Chapter 385 The Farmer's Widowed Mother Who Was Hurt by the Reborn Girl 22
"Brother, we are a family and we should keep our distance. Come in quickly."
"Third brother, quickly make a bowl of sugar water for your uncle."
Don't think that this honest brother speaks so easily, but he knows the warmth he feels. It's not easy for every family.
Every family watches the egg-laying chickens as if they were their own eyes.
"No, sister, I'm not thirsty, tell the third brother to stop working."
That candy is a precious thing, how could Wen Xu really let his sister spend money on it? It has to be saved for his nephew to nourish his body. It would be a waste to give it to a country boy like him.
"Brother, it's okay. Your sister is better off now. Just drink."
"Your eldest nephew is there, don't worry about him."
This silly guy, his thoughts are written all over his face, Wen Nuan can tell at a glance.
Wen Xu rubbed his rough palms, looking uneasy, but finally took a few sips carefully and put down the tea bowl with a pain in his heart.
After seeing this, Wen Nuan could only force the eldest brother to stay and have a sumptuous meal. Only after he was completely convinced that his sister's family was indeed getting better did she go home with peace of mind.
Before leaving, Wen Nuan forced her to eat a few pheasants and rabbits, under the pretext of giving her nephew some nourishment.
It is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide timely assistance. This brother is not bad.
After seeing everyone off, Wen Nuan also got ready, and the focus was on the exam basket.
Fortunately, this season is not too cold. The exam will last for three days, so she has to think about it carefully.
Eight Treasure Porridge, compressed biscuits, um, I've arranged it, but I don't know if I can bring the small stove. Otherwise, I can also bring instant noodles, at least I can have something hot to eat.
After thinking about it, Wen Nuan decided to give up, in case it caused unnecessary trouble.
To be honest, she was not very familiar with the imperial examination.
I can only let his eldest son suffer.
However, we must bring the spiritual spring water that is essential for traveling, otherwise if the boss’s body can’t take it, we can’t let anything bad happen.
I heard that there is a very strict inspection before entering. Well, it’s okay. The spiritual spring water is just a bowl of boiled water.
It was the first time for Wen Nuan to be the mother of a student taking an imperial examination, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.
She felt that no matter how prepared she was, it would not be enough and she was afraid that her child would suffer.
Inevitably, the figure deep in the warm memory emerged again. Back then...
That idiot was only wearing thin clothes and carrying a basket of books on his back... Thinking about it now, he really suffered a lot.
It was only because she had just begun to develop spiritual awareness at that time, and was ignorant and only cared about having money, and did not think too much about it.
Alas, time also dictates fate.
After everything was ready, the family set out for the county town one day in advance and stayed in an inn.
As for food, Wen Nuan spent some money to rent a small kitchen from the inn.
At this critical moment, Wen Nuan is worried about letting the eldest brother eat food from outside, just in case.
There are always black-hearted people in this year.
With the company of his family and his mother's loving meals, the eldest son came in with a look of high spirits.
For three consecutive days, not to mention the boss on the scene, even Wen Nuan and her son didn't get enough rest.
There's nothing I can do but worry.
During this period, many people who were also accompanying their children to take the exam would go outside to take a look every day. Oh, that look was even more amazing.
Every day there are candidates who have fainted being carried out, it's really scary.
Is this a written test or a martial arts exam? How could it make people perform so poorly?
Oh~ No wonder scholars are called weak scholars.
Seeing all these things in front of her, Wen Nuan couldn't help but feel scared.
A mother worries about her children even when they are far away. In Wen Nuan's heart, she has long treated these children as her own.
Although the eldest brother has a good physical condition due to years of hard work and has the spiritual spring water at his disposal, how can he really not worry at all?
For this reason, Wen Nuan is always paying attention to the situation on the field.
Seeing the boss huddled in that small examination room at night... I felt so heartbroken.
Three days flew by.
Only when she saw with her own eyes that her eldest brother had passed the exam safely did Wen Nuan feel completely relieved.
Well, he does look a bit thinner.
"Hurry, mom has warmed up some ginseng chicken soup for you, drink some to moisten your throat."
Wen Nuan specially rented a horse carriage this time. As soon as her son entered the carriage, Wen Nuan hurriedly took out the small earthenware jar that she had prepared long ago.
She was used to it and couldn't help but blurt it out, but it startled her three sons beside her.
Ginseng chicken soup? Also soothes your throat?
They've been drinking a lot of chicken soup lately, but this throat-nourishing soup is...
Mom, have you forgotten that our family is just a farming family?
Well~whatever mother says is what it is. They brothers have to work hard to make their mother's words come true.
One day, they will let their mother drink ginseng soup to moisten the mulberry trees and use bird's nest to rinse her mouth...
……
The mother and her children rested in the inn for a day and then returned to the village.
Wow, this time the village was in a big commotion, a bunch of people gathered around.
They were all talking at once, and every sentence was about asking how her eldest son did in the exam.
What can I say about this? It’s not okay to be too high-profile, nor is it okay to be too modest. Everything will depend on the results.
This had been anticipated, and Wen Nuan had warned the eldest brother in advance to smile a little when meeting people. Smiling is the right thing to do, and if he really can't get over it, just say "it's okay".
In short, no matter what the villagers say, the mother and her children continue to act the same as usual.
While the eldest brother continued to review his lessons, he followed his two younger brothers to go to the fields.
This move was quite remarkable. In the eyes of some villagers, it meant that the eldest son did not do well in the exam, so he accepted his fate and came back to farm.
Warmth... There is something I don’t know whether I should say it or not.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day for the announcement of the results.
On this day, Wen Nuan and her son seemed calm, but in fact, they were all very scared.
It's one thing to have confidence in the boss, but after all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
After a quick breakfast, Wen Nuan planned to take her sons to the county town.
Anyway, the list is posted there and you can't escape it, so why squeeze in with the crowd?
Just as the family was leaving the house... the sound of horse hooves could be heard...
"Good news! Good news!"
The tall and handsome official came into view, and Wen Nuan was instantly refreshed. It was stable!
The noise startled the clan leader and his uncles, not to mention all the villagers in the village, who all ran over to watch the fun.
Zhoujia Village has been rooted here for hundreds of years, but there has never been any "good news" coming.
This... The elderly clan leader's hands were shaking with excitement. He asked the younger generations of the clan to support him and came here tremblingly on crutches.
For a while, Wen Nuan's yard was surrounded by people in three layers.
The official who brought the good news dismounted immediately upon seeing the real owner.
"Zhou Fu from Zhoujia Village..."
“…The first case!”
After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent.
The villagers were confused. What does "case first" mean? Does it mean that they passed the exam?
Completely different from them are Wen Nuan and her son. Needless to say, Wen Nuan is great, she only knows her eldest son well.
The two younger brothers were so excited that their cheeks flushed. The two brothers who had entered the academy were no longer illiterate, so how could they not know the value of the first place in the case.
"The first in the case! My brother is the first in the case!"
"First place, my brother got first place!"
In an instant, the crowd went wild. If the first place winner didn't understand, how could the first place winner not understand?
Oh my god, the eldest son of the Qingshan family has really made great progress. He got the first place in the exam!
