"It's Chen Tanhua!"
"Tanhualang is back!"
There was a cheer, and seven or eight people swarmed up and saluted respectfully.
Chen Tang's face was as usual, and he had already been mentally prepared.
Before the list was released, there was a special person who sent the list to all major states and counties, posted it on it, and publicized it widely.
That is to say, in the whole world, anyone who has some ears and eyes basically knows that Chen Tang has been hit by Tanhua.
Once famous, the world knows.
Of course, the main thing that is disseminated is the basic information of the name, and as for Chen Tang's appearance, those who don't know him basically don't know. After all, this is only a text-based space-time, and the image information is extremely scarce and not true.
There is a Tanhualang in Panzhou Mansion, but it is a big event, and it is really a hundred years old. When the news came back, it was recited all over the city. And the houses on Hanmo Street, as well as the ancestral house in Chenjia Village, have become the focus. However, Chen Tang did not return, and everyone was not bothered, so they sent people to stay in the vicinity, and once they saw Chen Tang returning, they should immediately report to them, so they could visit as soon as possible to show their sincerity.
The news of the emperor's death has also spread, and the whole country has mourned, and even the Qionglin banquet and horse riding and flower arrangement have been canceled.
It's out of place, and of course it has to be canceled.
When the emperor died, you and a group of jinshi ate and drank, paraded the streets and enjoyed the cheers of the people......
This is a great sin of disrespect.
There is no need to stay in the capital, Chen Tang will come back earlier.
For these, all the gates in Panzhou are clear. Today, as expected, I waited for Chen Tang.
Networking and human relations are the most basic things for the scholars. Don't talk about how Chen Tang was before, but a fame in exploring flowers is enough to prove his potential prospects. For such an outstanding young talent, no one does not like it.
Last year, Chen Tang took the Panzhou Xie Yuan exam, and it was already lively. Now that the title of the gold list is inscribed, the high school has returned from exploring flowers, and the excitement is naturally even better.
Now they came together as family servants and the like, and after they saluted, they reported their names, and hurried back to pay their respects.
"Brother Bujin!"
A surprise call, followed by a young girl swooping in.
It's Su Ling.
In less than a year, this girl seems to have grown a lot taller. Also, when he has reached the stage of development, coupled with the improvement of living conditions and the improvement of his diet, this person will naturally grow up.
When the person entered his arms, he could not cry silently.
Chen Tang patted him on the back and said softly: "Silly girl, I'm back, why are you crying?"
"I'm happy ......"
Su Ling said, and suddenly found that his movements were a little inappropriate, too intimate. Hurriedly stood away, his face flushed.
Chen Tang glanced at her, she had indeed grown taller and grown up. The face shape belongs to the goose egg shape of the small jasper, and the skin is much more delicate than before. It's just that the body looks like it's still thin and thin.
"Brother No, you've lost weight. ”
Su Ling was looked at by him and lowered his head slightly embarrassed.
Hearing this old-fashioned dialogue, Chen Tang couldn't help but sigh. However, for a while, there was little food on the road, and he was indeed a little malnourished, so he said, "Ah Ling, do you have any money?"
"There are ......"
Su Ling hurriedly took out the money bag and stuffed it into Chen Tang's hand.
Heavy, Chen Tang opened it and saw a lot of money inside, and knew that Su Ling was at home alone, and he must have saved money, so there was so much left.
Hey, what a well-behaved little girl who is a good housekeeper.
Chen Tang took out a big coin and handed it to the coachman Lao Liu. Lao Liu took it, thanked him a thousand times, and then drove away and returned to Yuruo County.
Chen Tang returned safely, Su Ling was very happy, and when he walked, he jumped and jumped, like a happy rabbit.
After returning to the house, she immediately began to work hard, washing rice and cooking, and catching chickens in the backyard - this group of chickens, she took good care of them, kept them, and waited for Chen Tang to come back and kill them for him to eat.
And the puppy Wangcai has grown into a big dog, the dog's nose is very smart, smelling Chen Tang's breath, immediately shaking his head and tail, barking loudly.
Returning to the study and putting down the book, Chen Tang relaxed, and lay directly on the bed and took a nap. After waking up, Su Ling had already boiled hot water and put it in the bath bucket, so he took a bath happily, and when he finished washing and came out, a table full of dishes was full of fragrance.
Chen Tang's index finger moved, and he immediately started eating. And Su Ling kept helping him pick up vegetables, thinking distressedly: When he goes out, Brother Bujin must have suffered, and on the road, I am afraid that it will be difficult to even eat meat......
At this hour, no one came to visit. Presumably they also understand that Chen Tang has just returned home and needs a buffer time to rest, if everyone comes over immediately, even if they bring gifts, it is inappropriate, and it will not be possible to make favors possible, but not beautiful.
After eating and drinking, it didn't take long for the first group of people to come, but it was Zhao Sanye and Zhan Yangchun with smiling faces, the second group was Wang Fu and Tao Hao, etc., and then the third and fourth groups......
The house suddenly seemed small, and the beautifully packaged gifts could not fit in the hall, and the room was piled up.
It's really a soft hand to receive gifts.
These human matters, although trivial, have to be dealt with. Besides, Chen Tang is now poor. Tomorrow, it will be his turn to visit others. For example, Master Mengzao, Panzhou College, Admiralty Mansion, etc., all have to walk around.
All kinds of things are no longer as simple as human feelings, but a set of procedures that have gradually formed after thousands of years of development.
In a word: courtesy.
If you don't know how to be polite or impolite, you will not only provoke criticism, but you may even be convicted for it.
And within the right scope, there is nothing wrong with following the propriety.
When he was busy with the affairs in the city, Chen Tang returned to Chenjiazhuang to carry out the ancestor worship ceremony.
In the examination, it is natural to make a big fanfare. The whole village is full of smiles.
The title of Chen Tang Jinbang brings not only the blessing of fame, but also many practical benefits. When raising people, they can shelter the whole village, and Jinshi can directly shelter the entire countryside and form a common interest body.
Hundreds of fields and properties are all under the name of Chen Tang. He became the largest landowner in the area.
This is the huge benefit that fame can bring, and it is also the root of thousands of people's eagerness.
Several clan elders in the village felt that the ancestral house that was renovated last year was smaller, and they needed to build a bigger mansion to be worthy of Chen Tang's status as a jinshi.
However, this matter was vetoed by Chen Tang with one vote, saying that it was really a waste, there was no need to toss, it turned out that the ancestral house was very good.
Only then did the crowd give up.
With the increase in fame, the family business is gradually huge, relying on Chen Tang and Su Ling, they can't cope with it at all, and they need to recruit reliable and competent people.
Chen Tang's first thought was Wang Fu.
He was born in Xiucai, and he worked as an accountant in Sihailou, and he was very familiar with all kinds of affairs, which was very suitable.
Chen Tang opened his mouth, and Wang Fu immediately agreed. He worked as a bookkeeper in a restaurant, barely supporting his family with a monthly salary, but he had little future. Thinking about it, it is better to go to Chen Tang's command, and the treatment is not to be said. In the future, after Chen Tang came out, he had a bright future. Perhaps, it is much better to be a staff member, a master and the like, and to get ahead, than to be a poor sour show.
In addition to Wang Fu, others, such as servants and long-term followers, also have to choose a few. Because of the family, they need to start raising cattle and horses, develop animal husbandry, and do some business.
When the news came out, the threshold had to be broken, and the most recommended maids were recommended.
Chen Tang is young and has never been married, but he is a first-class fragrant bait. Although it is quite difficult to be his wife as a tanhualang, he has to be the right person, but there is also a chance to be a maid or something. In case Chen Tang gets high one day, or on a whim, he will come to a hair. If one is not good, he will be favored, and then he will fly on the branch and become a phoenix.
Regarding the selection of the maid, Chen Tang let Su Ling call the shots. The selection of servants is to let Wang Fu check it, the requirements are not high, he is diligent and loyal, and he can be honest.
After this busy period of time, the prototype of the family business can be regarded as slowly established.
However, before he could catch his breath, the relatives began to come to the door frequently. And the objects are all ladies with heads and faces in Panzhou, Miss Qianjin, etc. One of the households was actually from the Gu Xue government, and they wanted to marry Miss Gu Le, who had met at the poetry meeting, to Chen Tang.
There are too many women, and in the face of them, Chen Tang is under a lot of pressure.
