Chapter 112: First place in the exam

The expression on Bai Yibo's face at this moment was very exciting. He was stunned because he knew that "Brother Bai Xian" was definitely not called him. He was much older than Mr. Li.

The others, almost like Bai Yibo, suddenly became quiet and looked at Bai Zepei with wide eyes. What kind of happy event could it be that the big boss of Labor Yamen came to congratulate him in person?

"Students have met Mr. Li." Bai Zepei bowed respectfully to Mr. Li, but Mr. Li hurriedly stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "I have long recognized your talent. When I looked at the ranking today, it turned out that I’m not disappointed, you Tongsheng took the case examination, which is a very good skill!”

Most of the people watching did not understand what the head of the case meant, but the old village chief had seen a lot of the world and shouted excitedly, "Bai Zepei Tongsheng won the first place in the exam. Not only was he admitted to be a scholar, but he was also admitted to eight villages in ten miles." The number one position has given us a lot of face in Houshan Village!"

At this time, everyone realized that the head of the case turned out to be the first place. This is really amazing. It is extremely difficult to pass the exam to be a scholar. Otherwise, how could the boss of the Bai family take the exam for decades to pass the exam? It is even more difficult to get the first place in this exam. I feel that I am the best among scholars.

What's more, Bai Zepei is only eighteen years old this year, so he is still young!

Looking at Bai Zepei again, despite such a great honor, he is still calm and composed, with a modest and polite smile on his face, and his eyes are bright. It can be seen that he is in a good mood, but he is not as proud as Bai Yibo?

Bai Yibo is proud? Many people covered their mouths and snickered. Bai Yibo's face fell down at this moment, as if someone owed him dozens of taels of silver, and the previous pride was gone.

"I'm just saying that Zepei's knowledge is so good, it's not just a show off, right? Who just told him to be more calm and not too impetuous?" Mr. Wang Qi said with a smile. He had a loud voice at the moment, and it sounded like he was I'm in a good mood and very hungry.

That's not the case. His granddaughter is going to marry the eldest son of the second wife of the Bai family, so she will have face.

Zhou Deshun had long been dissatisfied with Bai Yibo's style, and he echoed: "Yes, our Erlang is very calm. He didn't jump up even after taking the desk exam. It's not like some people who start to lecture others before they get better." .”

The onlookers were all here to watch the excitement. After hearing this, they looked at Bai Yibo with even more gloating eyes. Bai Yibo's face turned white and red in turns, and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl in.

Why was he so unlucky? After decades of taking exams, he finally felt proud and proud. Before he could let out his sullen voice, Erlang was on his head. Although he didn't want to admit it in his heart, could the talents of ordinary talents be compared with those of the chief criminal?

Lin Ping'er was not as steady as Bai Zepei. It took her a long time to finally hear clearly and confirm. She took Bai Zehao's arm and asked excitedly: "Dalang, did you hear clearly? Your brother got the first place in the exam." name?"

Seeing his mother like this, Bai Zehao couldn't help but blush. He supported Lin Ping'er and said, "Mom, you heard me right. My second brother got the first place in the exam and is also a scholar!"

Only then did Lin Pinger completely believe it. With tears on her face, she clasped her hands together and worshiped the Bodhisattva.

Bai Zepei thanked Mr. Li and said, "Sir, please allow me to thank my parents first."

Mr. Li nodded, very satisfied with Bai Zepei's good demeanor at the moment. He really did not recognize this good brother in vain. Speaking of which, isn't it because he has good taste? Thinking of this, Mr. Li felt proud.

Bai Zepei walked up to Bai Yihong and Lin Ping'er, knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "It's all thanks to my parents that I am here today. Thank you for cultivating me over the years, and thank you for your support of me." Trust and support.”

After he finished speaking, he didn't wait for the two of them to react, and kowtowed three times in a row, which made everyone else feel a burst of pain. Sure enough, when Lin Ping'er and Bai Yihong reacted and hurriedly helped him up, his forehead was already Bruised.

"Good boy, parents understand your filial piety, get up quickly." Bai Yihong said with tears streaming down his face. He is an out-and-out farmer who bleeds, sweats, but never sheds tears, but today he couldn't help but cry. Wept in front of the villagers.

The tears were filled with emotion, excitement, and relief.

Bai Zepei was helped up, then turned to Bai Zehao, bowed deeply and said, "Zepei also thanks my eldest brother for taking care of me in the future. Without my eldest brother to take care of the family and work hard, I wouldn't be able to persist to this day."

His results today were half as good as his elder brother's, but he kept them in mind and didn't talk about it. He said it for others to hear, and whether he could do it or not was his true reward for his elder brother.

Bai Zehao's eyes were also red. He hurriedly helped Bai Zepei and said in a choked voice: "Second brother, what are we brothers talking about?"

Bai Zepei nodded, yes, everyone has the same mind and can understand without saying anything.

The people in the village were amazed, and some people murmured, "Look at Bai Zepei. He was the first to kowtow to his parents and then thank his elder brother after taking the exam. Bai Yibo knew he was a scholar, but he didn't Those who kowtow to thank their father are just thinking about themselves."

You can tell who has filial piety at a glance. It is easiest to reveal your true thoughts when you are proud of the spring breeze and have horse hoofs.

Bai Zepei turned to the old man again, strode over, knelt down as well, kowtowed to the old man, and said, "Zepei has to thank grandpa for his enlightenment, which has benefited me a lot."

It's just that this time the kowtow was only once, and there was no ring of kowtow. Everyone would naturally understand what was more important, but Bai Zepei had done all the filial piety and etiquette. What could the old man say?

Everyone couldn't help but think about what happened a few days ago, when the old man slapped Bai Zepei outside the door of the second room of the Bai family for the sake of his eldest son. They couldn't help but shake their heads, thinking that the old man of the Bai family was really old and confused.

Only then did Bai Fu come back to his senses from the shock. He looked at his eldest son and then at his second grandson. He was indeed proud that the Bai family had brought the case to a head. At the same time, he felt sorry for his eldest son who had finally managed to survive. , but was robbed of the glory by his nephew.

He paid Bai Zepei and stood up, with a loving smile on his face, and said: "Okay, okay, this is really a great thing. Our Bai family has two more talented people. From now on, you and your uncle will go to the examination room to take the provincial examination. It’s a good story.”

Only then did Mr. Li notice Bai Yibo and said with a smile: "It turns out that another person in the Bai family has passed the scholar examination. I didn't know he was your uncle. This is really a double happiness."

When Bai Yibo saw Master Li noticing him, he immediately cheered up, went over to salute, and said, "Student Bai Yibo has met Master Li."

Someone nearby couldn't help laughing. Bai Zepei was young, so he called himself a student. Bai Yibo was almost as old as Mr. Li's father, so he called himself a student.

Master Li hummed casually, then pulled Bai Zepei over and said, "Brother Bai Xian, why don't you invite me to your house for a cup of tea? This reward will have to be carried to your house."

It can be considered a bit of a mistreatment and a scumbag match. Is it fun for everyone to watch?
