The two of them walked out of the high gate of the patriarch's house, and no one sent them out, because they didn't have face.

Walking on the street again, the mother no longer walked with her head down as when she came, but with the support of Mao Yulong, she walked with her proud head high and with a proud look.

And the women who were originally leaning against the wall and sneering at the two mothers gave up the nature of women who love to watch the excitement and did not go to Mao Yulong's house to see the strangeness. When they saw Mao Yulong and Niang coming, they hurriedly turned around and went back to their homes in a panic. The courtyard door was deliberately closed loudly, and he didn't forget to show his persistence and smack at the door. But the mocking voice was deliberately suppressed so that only he could hear it: "The villain has the will, what is it." In this way, he showed his inner loss and jealousy.

However, a group of children didn't understand the minds of adults, and they called friends to run to Mao Yulong's house to see the excitement of their hearts, and at the same time hoped to get a share of sugar.

Mao Yulong's door has been surrounded by many, many people, but there are few people of his own here, and most of them are adjacent to each other. Everyone stretched their necks to look into the yard, and then looked around looking for the owner, all with excitement on their faces.

"It's coming, it's coming, the prodigy Xiaoxiu is here." Mao Yulong's mother came over twice, and some of the people in the crowd saw it, and immediately announced the news to everyone excitedly.

The crowd immediately dispersed to both sides with a bang, making way for Mao Yulong Niang and the others. Xiaoya was the first to rush out and pounced on her brother: "Brother, you are an official, I can call you master." ”

Mao Yulong denied with a smile: "It's just a show, it's not an official, it's not a person, and it can't be called a master." ”

Xiao Huang also rushed up and directly gave Mao Yulong a leg hug, how long his little tongue hung out, and his eyes were full of excitement. Of course, it is not known what has changed in the owner. But so many people come, it must be a good thing, it is rude not to show excitement, isn't it, when the host is unhappy, I can't say that I still have to go to the street to hunt wild food at night.

handed over the little girl to the neighborhood aunt to take care of, and Mao Yulong helped her mother into the courtyard of her house. The courtyard had already been blocked by water, and a group of servants were waiting impatiently, and when they saw Xiao Xiucai coming, the leading elder, holding a big red post in his hand, stepped forward with a smile and asked: "Don't dare to ask, this little gentleman is against his name." "This has to be asked, once you get the wrong person, you will be embarrassed, but it is more likely that this person will faint directly, and it will be a mess to spread a human life at that time.

There are many such things. There are many people who suddenly receive such good news, some are convulsive, some are crazy, some are crying, and some pass out directly. Anyway, I am a veteran of many years, and every year after the imperial examination, I have to go through such a variety of life situations, and I have experienced a lot, and of course the experience is enough, so it is better to be safe.

Mao Yulong let go of his mother, smiled at the old official and arched his hand: "Student Mao Yulong, I have seen you." ”

After confirming the name and glancing at the identity features on the big red post, this old official used his unique voice to roll call loudly, "The existing Mao Yulong in Qiantang County, Hangzhou Prefecture, the first polar in the case of high school Xiucai——"

With this definite annunciation, Mao Yulong officially changed from a white body in cloth clothes to a showman, and became famous.

The official who announced the good news immediately lit the firecrackers he brought, and the drummers also puffed out their cheeks and blew the joy of Xiao Dengke, and for a time there was a joyful cheer inside and outside the courtyard.

At this time, the old official who reported the good news stepped forward with a smile and stretched out his hand: "Congratulations to Xiao Xiucai Gong High School, I wish Xiao Xiu Cai Gong three yuan in the future, brothers ask you for a happy money and drink some old wine." ”

Mao Yulong nodded: "This is natural, it's just-" He looked embarrassed, because he really didn't have any money in his hands.

Seeing Mao Yulong's expression, this old official was well-informed, and from the situation of Mao Yulong's family, he could see that he might have to run for nothing this time.

But no matter what, now this little case leader is already a person who can't afford to offend, and he can only consider himself unlucky. As a result, he was about to say two words about the scene, and then when he left, a fat man squeezed in from the crowd and threw his hand at Mao Yulong with a smile: "Oh, the virtuous brother is really a talent, and he is really smart, but the foolish brother is too late to congratulate, please forgive me." ”

Mao Yulong returned the salute with his hand, and he was inexplicable, this person's face was tight, when did he call him a brother?

But the old man was overjoyed, and it seemed that his favorite money had been settled, and this was a group of people who had a bad relationship with him.

In this world, there is no shortage of people who tend to be inflammatory, and the warmth and coldness of people are always staged at all times, which is more exciting than the drama of the troupe. At every time the list is released, there are always these people who take the initiative to come to the door. This is still now, waiting for the talents to go to Beijing to catch the exam, send the agenda, send the carriage and horses abound, and once the winner lifts people, sends houses, and sends fields, there are even more people, and it is not a matter of first pulling the relationship, and when the investors are in high school, they will be good in the future and receive huge benefits.

Sure enough, this rich guy exchanged a few words with Mao Yulong, and immediately turned his head to these servants and gangsters with a grin: "My brother is in high school, of course I am happy to be an elder brother, and I want to thank you for your good news no matter what." Then he took out a small bag directly from his sleeve and stuffed it into the old official's hand: "A little tea and wine money is not a tribute, and please accept it with a smile." ”

The old official took the small bag in his hand, shook it slightly, and immediately smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth. I really didn't expect that I was about to be disappointed, but I bumped into a generous gold owner, and the minimum amount of silver was 10 taels, which was a lot of money, and everyone shared it equally, enough for a month's wine money.

So the old official threw his hand at the gold owner again and again: "Thank you uncle, we have to go to the next one, so we won't bother." Then everyone went away happily.

Sending away the good news, as soon as Mao Yulong turned around, he saw that the mother in the yard was surrounded by a group of people outside, the old sister was long, and the old sister was short, and they all took out a little money to congratulate them.

Mother is a strong character, knowing the meaning of these so-called relatives and friends who suddenly appeared, taking other people's favors, it is a favor, and it will be a debt of favor in the future, and she doesn't dare to make trouble for her son to cause famine. So they resolutely refused.

Mao Yulong is feeling that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the deep mountains, the long room of the five rooms is holding a small cloth bag, and he is in a hurry, and when he sees that the annunciation has left, he explained to Mao Yulong embarrassedly, of course Mao Yulong understands.

He asked the fat man with a warm smile, "I don't know what kind of business Brother Tai does." ”

The fat man immediately replied, "Just five blocks away, my brother and I opened a small tavern." ”

Mao Yulong smiled, this is really a good thing to spread thousands of miles, but in a short period of time, his identity changed, and it spread to 5 streets away, who said that the news in this era is closed, the little trumpet and word of mouth are spreading, and its speed is definitely faster than the speed of light. Of course, the restaurant teahouse is the most well-informed place, and the news gets quickly is understandable, but the speed of the owner's reaction is indeed surprising.

The group of people around my mother, since my mother refused, I didn't need to lead them again, but this person will need to be used in the future, because he is well-informed, and because of his efficiency.

Coming to this world, Mao Yulong is ready to change his original personality, and in the practice of hard work, among them, it has become his creed to be at peace with what happens, and everything can be slowly accepted patiently. But in this era, there is really no news, no forum, no Douyin, no headlines, not even the newspapers that have been eliminated, so he is completely closed in a small courtyard of his own. Even the neighbors can't bring outside information to themselves, which is what Mao Yulong suffers the most. Changing this status quo, changing this maddening status quo, is what Mao Yulong is most eager to do.

With the well-informed owner of this small hotel, he can change the current predicament, not to mention selling the fifth uncle's favor. So Mao Yulong calmly took the fifth uncle's wallet and handed it directly to the fat man's hand: "Here is the family assets made up by my fifth uncle, although it is less, please don't let my brother be surprised." In the evening, it is inevitable that some relatives and friends will come to congratulate them, and they need to prepare a few tables to entertain them. ”

Seeing those who dared to come over and hit the wooden clock in embarrassment, being treated with such favoritism, of course, made the owner of this fat tavern extremely happy, and he also knew that people were sophisticated, although they were not bad for a few dollars, but they still accepted it calmly: "Although my brother's tavern is not very famous, it also has a few good dishes, and this matter is wrapped up in my brother." ”

The fifth uncle saw that Mao Wenlong took the wallet in his hand, and he was not annoyed because he was late, and his heart was very comfortable, and the owner of this tavern was also happy because Mao Yulong accepted his collusion. The two of them looked at the calm Mao Yulong, and they had to admire his tactfulness in doing things for others.

Just when the owner of this tavern was about to go back to prepare, Mao Yulong had to ask apologetically: "I haven't asked my brother's honorific name yet, it's really rude for my younger brother." ”

The owner of this tavern, of course, knows the cause and effect, and he didn't take the initiative to stammer when he saw this little show, but people didn't intend to accept it, but seeing that he stretched out his hand to quickly relieve his embarrassment, he was hearted, even if he was thick-skinned, he couldn't help but blush: "Zheng Hongda is under him." ”

Mao Yulong grabbed his hand as if he was an old acquaintance: "I'm tired of my brother." ”。

Zheng Hongda nodded with satisfaction: "Between you and my brothers, what are you still talking about, what you should do, and then you walked quickly." ”

Just when everyone was laughing, the long-term uncle of the third room had already brought his own servants and pulled in the wine and meat bought on the street, and between the knives and spoons flying, a banquet that was already rare in Mao Yulong's house began.
