Leap mid-August.

It has been more than half a month since Zhu Hao left Anlu, and Zhu Niangquan spent her time missing her son.

Because she was worried about her son, Zhu Niang was absent-minded when she was settling the accounts, and even needed Aunt Li's reminder to realize that she had made a mistake in the account figures.

"Madame, if you are tired, go and rest first...... In the past two days, you have not been in good spirits, but because of the cool autumn, you haven't slept well at night? ”

Aunt Li looked at her sister with concern, although the two were once rivals, but now they are relatives who depend on each other.

Zhu Niang sighed: "When Xiao Hao was at home, he didn't feel anything, even if he didn't return in the palace for more than ten days, he didn't miss it too much, and felt that as long as he was around, nothing would happen."

But now he suddenly went to the capital...... Do you think he can get used to it on the road? Sleeping in the open ...... When I came back from Wuchang Mansion, I didn't even sit down, so I just left......"

Zhu Niang chattered, making Aunt Li feel that as soon as a woman got older, she began to talk a lot.

"Young Master Hao is fine, isn't there Mr. Tang by his side? Mr. Tang has a wide range of contacts and many friends in Beijing. Aunt Li was relieved.

Zhu Niang sighed again, suddenly thought of something, and was about to speak, but she was silent.

……

……

There are not many customers in the rice paper shop, and even the collapsed house business at the ferry port doesn't look very good, without Zhu Hao, the backbone, even the horse shopkeeper is a little overwhelmed.

In the afternoon, Zhu Niang was about to close the shop early, and there was a commotion at the door.

Aunt Li walked over to take a look, but saw a lot of people gathered to watch, and then a team of officials passed by, beating gongs and drums, so it was not lively.

"What's the matter?"

The people were asking what was going on.

But I heard the leading official shout: "Chengbei Old Man Sun High School Huguang Yimao Township Exam 36th, Master Sun High School!" ”

When the people heard this, their spirits were lifted.

One by one, they are asking, which is Master Sun?

Immediately, people from Sun's Mansion came to greet them, and they actually came out with an ox cart carrying a cannon or something, setting off firecrackers along the road, and draped red and green on the street trees, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.

Aunt Li turned her head to look at Zhu Niang, who was settling accounts at the counter: "Master Sun, could it be the Sun family who has business dealings with our family?" ”

Zhu Niang shook her head: "Other people's affairs, don't pay attention to ......"

said that he ignored it, but when he heard that others were promoted in the examination, he was still a little disappointed in his heart, and the firecrackers were ringing outside, and the gongs and drums were noisy.

"It's like I'm afraid people won't know."

Zhu Niang walked to the door and glanced outside, with a little sour in her words.

The people of Sun's Mansion scattered copper coins along the way, as if they wanted to have fun with the neighbors, and the happy event should be known to everyone, so that the crowd of onlookers, especially those lively children, chased the team to report the good news.

Zhu Niang looked at the crowd in the distance, sighed, and Aunt Li on the side comforted: "Young Master Hao is young, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”

As she spoke, the two sisters were about to pick up the partition and close the door.

Unexpectedly, Qian Chuanzi, who came out to see the excitement on the other side, had sharp eyes, and saw her at a glance: "Ouch, isn't this Zhu Niang?" Didn't your son also go to the township to take the test? How, did he win? ”

Zhu Niang didn't want to pay attention to Qian Chuanzi's poisonous tongue, and a neighbor on the side said: "How old is the little young master of the Zhu family?" It's not easy to be able to pass the exam...... Money strings, when will your children be so promising? ”

"Phew! If you can't pass the test, you can't say you can't pass the test, what kind of garlic is put here? ”

Qian Chuanzi didn't want to mention how relieved he was in his heart.

He was happy to see others unlucky.

I don't want to be at this moment, in the team that went to report the good news, someone turned his head and ran towards Zhu Niang's shop, but it was a servant of Sun Mansion, who said loudly when he got closer:

"This is the Third Lady, right? My old lady said that when the team is finished, I will come to thank you in person...... Thanks to the teaching of your son-in-law, my young master was able to pass the examination. ”

Zhu Niang was a little stunned when she heard this.

Is it really the young master of the Sun family?

That scholar who looks stupid and stupid and has a very bookish atmosphere?

Isn't that a disciple of his own son? Didn't he just get into the middle school entrance exam? Why do people raise people to be masters in the examination?

The onlookers couldn't help but make a loud noise when they heard this.

A neighbor's aunt couldn't help but be curious, and came out and asked, "Zhu Niang, is it the student accepted by your young master who has been promoted in the examination?" ”

The people from the Sun Mansion replied: "Yes, the young master of my family is Mr. Zhu's personal disciple...... Thanks to Mr. Zhu's cultivation, my young master will succeed in the hospital test and the township test...... Later, the old lady will come to thank me with heavy gifts, and when my young master comes back, she will come over to kowtow and thank you. ”

Zhu Niang suddenly became the target of public criticism, but she didn't have a little honor in her heart, but felt that God was very unfair, and hurriedly waved her hand: "No need, no need...... Dog he ...... For the time being, I am not in Anlu, I went out to study. ”

Qian Chuanzi jumped up again when he heard this: "Did you know that you didn't play well in the exam room, so you went out to avoid the limelight?" ”

"Money skewers, why are you everywhere? If you accept a student, you can become a master, and you will have the eighteenth generation of your ancestors, and you don't have this opportunity! ”

"Hahaha......"

Qian Chuanzi originally planned to have a good pastime and make fun of Zhu Niang, but suddenly found himself a target of public criticism.

He realized that the widow of the family has a son, and the son is still promising, and the public opinion is naturally one-sided, so he scolded and said: "What Lao Tzu said is the truth, you group of women with long hair and short knowledge, don't care about you in general!" ”

……

……

Zhu Niang was going to close the door, but the Sun family said that they wanted to come over to thank her, and they didn't know whether to close the door or just wait.

It's a bit rude to turn away guests, and besides, the old lady of the Sun family she has seen, and she speaks kindly, especially when talking about business recently, people really treat their son as a gentleman, maybe in the eyes of the Sun family, Zhu Hao has a great cultivation grace for Sun Ru to be admitted to the middle school, right?

But other sons' sons can be admitted to the exam, so this is the only way to learn, can their own sons teach?

"Ma'am, let's go in first and wait...... The Sun family came to thank you, doesn't our family also have face? Aunt Li hurriedly pulled Zhu Niang, meaning don't stay outside, go back to the house, out of sight.

At this moment, another group of men and horses came in the distance, not from the direction of the city gate, but from the Xingwang Mansion.

The person who took the lead, Zhu Niang, recognized at a glance that it was Zhang Zuo, the royal palace Chengfeng Si Chengfeng who had come to contact him many times before.

The people brought by Zhang Zuo held a long pole in their hands, and the pole was hung with firecrackers wrapped in red clothes, and they also brought a large number of guards from the palace honor and guard division, all the way to the door of Zhu Niang's house.

Zhang ...... Mr. Zhang, ...... are you? ”

Zhu Niangren was stunned again.

What kind of fame is this in the palace?

A foreman of the guard next to him approached Zhang Zuo and said something in his ear, Zhang Zuo said with a smile: "Our family is specially here on the order of the princess...... Hey? People haven't arrived yet, have they? Then wait for someone to come...... Putting the battle together ......"

After speaking, the guards of the palace honor and guard division lined up two columns at the door of Zhu Niang's shop, and twenty or thirty people lined up, majestic.

Some people have already hung up firecrackers, as if they are waiting for someone to come, and they can be set off as soon as they come.

Zhu Niang asked strangely, "Mr. Zhang, is this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

Zhang Zuo smiled: "Madam, don't worry, just wait, it's boring to say it now...... The palace is also well-informed and learned in advance...... Ouch, isn't that over there? ”

Zhang Zuo asked, pointing to the team coming from a distance.

Someone next to him reminded: "Grandpa Zhang, it doesn't seem to be the direction of the city gate over there, it seems that someone is welcoming relatives, right?" ”

Zhang Zuo reacted at this time, these people came in the same direction as himself, and immediately waved his hand, meaning that people should block these people first...... We are preparing to celebrate a good thing, where is there such an unknown person who happens to run over, could it be that there is still a happy event?

"Mr. Zhang, that's the mother of the dog disciple, the old lady of the Sun family...... She came to thank the dogs for their cultivation. ”

Zhu Niang stood on tiptoe and looked, and it was the old lady of the Sun family who personally led the team that came to thank her.

It's not a kiss at all, but it's more lively than a kiss, big boxes and small boxes of things are a load after a load, and those who don't know think they want to be hired, one by one they are dressed in red and green, and they are full of festivity.

Zhang Zuo suddenly said: "The Sun family is the home of the high-level apprentices accepted by Young Master Zhu?" Why, Young Master Zhu's disciple also passed the exam? ”

Zhu Niang wanted to explain, but she couldn't remember what the person who came to report the good news said before, and someone on the street answered: "It is the thirty-sixth ...... of the township test."

"Ouch, rejoice, rejoice...... Fast...... Go and get someone. ”

When Zhang Zuo heard that it was a good thing, he didn't send people to block the way, and directly greeted people.

When the old lady of the Sun family approached, Zhu Niang made an introduction, and when the old lady of the Sun family heard that it was the eunuch in charge of the palace who came in person, she hurriedly saluted: "Old body Sun, I have seen Mr. Zhang." ”

"The old lady is polite, I didn't have the opportunity to visit before, but since Ling Lang has also been moved, I will move around with the palace a lot in the future, after all, I am not an outsider...... Young Master Zhu's student, that is also someone close to the palace......"

When Zhang Zuo heard it, Zhu Hao's students were promoted in the exam, so they didn't pull them over for their own use in the future?

While talking, another team of people came, but this time it was someone from the state government who came.

It actually came from the direction of Xingwangfu.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, another group of gongs and drums also appeared, coming from the city gate, and the two teams of people walked towards each other, but the team did not immediately approach the Zhu family's shop, and paused slightly, as if waiting for the ceremony to be carried out first.

"Jiang Tongzhi? It's been a long time. ”

Zhang Zuo first went to meet the representative sent by the state government, not the new governor himself, but Jiang Jingtang, the state governor who arrived with the new governor.

After Jiang Jingtang took office, he went to Xingwangfu to attend the funeral on behalf of the state government, so he knew Zhang Zuo and hurriedly bowed down.

Zhu Niang's side can't touch the north, the Sun family came over to thank Zhu Hao for his cultivation, which is reasonable, but what the hell are the palace and the state government doing?

Aunt Li was a little enlightened, and carefully pulled Zhu Niang's clothes, and said, "Madam, do you think it will be...... Young Master Hao was also lifted? ”

"No...... No way? Having said that, Zhu Niang's eyes were firmly fixed on the group of people who came from the city gate in the distance, which was very similar to the team that went to give the Sun family good news and passed by the gate before, and now it was the palace and the people from the state government, as if there was only one explanation that made sense.

That is, Zhu Hao also won the move!

The palace learned the news in advance and sent Zhang Zuo to congratulate him, so there was a saying that it was boring to say it in advance.
