Chapter 243 Several joys and sorrows

Liu Yueru happily ran to the shop and told Pei Xiangxiang that when Lin Xu was admitted to Juren and was still No.1, Pei Xiangxiang was stunned for a long time before he realized it.

"Sister Liu, is what you said true? Brother Lin Xu really passed the exam. Has he come back?"

Hearing this news, Pei Xiangxiang was overjoyed, and without waiting for Liu Yueru to reply, he ran directly outside the shop, but before running a few steps, he turned back and said to Pei Sijing, "Third sister, take care of the shop first, If there is anything important, you can come back to me."

Pei Sijing saw that Pei Xiangxiang's thoughts were not here long ago, she wished she could fly back immediately, and replied with a smile, "Look, I'm making you happy, go back quickly, as long as I'm here."

After receiving Pei Sijing's affirmative answer, Pei Xiangxiang hurried home. On the way back, many people saw Pei Xiangxiang and greeted him from a distance, "Miss Pei, I'm so happy, Mr. Lin has passed the exam, and all the officials have come to announce the congratulations, congratulations!" .”

"Thank you, Uncle Liu."

"Miss Pei, let's go home, Mr. Lin is really good, he got No.1 in the exam."

"Thank you, Aunt Chen."

……

Pei Xiangxiang thanked her during the congratulations all the way, and when she arrived home, the outside was already full of people, and after Pei Yongping heard about the happy event, he also rushed back from the outside, and now the Pei family's yard has already been arranged There are several tables, and several plates of melon and fruit snacks are placed on each table to entertain the neighbors and friends who come to watch.

After seeing Pei Xiangxiang from a distance, Mrs. Yang quickly walked up to Pei Xiangxiang, dragged Pei Xiangxiang to a place where there were few people, and said to Pei Xiangxiang excitedly, "Xiangxiang, great joy, Brother Xu passed the No.1 exam. , Baozi is drinking tea in the hall now, with your father accompanying him, should we give him a big red envelope?"

The newspaper in Yang's mouth is the person who came to announce the good news. Pei Xiangxiang looked in the direction of the hall, and then said back to Yang, "Of course I have to give the red envelope, but it's not good for us to come forward, mother, you should quickly seal it." Give the money to Aunt Han, let her come forward and give it."

Hearing what Pei Xiangxiang said, Mrs. Yang didn't hesitate, and nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, I'll go get ready."

Pei Xiangxiang did this because he was afraid that others would say gossip, and Pei Xiangxiang was willing to spend money on Lin Xu, but she didn't want Lin Xu and Han to be talked about by others because of this. Come forward, I'm afraid there will be a lot of rumors.

On the other hand, the Han family was rummaging through boxes and chests to collect money, thinking that it was a happy event for her son to pass the exam, and this red envelope money is indispensable, but the money is there, but it is all scraps of money gathered together, and it is difficult for her to take it out. , when she was burning with anxiety, Mrs. Yang handed over a money bag to Mrs. Han.

As soon as Han touched the bag, he knew that there was a lot of money in it, and with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, he said, "Well, how dare you take your money."

"Don't talk about these outsiders, what about you and us, when Xiangxiang and Brother Xu got married, I treated Brother Xu as my son. Isn't it the same who spends the money? Brother Xu If you passed the exam, you, as a mother, can be regarded as a top performer, and many folks have come outside, sister Han should also go out to meet guests."

Mrs. Yang said this, and Mrs. Han couldn't shirk anymore, and said thank you several times in succession, and the anxiety in her heart gradually dissipated.

The newspapers arrived first, but Lin Xu didn't come back right away, because after the announcement, the governor was going to host the Luming Banquet, so Lin Xu naturally had to come back after attending. As for the entertainment after the banquet, he couldn't refuse all of them.

Although Lin Xu didn't come back, it didn't affect the joy of Pei Xiangxiang's family. Pei Xiangxiang was even more overjoyed, and immediately sent a message that everyone who worked for the Pei family, whether they were long-term workers or short-term workers, would be rewarded with two hundred cash silver.

However, when Pei Xiangxiang's family was immersed in the joy of Lin Xu's entrance examination, Pei Xiangxiang received an urgent letter saying that Pei Xiangxiang should go to Qinghe Town to help find Zhao Jun's family.

In Lin Xu's letter, he briefly described Zhao Jun's situation. Zhao Jun met Lin Xu when they were in Yangxian County. It is a pity that Zhao Jun suddenly fell ill the day before the exam, and the exam was forced to be suspended halfway. He carried it out and missed the exam. Zhao Jun was so anxious that his condition worsened, and the doctor told him not to rush on the road, but to stay in Yang County first.

But Lin Xu had so many things to do that he couldn't help to take care of him all the time. Although Liu He was left to take care of Zhao Jun, Liu He was a small person after all. Therefore, Lin Xu had no choice but to urgently write a letter to Pei Xiangxiang, asking her to help find Zhao Jun's family. , Let his family go to Yang County to take care of him.

Pei Xiangxiang saw that Qinghe Town was written on the letter, thinking that the siblings she helped live there also lived there, so he went directly to Hezhuang to find the two siblings, and asked them if they knew Lin Xu and said Zhao family.

When the siblings stole peppers, after being caught by Shi Daniu, Pei Xiangxiang asked them to work for her in order to help them, paid them wages in advance, and then arranged for them to go to Hezhuang to raise snails and crayfish.

When they arrived at Hezhuang, the siblings were feeding the crayfish. When they saw Pei Xiangxiang approaching, they quickly put down their work to greet them.

This was the second time Pei Xiangxiang saw them, and when they greeted them, Pei Xiangxiang remembered that he didn't seem to ask their names before, so he said, "I forgot to ask your last name and which village you live in last time. "

"Hi girl, my name is Zhao Dongmei, my younger brother Zhao Yong lives in Zhaojia Village in Qinghe Town."

When Zhao Dongmei first introduced herself as Zhao, Pei Xiangxiang couldn't help being surprised, thinking that Zhao Jun was Zhao Dongmei's brother, but when she heard later that she lived in Zhaojia Village, she couldn't help laughing from the bottom of her heart He smiled, thinking that there is no such a coincidence in the world, since it is Zhaojia Village, the surname Zhao is the common surname in this village.

Of course, Pei Xiangxiang didn't want such a coincidence, otherwise, Zhao Dongmei and Zhao Yong took the risk of stealing things to raise money for their brother, but Zhao Jun failed to pass the exam due to illness, which meant that their efforts were in vain.

Pei Xiangxiang heaved a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Since you live in Zhaojia Village, do you know someone named Zhao Jun? His family is also in Qinghe Town, but I don't know which village he lives in. This time, he will also go to the township test." .”

When Zhao Dongmei heard Pei Xiangxiang mention the name Zhao Jun, her face showed a bit of surprise, and she asked, "Miss also knows my brother?"

Before Zhao Dongmei finished speaking, Pei Xiangxiang's face changed slightly, thinking to himself, what a coincidence.

Zhao Dongmei obviously didn't notice the look on Pei Xiangxiang's face, and said again, "Did the girl have news about my brother, did he pass the exam? I heard the girl's... no, Mr. Lin passed the No.1 exam , does he know where my brother passed the exam?"

Seeing Zhao Dongmei's expectant expression, Pei Xiangxiang was a little at a loss, but after hesitating for a long time, she still told Zhao Dongmei the actual situation, and when Zhao Yong heard it, he burst into tears. On the contrary, Zhao Dongmei calmed down and persuaded her to stop. Zhao Yong then asked for leave with Pei Xiangxiang, intending to leave immediately for Yang County to take care of Zhao Jun.
