Chapter 149: The Golden Toad That Night
When Old Man Zhu came out of the house after changing the still wet green cloth, the official who was announcing the good news outside had already approached.
Outside the door, the sound of artillery rang out.
"Hurry up, Uncle Zhu, hurry up, get ready, there is a cannon battle outside" The villagers listened to the approach of the officials outside, and couldn't help but hurriedly urge.
Then, the villagers helped to clean up in the yard, cleaned and sprinkled water, arranged tables and chairs, and set up a table of fruits, peanuts and melon seeds brought from home, but waited for the official messenger to come in.
"Hurry up, the third family, you go to the second family's house to get some money and come over to prepare red envelopes for others, and the family money is sent to the boss." When Mrs. Zhu was about to celebrate the money, she found that the money was not enough to get red envelopes, so she couldn't help urging the third family to go to Zhu Ping'an's house to get some money to deal with the urgency.
"Old sister, everyone has arrived at the door, there is enough time, I still have some here, you use it first."
"I have that too."
"And me"
The villagers grabbed the money they were carrying and handed it to Mrs. Zhu, and asked her to wrap red envelopes for people to reward.
As soon as he was ready, he made way for the people in the courtyard, and the officials in black and red clothes entered the Zhu family's old house.
"Congratulations, congratulations to the head of the children's examination of Master Zhu High School in your mansion, and the student officer has appointed Master Zhu's ⊕∽⊕∽,mc$om"
"Congratulations to the first place in your Mansion Master Zhu High School, and in the future, it will be connected to the three yuan, and the good news will be spread frequently"
"Congratulations, congratulations, old man, old lady, there is a noble son in the family. Wealth is coming. ”
The officials who came to report the good news were all good-eyed and eloquent, and entered the old house of the Zhu family. Just two eyes recognized who was Master Zhu's family, and stepped forward to congratulate with a smile on his face.
Listen to the words of the good tidings. The people of Xiahe Village admired it one after another, no wonder these bad men could not be in the county, look at what people said, why wouldn't we.
"Joy and joy" Old man Zhu was as happy as if he had drunk half a catty of old wine, arched his hand in return, and was already incoherent, "Old woman, hurry, hurry." It is not easy to send happy money to others, and it is not easy for people to come from afar. ”
Mrs. Zhu seemed to be more than ten years younger, and with a smile on her face, she handed the prepared red envelope to the messenger who reported the good news.
"Hehe, thank you, old lady, don't worry, don't worry, when we read out the good news, you can put the good news away. This is a great joy for the glory of the ancestors. The official holding the red paper was not in a hurry to receive the red envelope, and it was not too late to read out the good news before receiving the red envelope.
"It's okay, it's reasonable" Old Man Zhu nodded again and again, smiling from ear to ear.
"Congratulations to your lord Zhu Ping'an Zhu, who is now the governor of Nanzhili and the study of politics. The middle school is the first talent in the Anqing Mansion Examination, which is characterized by Huaining County students and township test Lianjie. ”
The official holding the red paper unfolded the red paper and the good news. It was read out with emotion.
After reading it, the official was surprised to find that the whole courtyard suddenly fell silent. The old man who was smiling from ear to ear on the other side also closed his mouth at this time, not knowing what he was muttering to himself.
What's wrong
How did the family have such a long reflex arc
It was fine just now
How to read the good news. But it seems to be a joyful fool. Oh, yes, it may be that he was shocked when he heard the scholar, or it may be that the unexpected surprise of the student made him too surprised, after all, the Yamen gives four taels of silver every year, not to mention benefits such as rice, flour, and oil.
How did the official who reported the good news know that the 10,000 grass and mud horses in Old Man Zhu's heart were whistling, and he thought that the talented old man's father was stupid with joy.
The courtyard was quiet for a few seconds before someone whispered.
"Mistaken"
Got it wrong?
Hearing this, the official who read out the good news on the red paper hurriedly looked down at the good news, read it word by word, and didn't read any of the words wrong, how could it be wrong, and he practiced several times on the way.
"Wrong, mistaken."
The voices in the courtyard came and went
The official blushed and read the good news again, that's right! Well, it's not like we're all working together to joke with us, it's too interesting for the people of Xiahe Village
"That's wrong, they split up, this is Zhu Shouren's family, Zhu Ping'an is his nephew, Zhu Ping'an's family was passing by just now"
Yes?
The official was stunned, did he go to the wrong door?
In fact, I don't blame them, thinking about Huaining County, where the Tianfu post guard changed three fast horses overnight, the time was in a hurry, and Huaining County was far away from Xiahe Village, and the official in charge of the issuance didn't expect Zhu Ping'an to be a young man.
If it is from the town to report the good news, it will not be mistaken, but the people from the county will inevitably make some mistakes, and they are also misled by the villagers, and so on A series of factors, such a mistake occurred.
At this time, at the door of Zhu Ping'an's house, Chen looked at the lively old mansion from a distance, and entered the house with an insole in frustration, out of sight and out of mind
He is an uncle
God must have stared at him for a while before he let this kind of person take advantage of the loophole
Chen was upset, and he was not in the mood to continue to accept the soles of his shoes when he entered the yard, and was ready to go back to his room to rest for a while.
As soon as Chen entered the room and sat on the bed, he heard the sound of blowing and beating outside.
And there's more!
So, Chen couldn't help frowning again.
What a show!
It's just that what makes Chen even more depressed is that the sound of blowing and beating seems to have entered the courtyard, and even the firecrackers feel like they are being set off outside the gate.
What is the old mansion for, there is no need to show off like this, is it the sister-in-law's idea?
This is because he didn't go to the old mansion to congratulate, thinking about his own virtue, Chen gritted his teeth and counted a hundred Wen from the bedside, wrapped it in a handkerchief, and prepared to give a congratulatory gift, saving people to block the door!
Chen had just gone out from the back room when he saw a lot of people coming from the courtyard.
"Oh, second sister-in-law, congratulations, I just said that I had a dream on the day of the exam, saying that a golden toad jumped up and down to your house, let people calculate a hexagram, and said that Yu'er designated a high school, sure enough, Yu'er is fighting for luck, no, high school, or the first place."
The little fourth aunt took Chen's hand first, and congratulated her, looking like a good woman.
On the other side, the eldest aunt who was coerced by everyone watched the golden toad jump into my house
"Congratulations to the mother"
"Congratulations to the second family, you are safe and really angry."
"When I was a child, I saw that your family was not an ordinary person"
Chen was stunned for a while before he reacted, this is, this is a mistake just now, the second elementary school in high school is his own second elementary school, not his uncle
As a result, Chen's frowning brows suddenly relaxed, the unhappiness in his heart was suddenly refreshed, and the loss on his face suddenly became a bright and beautiful smile.
"Where, my second child is just lucky"
Chen said very modestly, but that pride can't be hidden (to be continued...... u
