337: Hearing is false, seeing is believing
Everyone in the second room knows that Mrs. Zhu doesn't like Cheng Qing's family.
The subordinates said that Young Master Cheng Qing had won the champion, and Mrs. Zhu fell down the curtain, "Nonsense!" ”
I still don't believe it.
Zhong closed his mouth tightly and said nothing.
Because once he talked to his mother-in-law, Zhong couldn't help but pour out the anger that had accumulated for more than half a month - what a disgusting old woman, she couldn't see the success of her own son and grandson in her eyes, she would only stare at others.
Zhong didn't expect his son Cheng Qi to be able to get six yuan and the first, and he was admitted to the second class jinshi, and Zhong was already very happy.
Old Madam Zhu's performance diluted Zhong's joy.
Zhong didn't want to deal with his mother-in-law at all, and from Tongzhou to the capital, he only talked to Huang along the way.
In order not to irritate his mother-in-law, Zhong also avoided scientific research and only talked about Cheng Jue's marriage with his concubine.
The two concubines ignored Mrs. Zhu's ugly expression, and Mrs. Zhu was naturally even more angry.
When the carriage and horses of the second room entered the city gate, Mrs. Zhu suddenly became a demon and must take a detour to the left gate of Chang'an.
After the ceremony, the yellow list of the palace test will be posted on the palace wall of the left gate of Chang'an for three days, and the deadline has not yet reached today, and the yellow list can still be seen at the left gate of Chang'an.
Hearing is false, seeing is believing, no one said what Mrs. Zhu didn't believe, she had to see it with her own eyes.
Zhong couldn't wait to slap Mrs. Zhu to death.
From Nanyi to the capital, after tossing and turning on the road for so long, Zhong just wanted to see his son and husband early.
Huang looked at his sister-in-law's face cautiously, and persuaded Mrs. Zhu with a dry smile:
"Mother, you see that everyone is in the dust, let's go to the residence as soon as possible, I know that you want to see Brother Jue's name on the yellow list with your own eyes, we might as well -"
"Shut up!"
Old Madam Zhu was furious, "The old body is not bedridden yet, one or two of you will start to be disobedient and unfilial, go to the left gate of Chang'an quickly!" ”
Huang ate a meal, and he was also aggrieved.
The movement in the carriage alarmed Cheng Sanye, who was riding a horse.
Cheng Zhishu came to ask what was going on, and Mrs. Zhu said that the Huang family was against her mother-in-law.
The Huang family looked at her husband aggrievedly, and Cheng Zhishu couldn't persuade her mother, so the stalemate was still the Zhong family's relief and said that she would go to the left gate of Chang'an first.
Old Madam Zhu snorted heavily.
Zhong's ears were red, and his face was full of anger.
If you don't give in, your mother-in-law will definitely make the whole family uneasy, and you can't be laughed at by others on the first day of the second room in Beijing.
Zhong's concession is not filial piety, but for the reputation of her husband Cheng Zhixu and son Cheng Qi, and there is a revenge mentality:
Don't you want to see the Yellow List?
Then go and see it!
Anyway, after reading the yellow list, the person who is angry is not himself after all.
The Zhong family originally didn't have any feelings for Cheng Qing, the six yuan and the first or something were all tested by Cheng Qing based on his own ability, there are so many excellent people in this world, all of them have to be jealous, tired and tired.
However, at this time, the Zhong family had a lot of expectations for Cheng Qing - if Cheng Qing was more powerful and made his mother-in-law angry to death at one time, he would have a lot less trouble in the future!
No, if you are angry, your husband and son will have to worry about filial piety.
Zhong quickly withdrew the curse, and secretly blamed herself for not being angry just now, but when she wanted to change her mind, Old Madam Zhu refused to listen, and kept urging the groom to hurry up with a dark face.
It is the third day of the release of the list, and there are still many people outside the left gate of Chang'an who linger in front of the yellow list.
In just two or three days, the troupe has already compiled a new play of "Wenqu Xing's reincarnation of Cheng's son, and the champion Lang is young and vibrates the lintel" in rehearsal!
The troupe's new play could not be performed on stage, and the play book was accidentally circulated, and the storyteller of the teahouse restaurant took the lead.
If Mrs. Zhu went to the teahouse and restaurant to listen, there would be more guests cheering for Cheng Zhuangyuan than the porter at Tongzhou Wharf.
This has been compiled into a play book and circulated, and the people in the capital are naturally very curious about the yellow list of this year's palace examination.
From the ceremony on March 18 to today, the people of the entire capital have not stopped, and they have come to see the list wave after wave.
It took thousands of years to produce a 'six yuan and first', and those who have a scholar at home want to come and get into the literary atmosphere.
When the people in the second room arrived at the left gate of Chang'an, they had to line up to see the list.
In fact, most of the people who watched the list today have been reduced, and everyone knows that today is the day when Cheng Zhuangyuan took the jinshi to visit the Confucian Temple, and they all went to the Guozijian to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Zhu didn't know the depth, the carriage and horses in the second room were blocked, and she couldn't enter, and it was difficult to retreat.
Mrs. Zhu originally wanted to lift the curtain on the carriage and leave, but now she can't squeeze in front of the list in the carriage, so she can only be helped out of the carriage.
Huang and Zhong also got out of the car.
Wherever the mother-in-law went, they had to follow.
If you don't come, you will come, and the Zhong family also wants to see the yellow list with their own eyes, which has the name of their son Cheng Qi on it!
None of the magnates and eunuchs in the capital came to see the list on the third day, and now the people who come to the left gate of Chang'an are merchants and ordinary people, and Mrs. Zhu frowned when she saw these peddlers and pawns.
Cheng Zhishu took a few subordinates, and finally opened up a way for his mother, and Mrs. Zhu held the hand of her third daughter-in-law Huang and squeezed to the front of the list.
The first name on the yellow list is Cheng Qing.
Zhou Zheng, who writes stroke by stroke, will never admit mistakes again.
Old Madam Zhu grabbed Huang's arm at once, and Huang couldn't help but exhale pain.
"Fake, all fake!"
"You lied to me!"
"What six dollars and the first, are all fake......"
There are soldiers guarding in front of the yellow list.
No matter who looks at the list, I'm afraid that someone will have the audacity to remove the yellow list in less than three days...... This thing really almost happened, last night there were a few people who wanted to be literary and wanted to go crazy, sneakily came over to steal the yellow list, and were captured on the spot by the guards of the soldiers, and now several people are still locked up in the prison of the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion.
The guards are also considered to have a long experience, someone tried to steal the yellow list last night, and today there are still people who question the yellow list in public whether it is fake!
"Who are you, questioning the authenticity of the Huang Bang, come with us to the yamen!"
Mrs. Zhu cried and laughed, she was the old lady of the second room, and the people in the second room had to be accustomed to obeying filial piety.
But for the soldiers guarding the Yellow List, this is a gaffe old woman.
To Xiaoli said that it was the old woman's nonsense, and to Dali said that it was questioning the results of the palace examination - Cheng Zhishu was about to cry, and he was going to go to the Yamen on the first day of entering Beijing, and if it was spread out, Cheng's face would be lost.
He hurriedly identified himself and explained in every possible way, saying that his mother was happy and stupid.
"Don't dare to question the yellow list, we are Cheng Zhuangyuan's family."
Is it?
Some people who are admitted to the Jinshi exam will indeed be so happy that they are obsessed with phlegm.
However, the Jinshi family who is so happy that they lose their hearts and go crazy is rare.
Thinking about it, no one dared to pretend to be the family of the champion father, and the soldier immediately changed his smile: "The old lady has to take care of herself when she is old, Cheng Zhuangyuan's six yuan and the first can't be fake, old lady, don't be too excited." ”
Old Madam Zhu's mouth trembled, her hands trembled, and her legs trembled, and she really looked like she was overjoyed.
