Lin Yanchao, Hou Zhongshu and the others had no intention of staying here. The three of them ran towards the society and rushed to the school with their feet.

After entering the village, I had not yet arrived at the entrance of the social school, but I saw that it was decorated with lights and many people in the village gathered.

When the villagers saw Lin Yanchao and the others, someone shouted from afar: "Several proud disciples of Xiucai are back."

The three of them were very happy to hear this. The villagers immediately made a move.

Zhang Haoyuan and others strode into the gate with a proud expression. But when they saw that the newspaper had been hung up in front of the lecture hall, the newspaper was written on it, "Lin Chengyi, the master of the Jiebao Mansion, and the Admiral Meng, learned Daohu in Fujian. They were the first scholar in the Fujian County annual examination in the first year of Wanli, and the provincial examination was connected.'

"Really, it's true!" Zhang Haoyuan burst into laughter.

Hou Zhongshu also said: "That's great, my teacher is the head of the college entrance examination!"

Lin Yanchao was infected by the festive atmosphere and didn't feel that he was filled with tears.

"Where is sir?" Zhang Haoyuan couldn't help asking.

In the hall, Mr. Zhang and Lin Chengyi's mother were talking to the reporter and the old master. When he saw his son coming, he suddenly laughed and stood up and said to Zhang Haoyuan: "Why are you so late? You are still covered in black mud?"

Zhang Haoyuan replied: "When I see someone falling into the water, I will all go into the water to save me, and I am already rescued me." Zhang Haoyuan gently exposed the incident of them going down the river to touch clams.

Mr. Zhang was overjoyed after hearing this, and said, "Good job."

The old master also said to Mr. Zhang, "Mr. Lin is so enthusiastic."

The reporter asked, "Yes, after talking for so long, I don't know where Mr. Lin is, so we can congratulate him in person."

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, I don't live here now, but he has sent me a message. After going to Master Tie Xue's hairpin banquet, he will go back to his hometown and come in a few days. Don't worry, you will be sure that you will be able to live without yours." The reporter was slightly disappointed when he could not hear Lin Chengyi, but he was relieved to have the money he wanted to get.

While he was talking, Zhang Songming, who was standing beside him, ran with a big red post and said, "Jun Xie from the village, is here to pay a greeting to the gentleman."

Mr. Zhang and Zhang Xiang both stood up. Lin Chengyi's mother heard that a juren had come, and she supported herself up regardless of her old-fashioned body. The person who reported to the reporter was even more afraid to sit on the table.

Mr. Zhang smiled and said, "This master is not here yet."

"Okay, just get close to you." Zhang Xiang smiled faintly, but his face was bright.

Soon a sedan chair arrived at the gate of the sociology school. The curtain of the sedan chair was lifted and a middle-aged man wearing a black veil and a round-necked gown walked out of the sedan chair.

The middle-aged man was very rich, with a rosy and shiny face, and he looked noble. Lin Yanchao also knew what a poor scholar was. When he reached the level of a juren, he had already said that he was completely poor. He had already been to the point of being poor. He had already been waiting for Lin Chengyi to be a scholar, so he would not have visited him personally, but the other party was the head of the supervisor. How could he be an ordinary scholar?

The villagers retreated aside and bowed, "Thank you, Master!"

Faced with the attentiveness of the villagers, Xie Juren just nodded, and Zhang Xiang and General Zhang went out together. Zhang Xiang and General Zhang Jia gave a gift. Xie Juren returned a gift to Zhang Xiang, while General Zhang Jia gave a gift to him half.

Zhang Xiang said: "Mr. Xie is so glorious that he can visit the society. Unfortunately, he is not here, only the old lady is in the hall!"

Xie Juren smiled and said, "It's okay, it's good to pay a visit to the old lady."

As he said that, Juren Xie stepped forward to worship the old lady. The old lady hurriedly avoided herself and said she didn't dare.

Juren Xie said to Zhang Xiang: "Since Mr. Lin is not here, I will come to visit you again next day."

Zhang Xiang and Mr. Xie said, "How dare you? Mr. Lin will come to visit him in person in the future."

Xie Juren smiled and said, "Okay, Mr. Lin has just entered school and must not be relaxed. He is in his hometown and has a twenty-two ounces of congratulations to express his feelings."

As he said that, the servant presented a silver letter.

Twenty taels of silver! The villagers all took a breath.

Zhang Xiang and Mr. Xie were smiling and accepting Lin Chengyi. The villagers saw the snowflakes and silver eyes that were about to glar. How great would it be if the silver was his own.

The story of Lin Chengyi's scholarship was rumored in Hongtang Township. The school tutor was the first to be the case, which was enough for the women in the village to say for three days and three nights.

After being stimulated by twenty taels of silver, all the social students suffered. When they returned home, they were told by their families, such as studying hard, which made their ears grow calluses.

After a few days, Lin Chengyi finally returned to Hongtang Township. The village suddenly became lively.

People from neighbors who know Lin Chengyi on weekdays are all here.

There was a long queue in front of the Hongtang Society, and everyone was busy giving gifts. Some students at home offered white money and silver cakes. No students studied in the society, but they also took eggs, white wine, rice and flour, and dried goods.

For Hongtang Township, it has been a long time since there was a scholar. In the eyes of the people, scholars are high above the people. When encountering disputes in the local area, they have to deal with officials. Generally, when civilians encounter marriage and funerals, or during the New Year and Festival, they also ask scholars from the village to help write couplets and sacrifices.

These are the people who want to trouble the scholars. Now that they have formed such friendship, they will definitely be useful in the future. Therefore, the villagers are also smart and come to establish relationships early. After Lin Chengyi was a scholar, they were also refreshed when they were happy, and they were less reserved and dull, and they became much more open-minded and chatted with the villagers who were congratulating.

Lin Chengyi has accepted so many favors and decided to hold a banquet to thank all the villagers.

So the countryside banquet was set up in the ancestral hall, a shed was set up, and a stove was built. The village invited the most famous chefs in the village.

This rural banquet is far less particular than Hu Ti learned, but the country people pay attention to the five big and three thick ones. Whether the banquet is fine or not is secondary, mainly because there are many bowls and you must eat enough. According to the rules of the Fujian local feast, there must be leftovers after eating, and the villagers pack it home. This is called making wine bags.

The wine bag is distributed to the family and bring joy to the children at home. This makes the host's way of treating guests. If there is no food left, others will say that the host is stingy.

Lin Yanchao and his group of disciples also invited them to the table.

Steamed shrimps, steamed crabs, stewed clams with old wine, and dishes are served on the table.

The banquet was like a flowing table, eating one by one, and the school children didn't care about the friendship between classmates, but when they saw Lin Chengyi glanced over at the chairman, they had to calm down.

However, the school children still didn't pay much attention to it. After a while, they became slutty. Hou Zhongshu broke open the crab legs and started to chew. Lin Yanchao slowly took a plate of shredded ginger vinegar, pulled the shrimp skin, picked off the shrimp thread, and dipped it in vinegar to eat it slowly.

This is the original pollution-free river shrimp. It is not fishy when eaten in the mouth, but it is very sweet. The bamboo-colored clams are stewed with old wine and are full of fresh flavor. The school children are all relaxed.

Lin Chengyi took a look and couldn't say anything else.

The chairman went to Zhang Xiang and smiled and said to Lin Chengyi: "After the husband became a scholar, if he lived in the social school with his mother again, it would be inconvenient and indecent. I decided to go to the east end of the village and had already cleaned up a two-entry residence for the husband and his son. The husband could not only study and prepare for the provincial examination in two years, but also occasionally go to the social school to give some advice on what the school children said."

Lin Yanchao nodded after hearing this, thinking that this was really great. With Lin Chengyi, the first in the college entrance examination, he would be his own master and his own county examination, and he would have a greater grasp of the government examination.

After hearing this, Lin Chengyi stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for your kindness. The people in the clan have made arrangements. My mother and I are planning to move back to our hometown soon."

Everyone was disappointed when they heard this.

Zhang Xiang asked with a dry laugh: "I don't want the teacher to have this arrangement. I have been with him for so long, but I don't know where his husband is. How dare I ask where his hometown?"

"Originally, I was in Lianpu Village, Kaihuali, Dongxiang, Chongshan."

"Chongshan Dongxiang, isn't that in the city gate? What's wrong?" said a man, but saw the surprised expression on his face.

When Lin Chengyi heard what he said, the people who knew the knowledge on the stage put down their chopsticks.

Lin Yanchao also put down his chopsticks on the side. Although he didn't know the situation, he could see the expressions of others. Hou Zhongshu still knew nothing and was holding half of the crab in his hand.

Zhang Xiang asked in surprise: "It's Lianpu. So, is the sir of Lianpu Lin's family also?"

Seeing that the villagers showed such a look, Lin Chengyi hurriedly said, "Don't misunderstand me, I'm just a side branch of Donglin. There are more than a thousand children like me in the clan, which is insignificant. However, after taking the scholar, the clan's clan's elders heard, he allocated twenty acres of tribe land to me, asked me to return to my old house, and told me a marriage, so I felt ashamed of General A's kindness."

"It's okay! It's okay!"

Mr. Zhang and the elders of the Zhang family shook their heads together. The elders said, "I don't know that the gentleman comes from Lianpu Lin family, which really makes me ashamed. We are lucky enough to invite the children of the family of the official family to come here to teach."

"Shame, ashamed."

Hou Zhongshu listened aside and asked Lin Yanchao: "What is the origin of the Lin family in Lianpu? Why do Zhang Haoyuan's father and others respect him so much?"
