Chapter 1174 The scholar who fell off the back of the car
Mr. Xu thought for a while and prepared to comfort Zhu San with a few words to prepare him mentally for "failure".
He didn't expect him to speak, but Zhu San was more open-minded than he thought. He said that he had not studied for many years, and he was lucky enough to be born a child. Whether he could become a scholar or not depended on God's arrangement.
If God gives it to him, he will accept it and continue to work hard; if God doesn't give it to him, it doesn't matter, he can live his life how he should, and the worst he can do is come back next year.
Mr. Xu breathed a sigh of relief and was about to say something. However, what he didn't expect was that he breathed a sigh of relief too early and almost choked in his neck.
Because as soon as the rankings were released over there, government officials came over beating gongs and drums to announce the good news: "Good news, good news, the young master Yao Shunyou of Zhu Mansion in Wuyi Lane... is already a scholar~"
What?!
Zhu Shunzhong?!
Mr. Xu's eyes widened.
No, some people actually believe that what Zhu San wrote is "true"?!
No, what he meant was that if he hadn't known Zhu San in advance and knew what the Zhu family was doing, he would definitely not believe that those things were true.
So, how “discerning a hero is” this scholarly scholar is, that he actually recognizes Zhu San?
Li Xuanying, local academic administrator: “…”
It's just Sun Shan's name, I can't afford it.
Although he was the last one, he still had the reputation of being a scholar. Xu Yujin was stunned at first, and then quickly asked the government servants who announced the good news to come in and give him money.
"Third brother, you will also be a scholar in the future, hahahaha..." Zhu Qi was extremely happy, even happier than he himself had passed the scholar examination, and sincerely congratulated Zhu San.
Zhu San showed a smile on his face and said, "Thank you, third brother."
Yan Hean, Yu Jingqi, Jiang Jing and others also expressed their congratulations.
Mr. Xu was so happy that he waved his hand and decided to invite everyone to a restaurant to have a meal to express his gratitude.
Zhu San laughed as soon as he heard this: "Sir, how can I let you spend money? Why should the students ask for it? The students should also thank you. If it weren't for your advice, even if it is Sun Shan's name, the students would not be able to do it.
.”
"What's your name, sir? Aren't you my grandson-in-law? As a grandfather, what's the point of treating my grandson-in-law to dinner? I'm happy today..." Mr. Xu was indeed happy.
Everyone knows that he is the brains of the Xu family in Luanzhou, and thinks that he has a "smart eye to recognize heroes" and is highly respected. Why would such a person suddenly marry his most beloved granddaughter to a mud-legged person?
It must be because this poor guy has a promising future.
Otherwise, how could he be so stupid?
Despite the objections of his son and daughter-in-law, and various speculations from others, only the housekeeper and his granddaughter Xu Yujin believed him, believing that he just hoped that Xu Yujin could marry someone who truly loved her and protect her.
What merit, fame, fortune, and salary are, on the contrary, things external to oneself.
What's more, with the development trend of the Zhu family, Mr. Xu doesn't think that if Zhu San fails to pass the exam, Xu Yujin will not be able to live a good life.
The older a person gets, the more things he has experienced, and the clearer he becomes about what is most important.
The Xu family in Luanzhou has long gone downhill. Although he taught so many students under the name of Zhinao, it is not that he did not excel. It was just that the most outstanding one died early, and he died young just after he had made a name for himself.
.
He made a name for himself with those few students, but the students behind him failed to keep up, and then...
Then there is no more.
The son is short-sighted and not very smart; the grandchildren have not been trained well and have no ability, but they only know how to aim high. How many of the granddaughters used for marriage have a good life?
Mr. Xu could already foresee that once he died, the Xu family of Luanzhou would inevitably fall from the altar. If the Xu family of Luanzhou could not show any outstanding skills, then...
Under such circumstances, it would be strange for Mr. Xu to want to marry Xu Yujin into a wealthy family. It would be better to live in a stable family.
Choosing Zhu San depends not only on Zhu San's ability, but also on his care and responsibility for his family. He understands that his granddaughter, Xu Yujin, is not a coquettish person. As long as she stays clear-headed and doesn't make any mistakes, Zhu San
San will treat her as his legitimate wife and protect her throughout her life.
As for fame...
It would be better to have it, but there is really nothing we can do if we don’t have it, except that his face will not look good. But Mr. Xu quickly figured it out, anyway, he won’t live for a few years, and he probably won’t be old if he doesn’t look good, so he doesn’t bother to care.
There are so many children and grandchildren, and children and grandchildren will have their own blessings.
When he thought about it, he didn't expect that Zhu San was quite up to date and just came back as a "scholar".
Although he is not an official, he is still able to use his skills and has less room for people to talk.
Seeing that Mr. Xu was really happy, Zhu San did not persuade him anymore and allowed Mr. Xu to "treat" him.
This night, I will never return unless I get drunk.
Oh, the men don't come home until they are drunk, which saves trouble. They only have to pity a few women and have to help clean up their tails. Although Xu Yujin is a young daughter-in-law, one is her grandfather, the "brother" recognized by her husband, and the other is her grandfather.
The two were still friends of her husband. No matter which one they were, she had to arrange for someone to take them back.
Fortunately, Zhu Qi was young, so people didn't let him drink much. He could also act as a facade and accompany the carriage to various households. Otherwise, Xu Yujin would be really in a hurry by herself.
There is no way, who can make the man who can act as the front of the family become "drunk"?
Ye Yuran is the mother-in-law, so she can help, but she has Xu Yujin as her daughter-in-law, and it is her daughter-in-law's territory. She doesn't need a daughter-in-law and she has to do the work herself. Isn't that a "good thing"?
Ye Yuran didn't want to be the troublesome mother-in-law, so she directly became the hands-off shopkeeper, responsible for taking care of Lin Sanmei and Lin Simei. She ignored the others and handed them all over to Xu Yujin.
Ye Yuran's "letting go" was a relief for Xu Yujin. After all, as soon as Ye Yuran intervened, she had to ask Ye Yuran's opinion on everything. As soon as Ye Yuran waved his hand, she had no room to operate.
Once you get older, just follow the previous "rules" and you won't have to worry so much.
Because of the college exams, Pushouzhou School was suspended for several days, so there was no need to worry about Yan, An, Yu Jingqi, and Jiang Jingtong drinking too much and not being able to get out of bed the next day.
Even if they sleep until midnight, no one will care about them.
Zhu San was admitted as a scholar and had to prepare for the provincial examination. Ye Yuran did not let him go back. He directly taught Xu Yujin to make arrangements and sent someone back to Zhujiacun to report the good news.
There are old rules to follow there, so Ye Yuran has nothing to worry about, just write a letter.
However, it was not time for Zhu San to relax, because there was news from the government that Master Xuezheng was going to entertain all the scholars, and even he, who was behind the wheel, had to go.
"Why would Master Xuezheng invite you to a banquet?" Xu Yujin, who grew up with Mr. Xu, knew very well the rules of the entrance banquet. She frowned slightly and said, "Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of banquet be held only for those who have passed the provincial examination or above?"
?The descendants are invited to the Luming Banquet, the Jinshi is the Qionglin Banquet, you group of scholars..."
