The Wu family has been prominent for hundreds of years, with countless branches. There are a lot of lawbreakers, not only Wu Xiude is finished, but even many children of the Wu family have also suffered.

I don't know how many victims applauded.

In Chengyang County, there was jubilation.

And Wu Xiude is crazy, I don't know if it's crazy or not. But it is said that he ate his prison uniform, hit his head against the wall, and giggled when he saw people.

Unkempt and stinky.

Although I don't know if he is crazy, according to the evidence collected, he is a death row inmate who was beheaded. Just waited for the documents to go to the court, and was beheaded.

All in all, it's a great deal.

The only person in the Chen family was happy was Chen Guhong, because from beginning to end, Chen Guhong did not tell his sister, brother-in-law, and Yuan Yuan the meaning behind this matter.

But even if they knew, they probably wouldn't care, because the day of the list has come. Although the yamen will issue notices, the talents who are on the list will be specially notified.

As soon as it was dawn that day, the family got up. Chen Xiuxiu took out the red paper that had been prepared a long time ago, wrapped five red envelopes of one or two silver, and many red envelopes with ten copper plates.

The big red envelope is for the good news officer, and the small red envelope is for the children of the neighbors on the left and right.

Chen Xiuxiu has done this kind of thing since her younger brother took his first exam at the age of twelve, and it was a failure every year, but he still enjoyed it, and he was full of longing every year.

And this year is particularly confident, our little brother is a celebrity, isn't it?

Chen Xiuxiu is happy, she has long forgotten the losses she and her husband suffered not long ago.

According to the rules of the county, the sky will be bright this morning, and in another hour it will be time to announce the list. After the family was ready, it was almost time to have breakfast.

Yuanyuan moved a small bench and sat at the door, holding his plump chin with both hands, and sat and watched happily. Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zheng were also very nervous, and the two walked around the courtyard and refused to stop.

Only Chen Guhong has always been calm, but looking at his family's concern and longing, it is extremely sweet.

The wait was extremely difficult, but it wasn't long before the gong finally sounded.

"Crackling!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, accompanied by the smell of gunpowder, and listening to the harsh sound, a team of five officials came to the door of Chen's house.

Yuanyuan stood up, Wang Zheng rushed out, and Chen Xiuxiu took Chen Guhong's hand and walked out. The family looked at the officials, Chen Xiuxiu's eyes were red, and she burst into tears.

"My little brother is finally out of the picture. ”

The leader is the old servant, who is in his fifties and very kind. He bowed his hand to Chen Guhong, handed over a document from the county government, and said with kindness: "Chen Xianggong, this is the document of the county government, please take it." ”

Chen Guhong smiled and reached out to take the paperwork. Before she could thank her, Chen Xiuxiu had already sent red envelopes and thanked her repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Almost incoherent.

Looking at the appearance of his sister, Chen Guhong felt for the first time that even if it wasn't for that fairy road, it would be good to be a showman. It's good for the family to be happy.

"Huh. The old servant and the other officials accepted the red envelope with a smile, and then confessed. So he ran to the next house. At this time, the firecrackers stopped, and the gongs and drums were gone.

The officials also walked away, but the front of the Chen family was very lively.

"Oh oh, Brother Chen (uncle) has become a father-in-law. ”

I saw that the doors of the neighbors were opened, and the adults came to say goodbye, and the children clapped their hands, and their little faces were red. They are small, but they know that there are red envelopes at this time, and they are hardworking.

Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zheng smiled and handed out red envelopes to express their gratitude to their neighbors. The children's voice is crisp, and the children are happy. The front of Chen's house was very lively, like the New Year.

Chen Guhong is a well-deserved protagonist, Chen Xianggong on the left and Chen Xianggong on the right. Chen Guhong is twenty years old, but he is not married yet. One is to live at my brother-in-law's house, and the other is to have no livelihood.

There has been no matchmaker coming to the door, and at this time, there are also three aunts and six women who have heard the news to inquire about the news.

All in all, it's hilarious.

At noon, Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zheng were bleeding profusely, set up a few tables of banquets, and invited the neighbors to eat together. Chen Guhong and Wang Zheng were in charge of accompanying the wine, and they were a little dizzy.

It was already late after eating, Chen Guhong drank a little too much, and wanted to go to the room for a nap. As a result, he was dragged out by his sister, and the family took a hoe, took a machete, and went to the east of the city.

Not far east of the city is a cemetery, leaning against the foot of the mountain. Chen Guhong's parents were buried here. Too late to deal with the weeds and shrubs at the head of the grave. When she came to her father's grave, Chen Xiuxiu asked Chen Guhong to kowtow respectfully, and then knelt down herself, clasped her hands together, and choked up: "Father and mother are above, and the little brother is out of breath." After a few days, I asked the matchmaker to find him a daughter-in-law, clean up the old house, and start a family. ”

"Father and mother, rest assured, our Chen family will definitely flourish, and the children and grandchildren will be all over the land. ”

As she spoke, Chen Xiuxiu kowtowed, and Chen Guhong also kowtowed. Wang Zheng also knelt down and kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After kowtowing, incense is offered, offerings are placed, and old wine is poured. In the process, Chen Xiuxiu was full of broken thoughts, her eyes were red, and she couldn't stop wiping her tears, but she was also full of happiness.

"It's time to rejoice. Seeing the happy appearance of the family, Chen Guhong wanted to take out the silver given by Brother Kun, and the field house came out.

When Chen Guhong got home, he took it out.

For this property, Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengzheng were very surprised.

"One hundred thousand taels of silver??? the field houses inside and outside the city?" Chen Xiuxiu's eyes widened and she was shocked.

"How can there be so much money?" Wang Zheng's jaw was about to drop.

But the first feeling of the two of them was not joy, but fear, deep fear. "Little brother, you won't get ill-gotten gains from anywhere????"

"Throw it away, throw it away. Our house is the door of goodness, and we don't want the riches. Chen Xiuxiu hurriedly said, very anxious, my little brother has just won Xiucai, so don't cause any trouble.

"It's okay sister. Chen Guhong smiled, and then explained softly: "Sister, have you forgotten the son of Wu Zhengchun of the four friends of the old Han? That Datong Wu family is strong, no worse than the Wu family that was raided here a few days ago, he and I are brothers, and this money was given to me by him." ”

"The friends who haven't met many times are brothers??? so much floating money?" Chen Xiuxiu said in disbelief.

"Scholars are righteous and have the righteousness of wealth. The Wu family has been extravagant for generations, and most of them are floating wealth, and his odd spending is usually calculated in 10,000 taels. 100,000 taels is nothing to him, and he even wants to send me some beautiful maids and slaves to call, but I finally refused. Chen Guhong said with a smile.

Scholars have the meaning of wealth, and Chen Xiuxiu knows this. But so much property is still skeptical, but she trusts her little brother very much.

In the end, I reluctantly accepted it, but it was still half happy and half sad.

"This house in the city is very useful, wait for me to arrange it in a few days. Then go to the market to buy some slaves and maids, you are now a father-in-law, and our Chen family is also a squire, and we can afford it. Such a battle can also ask for a better daughter-in-law. But 100,000 taels of silver is a hot potato. Maybe you're going to attract some green forest thief. ”

Chen Xiuxiu said worriedly.

Chen Guhong smiled and said, "Everything has me, and the 100,000 taels of silver sister can rest assured." ”
