Chapter 409: Parade again.
Grandma Yan smiled so hard that her face wrinkled, with an expression of pride. Even if she was ranked last, she was happy enough. How could she feel ashamed?
Three of the five people were parading in the streets. Qingliu County had a good harvest this time in the imperial examination. It was good to have passed one or two examinations in previous years. In some years, one person failed.
"We also want to go down, and we also want to watch Tan Hwa Lang parading through the streets."
The children were chattering and wanted to jump out of the car. Looking at the car in front of them, Yan Yuge from the car behind them was also shouting from behind, and he was shouting very loudly. Even if there was a huge crowd, they were still in front. heard it.
"We all need to go down."
"I saw my father, did you see that? The greatest official is my father."
When he returned to his own territory, Yuan Bao also screamed loudly and tried to jump down.
I also forgot that the fathers and grandfathers of the children around me had official positions much higher than the county magistrate.
But we made a three-part agreement before going out. We just made loud noises until we got permission. No one would really jump out of the car, and every car was blocked by women and maids.
As expected, the children were stopped by Grandma Yan: "No one is in a hurry, no one can get out of the car, there are too many people, everything has to be arranged by Uncle Zimo."
The children were called "Gui", but they were very obedient. Before leaving Beijing, the adults of each family, including the ladies, warned them that they must act in unison and obey the Yan family's orders when going out.
Not long after, Zimo came from the front. He must have passed with Yan Yongning and the others just now.
After a while, the guards followed his instructions and sent a message to the back: "All carriages and horses should follow the one in front. Don't fall behind and advance to the county government office."
"Then we can't watch Fourth Uncle and the others parade through the streets?"
"That's right. It's a pity that it's so lively. We want to see it too."
"Why? We want to see our fourth uncle, grandpa and sister-in-law."
Everyone was a little disappointed, and they all expressed their disapproval.
"Don't worry, Mr. Xiao told us to wait at the gate of the county government after we go back. There will be a simple ceremony there when we parade. The fourth master will also give a speech. Finally, we have to go to the county school and say All the primary and secondary school students in the county are queuing up at the gate of the county school."
Hearing what Uncle Zimo said, Yuan Bao shouted again: "Ah, then go back to my house first, and you can see far from the gate near the stone lion! After the ceremony is over, I will take a shortcut to take you to the county school."
When Yuanbao arrived at his own territory, he was very talkative and lively, and the children's interest suddenly became high again.
Even so, it still took a long time for their motorcade to enter the city gate because there were so many people watching.
But they still got ahead of the parade.
"Did you see that? That's my father, the one standing under the city gate and commanding."
"I saw Dean Gao."
"There is also Mr. Lan Chuan, also riding a horse, right next to Dean Gao."
"Father, father, Yuanbao is here, I'm back."
Master Xiao didn't know whether it was because he saw their group or because his son Yuanbao was making noises, so he waved to them, which made the children even more excited.
Their team was too large, but there were so many children chirping, and the children didn't look like locals, and there were so many guards guarding them.
There were many people watching and commenting, but they did not move as they watched the parade, nor did they follow them.
After entering the city and walking several hundred feet, it was finally not that crowded.
"Grandma, aren't we going back to Peach Blossom Village tonight?"
Grandma didn't know how to answer Chu Chu's words.
They originally planned to secretly return to Peach Blossom Village, knowing that Master Xiao would definitely make a fuss if they knew about it, but they didn't expect that Master Xiao would have sent people out to intercept them at the intersection.
Now the plan cannot keep up with the changes.
"When you get to Qingliu County, just listen to Mr. Xiao. It doesn't matter if you go back a day late."
They are all students from Qingliu County. With such good results, Mr. Xiao is happy and so are the people. It is also an honor for Qingliu County and the county school.
Without making some noise, the people would not know that Qingliu County has achieved such good results. Grandma Yan understands this.
So he said to the children: "Didn't Uncle Zimo just say that? The students have already been on vacation, and now they are here to participate in this ceremony. The county government and the county school must want the students who passed the exam to encourage the students to study hard. In the future, I can better serve the court and my hometown."
"I understand, grandma, my grandson will be like them in the future and serve the imperial court and Qingliu County."
Erlang kept listening and watching silently, and his will became stronger.
"We also need to read good books. Only by reading good books can we serve the court."
Seeing that everyone speaking was full of confidence, Yaya tilted her head and looked a little depressed. She had been studying very seriously, but she still had poor grades.
"Yaya, don't worry. You can do a lot of things even if you don't study well. Farming good land, being a carpenter like my second uncle, and doing business like Sister Zhenzhen are all ways of serving the imperial court, right, grandma."
Yaya's negativity can only be comforted by Chuchu and Sanlang.
"Yes, you girls can open embroidery workshops, silver shops, and cloth shops. Even if you have children, you are still serving the imperial court."
"You can also open a medical clinic."
Chu Chu and San Lang's words finally comforted Yaya.
"really?"
Yaya's face is still chubby and round. She is two years older and her body is thinner, but her chubby face has not changed at all.
She finally showed a smile now, revealing two small dimples. It suddenly turned cloudy and sunny, but she was still so cute.

"Dean Gao, it's us. These are all my friends in the capital."
At the gate of the county government office, they stood on the highest step. After listening to the enthusiastic words of their fourth uncle and sister-in-law as representatives, they were led to the gate of the county school by Yuan Bao without waiting to see the awards given to them.
If you don’t come in advance, you won’t be able to get in later.
But they were stopped a hundred or two hundred feet in front of the gate of the county school. Beyond that was the fifth-level archway of the county school.
The people around were also crowded, no less than those under the city gate just now.
There were many students standing neatly under the archway, and it was impossible to squeeze in.
From a distance, I saw Dean Gao who had also come back early, calling loudly for some benefits if he wanted to squeeze in front of him, but Dean Gao couldn't hear him at all. He was also very busy, and all the students below, both big and small, needed him to come. command.
The people standing at the foot of Tongshengfang are all children of several years old;
The people standing under the scholar archway should be the scholars who have passed the exams in the county, some are in their teens, and some have gray beards.
The ones further down should be mostly students from the county school. After all, there aren’t too many candidates in the past years, and there shouldn’t be many working locally, right?
However, they still squeezed in, but when they got to Tongshengfang, there was no way to squeeze forward. They should have been standing here, and they looked about the same height as those elementary school students.
The children looked at them and said nothing. They probably thought they were from a nearby college and thought they were late.
