Travel through the farmhouse leisurely

Chapter 297
When Lin Xiaoqiao heard this, he hurriedly put away the document, stuffed it into Chen Xuewen's hands, and said cautiously: "Brother Xuewen, put it away by yourself!"

Chen Xuewen smiled dotingly, and there was not much on his face, because of the joy of passing the exam, he took Lin Xiaoqiao's hand and said, "Okay, let's go in too, Uncle Lin and the housekeeper are about to be overwhelmed. "

After hearing this, the three Lin Xiaoqiao brothers and sister took each other and walked inside, ready to go in and help greet those guests who came to congratulate them.

Just when everyone was overjoyed, there was a person in the crowd with a slight look of disappointment on his face.

Just as the crowd outside the gate of the Lin family was slowly moving towards the door, someone saw that the officials who had just announced the good news rode their horses back in the direction of the Lin family.

"Happy news——Lu Haojie, Mr. Lu passed the examination, No. 60 four." There was another sound of beating gongs and drums, accompanied by the sound of Lu Haojie announcing his success.

Hearing this voice, Lu Haojie, who had just lost his expression, straightened up, and the smile on the corner of his mouth really dissipated.

The congratulatory crowd didn't understand the situation very well. They didn't know who Lu Haojie and Mr. Lu were. Walking to the door, intending to see the excitement of other houses.

However, Butler Ping knew exactly who this Lu Haojie belonged to. Isn't this person standing next to his young ladies and masters?

So, he hurriedly ran to Mrs. Li, begged for ten taels of silver, sealed it with a red envelope, put it in his arms, and hurriedly ran out to wait.

The four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao also expressed their congratulations and walked out the door, waiting for the official messenger's happy letter to come to the door.

"Happy news——Lu Haojie, Mr. Lu has won the examination of this year's Juren, No. 60 four." After the leader of the official sent off his horse, he took out his official document and took a look at it, then stood outside the gate of Lin's house, and sang this song good news.

"Is it here? Is there a master Lu Haojie here?" To show caution, the officer confirmed it loudly again. This work of announcing the good news cannot be mistaken casually.

Lu Haojie took a step forward, facing the officials, cupped his fists and said, "Xiaosheng is Lu Haojie, a native of Shuitong County."

Lu Haojie reported his family name, and the officials confirmed his identity, so the leader of the officials immediately smiled and congratulated: "Congratulations, Master Lu, I am also here to congratulate you, you will pass the exam next year, the gold list Title."

Afterwards, he patted Butler Ping on the shoulder and said with a big smile, "Brother Hexi, working in such a master's house has a bright future!"

Steward Ping bent his body slightly, took out a red envelope from his arms, and stuffed it into the officer's hand: "Thank you, Master, for your good words!"

The official took the red envelope, put it in his arms, leaned over to Steward Ping's ear, and asked softly, "What is the relationship between this Lu Haojie and Chen Xuewen and the Lin family?"

Butler Ping understands that these officials are all masters who are used to looking at the dishes. Hearing such inquiries, he turned his mind for a while and replied with a smile: "One is the future uncle of the Lin family, and the other is the future uncle of the Lin family. He is the nephew of the Lin family."

"Oh—so that's the case!" After hearing this, the elder brother of the officer sent his head and nodded. No wonder the two masters asked to deliver the happy news to the Lin family.

Knowing the situation, the official turned around and walked up to Lin Erniu, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations, Master Lin, congratulations, Master Lin, you are really a lucky old man."

This respectful look was even more serious than before, and the smile on his face seemed to be a little flattering.

Hearing these words, Lin Erniu felt rather awkward. He is only in his 30s, so how could he become "you are old", but everyone loves to hear such auspicious words, so he naturally It is no exception.

Butler Ping hurried forward, took out another five taels of silver, stuffed it into the officer's hand, and said with a smile: "Master, it's hard work."

The official sent the master to accept it as soon as he saw it, put away the silver, and said with a smile: "Master Lin is busy, so we brothers and sisters will leave first!"

Lin Erniu nodded with a smile, butler Ping smiled again and sent the officials away.

At this time, the crowd became even more lively, and everyone was talking about the good luck of the Lin family.

On the same day, the officials who announced the good news came to the door twice to announce the good news to the two masters who lived in the Lin family. This incident can be regarded as a small anecdote.

As for why such a strange scene happened today, it must be attributed to Lu Haojie himself. Before taking the test, all candidates must fill in a detailed personal information.

At that time, Lu Haojie filled in the address of Lin Xiaoqiao's family in the column of address. He had no father, no mother, and no home.

As for the so-called 'relatives' in his hometown, apart from bullying him, they were plotting against him. Therefore, he didn't want to get close to them, and wished he could break away from them, so he didn't want those people to know about him.

The Lin family is the only place where he has felt warm for so many years. Therefore, although Lu Haojie and Lin Xiaoqiao's family have not known each other for a long time, he hopes that he can truly treat this place as is the place of home.

On the day of announcing the good news, the Lin family fell into a long period of excitement, not only the neighbors came to congratulate them.

There are also some local wealthy and gentry who got the news so quickly for some reason, and sent people to send congratulatory gifts one after another.

Butler Ping was so busy all day long that he didn't even have the time to sit down and have a sip of tea, but he was so tired that he bent his waist when he greeted and sent them off.

At night, the guests who came to the door were sent away, and after three days of informing them, they would come back for a glass of water and wine, and the small courtyard of the Lin family was considered to be a little quieter.

The four brothers and sister Lin Xiaoqiao were fiddling with gift boxes piled up on the ground like a hill. Seeing so many presents, Lin Xiaoqiao couldn't help smiling and said to the two elder brothers: "Have you seen it? Work hard, you two will be admitted to Juren two years later, maybe our family will receive more gift boxes than now! My little sister, I can make a small fortune, depending on you!"

Erlang ignored his little sister's words, looked at the gift boxes, and said, "Why are those people so well-informed? Their hands and feet are really fast enough. I really don't understand that people we don't know even come to give gifts to us." Here? What do you think they are planning?"

"Take a look at this ink jade paperweight, it will cost a lot of money, right?" Erlang said, holding the ink jade in his hand.

"Here's another one, two of them are exactly the same. These rich people are really thoughtful, and they don't bully any of them. You didn't even show your face, and you gave such an expensive gift. You two haven't been officials yet. Such a big investment." Lin Xiaoqiao also picked up a piece, and said with some emotion.
