Chapter 228
)
The results came out, and Xiaohu was even more nervous than San Lang. /top/ Rushing into the crowd is a mess, Saburo stood behind the crowd with some certainty and some expectation.
"Hey, it's the fourteenth place in the second class. Not bad, yes, very good results, you are at least one of the best results in Rongcheng. Xiaohu was very excited, but San Lang pulled Xiaohu out of the crowd with an expressionless face.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Xiaohu feels very weird, is San Lang too happy and stupid?
Saburo suddenly covered his face with his hands and refused to look up for a long time. Xiaohu understood at this time, and after half a sound, Saburo took a deep breath. smiled and said to Xiaohu: "Now that the results have come out, then I have to visit a few of my gentlemen." After the visit, we can go home. ”
Xiaohu saw that Saburo did not become as crazy as he imagined, and he was relieved: "Don't rush home first, it's better to wait for your position to come down." ”
San Lang knew that Xiaohu's intention was to delay it for a day, and when he thought that he himself was involuntarily, he couldn't help but feel irritable again.
Xiaohu doesn't like to go to visit those pedantic officials with Saburo, and only goes to those fox friends to play with every day. Eating and drinking with others, listening to some business-oriented arguments also feels quite comfortable.
"I had a gentleman who appreciated me and suggested that I go out to a remote place and become a county magistrate. Although the conditions are not as good as those in the capital, it will be easier than in the capital if you want to make a difference. "San Lang's original intention was also to stay in the capital as the best, and he would have more opportunities to climb up at the feet of the Son of Heaven.
"There are so many officials in the capital, and a second-grade official position is not a big person in the capital. If such a person is out there, it is quite a powerful character. This is the reason why at the feet of the Son of Heaven, you have to think clearly about the head of the chicken or the tail of the phoenix. "Xiaohu's metaphor is very appropriate, the head of the chicken or the tail of the phoenix has been a difficult choice since ancient times.
"Sir said the same thing, and after thinking about it for a few days, I decided to let it out. So my husband wrote me a letter of recommendation, and my boss happened to be his classmate. It's in Songjiang Mansion, not particularly far from Qingzhou, but. ”
As soon as San Lang said this, Xiaohu began to be very happy, and when he heard the meaning of San Lang's words, he also understood: "You are worried that both of you brothers have left their hometowns." What should parents do if they don't know what to do? ”
Oops, do you want to stay together? San Lang didn't know what to do, the so-called parents are not far away, and the three brothers are not by their parents' side, it really can't be said.
Xiaohu followed San Lang in the capital for a few days, but he didn't figure it out. When he was about to go home, Saburo received a notice that he would immediately go to Matsue Prefecture to take office.
Thinking that he had already received his letter at home, San Lang entrusted Xiaohu to make it clear, packed his luggage and went to work in a daze.
Xiaohu had mixed feelings, originally thinking that he could hide for a few days with the help of San Lang's affairs. Now that the people are gone, they have to go home.
"What? Got in office so soon? Oops, went so far. I don't know if it's a place where birds don't. The old lady pulled her face, and her brows were tangled together like a pimple.
"Why didn't you spend some money to be accommodating and find an official in the capital? If you stay in the capital as an official, say how majestic it is. "When I remembered that day when I came to report the good news, everyone was very envious.
The old couple also deliberately returned to the countryside majestically, and went to the grave to thank their ancestors for their blessings. Thinking of the envious eyes of those people in the village, Mrs. Zhang is still very proud.
"I don't know what to do, people who want to come to the capital are used to seeing money. We think that our family has a lot of money, but in the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary rich and noble family. Besides, this official position is given by the imperial court, how can we ordinary people say that we will go wherever we go! Xiaohu pursed his lips, unable to get used to Mrs. Zhang's self-righteous appearance now.
"It is said that the candles in the cave room are inscribed on the gold list. I think this good thing has to be done one after another, since San Lang is also a good one. Let's hurry up and set up a family affair for her, and let me worry. ”
Mrs. Zhang did not forget her son's marriage, and the repetition of the old story surprised everyone. San Lang is also a person with status and status now, so the old lady shouldn't still be thinking about Gui Zhi's business.
"Old woman, are you still thinking about Gui Zhina?" Old man Zhang doesn't want his son to marry such a person, no matter how you say it, you have to be a good person, right?
"What's the matter, I've already made an appointment with her mother. Why, you still want to regret it, I can't marry my son anymore? Mrs. Zhang was not happy, and scolded with her eyes. Now that she is the prefect's mother-in-law, who dares to take her?
"Just like Guizhi, can you be the prefect's wife? You are not afraid of losing San Lang's face, tsk, the wife and lady of the official family are together, what do you want Guizhi to do? ”
Although Old Man Zhang didn't have much knowledge, he couldn't see that Gui Zhi had that ability. Mrs. Zhang was unhappy: "If there is anything you can't go, isn't it just eating and drinking tea?" It's just blowing, and when the time comes, let Gui Zhi learn. Xiaohu couldn't help but say: "Even if you get married, you have to come back with San Lang." Isn't it a bit early for you to say this? ”
"It's not early, it's not early. Can't you wait until he comes back from vacation? Can we send Gui Zhi over, well, I see that I will accompany Gui Zhi. Hehe, wouldn't it be beautiful for me to help Guizhi as a housekeeper when the time comes. The more I thought about Mrs. Zhang, the happier I became, and imagined that one day the imperial court would issue an edict to give herself a decree, and she would be content in this life.
Xiaohu was silent, lowered his head and drank tea, thinking that it would be right to quickly inform San Lang. Old Man Zhang sneered: "Just you? Hey, hey, you can't come to Fengjiabao alone from Rongcheng. Still thinking about going to Matsue Mansion? Are you taking Guizhi with you, or is Guizhi taking you with you? Do you know the way? It's really not that I'm talking about you, you know that you dream every day. ”
was said by the old man with a big red face, and Mrs. Zhang was silent. After a while, he said loudly: "Anyway, I don't care, we have already exchanged Geng posts in private." This marriage has already been decided, so I quickly wrote a letter to San Lang, and came back to marry and take away her daughter-in-law. I'm relieved. ”
Such a big thing was done behind the back of Mr. Zhang and San Lang, and the angry old man Zhang shook his hand and left. Xiaohu secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that San Lang could save the day this time.
I also feel that I am really pitiful, and I don't have the love of my mother. Looking at Saburo's state now, it is not necessarily a good thing to have a mother who loves him too much.
It is said that San Lang and Dong Xiaoman almost received a letter from the front and back, Dong Xiaoman was stunned, and San Lang was angry.
"Mother, what's going on at home?" Zhu'er saw Dong Xiaoman holding the family letter, and was stunned and silent, thinking that it was a big deal.
"But the body of the family?" Zhu'er was a little worried, after all, her grandparents were old, and the adults were not at home.
"No, it was your grandmother who betrothal Saburo was privately engaged. It's the cousin named Guizhi I told you, and Saburo is now a prefect. Hey, I don't know what your grandmother thinks. The relationship between officials is complicated. The family members also have close contacts, Gui Zhi I have seen, and he is an honest and responsible person. But he can't read and write, he hasn't seen the world, and he still doesn't deserve Saburo. Dong Xiaoman was very worried about San Lang, and saw the family letter written by Lierya: "The old lady of the Wang family has set up a marriage for Xiaohu, and the wedding day is coming." ”
Thinking about this, I didn't know whether I should tell Zhu'er or not, but I only heard Zhu'er sigh: "The third uncle is so pitiful, and the family is too tight." ”
"It's not just him, Xiaohu's grandmother is going to find him a daughter-in-law. It is said that if you are fat, ugly and dark, you have a good temperament. Now regardless of Xiaohu's opposition, he is ready, just waiting for the good day and auspicious day to pick up the bride to pass through the door. Dong Xiaoman knew a little that Lu Daozhu'er and Xiaohu were showing signs of resurgence, but he was not too sure whether such an ancient person could accept a second marriage.
As expected, Zhu'er's face changed suddenly. Taking a deep breath, Zhu'er forced a smile and said, "This is also a good thing, Xiaohu is not young, and he should have started a family a long time ago." It was too late for his grandmother to hurt him, how could he marry someone like that. ”
Dong Xiaoman shook the letter in his hand: "This is what Erya said personally, could it be fake?" Besides, Xiaohu's mother was also peerless back then. With her temperament, it is impossible for him to marry a beautiful and unreassuring woman at home. ”
"Mother, when are you going back?" Zhu'er asked suddenly, Dong Xiaoman was stunned for a moment, and thought: You have become too fast. Don't you like Xiaohu, or are you too careful?
Although Zhu'er actually has some fantasies in her heart, she still knows her identity. How can a woman who has been divorced by herself still have results with Xiaohu. It's just that now that there is no one else, I sometimes forget those things in the past. Now, the matter is in front of me, and I have to force myself to admit it.
"I'll pack up and go tomorrow. Can't you go back? Erlang's side must not work, why don't you go back with me? Dong Xiaoman was very disobedient, and he was very reluctant to let Zhu'er go back. It was another catastrophe, and it was best for Jewel to leave there and never go.
"Forget it, what kind of person am I? It can be said that it is unlucky to participate in other people's marriages. I'm still the head of Liu's family, three younger siblings, who do you want to take with you? Zhu'er shook her head, she secretly swore that if she didn't mix up, she would definitely not appear in her hometown.
"Jue'er. Huanhuan didn't like her grandmother in the first place, and Wei'er was too young. Jue'er, as the eldest son of our house, should still be brought back. Dong Xiaoman also wants to exercise Jue'er, and after a while, he will go away to study alone. Take this opportunity to exercise his adaptability and ability to deal with things.
This San Lang's book, I don't know how Lu Dao told Huang Shanshan. As soon as Huang Shanshan entered the door, she saw San Lang holding the letter, and she didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking.
"Brother Jie, what are you doing?" The yellow bird's voice sounded in his ears, and the letter in his hand was pulled away by a pair of slender jade hands.
Huang Shanshan quickly scanned the letter, looked up and smiled embarrassedly: "I heard that it was a family letter, and seeing that your face was ugly, I thought something big had happened." ”
San Lang said apologetically: "I told you before, but I didn't expect my mother to be so anxious. ”
Huang Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled: "What's so difficult about this?" I'll go with you to make sure all your worries are gone. ”
