In the blink of an eye, it is a new year again.
February of this year.
Cai Chenyang took the first exam in his life.
——County examination.
Seven years have passed since I started school at the age of five.
During these seven years, he has been studying diligently, from enlightenment to deeper learning, day after day, year after year, with perseverance, his knowledge has grown like a snowball.
Seven years later, Master Geng told him that he could take part in the county examination.
He prepared well and successfully registered.
Upon hearing that his son was going to take the county exam, Cai Junze quickly put down his work and returned from outside. His eyes were full of anticipation, and he gave him all kinds of instructions, asking him to do well in the exam.
Cai Chenyang nodded and said that he would do his best.
Also, try to pass it in one go.
After so many years, this is the first time that someone from Changhe Village has taken the county exam, which has attracted people's attention and discussion.
"Yang'er is only twelve years old this year, and he's already taking the county exam."
"In our village, how many years has it been since anyone took such an exam?"
"It's been ages, hasn't it? Anyway, the last time someone took the county exam, I wasn't even born yet!"
The person who said the baby was not born was an old man in his fifties.
From this we can see that those who are alive now have basically never seen anyone from the village take the county exam.
Yang'er is the first one.
Therefore, such a thing is very fresh in people's eyes.
"Do you think Yang'er can pass?"
"Should be able to? Although he is young, he has been studying for many years. When he was five or six years old, he was sent to study with a teacher. He should have learned a lot."
"By the way, wasn't the last scholar in our village Yang'er's father, Cai Junze? Compared to his father, I wonder how talented he is in studying."
"He's definitely better than his father. Cai Junze didn't study hard before, otherwise, he could have taken the county exam. What a pity."
"However, there's a big difference between the Cai Junze of those days and the Cai Junze of today. He used to be very naughty, never studying hard and always getting into trouble. He eventually stopped going to school. I heard he was kicked out of school. Later, for some reason, he slowly changed. Now, Cai Liu has handed over almost all of the family business to him, and I heard he's doing quite well."
"I hope Yang'er doesn't learn from his father in this regard."
"I don't think so. From my observation of Yang'er, I've found that he is quite different from his father. He won't follow in Cai Junze's footsteps."
"I think so."
…
In a blink of an eye, Cai Chenyang's county exam was over.
The results came out very quickly.
He passed the county examination easily.
And won first place in the county!
Seeing the final results, Liu Shulin and Cai Junze couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, there is an indescribable excitement and pride!
What followed was the provincial examination.
There were two months between the two exams.
The provincial examination is held in April and is also held in the county town.
In a blink of an eye, it was time for the exam. Cai Chenyang remained calm and went to take the exam.
Then, I passed the customs smoothly again!
And, just like in the county exam, he also won first place!
From then on, he became a student with two "first place" titles on his head!
He is still a twelve-year-old boy!
Of course, twelve-year-old students do exist, but they are quite rare. Perhaps only one or two appear in many, many years.
After the provincial examination, there is the academy examination.
However, the college entrance examination is held every two years, and there is no such examination this year.
Therefore, if Cai Chenyang wants to participate, he can only wait until next year.
This is also good for him.
He still has a year to prepare properly.
Liu Shulin was very excited that there was a boy student in the family!
After everything was over, she prepared a table full of delicious food and the whole family celebrated together.
Seeing that their family has a boy named Tongsheng, and he is only twelve years old, the people in the village are very envious!
A twelve-year-old boy is very impressive.
After all, it is not easy to pass the examination to become a Tongsheng.
What’s more, he is the number one student!
Some people may never pass the examination to become a Tongsheng even if they take exams for their entire lives!
In this era, a true scholar is someone who has passed the examination for becoming a Tongsheng.
Those who failed to pass the examination to become a tongsheng can only be considered as half-baked scholars.
However, this kind of half-baked people are the most numerous.
Lu Qingyan comes back to visit Yang'er once every few months.
She came back to visit Yang'er in May, and was very excited when she heard that Yang'er had passed the examination for the title of Tongsheng!
"Yang'er, have you taken the Tongsheng exam?"
"Oh my! That's great!"
"You're worthy of being my son!"
"You really inherited my intelligence!"
She hugged her son tightly, she was so happy!
Cai Junze on the side: "..."
What does it mean to inherit her intelligence?
It makes him, the father, look like a fool.
However, Cai Junze also admitted in his heart that Lu Qingyan was indeed smart. At least, compared with those people with similar backgrounds, he had never seen anyone as smart as her.
Feeling Cai Junze's gaze on her, Lu Qingyan knew what he was thinking. She couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Cai Junze, don't be unconvinced. Judging from how you studied back then, you should know your intelligence better than I do. Yang'er is so smart now. He easily passed the examination and took first place. He must have inherited my talent! It's a good thing he inherited it from me, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have followed in your footsteps."
