After the cannon fodder father and daughter married into the family, the whole family regretted it

After making sure that nothing was left behind, Fang Tong went to return the key to the courtyard. When Qian Fengping got on the ox cart, she suddenly remembered something.

"Shouldn't this government office send an official to the village to deliver the good news? Could we have missed it?"

Fang Tong was stunned and slapped his thigh: "It seems so. The county exam is for the top scorer to announce the good news, and the prefectural exam is for everyone who makes the list to have a yamen runner announce the good news. Let's hurry back and don't miss it!"

"We should still have time. Let's go back. Hurry up, I'll catch the bus soon. Everyone, hold on tight!"

The family hurried back.

In Mushan Village, the Qin family father and son have returned.

Qin Gaofei was much more low-key when he entered the village this time. Although there were still many trustworthy villagers who came up to ask how he did in the exam, he did not brag too much.

After all, he passed the county exam last time, but failed the provincial exam later. He felt very ashamed for a while.

But since someone asked him, he just said that his son passed the exam. The villagers still thought it was great and would praise him a few words.

"Okay, okay, as long as you pass the exam, and even rank fifth, I'd say you'll definitely pass the provincial exam this time!"

"That's right, there are a lot of old people taking the exam. You better be careful this time and don't get sick again!"

"You've got to be a scholar, and have a bright future. If I were to ask you, among all the scholars in our village, you're the one I'm most optimistic about!"

Everyone was chatting happily in the village when they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums. They turned around and saw that it was the yamen runners from the county town!

"Is this the good news? Is it for your house?"

Qin Gaofei was stunned for a moment, but didn't dare to say anything, because he knew that in addition to his son, Qin Yan also won.

Qin Shucai knew that no one would announce the good news of his fifth place in the county examination.

The bailiff entered the village and saw them and asked for directions.

"Just asking, where is Qin Yan's home?"

Cheng Dafu, who was in the crowd, scratched his head and pointed the way: "Go past seven or eight houses ahead, there's one with a door and a wall. It's on the right."

Cheng Dafu is a trustworthy and courageous person.

"Hey, sir, what are you doing at Qin Yan's house?"

"Of course it's good news. Qin Yan from your village won first place in the county examination."

These people in the village don’t understand this.

"What's the first case?"

Someone who understood exclaimed, "The top scorer in the county exam, isn't that the first place?!"

This time, the villagers were furious!

"What?! Qin Yan is the first in the case?!"

"No, no, first of all, when did Qin Yan take the imperial examination?"

"That's still not right. Isn't Qin Yan disabled in his legs? How could he have participated in the imperial examination?"

Everyone in the village was confused, and the yamen runners didn't understand either. What were they talking about?

They had important things to do, so they went straight to Qin Yan's house.

The villagers were so curious that they all wanted to go and see what was going on. Many people even thought that they might have made a mistake and confused it with another village with the same name?

But I feel that Qin Yan's name is not very common.

After these people left, Qin Gaofei and his son were left there. Qin Gaofei was a little confused. It turned out that it was not only the provincial examination that reported good news, but also the county examination that did not report good news. In fact, only the first place in the county examination would report good news.

He sighed, feeling a little unbalanced. What’s the big deal about being first? As long as he’s on the list, won’t it all be useful?

He comforted himself in this way, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

When the father and son returned home, before their family could be happy about Qin Shucai's success this time, they had already heard about Qin Yan's situation. Everyone was immediately as upset as if they had swallowed fly shit and found it hard to accept.

Ever since Qin Yan's father died, his clan no longer took the mother and daughter seriously.

In the past, she could still look up to Qin Yan, after all, he was educated. But ever since Qin Yan became disabled, she knew how they treated him and his mother.

Everyone thought I was a useless person who would never be able to stand up again in this life.

Qin Yan suddenly became successful, which made me feel a little uncomfortable.

Little He couldn't hold back her words and couldn't help but complain a few words: "Son, you say you are no worse than Qin Yan. Why didn't you study harder? If you could get the first place in the exam, you would be the one in the limelight right now!"

Qin Shucai stood there, his face pale.

When the Qin clan leader saw this, he immediately turned around and scolded his daughter-in-law: "Do you think the imperial examination is a joke? You can take whatever rank you want. That government office is owned by your family? You have the final say?"

After giving his daughter-in-law a good scolding, he turned to look at his grandson with a kind face.

"Shucai, don't take your mother's words seriously. She doesn't understand anything. Don't take it to heart."

Chief Qin was a sensible man. Although he was very unhappy about Qin Yan's matter, he had to deal with it separately. One cannot write two characters for Qin with one stroke.

"If Qin Yan's family holds a banquet later, I'll send some gifts to save face."

Qin Gaofei and his wife were shocked when they heard their father's decision.

"Why? It's just Qin Yan, whose hair hasn't even grown out yet..."

Patriarch Qin glared at them, and the two men dared not speak anymore. He turned around and told his grandson to go back and rest first.

Qin Shucai also knew that they didn't want to say anything unpleasant in front of him, and he didn't want to listen either, so he turned around and left.

After he left, Patriarch Qin's expression became even uglier.

"You brainless bastards! How could my Qin family have two idiots like you! If it weren't for your talent for books, I would have kicked you two out long ago!"

"The situation is stronger than the person, understand? Qin Yan has made great progress. What good can you gain by opposing him? In the imperial examination, you only get as many points as you can. Can it be said that without Qin Yan, Shucai will be able to get the first place?"

He sighed, "Before, the most valuable thing about the Qin Yan family was their business recipes, but now that Qin Yan has passed the exam, things are different. Being able to get first place at such a young age shows that he has real talent and knowledge. Make friends with him. Whether you like him or not, it will always be good for his studies."

"I don't care what you two think, but if you block Shucai's way, even if you are his parents, don't blame me for being rude!"

After being scolded by the Qin clan leader, Qin Gaofei and his wife became silent.

They also knew in their hearts that this father didn't care about them, only his grandchildren.

Chief Qin chased them both away to avoid getting angry.

He knew in his heart that as long as the first place in the county examination did not go wrong in the provincial examination, he would almost certainly pass the exam. The rest depended on his ranking.

I have to cover up my past mistakes while the other person is not in a high position, otherwise what will I do if Qin Yan takes revenge on me later?

At this moment, the yamen runners were already busy at the Qin family's house. Fang Yin, Tiezhu and others came back from the fields. The owner was not at home, so the yamen runners came out to greet them and directly served each of them a bowl of milk.

The yamen runners were stunned. It was their first time announcing good news, and drooling would be enough. And someone was even offering milk?!
