Chapter 188: Red Eyes
readx;? Of course, the officials were not stupid, and they also knew that at this time, the people who had received the letter were still busy greeting the relatives and friends who had come to congratulate them, and where would they have the time to entertain them, so they declined very politely.

Seeing this, Zishu took the purse in Ziwei's hand, handed it to the leading official and said, "Trouble sending big brother you to go this trip, even if it means that we invite you to drink tea!"
He couldn't imagine that this little peasant family would give them such a generous reward of silver, in fact, the reason why these people rushed to come here today was not for the silver, but for the head of the case and a double show, and they also wanted to make a good fortune for themselves, so even if Ziluo and they didn't give them a reward, they wouldn't have a second word!
Do you think about how many people in this Baiyue Mansion can pass the first case of the college examination at the age of fourteen? Is the future of such a talent that you and I can predict?
"Thank you Young Master Dong, Second Young Master Dong's reward! Thank you for the brothers below! The case leader that Young Master Dong can be admitted to the hospital examination at the age of fourteen is not the first and youngest case leader in our Baiyue Mansion, but it is definitely the youngest case leader in our Baiyue Mansion in the past 20 years! The future of Young Master Dong will be limitless! Moreover, one of the two talents in the examination at the same time is also a rare thing in our Baiyue Mansion, and the county magistrate also said that this double talent is also an incomparably glorious thing in our county......"
Although the leading official said these words for the sake of the silver, most of them were also his sincere words! According to his observations today, he had a hunch that these two young masters of the Dong family were definitely not in the pool!
After the official left, the people in the village came up to congratulate Ziluo and them!
After Fifth Uncle Gao congratulated Ziluo and them, he couldn't help but ask Ziluo curiously: "Brother Shu, Brother Xuan, just now those officials said that you were not only admitted to Xiucai, but what kind of student is that, what kind of student is that?"
"That's a student, and the top 20 who are admitted to Xiucai every year are all students. Zishu replied.
"Brother Shu, what's the benefit of becoming a?" Someone asked curiously.
The other villagers were curious, and the people in the village were always interested in this.
"In addition to being the same as other Xiucai, you can give your family's fields below 50 acres tax-exempt, as well as exemption from Ding tax, two taels of silver issued by the imperial court every year and exemption from the shackles of the county school, this student can also have one tael of silver per month issued by the imperial court, and the food fee for the county school is exempted. Zishu patiently continued to explain.
"In this way, this student is the top 20 of the most powerful in Xiucai, Brother Shu, Brother Xuan, you can not only be admitted to Xiucai, but also become a Xiusheng, it's really amazing!" After listening to Zishu's explanation, Uncle Gao also understood what a student was.
The people around also praised it one after another, and everyone was shocked by the appearance of Zishu and Zixuan.
In the eyes of the people in the village, it is already a powerful thing in their eyes to be admitted to Xiucai, you must know that their village has only produced Chen Shaoqing and Dong Yu over the years.
This Zishu, Zixuan and they can not only be admitted to Xiucai, but also be named as a student, which can't help but make everyone envious, of course, the treatment of this student also makes them admire!
However, it is inevitable that some people will have other thoughts, such as jealousy, red-eyed and so on.
"Yo, then Brother Shu, Brother Xuan, you have been admitted to this student, that is, all year round, you don't have to do anything, you will have nearly thirty taels of silver! Oh, that's thirty taels of silver! Pity us mud-legged people who work all year round, the silver you can earn is not as good as you! Brother Shu, Brother Xuan, you are so rich, but you have to take good care of us poor people! Don't forget Ben!" Aunt Pan said loudly in a weird voice on the side.
Aunt Chen and Uncle Chen, Tie Dan They were afraid that Ziluo and their greeting officials would not be in place, or they would be short of manpower, so they had just followed the official who reported the good news to Ziluo and them.
At this time, Aunt Chen heard Aunt Pan say this, and she was afraid that the people present would be led by Aunt Pan's nose, so she said: "Hey, isn't this Lin Ziniang? Yo! Didn't you say that you would be the wife of an official some time ago, why do you say that you are a mud leg now?"
"You ......" Aunt Pan is angry!
This year, in addition to Zishu, Zixuan, and Tiedan, the three of them died, and there were also Aunt Pan's sons Lin Zi and Jiang Chunsheng in the village!
Aunt Pan said in the village when she was taking the county exam in Lin Zi before, she would soon be the wife of the official, and there was a faint meaning in her words that the people in the village were first-class, but she offended a lot of people at that time.
However, in the end, Lin Zi and Jiang Chunsheng didn't pass the county exam!
Jiang Chunsheng forgot it, the people in the village didn't have much feeling that he was off the list, but Aunt Pan made many people laugh at it this time!
When everyone saw it, they also knew that Aunt Pan's eye redness had been committed again, so they all showed disdain!
Aunt Pan also knew that she couldn't please her today, so she couldn't help but scold and leave: "Isn't it just a broken showman, who is rare, a group of ...... who worship high and step on low"
Ziluo and the others didn't think they heard Aunt Pan's words, although Zi Tao had the intention of being mad, but Du Ziluo also reacted!
Ziluo and the others continued to greet the villagers with a smile and a polite face, and they were not affected by Aunt Pan's words just now.
Ziluo and the others soon carried a basket of copper coins out to give everyone happy money according to the practice in the village!
Aunt Pan, who had just walked not far away, was very annoyed when she saw it, why didn't she think of this happy money?!
She was about to go back to pick up the money, but she had just taken two steps, and she couldn't pull her face when she thought about it, so she stopped abruptly.
However, when she saw that the copper coin was being distributed in a hurry, and it had not been finished for a long time, she couldn't stand it anymore, and she couldn't care about any face, so she ran back and picked up the happy money with everyone!
It's hateful that she didn't pick up a few just after she ran back, and a basket of copper coins was distributed!
Aunt Pan's nose was crooked!!
Her face is worth these five copper coins!!
Aunt Pan saw that someone began to notice her and returned, but she couldn't help but be a little hot because she was thick-skinned enough, and this time she really ran away.
Ziluo has always been paying attention to Aunt Pan's movements, this Aunt Pan's behavior just now can make Ziluo happy, seeing that Aunt Pan finally came back cheekily to pick up copper coins, but before she picked up a few they were gone, Ziluo almost laughed. However, when she saw that Aunt Pan's situation was enough for her to lose face without them saying anything, she didn't laugh, she didn't say anything, she beat the water dog or something, let's not do it! Anyway, except for this Aunt Pan's mouth, the two of them don't have any deep hatred!
When she came back to her senses, Ziluo looked at the people in front of the courtyard picking up happy money, a lively and prosperous scene, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional!
After distributing the money, someone asked Ziluo when they would have a celebratory feast.
Ziluo and the others knew that this banquet was a common practice in the village since Chen Shaoqing and Dong Yu, and the people in front of them had a wedding banquet after the show, and Ziluo and the others who followed outside were not easy to do, so Zishu said loudly, they will hold this banquet, but this time has not yet been decided, and everyone will definitely be notified when the time comes!
The next day, Zishu, Zixuan, and Tie Dan went together to participate in the county order's flower-viewing banquet, and after coming back, Ziluo asked Zishu what they had seen at the flower-viewing banquet, Zishu They said that in addition to seeing the county order and some of the small officials under the county order, there were also candidates who were admitted to the show together this time, and the county order also specially asked Zishu, Zixuan about their rice field and fish farming, and also told Zishu to remember to report to the county yamen ten days in advance when they harvested!
It seems that this county makes them still very concerned about this rice field and fish farming!
After discussing with Aunt Chen, Ziluo and Aunt Chen finally decided to hold a banquet together, so they set up a shed in the open space between Ziluo and Aunt Chen's house, and then they would be the guests of this big banquet!
So, at the banquet three days later, Ziluo and their sisters can be said to be like a market!
In order to hold this banquet, Ziluo's family and Aunt Chen's family each killed a pig, and Ziluo's family had chickens, so there was no need to buy them, as for other dishes, Shopkeeper Liu took care of everything, and on the same day, Shopkeeper Liu also sent two cooks to run the banquet for Ziluo.
Early in the morning, the shopkeeper Liu's father and son, Lao Zhou and his wife and their three sons, Rong Feng, Rong Fifth Uncle, and Rong Nan arrived at Ziluo and them!
Then, the shopkeeper of Jufangzhai in the town, as well as the father and son of the forester, and some people from the township also arrived, and finally, to the surprise of Ziluo and their daughters, Mayor Shen and his wife also came in person!
Ziluo and the others are busy running the banquet, entertaining the guests, and recording the gifts given by everyone, so it can be said that they are too busy to do anything!
For Zishu and Zixuan, when they were admitted to Xiucai, everyone's reaction was different!
Dong Erlang's house.
"Mother, are we really going to congratulate Brother Shu on their cheap bones later?" Dong Mei said with a frown.
"Don't you want to go? Then why did you and your uncle come here? Sister Mei, didn't my mother say you, why did you suffer so much loss in your husband's family and haven't grown yet!"
"This woman is married, this mother's family is her confidence and backer! Do you know why your father has always listened to me, this is not because my mother has many brothers and a good family background. Let's just say you, if it weren't for Brother Yu'er and he was a showman, would you be able to marry into the He family? You don't know what kind of character the He family is, if you didn't have a good big brother, they would have eaten you a long time ago!"
Dong Huang's heart is broken for this willful daughter, I thought that Dong Mei would marry into the He family to be in a blessed nest, but who knew that this He family was just a superficial one, but it was full of unsightly filth!
was afraid that Dong Mei would continue to be willful, so Dong Huang continued to persuade Dong Mei.
