The tempting aroma of meat even temporarily diluted the tense atmosphere in the Cui family.
The whole family sat around the table, their eyes glowing green.
Even Old Mrs. Cui couldn't help swallowing her saliva.
God knows how long it has been since I last saw meat on the dinner table at home!
Before she started eating, Mrs. Cui glanced at Lin.
Lin understood and lowered her voice and said, "Don't worry, mother. The door is closed tightly."
Mrs. Cui then said, "Let's eat."
The meal was eaten in silence, but everyone had a satisfied look on their faces.
Because it smells good!
Cui Xian also ate several large slices of bacon, and the meat was indeed plump and delicious, much better than the water-injected pork in modern society!
This is probably one of the few advantages of the ancient times when there was no technology and no hard work.
After dinner.
Cui Xuan licked the grease from the corners of his mouth and said with emotion: "I really wish I could eat bacon every meal."
It can be seen that this is a typical greedy girl.
Mrs. Cui smiled and continued, "When your father and uncle are admitted to high school, our Cui family will definitely have no shortage of meat to eat."
In one sentence, the relaxed atmosphere was brought back to reality.
Brothers Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan looked at each other and said solemnly: "Don't worry, mother, your son will do his best!"
Old Mrs. Cui's eyes were filled with expectation, but in the end she just said, "Just do your best. Health is the most important thing after you enter the examination room. Go ahead."
After lunch, the two brothers set out to stay overnight in Nanyang County.
Tomorrow morning, I will go directly to Gongyuan to take part in the examination.
This is actually very convenient.
Unlike students from other counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang Prefecture, they have to spend several days to come to Nanyang for the exam.
Of course, if the Cui brothers passed the academy examination and the prefectural examination and became scholars, there would still be the provincial examination.
At that time, he would leave Nanyang Prefecture and rush to Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of Henan Province, to take the exam.
If he passed the provincial examination again, he would have to travel thousands of miles to the capital to take part in the metropolitan examination and the palace examination...
Forget it, don’t participate for now.
Because the Cui brothers failed the exam again.
The day before leaving for the exam, they made a bold statement: we will definitely pass this time.
When they came back from the exam, they both looked pale and evasive, and they both hid in the house and refused to go out.
Old Mrs. Cui was worried about the announcement of the exam results every day, but she was also afraid of it. She didn't even dare to ask her son how he did in the exam.
Wait until the day when the county government announces the results.
Old Mrs. Cui went there in person with her two sons.
Outside the yamen, people were crowded together.
Some people who passed the exam cried with joy, while others who failed cried bitterly. This really shows the different aspects of life.
Old Mrs. Cui squeezed in eagerly, squinted her old eyes, and looked at the list again and again with a hopeful look.
She could barely read.
But he could never find the names of his two sons on the red case list.
After a long time, Mrs. Cui finally gave up and broke down in the crowd, crying: "I didn't win, I still didn't win! Why, God, why is this happening!"
The brothers Cui Boshan and Cui Zhongyuan were so ashamed that their faces turned pale.
The people around them looked at them and sighed.
"That's the Cui brothers, they took the exam for ten years and still failed!"
"Alas! I can only say that the Cui family just doesn't have that kind of luck."
"Yeah, accept your fate as soon as possible."
