When others saw this, they followed suit. For a while, there was constant scramble under the tree, and the tree was full of "monkeys"!
Zhuzhu was held by Chen Ruiyang and stood in the teahouse opposite to watch the fun, giggling from time to time.
Chen Ruiyang also smiled, which was rare. He spoke softly to Zhuzhu and ate a few pine nut candies from time to time. His sneaky little look made people love him.
Mr. Wu was talking to the old man, and occasionally turned his head to see him, feeling emotional.
It seemed like the Tai family treated this young boy very well, because the child's wariness and trepidation when they first met him completely disappeared when the old man and his men arrived...
Soon, the gate of the examination hall was opened. An official came with a basin of paste and a broom, shouted at everyone to step back, and then raised his hand and smeared a large area on the wall.
After waiting for a while, an examiner came out and posted the red list personally.
Perhaps to make it easier for everyone to see, a total of fifty admitted names were written on ten large sheets of paper.
Tai Yongan's neck almost stretched into a giraffe's shape when he finally found his brother's name on the third picture and immediately cheered with joy.
"Yongning, Yongning! You're accepted, you're accepted!"
The servants of the Song, Qi and Teng families, as well as Manager Wu, also started shouting!
“I got it, I got it!”
"Master, you're accepted!"
"Woo woo, Master, Master has graduated from high school!"
In the teahouse, Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue were so eager to hang out of the window that they hurried inside when they heard their elder brother's good news.
Old Master Tai's face flushed with excitement, and his hands, which were holding his pipe, were shaking. "I won, I won, my Yongning won!"
Zhuzhu ran over, hugged her grandfather's thighs, and jumped and shouted, "My brother is the top scorer in the imperial examination. My brother is the best!"
Mr. Wu and the others were naturally happy, and they wanted to laugh even more when they heard the fat girl's childish talk. But when the time came, there was no one to correct the fat girl.
Tai Yongning reached out and hugged his sister, shaking her again and again!
"Zhuzhu, wait for your elder brother to test you for the top spot. But today, your elder brother is testing you for the position of Tongsheng!"
Zhuzhu gave her second brother a big kiss. She didn’t care what the test result was. As long as her grandfather and brother were happy, she would be happy.
Song Hui, Qi Ming and Teng Yu were also very happy. They tried hard to suppress their excitement and saluted the gentleman.
"Thank you for your teachings, sir. It is only because of your teachings that I have achieved my success today."
Tai Yongning also hurried to catch up, but Zhuzhu was held by her brother. Because her brother suddenly bent down and almost fell down, she hugged her brother's neck tightly, like a little fat ball clinging to a big tree.
Mr. Wu reached out and took the fat girl, then greeted his disciples, "You don't have to be like this, your family. You are where you are today because of your hard work and study. You should be grateful to yourselves."
Not to mention Tai Yongning and the other boys, even Old Man Tai was moved by these words.
As a husband, he does not flaunt his own efforts, but instead sees the hard work of his children. This is really rare.
"Mr. Wu, we have to have a drink today to celebrate the children's high school graduation and thank you for your guidance. I'll ask Jiye to buy some wine and meat in a while, so you can't refuse!"
"Haha, of course I can't refuse. This is my disciples' wedding wine! In the future, they will go further and further, and continue to take the exams for scholars, juren, and even the top scorer! Every time, I will drink at the wedding wine!" Mr. Wu responded happily, feeling happy and proud for his disciples from the bottom of his heart.
At this moment, Steward Wu suddenly knocked on the door and came in, reporting, "Master, Mr. Peng is in the next box. I'd like you to come over and sit down. We have something important to discuss."
"Oh?" Mr. Wu was a little surprised, and said to everyone, "Please sit down first. I'll be right back."
After saying that, he went out.
But this time he didn't come back for half an hour. Zhuzhu was naughty and couldn't sit still, so she insisted on going downstairs to play.
Old Master Tai said to Manager Wu, "Why don't I take the children for a walk and do some shopping first, and then we can gather in the courtyard in the evening."
Manager Wu quickly agreed, and the boys followed the old man and left.
Now that we were in high school, our trip to the capital city had come to a perfect end. Everyone was enjoying a rare opportunity to relax, yet eager to return home. So, under the guise of buying food and wine, they were actually bringing gifts for their families.
Soon, the large team was divided into several small teams.
Song Hui and Tai Yongning were together, Qi Ming and Teng Yu were together, Tai Jiye brought Tai Yonglu and Tai Yongyue, and the old man brought Yongan, Ruiyang and Zhuzhu, and they each took action.
Of course, the old man was cautious. He separated He Shan and others, and assigned one person to each team to accompany them.
After living together for a few days, Song Hui and others also knew the identities of He Shan and his brothers, and even envied the Tai family for having such guards.
At this moment, the old man sent He Shan and others to their side, so they were naturally more grateful and at ease.
So, I bought fabrics at the cloth shop, gold and silver at the jewelry store, small items on the street, and gift boxes at the pastry shop...
When everyone returned to the courtyard, most of them had bags in their hands, but empty pockets.
Tai Jiye gave the wine and meat to the cook, and the cook also used her best skills to prepare the banquet.
But after waiting for a long time, the sun was setting, Zhuzhu had eaten more than ten pieces of snacks, but Mr. Wu still didn't come back.
Everyone was a little worried. Just as Mr. Tai was about to ask Tai Jiye to take people to welcome him, Mr. Wu finally came back.
Mr. Wu's face was a little red, and he was obviously half drunk.
Tai Yongning and others helped to fetch water and helped the gentleman wash and change into clean clothes.
Mr. Wu drank some strong tea before he recovered a little and apologized to everyone with a wry smile.
"I'm sorry, old man, I'm late. I hope I didn't miss the wedding banquet!"
