Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 196 Annunciation
"After the first reading, the papers were recommended by the examiners, and finally the chief examiner reviewed them. Among them, there were no less than three officials. How could it be possible to make a decision based on the preference of the chief examiner alone? Such absurd remarks will not be discussed in the future."

The second old master scolded in a deep voice, this Shen Ming is the son of a concubine, so it can be seen that his education is still a bit poor.

After all, he is old, and he has eaten more salt than Su Yichu has eaten rice.

If this remark spreads, outsiders will say that Su Wenqing was selected because he catered to the preferences of the chief examiner, and because of luck, this will not only offend the officials who graded the papers, but also implicate the Su family, and even lead to the disaster of killing and exterminating the family.

The imperial examination is not a trifling matter, the emperor attaches great importance to the imperial examination to become an official, isn't this touching Nilin?
Su Yi first saw the second old man's serious face, looking at him with displeasure in his eyes, and then remembered that he had made a slip of the tongue.

"It's my nephew and grandson who spoke lies. I hope you elders don't blame me. In the future, I will be cautious in my words and deeds. The teachings of my second uncle will always be remembered by my nephew and grandson."

Su Yichu's acknowledgment of his mistake made everyone's faces soften, and the second old man saw that he was interested, so he stopped mentioning this matter.

But there is still one person who needs to be warned, the second old man is afraid that this bastard will speak out loud at some point and say something outrageous.

"Cheng Yuan! Do you remember what the old man said just now? Remember! Even in front of your own family, don't speak nonsense. If you don't remember it, you may cause disaster in the future."

Su Wenqing nodded again and again, she would not dare to say that after she said it.

"Since you are a Juren, you must take part in next year's examination, otherwise you will violate the imperial decree, and you will be treasonous."

The second old man's words are not alarmist. After winning the Juren, he must take part in the examination in the coming year.Unless there is a mourning at home or a serious illness in bed, you must not be absent.

"Don't be foolish, this test is actually not difficult compared to the provincial test. You should put more effort into your studies, and then discuss whether you will be an official or not after you are admitted to Jinshi!"

The second old man felt that Su Wenqing still had some talent and was willing to coax a little bit, so he persuaded him with kind words.

"That's right! In fact, it's better to be an official! If you don't want your father to be too strict with you, then find a job outside!"

The third old master also persuaded him, in fact, he was envious in his heart!If his eldest son can also be elected, why not throw a feast for a few days to celebrate?

"Hey~" The second old man waved his hands again and again, "It's fine to let it out, but it's just as comfortable in the Imperial Academy!"

Can Su Wenqing's temperament be released?You have to get into trouble as soon as you go out, so it's better to stay in the capital honestly.

For ordinary people, passing the Jinshi examination and becoming an official is the only way for ordinary people to jump over the dragon's gate and change their family.

For the family of officials and eunuchs, it is naturally the backbone of the family.Only when there are many clan members who are officials in the court, can the clan prosper for a long time.

As for being a high-ranking official, being a marquis and worshiping a minister, that is rare, and the ancestors are honored.

Listening to the discussion of the elders in the family about worshiping the ancestors tomorrow, and saying that they should report to the capital as soon as possible, Su Yizhao also felt the family's inheritance and sense of responsibility in his heart.

If it is placed in the previous life, these are actually cousins, or even more distant relationships.In the previous life, everyone cleaned the snow by themselves, how could they control their relatives?

But it was different in ancient times. The clan controlled the clan members very strictly.Of course, there are also clansmen who made mistakes, and other clansmen have joint reasons.

Seeing Su Wenqing's growing impatience, Su Yizhao sighed, hoping that his father would be more successful in the future.

If there is news from the capital, my grandfather and the others will be shocked.

"Master! Ladies and gentlemen, the official messenger to announce the good news is here!" Uncle Zhong's voice came from outside the hall, his tone still full of excitement.

The second old man stood up first, and said to the crowd: "Here we come! Let's go! Let's go!"

Su Yizhao followed the crowd to the front yard. At the moment the main gate of the front yard was wide open, Su Yizhao heard the sound of the gong ringing to announce the good news.

Only on important days, the front door of the mansion will be opened wide, and the corner door is usually opened on weekdays.

The second old man and the others stroked their robes and stood up one by one, with smiles on their faces.

"Successful report of the ninth place in the Yibei Township Examination of your master Su Wenqing's high school."

"Congratulations to Mr. Su Wenqing, the ninth place in the high school country test!"

The sound of the good news has already ignited the originally quiet countryside, like a candle igniting firecrackers, and the pot exploded.

Neighbors and clansmen flocked into the old house of the Su family to announce the good news. Only on such a day would the neighbors dare to flock to such a wealthy family as the Su family. hi money.

"Light the firecrackers!"

The second old man's expression is very calm at the moment, in fact, he has experienced this kind of scene many times.

"Successful report of the ninth place in the Yibei Township Examination of your master Su Wenqing's high school."

The official messengers who announced the good news rushed in six people at once. They held copper pulleys and pushed gongs and drums, beating all the way over.

This good news is a good job, even the poorest family will give some happy money.

Of course, a big family like the Su family gave a lot of money for the wedding, so they all rushed to come, otherwise there would be no six announcements.

Tying the horse at the entrance of the village and beating it all the way, this is sincerity.

"Everyone, please come in!"

Isn't it?Su Yizhao saw that the second old man ordered people to give the six people a red seal of happiness money. When the six people touched the red seal, they were overjoyed and congratulated repeatedly.

That's good, no money, and talk non-stop like a cannonball.

Su Wenqing had just been reprimanded by the second old master, and now she didn't dare to disappoint, and she frequently bowed her hands with joy on her face.

Su Yizhao glanced at the thickness of the red seal, it was so soft, it must not be a copper coin, and it didn't look like silver falling below, could it be a silver ticket?
Tut tut!What a rich man!At least twelve bank notes are needed, no wonder those people are smiling.

The next thing is the money that the neighbors have been looking forward to. At this moment, it is necessary to test whether you are agile and quick-witted.

Many children are already ready. The elders are slow, and the children are small. If you drill around, you can pick up a lot of money.

Everyone said congratulatory words, and then, like a swarm of bees seeing honey, they ran out of the courtyard following the money basket moved by the servant.

Most of the people walked away in a hurry, Su Yizhao wanted to join in the fun, so he raised his legs to follow.

"Quickly invite a few poor men to serve tea inside, and rest at the mansion for two days. After we draw up the list, we have to work hard for the poor men!"

The second old man pointed to Uncle Zhong and ordered, don't look at these people as small officials in the yamen, but the king of Hades is easy to see, and little ghosts are difficult to deal with. People like them do things decently and will not offend people easily.

Su Yizhao looked back, a little curious, why did he invite someone to live in the mansion, could it be that he still has to eat and drink these few days?
