Because he didn’t know the contents of the Jinshi examination and had no information for reference, Liao Tingyu could only read more books to learn more about the major events in the court.

The feeling of being scratched blind was really unpleasant.

The examination for Jinshi did not take as long as the examination for candidates. It only took one day.

But this time Liao Tingyu was very nervous.

He took a deep breath outside the examination room to calm down.

He secretly told himself that he would succeed, but for some reason, he was so excited that he started to tremble.

This time, there was only one test on current affairs in the exam, which happened to be about rogue bandits in the south. There were literally 100 ways to deal with these people.@@novelbin@@

After Liao Tingyu saw this question, he was full of confidence and his writing was as smooth as a blessing from God.

When he came back in the afternoon, Mother Deng and Liao Ming had a tacit understanding and did not ask him how he did in the exam.

As usual, he was asked to help Liao Shi move his things back from his stall.

Then the whole family gathered together and counted the copper coins earned today.

At first, he thought he could do it, but less than a day later, when he saw those people visiting other people’s mansions, his heart started playing drums.

The days of waiting were very painful. Liao Tingyu had something on his mind and always slept lightly every night, leaving a light panda mark on his handsome face.

Huang Zilan felt very distressed, but could not share part of it.

After all, it was a group of horses racing, and some of them brought their own food.

Liao Tingyu felt very unsure, and Mi Gao at home was restricted so he could not make a fuss.

He spent a whole month in silence and depression.

.

On the day when the list was posted, the whole family sat together quietly. Seeing that no one in the family moved, Mother Deng asked tentatively: “Should we go and have a look?”

“We must go.” Liao Ming felt that he had no strength in his hands today, “Youngest son, let’s go. No matter whether you pass or not, you are the most capable of our Liao family.”

“I’m fine, Dad, let’s go.” The family held hands in and gave each other strength.

The people in front of the list had dispersed, and Mother Deng didn’t even have the courage to look up.

Only Mi Gao looked at the words on it blankly. He didn’t recognize many of them, but: “Grandma, my uncle’s name, Mi Gao recognizes it, Grandma!”

After listening to the child’s words, several people raised their heads suddenly, “Where is it? Mi Gao, where is your uncle’s name?”

“There, Liao Tingyu. My uncle’s name.” Mi Gao pointed to the name quickly to take credit.

Sure enough, those three familiar words burned into their hearts made Mother Deng and Liao Ming cry with joy.

Liao Tingyu and Huang Zilan also relaxed. Liao Shi and Wen Xiuer held hands, tears streaming down their faces.

From then on, the carp jumped over the dragon gate and transformed into a dragon and a phoenix.

Liao Tingyu was surprisingly at the bottom of the list.

Onlookers looked at the family’s strange behavior, and some well-meaning people asked if they needed help.

Mother Deng gathered herself together. She couldn’t hide the smile on her face, and her mouth almost burst out. “Haha, thank you for your concern. We’re fine. Come on, why don’t we go to a restaurant for a meal? I’m so old. I have never eaten food in the restaurant, but I heard from those people that the food in the restaurant is expensive and delicious. Why don’t we go and try it today.” As she spoke, she couldn’t stop crying. Her son really made her proud.

“Okay, let’s go to a restaurant.” Liao Ming took Mother Deng’s hand and waved his hand, showing the momentum of a big family. The two old people walked in front and supported each other.

He whispered to his wife, “Don’t cry. I’ve worked hard for you all these years. It’s all my fault. When we got married, I promised to give you a good life, but in the end, it made you live such a miserable life.”

“You are still thinking about old things. I did it, there is one good thing I did. Giving birth to a fat baby is all due to me. I have two children in my life, and it was all because of my belly that I gave birth to such a promising son.” Mother Deng touched her belly, crying and laughing at the same time.

“That’s right, you are the most powerful, and your son is capable.” Liao Ming said in agreement.

.

In the restaurant, Mother Deng was still very confident, but she flinched when she saw the price.

Liao Ming felt sad. Even though these were more than ten times more expensive than in their county, he still made a decision, “Don’t think so much, just order and have a portion of the signature dish. Eldest son, what do you want to order? youngest, don’t hesitate. It’s good food, come on, eat!”

“Well, order, don’t look at the money behind, we just want to enjoy a good meal today.”

“Grandma, I want to eat sugar cake.” Mi Gao looked at the table next to him, the pastries were a bit drool-worthy.

“Okay, one more cake.” Mother Deng thought about it. Today was different from the past. When her son becomes an official, he could brag about having eaten at a big restaurant in the capital. It would be more face-saving, so she agreed generously.

This meal costed dozens of taels, and Huang Zilan was the one who rushed to give the money.
