"What you say is true? Did the little brother really win the lift? Guo Mianmian was excited, jumped up like a child, jumped in front of Zheng Rin's eyes, grabbed his sleeve and asked, I am afraid that I heard it wrong.

Zheng Rin smiled lightly: "I went to the county seat today to find Lao Zhang first, and it just so happened that he was also there, he said it himself, there will be no fake." ”

Lao Zhang is Zhang Niuyu, who has not been at home for the past few months, and just returned to the county seat yesterday. This is also the first time the two have met since the part-time job in Harukami. The two drank together and talked a lot about it.

Guo Mianmian was stunned, glanced at the man, and saw that his face was no different, so he came down with peace of mind, and was intoxicated with the joy of the little brother's high school lifting: "The little brother is really powerful, he won the first township test, and he has lived up to his three-year wait." ”

Seeing that his wife was happy, Zheng Rin's somewhat gloomy mood also improved a lot, and asked, "Do you want to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law and report the good news to the second elder, so that they can also be happy?" ”

Guo Mianmian just wanted to nod, but immediately objected again: "Since the list has been announced, I think it won't be long before there will be good news, or let my father and mother be happy that day, we won't be interested in talking about it now." ”

Generally, after the list is posted, the good news will first go to the subordinate county office. If someone within the limits of the county commander was promoted, then the yamen would send a public servant to the house of the county magistrate to report the good news. This process is very fast, and usually the new recruits who have participated in the Luming banquet are still on their way home, and the good news has already arrived at home.

"Okay, when the good news arrives, we will go to congratulate." Zheng Rin didn't suggest, so he planned a generous gift for his brother-in-law in advance.

just thought that my brother-in-law had won the lift, and this marriage had to be put on the agenda. Thinking that his brother-in-law was not enthusiastic about starting a family, he was inexplicably a little pitiful, and a little sitting. That's how he was urged to come back in the past.

Looking at his wife who was still stupid, the tenderness in Zheng Rin's eyes seemed to be causing (the water droplets overflowed, but he didn't know if his brother-in-law was as lucky as him and could be destined for his wife.

As Guo Mianmian expected, on the third day, Guo Yuzhongju's good news reached Guo's family in Lijia Village. Not to mention how excited the Guo family was, the entire Lijia Village was shaken.

"I have long said that the old man of the Guo family is the material for reading, and look, he has become a man at a young age." Looking at the Guo family who cried with joy after receiving the big red victory, some villagers said with admiration.

"I heard that there is a route, and the master can be an official, and now that the Guo family is so rich, how can he donate an official?" "Donor? Everyone is lifted, and they don't want to go to the emperor's feet to take a return! ”

“……”

Listening to the research of the people in the village, Village Chief Li regretted it in his heart: Why don't you have the surname Li, if someone in the old Li family is lifted, what a great glory it is!

Thinking so in his heart, Village Chief Li is still very happy. The truth is that the Guo family settled down in Lijia Village, even if the surname is different, the people surnamed Li go out and say that there is a person in the village, and outsiders will look up to it. As the village head, it will be much easier for him to go to the yamen to do things.

Waiting for the rewarded public servant to ride a horse to say goodbye, Village Chief Li came to the Guo family to congratulate: "Your Guo family is a masterpiece of the earth spirit, and your family's actions can't be wrong, congratulations!" ”

Guo Laoshi was still in a fog, and after listening to the village chief's words, he was even more excited and speechless, so he only smirked at the village chief Li.

Or Mu Shi was stable and said with a smile: "Then I will borrow the auspicious words of the village chief, and when my kid returns, I will invite the village chief to come over and drink a glass of water and wine." ”

Seeing that the Guo family did not get high because of the people in the family, Village Chief Li nodded inwardly, naturally he would not miss this opportunity to make friends with the master of the lifter, and even the person who was about to become the master of Jinshi, and quickly said: "You don't need to ask, when the time comes, I will come to the door with a thick face to ask for a cup of wine." ”

When the onlookers heard this, they also stepped forward to congratulate the country, and asked the Guo family to open a living water banquet, and they also came to rub a glass of wine to be happy.

Mu Shi had the heart to do a big job, and when he heard the words, he said loudly: "When my son returns, I will put up a few tables, and my colleagues will not dislike it, even if they come to drink, the wine is enough!" ”

"Okay, it's worthy of being a master's family, it's cool!" Everyone made friends one after another, and they planned to come over that day.

The villagers who were waiting to celebrate gradually dispersed, and it was already the next day, and the Guo family did not have time to eat lunch. At this moment, my heart was filled with excitement, and I didn't know that I was hungry.

Mu sat down and said to his family happily: "It's not in vain that the old lady went to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva on dog days, and she was sick with heat stroke for several days. ”

As soon as he mentioned this, Guo Mianmian couldn't help but have a black face: "Mother, where is the little brother here, there will be another spring in the coming year, and there will be another palace test after the spring festival, when the time comes, even if you go to the temple to ask for the Bodhisattva in the rain and snow, even if you live in the temple and don't go." ”

The big day was scolded, and Mu Shi stretched out his hand to beat her: "Impolite stinky girl, even the old lady dares to stab when she is fat, don't teach the two good grandsons of the bad old lady." ”

Guo Mianmian dodged behind Zheng Rin and grinned at Mu.

This naughty look, Mu Shi was angry and ridiculous when he saw it: "They are all mothers of three children, and they are still so unstable, and they are not afraid of Rin's jokes!" ”

"Joke what? In front of your Bai Chau family, I am also a child! Guo Mianmian is thick-skinned, and there is no physiological burden in what he says.

Mu's heart softened when he heard this, how could he be willing to worry about her: "Don't hide, can I really do it with you?" ”

Guo Mianmian walked out from behind Zheng Rin with a smile, and stepped forward to hold Mu's arm and hold his stinky feet: "It's different to lift people's mothers, this qi is really not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Mu Shi glared at her, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

"You two are like children who don't grow up, and you make trouble like this from time to time, and no one should dislike anyone." Guo Laoshi looked at his old wife and eldest daughter, and shook his head helplessly.

When the rest of the people heard this, they couldn't help but laugh along, and they were already blamed.

Thinking that there was something else to do, Mu stopped laughing and said, "The second and youngest don't know when they will return, so we will have a good meal with our family tonight, and then set a good day when a few of them return, and call all our relatives, friends and close friends to have a drink." ”

Guo Laoshi looked at his eyes, looking forward to it in his heart: "I don't know when the brothers will arrive, I'm afraid there will be many people coming to celebrate these days." ”

Mu said: "This good news has been delivered, I guess I can't wait a few days, and we will pick a few good days later, so that the old man can return to his own choice." ”

Guo Laoshi did not suggest: "Cheng, just do as you say." ”

Guo Mianmian couldn't interject, and when the old couple discussed, Yu Shi smiled and said: "I'm afraid that there are more than people who come to the door to celebrate these two days, and when the Ya Po from all over the world gets the letter, the threshold of our family will also be broken." ”

These words immediately reminded Mu Shi, patted his thigh and said: "Ya Po can tell the old man about his wife, not to mention stepping on the threshold, it is to step our family's land out of a pit, and the old lady will give her a big red seal." ”

Guo Mianmian was afraid that his mother would be impulsive, so he told him his wife without the peace of the younger brother, and quickly persuaded: "Mother, even if there is a tooth woman coming to the door, you don't promise anything, everything will be said when the younger brother returns." ”

Mu didn't take her persuasion to heart, waved his hand and said: "Your little brother is a lifter, it was he himself who said that he would say kiss when he ascended to the imperial examination, we planned first that it was not a bad thing, it was best to settle the marriage before he went to the capital, and get married when he returned after the exam." ”

This arrangement can be described as in vain, Mu is really worried about the long nights and dreams, afraid that the youngest son will find his wife after jumping out of the Zhongjinshi, she is really not enough, who knows if the Jinshi will be as smooth as the examiner, and he will be successful at one time.

Guo Mianmian reminded: "Mother, this is too urgent, I'm afraid that the time is insufficient, the younger brother will have spring next year, and the New Year will have to be opened." ”

Spring is held once every three years, each time in mid-spring, when the weather is still very cold, and the premise is limited, usually the lifts in various places will be pulled out in advance. Like some people who are far away from the capital, they set off a year ago, and they arrive early enough time to adapt to the weather and environment of the capital and adjust the situation to the best.

My home is far away from the capital, and if you go north by boat, it will take a month. The carriage ride will be faster, but it will take at least a month. If there is something on the road, it will be more time-consuming, and her younger brother can go early, so that she can also find a better place to stay.

Mu didn't expect this, and was prompted by Guo Mianmian, and suddenly became excited: "Then you have to find it faster!" No way, I'll have to go to Ya Po and ask them if they have any suitable girls over there. ”

As he spoke, he stood up and went out to find Yapo.

Guo Mianmian never expected that not only did he not help, but also fell into the pit of his younger brother, and he was quite depressed for a while, and grabbed Mu Shi and said: "Mother, you are in a hurry at Bai Suo's house, how can other people bury their heads in picking a good one, or wait for them to come to the door to choose a cheaper one!" ”

Mu Shi thought about it, thought it was reasonable, and sat down again: "You're right, it's not a business to be in a hurry, you can't let Ya Po think that we are in a hurry, and arbitrarily give your little brother a wife." ”

Seeing that the old lady was persuaded to leave, Guo Mianmian wiped a handful of non-existent sweat on her head, and didn't want to care about it anymore. The younger brother is an adult, and he is not a mother-in-law who falls down when the wind blows, so he is annoyed by himself.

……

On the pipeline from Fucheng to Yunlai County, an inconspicuous carriage slowly advanced.

In the carriage, Guo Lin discussed with his younger brother: "Xiaoyu, if nothing happens, we will be able to go to the county seat the day after tomorrow, do you want to rest in the county seat for two days first, otherwise you won't be able to rest when you arrive home." ”

After days of greetings, Guo Yu's face could not hide his tiredness, but he shook his head: "Father and mother are probably looking forward to our arrival home as soon as possible, and I haven't seen the second elder for two or three months, so let's go back!" ”

Guo Lin felt sorry for his younger brother, but he also knew that it was useless to continue persuading, so he had to say: "That's okay, let's take a look at a few small ones in the county seat first, and see if I can take two days off to bring them back." ”

Guo Yu didn't want his nephew to take leave for his promotion, and said: "This time I am lifted, my father and mother will definitely set up a banquet, and it will not be too late to take a few small returns, so as not to take too much leave and provoke the husband to dislike." ”

Guo Lin also knew that his schoolwork was more intense, and when he saw that his younger brother had said so, he didn't mention it again.

Sitting bored, the brothers chatted a little more, Guo Lin suddenly thought of something, and said with a narrow face: "Before I went out to accompany you to catch the exam, my mother said that I would go to the temple to ask for a Bodhisattva, bless you in high school, and she would find a tooth woman to say goodbye to you." Now the good news of your high school lifting has been passed back, saying that maybe my mother has begun to look for the old man. ”

Guo Yu only thought that he had a headache, and said helplessly: "Second brother, don't laugh at me, or help me think about how to deal with my mother!" ”

"Haha, there are times when your kid has a headache!" Guo Lin pointed at him and laughed: "Why are you so afraid of marrying a wife, why don't you learn from your second brother and me, nodding should be done, and it will save you a headache for this matter." ”

"Second brother, you don't understand ......" Guo Yu looked at the green field outside the car through the curtain of the car flying in the wind: "People say that it is not long in this life, but it is not short to say that it is not short, it is not easy to sleep with someone and Meimei for decades, and you must always find a suitable person." ”

Otherwise, how dull and boring it would be to live this life and spend a few decades so much?
