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

The head of the case, Qin Yan!

Everyone was shocked, but also felt it was natural. After all, Qin Yan had already won first place in the previous two games.

Fang Tong laughed so hard that he almost lost his mind.

"Hahaha, did you hear that? Qin Yan, the top candidate! He's number one again!"

The people around him smiled at him friendly.

Fang Nanzhi happily circled around her brother three times: "Brother, you are so amazing! Hahahaha, my brother is a virgin!"

Qian Fengping couldn't help but tear up her eyes. Her son was indeed hers!

Listening to the congratulations around him, Qin Yan's thoughts slowly returned to his senses.

He did it, took this step, and passed the examination to become a Tongsheng.

Mr. Zheng told him that passing the examination to become a Tongsheng was equivalent to getting an admission ticket to the imperial examination.

Although it is just an admission ticket, it has stumped countless readers.

A smile slowly appeared on Qin Yan's face.

He thought he could go further and make his family live a better life.

Fang Yin said happily: "My nephew has grown up, my nephew has grown up."

In fact, he was not quite clear about what a Tongsheng was, but he remembered that his elder brother had worked hard for it in the past.

Now his nephew has done it!

If the four of them were restrained in their joy, Fang Tong completely let himself go.

At some point, he had squeezed next to Fang Jin and forcibly pulled him off the carriage, grinning from ear to ear.

"Brother, you're here to watch the fun again! I told you long ago that you have no talent for studying. Look at my son, he only studied for a few months, and he passed the exam on his first try."

"Brother, are you jealous? If I were you, I would find a hole in the ground to hide in."

"However, you are thick-skinned. I can't compare with you in this aspect."

"Brother, you've been studying for so many years, so you must have some experience. You think my son, who has already won the first place in the provincial examination at such a young age, will be able to take the examination for a scholar? Or even higher up to a juren?"

Fang Tong was really happy. In the past, he would have just kept these words to himself and would have been more tactful when speaking out.

Now he had no scruples at all, and each sentence he spoke was like a knife stabbing into Fang Jin's chest.

Fang Jin's face turned green and then black, then black and then green again, changing constantly.

"Fang Tong, don't go too far." He almost gritted his teeth.

"Oh, this is the first time that my cousin said something like this. I still like your arrogant mouth before!" Fang Tong smiled and suddenly his face turned gloomy!

He lowered his voice and moved closer to Fang Jin: "So, cousin, you're also feeling intimidated? I hope you didn't tamper with that note, or I'm not going to let you down."

A look of astonishment crossed Fang Jin's originally angry face. How could he know? He had done it very cleanly, leaving no trace.

He quickly covered it up and played dumb, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about. Don't be too proud. A tree that stands out in the forest will eventually be destroyed by the wind."

Fang Tong kept staring at his expression, and noticed his unnaturalness, which made him feel more at ease.

He must get back this debt.

"Don't worry about this, cousin. Anyway, I'm afraid your abilities will never stand out in the crowd in this lifetime."

There was not much warmth in Fang Tong's tone.

He was filled with anger, but the timing was wrong because there were too many people here.

Moreover, Brother Yan is the first person in the case and many people are watching him. As a father, he cannot fall behind.

He suppressed his emotions, turned around and left, and when he faced his family again, his face was full of joy.

"Congratulations, Brother Qin, for taking the top spot."

Liu Yanming squeezed over and saluted.

Qin Yan quickly returned the greeting: "Congratulations!"

Other students gathered around.

"Congratulations, Master Qin and Master Liu. You two have made the list at such a young age. You are truly outstanding."

"You are so polite, it's all just luck!"

They both went back modestly.

A quarter of an hour later, many of the people gathered here dispersed.

The Fang Tong family then squeezed to the front and took a look at the list with their own eyes.

Only after confirming Qin Yan's name did I feel completely relieved.

"Let's go, let's hurry back to the inn to pack our things and go back to the village! This time we have to get back before the yamen runners come with the good news!" Fang Tong said with a smile.

The family packed their luggage yesterday and now they are back at the inn to check out and leave.

Along the way, Fang Tong's ox cart almost outpaced the horse carriage.

We finally returned in the afternoon.

As luck would have it, I met the yamen runner who came to report the good news at the village entrance.

These yamen runners also came from the provincial capital. They were riding horses, so they were much faster.

But now I was delayed in the county town for a while and had to ask the county yamen runner for directions, so I only arrived at the village entrance now.

As soon as the two parties meet.

When Fang Tong saw them beating drums and gongs, he gave them Hongfeng without saying a word!

"Thank you so much, gentlemen! You've worked so hard, coming all this way!"

The yamen runners who received the red envelope were stunned. Who is this person?

One of them was sharp-eyed and saw Qin Yan, recognized him, and reacted.

"It turned out to be Qin Yan and Qin Tongsheng. We were just about to go home to announce the good news when we ran into him."

"Congratulations, Master Qin, for winning first place!"

When the other yamen runners heard this, they all followed suit and congratulated him.

"Young Master is truly young and promising."

Qin Yan smiled faintly.

"Thank you, brothers. It's great."

Oh, Master Tongsheng calls them big brothers.

Although yamen runners look glorious in front of ordinary people, in the eyes of scholars, they are just errand runners and odd jobs, a low-class job.

This Young Master Qin was different. Not only was he handsome, but he was also very polite. The yamen runners couldn't help but feel a liking for him.

Fang Tong was more direct and took out a handful of red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to them.

"My dear officials, please come and share in the good fortune. Don't be polite."

The yamen runners accepted it readily. Of course they would not be polite. They came all the way from the provincial capital just for the red envelope, right?

"Gentlemen, when we enter the village, please lend a hand when beating the gongs and drums! Our village hasn't had a student for over ten years, so let's make everyone happy."

Fang Tong smiled.

As for his elder brother's success in the exam last year, he had already ignored it. Anyway, his honor was taken away from him later.

The yamen runners looked at each other and understood.

What makes the villagers happy is nothing more than wanting to show off in front of the whole village.

Well, it’s only natural that his own son would show off a little since he passed the provincial examination and got first place.

The yamen runners responded in unison.

Some immediately struck gongs, some beat drums, and some shouted out the good news!

"Congratulations to Young Master Qin Yan from Mushan Village for taking first place in the high school entrance exam!"

"Dong Dong Dong!!"

The yamen runners walked in front, beating gongs and drums.

Fang Tong deliberately slowed down the ox cart and followed behind.

Qin Yan was a bit shy: "Dad, isn't this too ostentatious?"

"You're young and don't understand. How many chances can a person have in his lifetime to get first place in the Central Prefecture Examination? Isn't it just this once? We must publicize it well."

Fang Tong said as a matter of course.

Qin Yan was stunned for a moment, it seemed to make some sense.

When he takes the exam again in the future, it will be the academy examination or the provincial examination, and he will never have to take the prefectural examination again. But isn't it only once in a lifetime?

Fang Nanzhi nodded in agreement.

"Dad, when I finish my training and become a disciple, can you hire someone to play gongs and drums for me so that I can become famous in the village?"

The little girl looked expectant.

Fang Tong touched his chin, thought about it, and agreed.

Yes, I have to spread the word about my daughter and let everyone know that she has medical skills, otherwise why would people come to her for treatment?

Qin Yan's face turned black after hearing this.

If a doctor wants to become famous, he must rely on real medical skills, not these.

Before he could say anything, Qian Fengping had already pulled him to her side, straightened his clothes and combed his hair.

"Brother Yan, everyone in the village will be here to watch the fun, so you have to pay attention to your image."

When Fang Nanzhi heard this, he followed to help.

Qin Yan never had the chance to speak again.

Thanks to the efforts of the yamen runners, many villagers were attracted.

"This scene of gongs and drums looks familiar."

"This is incredible! Smoke is rising from the Qin family's ancestral graves! Qin Yan has passed the Tongsheng exam."

"Look at what you said. Qin Yan's father is a scholar, isn't it normal for his son to pass the exam? No, what? Qin Yan passed the exam? How long has he been studying?"

The villagers gathered around and talked a lot.

Of course they did not dare to block the yamen runners' way, but just gathered around and talked among themselves.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin Yan from Mushan Village for winning the first place in the prefectural case..." the bailiff shouted again.

"He's the top candidate again. Isn't that the first place? The Qin family kid is so amazing."

"Good boy, Fang Tong finally got it. My son is so promising."

Cheng Dafu's voice was the loudest.

After saying that, he glanced back and said, "Tongzi, you guys are back?"

Mrs. Lu's eyes turned red with jealousy, and she spat, "Isn't it just that your son passed the imperial examination? You're so proud of it, your tails are almost up to the sky."

Her saliva landed very accurately on the upper of the yamen runner's shoe.

The bailiff's face immediately darkened and he was about to draw his knife from his waist.

"How dare you attack the police, you unruly commoner!"

When the gleaming knife came out, Mrs. Lu was so frightened that she took several steps back.

Her face turned pale as she explained, "Sir, how dare I do that? I wasn't targeting you..."

The bailiff didn't listen to her. These shoes were made by his new wife, and he hadn't even worn them many times.

Seeing how ferocious he was, Lu became even more afraid.

She was not stupid, and in desperation she shouted at the ox cart.

"Fang Tong, my sister-in-law treats you well every day. Come on, say something for her!"

Fang Tong pretended not to hear.

Not to mention that Sister-in-law Lu was being sarcastic to them just now, just listening to these words, how can you say that Sister-in-law treats you well?

They are not real uncle and sister-in-law, and it sounds like there is something going on between them.

What if he spoke up and was misunderstood?

He Fangtong is a good woman.

Just as the bailiffs were about to arrest someone, Lu's man, Lu Dagun, still squeezed out from the crowd.

He looked at his wife with disgust, but still stood in front of her and bowed to the yamen runners.

"Sir, women are ignorant, please don't be angry. I will compensate you for these shoes and give you a new pair!"

"Bah! Do you think I need a pair of shoes?" The bailiff said with a dark face.

These shoes of his were made by his wife. Can any other pair of shoes compare to them?

Seeing this, Cheng Dafu couldn't help but poke Lu Dagun and lowered his voice: "Brother Lu, why are you still being stingy at this time? Hurry up and say you will pay me back."

Lu Dagun's face turned bitter. He was ugly to begin with, and now his facial features were even more wrinkled.

He turned around and kicked his wife hard, then said, "Sir, I will compensate you."

As he spoke, he took out a few coins from his pocket.

I wanted to take a piece from it, but the yamen runner had already snatched it all away.

"Okay, you're smart. Take good care of your wife. Young Master Qin Yan is a student now. There are many important people in the city who appreciate him, but he is different from you."

He deliberately raised his voice for the second half of the sentence, saying it for the whole village to hear.

It's considered giving face to the Qin family.

Fang Tong was happy, but he had to keep a straight face. He thought that when he got home, he would have to give the yamen runners two more red envelopes.

In this way, the yamen runners beat drums and gongs in front, the villagers followed on both sides in a lively manner, and Fang Tong drove the ox cart behind, and they all arrived at the Qin family.

The door had been opened a long time ago, and Tiezhu and the others were smiling with their front teeth showing.

"Come in, please."

Fang Tong also jumped off the ox cart and quickly ran forward a few steps to greet them.

"Please take a seat, sirs."

At this moment, the village chief also arrived. Fang Tong invited him in and asked him to take a seat.

Tiezhu and the others found some firecrackers from somewhere and just hung them on the wall and lit them.

The "crackling" sound echoed throughout the yard, adding a bit of liveliness.

Fang Nanzhi cleverly served tea to the yamen runners.

The yamen runners drank the water and stayed for a while out of courtesy.

He shared the good news with the village chief and the people gathered inside and outside the Qin family's yard, and explained how rare it was to get the first place in the provincial examination.

That was the result among hundreds of people!

Everyone was amazed when they heard it.

"You know what? I've noticed it a long time ago. Qin Yan has been different from other kids since he was young. He's very smart. Sure enough, he's become a virgin now."

"You've already figured it out. Last year, didn't you say Qin Yan had a bad life? He lost his father and is disabled, and he didn't know how he was going to survive in the future?"

"Pfft, pfft, pfft, I never said that. I've always wanted Qin Yan's children. My grandson is far inferior to him."

The old lady immediately became anxious and hurried to cover the man's mouth.

I thought they had never been enemies before, so why would he try to sabotage her now? And what if the Qin family held a grudge against him if he said that?

Didn't the yamen runner say that the Qin family is different from them? They are no longer peasants.

The people around burst into laughter when they saw it!

The yamen runners stayed at the Qin family for half an hour before leaving.

It would be too late if they didn't leave now. They almost forgot that two people in Mushan Village had passed the imperial examination, and there was still one family that had not yet reported the good news.

"Where does Qin Shucai live?" asked a yamen runner.

Fang Tong didn't need to answer, as those who were watching the fun would show him the way.

"The grandson of the Qin clan leader also passed the exam?" Some people believed it.

"Master Qin Shucai ranked 32nd in the provincial examination."

The yamen runners went to the Qin clan leader's house with drums and gongs.

Everyone's enthusiasm has not diminished at all.

"32nd? Isn't that way behind Qin Yan?"

"Look at what you said. The first place in the case is the best. There is only one such person in several counties. How can ordinary people compare to him? In my opinion, Qin Shucai is not bad. At least he passed the exam! Fang Jinlian didn't even pass the county exam."
