When Shu Xiuhe took Shu Hongxuan around, he was told by his subordinates that the old lady let them go to the ancestral hall. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When he came to the ancestral hall, Guan held the wooden box of the holy decree in his hand, and when he saw his son coming, he held the wooden box in both hands, handed it to him, and said with honor: "Ah He, go and enshrine the holy decree in front of the ancestors." ”
Shu Xiuhe took it with both hands, respectfully held the wooden box into the ancestral hall, and dedicated it to the wooden lattice on the top of the ancestral hall, where there were already several wooden boxes, all of which were the holy decrees received by the Guangping Houfu for so many years.
Shu Yanhua, who was also waiting outside the ancestral hall, secretly pouted in her heart, what does this holy decree have to do with Shu Xiuhe, if it is also the elder brother dedicated to the ancestors.
However, thinking that her brother really won the champion and became a Chinese scholar, Shu Yanhua just wanted to laugh out loud with joy in her heart, and she didn't care about Guan's careful eyes.
Second Uncle Shu patted his nephew's shoulder fiercely, with pride and relief on his face: "Brother Xuan, it's good!" The future of our Shu family depends on you. ”
Shu Xiuhe, who was coming out of the ancestral hall, was in his prime, and the Hou Mansion was also thriving under his management, and the Shu family would definitely develop and grow in his hands more powerful than any previous ancestor.
Mei's Yingying smile stiffened for a moment, and after a moment, the smile on her face became more real, looking at Shu Hongxuan's eyes, kind and proud.
Shu Hongwen's hand on his sleeve was clenched tightly, Shu Yanyu pointed to the ground on tiptoe, and the two brothers Shu Hongbo and Shu Hongda were already around Shu Hongxuan, asking him about the saint.
Mei gently pushed Shu Hongwen, glanced at Shu Hongxuan's side, Shu Hongwen also walked to the eldest brother's side, followed by the second brother and the third brother, and interjected from time to time to ask about the palace test.
Guan coughed lightly, Shu Hongda's voice disappeared suddenly, and everyone looked at Guan.
Guan Shi smiled, looked at Mei's family, and ordered: "Brother Xuan'er came out of the top prize in the exam, and he was awarded the title of the saint, which is a great thing for my Shu family, and the family will be rewarded with three months' silver." ”
Mei Shi responded: "Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." ”
Shu Hongda laughed happily: "Grandmother is so good, I have pocket money again." ”
Before the Shu family brother got married, he had twenty taels of silver every month, and six taels for three months, which was not a small number for Shu Hongda, who was still studying in Tai Academy.
Shu Xiuhe supported Guan Shi and walked to Fushoutang, everyone followed behind, and when they returned to Fushoutang, Guan asked Mei again: "How many sets of spring shirts did Brother Xuan make this season?" He's going to be on a street tomorrow, but he can't be sloppy. ”
It is about the face of the Shu family, and the Guan family attaches great importance to it.
Mei replied with a smile: "Mother rest assured, the brothers have four sets of clothes per season, and the daughter-in-law will never dare to be less." ”
Shu Hongxuan also said with a smile: "Grandmother, don't worry, the four sets of clothes my mother made for me are all excellent." ”
Mei did not make a mistake in this kind of trivial matter, Guan thought in her heart, she nodded, and asked Shu Hongxuan with concern: "Ming'er's rules for street parade, did someone tell you?" ”
Shu Hongxuan smiled, "Chief Manager Cai asked me to wait at the noon gate tomorrow, and there will be eunuchs who will take me and Bangyan and Tanhua into the Taihe Palace. ”
The specific process of the champion street is to go to the Taihe Hall first, and then start from the Taihe Temple, through the Taihe Gate, the Noon Gate, the End Gate, the Chengtian Gate, and finally the left gate of Chang'an.
The main gate of the noon gate, usually only the emperor can enter and exit, when the emperor is married, the queen can enter once, in addition, that is, the three people who are the champions in the palace examination, the list of eyes, and the flowers can go out of this door once.
This is a great honor, and at the same time, it is also a commendation received by the first class, and it is no wonder that the scholars of the world are so fanatically obsessed with the imperial examination.
Shu Yanhua's eyes rolled around, and she said with a smile: "Grandmother, what about my brother's street tour tomorrow, our family doesn't know when we can see it once in such glory, can we go out to see my brother on the street tomorrow?" ”
Guan Shi patted his forehead lightly, and said regretfully: "Yes, yes, Mother Liang, quickly let the housekeeper go to Yanchun Building to book a box." ”
"Slow down, Mother Liang." Shu Yanhua stopped her, looked at Guan Shi again, and said, "Grandmother, I'm afraid that the box in Yanchun Tower was booked by everyone else in advance many days ago, so why don't I order someone to go to Yue Chonglou and let them leave a good box for our family." ”
Yue Chonglou is the restaurant of the Yan family, and it is as famous as Yanchun Lou in Beijing.
Guan thought about it for a while, and felt that what his granddaughter said was reasonable, so he agreed: "Okay, and about your brother's high school champion, remember to tell your grandfather's family." ”
Shu Yanhua responded crisply: "Yes, my granddaughter will send someone." ”
Shu Yanhua gave Qiu'er a look, Qiu'er blessed her body, turned around and walked out of Fushoutang.
The whole family happily finished dinner, and Guan also asked Shu Hongxuan to go back early to rest, and tomorrow Shu Hongxuan will make an official appearance in front of Quan Shangjing, and it is not good to stay up late.
As for the gold and silver jewelry that Emperor Chengde rewarded Shu Hongxuan, Shu Hongxuan also took out some of it to honor the Guan family, the Mei family, and the Jiang family.
And the rest, he gave all the rest to his sister, Shu Yanhua also happily put it away, ready to wait for his brother to marry his sister-in-law, as a dowry. Among the dowry, there are royal gifts, which is a great thing to admire.
Back at Baiyu Jinxuan, Shu Yanhua's steps were brisk, she didn't know what song she was humming in her mouth, and Mother Qi smiled softly when she saw her like this: "Brother Xuan has a chance, just wait for your brothers and sisters to have a good marriage, each of them has children, and the house is full of children and grandchildren. ”
Hearing this, Shu Yanhua turned around and looked at Qi's mother with a smile, with a hint of naughtiness, "Mom, these are not enough, it's almost, my mother will be happy under Jiuquan." ”
I have to send Shu Xiuhe and Mei down again, and my mother will really be blinded.
Mother Qi smiled, "What's missing?" ”
Shu Yanhua waved her hand playfully, "I won't tell you." ”
"This kid..."Qi's mother smiled dotingly.
......
Early the next morning, Shu Hongxuan was sent to the noon gate by Shu Xiuhe and Shu Second Uncle, and waited until the eunuchs in the palace came out to pick up the people, and the rest of the Shu family cleaned up, changed into new clothes, and rushed to Yue Chonglou together.
As soon as the carriage of the Shu family stopped at Yue Chonglou, Yue Chonglou's shopkeeper Yan greeted him, greeted Guan Shi and the others first, and respectfully addressed Shu Yanhua: "Miss, you are here." ”
Shu Yanhua responded with a smile: "Shopkeeper Yan doesn't have to be polite, our family is here to see my brother today." ”
Shopkeeper Yan personally guided the Guan family and his party: "Yes, we all know about Young Master Xuan, and we have left a private room for you to rise step by step." ”
After all, the shopkeeper Yan is the shopkeeper of a restaurant, and the Guan's, Mei's and others will not surrender their identities to answer him, but Shu Yanhua didn't look down on him, and replied: "Good intentions!" Thank you, Mr. Yan. ”
"Mrs. Shu, Mrs. Hou, Mrs. Shu, this is rising step by step, there is a little second guard outside the door, if you need anything, just ask someone, the owner has instructed you, and your expenses will be free today." The shopkeeper Yan knows how to read people's eyes, and only briefly explained that he would not stay in the box, so as not to provoke the eyes of Guan and others.
Shu Yanhua didn't ask Yan's shopkeeper's grandfather's family, Qiu'er had already reported to her yesterday, and now Yan's family is also watching her brother in the box full of gold and jade in Yue Chonglou.
She knew that the Shu family, including the Guan family, didn't like the Yan family, and Shu Xiuhe also regarded the Yan family as a fat and tender rabbit, ready to pounce on it to hunt at any time, and she wouldn't mention the Yan family much in front of the Shu family until she and her brother had the strength to protect the Yan family.
Soon Shu Xiuhe and Second Uncle Shu also came to the box, and at this time the street was already crowded with people, all of whom were ordinary people from Beijing, all of whom came out to see the champion and explore the flowers.
About half an hour later, there was a commotion at the end of the street, Shu Yanhua was excited, firmly occupying the window lattice, and looking at the street without blinking.
"It's coming, it's coming! Champions, they're here! There was a shout from the crowd, and the people in the street were boiling.
