After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"That's the number one scholar in the imperial court, and it's much better than their scholar Juren. Do you remember the so-and-so in the next village?
At the beginning, I won the Juren with you in Fucheng, and I went to the capital at about the same time as you, but this time, no one from his family came to announce the good news. I heard that he didn't win, and he just went to get a head. I said what the hell With such good luck, based on his ability, how can he compare with our Jingcheng. "

After the village chief said this, his face was flushed. Gu Jingcheng's top scorer's grades made him completely wipe away the bad breath he had received from the village chiefs of the next few villages.

"The village chief's saying this is really hurting me. I'm just luckier than ordinary people to get such an honor. As for others... Maybe it's just that I didn't perform well this time or twice."

Gu Jingcheng never elevates himself by stepping on others.

But he spoke very gently to the village head, not to mention anything else, the village head has always taken good care of their family in the village, there may be some reasons why he can earn face for the village head by studying, but anyway, Gu Jingcheng and the Gu family , I thoroughly enjoyed the benefits from the village chief.

When the village chief saw what he said, he stopped talking about the affairs of other people's villages, but changed the subject and talked about the most important thing for them this time - the ancestral temple.

"Jingcheng, this time you are really a glorious ancestor, so the village chief discussed it with a few old people in the village. He wants to take advantage of your great joy to open a ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, so that the ancestors can all be respected." Knowing that our village is promising, we are no longer as illiterate as before, and are bullied by others."

As the village chief spoke, tears began to well up in his eyes. It was hard for Gu Jingcheng to say no, so he could only nod in cooperation.

"So, these things will bother the village chief and all the uncles. Jingcheng will thank you all again."

"What is the number one scholar talking about? We are lucky that the big guy can do things for you. How can ordinary people have such an opportunity to stand up for the number one scholar?"

Although the old people in the village are all older than Gu Jingcheng, they used to have more authority than him in the village, but now that Gu Jingcheng has the status of champion, who would dare to say something he doesn't like to hear in front of him?
Naturally, everyone was supportive of him, and some even planned to hold a big event long ago. Every household in the village contributed some money, so that their Gu family village would show off in the nearby villages this time.

"We have all agreed that every household will pay some money. Let's take this opportunity to make a big deal, so that people in the nearby villages will know that our Gujia Village usually does not show its mountains and dews. It means we're useless."

"Who says it's not? The powerful people usually work hard at the back, but this time I really want to thank Jingcheng. I said that when I worship the ancestors later, I have to write Jingcheng's name first." page?"

"It's not impossible to open another genealogy book for him. In the past few hundred years, our village has only won such a champion."

"Then we have to discuss this matter carefully. It just so happens that Mrs. Gu also came over, so I have to talk to them about the genealogy."

The few old people had already discussed it. They gathered around the gate of the village head's house and talked to each other, and they were already discussing the matter of setting up a big banquet.

Mrs. Li came over, and the people in the village pulled him to talk again.

Gu Jingcheng was called over by the village chief, but Su Xiaomu was alone.

But she didn't care anymore, she found a quiet place to listen to them talking.

When Mrs. Li was with them just now, she was happy because of Gu Jingcheng's being the No. [-] scholar in the examination, but now when everyone talked about opening another family tree for him, Mrs. Li couldn't hold back her grievances, she felt distressed and choked up Said the old man of the same clan.

"It's not easy for my child to be the number one scholar in the exam."

"Since last year, Jingcheng and her daughter-in-law haven't been at home very much. Every time I finally come back, I can see that he will lose a lot of weight than before. It's just this time, and we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. If it wasn't for me I think about him every day, I'm afraid I almost forget what my son looks like."

Li shi was crying aggrieved, all he said was feeling sorry for Gu Jingcheng.

The clan elders were also very moved when they heard this, and everyone felt a little bit distressed while being proud.

"You're right, I haven't seen Jingcheng for a long time, and his daughter-in-law has done a lot for our village. The big shed we're building now, I heard that it can earn a lot for the village later. money."

"Well, let's write together then."

The clan elders clapped their hands and made arrangements for Su Xiaomu by the way.

This made Su Xiaomu who was next to him who just wanted to watch the fun a little confused, didn't he?She didn't plan to be with Gu Jingcheng for a long time.

"The clan elders are so kind to Jingcheng, and everyone values ​​him so much. It might as well be that he has suffered so much in the past, and now he has paid off."

In front of the elders in the village, Mrs. Li counted Gu Jingcheng's hardships in order to study.

When Su Xiaomu listened to her speech, he couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed while feeling emotional.

Perhaps Mrs. Li really felt sorry for her son's hard work along the way, but how many people who listened took these things to heart?
Others lamented that the addition of a champion in the village would bring them many benefits in the future.

Whether it's their own greenhouse or Gu Jingcheng's not forgetting to drink water, there are only advantages and no disadvantages for them.

The time for worshiping the ancestors has to be carefully calculated, but because Gu Jingcheng will go to the capital to serve in a few days, the patriarch checked the almanac and confirmed that two days later would be a good day, so he waved his hand and decided to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors two days later.

The matter on the patriarch's side was settled, so Gu Jingcheng and Su Xiaomu were able to go home and rest.

When they went back now, the people who came to eat in the village had already left.

Because of Gu Jingcheng's incident, Gujia Village has been bustling with activity for several days, and Mrs. Li has also taken care of the meals of the whole village for several days.

After Su Xiaomu asked Li about the specifics of the meeting, he roughly estimated the money used these days. After all, the Gu family has some background, otherwise, if it was the past, even if Gu Jingcheng was admitted to the first prize, how much would he get? Yinzi came to treat the villagers to dinner?

After all, money will be used everywhere in the capital from now on, even if everyone who comes to eat gives twenty coppers as a gift, it is just a drop in the bucket, and throwing it out on the streets of the capital will only make a noise at most.

Su Xiaomu couldn't hold back, feeling these things in his heart.

When they got home, the two sister-in-laws had already prepared dinner for the family today.

These days, although Mrs. Li also invited people from the village to help with the cooking, Su Xiaomu's two sister-in-laws were the busiest.
