fairy family

Chapter 76 Hey! I won

After tribe leader Fu Jin spat out a mouthful of blood, the stuffy feeling in his chest and abdomen eased a lot, but his expression became more ferocious.

There were other people in the ancestral hall. When they saw the appearance of the clan leader Fu Jin, they quickly spoke up:
"Chief, I will drive those people out right now!"

But the clan leader Fu Jin immediately reached out to stop him. He lowered his head and made a strange giggle:

"Nonsense!
Today is a happy day for our clan. It is indeed because I am foolish and do not know the etiquette that I insist on holding a funeral today.

"Old Eight, you should treat those yamen runners well and don't be stingy with the money. After they accept the money, tell them the current address of Yu Que."

A mature-looking tribesman immediately responded: "I'll do it right away!"

As the other party turned to leave, he paused and said, "Since the clan leader is so generous, the kid from the Yu family will definitely understand the rules of propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, and come back to kowtow and admit his mistakes."

In the face of the tribesmen's words of comfort, tribe leader Fu Jin remained silent. He closed his eyes tightly and tried his best to suppress the murderous intent that was welling up in his heart.

By the time the tribesmen walked out of the ancestral hall and the noise outside the hall gradually died down, Fu Jin's murderous intent was finally curbed.

At this moment he opened his eyes with a look of disappointment, stared at the brazier for a long time, and finally turned around and looked back.

However, what this person was looking at was not the runners outside the hall who came to congratulate him, nor the plaque that topped the list, but his two good-for-nothing eldest and second sons who were dozing off in front of the two coffins respectively.

Looking at the two children, Fu Jin's eyes were extremely complicated, and he sighed: "It would be great if you could have one tenth of the success of the Yu family."

........................

the other side.

When the sound of firecrackers rang out at the gate of the county school, a tapping sound was heard in the quiet room where Yu Que was.

A pair of rough hands reached out and directly lifted the quilt covering his head. After tapping the quilt a few times with a wooden ruler, they folded it neatly beside the bed.

"Hurry up! A master refiner in the guild said that the county school has announced the results."

The person who came was Yu Que's aunt. Her face was full of joy and anxiety. Without Yu Que saying a word, she had already brought shoes, socks, clothes, belts and everything else to Yu Que.

When Yu Que wanted to lie in bed for a while, she directly pulled his ears.

But after grabbing him, she thought about how Yu Que was now an official and would be on the list today to become a county student, so she withdrew her finger in dismay and just tapped Yu Que with the wooden ruler, coaxing him:

"You are already an adult. Today is a serious day. How can you still lie in bed?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Que suddenly opened his eyes.

He smiled at his aunt, then obediently let her guide him. He got up from the bed, yawning, and put on his clothes one by one.

As he was getting dressed, he looked up and saw his two cousins, one big and one small, at the door of the quiet room, clinging to the door frame and looking inside the quiet room.

There was another figure outside the door, dressed neatly and properly, but his movements were anxious. He was pacing in front of the door of Yu Que's quiet room, walking back and forth, appearing to be extremely uneasy.

This man is Yu Que's uncle.

When Yu Que had put on his clothes, his aunt called out without even turning her head:
"Everyone come in!"

Two cousins, one big and one small, came in carrying basins of water and bamboo baskets.

One of them helped Yu Que wash and brush his teeth, and together with his aunt, helped him take care of his robes and hair, while the other one stood on tiptoe to take out the porridge and side dishes from the bamboo basket and feed them to Yu Que.

While feeding the little cousin, Fu Yuan said with great envy:

"Que'er, can you guys come and serve me together like you did today someday?"

Without waiting for Yu Que to reply, she slapped her aunt on the head.

My aunt scolded me, "You have no respect for your elder brother! Call me brother!"

The little cousin had a happy expression on her face, but she suddenly started to cry. She almost dropped a few tears and snot into Yu Que's bowl, which frightened Yu Que so much that he quickly took his own porridge from her hands.

"Take it easy and don't waste anything." He said with disgust and kicked his little cousin out.

This time, the little cousin's tears and snot, which she had been trying to hold back, could no longer be contained and suddenly fell down.

She looked around with tears in her eyes, only to see her mother concentrating on Yu Que's hair bun, not even taking the time to look at her. Her sister had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of gloating.

"Woo woo!" The girl covered her eyes with her arms and stuffed the bamboo basket in her hand to Yu Que:
"Here you go, all for you!"

She turned around and rushed to her uncle who was pacing anxiously outside the door. The uncle, who was already uneasy, had to suppress his anxiety and squatted down with a pleasant face, coaxing his precious little girl in a gentle voice.

Finished all the chores.

From the time Yu Que got up to the time he finished washing up, it didn't even take a quarter of an hour.

He was clean and had a refreshing temperament. He walked out of the quiet room with eyes as bright as lacquer and a happy face. He looked like a beautiful young man, and every part of his body was extremely handsome.

"Today is a big day for our family, so don't cry, be good."

My uncle finally managed to coax his little daughter into submission.

When he saw Yu Que coming out, he was about to step forward, but when he glanced at his little daughter's face, which looked as if she was about to cry, he sighed softly, picked up the girl and held her in his arms.

My uncle asked, "Que'er, the county school has announced the results. Do we really not need to go and see them?"

Yu Que saluted his uncle and shook his head.
"Why bother with such trouble? If you have the time, why not get some more sleep? The list is there anyway, and you can't run away from it."

He smiled and said, "Besides, the county school will send someone to report anyone who is on the list. We can just wait here for that person to come."

As soon as Yu Que finished speaking, he raised his eyes.

There was a commotion in the front yard of the Alchemist Guild, and the sound of footsteps and excitement could be heard.

The next moment, a group of people came out from the front yard, and after seeing Yu Que and others, they all ran straight towards Yu Que's family with shining eyes.

"Look, someone has come to report it."

Yu Que raised his chin, motioned his uncle to look at the group of people, and chuckled as he said:
"Uncle, I think we will be busy today."

Whenever a family passes the entrance exam to the county school, not only will all the friends from all over the country come to congratulate them, but at least all the relatives will definitely come to visit, and they will take turns visiting at any time of day or night.

You would also feel embarrassed to turn others away, because they might have learned about the red list and immediately set off, rushing here overnight and from far away.

This is exactly what Yu Quekou meant by "I'm busy today", and the reason why he himself did not look at the list and did not allow his family to look at the list.

Instead of wasting energy to squeeze and look at the list, it is better to conserve your energy and wait to celebrate happily.

It should be noted that considering Yu Que's achievements and status, it would be naive and arrogant to say that he would definitely be at the top of the list, but he would definitely be one of the top ten students!
If he didn't even make it into the top ten, Yu Que would not necessarily go and beat the drum to protest or shout about cheating, but he would definitely give up his place as a county student in the Seventh County School, rush directly to another place to prepare for the exam, and publicize the matter widely.

In front of the quiet room, my uncle, aunt and others looked at the crowd rushing over from the front yard, their faces full of excitement.

However, they knew clearly that based on Yu Que's grades and the scene before them, Yu Que had a 100% chance of being admitted to the county school. But their palms were still sweaty and they were extremely nervous.

Before the crowd came too close, they shouted loudly from afar:
"Congratulations to Yu Bangtou, congratulations to Yu Bangtou!"

"Congratulations, Master Yu Que, for winning the first place in the county exam. We, Fengmanlou, have come to congratulate you. Please have a banquet with us today, free of charge!"

"Li's Tailor Shop also congratulates Mr. Yu!"

Yu Que suddenly heard the word "top" from their mouths. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still felt a little dizzy for a moment.

This moment of dizziness made him experience a little bit of the joy of "passing the imperial examination" as the ancients said!
A look of great joy surged from Yu Que's heart, passed through his lungs, and went straight to his head, making his face suddenly bright.

All the grace and calmness that Yu Que had planned in his mind were instantly thrown out of his mind.

Since you are on the list, the road to immortality has been opened, and you are at the top of the list in the whole district!

Why should we be artificial and suppress such a great joy in life and bring honor to our family?

Yu Que's eyes lit up, he laughed out loud, and uttered the popular lines for passing the imperial examination:
"Ah! I got it."

However, compared with those ecstatic people, there was no madness on his face. He just turned around with a happy face, looked at his uncle, aunt and others, and hugged them.

My uncle, aunt and others all looked excited and happy at this moment.

Even the little cousin Fu Yuan, who was angry just now, was so happy that her face turned red. She even stretched out her hand and patted Yu Que's head:

"Yuque, you got it, you got it."

Amid the family's laughter and joy, the crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly rang out at the gate of the Alchemists' Guild, attracting the attention of many confused apprentices and alchemists.

All the eyes passed through the courtyard and fell on Yu Que's family, some with surprise, some with envy, some with jealousy, some with joy, and so on.
