"Congratulations to the old lady, congratulations to the old man and his wife, you won, you won, our second young master won the top 43!"
The boy who came to report almost stumbled in. Everyone in the room was stunned. Xie Li was the first to react, "I'm so happy!"
At this time, the people in Shou'antang slowly came to their senses. Mrs. Qi left her chair excitedly and quickly came over to hold the old lady's hand, "Mom, I've been hit!"
The old lady also smiled happily, clapped her hand and stood up, "I heard it, I heard it!"
Then he walked a few steps forward and said loudly: "Send the order, and everyone will be rewarded!"
An said quickly: "Go and hang up the firecrackers quickly, and go to the gate to wait for the messenger!"
Mrs. Qi also nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, it's such a happy event..."
"Wait!"
Everyone was rejoicing. When they heard what the old lady said, they couldn't help but look over in surprise. They saw that she still had a smile on her face, but she was not as ecstatic as the others. She had a bit more restraint. "Although Gong Shi
You won't lose the election, but if you haven't passed the palace examination, you won't be considered a Jinshi after all.
In other people's homes, it would indeed be a great joy to receive a tribute, but in our family it would be a bit arrogant to be so excited."
The smile on Mrs. Qi's face froze, and Xie Wenyuan on the side said quickly: "Anyway, it only takes more than half a month. When the decree comes down to confer Jinshi birth status, we can just celebrate it lively. For now, it's still
Let Brother Lang prepare for the exam with peace of mind."
Hearing what she said, Mrs. Qi felt a little better. Suddenly she remembered and asked, "Where is Brother Qian? How is it?"
The look on the boy's face couldn't help but hesitant, and he hesitated: "I had to tell you to look for the second young master's name on the list. I didn't notice the cousin."
"Nonsense! After reading the cheating list, is it possible that you don't recognize Master Ciao's name?"
However, Xie Wenyuan grabbed An's sleeve and said with a smile: "He failed in this subject, and I was mentally prepared. In the past, at home, I didn't know how great the world was. If he passed the provincial examination, everyone in the room would regard him as a
Like a living treasure.
Now that I have returned to the capital, I know that there is someone outside the world. My eldest brother also said that it is not easy to pass this subject. I should take him to the capital to sharpen his temper. If he fails, he will be able to study in the Shensi Museum for a few years.
.”
The people present were not fools. When the boy said he didn't see it, did he really not pay attention? He was just saying it in a subtle way.
Mrs. Qi was also a little embarrassed, but fortunately Xie Wenyuan's reaction was very appropriate.
Xie Wenyuan felt her arm being held by someone, and turned around to see Xie Songhua. The aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled, and the specific words were contained in this smile.
Soon the large army announcing the good news came back, and Xie Langhua finally came out of his house. He first came to pay homage to the old lady, Mrs. Qi, and then paid homage to Xie Changqing alone.
An family was originally happy that a Jinshi was going to be born in the family, but when she saw Xie Langhua paying homage to Xie Changqing, she felt indignant again.
You can teach other people’s sons well, but why don’t you think carefully about how to teach your own son?
Looking at Xie Wenhua who was still having fun over there, I felt even more choked up in my heart.
Xie Yuncang maintained his identity and was urged several times by his colleagues before returning home.
The old lady decided to hold a family banquet in Shouan Hall tonight.
Although Lin Ruoqian was a little frustrated, his upbringing made him attend the event calmly. Even Xie Qionghua left the house, but he didn't look very good-looking.
"Who is the leader? I heard something vaguely today, but then I forgot about it and forgot to ask."
Xie Feiwu immediately said: "It's that Chen Liu who came to our house. Didn't he say he was a fellow countryman from Si Yatou's place in the past?"
Xie Songhua was shocked, Chen Liu actually won the title?!
Wouldn't it be very likely that he would be in the top three?
Mrs. Qi was also surprised. She looked at Xie Songhua and then at Xie Feiwu, "Is he that poor candidate from the countryside?"
Xie Yuncang frowned and said: "A hero should never ask about his origin. This Chen Liu
I have met him, and Mr. Fang introduced him to me last time. I talked to him for a few words, and he does have some insights. He is a rare talent among young people. I am quite optimistic about him."
After hearing this, the old lady nodded and said: "Mr. Fang thinks that a good young man must be good. But for such a person, I am afraid that many people in Beijing will have their thoughts. Don't come here to catch your son-in-law. Then
It’s so lively.”
As soon as these words came out, several young girls present blushed a little, but their eyes couldn't help but look at the faces of Xie Songhua and Xie Shuhua.
Xie Songhua just ate the whitebait and hibiscus eggs from the bowl as usual, as if he didn't hear these words at all, but Xie Shuhua involuntarily clenched the chopsticks in her hands.
Xie Sihua quickly asked: "How did the senior brothers in Shensi Hall do in the exam?"
Mentioning this, Xie Yuncang raised his wine glass towards Xie Changqing, "Congratulations, brother, there are three more Jinshis coming out of Shensi Hall."
There are actually two people in Shensi Hall who have passed the exam!
Everyone's surprise was beyond words, and for the Xie family, this was a real benefit.
When these young scholars enter the court, they are the next generation of the court, and those who can take classes in the Shensi Hall will have good family backgrounds.
The family background is not bad, and he was born as a Jinshi, so what is his future future, needless to say?
In any case, the Xie family's Shen Si Pavilion is really well run.
With such good news, even the old lady couldn't help but drink two more cups of wine. No one dared to disturb her, so they left early.
Xie Songhua returned to the Spring Festival Terrace, sent everyone else off, and began to pick up things.
"What are you looking for?"
She forgot that she had a strategist while she was busy, so she spread her hands and pointed at the things on the table, "Tell me, which of these things is suitable to send out to congratulate someone for high school?"
In fact, what she picked out were all pens, inks, papers and inkstones, which were all suitable in theory, but at this moment she had no idea and couldn't decide the importance of the gifts.
Yu Ruzhuo took a while before speaking, "You...don't want to give this to your second brother, right?"
Xie Songhua smiled and said: "Second brother, I have to discuss it with a few other people. It won't be good if it's too heavy."
As she spoke, she pointed to the pile of things on the table, "I just wanted to pick something to give to Chen Liu, so I just decided on the importance of it."
After saying that, she suddenly came to her senses, "Look at me, I think you know everything. You are from an aristocratic family, and you probably don't have any friends like him. If I ask you, you probably don't know. Otherwise, I'd better go and ask."
Second brother is fine."
"I advise you not to give it away."
Xie Songhua was putting things back one by one when he suddenly heard Yu Ruzhuo's voice.
"Ah? Why?"
She didn't react for a moment and couldn't help but be surprised. Unexpectedly, Yu Ruzhuo just said lightly, "Think about it yourself!"
Xie Songhua stood there and thought about it, but still had no clue.
However, Yu Ruzhuo is a very resourceful person. If he says it is inappropriate, it probably means it is really inappropriate!
Yes! That’s good for saving money.
Because Xie Langhua passed the exam, the entire Xie family was happy.
Ms. Qi almost kept her mouth closed. When everyone left, she couldn't help but pull her son to talk about herself.
"Oh! Mom, the most important thing in my life is you, brother and sister. Now that you have passed the exam, I am half relieved."
Xie Langhua looked at the traces of time on his mother's face and was a little moved, "Mom, don't worry, my son will definitely be filial to you in the future."
"You are a good boy. Mom has never doubted this. But what I want to say is that when you are awarded the title after the imperial examination, you must not forget your sister!"

Hello friends who are reading this book, Xiaohan would like to apologize to everyone, because he had an operation a few days ago, and his pre-operative prediction of the operation was insufficient, which led to a three-day interruption.

I was informed in advance because I thought I would be able to code on the computer the day after the operation. It turned out that I was too naive and made everyone wait, which really made me feel guilty.
I am still in the recovery period after the surgery. I will try my best to update it, but it may not be very stable, which may cause inconvenience. Please forgive me.
