Love of Daiyu in the Red Chamber

When it came time to release the list, the Zhong family had sent someone to guard in front of the government office early on. Zhong Chu had nothing to worry about, and everything went with the flow.

He is sure that he will be on the list, but the ranking is not that important.The Zhong family and his wife didn't need him to surpass everyone and be at the top of the list, and Lin Ruhai didn't ask him to take the top spot or else his reputation would be buried.

Not everyone can have such a demeanor as the number one scholar.

He can't become a big fat man with one bite, and everything he has now is enough for him to slowly plan for the future.

"Master! Madam! Uncle! You got it! You got it!" The servant who had gone to see the ranking came back and ran to the Zhong family couple to say congratulations and receive the reward.

"Okay, my son is in high school, I'm overjoyed, let someone tell me the old clan of my family, my son's high school recently held a banquet and invited everyone to come to the banquet." Father Zhong couldn't hide the joy on his face, and laughed more than.

Mother Zhong looked at him madly, and asked anxiously: "Are you in A or B? Where is it?"

"If you go back to your wife, the uncle is the eighth in Jiazi!"

Zhong's mother was overjoyed, she only received Lin Ruhai's letter the day before yesterday, and she thought about waiting for today's announcement to tell Zhong Chuhao a double happiness, but the result was as she expected, how could she not be happy.

Pulling Father Zhong, who could no longer find Bei, to the small study.

Someone had already come to inform Zhong Chu about the release of the rankings. It was expected that he would win the ranking, but he was a little surprised that he was still the eighth place.

"Achu." The son's calm demeanor infected the Zhong family and his wife, and their hearts, which were cheering because they won the list, finally calmed down a little. "It's a great joy to be selected in the list today, and my mother has another happy event to tell you."

Zhong Chu was puzzled, what other happy event was worth visiting as his parents?He knew that brother Ming would choose a date to get married, and he also knew that the harvest of the Zhong family's shop this year was three or four times higher than last year... Could it be that his mother's old tree was blooming and gave him a younger brother or sister? !

Zhong Chuzhan and Zhan Weiwei looked at his mother carefully.

"Mother, mother... If there is another brother or sister, I will prepare a family property or dowry for him in the future..."

"What nonsense!" The Zhong family and his wife were annoyed by his words, but today they really didn't want to argue with this kid.

"It's your master Master Lin who wrote a letter, and he agreed with your father and his proposal."

What did his master agree to make the second elder so happy? !

"Let you be engaged to Daiyu."

What?

Zhong Chu was stunned, how old is Daiyu? !six years old! ! !How old is he? He is 16 years old. The difference between the two is ten years!Besides, he has always regarded Daiyu as his younger sister!

"Father, mother, this, this is not appropriate!" He stammered.

Mother Zhong doesn't care if it's suitable or not, Daiyu has a high status and a pleasing personality, and the two of them know each other well.His son's marriage to Daiyu is still high.

"Sister, she's still young..." Zhong Chu was dying, no matter what, it was impossible for him to have feelings for a six-year-old baby.Ancient times are not modern times. After getting married, if you don't want to get married and separate, the two parties will not have much impact. If Daiyu has a heart in the future, once she withdraws from the marriage, Daiyu will definitely be criticized by the world.

The more Zhong Chu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, and he tried hard to convince his parents, but the two couples did not have the anxiety in his heart, and happily went out to inform relatives and friends about Zhong Chuzhongju.As for the marriage, it was indeed as Zhong Chu said, Daiyu was still young, it was good for the two of them to know about it themselves, there was no need to announce it widely.

Zhong Chu was serious this time, and wrote a letter to go to the capital.Let Xueying and the others take good care of Daiyu, especially Baoyu.If the elder sisters and sisters in the family are kind-hearted, you can get close to them.He will go to Beijing to catch the exam in a few days, and will visit Daiyu then.

He also wrote a letter to Lin Ruhai to tell Lin Ruhai that he had been selected, and told him not to overwork himself, he was busy with government affairs but he had to take care of his health.After thinking about it, Zhong Chu mentioned in the letter what Daiyu had encountered in Jia's mansion, and said that the master would return to Beijing to take up his post in two years. If he needed someone to return to Beijing to buy land in advance, he could do it on his behalf.

Zhong Chu is upset here, and the few servants of the Zhong family don't know what he is thinking.

Everyone was happy in their hearts. From now on, their family will be an official family, everyone is full of joy, and they work much harder.

The Zhong family is one of the few peasant couples who can read and write. After being lucky, they donate money to the clan every year to buy sacrificial land and build the ancestral temple.Although there are not many, they are also named in front of the patriarch.

The Zhong family has been farming for generations, and most of them have spare money to train scholars.However, in the last two generations, only one grandpa was admitted as a scholar.Unexpectedly, after a generation, there will be such a master as Zhong Chu, and the next generation, the champion will be just around the corner.

As soon as they heard Zhong Chu Zhongju, the patriarch and several clan elders had an urgent meeting. As long as Zhong Chu would not do anything ungrateful in the future, all the resources of the Zhong clan would be biased towards him first.

The Zhong family's main house is located in Zhongjia Village. Considering the large number of family members, the Zhong family held a banquet at the house in the city first, and held a banquet at the old house the next day.

The people coming from the city were nothing more than Zhong Chu's classmates, Zhong's father's business partners, the manager of the store, and the women, women, and neighbors that Zhong's mother made friends with.What's more, Master Futai sent someone to send some pens, ink, paper and inkstones. I heard that Nan Feiyan also had a banquet today, and Master Futai sent him 50 taels of silver, some pens, ink, paper and inkstones.In addition, the head of the family and several elders brought a few capable juniors to shake the field.

The patriarch and Father Zhong took care of the elders, Tang Mou and Lu Ming spontaneously greeted the men of the same generation, and Liang Xiaoyu also came to entertain the female relatives with Mother Zhong.

Everyone was so busy that their feet didn't touch the ground, but Zhong Chu was the most leisurely, surrounded by a few classmates laughing and booing.

After drinking with his classmates for a while, he stood up to toast to the elders, and he and his peers complimented each other and drank a lot.

The guests saw that he was not superior but easy to get along with, and they came to drink with him in groups or alone. Zhong Chu would return one or three glasses. The more and more alcohol made his body dizzy, but his head was very weak is sober.

Insisting on sending all the guests out one by one, Zhong Chu went back to his room and fell asleep.

Zhong Chuke said that he would never get drunk after drinking a thousand cups. No matter how much he drank, he would still be sober enough to remember what happened while drinking. He would always remind himself not to fall down until he was in a safe place. Only when he was in his own room would he not be obtrusive and conspicuous. fall asleep.

Tang Mou had been drunk for a long time and was helped to the guest room. The maid brought him hangover soup and poured it down for him, and his snoring was deafening.

Father Zhong was happy, and he pulled Mother Zhong to talk non-stop. Mother Zhong let him babble, wiped his face and hands with a hot towel, and ordered the maidservant to clean up the mess.

Lu Ming was able to soberly send Liang Xiaoyu to the door of his house, and was dragged by the Liang family to have a conversation. After drinking the hangover soup that Liang Xiaoyu cooked himself, he returned home happily.

Lu Ming originally lived on the mountain, but Mother Zhong said that after marrying a daughter-in-law, it is not safe for her to live with him in the mountain.So a house was built for him in Zhongjia Village. Lu Ming didn't want to accept it at first. Even if he accepted it, he paid for it. When Zhong's mother cried, she said that Lu Ming had never regarded them as family members, otherwise how could he tell the two sides? , and Lu Ming is their son, they can still afford a house and a few shops.

Lu Ming had no choice but to accept the house, the shop refused to accept anything, and Zhong's mother made a fuss again, saying that he was not filial, how dare the elder give up.Lu Ming was left with nothing to say, and he knew that the Zhong family and his wife really loved him, and they didn't want to let them down too much, so they could only accept the shop.The Zhong family and his wife are satisfied, and Lu Ming is even more filial to the Zhong family and his wife.

Before Zhong Chu was in Gusu, Lu Ming would go to Zhong's house whenever he was free. When Zhong Chu came back, he took the time to go to the mountain to pick some good things that he had marked long ago.

When he got home, Lu Ming took out the hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum that he had picked, and waited for it to be delivered to the banquet at Zhong's house the next day.

The banquet held by the Zhong family's home was even more lively, different from the politeness before, the folks in the big hometown knew each other well, and there was a lively scene.Zhong Chu was drunk by the elders and juniors again, so dizzy that he could only pretend to be naive.

Lu Ming helped Zhong Chu block a lot of alcohol today, but he is fine, his face is not obvious, and he walks steadily, if it is not for the smell of alcohol, he would not be able to tell that he has drunk alcohol.

The patriarch raised his eyebrows, Zhong Chu watched them grow up, and he was not arrogant and looked down on his family when he gained power. Once this person is relaxed and happy, he is easy to get ahead.No, he was carried back by several juniors of the Zhong family in turn.

"The Zhong family is really blessed. The child Lu Ming will get married next month, and you will be able to embrace your grandson soon." Uncle Zhong patted Father Zhong on the shoulder, and said sincerely with envy.

Uncle Zhong is the uncle of the family, and he has an elder brother who died of starvation in the early years of famine, but his mother couldn't stand the blow and followed him.Only his father and him were left. Within two years, his father married a bride, had a bride, and gave birth to a younger brother for him.The stepmother treated him lukewarm, and gave him away when he became an adult. Later, Uncle Zhong married a daughter-in-law through his own efforts and gave birth to him a white and fat son. Unfortunately, his son is now in his twenties. Unwilling to get married.

Uncle Zhong is so worried about the grandchildren who are not married, their hair is going to be gray.

"We don't live in the village, so you're stubborn, and you need to take care of their young couple more in the future," Father Zhong replied.

"Xiaoyang, it's just that he hasn't seen the right one yet. Don't worry, young people. Fate will come naturally. We Ah Chu probably won't get married until [-]." Father Zhong knew that Uncle's heart disease can only be comforted in this way.

It's not good for Uncle Zhong to sigh on other people's happy days, shake his head with a wry smile, and follow his mother-in-law's house.

The family lived in this house for a few more days before going back to the city. Mother Zhong was busy with Lu Ming's marriage, and Father Zhong didn't want her to be too tired to help her.

Zhong Chu was dragged by Tang Mou and a few classmates again, and spent the whole day traveling around the mountains, playing in the water, teasing cats and dogs, like a playboy.
