"Wang Shengwei, they live in the Song family at the end of the village now. Just walk along this road until you see the largest house."
The villagers enthusiastically gave directions.
The yamen servant who brought the good news thanked him and hurried to Song's house.
The villagers thought for a while and followed them together. Those who could give good news should have good grades. They didn't know where Wang Sheng ranked in the exam.
Although the official messengers who announced the good news did not come beating gongs and drums, they all wore red sashes to show their happiness, which alarmed many people when they passed through the center of the village.
Li Zheng was also disturbed by this movement. When he saw that it was an official who was announcing the good news, he quickly took out a few coins from his body and stuffed them into it.
"Thank you for your hard work, officials. Are you here to announce the good news to Wang Shengwei?"
The official officer held a few coins in his hand, and he was actually very happy. After all, if you go to the countryside to announce good news, you usually don't get much money. Now, it's a bit surprising that you got the money before you even arrived at the master's house.
.
"It's just to bring good news to Wang Shengwei. It seems that your Beiguan Village didn't take the exam. We also went to Wang Village before, but the people in Wang Village said they live here now."
Lin Maofeng felt a little ashamed when he heard what he said, "I really can't say it. I am Li Zheng of Beiguan Village. There are some school-age children in the village, but they have to be sent to the school in the town. Firstly, I feel uneasy. Secondly,
There’s no time either.”
Now the people in their village are very busy every day, and there is no one who can make a special trip to send their children to and from school.
"That's true. Since you are Li Zheng, then you can come with us."
When the official heard Lin Maofeng's words, there was no sarcasm or contempt. This is the most realistic problem. The most important thing for rural people now is to fill their stomachs. Who will send their children to school if they don't have anything to eat?
That’s a lot.
Basically no family in a village can have so much money to send their children to school.
It's just that what Satoshi said here is a bit strange, careless and out of time?
I guess it’s because I’m too proud to say that I don’t have any money.
"Okay, I'll lead the way for you."
Lin Maofeng was leading the way for the official who announced the good news, and the group soon arrived outside Song Chen's house.
"This is where Wang Shengwei lives now." Lin Maofeng pointed at Song Chen's house and introduced.
When the officials who announced the good news saw the big house of Song Chen's family, their eyes widened, and they quickly exchanged glances.
There seems to be only two words in each other's eyes at this moment: It's done!
It's no wonder that a rural family can build such a big house. It's no wonder that Wang Shengwei can do so well in the exam. It's good that there is no shortage of money.
However, several officials quickly thought of another problem. This Wang Shanwei is from Wangcun, and now lives in the Song family of Beiguan Village...
"Is this Wang Shengwei married into a wife?"
It would be a real pity if he married into a wife. With his talent and learning, he would definitely have a bright future. After marrying into the child, everything would belong to someone else.
Lin Maofeng was slightly startled when he heard the word "brother-in-law", and then laughed loudly, "The official misunderstood, this Wang Shengwei is not a married-in-law, this is his sister's home."
The official who announced the good news said in understanding.
It wouldn't be a bad thing if he didn't marry into the family, otherwise it would be a real pity.
"Then I'll knock on the door." After Lin Maofeng finished speaking, he stepped forward and knocked on the door of Song Chen's house. As soon as the door was opened, the gongs and drums of official officials rang.
The concierge hurried inside without asking any questions.
Song Chen and the others in the house also heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, "Qinglei, what are you doing? Is there any happy event in our village?"
Qing Lei covered her lips and said, "My good girl, this is not a happy event for our village, but a happy event for our family. If I guess correctly, this is an official from the government who came to announce the good news."
Song Chen was slightly startled, the government announced the good news?
"You mean my uncle's test results are out?"
Qing Lei nodded, "It should be about this time."
"Well, then go quickly. My parents, grandparents, uncle and wife, they all called out." Song Chen was overjoyed.
Qing Lei smiled and hurried over to call for someone. Song Chen also turned around and entered his room first. He took out a few pieces of red paper from the drawer and made several packages as quickly as possible.
She knew that when others came to announce the good news, they had to give money to them. She didn't know how many people had come yet, so she prepared a few more.
One bag contained a full tael of silver.
Others were very happy when they heard the news. Song Wang and Song Chen did the same thing. They immediately took out the red paper and wrapped a few red envelopes.
Grandpa and grandma are no exception. After all, he is their son, so they should prepare the money for the wedding.
The only person who is awake is Li Wenyan. No, his name should be Li Yan now.
He knew that the Song family would prepare these things.
The entrance of Song's house was already crowded with villagers, some of whom came out of the workshops to watch the excitement. But when Song He heard that he was delivering good news to his uncle, he simply asked everyone to rest for a while and came out to watch.
Song Chen and the others walked out of the house, with Wang Shengwei walking at the front.
When Song Chen saw the villagers watching outside, he lowered his head and told Qing Lei, "There is a small box in my room, bring it over."
There were some copper plates inside, which she threw in scattered pieces when she usually had them on her. There was almost half of the box, which should be enough.
"Uncle Xiaochen, these officials are here to tell you the good news." Lin Maofeng looked even more excited than Wang Shengwei, who was at that time.
Wang Shengwei just politely gave a scholarly salute to several officials, "I have a favor to pay you, and I am Wang Shenwei."
Several officials took a look at Wang Shengwei. He was dignified and polite, and he was indeed what a scholar should be.
"Congratulations, what a great joy. Wang Shanwei is the first case in the county in this county examination."
As soon as the officer finished his words, everyone present became excited.
"The county chief, I, I heard you right, it's really the county chief." Lin Maofeng couldn't believe his ears.
Wang Shanwei is not the kind of student who has studied hard for many years. From the time Song Chen and their new house was completed last year to now, Wang Shanwei has only been studying for a few months. Others have not even learned the words in a few months, but he actually
I already dare to take the exam.
The key is that this exam is not counted, he also directly took the county case chief exam and came back!
What does it mean to be the head of the county case? The meaning of being the head of the county case is that as long as Wang Shengwei has no major accidents in the future, he does not need to go all the way to the college examination.
You can go directly to take the scholar examination!
"He is indeed the first case in the county and first place in this county examination. Congratulations again."
Song Chen was also slightly surprised. She originally thought that she could pass and obtain the identity of Tong Sheng, but she never expected that he would win the first place in one fell swoop!
"Thank you for your hard work, brother officials. Thank you for your hard work."
Song Chen stepped forward and distributed the red envelopes he had prepared to three official servants respectively. Two official servants came in total.
One holds the good news, one holds the gong, and one holds the drum.
Song Chen generously gave each of them a red envelope.
The three of them looked at the red envelope in their hands. Although it didn't look big, they knew it was a piece of silver when they pinched it slightly.
One or two won't get away.
When they were in the county government before, they were arguing over where to send the good news from the Song Dynasty. They all wanted to deliver the good news from the city, and everyone wanted to come to Beiguan Village.
The three of them have always been honest, so this task fell on them, but they didn't expect that they would be the ones who took advantage in the end.
Although they work as yamen errands, they only have a name. They earn a few hundred cash per month, and they really live by relying on other people's money to do things.
This tael of silver was definitely beyond their expectations.
What they didn't expect was that this was only part of it.
Seeing Song Chen step forward to give away the money, Song Wang also gave her own share, "Thank you for your hard work, brother, let's get some wine."
Another red envelope was placed in the hands of several people.
On a normal day, this kind of money would definitely be given secretly, but that's how it is when giving good news, and all money should be taken openly.
This red envelope is similar to the previous one, it should be about one tael of silver.
This rich family is really different. They give out happy money in batches. When they go back, they will definitely be jealous of them.
The three people here put red envelopes on themselves with smiles and were about to hand the good news to Wang Shengwei when Wang Kuitu came over again.
"It's a big thank you to the policemen for making a trip for my son."
After saying that, the three people had another red envelope in their hands. This red envelope was larger than the previous two red envelopes. It was filled with copper plates, but it was also heavy. Two coins could not escape.
This trip was really unexpected. I received money four times.
They also almost figured out the identities of the people who gave the money. The first person to give the money was Wang Shengwei's niece, the daughter of this family, the next one was Wang Shenwei's sister, and the last one was
Wang Shengwei's father.
It is rare for such a wealthy family to be so reasonable and reasonable. Looking at Wang Shengwei, he is not arrogant or arrogant even though he knows that he has achieved the title of county chief. Such a person must be
A person who has made great achievements.
The attitudes of several officials couldn't help but become more respectful.
"Please accept the good news."
Wang Sheng slightly bent over and stretched out his hands, "Receive the report."
The moment the good news was handed over to Wang Shengwei, the delivery of the good news was completed. The three officials congratulated again and left with satisfaction.
Wang Shengwei opened the good news, which was all made of red paper.
The first one is written about their ranking in the county examination, and the other one is written about Wang Shengwei County's honor as the head of the case.
After confirming the content of the good news, Wang Shanwei still put his hands in front of Li Yan.
Li Yan received the good news with a smile on his face.
When Wang Shanwei saw him taking it, he immediately knelt down in front of Li Yan and kowtowed respectfully.
