The couple in the last days traveled to ancient times, farming and storing grain and meat in the war

"Don't worry." The tribesmen laughed.

After arriving in town, Xiao Yan went to the academy.

Jiang Ningning and the others started shopping.

Not only do you have to buy things for the wedding banquet, but you also have to buy ingredients and other things for setting up your stall tomorrow.

There is a happy event at home, but business must also be carried out.

Tian and his family definitely won’t be able to set up a stall in the county these days, but they can hire more people.

She had originally planned to open a barbecue stall once the sausage business in the county stabilized, but that would require hiring staff.

It’s just a matter of hiring someone a few days in advance.

Naturally, they would hire from the Xiao family.

However, she couldn't let the Xiao family be employed by her family forever. This was not conducive to the development of the family. If she and her husband wanted to have no worries in the future, the Xiao family had to develop as well.

Once her barbecue business becomes stable, she will find a business for the Xiao family to make a living of their own.

This is the long-term solution.

Before Jiang Ningning and the others had bought much, Xiao Yan had already arrived at the academy.

In addition to Xiao Yan, Xie Jing and Xu Ji, there are two other students in Honghu Academy who have passed the examination and become scholars. However, they are not in Xiao Yan's class, but in the same academy.

The two students were ranked 23rd and 47th respectively.

In Dengping County, the top scorer in every imperial examination was a student from a large academy. This was the first time that a student from an academy in a small town won the top spot, and Honghu Academy became famous because of this.

Naturally, many people began to investigate the history of Honghu Academy, and discovered that in every previous academy examination, there were students from Honghu Academy who passed the examination and became scholars...

Honghu Academy naturally became lively, and many people wanted to send their children to Honghu Academy. They either came to the academy in person to inquire or sent someone to inquire.

However, not everyone can enter Honghu Academy. One must take an exam and only those who pass the exam can enter.

Mr. Wen is currently discussing when to allow those who wish to enter Honghu Academy to take the "entrance examination."

When Xiao Yan arrived, he saw that the gentlemen were busy, so he waited outside the museum.

It was not until a gentleman came out and spotted him that he was allowed to go in quickly, saying that he was not discussing anything important.

The gentlemen were naturally happy to see him.

They originally thought that this student could pass the exam to become a scholar, but he failed because he was under too much pressure.

Now that he passed the exam, they were not surprised, but they did not expect that he would be the first.

However, when they saw the answer sheets of the top ten students copied from the examination hall and distributed to various colleges, they understood.

Although some of the ideas on this student's answer sheet may seem rebellious, they are extremely novel;

It seems to have broken away from orthodox thinking, but it is actually a viewpoint derived from orthodoxy. If there is no orthodoxy, there will be no such thoughts and insights. It has a sense of being ahead of the times. In short, it is extremely eye-catching and unconventional.

After Xiao Yan finished his greetings and said that he was here to invite them to a banquet tomorrow, the gentlemen naturally agreed.

After Xiao Yan left, one of the gentlemen smiled and said:

"When we first saw him, even though he was so young, it felt like a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on his shoulders, making him breathless. That's why we named him Ruoqing, hoping that he could handle heavy things with ease. Now, looking at his words and actions, I do think that's the meaning."

"Calm yet dignified, neither hurried nor slow, neither arrogant nor impatient. That's what I meant, that's what I meant." The other gentlemen nodded.

Xiao Yan went to the training ground again.

As soon as he entered the training ground, he saw a sword with a cold glow flying towards him quickly.

Xiao Yan spun around, avoiding the sword tip while grasping the hilt with one hand. Then, he bowed towards the stage and said, "Sir."

Ji Wei was standing on the stage with his hands behind his back, a wine gourd hanging around his waist, and his brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.

This student now reacts quickly.

It's only been a short time since I learned from him, but my body has become so flexible.

Such a fast sword can be easily avoided.

but--

"First place?" Ji Wei frowned even more. He had never dreamed that this student would take the first place in the examination.

There are very few people who are talented in both literature and martial arts. Since this student has such a high talent in martial arts, he subconsciously thinks that he must not be good at liberal arts.

Giving this student a day off was simply to allow him to check his grades and sort out his feelings about not being able to pass the exam.

Who knew, first place!

Ji Wei quickly uncorked the wine gourd and drank a few sips of wine to calm himself down.

This is also the reason why he didn't sleep in the training ground today.

Xiao Yan didn't know what Ji Wei meant, so he just bowed again and answered "yes" truthfully.

Ji Wei's expression was complicated. It wasn't good for his disciple to be too outstanding. The pressure on him as a teacher would be too great.

"Alas!" Ji Wei sighed heavily before saying, "Never mind. I'm still trying my best to teach you."

Then he asked, "What do you want to see me for? Isn't today your day off?"

Xiao Yan then said, "Please come to my house for a feast tomorrow, sir. Mr. Wen and the others will also be there." He added, "By the way, I'd like to ask for three days' leave, sir."

He probably won't be able to attend martial arts classes for the next three days.

He has passed the imperial examination and become a scholar. For a farmer's family, that is a big event that changes their status. They will definitely have to hold a banquet at home, which will be very busy. Ji Wei naturally agreed to let Xiao Yan take three days off.

Just going to eat here...

Ji Wei originally wanted to refuse, but then he thought that he had only taught this one student in his life, and since the other party invited him with good intentions, he decided to go.

By the way, let’s take a look at what kind of family can raise such an outstanding child.

Seeing that Ji Wei also agreed to join the feast, Xiao Yan went to the classroom.

But before he reached the classroom, he ran into Xie Jing and Xu Ji.

The two of them also came to invite the gentlemen to their home for a banquet. Seeing that Xiao Yan had already invited them, and it was for tomorrow, Xie Jing went to invite those for the day after tomorrow, and Xu Ji went to invite those for the day after the day after that.

The two also invited Ji Wei. Although they had never taken martial arts classes, Ji Wei was nominally their martial arts teacher.

However, all the Mr. Wens agreed, but Ji Wei did not agree to go to Xie Jing and Xu Ji's homes.

Then Xiao Yan, Xie Jing and Xu Ji went to the classroom together and agreed with their classmates who had already returned to the academy that they would go to Xiao Yan's house for dinner tomorrow. Xie Jing and Xu Ji would naturally go as well. They would go to Xie Jing's house for dinner the day after tomorrow, and Xu Ji's house for dinner the day after that.

Tao Chengdu didn't even wait for Xiao Yan to speak before saying that he was going to Xiao Yan's house for a meal.

Seeing that Xie Jing and Xu Ji were also here to invite their classmates, Tao Cheng also said that he wanted to go to Xie Jing and Xu Ji's house for dinner.

There were just a few more people, so Xiao Yan and the others naturally had no objection.

Cao Feng and his group were not invited.

Cao Feng and the others had also returned to the academy and were now in the classroom, but they all had their heads down, not daring to look at Xiao Yan. They also looked like they were desperately trying to find a hole to crawl into.

It's usually like this: when the results come out, students who didn't pass the exam will basically return to the college on the same day and continue studying hard.

Only when the students pass the exam will the house be lively for a few days.

However, when Xiao Yan and the others return to the academy again, they will change classes. This is the Tongsheng class, and they will be transferred to the Xiucai class.

Some teachers only have the title of scholar, and once they are transferred to the scholar class, there will be no teacher to teach them anything.

In fact, it is just to give them a quieter environment and let them study on their own.
