Jiang Qingshi lived in the county for ten days. The first three days were spent studying books, the middle three days were used for exams, and the last four days were spent wandering around the county and making friends along the way.The county seat is relatively large and prosperous, the yamen is very grand, and the restaurants are even more high-end.

Jiang Qingshi brought Zhang Mutou. This man is taciturn but careful, and he is very skilled. Jiang Qingshi prefers to use him.Sure enough, Zhang Mutou remembered all Du Wanshu's explanations, a clean inn, a clean room.Zhang Mutou is also very good. Now that there are so many candidates, he can still find such a good place, but the price is a bit more expensive, but the environment is very good and the food is delicious, so expensive is expensive.

For the first three days, Jiang Qingshi barely left the house. Except for the third day, when he exchanged with Liu Chun, who had just been recruited for the school exam, he read books, wrote, and calmed down his emotions by himself, so he must perform well in the exam.

On the morning of the fourth day, Zhang Mutou put all the things he needed and a bunch of big money into the carrying box prepared by Du Wanshu. This kind of box was specially made by Du Wanshu, and it was divided into three layers. The first layer was used by Jiang Qingshi. The pen and ink he was used to, although there were in the examination room, but Du Wanshu was afraid that Jiang Qingshi would not be used to it, so he brought it with him.The second layer is all kinds of food wrapped in oil paper, all of which can be stored.There are also two packs of tea leaves specially prepared by Du Wanshu. They taste very fragrant, even if you can't drink them, they still smell pleasant.The third floor is the deepest, and a half-meter-square blanket is laid down, which can be worn if it gets cold at night.

In addition, Zhang Mumu also prepared a package, which contained two thick clothes and the string of money.Clothes are for sleeping, lest Jiang Qingshi think that the straw mat is cold and dirty, so they are not very good materials, but they keep warm, and the night in late October is already a bit cold.As for the string of money, it was reserved for Jiang Qingshi to buy water and carbon. There was a small stove and a small bucket in each compartment of the examination room.Not leaving the examination room for three days, these are all Jiang Qingshi needs.

Jiang Qingshi had already passed the exam once, and with experience, he naturally took his time. Liu Chun was a little at a loss. Big brother Liu came with him, but big brother Liu had never taken the provincial exam, so he didn't know what to prepare for.Jiang Qingshi asked Zhang Mutou to help him prepare, eliminating many unnecessary things, and Liu Chuncai eased his nervousness. After all, Jiang Qingshi's calm and composed appearance is also contagious.

When Jiang Qingshi entered the examination room, Zhang Mutou greeted Big Brother Liu, went back to the inn by himself, packed up two clothes and moved them to a straw shed outside a restaurant outside the examination room. Now there are no vacant rooms in the restaurant. full of people.Those who couldn't live there didn't want to be too far away from the examination room, so they simply stationed outside the restaurant, and so did Zhang Mutou.

Even though the imperial examination system of the Dagan dynasty is much better than that of the previous dynasty, it is still maddening not to be able to get it for three consecutive days, especially if no one is given a Gong bucket. The taste is also... so some Those who are delicate and expensive or too weak will be carried out halfway and faint.

Even if you don’t faint and insist on finishing the answer, the candidates who come out will not be too energetic. If they can’t eat well and sleep well, they have to answer the questions with all their strength, which is enough for the candidates to come out and sleep for two days and two nights.Of course, the first thing to come out of a better body is of course to eat a good meal to satisfy the stomach that can only eat dry food or porridge.

Jiang Qingshi belongs to the last category. He felt starved to death as soon as he came out. In order to save convenience a few times in three days, he did not dare to drink more water or eat more dry food. He only ate one meal a day. Fortunately, he is indeed in good health, he came out very hungry and sleepy, and his physical condition was fine.But it's also unavoidable that the face is disheveled, the clothes are wrinkled, and the eye sockets are sunken.

Zhang Mutou's eyes are very sharp, he saw it as soon as he came out, and ran to his side in three steps at a time, holding a food box in his hand, which contained ready-made meals and a pot of tea, which was still hot. This piece of wood also took a lot of thought.

"Master, our carriage is over there, you wait here and have something to eat first." Zhang Mutou led him to a small noodle stall nearby, and he had already paid money to occupy a seat.Jiang Qingshi saw that all the pieces of wood had been prepared, so he naturally agreed to everything. He sat down on the seat, opened the food box, and ate quickly. He was really hungry.

Zhang Mutou's movements were very agile, and he drove the carriage smoothly and quickly among the bustling candidates.Jiang Qingshi ate too fast. After eating all the food, including a pot of tea, he realized that he was full. He stood up and wanted to digest, but he swept away the crying and laughing crowd, forget it, leave first, or he It's a bit eye-catching without sadness or joy.

Jiang Qingshi got into the carriage with his stomach on his back, lay down in the carriage, rubbed his stomach constantly, but fell asleep after a while, and didn't even know when he returned to the inn, Zhang Mumu carried him in.After this sleep, Jiang Qingshi slept for a day and a night.After waking up and stretching, I felt alive.

Jiang Qingshi originally planned to wait for the results to come out here, but he had nothing to do and was quite bored.After spending a whole day buying some gifts and special products for his family, Jiang Qingshi waited for Liu Chun to come, looked at Liu Chun with a happy face, and asked, sure enough, Liu Chun played well, and he should be on the list, but he didn't know if he could Can't move forward.

Because the grades hadn't come out yet, there weren't many gatherings organized by the students, but they were not too few. Jiang Qingshi saw that Liu Chun was young and didn't have many friends, so he simply took him to attend a few.One was organized by the eldest son of Zhang Datou, and the other was organized by a nephew of the mayor of Qin. Jiang Qingshi thought it was a bit interesting for these two groups. After all, people are divided into groups, and the two groups are completely different. of the place.The rest are either too high-spirited or sycophant or sycophant.

Jiang Qingshi doesn't like things that are too brain-intensive, and he has always been bad at playing tricks. After going there twice, he doesn't like to go. Fortunately, Liu Chun has also met a few people in the past few days. It doesn't matter if he doesn't follow him, so he simply Some of them put down their picks and didn't even wait for their grades. Anyway, the government servants will go to the house to notify them, and they will know after a few days.

Jiang Qingshi returned home very naked, Fu Yusheng was still there, and Du Wanshu was also very excited. When he saw him coming back, he forgot that he was outside, and threw himself on him directly, "Brother Qing! You're back!"

"Well, I'm back!"

These are very common words, but Jiang Qingshi feels very happy. His family has been waiting for him and worrying about him. His feeling cannot be described in words. It is a kind of belonging and stability from the inside out, especially his daughter-in-law. She threw herself into her arms in great surprise, and a sense of intimate happiness welled up spontaneously.

Jiang Qingshi told his family about the situation on the road and the exam, divided up the gifts he brought back, and chatted for a while. Jiang's father and Jiang's mother took everyone away with a wink, leaving room for the young couple. .

"Elegy, have you lost weight?" Jiang Qingshi put his arms around his daughter-in-law, feeling that the person in his arms has lost a lot.

Du Wanshu touched himself, then Jiang Qingshi, frowning, "Where did I lose weight? Obviously you lost weight." He poked Jiang Qingshi's arm dissatisfied.

This must be an illusion, Jiang Qingshi ate a lot of good food in the last four days in the county, and he had already made up for the little meat that fell.However, Jiang Qingshi didn't refute. He thinks you've lost weight right now, and he won't believe anything else. Just eat more in the next few days.

Jiang Qingshi touched the waist and arms of the book, and still felt that the book was thinner, and touched his stomach, but the stomach was still protruding, it seems that he also had an illusion.However, after groping around, both of them got angry, closed the door, and entered the space!

Ten days later, all the yamen servants came to Jiang's house with beating gongs and drums. Jiang Qingshi passed the exam, No. 9 in the township exam. This is a great joy for Jiang's family and Xinglong Village!When the yamen servants came, Jiang's father, who had always been calm and self-possessed, had a happy face and wrapped a big red envelope for the yamen servants, and the yamen servants even said countless good things.

"Brother Qing, you won! No.9!" Du Wanshu was so happy that he just wanted to jump up, and Jiang Qingshi also narrowed his eyes with a happy smile, "Yeah! You won! Hahaha!"

Everyone in the village also came to congratulate, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother greeted everyone happily.Before everyone was overjoyed, there was an exclamation, and Jiang Qingshi shouted anxiously: "Call the doctor quickly, the book has fainted!"

Now Jiang's mother can't care about the villagers anymore. The daughter-in-law should have a grandson in her belly, so don't worry about this fainting!Soon, Jiang Shu came, feeling his pulse, "Congratulations, Shitou, you are going to be a father again!"

Mother Jiang is really very happy now, double happiness! "Fifth Uncle, do I really have a daughter-in-law?"

Jiang Shu put away the medicine box, "Why did I lie to you?! It's been more than two months!"

"Okay! Okay! Fifth Uncle, thank you so much, I will thank you so much another day!" Mother Jiang hurried out without Jiang Shu's reaction after she finished speaking, and she could be heard shouting from afar: "Old man Hurry up, set off two more firecrackers! We have a grandson again! Xiao Shui, hurry up and prepare red eggs!..."

Jiang Qingshi laughed silly for a while, and hurried to the bedside of the book to accompany him, and kept stroking his belly. He still can't see anything, but there is already a little life in it, and An An will have a younger brother or younger sister. !

When Du Wanshu woke up, he saw Jiang Qingshi stroking his stomach with silly joy and moving, "Huh, Brother Qing?"

Jiang Qingshi hurriedly helped him up, and carefully placed a pillow on his lower back, "Hehe, pull the book, be careful, hehe."

While having fun, he poured warm water for Du Wanshu, but Du Wanshu couldn't figure it out, what's wrong?Happy like this? "Brother Qing, what's the big deal? It seems happier that you succeeded in this way than that you passed the exam!"

Jiang Qingshi sat next to him, gently stroking his stomach, "Of course I'm happy, we have another child!" Du Wanshu was also stunned, although he also had this guess, but he couldn't believe it was true, it's not easy for a man and wife It was true that she was pregnant, and he thought it was an illusion that he wanted a child, but he didn't expect it to be true!

Jiang Qingshi didn't notice that he was stunned for a moment, and he lost his eyes with a smile, "Thank you, Elegy, for conceiving children for me, we will give An'an more brothers and sisters, are you right?"

Du Wanshu thought, since he already has a second child, he should be able to have three or four, right?Nodding firmly, "I will, and I will take good care of the baby in my belly, don't worry."

Jiang Qingshi looked at him, his eyes watered softly, "Well, I will take good care of your sister-in-law too."

The two were immersed in the joy of being a father, and they stuck together and chatted a lot, when to buy ewes, when to make baby clothes, and so on.In the end, Jiang Qingshi was silent for a while, and said to Du Wanshu, "Du Wanshu, in this life, we want to go on happily and never leave anyone. We live in the same bed and die in the same hole, okay?"

Du Wanshu looked up at him, nodded heavily, "Well, let's go together!"

Ten months later, Du Wanshu successfully gave birth to a son, named Jiang Ziyan.Later, Du Wanrou married 15-year-old Liu Chun at the age of 16. Jiang Qingshi and Du Wanshu prepared a luxurious dowry, which fulfilled Du Wanshu's promise to Du Xiaomei.
