Chapter 226: Zhongju, Banquet
The release date is at the end of August and the beginning of September, and the latest is not more than the fifth day of September.
After discussion, everyone decided to simply stay and wait for news, and it would be troublesome to hire an errand runner to run back and forth.
Subsequently, Cheng Zhongqian went to attend the banquet held by the scholars, and it was at this time that they found that there was no one missing, and when they asked again, it turned out that they were arrested after being drugged.
asked again, and it turned out to be Cheng Zhongqian's sons and daughters who arrested people.
Cheng Zhongqian: Why was he the last one to know about ......?
Because it's just an unimportant episode, it's like swallowing a fly, and it's better not to know.
After going back, Cheng Zhongqian didn't ask in detail, because he didn't care.
On the day of the release of the list, the family went to the Chief Minister, because the list was posted in front of the Chief Executive's Office.
The crowd in Wuyang and Wuyang couldn't drain the water around Bangwenwei, and Cheng Zhongqian couldn't squeeze through them.
There was that clever one, who came early in the morning, crowded to the front, and reported the good news in a loud voice.
"Huang Jing of Xinyang County, the twenty-eighth on the main list!"
"Meng Yuanxing of Lushui County, fifth on the sub-list!"
β......β
Those who are admitted according to the prescribed number are called the main list, and those who are admitted outside the quota are called the secondary list.
Those who win the deputy list are called deputy tribute students, but they cannot be regarded as lifting people.
Cheng Zhongqian licked his dry lips, and he felt a little homesick.
Lingbao was stepping and jumping next to her, but unfortunately the people around her were taller than her, except for other people's butts, she couldn't see anything, and she couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Cheng Zhongqian of Feng'an County, the fifteenth on the list!"
For a while, everyone didn't react.
You look at me, I look at you, there is some disbelief in my eyes, did you hear my father's name just now?
"Which one is Cheng Zhongqian? Why didn't anyone say anything? β
"Alas, I'm really envious, I didn't hit this time, so I can only play again next time!"
"Could it be that this one hasn't come yet?"
A surprised immature child's voice suddenly sounded, and shouted happily: "It's coming, my father is here!" β
Lingbao suddenly threw himself into Cheng Zhongqian's arms, shaking Cheng Zhongqian, who seemed to be stupid: "Daddy, you have passed the test!" β
Cheng Zhongqian was stunned and bowed his head: "I passed the exam?" β
"It's true, it's fifteen on the list!" Lingbao's eyes were bright, "Daddy, that's great!" β
Cheng Zhongqian wanted to take a look with his own eyes, and the others kindly gave way.
In the middle of the list, the words "Cheng Zhongqian" are written, which is genuine!
A line of tears suddenly fell.
"Hahahaha, I passed, I passed!"
Cheng Zhongqian cried and laughed, and his demeanor was completely lost.
But everyone tolerated and didn't say anything, because he was not the only one who cried and laughed, basically crying every time he reported one.
At this time, a sixty-year-old man suddenly found that his name was also on the list, and after crying and laughing, he fainted directly with convulsions of his limbs, and was immediately lifted up and sent to a nearby medical center.
Crying and laughing is really nothing compared to that.
Cheng Zhongqian: "......"
The young man who had just reported his ranking came over with a smile and said obediently one by one.
Cheng Yun was just about to ask for a reward from his arms, but he saw that Xie Wuxuan directly asked Huaifu to give the man a gold leaf, and he was noble and arrogant: "I rewarded you." β
It's pie in the sky! It's still minced meat!
The boy made a gesture again and again, his face was flushed with joy, and he sent it, this time!
When the people left, Cheng Yun patted him on the head with tears and laughter: "How can I let you reward money?" And how can anyone reward so much as you do? β
Xie Wuxian smiled: "Uncle Cheng is lifted, I'm happy." β
Forget it, the big moment, don't dwell on these.
When I returned to the inn, as soon as I entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted me with a smile: "Congratulations to Cheng Juren, congratulations to Cheng Juren!" Cheng Juren gave face, and the expenses of these days were all invited by my Lao Li! β
Cheng Zhongqian: "How can this be done?" β
The shopkeeper: "Make, make, Cheng Juren will give me this opportunity!" β
In the end, I stayed at the inn for a month, but I didn't spend a penny. Otherwise, they are desperately seeking fame.
On the way back, Lingbao has always been happy and happy, and the smile has never come down from her face.
Cheng Yi asked curiously, "Are you so happy?" Our dad didn't laugh as much as you did. β
Of course I was happy!
What should I do after the township exam? Try!
Where are the exams held? Capital!
She can go to the capital, she can go to see her mother!
I can finally meet my mother!
Thinking of this, Lingbao couldn't hold back laughing again, mother, mother, Lingbao is coming to you!
Saying this, even Cheng Yun, who has always been steady, couldn't hold back, revealing a look of longing.
"I don't know if my mother's body is better, if she ......"
"Will she still recognize us? I feel like I've changed a lot. Cheng Yi touched his face, "But it's still the same mighty!" β
Cheng Yun: "......"
The news of Cheng Zhongqian's promotion was earlier than they went back, and the whole village of Beihe Village learned that Cheng Zhongqian was lifted, and they were happier than the New Year again, so they had to take out the red lanterns and hang them.
"Cheng Juren is backβ"
"Sorakuβ"
The suona gongs and drums sounded in unison, and Cheng Zhongqian's brain was shocked, but he knew that the villagers were all better and purely happy for him, so he did not show the slightest discomfort and displeasure, and listened to the whole process seriously.
As soon as he said "thank you" at the beginning, the villagers hurriedly said that they didn't need to thank them.
Cheng Zhongqian smiled and said, "Tomorrow our family will hold a flowing water banquet, and everyone will come to eat!" β
The whole village cheered.
After the welcome ceremony, the villagers thoughtfully let their family go to rest, no one lived in the house for more than two months, but the Xie family has been coming to clean, there is no dust and cobwebs, and you can sleep when you lie down.
Cheng Yi was about to cook, and the village chief came again, followed by several people, each with a few bowls in their hands.
"Thinking that you must be tired after such a long journey, don't fire."
They put the bowl down, and it was full of freshly made and steaming food.
"Thank you, Uncle Village!" Lingbao said obediently that the villagers of Beihe Village are so enthusiastic and kind!
The village chief smiled and left, planning to go back and worship the ancestor again.
They actually had a person in Beihe Village!
Early the next morning, the Xie family's cook began to work.
When I came back yesterday and passed through the county, I bought a lot of ingredients, chicken, duck and fish, just for today's banquet.
There are not enough tables, chairs, bowls and chopsticks at home, but it doesn't matter, the tables, bowls and chopsticks of every household have been contributed, with the Cheng's gate as the center point, extending to both sides.
The women came to help as if they couldn't sit still, and a large number of people were talking and laughing while choosing vegetables and stir-frying, and they were in full swing.
But soon, they were pushed to the table and sat down, they were all guests, how could they keep letting the family work?
There are chickens, ducks, and fish on every table, as well as many practices that have never been seen before, which are so fragrant that people swallow their saliva directly, and it is really several times more hearty than the New Year.
Until years later, they will never forget the feast they are today.
