Liu Ruolan didn't pay attention to her husband, her daughters are sixteen, and it is normal to get married, but if she really wants to be dragged into an old girl, then it will be troublesome.

Cheng Jingzhou originally wanted to take the opportunity to worship his ancestors and return to his hometown to get married, but the actual situation did not allow it.

He had to go back to worship his ancestors, but Uncle Xie, as an official of the imperial court, obviously didn't leave if he wanted to.

As for his parents, it is obviously not appropriate to write to them in a hurry now, so they can only delay it.

Cheng Jingzhou was still a little disappointed.

He really wanted to take the good baby away now.

But the reality does not allow it, so you can only wait.

Cheng Jingzhou took Ping'an and Master Wu all the way back to Gaoyang County, once again making Gaoyang County the focus of the whole city.

Because Cheng Jingzhou won the champion, he also brought a guard of honor when he returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, which was given by the saint himself, and he would take it all back after returning to Beijing.

After Cheng Jingzhou arrived in Fucheng, he first went to Mingshan Academy to meet Xu Shanchang and several gentlemen, and then sent Xie Xiuwen's letter to them, and then returned to Gaoyang County.

Mrs. Cheng couldn't sit still, and finally heard a report from the little maid, saying that the honor guard of the champion had entered the city.

Cheng Xuezheng was also pleased, he was naturally happy that his son was promising, and this ancestor worship could be regarded as reassuring the ancestors of the Cheng family.

Cheng Jingzhou's newspaper for the top prize in the examination had arrived in Gaoyang County a few days ago.

The county magistrate not only personally came to the door to send the congratulations, but also sent a reward of three hundred taels of silver in the name of the county government, plus the congratulations of other county officials and squires, the Cheng family can be said to have gained a lot.

Grandpa Xie also sent someone to come on a special trip, and the He Yi sent was decent, which made Cheng Xuezheng feel a lot more at ease.

The Chen family also came to send a congratulatory ceremony, but Xie Ronglan was the most unhappy.

She knew that this Cheng Jingzhou had real skills.

If the person she married back then was Cheng Jingzhou, then she would be Mrs. Zhuangyuan now.

Xie Ronglan didn't think that Cheng Jingzhou and Xie Rongzhao had to be together if they were married, but felt that the Xie family was sorry for her and failed to let her marry a good family.

Xie Ronglan had a grudge in her heart, but Cheng Jingzhou didn't know.

To thank the family, all you know is that you know, and you can't do anything. I don't know, so naturally I won't rush to inquire about this kind of thing, after all, some people don't like Xie Ronglan for a day or two.

When Cheng Jingzhou came back, the family naturally had to hold a banquet and entertain guests, and after a busy time, Cheng Jingzhou finally had the opportunity to go to Xiejiazhuang.

Regarding the family letter, Cheng Jingzhou had already sent it back in person on the day he returned to Gaoyang County, but there was a guest in the Cheng family at that time, so he didn't delay much, and now he went to Xiejiazhuang to ask for peace, which can be regarded as a full courtesy.

Cheng Jingzhou met Xie Zhou and Liu Dalang, the three of them studied together when they were in the capital before, and now that they see each other, they can naturally recall many old things.

"Uncle asked me to check your homework when I see you, and said that there are two articles a month, which is indispensable. Go back to the countryside to try it, and let you all try it out. ”

Xie Zhou and Liu Dalang have both married and had children, and now because the family situation is quite good, they have no distractions in studying.

"Uncle has confidence in us, but I think my article is still a little worse."

Liu Dalang on the side also nodded: "I feel the same way, I always feel that I haven't eaten a lot of things yet." ”

Cheng Jingzhou smiled: "What are you anxious about? You have to wait for another two years for the township exam, and there is time for you to study hard. ”

Several people looked at each other and smiled, and couldn't help but mention the current situation of Xie Ronghui and the others.

Knowing that Xie Ronghui was arranged to go on a study tour, Xie Zhou was still a little envious.

Those who can go out to study must have plenty of money in their hands, and he doesn't want to do this, he just hopes to be able to eat everything in those books, and he is satisfied.

"By the way, this is what Uncle asked me to bring to you, the two of you will discuss it and change it. If it is useful, keep it for other relatives or classmates in the future. Actually, if you can, you'd better copy it by hand. ”

Xie Zhou got these annotated books, plus the reading experience specially written by Xie Xiuwen, and he was even more grateful.

"Uncle also did his best for our Xie family. Even if he is now a member of the third grade, he still does not forget our juniors, if he changes places, I don't think I will think so thoroughly, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to be thoughtful. ”

Liu Dalang is also grateful in his heart, Xie Xiuwen is his uncle, while taking care of the Xie clan, he has not forgotten their Liu family, which shows that this uncle is a person who values love and righteousness.

The three of them chatted from the township test to the meeting, and then talked about Xie Ronghui's study tour and Xie Ronglang's talent, etc., and finally went around Xie Rongzhao.

"How's it going? Can you grow taller? Are you fatter or thinner than when you were a kid? ”

Cheng Jingzhou said with a smile: "It's true that I've grown taller and lost a lot of weight." If you miss her, then you have to work harder, and when you go to the capital in the future, you can see with your own eyes whether she is more durable than when she was young. ”

Liu Dalang shook his head while laughing: "Brother Cheng, in fact, what we are most concerned about is your marriage, what did my uncle say?" ”

Cheng Jingzhou's face was slightly stiff: "Uncle doesn't want to let Guy Bao marry so early, but I listen to Auntie, and I can get married this year." I'm coming back this time to solve this problem. ”

"If the two of you get married, it should be more convenient to be in the capital, this is thousands of miles away, and Uncle is a busy man, so it is impossible to spare so much time to prepare for marriage. If you get married in the capital, everything is handled by your aunt, and it will be cheap. It's just that in this way, Uncle Cheng will have to work hard. ”

Cheng Jingzhou sighed and said: "There is no way, if you want to marry a daughter-in-law, we can only go to the capital." Fortunately, my parents felt that it was okay, and I had already asked someone to find a house in the capital before. ”

"The Inner City?"

Cheng Jingzhou nodded.

Liu Dalang said with a sympathetic face: "The house in the inner city is not cheap. ”

Cheng Jingzhou said with a smile: "That's no way, Uncle A's family lives in the inner city, if I buy a house in the outer city, I'm afraid Uncle will be even more reluctant to marry me a good baby." What matters now is not the price of the house, but whether you can find a suitable house is the most headache. ”

Hearing him say this, Xie Zhou and Liu Dalang really felt that the house in the inner city was not easy to buy.

If you buy a small one, you always feel that you are not worthy of the identity of this champion.

But if you buy it big, it may be a few thousand taels of silver as soon as you make a move, which is a little scary to think about.

Xie Laosan lifted the curtain and came in, and said in a loud voice: "I know that you are hiding here to talk, it's time to start a banquet, let's go." ”

Grandpa Xie sat on the main seat, so happy that the corners of his mouth were grinning to the root of his ears.

The eldest grandson was promoted, and his granddaughter was about to marry Yuan Lang, he really felt that the second room family was the waist pole of their Xie family.

Xie Xiuran cautiously rubbed over: "Virtuous nephew, have you seen Brother Hui in the capital?" Is his baby fat? ”
