Mao Mingxuan changed into a moon-white robe in the house and went to the main courtyard.

And Chen was so happy in the house that he didn't know what to do.

"Go and prepare a big purse, and the official who will report the good news will come in a while. Go buy firecrackers again, and they will be easy to put in a while. Also, let the kitchen go and buy some good things, and treat Mingxuan well tonight. By the way, I'll go and make a pot of good wine for the master to drink at night. Chen said and said: "By the way, also, everyone in our house will reward two months of monthly silver!" Three months of reward for serving in the Ming Xuan Courtyard! ”

"Madame, sit down and let Fleur redress first." Mama Wu said with a smile: "If you let the eldest young master change his clothes, he should also change his clothes." ”

"Yes, ma'am. Leave these matters to the Roses, and the slaves will wait for you to change your clothes. Fleur laughed.

Both Fleur and Rose are by Chen's side.

"Okay, okay, you all go and arrange it." Chan smiled and sat down at the dresser.

Over there, the little tiger has already run to the barracks.

"Lord Garrison, someone has come to your house." There are soldiers called Mao to carry them. He was playing martial arts with the soldiers.

"You practice first, and I'll come when I go." Mao Cheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the soldiers.

"My lord, today's list is released, there is good news in the house!" A soldier said.

The township test is a big event, and Jiangnan is a place with many talents. So there are a lot of people in Yangzhou who pay attention to this matter. Even in the barracks, some people talked about it. Literati and military generals often do not get along, but they pay attention to each other.

Mao Chengyun doesn't have much on weekdays, and he always mingles with the soldiers. Therefore, many soldiers knew that the son of the garrison was a good student, and this time he also participated in the Autumn Festival.

Mao Carrier just didn't expect it. Now after being reminded by the soldiers, I also remembered. Hurriedly quickened his pace.

As soon as he came out of the martial arts training ground, he saw Xiaohuzi standing there looking at it with a happy face, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

"Master, the young master is Xie Yuan!" Xiaohuzi shouted excitedly when he saw Mao Chengyun from a distance.

His voice was not small, and the people near the martial arts training ground heard this, and they all congratulated Mao Carrier.

Mao Chengyun also had a happy face, although he said modest words in his mouth, he was proud in his heart! Although he Mao Carrier is a big boss, his son is angry! It's a shame to get a solution as soon as you get out of the scene!

"Let's drink another day! I'll go home first! "Mao Carrier gave up to everyone.

"My lord, go quickly! I'm afraid that now the good news is coming to the door! Everyone laughed out loud.

When Mao carried all the way to the gate of the house, he saw that there were firecrackers and gongs and drums at the door, so it was not lively, and there were many onlookers!

Mao Mingxuan helped Chen to stand at the door and greeted the official messenger who reported the good news into the house.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Garrison, congratulations to Mr. Mao, this time Qiu Yu won Xie Yuan!" The official errand is also happy.

"Come in for a cup of tea, come in for a cup of tea!" Chen said with a smile.

The official was not polite, and followed Chen into the mansion. Mao Chengyun also hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to the door of the house, and quickly chased in.

As soon as Chen asked the official to sit down, he saw Mao Chengyun walking in quickly.

"The lord is back! Just right! Just right! Chen said.

"Congratulations, Lord Garrison!" The official also hurriedly stood up and handed over to the carrier.

Mao Chengyun also hurriedly said kind words, and Chen took out the purse that had been prepared a long time ago and stuffed it into the hands of the official.

The official smiled and stuffed it into his sleeve, and said more as if he didn't want money.

After sending off the official errand, Mao Chengyun looked at Mao Mingxuan still with that calm appearance, full of emotion, but in the end he just patted him on the shoulder, but he couldn't speak.

"Amma, my son will work harder!" Mao Mingxuan said. He has set himself goals that go far beyond that.

"Don't get tired." Chen said distressedly. It's a good thing for her son to be angry, but she, who is a mother, feels even more sorry for her son's hard work under the lamp every day.

"It's good to have ambition!" Mao Chengyun encouraged: "Know what you want in order to better work towards your goal." ”

That night, the family sat around the table, looking at a table full of sumptuous dishes, and their faces were full of smiles.

"Spring is next year, when will Mingxuan leave for Beijing?" Chan asked a crucial question.

If you leave too late, you will be in a hurry. If something unexpected happens, it's easy to miss the exam.

"Why don't you take advantage of the cold weather and rush to Beijing in winter. I'll write a letter to my third brother first. It's good for Mingxuan to go over early to get used to it. Chen said again.

"Trouble Uncle again?" Mao Mingxuan's brows furrowed slightly. Last year, Mao Tongtong had already troubled his uncle for a year, and this time he wanted to pass, and it would be another half a year. Although it is said that he is his own uncle, after all, he has seen him very little, and he always feels embarrassed to be troublesome.

"You kid, your own relative. Your uncle won't mind. Chen said. She knew that her younger sibling Su was not too welcome. But Mao Mingxuan's visit this time was different from Mao Tongtong's situation last year.

Mao Tongtong and Chen Ruyu were drafted together last year, and in a sense, the two are competitive.

But this time Mao Mingxuan passed, if he was lifted, there would be light in the third brother's mansion. Su is a smart person, and he won't fail to think of this.

Mao Chengyun also nodded and said, "I want to go earlier." Speaking of which, it only took half a year, and I had to walk for almost a month on the road. If it gets colder, the canal will reach the dry season, and it will be much harder to go to the capital by land. Your uncle's connections in the capital are always stronger than ours here, so you can also inquire in advance who this year's examiner is, and study the examiner's preferences in advance. ”

"That son won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Yangzhou this year." Mao Mingxuan said. In fact, he just didn't want to go to the capital too early.

But I really have to wait for the next year to go to the capital, and the time is really rushed. After all, the first exam of Chunfu is on the ninth day of February.

"I can't help it for the exam. Who told us to stay away from the capital! Chen said.

Speaking of the capital, the three of them remembered Mao Tongtong in the palace. It's a shame that I can't share such good news with her.

Chen and Mao discussed for a while, and finally decided that Mao would contact the ship in Beijing first, ready to leave at any time.

This night, Mao Chengyun was happily drunk. Seeing that Chen helped him into the back room, Mao Mingxuan also went back to his house.

Sitting in front of the window and taking out the letter Mao Tongtong wrote last time, a smile appeared on the corner of Mao Mingxuan's mouth.

If Mao Tongtong is here today, he will definitely jump up happily, and he will hug him and shout: "My eldest brother is the best!" ”

will also cook herself and cook her best braised pork for him to eat.

Looking down at the purse embroidered by Mao Tongtong on his waist, Mao Mingxuan's eyes became extremely firm.
