PS. Present today's update, by the way, pull a vote for the "starting point" 515 fan festival, everyone has 8 votes, and the vote will also give the starting point coin, kneel and beg everyone to support and appreciate!

Fujian's township examination ended on August 16, and the marking meeting lasted until the end of August, and the announcement of the list was in mid-September. ∷∷，

Candidates waiting in Fuzhou City will be the first to know whether they are admitted, and the list will be sent out of the Gongyuan Courtyard with yellow silk pavilions and drum music honor guards, and posted outside the yamen of the political envoys.

On the second day of the announcement of the laurel list, a deer banquet will be held, and the candidates of the middle court will meet with the inner curtain and the outer curtain officials to have a banquet, which is regarded as a friendship between teachers and students, singing deer poems and dancing the Kui Xing dance.

Regardless of whether the candidate has known that he or she has been selected, the political envoy will send the list to the locality, first to the state capital where the candidate is registered, and then to the county.

The political envoy first delivered it as soon as possible in the nature of an official document, and then sent someone to personally deliver it with the big red annunciation document. At the state level, newspapers will also be sent to the localities, and the county will naturally be no exception.

In this way, a three-level good news was formed, with the political envoy department as the first report, the state government yamen as the second report, and the county government as the third report.

The good news must choose the day, you have to choose the Yin day or the Chen Bao good news, the three good news to the same day, Yin Hu Chenlong, so the township test list is also called the "Dragon and Tiger List".

However, it was said that in this year's township examination, Tingzhou Mansion had a total of five people, three in the current year, and two in the past.

The good news was sent from the Fuzhou Political Envoy on the fourth day of September, and the news was transmitted to the Yamen of the Governor of Tingzhou Prefecture on September 14 through the Kuaima Station.

Subsequently, it was transmitted to various counties by the prefect's yamen, among which it is known that one person was raised in Ninghua County.

Two days later, on September 16, the report of the success in the township test was transmitted to the Yamen of Ninghua Zhi County.

The first day after September 16 is September 19, and the day of the day is September 21, according to the rules, the good news should be delivered to the house of the person in the middle of the day on one of these two days.

Because Zhongju means that he can be an official in this era, this kind of good news is different from the hospital examination, even if the family is poor. will also borrow money to send happy money and invite wine, and a small county often has no one to win several sessions, so once someone wins, the newspaper is eager to pass the news immediately. to get a reward for returning.

September 19, the day of Yin.

The first newspaper in the provincial capital arrived in Ninghua County on this day, and was in a hurry to rush to the house before noon to congratulate him, only to learn that the person from the second newspaper of Tingzhou Mansion had not arrived.

In this way, the two people who reported it were a little disappointed.

Thousands of miles from the provincial capital. In order to catch up with the auspicious day, I have never heard of the truth that the first newspaper should wait for the second and third reports. The two people of the first newspaper, one surnamed Song and the other surnamed Yan, could only wait in the post house in Ninghua County, looking forward to the arrival of the second newspaper in Fucheng.

But two days later, the day of the day also arrived, but there was still no news from the Fucheng side, and there was no saying when it would come, let alone why it was delayed. This made the two newspapers surnamed Song and surnamed Yan very annoyed.

"Damn, they don't want money, don't delay Lao Tzu's reward, and they have to hurry back, do you want us to live in Ninghua for another ten days?"

After the twenty-first day of the ninth month, it will be ten days to wait until the next day.

The newspapers of the provincial capital have to rush back to the provincial capital within a time limit, and the surnamed Song and the surname Yan were originally annoyed by the errand of delivering good news to Ninghua, and Tingzhou Mansion is the farthest place in Fujian Province from the provincial capital, and it takes 20 days to ride a horse back and forth.

The county's yacha was also a little anxious: "The two are on the errand." Otherwise, let's wait until noon (11 a.m.), and if no one comes, we'll go first. ”

A newspaper surnamed Song from Fuzhou City said: "How can this be? I didn't see it written here. Taohua Village, Shuangxi Town, don't think that Lao Tzu hasn't inquired, even if you want to go over, it will take a whole day. ”

The county official smiled and said: "You are wrong, this family surnamed Shen moved to the county seat a few years ago, and it will be over now." I won't need it for half an hour. ”

The two surnamed Song and Yan were relieved when they heard this, but they were still scolding, they didn't know the right way to report in the strange city, and this kind of good news and asking for money could be delayed.

However, sometimes it can be understood, because the yamen usually sends the errand of the good news to those old oilmen who are related, and Xinding can't afford this kind of beauty difference.

Lao Youzi usually has two or three errands, and I will send one or two first, and then go to one or two on the way, so that I can ask for two or three families at the same time.

There are only two people in the first report, and there are more people in the third report.

The county government doesn't have so many rules, anyway, it's in the county seat, as long as it's an inappropriate yacha, they're ready to go back to ask for money, even if it's not much, it's enough to drink tea and listen to books in the next month.

This Ninghua county is not well developed, the printing industry is only a handful in the whole Fujian, the scale of the workshop is large, there are many copies printed, there are all kinds of comic books, and there are more storytellers in the teahouse.

Until noon, there was still no news from the second newspaper, which made the newspaper surnamed Song and surnamed Yan angry.

"Damn, don't wait, Lao Tzu is still in a hurry to rush back to the provincial capital to resume his life, even if he breaks the rules today, go and ask for the good money first, if the people of the second newspaper arrive after dark, then they will go alone to ask for a reward, and we will leave after tomorrow."

The county government said: "Do you want to wait any longer? ”

A jumper surnamed Song: "It's appropriate to let Lao Tzu wait here?" Lead the way! ”

The people in the county government have no problem, since they can't wait to even come to the provincial capital, and they, the officials in the small county town, have long been worried about the happy money that can only be earned once in a few or three years, so they called out all the gongs and drums in the yamen, and went to the courtyard of the Shen family.

……

……

The Shen family, these days, have made a little awkward.

Shen Mingwen came back from the Fuzhou exam, and did not go back to Ninghua County directly, but lived in Fucheng and did not come back. The old lady wrote twice to urge Shen Mingtang and Shen Mingjun to bring the eldest brother back, but Shen Mingtang and Shen Mingjun basically have the same temperament, honest and honest, as long as Shen Mingwen cheats, his brothers will not be recruited.

When the letter came back from Fucheng, the Li family was so angry that he scolded the Wang family angrily: "Look at your father-in-law, what are you used to?" How did you become a wife? ”

In front of the whole family, young and old, he didn't save face for the Wang family at all.

Wang was indignant in his heart: "Mother, I haven't spoken to my husband for a few years, and when I see each other occasionally, the one who is anxious must come up and come hard, and it didn't take long for me to lose my spirit, where do I have the work of a husband?" Your mother's poor discipline of your son is now on my head. Bah! This kind of widowhood is really unbearable. ”

Lee could have endured. Because the Li family knows the rules of the township test to report the good news, if he really wins the move and does not come on the second day, the day must have come early in the morning. If you don't come again, you can only wait for the next year.

It was the first day of the day, and the old lady got up early in the morning, although she didn't say what was going on, but the family still understood. Accompany the old lady and wait.

It was almost noon, and the old lady finally couldn't sit still: "Prepare the carriage, call the fourth child, and enter the city together!" Even if you tie up, you have to tie the boss back! ”

Shen Mingxin had just arrived in Ninghua the day before yesterday, and he was also the son that the old lady had to bring when she entered the city.

Shen Mingyou is missing, she has a trusted son by her side, and she can only rely on her fourth son Shen Mingxin, who was left by her in Peach Blossom Village to take care of her ancestral business.

Shen Mingxin is witty and knows how to grasp his brother's weakness.

After the township test three years ago, if it weren't for Shen Mingxin and the old lady acting in a play, Shen Mingwen would not have obediently returned to Ninghua to live in the small black house for three years.

The carriage had been hired by Lee the day before.

Li thought clearly. Chenri waited for half a day, and if he didn't come, it would be no fun, so he hurriedly went into the city to bring the eldest son back, and then gave him a small black house for three years.

It's also that the old lady feels that her time is running out, and she has been in poor health recently, and she can't walk anymore, so she doesn't supervise this eldest son, and after she passes away, it is okay to rely on a few sons to Shen Mingwen.

"Mother. Why don't you let the big brother do it? ”

Shen Mingxin didn't support it very much this time, in the past six years, Shen Mingwen was first locked up in the attic of the countryside, and then in a small black house, and even Shen Mingxin felt distressed when he saw it. Where is this disciplining his son, it is really a captive livestock.

Li said angrily: "Fourth, even you think that what your mother did is wrong? What can my mother do, all this is still for the sake of the Shen family's early prosperity, and my mother doesn't want to pass away. Go to the Nine Springs to see your father, as well as the ancestors of the Shen family! ”

After bringing out the ancestors, Shen Mingxin didn't say anything anymore.

The Li family walked out of the yard with the help of Shen Mingxin, and the family came out to see each other.

Wang followed behind like an angry bag, but he honestly took the baggage that Li brought to Fucheng, which contained two changes of clothes, as well as a little dry food and broken silver.

Li has always been frugal when he goes out, and he lives in cheap rooms in the guest houses, and eats dry food that he brought, but she has not treated Shen Mingwen's meals badly in recent years, even if he is locked in a small black room and doesn't need to come out to meet people, he will buy new clothes a few times a year.

Shen Mingwen's daughter-in-law, Lu Shi, came over and said, "Grandmother, do you want Da Lang to accompany you?" ”

Li glanced at the eldest grandson's daughter-in-law, smiled and shook his head: "No need, just have your four uncles send me alone." ”

Li has always felt that Shen Mingwen is unproductive, because the Wang family has no husband, and the Wang family likes to compete with the concubine, and does not have the demeanor of a housewife, but this granddaughter-in-law is from a large family, sensible and well-behaved, and gave birth to a great-grandson in the second year after marrying into the door, and Shen Yongzhuo also successfully passed the government test. This is the best choice for the Shen family's housewife.

The family walked to the door, and the Li family was about to explain a few words to the people behind him, when suddenly a few children ran over there: "Oh, oh, there are people in the Shen family." ”

Wang didn't dare to lose his temper with Li, but he didn't have such a good temper with a group of children, and opened his mouth to scold: "Where did you come from, fart, get out!" ”

A group of children ran away with bamboo poles and tongues sticking out, when a few women with their hands came after them at the entrance of the alley.

"Mrs. Shen, look at it, it's someone from the Yamen over there, who seems to be coming to report the good news."

Li Shi couldn't stand anymore when he heard this, but fortunately, there was Shen Mingxin next to him, so he hurriedly supported her.

Before the Li family could stand firmly, they hurriedly pointed to the direction of the alley: "Quick, go over and see, is it the Yamen who came to report the good news?" ”

Shen Mingxin asked the Wang family and the Qian family to help the old lady, and hurried to the alley to visit by himself.

Before he could reach the mouth of the alley, a group of neighbors poured into the alley, followed by a group of yacha in soap suits to open the way, and the sound of blowing and beating outside the alley was clear.

"Mother, it looks like it's real." Shen Mingxin had a smile of surprise on his face.

Li kept asking, "Is it, is it......"

Then more yacha came into the alley, and there were people behind them carrying firecrackers and walking towards the door of Shen's house.
