"Hahahahahaha... Good news, good news, your seventh child is a scholar."

Old Man Zhu was confused: "What?!"

"Master Xiucai, the seventh child of your family has tried it in the county, and the government officials came to report the good news."

…

Only then did Old Zhu figure out why the other party suddenly came to call him.

thump--

thump--

thump--

His heart beat faster and faster, and he fell to the ground in excitement.

"father?!"

"father!"

Zhu Da, Zhu Er and others were frightened to death and hurried over to help others.

At this time, in the yard of the Zhu family.

"Is Aunt Zhu at home?"

"Aunt Zhu, good news, your seventh child has been admitted to the county police department!"

"A scholar is born in your family!"

…

Two or three young people rushed in, panting, and rushed to break the news.

Mrs. Liu was stunned: "What?! Mr. Scholar?!"

My heartbeat was racing, I couldn't believe it at all.

She was discussing with Mr. Li before that her brother-in-law spent too much money on studying every year, but in the blink of an eye, he came back as a scholar?!

——My dear!

——I have only been studying for a long time, and I have passed the exam and came back as a scholar.

——If it was really that easy, then she would have to grit her teeth and send her son to school in the future.

Touching her belly, Mrs. Liu seemed to have foreseen that day.

The baby in the belly: "..."

——I haven’t even given birth yet, so it’s too stressful to put such a big label on me. Otherwise, why don’t you just give birth?

"Yes, that's the scholar!"

"He passed the county chief's examination, so he became a scholar directly."

"I heard that the scholar also distributed food and allowances."

…

Those people talked excitedly, as if someone from their own family had passed the exam, chattering one sentence after another.

Mrs. Liu who was busy in the kitchen, Mrs. Lin, Zhu Bamei and others who were working in the backyard, as well as Mrs. Ye Yuran and Mrs. Li who were talking in the house, were all alarmed and ran out.

"Mom, did you hear that Lao Qi was admitted as a scholar! Oh my god, that's a scholar! We have a scholar in our family!" Mrs. Li grabbed Ye Yuran's hand, as happy as anything.

Because she knew that her mother-in-law insisted on sending Zhu Qi, who was known as a "fool", to school under heavy pressure. What was her purpose? Was it because she was afraid that no one would take care of Zhu Qi when she got old?

Now it's better, Zhu Qi has passed the exam and her mother-in-law's wish has come true.

This is only one of them, the second is that if there is a scholar in the family, who will dare to laugh at them in the future? The Zhu family has no money to burn and send their children to study, hum!

Don't think that she didn't hear those people telling lies all day long, but she just didn't want to make her mother-in-law unhappy, so she didn't mention it.

"Well, I heard it!" Ye Yuran's heart felt that, let alone, it was both surprise and joy.

She wanted to give Zhu Qimou a way out, and the best plan was just to be a child student. She didn't expect him to be so successful, and he directly passed the exam for you and came back as a scholar!

This child is really...

Wenrenshan led a group of government servants, beating gongs and drums, and finally arrived at the door of Zhu's house with joy.

There was a burst of congratulations upon entering the door, and a few official auspicious words were recited.

Li was clever and doubled the red envelope she had prepared in advance and gave it directly to these hard-working government officials.

Ye Yuran didn't need to say anything, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Lin all helped out, entertaining the Yamen servants with tea, water and snacks.

Even the neighbors on the left and right hurriedly took out things from each house to help entertain them.

There was a lot of excitement in the yard.

There was a smile on everyone's face, even Big Mouth, who had always disliked the Zhu family, felt that the Zhu family were so lovable for the first time.

"Hahaha... Did you hear that the seventh child from Aunt Zhu's family passed the county criminal examination?"

"I've told you a long time ago that her seventh child is good at studying and will definitely pass the exam. Did I tell you that he succeeded?"

"Look, that old woman is going to be proud again. All good things have happened to her family."

…

Although the tone inevitably overstates the original intention, the behavior of indulging in other people's happiness is quite appropriate.

Everyone rolled their eyes after listening to the big-mouthed "hindsight" and ignored her.

On the big day, they didn't bother to argue with her!

Although this is just a scholar, it is a great honor for the whole village.

From now on, when people from Zhujiacun go out, they don't need to make any other introductions. Just saying "There is a talented scholar in our village" will make everyone around them envious.

Look at these ten miles and eight villages, how many villages have produced scholars?

First portion, do you have it?

What's more, everyone's surname is Zhu. It is written in the same genealogy that they are "tribesmen", and it is easy to say it out - "Oh, you said Zhu Xiucai, we have the same genealogy!"

In this way, whether it is a girl in the village or a young man who wants to get married, his status will also rise accordingly.

These days, who do the local ruffians dare not offend the most?

That's Xiucai Gong. He doesn't even need to kneel down when he meets the county magistrate. If he explains it a little more, how can these ruffians survive?

All fools know that "the weak are afraid of the strong", let alone these lawless ruffians.

Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu from next door were also invited over, as the elders of the family, to share this joy.

When old man Zhu woke up and took Zhu Da, Zhu Er and other sons back home, the Zhu family gathered together, and the yamen servant took out the "good news" and read it slowly.

The Zhu family knelt on the ground, but this time they knelt willingly and with joy.

Originally, the Zhu family wanted to keep the yamen servant for meals, but they did not dare to stay longer because there was still another family to report to.

When leaving, Wen Renshan went aside to say a few words to Ye Yuran: "Aunt Zhu, I have something to trouble you about."

He shamelessly handed something to Ye Yuran and asked her to pass it on to Li Qin.

There was no way, one was in the town and the other was in the village. He just ran to someone's house all by himself. It was too eye-catching, so Ye Yuran could only be used as a "middleman".

Ye Yuran teased him a few words: "Not bad, I know how to please the girl."

"I'm not too young now. If I delay it any longer, I'll get really old." Although Wen Renshan was a little embarrassed, he still had the courage to speak out.

There is no way, you can't let the girl you finally fall in love with run away, right?

According to his status, it is a bit difficult to find a good one in the town. He is not familiar with it in the country either.

Now that I can find a good one through Aunt Zhu's relationship, why not settle on it quickly? What are you waiting for?

What's more, that girl is Aunt Zhu's goddaughter, so if Aunt Zhu has a son who is a scholar, the marriage will be successful.

Although Ye Yuran didn't ask what the gift was, he felt it out.

It's wrapped in a piece of cloth and has a long stick shape. What is it if it's not a hairpin?

I just don't know if the Wen family is willing to spend such a big deal and give some gold or silver.

Ye Yuran put it away and returned to the yard.

The yamen servants who finished announcing the good news left, but the excitement in the Zhu family had just begun.

Li Zheng was talking to Mr. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu. When the patriarch saw her coming back, he happily called her over and discussed opening the ancestral hall with her.

Normally, the ancestral hall will not be open except for Chinese New Year and festivals, unless there are no major events.
