Chapter 160: Fame (Grand Chapter)
"Jingwu sixth year spring palace test, the first name is Zhang Jian of Fengyang Fengxi County?"
Xiang Yingxin's face was stunned.
He felt like he was really not going well.
As for the names of the other two Zhongjin Scholars in Fengyang County, Xiang Yingxin was no longer in the mood to look at them.
"Junjun, ...... are you?"
The commander of the pro-soldiers who came to deliver the good news could not understand Xiang Yingxin's complexity and helplessness at this time, but he was a little surprised, he heard from his staff that the current situation in the county town can be present, which is the merit of the county guard.
It is the prosperity of local culture and education that can give birth to the champion of the dynasty.
That's Wenqu Xingjun.
Although Daqian is known as the peak of culture and education, how many champions can there be!
This is also a credit to the county guard.
Xiang Yingxin could probably guess the thoughts of the pro-soldier commander, and he was too lazy to get angry.
Although he is the county guard of Fengyang County, he has no choice but to come here, and no matter how thick-skinned he is, he doesn't dare to say that there is a current situation in Fengyang County, which is his educational credit.
There is merit for the dead ghost to serve as the county guard!
"Go, you go and call Jun Cheng and let him go to Zhang's house to pass the decree!"
He directly sent away the pro-soldier commander in front of him like a fly.
Hearing this, the commander of the pro-soldiers in front of him nodded, and immediately re-rolled up the court documents that were urgently sent by the six hundred miles in his hand and brought them down.
"Junjun let Ben Cheng go?"
The county mansion, the new county lord Lu Zhao looked awkward at this time.
He was about fifty years old, with a dark face and a slight beard, and this time he was drinking tea in the back of the mansion while listening to a little song.
just looked at the court documents in front of him, but he had to pinch his nose and come down.
According to reason, there is a rare young champion in this county, and the county guard should come forward in person, and notify the officials in charge of the yamen of each department in the county to go into battle together, beating gongs and drums until the Zhang family.
Promoting the culture and education of a county is also a good thing to brush the sense of existence in the eyes of the Son of Heaven and Zhuangyuanlang.
But not long ago, Jun Shoucai had a quarrel with the patriarch of the Zhang family, and he couldn't erase his face, and Lu Zhao also understood.
But Lu Zhao knew that the county guard didn't want to go, but he couldn't hide.
The county guard wants to save face.
He could only put away his face and made up his mind, and at the same time ordered the officials in charge of the yamen in the county town to quickly gather in front of the county mansion, beat gongs and drums together, and go towards the Zhang family's mansion, reporting all the way along the way!
Such a big movement made the entire Fengyang County lively.
The Gu family, at this time, Gu Chengye, the head of the Gu family, was writing a letter in Fu, and the object of the letter was Ho Jingnei, those old friends of the Gu family's household department.
Since the last loss of the tribute boat, although the real culprit of the hijacking of the tribute ship was found, the loss of tribute was still recorded by the officials of the imperial court household department and yamen, which has shaken the foundation of the Gu family.
Gu Chengye, as the new head of the Gu family, had to find ways to mend these cracks and reconnect with the household.
In fact, the best direction is to be able to get in touch with the officials of the Shaofu Division directly under him.
Gu Chengye was also racking his brains, wanting to achieve this goal, but he didn't have Gu Chengyan's means in the end, and he felt powerless to do anything.
At this time, listening to the noisy gongs and drums outside the Gu family's wall, Gu Chengye was a little upset.
"Who's making noise outside?"
He lined up the table and scolded: "Who let them make trouble outside!" β
Hearing this, a servant immediately came in from outside the house, hesitated slightly, and said respectfully.
"Patriarch, it's the palace test that has been successfully reported!"
Gu Chengye straightened his clothes and snorted coldly: "The palace test is successful, even if someone enters the scholar and the first, there will not be such a big movement, such a big sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of horses' hooves, and everyone will be blinded?" β
When he walked out of the house, he raised his eyes, but it was on the boudoir in the distance, and Gu Xiu'er was looking at the long queue outside the courtyard accompanied by the maid at this time.
Seeing this at this time, he immediately went up to the attic, looked out from under the cornice, and saw that the street was full of people like long dragons, colorful flags fluttering everywhere, and many officials wearing festive red and yellow costumes were waving flags and heading towards the east of the city.
There are also two big characters on the flag.
Seeing this, Gu Chengye's face froze slightly, and he immediately guessed it.
He couldn't help but ask. "Embroidered girl, have you ever heard clearly, which one of these people won the champion?"
Gu Chengye's expression was also surprised, Fengyang County has not had a champion for a long time!
Gu Xiu'er's beautiful jade face had some complicated colors, and she had already heard the roll call in front of her.
is to say softly: "It's Zhang Jian, the eldest man of the Zhang family!" β
"Zhang's family?"
Hearing this, Gu Chengye's face changed, and he immediately glanced at Gu Xiu'er, and his expression was a little speechless.
Gu Xiu'er said softly at this time: "Sixteen-year-old Zhuangyuanlang, my father is indeed far-sighted, but it's a pity that I have been hesitating, but I have failed my father's painstaking plan!" β
Hearing this, Gu Chengye glanced at this niece and was silent.
Gu Chengyan also mentioned Gu Xiu'er's marriage to him before his death, and he once intended to marry Gu Xiu'er, but later he was preempted by the Qi family.
Now it seems that a good fate has been missed!
β¦β¦
Zhangjia in the east of the city
The Fengxi Zhang family gradually gained a foothold in Fengyang County, and Zhang Yi moved the other part of the concubines and children who remained in Fengxi to this mansion.
The splendid mansion covers an area of 100 acres, and the roof crest is connected, and Zhang Min is reading in the room.
In the past few months, he felt that his ears were much clearer, and Aunt Zhou did not send anyone to blow the wind by his side.
Zhang Min was happy.
Since he was a child, he has been instilled with the idea that everything is inferior and only reading is high, so he has also been extremely fond of reading books since he was a child, especially after Zhang Jian passed the test again and again, the county test, the government test, the hospital test, and the township test, and witnessed Zhang Jian's name as a young prodigy in Fengyang again and again, and was praised by other family elders, and he was even more convinced of this, and he admired Zhang Jian, the eldest brother.
At this time, he has already passed the county examination and successfully achieved the fame of childhood, and the next time is when he needs to work hard!
As long as you pass the government examination and the hospital examination, you will be able to further gain the fame of Xiucai.
Zhang Jian once said that if he could get the fame of Xiucai, he would personally instruct him on the skills of taking the test in other places, and he kept this in mind.
"The eldest brother mentioned that the next generation of the Zhang family needs more talents to support, and it is indeed too difficult to rely on the eldest brother alone!"
But in an instant, Zhang Min put down the classics in his hand, and he was alarmed by the noise outside the mansion, and the inside and outside of the Zhang family's mansion seemed to have turned into a noisy ocean for a while.
He couldn't do it even if he wanted to meditate and read!
Zhang Min reluctantly walked out of the courtyard and looked up, but found that the subordinates of the Zhang family were already busy, and all of them had strange joy on their faces.
Zhang Min couldn't help but look puzzled, and then he stopped an excited old servant in the garden.
There was a look of displeasure in his expression. "What's going on in the mansion, why is there such a noise?"
The old servant was stopped by Zhang Min, his expression was stunned, and he hurriedly said: "Xiao Langjun, I heard that Brother Jian in the mansion won the first prize, and the patriarch and his wife are distributing rewards in the main hall, I heard that everyone has a share!" β
Zhang Min's eyes lit up: "Big brother won the champion? It's true? β
The old servant said: "Xiao Langjun, the villain really listened, I heard that those big masters in the yamen are coming here!" β
Zhang Min's face was only slightly stunned, and then his eyes were overjoyed, and he couldn't help muttering:
"Won, my eldest brother has won the top prize! It's amazing! β
His handsome face turned red, and he didn't know where to put his hands.
The old servant couldn't care so much, and hurried to the main hall after confessing, for fear that he would be late and lose his reward.
And in the distance on the verandah, several aunts were talking and laughing, with smiles on their faces that could not be concealed.
The information mentioned in their mouths is also about the palace test, and their news is naturally much better than that of the servants in the courtyard.
Half an hour ago, I had already received the news, and at this time, I was also ready to go to congratulate Zhang Yi.
At this time, seeing the scene of Zhang Min dancing in the courtyard, these aunts suddenly felt a little weird, and Aunt Zhou tightened the handkerchief in her hand.
"...... this silly boy?"
Aunt Zhou's bewitching jade face lost her past hatred at this time, but she felt a little powerless.
It's obvious that she was born by herself, but she has a heart towards that other person, and she is powerful and has nowhere to go.
The other aunts also had different faces at this time, but in any case, Zhang Jian was able to become the top student in high school, and several aunts were also happy in their hearts.
They grew up watching Zhang Jian grow up.
Zhang Jian has been outstanding since he was a child, and he has always been favored by the head of the family, and he was established as the heir early, not to mention that Zhang Qi's maiden family is not comparable to them, so there are no messy ideas.
A few aunts also rarely didn't tease, just smiled.
"Brother Min is a kind-hearted and good boy, if the brothers of the Zhang family have such a concerted mind, the Zhang family will naturally be able to develop and grow!"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhou's face looked a lot better, and a smile appeared on her face at this time.
"Min'er has been close to his big brother since he was a child, and of course he is devoted to his brother!"
"Our Brother Min is naturally studious, and he is so close to his eldest brother, he will definitely be a little Wenqu star in the future!"
In the end, Aunt Zhou couldn't help but look proud.
The other aunts saw that her attitude changed so quickly, and they laughed, but they didn't have the heart to make fun of her at this time.
β¦β¦
Zhang Yi and his wife were very busy at this time, on the one hand, they wanted to entertain Jun Cheng and other guests, and on the other hand, they had to receive a steady stream of distinguished guests who came to congratulate them, so they could only call out many elders of the Zhang family to help support the faΓ§ade.
At this time, with Lu Zhao's fanfare, there were also discussions inside and outside Fengyang County.
Especially the Qi family.
At this time, as the subordinates brought back the news they heard, the old lady's face bloomed with joy.
"Ayu is really a Wenqu star, the three girls are blessed, and now they are bitter!"
At this time, in the bright hall, many female scrolls of the Qi family were chatting with the old lady, and they were also discussing the results of the palace examination!
Qi Wanshi stood aside and said with a smile.
"What the ancestor said is that Ayu can take the first place in the imperial examination of thousands of people, and maybe in the future, he can earn the title of Lady of Destiny for Ruoying's sister, and glorify the ancestors!"
Since Qi Wanshi learned the news, the smile on his face has never stopped.
Another well-dressed beautiful woman next to her smiled and said: "In my opinion, Yuhua's niece is the most blessed, and her future husband is the champion Lang, who is talented and good-looking, and can be described as a wishful husband!" β
Hearing this, Qi Yuhua, who was sitting next to Qi Wan's family, pursed his lips at this time, his fair face was a little ruddy, but his eyes were happy.
Seeing this, the Qi Qin clan in the third room said again: "Look, Yuhua's niece is shy!" β
Seeing this, the old lady blocked Qi Qin's ridicule back, and said with a smile: "Qi Qin's family, you have such a mouth!" β
At this time, most of the eyes of the Qi family still fell on the second room, and they were obviously envious of the luck of the second room.
Qi Yuxian was still dressed in plain clothes at this time, she stood beside the old lady and didn't say a word, but just glanced at Qi Yuhua, who was quiet and quiet, with her water-colored eyes slightly complicated.
At this moment, Qi Yuhua seems to have become the envy of many sisters in the Qi family!
But her eyes soon regained their composure.
β¦β¦
When Fengyang County was lively for a champion, Bai Liying also got the news in the Shuijing Dragon Palace, and returned to the Baishui Dragon Palace for this purpose.
"Daughter, I didn't expect you to marry a champion?!"
Bai Shui Longjun's white anger was also happy.
Bai Liying looked calm: "Zhang Lang is rich in five cars, his talent is superb, and he has the talent of the champion, but it's a pity that as my wife, I can't help him in many places!" β
Bai Nu was relieved when he heard this: "Good daughter, don't worry, didn't my son-in-law say that if the two love for a long time, how can they be in the morning and twilight!"
If you are practicing now, helping him to give birth to an heir will be the greatest help to him! β
Bai Liying's eyes were shining with a bright look, and she bowed her head slightly.
There was still a trace of complicated emotions in her eyes, she once thought that after repaying Zhang Jian's kindness for saving the White Water Dragon Palace several times for Zhang Jian's childbirth, she would decisively escape from the world and practice.
For this reason, she did not hesitate to use the secret method of the Dragon Palace and tossed Zhang Jian for half a month, in order to complete her long-cherished wish as soon as possible.
But now, she realizes that some things are not as simple as she imagined.
Especially after being emotional, it is not easy to control.
Just like she is now, after hearing the news of Zhang Jian, she can't wait to give birth to wings and fly into the other party's arms.
β¦β¦
And just when the inside and outside of Fengyang County were lively for the birth of the champion in the county.
Red Flower Niangniang Temple on the outskirts of the city.
No, at this time, this has been changed to the Stove King Niangniang Temple, and at this time, a special divine light descended from the sky into the Stove King Niangniang Temple.
At this time, the true body of the Red Flower Lady God sitting in the Divine Division involuntarily looked at the void, only to see a golden light falling, and there was another majesty in the depths of the golden light, and a mighty voice came.
"Fengyang County has a good daughter Du Honghua who is loyal and courageous, shelters the township, holds the incense of a county to condense the fire god's main position, and reaches the Sheji Shinto...... Today, I am specially given the position of the king of Ruzao, who is in charge of the stove fire of the people, peace, supporting the evil and eliminating disasters, and welcoming the position of Narui, I hope you will uphold the right path, practice well, and achieve positive results as soon as possible! β
This majestic divine voice fell, and the golden runes in the void instantly flew into the depths of the Red Flower Niangniang's eyebrows, and merged into the fire god mark in the center of her eyebrows.
The safflower lady was overjoyed at this time.
As far as she could see, she could see the phantoms of the stove fire emerging from the depths of the void, and the divine body seemed to be able to transform at any time and enter those divine domains.
You can also see a large area of uncultivated divine power.
This Vesta priesthood has great potential.
"Enlightenment is expected!"
At this time, the red flower lady felt that her divine power was growing, and she began to integrate into the divine body, the divine division.
The Stove God rune in the depths of the eyebrows is constantly evolving.
