Chapter 208 The Man is Drunk
Liu Ji also wanted to take it, so the two families, who had originally wanted to separate, entered the county government office one after the other.
Qin Yao and Liu Gong looked at each other, feeling really awkward.
After receiving the written certification of being a student and the qualification certificate for taking the formal imperial examination from the county government, the two families were finally separated.
Liu Ji asked the dean of the academy for three days' leave, knowing that he wanted to go back and report the good news, the dean readily let him go.
He even congratulated Liu Ji in particular, stroked his beard and walked him out of the academy gate with an admiring look on his face.
After all, he never had any hope for this kid Liu Ji. He didn't expect that he would pass the preliminary examination less than a year after entering the school. This really surprised the dean.
Looking at Liu Ji's handsome appearance again, he secretly thought that maybe he was a genius who would achieve success late in life.
The headmaster's eager eyes made Liu Ji feel guilty.
Fortunately, only he and Qin Yao knew how he passed the initial test. He could still pretend in front of the people in Liujia Village who didn't understand these twists and turns.
After taking the leave, Qin Yao bought some fresh pork and planned to go back home to celebrate with everyone in the old house. The couple then left the city and returned to the village a little later than the Liu Li brothers.
After being away from home for four days, when I came back, my identity was very different.
Fearing that Liu Ji would become too proud of himself, Qin Yao kept reminding him along the way to keep a low profile and say as little as possible to avoid letting anything slip.
Liu Ji agreed, but still couldn't help looking forward to the funny looks of the people in Liujia Village dropping their jaws.
Who would have thought that the so-called scoundrel in their mouths could pass the preliminary examination and obtain the qualification to participate in the imperial examination?
Thinking of that scene, Liu Ji couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth wildly.
Qin Yao was also happy in her heart. She was one step closer to her next small goal. After traveling through time and a half, today, she finally saw hope for progress.
"Liu Ji, our family's life will get better and better in the future." Qin Yao said confidently.
"We?" Liu Ji was flattered. He was actually considered a member of this family?
If you want the horse to keep running forward, you must give it some sweet treats.
Qin Yao patted his shoulder seriously and reiterated, "Yes, we."
"Come on, there is another test waiting for us."
Liu Ji nodded heavily, "Yeah!"
He is full of energy now. If he didn't know his own level, he would want to finish all the books right now and pass the exam to become a scholar in front of her in May!
Qin Yao smiled with satisfaction, "But don't put too much pressure on yourself. You are lucky to pass the preliminary exam this time. Just treat the next one as an experience to feel the atmosphere of the formal imperial examination in advance. When you come back, you can find the right medicine and focus on studying."
Liu Ji had already tasted the sweetness of Qin Yao's study schedule, so he quickly agreed and said with emotion: "My wife, whatever you say is what I will listen to you."
He is the kind of person who will be exposed once he says something against his will. Qin Yao couldn't bear to watch it, but still forced a smile. After all, we have to encourage him and not discourage his enthusiasm.
In the evening, the carriage drove into Liujia Village in a low-key manner.
But what the couple didn't expect was that as soon as they passed the village well, loud firecrackers exploded.
Old Huang was so frightened that he jumped three feet high and almost threw Qin Yao and Liu Ji out of the carriage.
Qin Yao managed to steady the carriage with great difficulty, and the villagers of Liujia Village surrounded her.
Old man Liu took the lead with tears in his eyes. When he saw Liu Ji, he pulled him out of the carriage, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted his ancestors, asking them to bless their Liu family to have a student.
The village chief and clan leaders also came forward to congratulate him. Villagers sent vegetables and eggs, and some sent rice and oil. They congratulated Liu Ji on passing the preliminary examination and asked him for more help in the future.
Judging from the situation, people who didn't know would have thought that Liu Ji had already become the top scholar.
Liu Dafu also brought gifts to congratulate. He walked up to Qin Yao and vaguely mentioned that he wanted Liu Li and Liu Ji to go to the provincial capital together, and asked Qin Yao to help take care of them.
The scene was too chaotic, and Qin Yao didn't have the chance to answer him before she was dragged to the middle by the women of the He and Qiu families to receive congratulations.
Qin Yao took the time to raise her head and look around. The four children in the family were pitifully pushed to the edge by the villagers. They wanted to get closer, but were pushed away by the uncles and aunts.
Dalang smiled bitterly and had to hug his younger brother and sister and stay away.
Qin Yao deeply felt the enthusiasm of the villagers today.
Liu Dafu took the lead and invited everyone to his house for dinner, which was a good opportunity for the two future scholars to get close to each other.
This was similar to the scene Liu Ji had imagined before, but also a little different. He just wanted the villagers to respect him, but he didn't want them to treat him like a monkey.
Before he could even shout for help, he was dragged to Liu Dafu's house by the villagers, staring at Liu Li, who had already been "tortured".
When Qin Yao saw that the main firepower had been attracted by Liu Ji, he drove the carriage, picked up the four poor little guys on the edge, flicked the whip, and fled home.
But unable to resist everyone's enthusiasm, He and others actually chased her home, helped her to set up the carriage, locked the door for her, and brought Qin Yao and the four children to Liu Dafu's house.
It has been a long time since such a joyful thing happened in the village. The smiles on everyone's faces were sincere, and their eyes were bright, just staring at you. How could Qin Yao refuse?
Liu Dafu opened a jar of good wine. After two glasses of wine, Liu Ji became excited. His social gangster nature was aroused and he hugged every old man in the village.
Liu Li was scared and kept away from him. But his father Liu Dafu just wanted to push him closer to Liu Ji, so that they could communicate more and support each other in the future.
Qin Yao was afraid that Liu Ji would drink too much and let the cat out of the bag, so she helped him drink the rest of the wine. He drank one cup after another without his face getting red at all.
Even if the whole village joined forces to fight her, they still couldn't defeat her. They had to admit defeat.
When the noise died down, the family of six returned home and looked at each other's faces which had been painted red by the villagers, and they couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After laughing enough, Qin Yao kicked Liu Ji on the butt, "Get up and boil some water!"
Liu Ji turned over on the ground, muttered something, and lay motionless.
Qin Yao frowned, "Don't force me to wake you up by slapping you."
You want to open a dyeing factory after just giving me three points of color? !
Liu Ji felt the biting chill and immediately opened his eyes. He got up and rushed into the kitchen. He quickly lit a fire and boiled water. How could he still be drunk at all?
Sanlang and Si Niang blinked and were stunned. "So Daddy wasn't drunk?"
Qin Yao pinched their chubby faces and said, "You are still too young."
The man is one-third drunk and will act until you cry.
"Okay, wash your face and change your clothes, and then report to me about your studies in the past few days."
This sentence was said to the four brothers and sisters.
However, the four brothers and sisters were not panicked. They all listened to the teacher's lectures carefully.
During these four days when the adults are not at home, they will supervise each other to prepare their homework in the evening.
Qin Yao looked at the calm expressions of the four brothers and sisters, and then looked at someone busy in the kitchen, and felt very comforted.
