Yan Fu had already seen the good news, and as soon as Zhao Yan and Wang An came out of the inner house, he greeted them with a big smile.

"Gome, you and the two of you won the laurel list this time, which is really giving us the face of the governor of Shenzhou, you must know that our Shenzhou has not been raised for nearly ten years." Yan Fu patted Zhao Yan on the shoulder, and then whispered: "The person who sent the good news is just outside the door, and there are two officials and entourage, which is customary to give a reward." ”

Zhao Yan gratefully arched his hand at Yan Fu and said, "The students who like money have already prepared, thank you Xuezheng for reminding me." ”

The man in the strong suit outside the door saw that the main owner was coming, and he suddenly had a spirit, he turned around and faced the lively crowd, and then he was angry, and then exhaled and said: "He Zhao family is the old man, the eighteenth place in the high school Ding Mao year Beizhili Township Examination, but this is a good news!" ”

The two officials stood in the corner, and the young officer pointed at Zhao Yan, turned his head and said to the older officer: "Yohe, did you really win the lift?" The half-grown kid standing at the door is the new lifter? ”

The elder servant took a sip of his nephew and whispered, "Go, don't point fingers." In the future, when you see people, you have to call people the master, and even our Zhizhou master does not dare to snub others. ”

The young official retracted his finger curtly, couldn't help but look at Zhao Yan a few more times, and said in his heart When I was as old as him, I only knew how to fight cocks and birds, how could there be such a big difference between people and people?

"Oh, congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master."

"The old man has given us the face of the governor of the deep state, congratulations!"

"Does the old man need a girl who warms the bed? There is a daughter in a certain family, who is twenty-six years old, and she is well-behaved and tight on weekdays, so it is better to accept her by the master. ”

"Go, go, what does your girl look like, don't you know the old body? Born stupid, 12 years old, you can't even call your parents, are you embarrassed to say it and be embarrassed? ”

"Aunt Liu, this is a big court, why are you exposing my old bottom?"

"The old man can't see it, this man is a star in the sky, he won the lifting at a young age, and his future will be limitless. The granddaughter of the old body is waiting in the boudoir, I think she and this man are a match made in heaven, talented and beautiful, and I have the heart to match them. ”

"Hehe, Aunt Liu. I've seen your granddaughter, and she's really good-looking, but the child daughter-in-law of the old man is even better-looking, so don't daydream there. ”

"Butler." Zhao Yan ignored the noise in the crowd of onlookers for the time being, but looked at the man in strong clothes and motioned to the housekeeper Wang An to give a reward.

Wang An understood, took out two silver ingots from his arms, and handed them to the man in a strong suit with a smile.

Ten taels of white silver in hand, the man in the strong suit was full of joy, the horse was rented by him for five taels of silver, at this time he got ten taels of silver, and he had already made a net profit of five taels of silver, and when another good news arrived, at least he could earn another five taels of silver, so that his own boy would have enough money for the dowry.

After thanking Zhao Yan, the man in the strong suit was about to turn around and leave, but the two officials who were in charge of guiding the way did not move, and only said some compliments to Zhao Yan with a smile on their faces.

Seeing this, the housekeeper Wang An hurriedly took out two ingots of silver from his bosom and handed them over, and the older official took it with a smile and said a few more compliments, and then led the young official to the man in a strong suit away.

After walking away, two officials walked ahead and began to bite their ears.

"Uncle, I'm afraid that the two ingots of silver add up to ten taels, right?"

"It's exactly ten taels of silver, five taels for each of us, I'll keep it for you first, and I'll give it to you when I come back from Zaoke Village."

"Uncle, I didn't expect this money to come so easily, if only there was good news every day."

"You kid, don't daydream, you should be a good test? Who has to study hard for decades, and you have to catch up with good luck to be admitted, only I have seen only three people in our Shenzhou examination in my life, plus two today, it is only five people, as for those who were admitted to the Jinshi, your uncle I didn't give birth to it, and I haven't seen it once since I was born. ”

"But the half-grown kid...... The old man looks young, a few years younger than me, why did he get in? ”

"Nonsense, you don't take a closer look, can it be an ordinary person who can be admitted to the Jinshi? Those are the stars of heaven descending from earth. This newcomer is so young, maybe he is still a Wenqu Xingjun in the sky, and he should come back after a few years. ”

……

In front of Zhao's house, Wang An threw all the copper coins in his arms into the crowd, which immediately caused people to scramble.

"Fellow villagers, all neighbors, my son-in-law Xinzhong is really gratifying, according to the usual practice from tomorrow will be set up in front of the door for three days, if you are fine, please come to cheer, I thank you on behalf of my lord."

As soon as Wang An's words fell, the crowd of onlookers immediately applauded.

"Don't worry, Steward Wang, we will definitely come then."

"Yes, we will definitely come then, maybe we can get the fairy spirit of the old man."

"Raise people, my granddaughter, the old man, not only has a good-looking face, but also has big breasts/buttocks, and she is easy to raise at first glance, do you want to see it?"

"Aunt Liu, you should rest quickly. If you keep talking, it's time for the old man's child daughter-in-law to come out with a knife and cut you. ”

"Hahaha......" The crowd of onlookers burst into laughter.

Li Yun hid behind the gate, and after hearing Fang Cai's words, his face was flushed, and he muttered in a low voice: "It's just some bad guys who like to talk nonsense, they should really sew their mouths one by one." ”

Xiao Xiang'er heard it on the side, and couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh twice.

Li Yun's eyes widened, and he pouted and said, "You are the first, I will sew your mouth with a needle and thread when I go back, and see if you are still smiling." ”

Xiao Xiang'er squinted her two crescent eyes, and pretended to be frightened: "The little maid's mouth is too big, what a waste of needles and threads to sew up!" ”

Zhao Yan said a few words to the onlookers at the door, and then accompanied Xuezheng Yan Fu into the door, but he happened to hear Xiao Xiang'er's words, he subconsciously looked at Xiao Xiang'er's cherry mouth, red and tender, bright and colorful, not big at all, knowing that their master and servant must be joking somewhere, Zhao Yan didn't care, and led Yan Fu straight to the main hall.

After coming to the main hall and sitting down, Yan Fu suddenly stopped talking, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Guomei, that older woman is the little lady of the Li family?" ”

Zhao Yan didn't know why Yan Fu would suddenly ask this question, he nodded and responded, "Exactly." ”

Seeing that there was a puzzled look in Zhao Yan's eyes, Yan Fu smiled bitterly and said: "Li Yingqiu, the head of the Li family in Nanzhuang, is quite famous in Shenzhou, and the Li family suddenly fell into exile overnight, I don't know how many people were amazed, and the old man was naturally not exempt from vulgarity, and he also talked about it with a few old friends afterwards, and then the old man knew that Li Yingqiu's daughter was actually taken in by you. ”

Zhao Yan smiled and replied half-truthfully: "The trust of the elders does not dare to resign, besides, the Li family is just a pond fish, most of them are innocent people, the Li family's little lady is dissatisfied with the year, and has never made a big mistake, if it is a little unbearable to be charged into the teaching department, and the student has a marriage contract with him, and there is nothing wrong with him joining the family in the name of his adopted daughter-in-law." ”

Yan Fu smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhao Yan and said: "There are nine truths and one falsehood in the words, I didn't expect Guomei to have entered the realm of transformation, hahaha......"

Zhao Yan laughed awkwardly, but he didn't let go: "If Xuezheng is a student, he can't understand it, so please Xuezheng to solve his doubts." ”

"It seems that you will not die if you don't have the heart of the Yellow River, or maybe, the old man came to ask you, when did you enter into a marriage contract with the daughter of the Li family?" Yan Fu asked with a smile.

Yan Fu's question was to the point, and Zhao Yan thought for a moment before replying: "The relationship between the student and the little mother of the Li family was decided two or three months before the Li family's exile, I don't know why Xuezheng asked this?" ”

"If the old man remembers correctly, the Li family was exiled to Yunnan at the end of August last year, two or three months in advance, that is, in May and June of last year." Yan Fu picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip, and said slowly: "Guomei knows that there is a servant in the old man's hometown, and he brought his second son to visit me in Shenzhou in the early autumn of last year. ”

Zhao Yan shook his head and said, "The student didn't go to school at that time, but he never heard of it. ”

Yan Fu laughed and said, "The old man has forgotten, but the old man's descendants and grandsons have not been in the state school, and even the three instructors do not know about it, even if you enter the state school, you will not know about it." ”

This old scholar was making a fool of himself between his words, but his identity and qualifications were there, so Zhao Yan had to calm down and listen to him continue to tell the story.

Xu saw the impatience in Zhao Yan's heart, but Yan Fu said directly: "That's it, the old man should say it directly, the old man's daughter happened to meet the daughter of the Li family when he was wandering on the street on the same day, but afterwards he begged the old man to go and say goodbye to him, and the old man was embarrassed, so he had to go to the Li family in Nanzhuang. Li Yingqiu also grew up reading sage books, and the old man knows him well, but there is no need for him to deceive the old man on this matter. Guomei just said that he was married to the daughter of the Li family in May and June last year, if it wasn't for the old man, could it be that he remembered it wrong? ”

Zhao Yan's face turned red for a rare time, and his lies were exposed in person, except for a few people at the level of the Black Sect Master, everyone else would be more or less embarrassed.

Seeing Zhao Yan's slightly embarrassed look, Yan Fu waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the matter of taking in the daughter of the Li family, whether it is right or wrong, the old man doesn't care, and he won't tell others at will, but now that you have become a lifter, maybe you will become the first Jinshi in Shenzhou in the past thirty or forty years, but the old man has a few words to say to you, as for whether you never obey or not, the old man does not force it." ”

Yan Fu said solemnly, Zhao Yan didn't behave too casually, so he got up and said, "The student is willing to listen to the teachings." ”
