Husband and wife are hot on the kang

After resting for a day, they set off to go home. They could afford to wait here. The family members must be worried, so they might as well go back and wait. Anyway, if they announce the good news, they will go directly to their registered home.

A group of people walked for a day, and finally arrived at Shibalipu in the evening.

The whole village came out to welcome it!

The solemnity made Lin Jie and Hong Zetao tremble with fear, fear!

"Go back, don't talk too much!" The old village chief pushed people back.

Yu Liangji explained to everyone: "The results haven't come out yet, we will come back first, everyone wait two more days!"

Everyone reluctantly left because of their hope. In fact, everyone was looking forward to winning the exam, so that their children would have more hope.

Back home, Yu Baobao ran out and hugged Yu Liangji's thigh and acted like a baby. He missed his uncle and uncle.

The uncle is Yu Liangji, and the uncle is Shi Hongda.

After a lot of intimacy, everyone tacitly didn't ask about the exam situation, what to eat, what to drink, and even a hot bath to take a bath.

It was not until the next day that the old village chief came over to find Yu Liangji and Shi Hongda.

"Although the harvest this year is good, the border is not smooth, and the newspapers have said that it is very likely that taxes and grains will be collected on the spot to supplement the military rations." The old village chief sat on a chair and touched his cigarette pipe and pot: "Your family has no taxes for the time being. Good, but, this matter, what do you think of Juren?"

Yu Liangji thought about it carefully. Because of his presence, his family was exempted from taxation. The [-] mu of land that Shi Hongda brought over as a dowry was wasteland land. It was tax-free for the first three years, and half-taxed for the next five years. This year is only the third year.

So don't worry about taxes and food.

The imperial court has a rule that taxes and grains must be paid. In order to prevent people from farming when they have money, taxes and grains are rigid regulations. Among ten families, only one family is allowed to pay for grains with money. Otherwise, they will all be given money. Food to go?

"If there is an order from above, then give it away, but I have a lot of sorghum rice, can I exchange some corn with everyone?" Yu Liangji said: "You know, I have a lot of family and little land, so I will give it to you first. My family has some time, after I have bought enough food, I will send tax food."

The old village chief understood that the delivery of tax and food would be at least after the ninth day of September. This is the usual practice in previous years, but this time it is not food, but directly to the garrison, right?

The old man was also a little worried.

"Then you collect the grain as soon as possible. Although your family doesn't pay taxes, you have to stand up for me when something happens. My old man can call people." The old village head wrapped the cigarette pipe around the pipe pot.

"Don't worry, talk to me if you have something to do!" Yu Liangji happily sent the old village head away, and turned to look for Liu Wenxi: "Hurry up and buy what we want to eat, take out the sorghum rice, and exchange corn grains with others Just buy some miscellaneous grains, just like in previous years, just go to the county town to buy rice and white noodles, buy more!"

"Are you afraid of...?" Liu Wenxi was startled.

The war on the frontier is not a secret, and the common people are concerned about this kind of war right at their doorstep. "There is also briquette, buy two thousand catties!" Yu Liangji hastened to order: "Our family has almost all kinds of autumn vegetables, and then go and buy some rapeseeds."

In addition to these, there are also cotton cloth, cotton and other things for the winter, which Yu Liangji hoards in large quantities. It was so cold last year that he was frightened. It is not an exaggeration to drop water into ice!

The flakes of heavy snow are really as big as a goose feather!

One winter, there is no interruption of snow removal!

Not only Yu's house, but also Shibalipu started to move. Liu Wenxi organized a manpower to go to the county town for big purchases. Yu Liangji also went to the county town to find the old mountain chief.

"Two more gentlemen?" Lao Shanzhang frowned: "The results haven't come down yet?"

Are you in a hurry?If they fail the exam, they will lose their jobs here. It will be too stressful for Lin Jie and Hong Zetao.

"If they pass the exam, send them to Fucheng to study. Next year, they will go to the capital to study. The next year, they will have an exam. Enter the examination room and try it out." Yu Liangji smiled and said to Laoshan: "If you fail the exam, you have to go to Fucheng I have prepared all the places to study, and they have also been teaching in Shibalipu for three years. When I go out and say, the children there are all enlightened by Jinshi, and it sounds good!"

Lao Shanchang stroked his beard and looked at Yu Liangji, showing no embarrassment at all, he was determined!

"Besides, there are many children, and two teachers are not enough. Let's find two more. The eight young talents can lead the small class separately. The two gentlemen in the big class will worry about it. Wait for the eight talented students to take the exam. I’m sure there are still children who passed the examination as scholars.”

This is the meaning of continuous generation after crop!

"Okay, give me three days, and I'll find two people for you." The old mountain chief thought for a while, and there are really two people who are more suitable, but he doesn't know if they are willing or not.

Yu Liangji left happily, leaving the problem for the old mountain chief to solve.

Shi Hongda also followed him to the county seat, but he was visiting the county magistrate, and the two of them didn't know what they were talking about. Anyway, when they came back, Shi Hongda was always thoughtful.

On the sixth day of September, early in the morning, there was a little clear frost. This is the rhythm of getting cold. Aunt Song and Miss Song have already distributed winter clothes to everyone. They started to make spring clothes and embroider dowry by the way. After all, it is November To get married!

Yu Liangji first changed into thin winter clothes for Yu Baobao, and then put them on for himself and Shi Hongda, and now he was breathing outside, it's already September!

On this day, the official messengers came to announce the good news. Compared with the time of Zhongxiucai, this time it was more grand, and there was a little guard of honor, although there were only two people holding a sign, and one said "High School".Another reads "Ju Ren".

The eight people who came to announce the good news came in a group of four. Two groups of people came to announce the good news to two people. One was for Lin Jie, congratulations to him. , in the government examination, No.20.

In the government examination, [-] Wen Juren and [-] Wu Juren were selected. Both of them were in the top [-], absolutely on top!

1000 out of 200 people, top 70.00 out of [-] people, [-]% of the people are not as good as the two of them!

The old village head hung up [-] rings of earth red firecrackers and put them at the gate of Shibalipu for a long time. Yu Liangji blinked at Liu Wenxi, and Liu Wenxi immediately sealed a double red envelope to the reporter.

There was at least 20 taels of silver in a purse, and 50 taels were given at the beginning!

Shibalipu is boiling again!

Even the old mountain chief rushed over. He knew the news earlier than they did. When he knew it, he packed his luggage and came here. Even the county magistrate also took time to come over to congratulate him. Liu Wenxi had already greeted the two new masters. Yes, I bought a lot of ingredients, all of which are dry goods, so I’m not afraid to put them away. If I don’t win, I can eat at home.

Lin Jie and Hong Zetao were so excited that their eyes were red!

Juren!

One step away from Jinshi!

This is a relationship that was carefully taught by Yu Juren. The two of them are grateful to Liangji, and they are humble in front of outsiders. Standing with Yu Liangji, they put on a posture that only Liangji will follow .

Yu Liangji himself didn't realize that the happy news came early in the morning from Flying Rider Express. By noon, all the people who were supposed to come had arrived. Liu Wenxi took away the pile of things from their family's banquet for everyone who was received in Shiba Academy. After coming out, He Xi's table was placed in Shiba Academy.

Maybe Yu Liangji himself didn't notice it, he was so happy, wherever he went, he was followed by two new imperial examination candidates, eight young scholars, and a group of people who were all famous.

There were quite a few people who came to watch the excitement, and some of them had relatives with Shibalipu, such as Li Laosan of Lijia Village who married his daughter to Zhang Gui's house.

In comparison, the visitor from Zhangjia Village who had just lost a Juren was a bit forced to smile, although the one who was really happy was Mr. Zhang.

Zhang Yunyi's fame as a Juren was not preserved. After being deprived, all illegal income was refunded according to the law, and he was sent a thousand miles, three years of apprenticeship, and five years of hard labor.

If it weren't for the fact that Zhang Yunyi was once a Juren, the time for this service would have to be rounded up, ten years, and only two years were exempted.

Now seeing three Juren and eight scholars in Shibalipu, this grand event should have belonged to Zhangjia Village!

Zhang Yuwen smiled and pulled the baby to talk in a low voice, and gave the baby a walnut to eat from time to time. This kind of hickory nut has a very hard shell.

Chef Huang went to battle again with the whole family. At home, [-] little roosters were slaughtered, and [-] tables were served. There were also [-] big geese, which were stewed with potatoes. Stewed vermicelli.

Stewed pork ribs with dried beans, fished a fishing net from the river, picked out twenty carp of about the same size, and made braised carp.

The last hard dish is braised pork, which looks very appetizing when it looks oily!

The sauerkraut is only marinated at this time, it is not sour enough to be served on the table, and the rest is stir-fried vegetables, fried peanuts, Sixi meatballs, black and white vegetables, stir-fried lettuce, home-cooked cold dishes, and pickled cucumbers.

There are twelve of them together, and there is a large bowl of seafood soup, which is made from dried shrimp, crab, razor clams, dried kelp, and seaweed as the soup base, which is full of umami.

The preparation of this dish is even richer than during the Chinese New Year, and the staple food is dumplings stuffed with mutton and scallions!

All the aunts in the village made dumplings in the back kitchen, and some even secretly brought home two...not for themselves, but for their own children. It is said that eating them can increase IQ...This is Wen Juren and Wu Juren. The staple food on the table, dumplings stuffed with mutton and scallions, will make you smart once you eat it.

After Yu Liangji knew about it, he couldn't help laughing, but he still told Liu Wenxi: "Pack more, people in our village, whoever has a few children, let each child have two dumplings, share some, so that they can eat when they go back." arrive."

"The little master has a good heart." Liu Wenxi said with a smile: "Two sheep are enough for everyone to eat."

"Pity the hearts of the world's parents." Yu Liangji said it well, and stared back blankly at Yu Baobao, who also ate two dumplings stuffed with mutton and green onions.

"Uncle, Grandpa let me eat it just now, and Uncle Shi also let me eat two..."

Yu Baobao looked at the bowl in Yu Liangji's hand... two dumplings in tangled eyes.

"I didn't see it, I'll watch you eat these two!" Yu Liangji almost fed him directly.

Yu Baobao had no choice but to frown, and finished the two dumplings stuffed with mutton and scallions. His belly was full after eating, so he didn't dare to wander around the table anymore, and ran out to play with his classmates.

As a result, many children got together, and after asking, they found out that everyone was stuffed with at least four dumplings, and one person was even worse. His grandparents, maternal grandfather and grandmother, each gave him two dumplings, and eating eight was not counted. , Father and mother gave it to the two again, and ran away after eating the baby, never going back!

Shibalipu is festive, joyful, and happy. Even the county magistrate came to visit, and everyone is even happier. In the past, Shibalipu, let alone the county magistrate, even the county magistrate, never came. It's better now, at the beginning of this year, when Yu Liangji was forming a bond, he came here once, and now he's coming again.

When the old village chief socialized with the village chiefs of several nearby villages, he was all red and proud, thinking to himself: You guys sometimes envy me!

Yuwen county magistrate is also happy, this place is indeed a treasure land of geomantic omen, once you come here, you will have political achievements, two people, one civil and one military, balance!
