Sweet baby milk, bring the whole family rich
Chapter 65: Passed the Imperial Examination
"Then how do we get these things to town to sell?" Hua Niang asked. Although the second and fourth sons were going to town to sell these things, these things were still a bit heavy, and it was a bit unrealistic to ask them to walk so far to town.
"Mom, let's ask Brother Tingshen to help with the carpentry so that we can push the cart there more conveniently." Yun Tingqing said to his mother. This was the drawing that Tianbao had just handed to him. There was a picture of a cart on it, and a lot of things could be loaded on the cart.
Speaking of this blueprint, it was last night when Tiantian saw that her points had exceeded 1,000, so she rewarded herself with a lottery. What she won was this blueprint and some other miscellaneous things. She didn't know when she could use them, so she put all the things in the warehouse. Just now, when she heard her mother ask this, she quietly put the blueprint in Yun Tingqing's hand.
Old Lady Yun didn't know what carpentry was talking about, but her third child was a person with ideas, so she nodded to Yun Tingqing and said, "Then don't go empty-handed, but give Tingshen some money."
"Mom, we also need to buy some bowls and chopsticks so that the guests can eat more conveniently." Xiangdong said to Old Lady Yun. Just as Old Lady Yun was about to nod, she heard Yun Tingqing say, "Mom, there's a shop on that street that rents bowls, chopsticks, tables, and benches. We can just go there and rent them when the time comes. It's not worth buying them."
"My son is really thoughtful. Let's rent it."
After discussing these things, Yun Tingqing took Tiantian to Yun Tingshen's house. It happened that Yun Tingshen was the only one at home.
"Brother Tingshen, see if you can draw this thing." Yun Tingqing handed the cart drawing to Yun Tingshen. Yun Tingshen took the drawing and looked at it. The more he looked at it, the more shocked he was. The person who drew this drawing was really an amazing person.
"Third brother, I need to study this thing. It may take seven days to make it. If you are in a hurry, go to the town to find someone to beat you up." Yun Tingshen said to Yun Tingshu.
Seven days. Yun Tingqing hadn't thought it would take that long, but since he had given the blueprints to Yun Tingshen, there was no point in asking anyone else for the job. So he said to Yun Tingshen, "Brother Tingshen, when you're done, just ask my eldest brother to come get it. This is the silver, and you must accept it."
Yun Tingshen did not refuse the money. After all, this was a big job, unlike the small bed he had made before, which could be completed in a few hours.
Just as Yun Tingqing was about to leave his great-grandfather's house, he saw his second brother running towards him in a hurry. He thought something big had happened at home.
"Second brother, don't be anxious, talk slowly." Yun Tingqing looked at Yun Tingchang who was very excited in front of him and hurriedly comforted him.
However, Yun Tingchang said anxiously, "How can I not be anxious! Come home with me." Before he finished speaking, he hugged Tiantian in his arms, tightly grasped Yun Tingqing's hand, and ran home impatiently. Along the way, Yun Tingqing anxiously asked, "Second brother, what happened at home? Why are you so anxious to call me back?"
Yun Tingchang ran, panting as he replied, "You... passed, you passed the imperial examination! The village head just came home to tell us the good news, and said that the messenger with the good news would be arriving soon, so he asked me to come back to find you."
Upon hearing the news that he had passed the imperial examination, Yun Tingqing felt an irrepressible joy and excitement in his heart, and his pace involuntarily quickened.
When they finally reached the doorstep, they could hear the sounds of gongs and drums and the clatter of footsteps from afar. When they entered the yard, they saw it packed with members of the Yun family, their faces filled with ecstatic smiles.
After learning that Yun Tingqing had passed the imperial examination, everyone was extremely excited, some even overwhelmed with excitement. At this moment, two messengers came in with the good news. They were dressed in bright red silk, adding a festive and solemn atmosphere to the whole scene.
A man in front of them held a gong, another held documents, and a group of villagers followed behind them, watching the excitement. They arrived at the Yun family's gate and watched Yun Tingqing pass the imperial examination, their hearts filled with joy and pride. Although this wasn't a happy event for their family, as members of the same clan, they felt immensely honored.
"Good news! Master Yun Ting Qingyun from Yunjia Village, Yunjia Town, won the honor of first place in this provincial examination! This is the good news! Congratulations, masters and ladies!" The person who brought the good news shouted loudly.
"Congratulations!" Old Lady Yun excitedly stepped forward and stuffed the purse she had prepared in advance into the two men's hands, saying gratefully, "Thank you both for your hard work in making this trip. If you don't mind, please come in and have a cup of tea."
The man who brought the good news took the silver and immediately showed a bright smile on his face. He politely declined, "Madam, you are too polite. My brother and I are in a hurry to go to other people's houses to announce the good news. We can't stay here any longer." After that, he hurriedly left the Yun family yard.
Old Lady Yun had been trying to remain calm, but she finally gave up and collapsed. Fortunately, Old Man Yun was quick to support her.
"Son, is this Jieyuan good or bad?" Old Lady Yun asked, holding her son's hand. Her eyes revealed a hint of confusion and worry, as if she was overwhelmed by this sudden news.
Yun Tingqing was actually quite surprised. He had originally thought he would be able to get a good ranking, but he never expected to become the first place in this provincial examination! He couldn't help but feel a surge of surprise and pride in his heart.
"Mom, Jieyuan is the first place." Yun Tingqing's voice was filled with excitement. He held his mother's hand tightly, trying to reassure her.
"First place..." Old Lady Yun muttered to herself, tears slipping unconsciously from her eyes. She quickly wiped them away with her sleeve, her eyes filled with joy and emotion. Then, she and Old Man Yun walked into the house together and solemnly lit a few incense sticks at the ancestral tablets to express their gratitude for their ancestors' protection.
At this moment, the people gathered in the Yun family courtyard, when they heard the news that Yun Tingqing won first place, rushed forward and vied with each other to congratulate him. For a moment, congratulations were heard one after another.
"Congratulations, the third son of the Yun family." someone shouted.
"Why call him the Third Brother of the Yun Family? Now we should call him Master Yun." Someone next to him suddenly interrupted. This caused a burst of laughter, and everyone nodded in agreement.
When the others heard this, they immediately changed their words and said, "Congratulations, Master Yun, congratulations." They smiled and sincerely congratulated Yun Tingqing.
However, Yun Tingqing felt quite uncomfortable with this new title. After all, these neighbors had watched him grow up, and now being called "Master" made him feel decades older. But in the face of everyone's enthusiastic congratulations, he could only smile and respond one by one, expressing his gratitude.
Yun Tingqing said seriously, "Uncles and aunts, please stop teasing me. I'm just a junior. You can just call me the third oldest of the Yun family, or just call me by my name."
Seeing that Yun Tingqing did not act superior because of his success, the villagers were very happy. After all, it was a great joy for the village to have a successful candidate. If people from other villages knew about it, it would definitely make it easier for people in Yunjia Village to get married.
At this time, the village head spoke up: "Old Third, this time you have brought honor to our village and to our Yun family! You must study hard in the future and strive to become the top scorer in the imperial examination, so as to bring more glory to our village."
Yun Tingqing has always held the village head in high esteem. His early education benefited from his help. Therefore, in his heart, the village head is more than just a head, but also as important as his mentor.
Hearing the encouragement and expectations from the village head, Yun Tingqing replied seriously, "I will definitely work hard."
"This is a reward from the village. Take it. I'll leave first." The village head handed the silver to Yun Tingqing, then slowly left the Yun family with a hunched back. Looking at the village head's departing back, Yun Tingqing suddenly felt a lump in his throat. It turned out that the village head was no longer young.
When the others saw that the head of the village and the village chief had left, they also dispersed.
"Third uncle is great." Tiantian had wanted to talk to her third uncle just now, but as a sensible child, she knew that she should not interrupt when adults were talking, so she waited until they finished talking before running to her third uncle and congratulating him.
Yun Tingqing picked up Tiantian and held her high up in his arms: "Our Tiantian is such a lucky star."
Tiantian's face turned red when she was praised. She had prepared a lot of flattery, but Wangzi ignored it all. All that was left was the sound of her and her uncle laughing.
Yun Tingqing didn't stay home for long. After all, the more important provincial exam was coming in February of the following year. So the next day, he set off to register for the county academy. Yun Tingqing was the only one in the entire Yunjia Town academy who had a spot there, after all, he was the top scorer.
The Yun family was very worried about him being away from home. Everyone talked to him for a long time before he left, and Tiantian also took a lot of things from the space to give to Yun Tingqing just in case.
