Zhou Shuren also had a small expectation in his heart, who would like to compete for the second place if he could take the first test, but fortunately he couldn't bear to be afraid that he would be slapped in the face with too much expectation, "I'll know when the time comes." ”

Zhulan asked, "I see that you are extraordinarily calm, you really don't care about your grades?" ”

Zhou Shuren hugged Zhulan's waist, "I'm worried, but I know in my heart that I will definitely be able to pass it, but I just don't know the ranking." ”

Zhulan held down Zhou Shuren's hand, which was not very peaceful, and she was bolder and bolder, "Let it go." ”

Boss Zhou, "........"

He wanted to quit, but when his father saw him, his scalp was numb, and he was depressed, why could he meet it every time, woo, who made him the boss, someone from the family came, and he was responsible for calling Dad!

He must have a long memory next time, even if the door is open, he will stand outside the door and wait for his father to agree before entering the house.

Zhou Shuren stared at the boss and went out, only then did he let go of his hand, and seeing that Zhulan didn't find the boss, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and his flesh and skin were saved.

Boss Zhou stood at the door and watched his father come out, bowing his head, "Dad, the second uncle of the patriarch's family is here." ”

Zhou Shuren sighed and said to Zhou Laodao, who wanted to slip away: "Take care of your mouth." ”

Boss Zhou, "....... Be. ”

Dad didn't warn him, and he didn't dare to say it!

Because the patriarch's second son came, Zhulan asked the Li family to add two more dishes in the evening, and the patriarch asked his son to come to Pingzhou to wait for the news of the township test.

Zhou Shuren was the only one who participated in the township test this year, and the patriarch was very worried at home, so he couldn't help but let his son come to Pingzhou in advance.

Time flies, and finally the day of the results comes, Zhou Shuren sent the eldest and second to see the results, and the son of the patriarch also followed.

Zhou Shuren didn't go to see the results in person, there must be a lot of people on this list, he didn't want to go to crowd people to find guilt, anyway, it was better to wait at home with peace of mind, as for why let the eldest and second go to see the results, who let these two stomp their feet in circles early in the morning, which made people look upset, it is better to send them out, he can also calm down.

As soon as Boss Zhou and a few people left, the subordinates of the Jiang Mansion arrived, "The little one is saying goodbye to the master of the lifting person, and the small one is congratulating the master of the lifting person for winning the second place is Yayuan." ”

Zhou Shuren was silent, he still hadn't taken the Wu Ming test, and smiled, "It's troublesome Lord Jiang to worry about it." ”

The subordinates of the Jiang Mansion smiled and said, "My lord said that they should be in-laws." ”

I thought to myself, I really didn't expect it, Zhou Xiucai has become a master, and he will be able to enter Beijing next year to catch the exam, maybe the Zhou family will also be an official in the future! It seems that he will be more polite to Zhou Changlian in the future.

Even if Zhulan has the confidence given by Zhou Shuren, she didn't hear the letter, and she was worried in her heart, but now she is finally at ease, and she took out two taels of silver and handed it to her subordinates, "It's been a hard run, and I'm sticky and happy to drink." ”

The subordinate of the Jiang Mansion took it neatly, "Thank you for the reward from Mrs. Juren, the little one will go back to recover first." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a blow outside the door of the Zhou Mansion, and the person who reported the good news came, and Zhulan instructed Chang Lian, "Go out and set off firecrackers." ”

The people of the Jiang Mansion also followed out.

The Zhou family went to the front yard, and Rong Chuan and Changzhi carried baskets containing copper coins, which were used to sprinkle happy money at the gate.

The process of Zhongju and Zhongxiucai is different, the people who report the good news are different, and many people come to the people who blow and blow and beat, and Zhulan gives the good news money that has been prepared for a long time to the people who report the good news.

Waiting for the people who reported the good news to leave, they began to spread the happy money, this time the movement is particularly big, the whole street knows about it, the difference between lifting people and showing talents is big, even if you don't continue to take the exam, you are also qualified to be officials, and there are more people who are stammered.

The Wu family is not far from the Zhulan family, and there are two people in this piece, one is the first Xie Yuan, and the other is the second Yayuan, many people think that this piece of feng shui is good!

Zhulan is far away, and you can still hear about feng shui!

The Zhou family went back to the courtyard, Zhou Shuren took Chang Lian and Chang Zhi to receive male guests in the front yard, Zhulan went back to the backyard, looked at Li and smiled: "Li, what are you still doing, why don't you hurry up and buy wine and meat?" ”

Li's face was red with excitement, her father-in-law had become a lifter, she knew that her father-in-law would definitely be able to lift a person, so she said very loudly, "Mother, I'll go now." ”

The Zhao family is also excited, the father-in-law will be able to be an official if he doesn't say it in the future, she sees what the Dong family will be proud of in the future, "Mother, I'll go to the kitchen to make a fire and boil water." ”

Zhulan saw Zhao glancing at Dong, and Zhao had a grudge against Dong in his heart, "Go ahead." ”

She doesn't want to care about the contradictions between the two, as long as she doesn't step on her bottom line, how they like to toss and how they want, don't bother her.

Dong's impact is the greatest, she is different from her sister-in-law's firm father-in-law who can pass the exam, nor is she like the second sister-in-law who expects her father-in-law to pass the exam, in fact, her heart is the most contradictory, I hope that my father-in-law can be more confident in the exam, and she doesn't want her father-in-law to pass the exam, because she knows that her father-in-law will rush to take the exam if he wins the move, and once he wins the Jinshi, he will be an orthodox official in the future, unlike her father who is always not orthodox, and her advantage in the Zhou family is gone.

Now there is no need to be entangled, her father-in-law is lifted, what she has to do is to please her mother-in-law, lest her father-in-law go to the capital in the future without taking three rooms, so I am quite excited when I think about it, it is better to rely on others than on myself, and no matter how good my brother-in-law is, it is not as reliable as my father-in-law!

Xue Han got up and asked, "Mother, what can I help do?" ”

Zhulan pinched her daughter's little nose, "You just accompany your mother obediently." ”

Dong came back to his senses, and when he saw that she was left with a daughter-in-law, "Mother, I'll help the second sister-in-law." ”

Zhulan said: "You don't have to go, there will be a female dependent, and you will help me entertain." ”

With Dong's in her, she can be easy and relaxed, this is what Dong's is good at, boiling water is too big and useless.

A smile appeared on the corner of Dong's mouth, and her mother asked her to accompany her to receive her, and her mother finally stopped being angry with her, "Hey! ”

Zhou Shuren was lifted, not only the neighbors came to the door to be happy, but also the nearby merchants came to the door, and after a while, the Zhou family received a lot of gifts.

Although the second to tenth places are all Asian dollars, Zhou Shuren's ranking is second, the second place of the real thing, plus the Zhou family and Jiangfu, Xu Jinshi are related, so they are naturally willing to come to the Zhou family to say goodbye.

And Zhou Shuren's age also has an advantage, Zhou Shuren's age is not optimistic, who knows how many years can be used to lift people, but it is very different at this age, about forty years old, not to mention that it is more stable to be mature, don't look at Zhou Shuren is the second place, in fact, compared with Wu Ming, many people are more optimistic about Zhou Shuren.

Especially knowing that Zhou Shuren only passed the exam once, it can be seen that Zhou Shuren's ability is good, although some petty officials in Pingzhou City did not come to the door to say hello in person, they also sent people to give gifts.

Zhulan and Dong's reception in the backyard were also busy, originally Zhulan wanted to celebrate with her family, but unfortunately the male guests in the front yard did not leave, Zhulan asked Mingyun to come over and ask Zhou Shuren what he meant, and asked Zhou Lao Er to go to a nearby restaurant to book a banquet.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren took people to the restaurant, and the protagonist Zhou Shuren left, and the door of the Zhou family was finally closed.

Zhulan rubbed her cheeks, she was tired to death this time.

Li said excitedly: "Mother, come and see, the gifts you received today are almost piling up in the house." ”
