Chapter 126
The patriarch has been preparing for the ancestor worship these few days, and is also anxiously waiting for the news from the capital. They will come back later.

Half a month later, a letter came from the capital, and Wen Wenyang ran all the way with the letter and shouted away.

"Grandpa, I won. All three of them are in high school. Brother Gangzi won the second place. Brother Gengzi is Tanhualang. Brother Shanzi also won. Grandpa!"

Wenwen's sharp and excited voice instantly broke the tranquility of the village, as if stones were thrown into a calm lake, and the whole Wangjia Village was blown up.

The doors of many houses were opened, "Wenwen, what are you talking about?"

Wenwen smiled and shed tears, "All three are in high school, and they all won."

"Oh my God!"

The aunts stared in disbelief.

The patriarch also stumbled out, his voice trembling, "What did you say?"

"Grandpa, my third uncle has received a letter, and all three brothers have won. Brother Gangzi is the second place, brother Gengzi is Tanhualang, and my brother Shanzi has also won the No. 5 Jinshi."

Wenwen hurried forward and handed the letter to him.

The old man took it with trembling hands to see for himself, and the clansmen also put down their work, silently gathered around, and waited for the old man quietly.

After reading the letter, the patriarch laughed loudly, "I got it, I got it, my ancestors bless you, I got it."

Laughing and laughing, they covered their faces and cried again. They had waited too long for this day.

Many older clansmen couldn't help but shed tears. It is very difficult to support a number one scholar, and it is even more difficult to support many scholars.

They have experienced poverty, ridicule, contempt, bullying, floods and epidemics, and their hard work has finally ushered in the take-off.

Even Wen Min, who has always been cold, couldn't help but burst into tears, not even her father who was the number one scholar had ever cried.

At this moment, some people were crying, some were praying to their ancestors with folded hands, and some were laughing. It was really mixed feelings.

Grandma Yu stood at the back. She was old and moved slowly, so she couldn't get in front of the crowd.

He was a little hard-eared, so he yelled, "Patriarch, do you have a letter from my Gengzi?"

Zhou Hui and Wen Wen hurriedly squeezed out from the crowd, supported the old man, and spoke with smiles.

"Grandma, Brother Gengzi has won, Tanhualang."

"Tanhualang, is that good or bad? Isn't it the champion?"

Grandma Yu doesn't know much about Chinese characters, she only remembers that the No. [-] scholar is the best, and doesn't remember anything else.

"It's as good as the champion, but it's even more rare to find a flower. It's the same as the champion, and the emperor chooses it. My Brother Gengzi is very powerful."

Wenwen smiled and explained to Grandma Yu.

Grandma Yu couldn't believe it and raised her eyes to look at the patriarch.

The patriarch nodded with a smile, "Old sister-in-law, Gengzi is a good guy. He won, and all three children won."

He took a deep breath, as if he was really elated at this moment.

Grandma Yu showed a smile, "That's great, Wangjiacun will get better and better. Gengzi said that he wants to stand out, and he can't live up to the big guy's love for our grandparents."

"Auntie, Geng Zi is good, and the children are all good."

The whole village was excited.

All three of them won, and their rankings were even better than they thought.

This means that the Wang family village has really risen, and it can be called a big family. Even the officials in the capital can't underestimate the Wang family.

Even big families don't have so many No. [-] scholars and Jinshi, and this power is beginning to show its power.

"Old and young masters, we are going to get busy, prepare for ancestor worship, and wait for the children to come back and worship ancestors."

"Yes."

The faces of the whole village were filled with smiles and joy.

After half a month, the third uncle came back with the three children, and the patriarch asked the eldest son to pick them up. He calculated the date and went to the pier to wait a few days in advance until he received them.

After returning to the village, the three of them knelt in front of the patriarch and elders.

"Fortunately, the grandson did not disgrace his life, and did not disgrace his ancestors. We are back."

Grandma Yu couldn't help crying when she saw her grandson kneeling in front of her eyes.

"My wife, my son, I'm sorry for both of you. Huh, huh!"

This poor widowed old man howled loudly, venting his grievance and excitement in his heart.

Yu Geng knelt on the ground with his head down, tears fell one by one on the blue bricks, blurred the patterns, after ten years of hard study, hard work, and hard work, he finally did it.

"Brother, get up quickly, grandma is getting old, don't cry and break your body."

"Yes, get up, you are all good boys."

The patriarch wiped his tears and quickly helped the children up.

The next step is to worship the ancestors, worshiping the ancestors together, offering incense to relatives and so on.

At the same time, the patriarch also gave a reward. Yu Geng's family was relatively difficult and did not have much money, so that he would not have to worry about the future.

Reward a house in the capital, a courtyard with three entrances, which was added by the third uncle continuously. It was also a decision after discussion between Wang Yi and the patriarch, so that promising children and grandchildren would not have to worry about money.

At the same time, the three of them were also rewarded with [-] mu of land in Baihe, Tongzhou, the capital city. The three of them pooled a farm, and the rest of the land belonged to the clan.

In this way, they will be freed from worries if they stay in the capital as officials.

Brother Gangzi and another brother also have a reward for a house. Although it is a bit small and the second yard, it is more convenient in the capital city anyway.

The three of them brought back the notes and books they had collected and transcribed while studying, as well as their feelings about studying in the capital and the changes in the capital.

He said that it is not easy to be an official in the capital, and one day his head may fall to the ground, so the brothers of ethnology must study hard and don't take chances.

In addition, the four people who went after Daniu and Gengzi live together temporarily, because there are too few houses, and it is difficult to buy suitable ones, so they can only live together. Fortunately, it doesn't matter if they are not married.

The patriarch gave some suggestions for the three of them to stay in the capital as officials and many other issues.

Half a month later, the three returned to the capital by boat, while Yu Geng and Gangzi stayed in the Imperial Academy.

In addition, Shanzi stayed in the Ministry of Industry to practice, and the treatment and position given by the three were really good.

The third uncle has also left, and there are still a lot of things to do in the capital.

As for the marriage of the three, the patriarch and the third uncle wanted to find a suitable Yue family from the capital.

Gengzi and others returned to the capital with the orders of the clan and many special products.

A month later, a letter came from the capital, and Yu Geng was engaged. When he left, he took his grandmother to the capital. At first, Grandma Yu didn't want to go, but she agreed to live for a while because of the engagement of the child, saying that she still wanted to go back to the village. .

Yu Geng appointed the eldest daughter of the Zuo family, and the Zuo family was one of the elders of the cabinet.

Zuo Yu, the granddaughter of Right Minister Zuo Li.

When Yu Geng was still Juren, many people in the capital had inquired about him, and they all found Wang Yi.

Wang Yi is so shrewd, he only said that Yu Geng's parents died early and there was only one grandma, and his marriage needs to be decided by the patriarch, and it must be named on the gold list.

Mrs. Zuo's family has long taken a fancy to him, and has been in contact with Li Hui many times.

Just waiting for Yu Geng's title on the Gold List to get engaged.

And the remaining Gangzi and Brother Shanzi also talked about their good marriage. They are both daughters of noble families. Their official positions are not as high as the Zuo family's, but they are also third-rank officials.
