Chapter 271: Xu Jiaorong's Happiness
【Chinese Network】, to provide you with wonderful reading.
Some of the neighbors on the left and right took eggs, some took liquor, some brought two pieces of meat, and some caught two chickens, and after a while, the kitchen at Kung Fu was almost full. Originally, Xu Jiaorong also asked Li Gongfu to buy some wine and meat, but after waiting for a while, there was no need for it!
Tables, chairs, and benches were brought from the neighbors, and the women were busy in the kitchen, and several groups of officials and men who had given the good news began to drink and eat in the courtyard.
Xu Xian fell for the master, he was not at home, Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were equivalent to the masters of the Xu family, as long as they were acquaintances, they would take the initiative and enthusiastically send gifts.
Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong can't be unkind, gifts must be accepted, this is not corruption and bribery, at most it is just human nature to give gifts to each other.
Of course, if it is a big gift such as giving silver or giving a house, without Xu Xian's instructions, Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong will definitely not accept it.
"Jiaorong, you will enjoy Qingfu in the future. Hanwen was brought up by you, and if he becomes a big official in the future, maybe you will be regarded as the wife of the imperial court!"
The women in the kitchen were busy working, and they looked at Xu Jiaorong with envy and said.
Xu Jiaorong was full of smiles, and the joy in her eyes couldn't be hidden, but she said quite modestly: "Hanwen can have today, in fact, it has nothing to do with me, it's all my family's Chinese smart." Moreover, I don't dare to think that my brother is now married and has a daughter-in-law, and even if the court wants to crown Mrs. Decree in the future, it will be my brother-in-law. ”
"Mrs. Decree has a wife, and a mother and sister. Alas, envy, if I can one day be named the Lady of the Command, no matter how many products it is, even if I live ten years less, I am willing to do so!"
In the Dali Dynasty, a very small number of women could read and write, but it was impossible for them to be officials. Therefore, for a woman, the greatest honor in this life is to be able to be honored by the imperial court as Mrs. Haoming one day.
Xu Jiaorong shook her head and said that she didn't dare to think about this, but there was some expectation in her eyes.
Inside the yard.
"Drink, drink, drink more!"
Li Gongfu raised his glass and drank bitterly.
Xu Jiaorong smiled when she heard her brother being moved, and Li Gongfu was similar, greeting the official who reported the good news with a smile on his face, and drank the wine in a big gulp.
Xu Xian is his brother-in-law, and he can be regarded as the closest person to him now except for Xu Jiaorong. Xu Xian was lifted, he went out and was brought up, and he still had a lot of face!
If he is promoted, he will be a senior official in the future, and he will most likely become a big official, which is not comparable to his small head catcher in Qiantang County!
Officials, officials, officials and officials, although they are often mentioned at the same time, are completely different, and the difference in status is 108,000 miles. Although officials have a higher power status than ordinary people, they are also controlled by officials. In the eyes of officials, the difference between officials and civilians is not big, and officials must kneel when they see officials!
Catching fast and serving is actually in the category of officials.
Li Gongfu has achieved the position of the head catcher of the yamen, and he can barely have a little relationship with the official, but he himself has said many times that he is an official who is smaller than the Jiupin Sesame Official, and if the matter is unfavorable, the magistrate of Qiantang County can take his life!
And the general master is completely different, and he is fully qualified to intersect with the magistrate of Qiantang County on an equal footing.
What's more, Xu Xian is still so young and famous in the world!
......
The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.
At the end of the banquet, the official who reported the good news had already said goodbye and went back to hand over the errand, and the neighbors also went back. At this time, the door of the courtyard was knocked again, the knock was very urgent, Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were still wondering, the people who wanted to report the good news and congratulations were gone, who would come at this time?
I heard a happy voice shouting from outside: "Sister, I'm back!
"Hanwen is back!"
Xu Jiaorong was stunned when she heard this, and then she didn't care about her big belly, she walked as fast as she flew, ran to the door in front of Li Gongfu and opened the door first. She was happy and excited, she had a lot to say, and wanted to praise Xu Xian, but the first sentence in her mouth was due to the character of the eldest sister like a mother for a long time, and she reproached: "Why did you come back so late! After the township examination, you still stayed in Suzhou Mansion to enjoy the mountains and rivers, right? The people who reported the good news came to the door, but you, the old man, were not there, so I had to let me and your brother-in-law entertain others!"
"Has the person who announced the good news already here?" Xu Xian said in surprise. Although he stayed in Suzhou Mansion for a while after the exam, when he came back, he returned by the clouds, and he traveled from Suzhou Mansion to Qiantang County in half a day, saving most of the time.
It seems that the people who reported the good news were not slow, and almost rushed to the homes of the candidates who were selected in all directions after the results were released.
"I just came here this morning, and I've left after dinner and wine. Xu Jiaorong glanced at Xu Xian with disgust, and then greeted Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing with a smile: "Brother and sister and Xiaoqing girl are tired of coming back all the way, right? ”
While walking inside, Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian with a smile and said: "The results of the exam in Suzhou Mansion this time are not bad, not only did I win the exam, but I also ranked first Xie Yuan! Well, tomorrow we will go to burn paper for our parents and tell them the good news!"
Xu Xian shook his head, looked at Bai Suzhen, who was a little shy, and then said, "Sister, in fact, I came back this time, and there is more than one good news." ”
"Is there any other good news?" Xu Jiaorong was interested, looked at Xu Xian curiously and asked.
Xu Xian nodded, and said with a smile: "This news is better than my middle lift!" After a pause, Xu Xian was not selling Guanzi, holding Bai Suzhen's hand, one hand lightly ** on Bai Suzhen's stomach, and said with a smile: "Suzhen is pregnant!"
For Xu Xian, the middle move is a matter of nine out of ten, and there is no suspense. But Bai Suzhen is pregnant, this is a matter of God's will, no one can say.
"Huh?" Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian, then at Bai Suzhen, and at Bai Suzhen's stomach, and was speechless after saying a word, she was really a little confused.
After waiting for a long time, he cried with joy, his eyes were a little moist, and he trembled with joy: "My brother and sister are pregnant?
Xu Xian smiled and nodded, "It's true!"
"This ...... This is really great news!" Xu Jiaorong wiped her moist eyes, and when she heard that Bai Suzhen was pregnant, she was almost happier than she was pregnant, and her mouth kept chattering: "The Xu family has a future!" Then she took Bai Suzhen's hand and said, "Brother and sister, thank you for your hard work!"
So, Bai Suzhen, who had worked hard, was pulled away by Xu Jiaorong, and all kinds of advice, as a person who came over, arranged plans for Bai Suzhen in the next few months, and told her what she needed to pay attention to.
And his younger brother Xu Xian, who had just returned from winning the honor, was completely thrown aside. For mobile phone users, please browse M. Reading for a better reading experience.
