Chapter 155: Huh? Shouldn't it be Tang Dazhi or Tang Dayuan?
Uncle Li Zheng walked to the door and muttered, "Aren't you setting up the scene a little too early? I haven't even got the list down yet..."
Tang Xianming said, "Not too early, not too early. I went to Zhishu Academy to inquire. The two spots are for our two grandsons. Master Man also said that if there are two spots, they will most likely be Tang Dazhi and Tang Dayuan. I plan to hold a three-day banquet. My two eldest grandsons have brought honor to the village. How can I not hold a banquet for two more days to celebrate such a great honor?"
Uncle Li Zheng thought about it and agreed.
Even the Master guessed that it was Tang Dazhi and Tang Dayuan, so it's almost certain.
After all, the village school is taught by Master Man, and he should have some ideas about his students.
"Okay, we can't be too extravagant. The banquet can be held for one day. We can have a big one after the two children pass the examination and become students," Uncle Li Zheng corrected.
Tang Xianming nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Just then, Sanbao and his sister squeezed to the door.
Tang Xianming saw the two of them, and his tone was extremely arrogant, and he almost wanted to spit on them.
Little Yuanbao covered his mouth with his little hands, "It stinks."
Sanbao quickly said, "I'll block the stench for you."
The villagers nearby couldn't help but laugh.
This pair of little brother and sister work together so well.
Little Yuanbao cried, "Third brother, is it amazing to be able to attend Zhishu School? Brother Tiangou is also a student at Zhishu School, and I don't think he has any special abilities."
Sanbao said, "They are powerful, but they are not supernatural. They are just showing off."
The two siblings just talked to each other in a low voice, and no one else could hear them in the bustling crowd.
"Spread the wedding candy! Grab the wedding candy!"
Someone from Tang Xianming's house came out to distribute wedding candy.
In the countryside, when there is a happy event at home, people will scatter wedding candies.
How much to spread depends on your family's financial situation.
Those from wealthy families will spend more.
If you come from an average family, be less extravagant.
Children are waiting here in large crowds just for the moment of receiving wedding candies.
Some shameless adults were also waiting here, waiting to pick up some candies.
At this moment, it was very chaotic and trampling incidents often occurred. Sanbao had the foresight to quickly pull his sister away from the crowd.
My sister was young and short, and she didn't care about being stepped on just to grab a few candies.
I can’t finish the candies at home, so I don’t want to snatch the soup to show off my own.
Those who rob him are giving face to his family.
They didn't want to give him this face.
The brother and sister can just watch the fun from the side.
When the children were scrambling for the food, suddenly, a group of people came from a distance.
The leader had a gong and drum hanging on his chest. Every time he took a step, he would strike the gong, making a clanging sound.
Some villagers were sharp-eyed and recognized it!
"It's the messenger from Zhishu Academy! Zhishu Academy has come with good news."
"Yes, yes, yes. They were the same people who went to Wangjia Village to deliver Wang Tiangou's acceptance letter last year."
"Here it comes! Here it comes! This way."
The villagers who were watching were looking forward to it, and Tang Mingxian's family also came out to greet them.
Xiao Yuanbao and Sanbao were too short and could not see anything even when they stood on tiptoe.
The children can't see it, and there are adults around, so the bike can ride on the adults' necks.
Cai didn't come, and even if she did, she wasn't as tall as the man, so she was blocked anyway and it was useless.
Sanbao suddenly had an idea.
The two young guys simply left the crowd and came to the edge of Tang Xianming's rice field, where there was a big haystack.
The two siblings climbed up nimbly.
Now, we are in a good position to look down and see everything clearly.
The man knocking the bell had already reached Tang Xianming's door.
Tang Xianming came out to greet them excitedly.
"Excuse me, are you the messenger sent by Zhishu Academy to deliver the letter?"
The man who was striking the gong stopped and said with a smile,
"Yes. I'm sending a letter to your Tangjia Village. This year, your Tangjia Village has accepted two children. This is very good, because this year the Zhishu School only accepted more than ten children in total. There are dozens of villages around, and many villages can't accept any children."
At this point, Tang Xianming's smile widened. "Right, you guys have come such a long way to deliver the letter. It's really troublesome. Why don't you come in and have a cup of hot tea and a quick meal?"
Who knew that the messengers said solemnly, "That won't work. We have to hurry and deliver the acceptance letters to the Li Zhengs in each village. May I ask where the Li Zheng of your Tangjia Village lives?"
Uncle Li Zheng came out early and heard the question.
He coughed and held out his hand, "It's me. Just give me the letter."
The messenger from Zhishu Academy took out the letter and said, "That's great. You don't have to go any further. Here, here it is for you."
"Congratulations to Tangjia Village! You have accepted two promising children at once. If they pass the examination and become scholars in the future, the whole village will benefit from it."
Uncle Li Zheng smiled and said, "Thank you, I hope you will give me good wishes."
He took the acceptance letter with both hands.
It was obvious that Tang next to him couldn't wait any longer. He took the soup and opened it first without waiting for Uncle Zheng to take a look.
I want to see my name on the acceptance letter so I can show it to my fellow villagers as soon as possible.
As soon as he opened it, the smug smile on Tang Xianming's face froze for a moment!
He rubbed his eyes and said, "Messengers, is there something wrong here? The name is wrong!"
Uncle Li Zheng's heart skipped a beat.
He took the acceptance letter.
It was a roll of blue cloth-patterned paper with the seal of Zhishu Academy on it.
There were two names written on the letter.
"Soup is heavy, soup is easy."
He held the letter upright, and the villagers on both sides were already very curious.
They all stood on tiptoe to look.
"Ah? Shouldn't it be Tang Dazhi or Tang Dayuan? Why is it written as Tang Zhong or Tang Yi?"
"Tang Zhong, who is Tang Yi?"
"Aren't Xiao Yuanbao's elder and second brothers Tang Zhong and Tang Yi?"
"Yeah! What's going on? Is this a mistake?"
…
The messengers who were delivering the letter frowned. "There is absolutely no mistake. They were all carefully selected by the teachers in our academy after examination. Whoever's name is written on the letter is the real person's name."
Xiao Yuanbao and Sanbao heard it on the haystack.
The two children couldn't believe it either.
Look at each other in bewilderment!
Then, it was Xiao Yuanbao who reacted first.
He slid down from the haystack in an instant.
He shouted with joy, "Oh, big brother, my second brother has been admitted to Zhishu Academy. That's great!"
Sanbao followed closely.
The two siblings squeezed into the center.
Little Yuanbao blinked at his uncle Lizheng with his big watery eyes.
She stretched out her hand and said happily, "Grandpa Li Zheng, please show me the acceptance letters of my elder and second brothers. I want to know the names of my brothers..."
Uncle Li Zheng handed the blue cloth paper scroll to Xiao Yuanbao.
Little Yuanbao's eyes lit up, "Wow, these are the names of my big brother and second brother. Big brother and second brother are awesome!"
Sanbao was also very excited, "Yes, my elder and second brothers are the best! I told you, even if my elder and second brothers only go to school for one day, they are better than some people who go to school for several years."
