816.Chapter 816 Chapter 829 The troubles of Cao Zheng and his wife

The news was transmitted back to Shanglong Village on the twenty-third day after the end of the temple examination. "Words * love * first * hair [. There are many books, and the updates are fast]

The new son-in-law of the Cao family, Cong Ye, won the title of Chinese martial arts double subject, which simply exceeded everyone's expectations.

Since he unexpectedly got his son-in-law after last autumn, he has been the first in the county examination in the spring, which has been unexpected by the Cao family and everyone who has learned the news.

Half a year later, in August, the township examination was the first place in high school.

Originally, I thought that at most, everyone who would be able to get a jinshi in the next palace examination, including Cao Zheng and his wife, did not expect any champions who were not champions. After all, the son-in-law is still young, only sixteen years old, and there is still time in the future, even if he doesn't win this time, there will be no next time

Taking a step back, even if the son-in-law Cong Ye was hit and came to the end, Cao Zheng and his wife were already satisfied.

However, this time when he entered Beijing to participate in the palace examination, he not only won the literary champion, but even the martial champion was also taken into his arms, which was simply undreamable.

After all, it's just gossip, and they haven't received the holy decree yet, so everyone is inevitably suspicious and guessing, maybe it's a false rumor, so that it is wrong. is just a sixteen-year-old boy, even if he has been studying since he was born, it is almost impossible to cultivate both civil and military.

Only two days later, at noon on the 20th of September, with the sound of gongs and drums and the sound of horses' hooves, a group of brightly dressed officials came to Shanglong Village surrounded a person dressed as a eunuch.

When the eunuch finished reading the holy decree, the scene suddenly became silent.

The news turned out to be true, the new son-in-law of the Cao family, sixteen-year-old Cong Ye is really high Chinese martial arts champion.

Not only that, the emperor's decree also ordered Linhe Mansion to meet with the officials of Yi County to choose a suitable site and build a mansion for the civil and military champions within a time limit, and it must reflect the importance and majesty of the imperial court.

Therefore, the county guard of Linhe Prefecture and the county magistrate of Yi County personally demarcated the location of the champion mansion, and Yi County first allocated silver taels from the treasury, summoned craftsmen to start construction on the same day, and began to build the mansion for the civil and military double champion Congye.

The news that once again caused a sensation in the surrounding prefectures and counties spread rapidly, and there was no need to summon, skilled craftsmen within a radius of 100 miles rushed to come, and the vigorous project began.

Cao Zheng, who didn't need to worry about anything, sat at home and started to worry.

"What's the matter, sir?"

Originally, it was just a rural village, and the husband and wife were accustomed to being called "his father, his mother" and other titles, and it took a few days to get used to calling Cao Zheng "master" at first glance.

"Alas, it always feels like a dream. I can't be sure in my heart, even if I sleep. ”

Cao Zheng, who has lost weight in a few days, has sunken eyes, and his eye circles do have dark circles that are obviously caused by lack of sleep.

"Is the master thinking too much?"

In fact, Cao Liu's heart is also extremely unsteady, but how can parents in the world not look forward to their children getting better and better, so they still subconsciously hide that worry.

"Maybe, it came too suddenly."

With the construction of the Champion Mansion, there were constantly people, most of whom came to do errands. For example, those who recommend their own children to be the entourage of the champion master, such as those who recommend their own daughters to be servants in the champion's mansion.

Naturally, there are some people who come for the concubines of the new champions.

is different from when Cong Ye just won the show, and now the matchmaker is asking for marriage is all big families with heads and faces in nearby prefectures and counties, and even official eunuchs want to marry their daughters to Cong Ye as concubines.

This is the most troublesome thing for Cao Zheng and his wife.

The son-in-law already has more than a dozen wives and concubines, although he has not divided any wives and concubines, but if he follows the order of entry, his daughter Cao Wei is already thirteen aunts.

What the husband and wife are most worried about is that their daughter comes from a small family like them after all. Although the original twelve wives and concubines of the son-in-law Cong Ye did not bully their daughters, who can guarantee that the aunts that the son-in-law marries in the future will not bully the daughters from humble backgrounds

There are too many folk legends about this aspect, which cannot but worry Cao Zheng and his wife.

If the son-in-law has been living in Shanglong Village and living by his side, he may be able to prevent him from continuing to take concubines. However, after the son-in-law has become an unprecedented civil and military champion, he is bound to become a big official. Who can stop it then?

"Master, do you think we're worrying about the sky now?"

Cao Zheng didn't use this allusion to comfort himself, but it didn't work at all, and it was difficult to eliminate the worry in his heart about the fate of his daughter who might be bullied in the future.

People say that a person has ascended to heaven with a chicken dog, and Cao Zheng, who has been farming for a living for generations, was lucky to get a son-in-law who was talented and martial arts, so that whether it was the county lord or even the county keeper and Cao Zheng met him, he had to regard himself as a junior.

This made Cao Zheng even more frightened, and he didn't know what to say or do when he was with these officials.

Finally, Cao Zheng fell ill.

Do you want to say that Cao Zheng is really sick?

There is one point, but only Cao Liu knows best, most of her husband's illness is faked. Because Cao Zheng really didn't know how to make friends with the county lord and the county guard who were once high.

Who knew that as soon as the news of Cao Zheng's illness spread, there were more officials.

And not only Yi County and Linhe Prefecture, but also officials from other prefectures and counties also came from far and wide to visit. There was even an official who was going to Beijing to report on his work, and he made a big turn to visit.

"Old lady Cao is on top, and the younger generation Qian Junde is polite."

Mrs. Cao was only in his early thirties, and Cao Zheng, who was not yet thirty-four years old, heard someone call him like this for the first time, and his scalp felt a little numb.

"Old woman Cao, this is a little bit of the official's thoughts, don't think the gift is light."

Cao Liu, who didn't know a single word, took the list of gifts handed by the other party, and he didn't know what was written on it, and how could he know whether the gift was light or heavy

"I can't do it, I can't do it, I can't do it."

Alas, those who embarrass Cao Zheng and his wife can only say these three words.

Actually, they didn't receive gifts. Whether it is a county official or a government official, who comes without gifts?

For Cao Zheng and his wife, whether it is the officials of Yi County or Linhe Mansion, after all, they are still the parents of their own family, so they temporarily accept it, and want to wait for their daughter and son-in-law to come back, and then hand it over to them to deal with.

However, the official in front of him is obviously not a local, and if he accepts his gift, what if he can't find anyone in the future

"Old lady Cao, old lady Cao is too polite. Xia Guan is about to enter Beijing, so naturally he will go to meet the new champion. If the old lady and the old lady have anything to say, the next official will definitely bring it. ”

As soon as they heard this, Cao Zheng and his wife reluctantly accepted it.

There are indeed some things to tell my daughter and son-in-law, but it is inconvenient to pass it on orally, so I specially found an old man in the village who had read books, wrote a letter to my daughter and son-in-law on behalf of their husband and wife, and handed it to Qian Junde, who went to Beijing to report on his work, and took it away.
