husband and wife

Chapter 168

The villagers were taken aback for a moment, Song Juren?Quickly remembering that the other party was talking about Song Ziheng, he said again and again: "Yes, Ziheng's house is in the middle of our village, go in along the road at the entrance of the village, there are magnolia flowers planted outside the courtyard, and the house that smells very fragrant at the door is that. !" The villager said, pointing to that side, and wanted to ask what the other party was here for, but when he turned his head, he saw the dust raised by the horse's hoof, and the yamen servant patted his horse and went straight to Song's house after hearing his words.

Following the road pointed by the villagers, the yamen servant stopped the horse at the gate of a courtyard, and indeed he smelled an unknown fragrance, like the fragrance of flowers, and also like the fragrance of wine. Looking at this family, the master will enjoy it, Mo It was strange that the magistrate was so optimistic about this Song Juren, and personally told himself that he must hurry up, and the yamen servant thought so in his heart, and got off the horse.

Ma gave a long cry, and many people gathered around the door of Song's house, all of them were watching the excitement, and there were also people from neighboring villages who followed the horse all the way, pointing at the yard, not knowing what the yamen servants were doing. Well.

At this time, the Song family also heard the commotion, and the yamen servant knocked and shouted loudly: "Master Juren, the good news is here..."

At this time, only Su Wan and Song Ziheng were in charge of the Song family, and the village chief also came over. He saw that they were at home, and hurriedly called out to the stunned villagers: "You guys, go to the mountain and call Brother Song and the others!" Come down, and go to call the old sister-in-law home, I’m overjoyed!” Called Su Wan again, “Ziheng’s daughter-in-law went to get some firecrackers, let’s put them in the courtyard first, and I’ll open the ancestral hall tomorrow, let’s put some firecrackers at the entrance of the village Big one, so that everyone can know that our Song family village now has a Juren lord, who really has accumulated virtue in the ancestors!" The village chief looked happy, as if he himself had been admitted to the Juren examination, and even Song Ziheng and the entire party concerned were shocked. calmer than him.

Song Xiaomei held Grandma Song's arm and said in a trembling voice: "I passed the exam, grandma, my brother passed the exam!" Two lines of tears fell down her cheeks, weeping with joy, she felt the most this year, ordinary people , No power or power, anyone can count on them.Now it's all right, the third brother passed the Juren examination, and it really is the blessing of the ancestors.

Grandma Song's hands were trembling with excitement, and she couldn't say a word. Su Wan had already found a firecracker from the house as she said, and some melon and fruit snacks for the villagers who came to see the excitement. These were prepared, and she I went to the house to get some copper coins, didn't count how much, and handed them all to the yamen servant. Or they are simply poor and stingy, and don't give much money. The wife of this Juren family is knowledgeable and interesting. The yamen put it away, and said some compliments, and reported Song Ziheng's ranking this time, and reminded him intimately He quickly changed into his clothes and went to the county, the county magistrate wanted to see him in person, and sent these people to the province to attend the Luming Festival tomorrow morning.

Song Ziheng asked: "The magistrate's kindness is as great as a mountain, but how can He De, a grassroots man, be summoned by the magistrate himself?"

The yamen servant's face was full of smiles: "Master Juren doesn't know, the best result of our Jiangzhou city is the twelfth place in the township examination, and now the master Juren is ranked in the top five in the provincial government, not only from our county, but also in the top ten. The youngest juren in the town, the county magistrate has always loved scholars the most, and I am overjoyed to hear the news, and I want to meet the master juren in person." Not only is he overjoyed, this year the yamen servants they were sent to run errands all got the magistrate's dissatisfaction. The small reward shows how excited he is.

When Father Song and the others came back, Su Wan was already packing up her things. The yamen servant was rewarded and should have reported back to the yamen, but he had to take Song Ziheng with him to the county to report to the county magistrate. On the way, I thought that I couldn’t spend money, but I still had to prepare the things that should be prepared.

Therefore, Father Song and his party went back to the tightly surrounded yard, and when they entered, there was a tall and burly yamen servant sitting inside, with a horse beside him. My God, the person who reported the letter didn't figure out what was going on, he shouted joy all the way, and he had to pull him back. He couldn't ask what the happy event was, and he didn't dare to think about Qiu Wei's side. Seeing him, and listening to the surrounding villagers congratulating him non-stop, saying "he will be the father of Juren in the future", what else is unclear?Father Song pinched his thigh anxiously. It was real, not a dream. He immediately laughed and said, "My son has passed the exam! The ancestors have manifested their spirits, my son has passed the exam!"

Qiuwei is not at the same level as the examination for scholarly talents. The test for scholarly talents is okay. You are a scholar with no use. Of course, it is extremely difficult to go further in the exam. However, with the fame of Juren, not only is his family exempt from paying taxes, but he can also collect a lot of tax-avoiding land. Just living on rent, his family can live happily without working. Well, this is one step to reach the sky. From then on, you don't have to bow your head and kneel down when you see officials and lords, and you are no longer ordinary people.
