Chapter 398

Something happened in Taiping Temple in Beichang Prefecture that the people of Beichang Prefecture had been chanting for a long time. This is the case. The wives and grandmothers of Lord He Xuezheng were burning the incense of Wenchang Bodhisattva. Suddenly, good news came from home, and the He family's uncle was on the list of gold.

Oh, the old lady of the He family was almost overjoyed. She said that the Bodhisattvas in Taiping Temple were very effective, so she donated a full 100 taels of incense and oil money, and then went home to receive the good news!

From then on, the effectiveness of Taiping Temple Wenchang Bodhisattva was famous throughout Beichang Prefecture.

The facts are similar to the rumors. I don’t know how to be so arrogant. Grandma, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law, and three generations are burning incense devoutly, and the family manager is coming to report the good news! Since A Lie is overwhelmed, Old Madam He and Shen, Yu Xing is naturally overjoyed. At that moment, the incense is not burned and he is going home. However, the slick monk came to congratulate him immediately when he saw this, and he looked like a silly man, "The Bodhisattvas in my temple are so effective."

I was overjoyed and donated 100 taels of spice and oil.

Well, Yu Xing has always been a big deal, let alone the great event of her husband becoming a Jinshi. Not to mention that she had only brought 100 taels with her at that time, if she had brought 500 taels at that time, she would probably have to donate them all in the joy. At present, the He family no longer burned incense and hurriedly took the bus home.

As soon as Mrs. He got home, she asked, "The good news is here."

Madam Tian came with Acan, and Atian presented the good news. Madam Tian smiled and said, "I took my husband at home. The person who reported the good news has been here. Because it was a big happy event, I was the master. On behalf of my husband, I rewarded two first-class tickets for each person. The firecrackers have been prepared, so I will let them go."

Mrs. He hurriedly received the good news. Shen Shi was over and saw that it was 78th place on the second list. They were all very happy. Yu Xun never stopped smiling along the way. Now that he really saw the good news, he was even more happy and said, "My husband is on the second list. If he performs well, Shu Jishi will also pass the exam."

Old Madam He smiled and said, "No better than his position back then."

Shen smiled, "A Lie is much younger than his father's Jinshi who passed the imperial examination back then."

"Yes." Old Niang He was very happy. Thinking of the imperial examination path of his descendants, he couldn't help but say, "What was the condition for Agong to enter the school? There was not a single Jinshi in Hexian County. The most knowledgeable one was Mr. Xu. Mr. Xu was just a juren, and teaching scholars was enough. If you want to ask for advanced knowledge, you have to go to Qingcheng Mountain. How hard it is. Now A Lie, not to mention those who are knowledgeable as Luo Daru, he is also his brother-in-law who is from Jinshi. He walked so smoothly."

Mrs. Shen thought about the difficulty of the imperial examinations in the past, and was quite touched by her mother-in-law's words. She also said, "A Lie can pass the imperial examinations, and she has received more teachings from Luo Daru. Mr. Luo has to give it back up and send it to Mr. Luo, which is also a good news to Mr. Luo." Thinking about it, Mrs. Shen said, "When Brother Jun comes back, call Brother Jun over." It is not appropriate for Luo Daru to be in charge of the business.

Yu Xing said, "Then I will prepare the gift first."

Shen's son is not unfavorable to marry a daughter-in-law from a wealthy family, especially Yu Xing, who is not stingy at all. Now Yu Xing handles things like A Lie's courtesy.

When talking about preparing gifts for Luo Daru, Mrs. He said to Shen, "Hurry and send someone to the girl's movies, hehe, she said that her divination is quite effective, and ten taels of silver are not in vain! Even the three girls and Aren will send someone to the house. Tomorrow, we will come here to make a living for the whole day."

Shen replied with a smile.

Yu Xing held his son and ordered, "Madam Tian, ​​please make arrangements."

Madam Tian leaned over and said with a smile, "If there is such a happy event at home, everyone will pay an extra month of monthly money, and I will pay it from my private room."

This happy event is also a happy event for Mrs. Shen. Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "I can afford such a little money."

Old lady He coughed lightly and said, "Let your grandson-in-law come out, she is a big family."

Everyone in the room laughed. A Can didn't know anything, but seeing that everyone was happy, he also slapped his hands and made fun of it. Yu Xing smiled, "On this day of such a big happy day, we all went out to burn incense. This good news was received by A Can."

Mrs. He hurriedly said, "This is the best sign. In the future, Acan will continue to study and take the Jinshi exam like him."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "I'm looking forward to the good words of the old lady."

Old lady He was very happy and very happy.

Those who are officials in the yamen naturally received the list of the spring exam this year. Beichang Prefecture has always been a poor spring exam. The entire Beichang Prefecture has only won eight Jinshi. Among them, there is A Lie. Moreover, A Lie is on the second list, which is very good.

So, A Nian and He Gong, the son-in-law, received congratulations from their colleagues in their respective yamen. The He family knew Zhou Sanlang, the son of the Zhou Tong family, who also won the second list. Although the ranking was not as good as A Lie, they were still close. In addition, they were both in their early twenties, so they could be considered young and capable.

He Gong and A Lie were both from Jinshi, and the He family is now considered a true scholarly family.

What is even more envious is that Shen Xuan is also on the Jinshi list. So when his colleagues congratulate him, A Nian said modestly, "The younger brother of his adoptive father's family also won the second list." He Gong's words were, "The nephew is also on the list."

It made everyone wonder why this family has such a prosperous Feng Shui.

Especially, when he just got the letter of A Lie to be a Jinshi, the He family had another happy event, that is, Jun Ge'er passed the county and prefecture examination, and passed the scholar after the third examination, but he did not get the case, but he was also a good student. However, because of the great event of his brother being a Jinshi, Jun Ge'er's small student is not very conspicuous, which makes Jun Ge'er, who has always liked to show off, feels a little depressed.

Fortunately, he passed the imperial examination and his family had already agreed to him. Once he passed the imperial examination, he would allow him to travel to the imperial capital.

So, Jun Ge'er was also happy to think about traveling.

When the third girl went to the He family, she said, "On the day when we came back, we saw a big red silk tied on the city gate. We didn't go through this incident at first, and we thought, why did silk flowers tied on the city gate? I don't know if there was any happy event, but when I entered the city, I knew that it was a happy spring exam. I said that the wedding silk was tied up about ten days in advance. This year, our family has been full of happy events. Not to mention A Lie, Brother Jun is now a scholar."

Brother Jun said, "That's not the case, third sister, I am no older than my senior scholar at all."

"Have you heard that the young man is better than the young man? The next year is the year of autumn examination. If you win the first prize, then you are younger than A Lie." The third girl took a bite of tea and said with a smile.

Brother Jun said, "Yes, I have to work hard!"

Shen smiled and said, "I'm just waiting to hear good news from you."

Brother Jun has always been very confident and said, "Mom, just wait, it's definitely not bad."

Mrs. He laughed, "I'm just waiting to enjoy my brother Jun'er's blessing."

Brother Jun said, "You must ask my grandmother to enjoy great blessings."

Old Madam He smiled more and more happily.

Dabaoer asked Jun Geer, "Uncle Jun, will Uncle A Lie be back after he passed the Jinshi? When will he come back?"

Jun Ge'er said, "If you take the Jinshi exam, you will be in Hanlin as an official. However, new Jinshi have family leave, and I don't know if my elder brother will come back."

Yu Xing said, "I must have been back. Your elder brother had already agreed to come back before leaving. If you win, you will be back."

Brother Jun looked at his nephew who was crawling wildly on the kang and said, "Brother, why should he think of his sister-in-law and A Can? When he left, A Can couldn't sit there, but he saw that he could crawl now."

Yu Xing said something a little embarrassed to his brother-in-law, but the couple is harmonious and everyone in the family knows it. The husband is a young couple again, so Yu Xing is worried about it too much, especially when his husband passed the Jinshi, Yu Xing is looking forward to it, and he is simply eager to see it.

A Lie passed the Jinshi this time, Junge's son became a scholar, and the He family made a lively drink for a day.

All the relatives and friends who can come here have come. Mrs. Yao also said, "Then it will be my banquet. I will bring the post together today. I will have to go there and be lively tomorrow."

Old lady He smiled and said, "Go ahead."

The old lady of the Zhou family is now very convinced by Wenchang Bodhisattva of Taiping Temple.

The He family made this happy event, and not long ago, Yao Jie, He Han, and the Ji family brothers, Wen Xiner, sent someone to send a gift. Ji Zhen was already going to study in the imperial capital, and when he left, he also gave A Xi a large bag of things, and A Xi also gave him many gifts to his uncle Zhen.

As soon as Ji Zhen left, A Lie Zhou Sanlang and Mrs. Yao Second Master Yao Second Mrs. Yao Second Mrs. Yao No. 2. The group didn't know how to get together. When A Lie came back, the whole family was naturally happy.

Zhou Sanlang went home after a few words. Mr. Yao was familiar with the He family. Unexpectedly, he was brought by his wife. Mr. Yao smiled and said, "I have not arrived yet. Ajie's letter left the military post, but he went to the house first. When I got home, our old lady asked me what happened to Ajie's engagement. My second monk was confused. After reading his letter, he realized that Ajie had the blue eyes of General Ji and promised to be a beloved daughter. What our family would never think of is that the men were laymen in the engagement, so they came with my wife."

Mrs. Yao is also a joker who loves to talk and laugh, "I am so proud of Ajie's letter. Our old lady and uncle are very happy. They are more than ten years younger. This child is really the most promising among their brothers. When they were young, they were a smart child. Now they have this luck. Our old lady is going to come in person. But she is so old and I heard that Beichang Mansion is so cold that she dares to move, so she asked me to come and run around.

.We were going to set off, because the current academic year is in the year of the competition. After getting good news, A Lie was on the list. I said, just wait, everyone will go together, and there are many people and lively." Then there were another praising A Lie, "I am really young and promising, and I am worthy of being a scholarly family. When I saw A Lie, I loved something like something. I wanted to ask if I had a wife, but I didn't expect that, so I asked Mr. Yu to take the lead. Otherwise, I would definitely be a big media player for A Lie."

Yu Xing smiled and said, "Even if our Acan's father is not, our younger brother-in-law is also a student in the imperial examination. If there is any big media for the second wife, just tell us."

Mrs. Yao could not help but flatter the He family again, but it was not entirely flattering. Mrs. Yao felt strange, why other people's feng shui is so good, and she can pass the Jinshi at a young age. After reading the books of her master over the years, she couldn't win any of them, let alone the Jinshi, and the Juren.

Mrs. Yao said a reply and said, "This time we are here to get married to Ajie. I heard that this is still the matchmaker of your aunt. In this way, I have to ask your eldest girl to go to Beijingguan with us."

Shen smiled and said, "This is what it should be."

The second wife of Yao, Yao, came over, and the He family naturally arranged wine to wait. Since the Yao family came to take care of Yao's marriage, Shen invited He Zijin to have a drink. However, A Lie asked his elders at home, and after seeing his son, he went to Luo Daru's place first. After lunch, the Yao and his wife went to the residence hall to rest. After a while, A Lie went home from Mr. Luo, and the He family asked A Lie about the imperial capital taking the exam. A Nian smiled and said, "It's the same as A Shui on the way."

The imperial capital that my brother and the others went to was very smooth. My uncle and Yue’s family arranged a house for me. Sanlang and I lived in a villa outside my uncle’s house, which was closest to my uncle’s Jinshi Hall. There were many scholars who were very quiet in their studies, which was convenient for making friends and discussing articles. Before the exam, we lived at my uncle’s house. After the exam, we took the exam for Shujishi and then returned home."

Old lady He asked quickly, "Will Shujishi pass the exam?"

A Lie smiled and said, "The ancestors have already won the blessing, but the ranking is not good, and Shujishili is relatively low."

Mrs. He said, "What's right in front and back? If you win, it will work."

Yu Xing smiled, "That's right, it's not like your first time you got a juren, but you're one less than Sun Shan."

When A Lie thought of the first autumn examination, he couldn't help but smile, "I was even in the autumn examination, and I didn't dare to think about the spring examination in the second year. It's better not to be the best. I studied with Mr. Luo for three years and felt confident." Seeing Brother Jun at home, he smiled, "It seems that Brother Jun won the scholarship exam, is he the leader?"

Brother Jun touched the tip of his nose and said, "Third."

A Lie laughed, "Better than I did in the exam back then."

Shen asked, "How are your grandfather, grandmother, uncle and aunt?"

A Lie smiled and said, "It's all good. Brother Xuan has become a kinship with Miss Song. We will end this spring exam together. Brother Xuan has also passed the exam, but he didn't pass the exam. Now my aunt is preparing for A Jiang's marriage."

Shen clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name continuously.

He Zijin asked A Lie Shuji again when he would enter the Hanlin area. A Lie said, "I will study in the Hanlin area in early June."

Shen said, "It took one month from Beichang Prefecture to the imperial capital. After doing this, I won't be able to stay at home for much time."

A Lie asked about the day when Yao Jie got engaged again, and He Zijin said, "I have made three auspicious days there. Now that the Yao family is here, I guess it will be the auspicious day in mid-April, and you can catch up."

A Lie smiled and said, "When tomorrow I will go over with Mr. Yao and take a look at A Jie."

He Zijin said, "You go, I won't go anymore. I can't live without you here. When I'm still in the right time, I'll go there again."

Mrs. He asked her grandson again, "You are going to the imperial capital this time, and you can see the Yao family's master."

"Why didn't you see me? The Yao family knew that I had arrived in the imperial capital. The old lady of the Yao family went to see me personally and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that they didn't see Ajie's book that year. I must know that it was over early in the morning. I told the old lady of the Yao family that I had a lot of Ajie's affairs in Beijing Pass, and they were extremely happy." A Lie couldn't help but sigh, "It was really a coincidence that made the old man bear the hearts of all these years. Now Ajie has the fate of Sister Jiang, and can live a peaceful life with his husband and wife."

Yu Xing was also very moved by the Yao family affairs, "Yes."

When A Lie came back, he was a newly released Shujishi. The family was full of fun. Hu Wen Jiangren came with his wife and children that night. Especially Dabao, a child who has always been a target for Jinshi, and he admired Uncle A Lie so much. He asked Uncle A Lie about many things about the spring exams. A Lie said, "Da Bao is so studious, he doesn't look like Brother A Ren at all." Jiangren could run away from home in order not to study.

Jiang Ren smiled and said, "I say the same thing, Dabao is a bit like his uncle in studying here."

A Lie and Dabao said, "You should be careful when studying, but your body is important. Dabao is too thin. I tell you, there are actually many people who are not as talented as Jinshi, but they just fail the exam. Do you know why? The body is not good. It takes half of their life to survive for nine days in the tribute school. Such a person is hard to follow the imperial examination even if he is talented."

Dabao looked at his thin wrists and said, "Uncle Lie, I want to be fatter, but I just can't get fatter. What do you think?"

Hu Wen smiled and said, "I'll give you an idea. When you wake up in the morning, don't rush to recite the letter. You can work hard with your great-grandmother. In this way, as time goes by, your health will be better." In other words, except for the Hu family, the Jiang He family are both poor, and compared with the He family, the Jiang family is poorer. Therefore, Mrs. Jiang has a great hobby of farming. Now her grandson has a promising future and has built a big house. Old Mrs. Jiang doesn't like to visit the garden. She doesn't plant flowers and grass in the yard, so she has opened a vegetable field, planted some seasonal vegetables, and used the two rows of vegetables as treasures every day.

Dabao said, "I can't grow vegetables."

Hu Wendao, "I can't learn it. I can read such difficult books, so why are there any difficult things to grow?"
