The news team arrived faster than Gu Erzhu expected. Two days ago, he had just joked with his in-laws that he should prepare the silver reward early to avoid getting messed up later.

At noon, the sun is scorching.

There was a heat wave inside and outside the house, making people sweat profusely.

Gu Erzhu put down his chopsticks and came out, standing at the door of the main hall, thinking about whether to take a dip in the river, when he vaguely seemed to hear the sound of blowing and beating.

"Master, I'm so happy! ... Master, madam, I'm so happy! ... Master, madam, I'm so happy, the second young master has won, the second young master has won..."

bingo?

Is the news team really coming?

"Daughter-in-law, hurry up, the news team is coming!" As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Erzhu ran out and almost collided with Yu Cai who rushed in from the front yard.

What kind of master is not a master? The master of the house doesn't want to lose face.

He yelled to Yu Cai to quickly take someone to move the coins to the front yard, and then he continued to run out.

Qinghe Village is boiling.

This year, four talents were selected at once, and Xiao Sanyuan was from their village.

"Quick, grab the second pillar."

Second Master Gu is much calmer.

He thinks that he is at least much calmer than his eldest brother (Gu Patriarch) who learned that not only Gu Wenxuan, a junior and middle school student, but also his own grandson Gu Wenyu had also been selected as a scholar.

It was so busy, asking my sons and nephews to stop my nephew who wanted to run to the village entrance, and always keeping an eye on whether my eldest brother, who was crying with joy, would faint from "heatstroke".

"I'm coming."

"The head of Gu's case is just ahead."

The head of the case?

Number one again?
Has his Liulang really become Xiao Sanyuan?

Gu Erzhu didn't even dare to think about it. Among the tens of thousands of boys, it would be a blessing if his Liulang could get a spot as a junior.

He knew very well how his eldest brother passed the college entrance examination. Tong Sheng was crowded with people, and several times he failed to rank outside the fifty places in the capital.

How could a scholar like Xiao Sanyuan pass the exam? Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, Qingyang County has only had a Boss Zhao, and now his Liulang is the head of the case again?
"Two pillars!"

He was still confused at this juncture, and Mr. Gu wished he could give his nephew a slap in the face in public to wake him up.

Gu Yangqing, who rushed back from the county town with the news team, shouted in a fit of laughter and tears, "Master Wu, brother Wu, my good brother Wu, hurry up and get the good news, my father is going to kick you."

Gu Erzhu suddenly trembled, his face turned red as he dug his right hand, stared closely at the red-clothed officer, and asked tremblingly, "Can you say it again?"

The red-clothed administrator who announced the good news was not surprised to see countless reactions from people who were suddenly overjoyed during the mid-term exam.

There was good-natured laughter around him, and he sang loudly again: "Congratulations to the second master of your mansion, Gu Wenxuan, for your high school career and your fifteenth year of success in the imperial examination!

After that, he passed the imperial examination and passed the high school examination, passed the high school examination, won the first place in the Jinluan Palace, and passed the sixth place in the imperial examination! "

"it is good!"

Amidst the cheers, the officer in red presented the good news with both hands.

The good news was stamped with a big scarlet seal, and there was no way it could be fake at all.

Gu Erzhu held up the good news with both hands, exhaled, took a deep breath, exhaled again, and raised his voice: "Daughter-in-law, hurry up, double the wedding money, and treat the official to a drink!"

The officer in red was overjoyed and said a bunch of auspicious words about being named on the gold medal list and winning the title in the Toad Palace. People in their line of work were very good at talking. Living up to his expectations, Yu Cai brought a wooden tray.

On the wooden tray were ten shiny silver ingots weighing five and a half taels, and a dozen sachets.

Gu Dachang on the side never forgot Zhou Banxia's instructions. The day when the news team came to visit was the day that her parents-in-law were most proud of. She first asked her parents-in-law to reward them with silver, and then gave each member of the team a red cloth bag.

Here the red-clothed officer took the silver reward from the wooden tray, and over there a clever boy stepped forward and handed a red cloth bag, and then distributed the red cloth bags one by one.

All members of the news team, including the craftsmen sent by the ceremony room, except the leading yamen officer in red and the other two county yamen officers in the county, received red cloth bags with silver ingots ranging from ten taels to five taels, and everyone received them. There were two purses containing about five taels of silver melon seeds and two wedding cakes.

When Gu Dachang saw that all the red bags had been removed, he quickly pulled Yu Cai, who was foolishly happy, to lift the wooden box containing the copper coins and approach Gu Erzhu.

Gu Erzhu woke up at this moment and grabbed a large handful of copper coins with both hands. While scattering the coins, he happily shouted to set off the firecrackers.

Following his order, the crackling sound of firecrackers suddenly sounded, and craftsmen sent by the county government's ceremony room also erected stone flagpoles on the left and right sides of Gu's door.

For those scholars in Daliang who have gained a great reputation, stone flagpoles will be erected on the left and right sides of the gate, and craftsmen will be sent to install them in the ceremonial rooms of the yamen under their jurisdiction according to their level of merit.

The scholar's honor is a pair of stone flagpoles with a height of six feet. The base of the stone flagpole is square. The year of erection and the name of the owner of the flagpole are engraved in the middle of the pillar. There is a writing brush carved on the top of the flagpole.

When the flag is lifted, there are two pens carved on the top of the stone flagpole.

Even outside the gate of the ancestral hall and on the ancestral graves, two stone flagpoles with two pens carved on the top can be erected.

Not only is the family honorable, but even the deceased ancestors are honorable.

A stone flagpole was erected at the door of Gu's house and a flag with the word "Jie" was placed. At the same time, two other people were "changing the door" carrying the door tied with red silk.

Gu Dachang hurriedly stepped forward to hand out the silver purses one by one. While thanking him repeatedly, he did not forget to ask the masters to help him repair the steps.

Mr. Gu, who heard that Gu Wenxuan actually won a small three yuan, came one step behind and stared closely at the two stone flagpoles with the word "Jie" on them.

Looking at the big red flag with the word "Jie" fluttering in the wind, and then at the majestic main entrance that had been renovated, Mr. Gu knelt down and kowtowed in the direction of his ancestral grave.

This frightened Gu Erzhu. He didn't bother to rush to Zhou's house to see if there was anyone he could help with. He subconsciously ran to kneel down behind his father.

Seeing this, Gu Laosi pulled Gu Sanzhu and knelt next to Gu Erzhu. Suddenly, Gu Wulang and others present knelt down one by one behind him.

Mrs. Liu was dumbfounded.

He looked around.

Fortunately, everyone went to the in-laws' house with the news team. Even the children's grandfather and grandpa went home first and waited for the news team to come.

But, what does the old man want to do? Does he really think that Sanyuan, the youngest of the six men in her family, is the manifestation of the ancestors of their old Gu family?
If the ancestors really showed up, and there was no old face singing about the grandson he taught, he would be proud of his ancestors and so on. They would have used their dreams to beat you, an unfilial descendant.

It makes you biased to the extreme!

If it weren't for Sanya, her Liulang family wouldn't have this day.

Mrs. Gu patted Mrs. Liu on the arm, "I was wrong.

The family has a good wife for three generations, the second daughter-in-law, you are a good daughter-in-law, a good wife, and a good mother! "

Mrs. Liu's tears suddenly burst out, like broken beads, pattering to the ground.

no.

If it weren't for Sanya, it would be almost her Rokuro!

She was not a good mother. The quality of her children depended on their mothers. Her Liulang had suffered so many injustices and was almost destroyed! (End of chapter)
