Of the five people in the village who went to the exam this time, three of them were admitted, and Zhang Dongsheng was two times higher than Xiaoya.

His father also brought things to Wei Jin's house to thank them for their tips.

This time, there was Dongsheng's mother and two married sisters.

"The Dongzhen family asked someone to come to find it later, just two days ago, they said that they didn't mean that before, it was a mistake when the matchmaker passed the message. Now they still say that they don't want us to hire, they will give them a dowry, as long as they can get married, and they will get married before the year. ”

To be honest, when she heard this condition, Dongsheng Niang was a little moved in her heart, so she didn't say anything, no, today the other party also asked someone to send He Yi.

Wei Jin was also helping to pick vegetables next to him, and when he heard this, he looked up left and right, and hit Sister Dongsheng with his elbow.

"Listen to me, you ask someone to inquire privately, don't let people know, see what the character of the girl in that family is."

She was a little suspicious in her heart, but after all, it was a felony to communicate privately in this era, and she couldn't say it too clearly for the sake of the innocence of the girl. In short, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Sister Dongsheng is a shrewd person, if she hadn't objected to it, Dongsheng Niang might have agreed.

Hearing Wei Jin's words, she was stunned, and then nodded: "Should I find someone to inquire privately." Marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous person, if you get a stirring spirit back, everyone has never had a life. ”

With that, she got up anxiously, wiped her hands, and ran to find someone.

Wei Jin tried to persuade her to slow down, but she didn't have time to speak.

"It's okay, my eldest sister is careful and won't leave people behind." The second sister of Dongsheng is used to seeing it, her eldest sister is a worrying life, and her mother-in-law has to worry about her mother's family if she can't finish it, "It's also that the eldest sister and her husband have a good relationship, she gave birth to a big fat boy in the first year of marriage, and now her mother-in-law doesn't want to worry about her more." ”

In contrast, the small family of the second sister of Dongsheng is tepid. It's not that the relationship is bad, but I always feel a little worse. However, marrying a chicken and marrying a dog is like a dog, she has no other ideas than to accept her fate.

A few little daughters-in-law and big girls got together, and most of them judged the young men in the village. The eldest girl is a little better, after all, she is not married, and she has to be more restrained, but the little daughters-in-law are different, looking at the eyes of those young men as if picking good melons, those young men dare not look at them.

"Speaking of which, Sanhua'er, you're also twelve this year, aren't you in a hurry to show her Dahua'er?"

Da Hua'er glanced at Wei Jin, smiled and shook her head: "Sanhua'er has a good idea in her heart, besides, she is not still young, and she will talk about it when she is older." As far as the character and ability of our Sanhua'er are concerned, they can't be found casually in the village. When my mother was there, she said that Sanhua's in-laws had to be happy with her. ”

Everyone doesn't say it, they all know in their hearts that Sanhua's origin may not be ordinary, but the people in the village are kind, and they have seen Sanhua who was rescued for many years, which is really miserable and distressing.

Wei Jin didn't like the topic to be wrapped around herself, so she consciously changed the topic.

"I heard from Uncle Clan that someone from the Wei family's house has already come, and it is said that it should have arrived in the past two days, why is there no news until today?"

"When I said I was coming down by boat, there was a delay on the way. My man didn't say anything, and it didn't seem to be a big deal, but he was stopped for two days. Calculate the time, not today but tomorrow. ”

As they were talking, they heard the sound of people coming from the entrance of the village.

"Say everyone is coming, this is not coming."

The two sisters-in-law, who were standing and doing things, had already seen the carriage enter the village, and that style was not something they had in the countryside.

After a while, sure enough, the village chief and several clan elders came over with a middle-aged and bearded Confucian student, and the one standing next to him was Wei Zan and Wei Gongzi.

The women were not qualified to come forward to meet the guests, so the members of the Wei family, as well as the Zhang family and several other family members with small surnames, went to meet the Confucian student.

"I heard that no, that gentleman is in charge of the clan verification of the clan, and he came to us in person this time, so he should have determined the origin of our branch."

The gap between the small family with the surname and the wealthy family can be described as a world of difference. In the past, the Wei family had to rely on the local surname Zhang, but now it is the other way around, and the Wei family has become one of the important branches of the Beidi Wang clan, and the surname Zhang is just an ordinary family surname. In the future, there will be a huge difference between the children and the places where they are in.

Fortunately, the Wei clan is not an arrogant and domineering clan, on the contrary, they have always been gentle and polite to the outside world, whether they are facing high-ranking officials or rural villagers, they have achieved equal treatment.

While they were chatting here, the three children who were admitted to Xiucai were led to the middle-aged Confucian scholars.

Three children, the eldest is seventeen years old, and the youngest is nine years old.

The older one is the descendant of the Mi family, their family is a foreign surname, and they fled here forty years ago to settle here, and they claim to be farming and reading heirlooms, but in fact, that's it.

The second is Zhang Dongsheng, who has been raising a little bit of meat these days, and he doesn't look as intimidating as before, but he still looks too thin, so he asked Confucius to say a few more words.

In the end, Wei Mao Xing Wei Dabao, the smile in the eyes of the Confucian scholar was more condensed, and when he heard that he was only nine years old, he stroked his long beard and told him not to rush to continue to play, and he needed to lay a solid foundation.

"You are still young, and you are not in a hurry for this little time, so you will follow Ah Chan to read more books in the future, and strive to pass it once."

After speaking, he didn't snub the previous two.

"The two of you too, although Ah Chan has not participated in the imperial examination, his knowledge is excellent. You two can also consult him more on weekdays. ”

The Mi boy and Zhang Dongsheng showed happy expressions, and they all saluted and thanked the Confucian scholar and Wei Zhan.

In addition to verbal praise, the Confucian scholars also specially prepared a greeting gift for several of them.

Those who have passed the hospital examination, in addition to a set of four treasures of the study, there are also ten taels of silver for one person, let them make two good clothes, and they can wear them when they go to the county school to study. The other scholars have a set of four treasures of the study. These things are not of high value, but what they get from the hands of the Confucian scholars of the Wei family naturally have different meanings.

The flowing water banquet was set up for three days, and the married daughters of each family could come to eat and be happy.

After that, it was the ceremony of the Wei family to open the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors.

No one else participated in this ceremony, and the presiding priest was the patriarch of the Wei clan and the one from the main family.

All the Wei men changed into clean clothes, and the scholars put on Confucian clothes and followed the process in a regular manner.

Knowing that the moon is in the middle of the sky, all the sacrificial processes are over.

None of the four sisters of the Wei family slept, waiting for Dabao to come back.

Unlike others, Wei Jin was a little restless in the past two days, and for some reason, every time she saw the Confucian scholar from the main family, she always felt a little inexplicable emotion in her heart. It's just that her expression is well managed, and she can't detect her abnormality when she is idle. What was discovered was the little tooth on her body where all her thoughts were on.
