waited until almost the second half of the morning before Song Chongjin rushed home with the support of everyone.

Entering Swallow Lane, there was a servant who opened the way, shouting while beating the gong: "Song Chongjin, a student of Evergreen Academy, the third place in the undergraduate autumn examination, sends Master Song Juren back to his home——"

I was already well-informed and lively, but I went to the dock today to take a look, and I saw Song Chongjin from afar.

It's just that the Song family didn't set off firecrackers, and they didn't come to the door at once, they were all waiting for news at home.

Listening to this voice at this moment, not only did the adults not hold back, but the children had already run out and watched the excitement at the door.

Yang Zongbao listened to the movement outside, and hurriedly lifted the firecrackers that Mrs. Zhang and the others had prepared a long time ago with a pole, and broke them with fire, and the red crumbs exploded all over the ground with a crackle.

The children covered their ears, screamed, laughed, and the alley suddenly became lively.

Beating gongs and drums, he walked to the door of the Song family's small courtyard, the courtyard door had already been opened, and the stewards brought by Yang Zongbao and Imperial Doctor Du were already waiting at the door.

After the official who opened the way to report the good news stepped forward and said a lot of auspicious words, he hurriedly stuffed a few purses, which were heavy.

The servant pinched it, knew it in his heart, and said a few good words before leaving.

The neighbors next to him had been waiting for a long time, and when they saw that the servant was gone, they rushed up and came to the door to congratulate them with their own gifts.

It was also a loss to open up the front yard, and all the guests were welcomed to the front yard.

The sensible one delivered the gift, said congratulations, said that he would visit another day, and said goodbye.

There is the uninteresting one, sitting in the hall, wishing that his ass would grow on the stool and not leave.

Imperial Doctor Du saw that it was not a method, it was too late to boil water on the stove house, and the legs of Mrs. Wu, Gu Yu, and the maids brought by Mrs. Qi were about to run away.

The guests are still coming to the door.

There is no way, Imperial Doctor Du personally went out, only said that today's preparation is not thorough, the place is small, and I have neglected everyone, everyone's hearts have been received, and tomorrow I will invite you to a banquet in the restaurant in the city.

That's when they were all sent out.

When they were sent away, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

asked the steward to take someone to clean up the mess in the front yard, and Imperial Doctor Du took Song Chongjin and Yang Zongbao to the backyard.

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Qi were already looking through the autumn water in the backyard, and they only saw Song Chongjin at this moment.

Mrs. Zhang looked at it first, and couldn't help but say, "It's dark, it's thin-"

Mrs. Qi on the side nodded in agreement.

Imperial Physician Du has a black face, can you see the blackness of Song Chongjin's face?

After entertaining guests for a long time, everyone had a dry mouth.

Brought the tea, moistened his throat, and then had time to ask Song Chongjin.

As soon as Song Chongjin entered the house, he saw Wang Yongzhu, who had not seen him for almost a month, if it weren't for so many people present, he couldn't wait to take his daughter-in-law in his arms and kiss the two of them.

At this moment, he can only give a look, and he has to accept the stormy care of his mother-in-law.

From eating well or not? Do you sleep well? Have you ever been bullied? Can you get used to living outside? Everything is small, from the hair to the soles of the feet.

If it were an ordinary person, it would probably be impatient, but Song Chongjin was extremely useful, not only answered honestly, but also smiled and didn't get bored at all.

This well-behaved appearance, not only Mrs. Zhang looked comfortable, but Mrs. Qi couldn't help but sigh, this is someone else's child, look, be more obedient, those in their own family, if they asked so, they would have run away a long time ago.

After Mrs. Zhang and the others cared about it, Taiyi Du asked about the situation of this lift, did Lu County Ling say anything today?

Song Chongjin then told the story.

He originally planned to come back after the exam, but because of the persuasion of his classmates, he thought that he would too, so he stayed longer.

There are only more than 100 people in Qingzhou Mansion this time, and the first name Xie Yuan is another student of Evergreen Academy who has a good relationship with him, and the clerk is clear.

After the list is released, all the winners will go to meet the examiner, the academic master.

Although the scholars and politicians had a lot to do, they also met them in person, said a few words, and served tea to the guests.

In this way, it is already extremely rare, that is, they are in the top ten to have this honor, and the others are just drinking tea in the side hall, and they can't even see the face of the scholars.

After meeting with the Governor, the Governor presided over the Luming Banquet, which specially invited them to the middle school.

This time, except for the top three positions, who were rewarded with a few warm words from the governor and a set of four treasures of the study, everyone else could only watch.

Because of this, it was delayed for a few days.

As for the Lu County Order, because there were 26 people in Jing County this time, they had never had the glory, and they were always very happy, and they also said that they would give the top ten students in the examination a reward of 20 taels of silver and a set of four treasures in the study. If you don't hit the top ten, you will also be rewarded with a set of four treasures in the study.

Doctor Du listened and nodded: "In a while, I will ask the steward to go to the restaurant, and I will thank everyone who came to congratulate me today." I have to prepare a gift tomorrow and go to Evergreen Academy to thank Dean Xie and Master, and I must not slack off. Now is the time for flowers, and it doesn't matter if there is an oversight, others will see it. Be more careful not to give someone a hand! ”

Song Chongjin nodded yes.

Mrs. Qi over there also explained to Wang Yongzhu: "It's a good thing that Chongjin is a child, and I have to send a letter back to my hometown to make the family happy." When this matter is over, I have to go back to hold a banquet and reward the villagers, so as not to be provoked. ”

Wang Yongzhu also agreed.

Seeing that it was not too early, Imperial Physician Du got up and said goodbye: "It's getting late today, we should go back too." In the past few days, I have dealt with all these people's feelings and sophistication, only remember one thing, don't collect things indiscriminately. Since you have been lifted, there is still a long way to go, so don't hinder the future for the sake of petty profits. ”

Song Chongjin was grateful in his heart and personally sent Imperial Doctor Du and Mrs. Qi out.

Before Mrs. Qi got into the carriage, she reluctantly took Song Chongjin's hand: "But you're tired, right?" Rest early, you don't have to worry about the banquet, I will let Du San stay at your house in the past few days, and I can also take a hand, and I can go back when I am busy for a while. ”

This is distressing Song Chongjin.

Song Chongjin agreed without seeing anyone outside, and Mrs. Qi was extremely happy.

After sending away Imperial Doctor Du, everyone was too tired to do anything, so they would go to rest after eating a little, and they would have to be busy in the future.

When he returned to the house, before Wang Yongzhu could speak, he was hugged by Song Chongjin in his arms, "Yongzhu, I was admitted!" In the future, I will come back when I earn the phoenix crown and the fate! ”

Wang Yongzhu nodded, broke away from Song Chongjin's embrace slightly, and dragged him to sit on the kang together, so that he could take a closer look.

I haven't seen him for a month, Song Chongjin's whole person is a little more stable and introverted, maybe because of the middle lift, the eyebrows seem calm, and the looming anger before has disappeared.

Come to think of it, being able to win the lift is also a little less urgent pressure for Song Chongjin, right?

After Wang Yongzhu finished looking, he saw Song Chongjin take out a small box from his arms and hand it to Wang Yongzhu.

"Given!"

Wang Yongzhu opened it and saw that there was a silver hairpin inside, and the hairpin head was inlaid with a piece of mutton fat white jade, which was warm and crispy, very delicate and elegant, and not ostentatious.

"Now I am still in filial piety, I only bought this, and when I am filial, I will wear it for the person who bought gems." Song Chongjin said, pulled the hairpin, and carefully inserted it on Wang Yongzhu's head.

In the black hair, there is a little white jade, which looks more and more black and crow-like, and the eyes are like autumn water.

Seeing that Song Chongjin was stupid for a while.
