"Congratulations."
"Same congratulations."
Although Ji Shaohuai did not understand Wang Sheng, he still sent his blessings.
Wang Sheng looked at Wang Yan's slightly surprised look and explained: "The shopkeeper means well, maybe this inn has this custom. If I don't have money, that's it. I can only be shameless and tough. Take advantage of this. If I have money, I still hope that the money and goods will be cleared."
"In this way, if the inn misbehaves and takes the opportunity to increase prices, I can also destroy the ink marks left behind. No outsider can stop it, just because this is a gift, not a transaction."
Wang Sheng looked at the crowd outside the inn. There were weather-beaten old people and young people with no clothes on. They gathered here. It's just for the free cold water provided by the inn in hot weather.
There was a faint smile between his brows, a corner of his mouth, and he said calmly: "You don't have much money, I can afford it."
The unfinished business Wang Sheng will not go into details.
Before leaving, Ji Shaohuai reminded here: "Although this dynasty does not allow banquets to entertain examiners, there are not many regulations regarding banquets for Mr. Confucius. Brother Sheng will stay in Changle for a while. I will tell you later when my classmates from the Fu School discuss the date of the banquet."
"Thank you, Brother Ji."
Ji Shaohuai waved his hand and asked, "Brother Sheng won the exam this time. , can you decide where to study?"
"I have never thought about it, how can I decide to go there?"
Wang Sheng smiled bitterly, thought for a long time, extracted a place name from his memory, and responded. : "Perhaps you will go to Yongzhou?"
"Yongzhou has outstanding people and is an excellent place to study."
Ji Shaohuai fanned a few times, paused for a long time, and then said: " Three years have passed by like a blur. I hope you and I can still be classmates."
"Thank you for your kind words, Brother Ji."
Wang Sheng and Wang Yan said goodbye to Ji Shaohuai. So he found another place to eat during the day.
The weather is hot, and most people go to places where they can escape the heat to eat, and Wang Sheng is no exception. He specially chose a restaurant, which is owned by a couple. They usually cook home-cooked dishes at reasonable prices. It’s also relatively affordable.
After eating, Wang Sheng took the lead and settled the bill before Wang Yan came back to his senses.
After finishing the meal, Wang Yan suddenly asked on the way: "Brother Sheng, do you still have any money?"
Wang Sheng nodded and looked ahead with a slight smile. Yi responded: "Of course I still have some money. I came to Changle Mansion to pick up some guys, and I still have some in my hand."
His work of copying books and writing storybooks has not fallen behind, and he also teaches Xia Ziheng part-time , In addition, I also received awards in every quarterly and annual examination of the government school.
Although Wang Sheng is not from a wealthy family who can spend money to have fun, at least he has escaped from the age when he could not afford food and clothing due to poverty, and he does not need support from his family.
However, Wang Yan didn't understand Wang Sheng's specific situation, so he only thought that Wang Sheng was trying to be brave.
Wang Yan could have gone back with his classmates from the county school, but he specially extended the lease for a few days, prepared the carriage in advance, and paid the money.
Wang Sheng just noticed Wang Yan’s worry.
He informed Wang Yan about his teaching and awards, and made it clear that there is really no shortage now.
Wang Yan patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder with his big hand, "If my grandfather were here, he would also pay for Brother Sheng and take good care of him."
"Our Wang family Village, no, what should be said is that since the Wang family moved to Wangjia Village, for dozens of generations, it has never been successful. It is our family's luck."
Wang Sheng was stunned, he had never heard of this.
It should be said that I only knew about the ancestral hall in the past, but I had never set foot in it, and I did not understand the historical heritage of my family.
Of course, it is common to hold regular banquets every year and not to open an ancestral hall. You can’t understand it even if you want to understand it.
Ask Wang Wenqiu and he doesn’t know, let alone others.

Wang Yan did not continue, but talked about one thing.
"If it weren't for Brother Sheng, maybe I would still have to continue the scientific examination, but for me, this is not my strength, nor is it my interest."
Wang Yan retracted Hands, continue to help Wang Sheng move things.
"If you go back, your grandfather will definitely open an ancestral hall and inform your ancestors about this."
As expected, as Wang Yan expected, the good news official stepped into Wangjia Village At this boundary, some people ran non-stop to the clan leader for ventilation.
"Chief Royal! Chief Royal!"
Wang Yangkai walked out of the house on crutches, looked at the out-of-breath child, and whispered: "Speak slowly, speak slowly, don't be in a hurry, you can't be in a hurry."
"Clan leader! Brother Sheng!"
Wang Yangkai is leaning on a cane with his right hand and swinging his left hand slowly. , "Speak slowly, speak slowly, there is no rush, there is no rush..."
The man finally caught his breath and shouted loudly: "Brother Sheng has been successful!"
At this moment, not only did Wang Yangkai stop swinging his left hand, but everyone who heard this hurriedly ran out and asked: "Who? Who has won the exam?"
"Wang Sheng, Sheng Brother! I won the exam!"
The man said loudly: "Mr. Annunciation is here! I saw him just now at the entrance of the village!"
The child's great-grandfather happened to be in Wang Yang. When he opened the house, he immediately called out: "You saw it, why don't you hurry up and lead the way to Mr. Annunciation!"
The child replied: "There are so many people around there, and some of them are leading the way."
Wang Yangkai reacted immediately and took advantage of the opportunity to go back to the house on crutches and change into some decent clothes..
The child's great-grandfather also saw Wang Yangkai's movements and asked in surprise: "Yangkai, why are you wearing this?"
"Wang Ju's family sent a person in charge. , before he left, he asked me to help take care of it."
Although Wang Yangkai said this, the joy on his face was true.
Upon hearing this, the man also followed behind Wang Yangkai.
When he came quickly with a cane, Mr. Announcer had already entered Wang Wenqiu's home with the good news.
When Wang Yang arrived, he was already surrounded by people on three levels inside and three levels outside.
However, when everyone saw the clan leader, they immediately gave way and allowed Wang Yang to drive in.
Wang Wenqiu was still working in the fields and rushed back immediately after receiving the news. Now he was sweating profusely and his clothes were disheveled.
Wang Yangkai coughed immediately and reminded Wang Wenqiu to go back to the house to change clothes and tidy up before coming out.
He stepped forward, handed over his hands, and talked with Mr. Annunciation.
"I am the village chief here, and also the head of the Wang family. It is the busy farming season now, and farm boys must go to the fields to farm. Please wait a moment, sir, so as not to taint the good news."
Wang Yangkai stretched out his hand, took out the money from his arms and put it into the hand of Mr. Annunciation.
Mr. Annunciation refused to accept it and directly sent the money back to Wang Yangkai.
"The village chief's words are serious. He is acting under orders. This really offends me. Wangjia Village is the only one of the nearby villages to be happy today. It doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."
Mr. Annunciation waved his hand, and Wang Yangkai leaned on crutches and invited him to sit down and drink some tea.
He did not refuse this, and drank several drinks as soon as he sat down. It was obvious that the weather was really hot and his mouth was dry.
