Chapter 260 The Control Group Quit Working (10)
The days of waiting were ordinary. Mo Ci continued to study calmly. Being a student was not enough to make him proud and complacent.
What's more, he has to reach the highest position among the officials this time.
Therefore, the revolution is not yet complete and comrades still need to work hard.
However, the other people in the Jiang family were more nervous than him, even Yan Zhishan was a little nervous.
However, after seeing that Mo Ci was so calm and composed, he, as a teacher, naturally had to remain calm.
In the eyes of the Jiang family, he is indeed worthy of being a teacher, as he is very calm.
Little did they know that on the day the results were announced, Yan Zhishan had already gone forward to see the list.
He was looking down from above, and unexpectedly the first name was "Jiang Yi".
When he saw Jiang Yi's name, Yan Zhishan rubbed his eyes and waited to make sure that he was not mistaken.
He pretended to be calm and walked away with his hands behind his back. It would have been better if the corners of his mouth were not so raised.
After Yan Zhishan knew that Mo Ci had won the first place in the county examination, he went back to share his joy with Ye Wan first. Only then did he finally suppress his excessive joy and called Mo Ci, who was studying hard, out of the private school.
"Ahem! The results of today's child exam are out, and I've checked them for you."
Mo Ci looked up at Yan Zhishan and could tell at a glance that Yan Zhishan was trying hard to suppress his joy and pretending to be serious.
I guess I know that my grades are good, maybe I will be the top scorer.
It’s not that Mo Ci is conceited, it’s just that the questions in the children’s exam are too simple, and it’s not the first time Mo Ci has learned this.
You know, he had received better teachings in the previous world.
So, he is confident in his own abilities.
However, he only showed a bit of anticipation on his face and bowed to Yan Zhishan.
"Excuse me, Master, but I wonder what rank I got this time?"
When Yan Zhishan heard this and thought of the name written at the top, he almost couldn't maintain his serious expression and coughed lightly again.
"So confident, you think you can definitely pass the exam?"
Mo Ci nodded and said seriously.
"I have memorized everything the Master has taught me. If I can't even pass the exam, wouldn't that be a waste of the Master's careful instruction?"
Yan Zhishan is a scholar, so what he gives to Mo Ci must be good. If he can't even pass the examination to become a student, wouldn't he be unworthy of the title of scholar and teacher?
Mo Ci said this to show that he studied hard and to compliment Yan Zhishan.
Although Yan Zhishan taught more than one student, only a few of them passed the examination to become a Tongsheng.
But all of that can be attributed to the fact that the students did not fully remember what Yan Zhishan taught. It was not that Yan Zhishan was not a good teacher, but that the students did not learn well.
These words sounded particularly soothing to Yan Zhishan, and he said them as well.
"Good boy, you said it beautifully. You won first place this time, but you can't let it get you complacent. The road ahead is still long."
Mo Ci's face showed joy, and he bowed respectfully to Yan Zhishan again.
"Students remember the Master's teachings."
Yan Zhishan waved his hand and said, "I'll give you half a day off today. I'll accompany you to bring this good news back."
Mo Ci nodded, looking completely obedient and well-behaved, but before they left the private school, people from the government office arrived.
Of course, the other party came to congratulate Mo Ci.
There are only a handful of ten-year-old boys in the whole Zhaohe.
In addition, among these ten-year-old students, only Mo Ci came from a farming family, which made him even more precious.
The county magistrate also knew some of Yan Zhishan's background and was very respectful to him.
Seeing that Mo Ci, as a student of Yan Zhishan, was the top scorer in the Tongsheng exam, he became more and more excited.
At least, in the county magistrate's opinion, as long as Mo Ci is willing to learn, his future will definitely be easy.
You can still reach a higher position, so there is no harm in trying to please him now.
After saying congratulations, considering that the Jiang family was just an ordinary farming family, he gave fifty taels as a gift.
Mo Ci did not take over immediately, but looked up at Yan Zhishan and asked him what he needed to do.
Yan Zhishan was delighted when his students asked him for advice, as he was afraid that Mo Ci would become too proud of himself because he was the first in a case.
Now it seems that his character is also very good.
Yan Zhishan considered it for a while, and finally reached out to take the fifty taels.
This was sent in the name of the county government, and in the future Mo Ci passed the imperial examination and became a scholar or a juren.
Even if he did nothing, just passing the exam would be a great help to the county magistrate.
At worst, there is still his teacher standing in front.
So, you can accept this money.
After taking the fifty taels, Yan Zhishan acted like an elder and sent the other party away, then took Mo Ci back to Liushui Township.
The two of them went there in a horse-drawn carriage. The carriage was arranged by the county magistrate. He had already accepted the money and had no shortage of such a carriage.
What's more, Yan Zhishan felt that this was more in line with the momentum of Mo Ci returning to the village to congratulate him.
Just like that, the carriage entered Liushui Township and attracted a lot of people's attention.
When they saw Mo Ci coming down from Liushui Township, many people gathered around.
Then he saw Yan Zhishan and subconsciously kept his distance.
The farmers were all a bit wary of such scholars, unlike Mo Ci who was from Liushui Township and they were all acquaintances, so they didn't have to worry too much.
The Jiang family also came out of the house when they heard the noise. Yan Zhishan looked at the people around him and raised the volume without intentionally doing so.
"I'm here to congratulate you today. Jiang Yi is now a successful candidate. Oh, and he's also the top candidate in this case."
As soon as these words were spoken, the Jiang family was a little dizzy from the good news.
Even the onlookers were so shocked when they heard this that they were speechless.
They knew that Mo Ci had participated in this year's children's exam, but how many people took part in the children's exam every year?
There are many people in their teens and twenties, but not many of them pass the exam.
So even though they knew that Mo Ci was a good student, they never thought that Mo Ci would pass the exam this time.
Even if you really pass the exam, you won’t do very well.
But what did they hear now? It was the first case!
What is the first place? It is the first place in this children's exam!
Then, something happened that made them even more envious. Yan Zhishan took out fifty taels of silver sent by the county government from his arms and handed it to the Jiang family with a smile.
"This is the reward from the county government for the top scorer in this year's child exam. Keep it safe. With this money, you won't have to live so shabbily anymore."
Mo Ci stood aside honestly, letting Yan Zhishan say everything he needed to say, and then he stood there calmly under everyone's envious gazes.
The Jiang family was overjoyed when they received the heavy amount of silver.
He also wanted to invite Yan Zhishan to have dinner at his home, but was rejected by Yan Zhishan.
He also had to go back and write a letter to his teacher, and after Mo Ci passed the examination to become a scholar, he would recommend him to Qingshan Academy.
Yan Zhishan thought that this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later, so he did not stay any longer.
After Yan Zhishan left in the carriage, the people who had been talking quietly just now suddenly became louder.
There were also people staring at Mo Ci, the first person in the case, and their gazes were extremely hot.
Mo Ci stood there silently, and was then pulled in by Cui Ai. As for the others, they were dealt with by other members of the Jiang family.
As soon as he entered the yard, Mo Ci was picked up by Cui Ai and kissed on his forehead.
In today's world where everyone is different every seven years, Cui Ai's actions are enough to prove how happy she is. Mo Ci just said this with red ears.
"Mom, I'm going to read a book."
"Go ahead, go ahead, hahaha..."
Cui Ai looked at her son's red ears, quickened her pace, and laughed heartily.
Not only her, but everyone in the Jiang family smiled brightly.
Even the younger generations were infected and started laughing.
Cui Ai also counted the money in the bag in front of the whole family, and there were actually fifty taels. While the Jiang family exclaimed, they realized more and more how valuable Mo Ci, the first suspect in the case, was.
"You three take this money, and remember to give Xiaoyi whatever he needs. This is Xiaoyi's own hard-earned money, so don't be jealous."
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the other sons and daughters-in-law, and they naturally had no objection.
After all, Mo Ci was able to get the first place in the Tongsheng exam, and next time he might be able to get the first place in the Xiucai exam, and the next time...
That is the supreme honor, being able to change the existence of a family, how can money compare to it?
The Jiang family is clear-headed and understands that their entire family will have to rely on Mo Ci in the future.
