After the county test, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the old lady of the Zhang family was in a very good mood.

After the county trial list, all the students on the list will gather to go to the banquet hosted by Nie County, and this banquet will be set in Zhangjia's Guanjing Mountain, which is called "cherry blossom banquet" to the outside world.

The name "Cherry Blossom Banquet" is also a name that the Zhang family has carefully considered, and its origin is naturally based on the Luming Banquet.

For scholars, the biggest thing in life is the candle night in the cave room, and the second is when the gold list is inscribed, the deer banquet where people are raised and children gather is a banquet given by the imperial court to celebrate, representing great glory.

The deer banquet is generally in September, and September is the season when the osmanthus is fragrant, so the deer banquet is also called the "osmanthus banquet", and now Xinhe County wants to hold the "cherry blossom banquet", its meaning is self-evident.

The banquet is an honor for the students, it is an encouragement, the boy test county test has just begun, and there are still two levels after the county test to get the qualification of the student, and the cherry blossom banquet in Xinhe County is naturally the main factor of encouragement.

Of course, there is also one thing that is the focus of attention in the "Cherry Blossom Banquet", that is, the county trial case, and the county trial case is the first to receive attention, not only because the Zhang family has a reward of 1,000 taels of silver.

What's more important is that the head of the county test will inevitably be able to pass the government test and the hospital test, which is almost a sure thing, and it is an unspoken rule of convention, that is to say, the first Xiucai County test in Xinhe County can be revealed after the first Xiucai County test!

Three days after the county test, the list was released, and on the day of the list, the cross street was crowded, and the Zhang family's "cherry blossom banquet" had been prepared, and the old lady made a request to Hua Hanyun, that is, the banquet must be held according to the best standards.

The first few cases prepared by Hua Hanyun were a little old, and the old lady was not satisfied after reading them, so Cui Da paid the silver and bought new ones.

The old lady was in good spirits, Hua Hanyun came to the old lady's side and said, "Ancestor, don't you work personally, can't I do this little thing?" You always keep your heart in your stomach, and I'll take care of it. ”

Mother Zhang smiled and said, "Sister Hua'er is naturally relieved to do things, but with such a big event today, I can't sit still in the yard, and I feel comfortable when I come out to take a turn!" ”

Hua Hanyun said again: "Ancestor, I have the rest of the arrangements for the banquet in my heart, but for a few banquets, Brother Zheng and Brother Hao have had an unpleasant quarrel, if you ...... today"

"Okay, Han Yun, don't worry about it, where is the surname Lu likely to be on the list? If he is on the list, our Zhang family's sows will be able to climb the tree! The old lady snorted coldly and said.

Hua Hanyun was slightly stunned, laughed with her, and the old lady waved her hand and said, "Okay, you are busy first, I heard that some people outside are arguing, it should be the list, and the person who reported the good news came to the door!" ”

The old lady left, Hua Hanyun muttered in her heart, she was very keen, on the day the old lady got sick, Zhang Chengxi came over and said a few words to the old lady, the old lady was sick, and Hua Hanyun felt strange in her heart at that time.

And listening to the old lady's words today, her old man knows the county test list very well? Before the list was released, her old man knew about it, this is too powerful, right? Can she be sure that Lu Zheng is not on the list?

Hua Hanyun had something hidden in her heart, and she was a little absent-minded when she was working, and the big housekeeper Cui Da was directing people to work next to her, Hua Hanyun leaned over and said:

"The big housekeeper, our old lady is really powerful now, she is clear about the county trial list, no wonder the old lady is so strict, the big housekeeper wants to know a lot of inside information, right?"

Cui Da smiled faintly and said, "What does the second grandmother want to know?" If you want to know about Brother Zheng'er, the old slave may not be able to say it, the old lady has said that everyone has a life to manage, there is a fate, and there is no fate, and the old slave also wants to know, but he knows that it is useless to think more. ”

Hua Hanyun frowned, glanced at Cui Da deeply, and secretly scolded the old thing, but his expression remained unchanged at all. She suddenly thought of the Jade Mountain at this time, and at this time, the willows on the Jade Mountain were probably also eager to pierce it, right?

Hua Hanyun returned to Qiugui Garden, and as soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Jing, she couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Oh, isn't this the second master?" What kind of wind is this blowing the second master? ”

Zhang Jing coughed embarrassedly, rubbed his hands vigorously and said, "It's going to be released soon, I rushed back to see Brother Zheng'er's good news!" ”

Hua Hanyun frowned and said, "Hmph, Brother Zheng?" He's not playing! ”

"Impossible!" Zhang Jing tugged at his neck and said: "Brother Zheng is not playing, so don't put on the cherry blossom banquet of our family." ”

"Don't you believe it?" Hua Hanyun raised her eyebrows: "Believe it or not!" Too lazy to talk to you. ”

Zhang Jing said: "Good sister, don't be angry, or let's go directly to the old lady's yard, at this time the list will definitely start to be released, I just heard someone beat the gong!" ”

As Zhang Jing spoke, he heard the sound of the gong, and then heard a commotion, a noisy sound, and someone could be heard shouting at the top of his voice: "Brother Zhen is on the list!" ”

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows and said, "It's Zhang Zhen's kid, hey, I didn't expect this kid to be able to do it!" Zhang Jing spoke, and walked towards the old lady's yard, and Hua Hanyun also subconsciously followed her.

In fact, not only them, but the entire Zhang family who heard the sound of the gong rushed to the old lady's courtyard to release the imperial examination, which is a great joy!

The old lady's courtyard was crowded with people, not only the wives, grandmothers, and girls came, but Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei also arrived, and the Zhang family's brother Zhang Haoran and others were even more present, as well as Wu Fu Wu was entrusted by Lord Nie to supervise the preparation of the "Cherry Blossom Banquet" in the Zhang family today, and was also invited to the courtyard by Zhang Chengxi and the old lady.

Several people who came to announce the good news had gongs in their hands, and they struck them all the way, until the old lady's yard stopped the sound of gongs, and then began to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Zhangjia Zhang Zhen ranked fifty-sixth in the county exam, and he is on the list!" The annunciation shouted Zhang Zhen's name, and firecrackers were immediately set off outside.

Zhang Zhen was surrounded by everyone in the middle, and a big red flower was hung on his chest, like a groom official, seeing his face full of joy, he almost fainted with joy.

The old lady smiled from ear to ear, raised her hand and said, "Look at the reward!" ”

Cui Da immediately presented the prepared silver, and there were as many as ten taels per person, and the group of people who reported the good news were also happy to take the silver, and said a lot of compliments one by one.

The atmosphere in the courtyard is very festive and harmonious, among the children of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhen's talent is the worst, he is on the list, and Zhang Tang and Tian Zepeng are still sure? Now the suspense is whether Tian Zepeng can get the head of the case!

At this time, the list has come out, and the results will be revealed soon, and ordinary readers are rushing to the cross street of Zhang Bang at this time, but a big family like the Zhang family is about generosity.

What's the happy event, others rushed over to report the good news, that is the reward silver, the Zhang family is so generous, the people who report the good news are not rushing?

Zhang Tang was already eager to try, and he didn't let him wait too long, the gong came again, and a few people rushed all the way from the door with the gong knocking, and the door that led the way spread his feet and ran, eager to prop up his legs!

A group of people ran to the old lady's yard, and the leader reported again: "Congratulations, congratulations, Zhangjia Zhang Tang ranks forty-eighth in the county examination, and is on the list!" ”

"Bell, bell!"

Two more gongs sounded, Zhang Tang was surrounded by everyone in the middle, this kid was more excited than Zhang Zhen, dancing and shouting: "I'm on the list, I'm on the list!" It looked like he had hysteria. ”

However, at this time, everyone didn't care about those small sections, the old lady was too happy and gave the reward, she stood up and waved at Zhang Tang and Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Tang walked up to her, she grabbed one in one hand, and said, "My good grandson, today is the lintel of our Zhang family!" ”

Zhang Baoyi said beside him: "Grandmother, someone will come over to report the good news later!" Cousin Tian's good news hasn't arrived yet! ”

Zhang Baoyi said that Tian Zepeng, a look of extreme excitement appeared on her face, and Zhang's mother also nodded, and said: "It seems that my Zhang family's first reward is the master today, if Zepeng can get a show, I will immediately agree to the Tian family's marriage letter!" ”

As soon as Zhang's mother said this, Tian Zepeng, who had already rushed over, instantly showed great excitement on his face, and the old lady's words meant that his marriage with Zhang Baoyi was completed.

In the Dakang Dynasty, the marriage ceremony between men and women was more complicated, first there was a marriage contract, then a bride price, a marriage book, and finally a marriage.

Although the Zhang family and the Tian family have a marriage contract, the Tian family's family is relatively poor, and the bride price will hurt the dignity of the Zhang family.

What the Tian family is worried about now is this matter, the old lady will take away all the troubles of the Tian family with a word now, as long as Tian Zepeng gets the case today, everything he wants will be there.

The old lady's words caused everyone in the Zhang family to cheer together, Zhang Baoyi's face was flushed, but she was also happy. Zhang Chengxi smiled reservedly, and was a little proud while being happy.

This time the county test was carried out according to his will after all, although there were some hiccups in the middle, especially Wu Fu caused him a lot of trouble, but the result was satisfactory.

He turned his head and glanced at Wu Fu, and said, "Lord Wu, you have to drink a few cups of cherry blossom banquet tonight, and the county test Lord Wu has personally grasped every detail, and it has been hard work." Are you satisfied with the results? ”

Wu Fupi said with a smile: "Then it depends on whether Lord Zhang is satisfied or not, if Lord Zhang is satisfied, we may not be satisfied, and if the Zhang family is not satisfied, we may be satisfied." In the world, everyone can't be satisfied, Lord Zhang, isn't that the truth? ”

"Haha!" Zhang Chengxi laughed and said, "Lord Wu, I am very satisfied today!" ”

Wu Fu still had the same dead face, and said lightly: "Lord Zhang, is it too early to say?" ”

Zhang Chengxi shook his head and said, "It's not early, everything is already under control!" I heard that Lord Wu is very optimistic about the kid surnamed Lu, but unfortunately, the result may disappoint Lord Wu, this kid surnamed Lu is named Sun Shan! ”
