The two squeezed out of the crowd and took the horse from Fuwang's hand.

Jiang Xun said to Jiang Da, "Go to Duke Cheng's mansion to tell the good news to the old Duke and my sister."

Jiang Da asked, "Second Master is not going?"

Whenever something good happens to the master, he will tell his second aunt immediately why he is only allowed to go today.

Jiang Xun said, "I want to tell my father and mother."

He mounted his horse and went straight to Wu Xiangbo's mansion. Fuwang mounted his horse and followed closely.

Looking at the two figures walking away, Jiang Da finally realized that the second master was going to tell the second master and the second wife about the memorial tablets. He also mounted his horse and left.

In the blink of an eye, the figure hurried away.

Sitting in the carriage, Zheng Tingting opened a corner of the curtain and looked outside. She was both happy and disappointed.

She made an excuse to leave the house today just because she wanted to know as soon as possible whether Jiang Xun was on the list.

When she heard about Jiang Xun's high school, she was overjoyed. She was still thinking about how to meet Jiang Xun by chance and congratulate him on his nomination to the gold list, but she didn't expect them to leave so quickly.

As soon as Jiang Xun entered the house, the concierge bowed and asked, "Second Master, where did you win?"

When the concierge saw Jiang Xun's expressionless face, neither the ecstasy of winning nor the frustration of not winning, he felt suspicious in his heart.

Fuxi, who came in the last step, smiled and said, "Second Master won the seventeenth place."

The concierge immediately bowed and said, "Congratulations to the second master, congratulations to the second master."

Jiang Xun shook a small silver pin from the concierge, handed the horse's reins to Fu Wang, and hurried to the Jiang family ancestral hall.

There is only one old servant in the ancestral hall who is the janitor and sweeper.

"Second Master, why are you here?"

Except for ancestor worship and punishment, almost no one comes here.

Jiang Xun said, "I won the lottery and want to talk to my father and mother."

He then handed the old servant a silver nugget.

The janitor of the ancestral hall basically has no chance of being rewarded. When the ancestors are worshiped, all the male masters come. Not to mention getting rewards, they will be punished if they don't do well. The master is punished to come here, and he feels bad, so how can he be rewarded?

The old servant happily took it, bowed and said, "Thank you, Second Master, and congratulations to Second Master."

With a "creaking" sound, the heavy wooden door was pushed open, and a gloomy moisture rushed in.

The old servant lit the oil lamp and placed it on the high platform before retreating.

Even with lights on, the room was dimly lit and had an aura of terror.

Jiang Xun walked to the tablet alone, bowed to his ancestor's tablet first, and then came to the tablet with "Jiang Chen" and "Jiang Hu's" written on it.

He stared at the two memorial tablets for a moment, knelt down and kowtowed, and burst into tears when he raised his head.

He didn't wipe it away and let the tears flow down wildly.

Many events from childhood to adulthood, the faces of father, mother, and sister, appeared one after another in front of my eyes.

My father’s advice when he was still alive, the glare and harsh treatment the siblings received after their father’s death, the cold words to their mother, my sister’s plan, my own efforts, the situation got better little by little...

He has never met his mother, but he heard from Nanny Qin.

His mother is beautiful, gentle and talented, very much like her sister. But her eyes are rounder, her eyebrows are lighter, her mouth is smaller, and she likes to wear red dresses... The image of her will always be engraved on him.

in mind.

He said softly, "Dad, Mom, I won the election. Our second wife is married. We will no longer be looked down upon or bullied by others... My sister protected me before, and I will protect my sister after that. I will continue to work hard,

Glorify your family name, be a man who stands upright, protect your family and country, and protect your loved ones like your father..."

When the female members of the Jiang family heard that Jiang Xun had won the 17th place, they all came to Ruyi Hall happily.

The old lady was a little angry because Jiang Xun, who passed the imperial examination, did not kowtow to her grandmother immediately and thank her for her upbringing, but instead ran to the ancestral hall.

The joy she felt at the beginning also faded, and she snorted coldly, "After a generation, no matter how hard you dig your heart out, people won't be able to see it."

Mrs. Jiang San smiled and said, "The second master had always been worried about Xun'er before he was alive. Xun'er has finally made a difference, so he rushed to tell the second master."

She only talked about Jiang Ke, but did not dare to talk about Hu family.

The eldest lady smiled again and said, "The third master, the fourth master, and Brother Xing are all waiting outside the hall for the poor man to announce the good news. He has also sent people to the Yamen to invite the uncle back. Manager Liu said that firecrackers and silver rewards are ready for the poor man.

alright."

The old lady nodded, "I need to prepare more candies and snacks to entertain the neighbors who come to congratulate me. I also prepare some broken silver to reward those who enjoy the autumn breeze..."

The eldest lady nodded yes.

They waited for less than half an hour when Jiang Xun didn't come, and the old lady's face became even more ugly.

At this time, the sound of gongs and drums suddenly came from outside.

Jiang Yihui said happily, "The person bringing the good news is here."

Jiang Yiyan drank in a low voice, "I'm not here to announce the good news to you. Why are you so stupid and happy!"

After being punished several times, Jiang Yiyan no longer dared to speak nonsense in public, and he still bullied Jiang Yihui in private.

Jiang Yihui lowered his head.

Everyone else in the room became excited and listened attentively to what was going on outside.

The messenger announced the good news with a loud voice, and congratulations came one after another.

The old lady was in a daze. It was eighteen years ago that such a happy event happened at home. Jiang Chen won the martial arts examination at the age of sixteen.

Thinking of her son who died young, the old lady's eyes turned red. If Jiang Chen had not died, this family would have reached a higher level...

Hearing the sound of gongs and drums, Jiang Chen wiped his tears with his sleeves and walked to the outer courtyard to entertain guests.

After seeing off the officials and greeting the people who came to congratulate him, Jiang Xun left and went to Ruyi Hall.

He came to the old lady, knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "My grandson has lived up to my grandmother's high expectations."

Mrs. Jiang was dissatisfied with her grandson's previous performance. But when his grandson came to kowtow to her, he still smiled happily.

She held Jiang Xun's hand and shed tears, choking and saying, "You have a great future, and I will be able to work for your father when I go there in the future. Of the three sons, my last one is your father, but he died early."

Now, let me, an old woman with white hair, give it to a man with black hair. Fortunately, he left a root. The old woman is worried every day, fearing that you will have a good night. I'm sorry for my second son..."

The old lady cried loudly, Jiang Xun knelt down and kowtowed to the old lady with red eyes, and the old lady hugged Jiang Xun and cried even harder.

Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang both took out their handkerchiefs and wiped their tears. Mrs. Jiang came over to persuade them in tears.

This scene touched almost everyone in the room. Only Jiang Yiyan thought it was a joke. She did not dare to be too presumptuous and covered her smiling mouth with a handkerchief.

On October 20th, the Jiang family entertained guests.

On the first day, I sent a note to Duke Chengguo’s office.

This is not only a happy event for the Jiang family, but also a great event for the second wife of the Jiang family.

Meng Cimo and his wife would definitely go, and the old man asked Liu's mother and daughter, and Meng Ciyue and his wife to go.

Mrs. Liu is the mistress of Duke Cheng's Mansion, so she was allowed to go there to give Jiang Mansion face. Meng Ciyue worked as an errand in the Royal Forest Army and had certain connections. Jiang Xun would benefit a lot from being a good friend of him.

As for Niu Xiu, whenever a mistress of the Meng family goes out to participate in activities, she will be taken with her to fully demonstrate the girl's various advantages.

The old man originally wanted the head of the family, Cheng Guogong, to go and congratulate him in person, but he was afraid that it would be unsightly for Cheng Guogong and the Liu family to have conflicts in other people's homes, so he gave up the idea.
