Chapter 908: Nine Hundred and Eighteen Children
The annual children's examination is held on February 16 in the spring, and is held in the Gongyuan of Lingxian County. "Words * love * first * send [our website dashubao, if you think this site is good, please remember to recommend it to your friends]
At this time of year, Mr. Jiang Ling will give a few questions to the students of the private school in advance to find out the bottom in advance. In order to know in their hearts, it is also the basis for parents of schoolchildren to let their children go to take the children's examination.
At the end of the first month of this year, Mr. Jiang Ling made a list of promising children. There is Jiang Cheng's name on it.
At first, Jiang Ling once said that Jiang Cheng had the hope of being admitted to Tongsheng two years later, but he didn't want to, but after only a few months, he changed his original mind and encouraged Jiang Cheng to try it when the time came.
As for the entanglement, there is a pocket money of one hundred wen per month that Jiang Cheng has accumulated, a total of four hundred wen, and Jiang Ling took out an extra one or two pieces of silver from his bundle and handed it to Jiang Cheng.
"You're welcome, just take it and use it for the time being. If you apologize, just think that your husband lent it to you. ”
Jiang Ling said everything about this, and Jiang Cheng could only accept it for the time being.
"Mr. Great Grace, Jiang Cheng remembers it in his heart."
Unlike other exams, which are accompanied by family members, Jiang Cheng is also comfortable alone.
Tong Shengtry is just an article, a quatrain, for Jiang Cheng, who once won the civil and military champion Cong Ye, it is not a problem at all. It's just that I didn't dare to stand out too much, so I grasped the size and hurriedly finished writing and handing in the paper.
When the list was released the next day, Jiang Cheng's name was firmly hanging in the middle of the stream, and after reading it, he returned to Xiangyang Town alone without surprise or worry.
Jiang Cheng, who walked back and forth on foot, had just spent seven days. By the time he returned to Xiangyang Town, the people in the town had already known the result.
This time, there were a total of eleven schoolchildren in Xiangyang Town, and only five of them were able to pass the examination. Although Jiang Cheng is the youngest among them, he is the one with the highest ranking. For a while, the name of the little scholar Jiang Cheng spread in Xiangyang Town.
The happiest person is Mr. Jiang Ling, not only he thinks he knows talents, but even the people in the town privately praise Mr.
In addition to being happy, Mr. Jiang Ling even held a celebration banquet for Jiang Cheng alone, and the participants were all respected old men in the town. In the meantime, Jiang Ling intentionally or unintentionally hinted that if nothing else, Jiang Cheng would definitely be able to pass the Xiucai exam two years later.
Finally, perhaps a hint, Jiang Ling said:
"Township chiefs, I am a shallow learner, and I am old, you should start looking for a replacement."
Who could not understand the meaning of Jiang Ling's words
For a while, everyone knew that if Xiao Jiang Cheng could be admitted to Xiucai in two years, Mr. Jiang Ling, a private school, would retire.
"Sister, didn't you often say that you wanted to marry Mr. Teacher when you were a child?"
When Sui Shiyong was in a good mood, he always took the words that hung on Sui Xiaowan's lips when he was a child. After hearing everyone's private discussion this time, I can't help but bring up the old words.
"A few days ago, Mr. said that Jiang Cheng is very likely to be admitted to Xiucai in two years, and Mr. Jiang Cheng will replace him at that time. In this way, my sister's wish may really come true. ”
"Go, my brother is talking nonsense, I won't play with you anymore."
Although Sui Xiaowan said so, since she met Jiang Cheng, she has never forgotten it, especially the sense of familiarity and intimacy from the depths of her heart, which makes her often yearn to see Jiang Cheng again.
It's just that I'm a girl, so it's hard to show it. Even she often secretly blamed Jiang Cheng: Why don't you come three or five years earlier, can't we also study together
"I'm warning you, sister. I dare to guarantee that there are no few people in the town who have daughters in the town, and there are not a few people who are beating Jiang Cheng's attention, so ah, you have to sue the second uncle and aunt to start early. ”
Listening to Sui Shiyong's more and more outrageous it became, Sui Xiaowan had no choice but to turn around and walk away.
However, I am not without worries, but how to remind my parents
Sui Shiyong's guess was not bad, after Jiang Cheng was born as a middle school, some people did think about it. And not just one, but three. These three families are all families in the town who only have daughters and no sons, considering that Jiang Cheng is an orphan without a father or mother, so they have the heart to let Jiang Cheng get involved.
So, they asked someone to come to the door to find Mr. Jiang Ling and express their meaning. However, Jiang Ling did not disclose the matter to Jiang Cheng, but took the initiative to block Jiang Cheng back.
The reason is also very simple: the child is still young, and it is not good to talk about marriage for the time being, so as not to be distracted, affect his studies, and delay his future.
There is no need for Sui Xiaowan to worry at all, whether it is Sui Gongchang and his wife, or Sui Chengbi, they have already taken action. It's just that the Sui family did it relatively hidden, and it didn't let outsiders see it for a while.
For Jiang Cheng, who has often been helped by Sui Shiyong since he was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, he knows it. Secretly, I also admire the Sui family's actions. In this way, it not only avoided being talked about by outsiders, but also avoided the embarrassment of Jiang Cheng's future in the future.
In private, Sui Xiaowan's mother did not forget to say to her daughter in a half-joking tone:
"What does Wan'er think of Brother Jiang Cheng?"
"Mother, Brother Jiang Cheng is very good."
Sui Xiaowan was originally a smart girl, but she didn't understand what her mother meant, so she replied casually.
"Then if Wan'er is married to Jiang Cheng, is my daughter willing?"
"Mother, I'm only a few years old,"
Sui Xiaowan lowered her slightly flushed cheeks, looked at her toes, and said softly:
"Isn't it all the parents' decision about the affairs of a girl's family?"
The look of the youngest daughter's family made her mother beautiful. Although after Sui Xiaowan, two sons and a daughter were born one after another, but in the minds of Sui Gongchang and his wife, it was the eldest daughter Sui Xiaowan who was the most heartwarming and painful.
"Haha, my daughter has grown up and already knows how to be shy."
"Mother"
Sui Xiaowan still lowered her head, but her feet stomped on the ground again and again, and she quickly turned around and ran away.
Since then, Jiang Cheng has had more and more opportunities to be invited to his home by Sui Shiyong. Jiang Cheng did not refuse to come, as long as he did not delay his service to Mr. Jiang Ling, almost every call.
Now that he has come to the Sui family again, it is no longer as usual to just treat him as a child, but he can compete with Sui Shiyong's father and uncle, and he can sit down to drink tea and talk.
Moreover, almost every time, Jiang Cheng will be left to eat. As a result, Sui Xiaowan also had more opportunities to contact Jiang Cheng.
Although the two rarely spoke, there was still an exchange between the eyebrows.
"Why does my sister always stare at Jiang Cheng secretly?"
"How can there be?"
"Ha, not only did I see it, but my other siblings saw it too. The mother and second aunt also saw it. ”
"Brother is talking nonsense, ignoring you."
