Daming: I have a showdown, my father-in-law is the emperor

Chapter 154 Tiezhu and Cuihua

"Daddy, is this true?"

Hearing Zhao Laosan's call, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old dark boy rushed out.

This ordinary-looking young man with a shiny dark complexion is Zhao Laosan's eldest son, Tie Zhu.

Zhao Laosan was so excited that he could speak incoherently, and kept nodding.

"Really...Really...Master Guancha...All came to our Zhuangzi to announce the good news."

The villagers watching in the yard also chattered and congratulated Tie Zhu.

"Tie Zhu, congratulations! You have won glory for our Zhao Family Village."

"Tie Zhu, when you become prosperous in the future, don't forget our Cuihua! Auntie watched you two grow up together as childhood sweethearts, so don't let our Cuihua down."

Hahaha!
Everyone in the courtyard roared with laughter.

Hearing Aunt Zhou's ridicule, Tie Zhu's face blushed a little, and he lowered his head in embarrassment.

But fortunately, Tie Zhu was dark, and no one noticed the uneasiness on his face.

Tie Zhu and Cuihua are childhood sweethearts who grew up together and have a very close relationship.

Both families saw it and acquiesced in the relationship between the two children.

Moreover, Tie Zhu is also fourteen or fifteen years old, and he will be able to marry a wife and have children in a year or two.

If there were no accidents, Tie Zhu would marry Cuihua within one or two years.

but.

Now comes the accident.

Tie Zhu is going to study in the capital, and he doesn't know when he will come back!
However, this is something to consider later.

Now Tie Zhu is immersed in joy, and he is already looking forward to studying in the bustling capital.

Just when the villagers in the yard were discussing in full swing.

Tie Zhu's mother and Tie Zhu's younger sister came out of the kitchen.

What's going on outside?

Tie Zhu Niang came out curiously to check the situation.

"Damn it, Tie Zhu passed the exam!"

Zhao Laosan couldn't wait to tell his wife the news.

"Really? Great!"

Tie Zhuniang was overwhelmed with excitement, and the smile on the corner of her mouth almost reached her ears.

"Brother, you are really amazing!"

Tie Zhu's younger sister, Huahua, looked at Tie Zhu with admiration, her eyes were full of twinkling little stars.

Tie Zhu patted his younger sister's head happily, with a doting look on his face.

The yard was full of laughter and laughter. Everyone was congratulating Tie Zhu for passing the exam, and that he could go to the capital to study and go to school.

at this time.

The other villagers led the official servant to the gate of Tie Zhu's house.

The officer directly stepped over the threshold and entered the yard, where he saw adults standing there, as well as a few children playing and playing.

The leading officer shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Who is Zhao Tiezhu?"

The villagers watching the excitement in the yard pointed to the iron pillar one after another.

"he!"

"He is Zhao Tiezhu!"

The surrounding villagers automatically moved away to make way for the officials who came from afar.

The official came to the iron pillar, looked up and down the black iron pillar, nodded in satisfaction, and asked:

"You are Zhao Tiezhu?"

"My lord, that's the boy!"

Tie Zhu responded.

"Okay! I'm here to inform you that the assessment has passed."

"Leave as soon as possible to report in Taiyuan Fucheng in these two days, and then someone will escort you to the capital."

Hearing the public announcement from the official servant, Zhao Laosan completely let go of his hanging heart.

After all, the neighbors were spreading the news just now, and without the confirmation from the government, Zhao Laosan was still a little vain and unreliable.

Now, well, it's all dust and dust.

Taking advantage of everyone's congratulations, Zhao Laosan hurried back to the back room.

After rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, he took two pieces of silver and put them in his hands.

Then he ran out to the leading official, and said with a smile:
"Everyone has worked hard all the way here. This is money for some officials to drink tea."

While Zhao Laosan was talking, he handed over the broken silver to the leading official officer.

Zhao Laosan still understands the rule of giving some rewards to the officials who come to announce the good news.

After receiving the silver reward, the smile on the leading officer's face became even brighter.

"Hahaha! Easy to say! Easy to say!"

Then the leading officer waved his hand back, and immediately some of his subordinates stepped forward and handed over the certificate of passing the examination to Mr. Zhao.

"When you report to Taiyuan City, be sure to bring this certificate with you."

Seeing that the silver reward given by Zhao Laosan was not bad, the official sent a kind reminder.

Zhao Laosan nodded and bowed and said:
"sure!"

Seeing that the notification was in place, the leading official didn't stop, and went back with a few subordinates.

As soon as the official left, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more lively.

When the official was here just now, out of the common people's natural awe of the official, everyone did not completely let go.

It's all right now, the official is gone, and there is no restraint.

All the people in Zhuangzi gathered in the yard of Zhao Laosan's house, and congratulated Zhao Laosan one after another.

The small yard was crowded with villagers, and there was not even a place to step down.

"Zhao Laosan, for such a big happy event, it is unreasonable not to entertain everyone with a big banquet?"

A middle-aged villager said jokingly.

The smile on Zhao Laosan's face became brighter and brighter, and he patted his chest and assured:
"It's easy to say, easy to say, I will hold a banquet for everyone tomorrow."

Zhao Laosan did not forget the admonition of the official servant, and asked Tie Zhu to rush to Taiyuan City as soon as possible in the past two days.

That's why Zhao Laosan arranged the banquet for tomorrow.

Although he was in a hurry, there was no other way. He planned to take Tie Zhu to Taiyuan City the next day after the banquet.

The hustle and bustle in the yard lasted until the sun went down, and then slowly dissipated.

tonight.

Many villagers in Zhaojiazhuang couldn't sleep at night and couldn't fall asleep.

The topic of discussion between husband and wife is all about Tie Zhu passing the admissions assessment.

Those who are jealous, why didn't their own children pass the exam.

But more of it is envy.

Of course, there are also concerns.

Just like Cuihua's house.

"Master, I'm a little worried."

Zhou Shi, who was lying on the bed, was full of worry in his voice.

The husband on the side asked in surprise:
"Tie Zhu passed the exam. This is a great joy. After Cuihua marries Tie Zhu, she can live a happy life as a young mistress. What's there to worry about?"

Zhou Shi sighed.

"It was because I passed the exam that I was worried."

"Ok?"

"Head of the family, think about it! If Tie Zhu didn't get into the capital, it would be a matter of course to marry our Cuihua."

"But now, Tie Zhu has passed the exam, is promising, and is going to be an official in the city in the future, can Tie Zhu's family still take a fancy to us Cuihua?"

Hearing his wife's analysis, Cuihua's father panicked, and asked uncertainly:
"No way, Tie Zhu doesn't look like a heartless person! Besides, Zhao Laosan and his family are not that kind of snobbish people!"

Zhou said with a sad face:
"Having said that, things can change."

"When you were at Tie Zhu's house today, you must have heard what the official officer said. In the next two days, Tie Zhu will be sent to study in the capital."

"I don't know when I can come back after I go here? If I go here for ten years, do I have to make my daughter wait for ten years?"
