At two o'clock, the family sent people to wait for the list, Meng Ming was still cultivating at home, and finally his father and mother also went out to see the list, when Meng Ming and other places were irritable, he only heard his father rushing in and told me loudly: "Ming'er, you have hit, and you have won the first case, Ming'er, the song you wrote is really good, the county said that once it comes out here, it will be spread in all directions and widely sung." Hey, the stinky boy is quite talented." Then he said: "I will come to roll call and announce the good news later, I will prepare some happy money, and I have to entertain the neighbors and drink happy wine." At this time, Meng Ming's mother also came, dancing, and finally went to work with his father, but Mr. Li did not come.

After a while, I heard the sound of gongs and drums outside the door, and the voices of people were boiling, which was very operational. Meng Ming got up to look, only to see several officials shouting: "Congratulations to Meng Langjun on the head of the high school case, and I have come to congratulate you on the roll call." "There are layers of people in the back, and most of the neighborhoods are there. His father was busy handing out wedding money to the officials, and sent people to Yuebin Building to buy a banquet and have fun with the neighbors. The neighbors all went into the front yard to help, set up tables and stools, and carried and moved, and the scene was a little chaotic and very lively. The official left, the table filled the front yard, and the food from Yuebin Building was also delivered, and it was discounted. Please take a seat, and then the feast will begin, and the crowd will be full of voices.

Suddenly, a group of people came in at the door, and they saw that it was Wei Zhizhou and Liang Zhixian, both of whom were wearing civilian clothes, and each of them brought gifts, Wei Zhizhou was a bronze paperweight, and Liang Zhixian was an inkstone. Meng Ming's father originally left a main table to prepare, now it came in handy, after the two sat down, Dad sat on the lower left, Meng Ming sat on the lower right, and now I learned that Zhizhou's name is Wei Zhongping, thirty-three years old, the character Yuanhe, Yuzhang person, Dazhong Xiangfu three years Jinshi, Wei Zhizhou's official fortune is prosperous, and now the official residence is five products, and he is about to be promoted. The county is called Liang Qiming, the word Daguan, a native of Anqiu, Mizhou, thirty years old, Dazhong Xiangfu eight years of Jinshi, the official residence from the sixth grade, is also about to be promoted. During the banquet, Lord Wei told me a piece of news: "The imperial court intends to move my family to Tokyo, move into the household register, arrange the mansion, and confer honors, knighthoods, and official positions. Meng Ming's father was overjoyed, although it was difficult to leave his homeland, but everyone went to a high place. Now it's time to get everything in order at home: shops, fields, and houses have to be arranged, and you have to come up with a charter as soon as possible. Mr. Wei said that before I went to Tokyo, I would take the state exam, and the state exam would be held in half a month.

The state test began, and Meng Ming passed it unsurprisingly, and he was still the head of the case. It is the smallest case leader on Jingdong East Road since the Great Song Jianshuo, anyway, it is a show, and Meng Ming's father also passed the state test to become a showman. The hometown got the letter, and a large family under the grandfather came from the hometown, Meng Ming's house was full of people, and Uncle Xiang's family also lived some. This time, Meng Ming's grandmother also came, and Meng Ming has not seen his grandmother until now, but he has a vague impression. A large family went to Yuebin Building to eat, the family could not sit down, there were three tables there, a table for men, a table for women, and a table for children (served by Qiu Ge), as Meng Ming's teacher, Mr. Li's family also came. Grandpa sits in the main seat, Mr. Li sits on the left, uncle sits on the right, Meng Ming's father and second uncle sit in turn, Meng Ming next to Mr. Li, the cousin and cousin below, Uncle Xiang is facing grandpa, sitting at the bottom. Grandpa picked up the wine and said: "Today is a big day, the second child and Brother Ming have been admitted to Xiucai, there are four Xiucai in our family, there will be people in the future, our old Meng family is going to prosper, everyone drank this glass of wine to celebrate" and drank it all. Everybody's done it. Then the grandfather toasted Mr. Li, and everyone immediately toasted Mr. Li, only to see that Mr. Li was drunk and confused. Be happy today, try to drink and not be afraid to get drunk. I was drinking happily, when I suddenly heard someone downstairs shouting: "Is the Meng case chief's family here, there is a holy decree at home, please go home to receive the decree." Everyone was stunned, except for Meng Ming's family and Mr. Li's family who knew what was going on, everyone else didn't know. Meng Ming's father and mother rushed away, and Meng Ming followed closely behind.

Not far from home, I saw that the front of Meng Ming's house was crowded with people, and there were two people standing in front of the door holding yellow signs with the words "Qincha" written on them. Liang Zhixian was waiting in front of the door, and when he saw my Meng Ming's family, he hurriedly waved his hand to signal them to hurry up, and finally squeezed into the door, only to see an incense case in the courtyard, covered with yellow silk, and a eunuch in a blue-gray robe stood there, Wei Zhizhou accompanied him, and when he saw people coming, he took out the holy decree and preached loudly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: There is Meng Ming of the Beihai people, found and presented the auspicious Rui of the immortal world, God bless the Great Song Dynasty, God bless the people, for the immortal merit, hereby commended, Feng Meng Ming Beihai Hou, hereditary replacement, give the emperor a village, 2,000 acres of fertile land, 1,000 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver; Awarded the six products of the court Fenglang, Shouchun County Wang accompanied the reading, the right Sinong Temple; Feng his father Meng Cheng is seven products of Xuande Lang, his mother Meng Teng's gift is pleasant, and his teacher Li Youwei is from the seven products of Xuan Fenglang; His grandfather Meng Xianfeng was from the eighth grade of Fenglang, so that Meng Ming's family could enter the Beijing face saint and Qin Cha. Meng Ming's family hurriedly thanked him for receiving the order, and gave the eunuch a hundred taels of silver tickets, this eunuch's name is Li Wei, who is in his twenties, and he has been more polite since he received the silver tickets. He smiled and said to me: "Marquis Meng, give you ten days to deal with household chores, and the imperial court has sent four carriages and twenty knights to escort you. Meng Ming was polite with him, and secretly stuffed a hundred taels of silver tickets into his sleeve, and his smile became even stronger.

During this time, my father was busy dealing with things outside the house, and my mother packed up the soft and money. Meng Ming's father also told his grandfather about this as it was, but he didn't tell them at that time because he wasn't sure if it was auspicious or not, and he had to verify it, but now that the official family has approved it, he can tell the truth. Grandpa took my hand and said lovingly: "Ming'er has suffered, and you alone will glorify your ancestors and make the old Meng family prosperous." Grandpa also stained your light, grandpa thank you". During this period, the uncle's expression was unnatural, and the aunt's expression was even more unnatural, and she didn't dare to show it too much. Meng Ming's father divided the potatoes and sweet potatoes into four portions, gave them to his grandfather and uncle, and told them how to plant them, and then they tried to plant them next year. Meng Ming's father brought up the fifty acres of fertile land occupied by Uncle Xiang and asked the uncle to solve it, and finally the uncle obediently returned the field. Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xiang went to Meng Ming's house to thank them.

After all, it is not easy to live in Tokyo, and it should be sold and converted into cash and cash. The 100 acres of fertile land in the hometown were also sold, 10 taels per mu were sold, 50 acres were sold to the second uncle, and 50 acres were sold to Uncle Xiang; The house is not sold, and when I come back to save my relatives in the future, I have to have a place to live, so I will let Uncle Xiang take care of it and Aunt Yang will take care of it. The grain and oil shop was sold to the boss of the grain merchant Zhu in the south of the city at a price of 1,300 taels. Wang Gui and Li Yi's family are not involved, and they want to go to Tokyo with them; The maid Qiu Ge's family has a large population, and the family does not accept it, so she also follows. Meng Ming also persuaded Mr. Li's family to go to Tokyo together, and Mr. Li was also an official person.
