Liaozhai: I just want salted fish with invincible magical powers

Chapter 104 Reward

When Hu Qian and the two returned home, many spectators had already gathered at the door.

There is a bay red horse tied in front of the door, and a reporter is standing beside him talking to Hu Different.

Seeing Hu Qian coming, the reporter immediately pulled out the wooden stick pinned to his waist, and beat the gong in his hand loudly.

"Congratulations to Mr. Hu Qian for being ranked 38th on the Shannan Prefecture Guibang!"

After shouting three times in a row, it stopped.

Although Hu Qian didn't care much about these things, since he won the prize, he finally lived up to the expectations of Shen Yuzhen and others, and he couldn't help being overjoyed and smiling all over his face.

Congratulations were heard from all around the neighborhood. Shen Yuzhen and others were also looking out of the west courtyard. Xiaohuan and Lu'er ran in and out from time to time, apparently to inquire about news.

Hu Tong was so happy that he didn't know what to say for a while, and said, "Okay! I deserve a reward!"

So he asked the servant to seal 20 taels of silver to the newspaper, so happy that the corner of the newspaper's mouth reached the back of the ear, and kept bowing to thank him.

With the living standard of the Daqian Dynasty, a few taels of silver was almost enough for ordinary people to live for a year, let alone 20 taels.

According to the usual practice, Hu Budong invited the newspaper to his home again, entertained him with good wine and good food for two days.

In the past two days, Hu Butong and Mrs. Zhao racked their brains to write down the names and addresses of all the relatives and friends they could think of, and let the newspaper announce the good news and invite them to come and congratulate.

Not to mention that the newspaper went to announce the good news happily, but only that Hu Qian had a conversation with Mrs. Zhao in the East Courtyard, and when he heard the two discuss how many tables should be set up, where the chef should be invited, and how many days of singing in the hall, they would be very happy. Say goodbye and leave.

Hu Butong and Mrs. Zhao actually sent him out, and told him not to go out for two days, so as not to miss his relatives and friends when they came.

Hu Qian was really flattered, and immediately returned to the west courtyard.

Shen Yuzhen and the others had already inquired about the situation outside, and when they saw Hu Qian coming back, they immediately surrounded him.

Everyone was beaming, with unconcealable smiles on their faces.

Shen Yuzhen was the first to congratulate her, "My husband, congratulations on your high school."

Rong Ning'er and Lu Huanniang also followed to salute, and Axiu was about to bow, but Hu Qian hurriedly pulled her back, "Don't mess around with me."

After speaking, he looked at Shen Yuzhen and Rong Ning'er with a smile, "What? That's the end? This congratulation seems a little casual."

Shen Yuzhen and Rong Ning'er thought he was a little angry, so they quickly bowed and said: "I'm not very polite, please forgive me.

If you don't wait for the concubine to prepare some gifts on the street, let Yanchun prepare some good wine and food at night, and then congratulate your husband. "

Seeing that they were getting serious, Hu Qian couldn't help laughing, stretched out his left and right hands to pull Shen Yuzhen and Rong Ning'er into his arms, and said something in a low voice.

The two blushed immediately and nodded shyly.

Hu Qian kissed each of the faces of the two, "Once a word is said, it is hard to follow!

Who dares to go back on his word, Xianggong will be punished and served! "

The two of them blushed even more when they thought of the shameful punishments, family law, water and fire sticks he said on weekdays, and bowed their heads without saying a word.

Lu Huanniang said: "Whatever idea does Xianggong come up with, let's bring my concubine with me."

Rong Ning'er hurriedly said: "Huan Niang, you are pregnant, so it's not suitable for such intense..."

Halfway through the talk, I stopped talking, but made Lu Huanniang blush too.

Axiu said happily: "If Xianggong wins Juren, can he be an official?"

Hu Qian said with a smile: "The 38 juren, what kind of officials can they be, even if they can do it, they are just teaching and so on."

Shen Yuzhen said: "This statement is not false, but if there is a vacancy, it can be filled. I heard that there are still people who directly become magistrates in the capacity of Juren."

Huan Niang said: "But this is rare, just like "Fengzhu Ge". Many people know about it, but none have seen it."

"What is "Phoenix Bamboo Song"?"

Rong Ning'er said: "It's a lost qin song, Huan Niang only chanted about this song all day long, except for her husband and children."

Shen Yuzhen said: "Before my concubine got married to my husband, I often heard rumors about his notoriety. Today, it is extremely difficult for my husband to be able to raise people in high school.

Even if it is 38, it is because of Xianggong's diligent study and hard work.

As far as the concubine is concerned, she is also satisfied, so why should she expect to be an official or not.

Besides, I heard that most of the officials take office alone, and if Xianggong is the same, wouldn't it be extremely sad to leave us sisters here. "

Axiu quickly shook her head and said, "Sister, Axiu didn't mean that..."

However, when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word.

Hu Qian put his arms around her shoulders slowly, and said with a smile: "Axiu's nature is simple and simple, so it doesn't matter what you say, my husband doesn't like her too much, how can I blame you.

Besides, if I really want to take up the post somewhere, I will take you with me. "

Shen Yuzhen said happily: "Really?"

"Of course, even if you are willing to leave Xianggong, Xianggong is still not willing to leave you."

Rong Ning'er said happily: "Okay, when the time comes, we will go sightseeing while walking, it will be a great pleasure."

Lu Huanniang said: "Poetry, wine and qin, the scenery along the way seems to be in line with the old saying of my husband, 'Poetry and wine take advantage of the time'."

The more they talked, the happier they became, and for a moment they could not wait to leave immediately.

After a while, Yingcai ran in and said that Hu Jiu had come back after inquiring about the news, and asked the young master to speak at the gate of the courtyard.

When leaving Zuixian Tower, Hu Qian and Hu Jiu went to inquire about Guo Yu and Du Jianzhi's situation.

Seeing Hu Qian at this time, Hu Jiu immediately said: "Young master, I have found out clearly that Mr. Guo is the first in the list, and Mr. Du... seems to have failed the list."

Hu Qian nodded.

Guo Yu's literary talent has always been very good, and he is very hardworking. It is not surprising that he won the first place.

As for Du Jianzhi, he might have passed the exam, but since he violated the emperor's taboo, no one can save him.

Thinking of this, he suddenly thought of Ye Qiuhen.

As the minister of rites of the imperial court and a third-rank Beijing official, since he was ordered to preside over the examination in Shannan Mansion, he would never disappear right after the examination.

Thinking of what he said before, he probably had an accident.

So he asked Shen Yuzhen to help change his clothes, saying that he was going to visit the state government office, and inquire about things in the capital by the way.

After hearing this, Shen Yuzhen immediately took out a money bag and handed it to him.

"What is this for?"

"It's full of scattered silver. Mr. Xiang is a new recruit, so if others congratulate him, they will inevitably give some rewards."

Taking advantage of the fact that she was tying the robe belt in front of Hu Qian, Hu Qian hugged her, hugged her little face and started to chew.

"My lady is still careful."

"Msanggong...don't...the robe belt hasn't been fastened yet."

Seeing her attractive appearance, Hu Qian simply tore off her robe belt, and hugged her on the bed.

"Sanggong, you... this... oops..."

Xiaohuan was waiting outside, ready to change Hu Qian's boots, when he heard the movement inside, he couldn't help being taken aback, and ran out quickly.

After some cloud and rain, Xiaohuan walked in at the right time, and saw that Shen Yuzhen was dressing Hu Qian, while her hair was disheveled, her clothes were disheveled, and her white and tender skin was faintly visible.

When he arrived at the state government office, the masters, government servants, and scribes all congratulated him like Hu Qian.

He is not called "Young Master" as before, but "Master Hu"—since he won the exam, he can be called "Master Hu".

Hu Qian was not stingy either, he was rewarded when he saw it, and everyone praised him loudly.

After seeing Xu Yuanfang and the others, they naturally praised him again.

After a pause, Hu Qian asked, "Uncle, do you know Mr. Ye, the Minister of Rites in the capital?"

Xu Yuanfang's smiling face immediately changed.
