Xie Xiuwen's news of Yuan naturally spread throughout the entire Fucheng quickly, and after Wang Jin learned the news, he immediately came over to say hello in person.

Wang Jin's results this time are also good, winning 16 places, if he fights hard next year, he may also have a chance.

This time, the city took 80 people, and Fan Xing won 69, although he was selected, but he himself was not happy.

With such a ranking, it is conceivable that next year's examination will be hopeless.

Xie Xiuwen and Wang Jin attended the Luming banquet together, because he already had a wife, so he also tried his best to keep a low profile and didn't want to attract attention.

However, what is afraid of what.

After three rounds of drinking, an adult tried again and again, obviously intending to recruit him as a son-in-law.

Xie Xiuwen only had a wife and children, so he really didn't dare to climb higher.

Such a statement naturally made several officials regretful.

It's rare to see such a young talent, but unfortunately, since they already have a family, of course they can't let their daughter be a concubine, and they can't do it to force Duke Yuan to divorce his wife.

However, there was a Metropolitan Protector Shi who pressed again and again, and after Xie Xiuwen politely refused twice, he was really a little impatient, and at this time, Zhao Yue appeared.

That Changshi is an official from the fifth grade, and he was also born in the imperial examination, and he originally wanted to recruit Xie Xiuwen as his son-in-law, but as for the country woman, she was divorced.

However, with Zhao Yue intervening, he didn't dare to mention it again.

However, he still looked at Xie Xiuwen twice.

After all, he really had no way to think that one was a cultivator from Gaoyang County, and the other was the son of a noble in the capital, how did these two get along?

Fan Xing also participated in this Luming banquet, the Fan family's status in Fucheng has declined sharply, and the Fan family was also implicated in the previous corruption case, but fortunately, Fan's father acted quickly and made a large amount of money, and finally kept his reputation, but his official position was demoted, which is easy to say, at least he was not demoted to the end.

Because of this, Fan Xing did not dare to be arrogant outside, and acted much more low-key than before.

This time, a total of 17 people from Mingshan Academy were on the list, and once again became the focus of the whole city.

"It is worthy of being a student taught by Mr. Xu, and he is really knowledgeable and extraordinary."

"Yes, the students taught by a character like Mr. Xu must have a big picture. I don't know how many people will be able to title the gold list next year. ”

After Xie Xiuwen attended the Luming Banquet, he was going back to his hometown to prepare for the next year's examination.

Zhao Yue also mentioned to him the plan to enter Beijing together, Xie Xiuwen was naturally very grateful, and thanked him repeatedly.

In the afternoon of Xiejiazhuang, it was originally silent, at this hour, most people were resting at home, preparing to work in the fields for a while, when suddenly a sound of gongs and drums naturally alarmed the villagers.

Grandma Xie has been counting the days at home, and her mood has obviously improved in the past two days.

Counting the days, the day before yesterday should have been released, if the second child was hit, then there must have been news back, but there has been no movement until now, and I think it should be missing.

Because of this, a big stone fell on Grandma Xie's heart, and she felt a lot more relaxed, and her appetite improved a lot for two days.

Grandpa Xie was the opposite, he was a little disappointed that he couldn't wait for the good news to come so late.

The three sons under his knees, the expectation of the glory lintel has always been on Xie Xiuwen, and now that he has not seen good news, he naturally has a little resentment in his heart.

After studying at Mingshan Academy for a year, isn't it even successful?

The old husband and wife have their own thoughts, and Grandma Xie knows that the old man has been looking forward to the second high school, and even if she is happy in her heart at this time, she doesn't dare to show it.

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums outside, Grandpa Xie's heart moved, could it be that there was good news?

After waiting for a while, making sure that the sound of gongs and drums was getting closer and closer to home, Grandpa Xie was overjoyed.

He had just arrived in the antechamber when Xie Laifu rushed in.

"Congratulations Uncle! My brother Xiuwen won the lift, and now he is a lifter! ”

In one sentence, the atmosphere of the entire Xie family was lit up.

It was the county officer's errand who came to report the good news.

Looking at this posture, if it was just an ordinary man, he would definitely not be so fanfare.

When someone was invited in, Grandpa Xie found out that it was Boss Liu and another old man wearing official uniforms.

"Congratulations to Uncle, congratulations to Uncle. In the text, I understand that Yuan Gong, our county commander has something to do and can't get away for a while, so he sent me and Lord Bo to go on a special trip, which is a hundred taels of silver specially sent by the county commander as a gift. ”

The county magistrate is happy!

In his tenure, there was a Xie Yuangong, which should be counted in the political achievements.

In the future, he was promoted or transferred back to the capital, which was a merit.

Originally, I was going to come in person, but my wife gave birth at home, and I was really not at ease, so I sent the county and the lord Bo to come.

"Thank you, and please ask the virtuous nephew to tell the county magistrate for me, and the grass people are very grateful."

"This is a reward of 200 taels of silver specially approved by the county magistrate to Xie Juren, after all, it can be regarded as fighting for our Gaoyang County students."

A total of three hundred taels of silver, Grandma Xie was watching from the sidelines.

Although she was reluctant to let Xie Xiuwen lift it, looking at the three hundred taels of silver, she didn't want it to fall into the hands of the second room.

It's just that now Liu Ruolan is here, and it is the brother-in-law of the Liu family who sent it, even if Grandpa Xie is poor, he will not be greedy for this money.

"The second family, you can take this money for Xiuwen first, and when you go to Beijing for the exam next year, you will have to spend money."

"Yes, father."

After Liu Ruolan saluted, she was ordered to take the silver.

Grandma Xie was so angry that her breathing was a lot shorter, and after sending everyone away, she naturally mentioned the matter of the money again.

Liu Ruolan now has a son by her side, and she is no longer as low as before, and she is not short of silver now, so she naturally doesn't want to quarrel with her in-laws because of this.

"Father, a total of three hundred taels of silver, of which this one hundred taels is the county commander's congratulations, it is better to temporarily confiscate this one hundred taels into the public middle school, after all, in the future, the husband will enter Beijing to take the exam, and there are some people in the family who have dealings, and they have to rely on the eldest brother and the third brother."

Liu Ruolan said this generously, and Grandpa Xie also felt that she didn't accept all the money, which was already very sensible.

"That's fine. Two hundred taels of silver, it should be enough for the second child to enter Beijing to catch the exam. ”

"It's okay, when you enter Beijing in the coming day, don't ask my old woman for money again."

Grandma Xie knew that at this point, the old man would inevitably let the second child enter Beijing, but she was not in a hurry, she did not object now, anyway, the second child would not enter Beijing until two or three months later, and she would be seriously ill again, and she was not afraid that they would not hand over the silver.

Liu Ruolan also glanced at her mother-in-law in surprise, why is she so good at talking today?
