Chapter 7 Preparing to Go North
When Zhang Luan returned home, he was extremely embarrassed, his face was haggard and his clothes were disheveled. Jin helped Zhang Luan, who was faltering, and asked Changfeng, who was going with him: "Is this what the master looked like when he left the Tribute Courtyard?"
"The old man still looks good, but the slave looks even more embarrassed when he looks at many Xiucai, and he stinks all over his body, and he can smell it from a distance. Changfeng waved the dust in front of him in disgust, as if the aftertaste was thrown on the tip of his nose, and then continued: "When the master came out, he also said a few words to the slave, please don't worry, the master is very tired, just rest and rest." ”
After hearing this, Jin was relieved a lot, and waited for Zhang Luan to lie on the bed, instructing no one to approach.
The township examination list was very close to the exam time, and Zhang Luan was strolling in the garden with Zhang Erzhen at that time. There are no pretty butterflies in the garden anymore, just the occasional breeze that brings a little autumn.
The gongs and drums outside were very lively, and the sound was gradually approaching, Zhang Erzhen listened attentively, isn't this coming in the direction of his own house, Daddy is hit! Zhang Erzhen dragged Zhang Luan's hand to the door, but Zhang Luan smiled and didn't move, looking at Zhang Erzhen's little face that caused it to be red, and said: "Zhenzhen, if it weren't for Dad, wouldn't you be disappointed?"
"Daddy, hit, it's Dad. Zhang Erzhen spoke more neatly, pulling Zhang Luan and dragging him, this father, knowing that he was so reserved. What a great honor it is to be admitted to the lifting of people, the local lord's house in the countryside will set up a wine banquet guests, the village chief and even the county magistrate will come to eat wine, and everyone will call the lifting man when they see it.
Zhang Luan was not teasing his daughter, he picked up his daughter and strode to the door, Jin had already opened the door, and only heard the gratifying people shouting outside the door: "Congratulations to Zhang Xiucai for winning the first name Xie Yuan, congratulations to Zhang Xie Yuan, congratulations to Mrs. Zhang." The peach blossoms of the cave are often allowed to see, for whom they are specially cherished. Just wait for next spring drunk. Lean, listen to the voice of the champion. The small one specially learned two sentences and congratulated Xie Yuan on continuing to win the first place. ”
The sentence that the good news person specially learned said to see the lively laughter, Jin couldn't close his mouth, the housekeeper Uncle Zhang stepped forward to give the good news to the good news, and the good news person gave the good news sent by the Jinan Mansion to Zhang Luan with both hands and said: "Congratulations Zhang Xie Yuan, when you invite wine, the small one may come to be happy?"
Zhang Luan said loudly: "Don't be polite to the neighbors, when Zhang is ready, they will all come to eat and drink, and they will all come to eat and drink." ”
The annunciator knocked and knocked, and after a while, he went to the next master to report the good news.
Zhang Erzhen's white little hands were red, and she couldn't close her mouth with a smile. Xie Yuan, her father, twenty-one-year-old Xie Yuan, is rare. Tang Yin was twenty-eight years old, and her father was much more powerful than Tang Yin! She tried to stretch her neck, trying to see the excited look on her father's face, but she was disappointed. Zhongju seemed to be expected by Zhang Luan, and Zhang Luan did not have the ecstasy of Fan Jinzhongju on his face.
Seeing off the team that reported the good news, Zhang Luan entered the courtyard with the good news. Zhang Erzhen trotted behind Zhang Luan, watching his father solemnly put the good news in the main hall, kneeling upright, Jin also quickly knelt down, Zhang Erzhen shrank back, Zhang Luan said: "Dad, mother, my son has been admitted to the exam, please rest assured, my son will definitely be full of enthusiasm and shine on the lintel of Zhang's house." ”
The next few days can be regarded as busy for the Jin family, and even the Tang family, who has never gone out, was aroused. The first is to celebrate Zhang Luanzhong's understanding of the yuan, post to the county, good friends, relatives and neighbors, the banquet was set up wave after wave, and the "Deer Song" was played endlessly at the banquet:
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild apples. I have guests, drummers and shengs. Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will. People are kind to me, show me to walk.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia. I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao. If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective. I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao.
Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild Qin. I have guests, drums and pianos. The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious. I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests.
The second is to prepare for the whole family to go north, I don't know when to return, the fields and shops and real estate need to be well placed and placed, and the guy is not at ease and sells the store directly. Zhang Erzhen watched the wild geese return south in the small courtyard, and watched the locust tree begin to lose its leaves, Zhang Luan received the county documents, everything was ready, and the family set off for Shuntianfu.
The Shuntian Mansion of the Ming Dynasty was the capital of the previous life, and although Zhang Erzhen was a science student, his liberal arts grades were not so bad. The current Majesty Ming Xianzong is wise and forgiving, and during his reign, he has a clear and clear atmosphere, exempting taxes and reducing punishments. Zhang Erzhen is often satisfied with her life in this era, without being displaced, without lack of food and clothing. Daddy is a Xie Yuan with a bright future, and his mother is also virtuous (except for not liking her, of course), and he has a deep love for Daddy Floice.
The carriage was not always so comfortable to sit on, and Zhang Erzhen's little buttocks were swollen from the bumps. At this time, Zhang Luan would sit on his lap with his beloved daughter, and teach his daughter knowledge sentence by sentence, and then was surprised to find that his daughter could stumble and recite a few sentences, and the smile flashed Jin's eyes, and Jin often tasted.
After more than half a month of traveling, Zhang Luan's family finally arrived at Shuntianfu before the first snowfall. Elder brother Jin Cha, sister-in-law Zhou, and younger brother Jin Rong have already received a letter sent by the Jin family and are waiting at the gate of the mansion early. Seeing the approaching carriage caravan, Jin Rong took the first step and shouted: "But the Zhang family's carriage and horses?" Uncle Zhang, who was sitting on the wheel, replied loudly: "Yes!"
