entrance were also busy, talking about something.

Old Man Ye's hands were shaking a little, and he looked very excited but also suppressing his emotions.

Ye Qing helped Old Man Ye and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Old Man Ye glanced around and whispered to Ye Qing, "Maybe one of your brothers passed the exam."

Ye Qing was stunned for a moment, and after calculating the date, it was almost the day when the results would be announced.

Ye Qing wanted to say something but was stopped by Old Man Ye. This was still just a guess. If others heard it, and he didn't pass the exam, he would be laughed at.

After waiting for a while, the group of people got closer and closer, and Ye Qing's heart beat faster and faster.

"Grandpa might really be here for my brother. I'll go home and tell him so that the family can be prepared."

Old Man Ye stared at her without blinking, then waved his hand and told her to go back first.

Ye Qing ran home excitedly, and the pepper leaves in his backpack fell out, and he didn't even bother to pick them up.

"Mom, a group of officials have come to the outside of the village." Ye Qing was so tired that he was panting and spoke incoherently.

Zhou was panicking. What had happened? No one in the village had committed any crime. Could it be that there was chaos outside again?

Ye Qing could tell at a glance that Zhou was thinking in the wrong direction, "Mom, they are here beating drums and gongs, could it be that one of my brothers has passed the exam?"

Zhou waited for a few days but received no news and thought she had failed the exam this year.

"Qingya, what should I do? Change into new clothes." Zhou had never experienced such a thing.

Wei Xin heard the noise and came out of the house, "Mom, prepare some money for the wedding and give it to the messenger later."

Zhou finally felt more confident and went back to her room and put the money in a red envelope.

"Sister-in-law, it's not certain whether this is the case. I saw it from a distance and came back to report it first."

Wei Xin was sweeping the yard with a broom while talking to Ye Qing, "It's okay, just preparing. Qingya, do you want to tell your second and third uncles?"

Ye Qing turned around and went out, "I'll go tell them so that they can be mentally prepared."

Ye Qing ran very fast, and all three families said something.

Second Uncle Ye and Third Uncle Ye went out and came to the Ye family’s house, standing at the door looking towards the village entrance.

When Ye Lao Da and Ye Da Lang came back from the fields and heard about this, they washed and changed their clothes, hoping that it was true.

When Boss Ye came out of the house again, they could hear the sound of gongs and drums at the door. The three of them couldn't help but walk towards the village entrance.

After taking a few steps, I saw Old Man Ye and a group of officials walking towards this side happily.

Looking at Old Man Ye's appearance, my heart began to beat faster. Could it be that there really was a promising child in his family?

The police were followed by many villagers who came to watch the fun, and there were a few children running in front.

"Sir, please come this way. This is my old home." Old man Ye's face was full of smiles.

Some people also saw Boss Ye and congratulated him with a smile.

Boss Ye felt dizzy and his mind was not working.

"Is this Ye Chenjing's home?" a leading officer asked politely.

Boss Ye quickly replied, "It's Ye Chenjing's family, I'm his father."

"We are here to congratulate Master Ye. Ye Chenjing ranked 35th in the exam and is now a Tongsheng Master."

Boss Ye quickly handed the red envelopes that Zhou had handed over to the officials, "Thank you, sirs. I'm giving you some good luck."

Seeing how sensible Ye was, several officers took the money and spoke more politely.

"Please come and have a seat at my house and have a simple meal." Boss Ye said to them.

"No, we have another family to send off, so we won't bother you anymore." After saying that, he was about to leave.

At this time, the village head came over with a smile on his face.

Seeing several officers about to leave, he hurried forward to greet them.

"Ye Lizheng, where is Ye Chenyu's home?"

When Ye Laosan heard this, he looked up in surprise. Could his family also have a student?

"Sir, Ye Chenjing is my family." Ye Lao San responded quickly.

The leading officer looked at Ye Lao San and asked, "Are your two families one family?"

Ye Lao San quickly replied, "They are one family, but now they are separated."

"Don't call me sir, call me Brother Liu." When the officers heard that the two were relatives, they showed admiration on their faces.

Old man Ye’s eyes were almost invisible from laughing. Both of his grandsons passed the exam. Who in the village could be more fortunate than him?

Wei was waiting anxiously at home. She first heard the sound of gongs and drums stop, then start again, and the sound was getting closer and closer.

"Mom, my dad brought them to our house." Ye Xiang came in to inform Wei.

Wei was so happy that she stood up and walked out. Ye Xiang took the red envelope he had prepared and chased after her.

As they reached the door, they ran into Ye Lao San who came in. Ye Xiang stuffed the red envelope into his hand.

Official Liu read out the rankings, "Ye Chenyu, 20th place in the prefectural exam, congratulations."

Ye Laosan was so happy that he stuffed money into the hands of several people and invited them into the house for dinner.

Ye Li was outside and heard it clearly, so he quickly came in with a few elders.

"My dears, please come home and have a seat, drink some water and take a rest." Old Man Ye greeted them.

Several officials had snatched up this job just to get the wedding money. Now that they had taken the money, they came in and sat down to drink tea.

Wei took Ye Xiang to get tea leaves to make tea. When they were busy, Zhou and Shen came over with their girls to help.

The head of the village called a few young men from the clan to help, and prepared a table of dishes for the officials in the house to eat.

There were crowds of people surrounding the gate, all of them came to watch the fun. They were also very happy in their hearts because there was a boy in the village, and they would have something to talk about with people when they went out in the future.

The Ye family members were busy, and the people outside gradually dispersed, waiting to have a good time tomorrow.

Ye Qing asked Ye Xuan to help pick up his two brothers from the city, and to congratulate the teacher and thank him for his teaching, which helped his two brothers pass the examination and become students.

In the room, Ye Li was drinking with the officials, along with the clan elders and the three brothers of the Ye family. They drank for nearly two hours before they put down their chopsticks.

Ye Xuan also brought back a few scholars. Ye Chenjing and Ye Chenyu thanked the officials respectfully.

Several officials hid aside and did not receive the full greeting. The two scholars were not very old and had a bright future, which they could not even compare to.

The two sides chatted for a while, and the village head asked several young men from the clan to drive ox carts to send the officials back.
