During the Dragon Boat Festival, Gan Wenli asked people to bring back family letters, money, and Shudi's specialties, "I ran so far, no wonder I didn't come back for the New Year." Gan Er said.

"If the child wants to run, let him run." Gan Tuhu said, "Since I agreed to let him go out, I relaxed." ”

"I didn't say anything." Gan Er said, "It's just that Qian Er misses him a little." ”

"Erlang doesn't know when he will come back, Sanlang heard his mother say that he doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, since Shiro's marriage is decided, the two of you will discuss setting a date to get married within this year." Gan butcher said.

"There's no need to worry about getting married, this is young and orderly, San Lang doesn't say it, why don't you wait for his second brother to get married." Gan Er said.

"If you want to go, you can go." Gan butcher said that the carpenter had asked him for a drink, and asked when he would come to the door to measure the room and make furniture, and that he had saved several cartloads of good wood for the dowry of his daughter.

Isn't this just here to urge.

Gan Wenli also gave Gan Lili a letter, and after Gan Lili knew the second brother's plan, he went to Tang Qian'er and said, "The second brother doesn't go home, and the third brother doesn't want to marry a daughter-in-law for the time being, so I'll get married first, so as not to crowd together when I get it, and it will be difficult for the family to do it." ”

Tang Qian'er was originally happy and melancholy when she received her son's letter, and her eyebrows raised when she heard this, "Your brain is in water?" Your second brother and third brother are not married, are you in such a hurry? ”

"Let's go, I'll be angry when I see you." Tang Qian'er snorted, "You die of that heart, if your second brother doesn't get married, don't think about getting married first." ”

Gan Lili went out with a depressed face, and when he met Gan Er, he was aggrieved and said, "Obviously, the second brother wrote that he had no intention of marrying a wife for the time being, so let me marry first if I have a suitable one, I also see that my mother always envies my aunt for having a sister-in-law, thinking that I would marry earlier and let Xia'er go to my mother to fulfill her filial piety, how can it be mine." ”

"How can you mention this, doesn't it just make your mother angry?" Gan Er said, "Okay, I'll go and persuade her, you can stay by yourself." ”

Gan Lili was depressed and found Gan Mingli, the two went to the restaurant to move back a jar of wine, the two drank together, and after three rounds of wine, Gan Lili was half drunk and said, "Obviously, Wulang and Xiaowen's marriage is also very good, and my uncle doesn't care about it, I don't know what my mother is struggling with, like this, I'm afraid Xia'er won't be able to get a good face when she enters the door." ”

"You really like her." Gan Mingli said.

"Likes are one thing, and on the other hand, apologies." Gan Lili sighed, "My motive for approaching her is not pure, just because I don't want to marry Xiaowen, but now I want to see her mother-in-law's cold face before she enters the door." ”

"It's also that you're not pretty enough." Gan Mingli said, "If you tell your aunt first, you are his own son, and your aunt will always feel sorry for you after scolding and beating, but you first make a rumor and then say, auntie's temperament, it's no wonder if she is not angry." ”

"Besides, she also thinks you've embarrassed Ah Weng for this."

Gan Lili raised his head and poured a glass, "I know that the Zeng family did it on purpose, and their family took a fancy to me, a fast son-in-law who rode the dragon, for fear that I would fly away." ”

"If you know, it's good." Gan Mingli said.

Gan Lili didn't want to tell who was right and who was wrong, in short, both of them had something to ask for, so thinking about it, in fact, no one owes anyone, he looked at Gan Mingli, "Third brother, you really don't want to marry a wife." ”

"Maybe that's God's will, it tells me what the little lady I like looks like, and then tells me that I'm not worthy." Gan Mingli said with a smile, "Otherwise, there are many poets who say that the sea was once difficult to water, but Wushan is not a cloud." ”

"I've seen the best, so how can I do it." Gan Mingli said, "Heng and vertical people will not die if they don't get married." ”

"Third brother, you went to buy eggs and flour nearby, have you ever been to Nanyang?" Ganli asked.

Gan Mingli shook his head, "Forgetting about the rivers and lakes is already the best ending, I only think about her in my heart, so why bother her." ”

"You're such a big lover." Ganli said, "To you." ”

Gan Houli had only taken the county exam before, that is, when he reached the lowest age to take the exam, he tried it in the past, and later reached a consensus with Zhou Xingfeng, saying that he would take the exam together in a few years and take the exam all the way.

However, in order to reduce the burden on his family, he planned to take the township examination in advance, although this township examination and the general examination were not connected, and he had to enter Beijing again the year after tomorrow. But for his current age, it's not a bad thing

After the township examination, there are people who can be lifted, the tuition of the White Crane Academy can be exempted, and the family can be exempted from field tax and miscellaneous labor, and it can be regarded as spending so much money in the family to finally be able to return one or two.

Before the township examination, he still had to take the prefectural examination and the college examination twice, but these exams were like the big exams in the academy for him, and there was no nervousness.

In the autumn, he was going to Fucheng to take the township exam, he said it very easily, and his family only thought that he was going to the academy in Fucheng to exchange the exam. Wait until the people from the county government beat the gongs and drums to come over to report the good news, "Jiangyang is sweet and generous, and he is the seventh in the township examination, congratulations to the master, congratulations to the master." ”

Gan Butcher was surprised and suddenly lost his mind on the spot, but Liu Sanniang quickly reacted and asked Wu Yaoyao to get the copper plate to spread the joy, and there were many children and neighbors who followed the officials, and everyone had a share.

"My brother is so happy." The master bookkeeper smiled and said that he had dealt with Gan Butcher for half his life, and he handled the paperwork for Gan Butcher to buy land and houses.

Now there is no need for Gan Butcher to do things, he is willing to give him convenience, "As soon as I saw that the name was familiar, I followed to congratulate my brother." The master said that their relationship could be closer in the future.

Gan Butcher came back to his senses at this time, he pulled the master book and burst into tears before he could speak, "My lord, you know me, it is not easy for my family to take root in Jiangyang, I have worked hard all my life just for a few children, and now the children have a future." ”

"I haven't lived in vain in my life."

"It's not just that you didn't live in vain, and you raise a person, that's the glory of the ancestors." The main book said, "I don't know if our new lifter is here, and I am also touched by the joy of Wenquxing." ”

"Unfortunately, he went out to his classmate's house, and he is not here now." Liu Sanniang personally served tea and snacks, "Today's big joy, adults must stay for a quick meal." ”

Gan Houli is now in Yuanwaifu, and he is following Zhou Xingfeng to receive the county order, "We Jiangyang have not had a solution for fifty years, and now it is Wenqu Xing who has descended to earth and landed in our Jiangyang." ”

After the exam together, Zhou Xingfeng won the first place in the exam, which was for Xie Yuan.

Zhou Lang's face turned red with excitement, and he had to say, "My lord Hugh wants to praise him, this is not counting, it depends on his performance in the examination." ”

"Zhou Yuanwai is showing off, Ling Lang is so young and has such achievements, isn't it a Wenqu star?" The county magistrate said that it was a great merit that he could have the first place in the examination under his rule.

"It's a pity that I didn't try next year, and I have to do it the year after next." The county order said, "I can't wait to see Zhou Gongzi come to Lianzhong Sanyuan, it is a sensational thing for the government and the opposition, Jiangyang's centennial glory." ”

"There are people outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky, and they will try to gather elites from all over the world, as long as I can win, I don't want to be the first place." Zhou Xingfeng said. He is a pragmatist, and the entrance examination is only the threshold for entering the officialdom, and it depends on the later management. The champion is the scenery, but it is also the target.

The county magistrate noticed Gan Houli and asked him who he was, after Gan Houli reported to his home, the county magistrate felt that this name was a little familiar, and the master smiled on the side and said, "This is also a new filial piety, the seventh place in the township examination, the main book is to go to his house to report the good news." ”

Knowing his ranking, Gan Houli couldn't see the excitement, he knew that he would definitely pass the exam, so he was already prepared in his heart.

"This is also a literary star." The county commander exclaimed, "If it weren't for Zhou Gongzi's first place in the exam, I would have to go to your house to congratulate you on the seventh place in the exam." ”

"Shichiro and I have been together since we arrived at the White Crane Academy, and we said that we would take the exam together and go to the capital together." Zhou Xingfeng said.

The county magistrate gave a thumbs up when he heard this, "High, it's really high, the two of you have such a feeling, and in the future, you will go to the capital to be admitted to the sergeant and become an official together." It's not easy to have one or two close friends in this officialdom, and you have a good ally with you. ”

Gan Houli accompanied him to have a meal at Zhou's house, and when the county order and Zhou Lang were drunk, Zhou Xingfeng asked people to prepare a car to send Gan Houli back, "Your family must be anxious to wait for you to go back to celebrate." ”

"You lead the bridge for me and introduce it to the county order, I know your kindness." Gan Houli drank less, and his eyes were shining.

"What kind intentions, didn't you listen to what the county order said, I have the condition to be good to you, you must be admitted to the Jinshi with me, become an official together, you are a good ally I have chosen since I was a child." Zhou Xingfeng patted him on the shoulder contrivedly, "Go back, I have been feasting around for the past few days, I guess I can't meet each other, and when I make an appointment to go back to the academy, let Yan Song tell you that we will go back together." ”

Gan Houli nodded.

Yuan Xinqiao prepared a lot of things in the car to celebrate his passing in the exam, this poor disciple who Zhou Lang didn't like to be excluded at first, finally won a place in the heart of the master of the Zhou family by himself.
