42. Mrs. Wang and the others walked away quietly. A few days ago, the village chief bought their fields and houses for a total of 120 taels. To be fair, Mrs. Wang, Lin Youfu and Li Guihua each got 40 taels , As for why he handed over the money to Li Guihua for safekeeping, the village chief said that he was really worried that if the money was given to Lin Youcai, he would take it to the casino to gamble all of it in the next second.

I don't know when it started, but I felt a chill in the morning. It turned out that it was the end of September before I knew it, and these few days were also the days when the rankings were released.

Tang Ze wasn't nervous at first, but he couldn't help that there was a silly man at home who was holding a bun and talking about it every day!Half a month later, the white and tender Tang Baozi was even more beautiful when he was born, because Xiao Lin was still in confinement and couldn't go out, so Zhang Qing came to chat with him every day, sometimes with a few young husbands, The cute stuffed buns were the most talked about among the few people, and Tang Ze, who was on the sidelines, was both proud and worried.

On the road leading to Lin's Village, a carriage was slowly approaching. The driver sitting on the shaft pulled the reins and let out a "wheeze", and the carriage gradually stopped.He turned back and said to the people in the carriage.

"My lord, the Lin family village is here!"

I saw a white and slender hand slowly lift the curtain, and the person sticking out was Lin Cheng who was originally staying in Qizhou waiting for the announcement.

"Thank you, this is the fare." Lin Cheng lightly jumped out of the carriage, and after paying the money, he saluted the groom as a scholar, and walked briskly towards the familiar village.

"Ah? This is Mr. Lin! Mr. Lin is back?!" When they met villagers on the way back to the village, everyone saw that Lin Cheng, who had gone to participate in the provincial examination, had returned, and immediately cried out in surprise, so thanks to this, Lin Cheng Cheng has not yet returned to his home. Everyone in the village knows that Mr. Lin, who went to Qizhou to take the provincial examination, has returned, and these few days are the days when the results are announced, and everyone is discussing whether he has passed the examination.

"Young master, you are so polite! Didn't expect such a rich and handsome man to come out of this small village?!" The groom touched the purse in his arms, praised, and then left quickly with a "drive" up.

"Grandpa! I'm back!" Stepping into the house, seeing his elderly grandparents looking at him expectantly, Lin Cheng smiled, then bowed slightly, "The unfilial son Lin Cheng knows that this trip to Qizhou Thank you everyone for worrying, but fortunately, I did not disappoint everyone's expectations!" As he spoke, Lin Cheng's eyes became slightly moist.

"Okay, okay! Haha! I knew my grandson was the best, haha!" The village chief understood as soon as he heard it, and his beard trembled when he laughed, and Mrs. Zhang was also happy to hug her precious grandson Wept with joy.

"Grandpa and grandma, I think Aze should be waiting for news from me, I'd better go to his house first."

"Okay, let's go. Looking at you like this, I think Aze should have passed the exam too. Now it's all right. Our Lin Family Village got admitted to two Juren in one fell swoop. It's really gratifying! Haha!" Recently, the village chief had the happiest days. The unhappiness caused by the matter of Wang Shi and Lin Youcai disappeared quickly.

"Hey! Ah Ze already has a son, and Ah Cheng is two years older than him. They haven't even settled their marriage yet. Aren't they in a hurry with Youwen?" Looking at her excellent grandson, Mrs. Zhang sighed.

"Let's not interfere with Ah Cheng's marriage. He has his own ideas. What about Youwu? Tell him to go to the county and call Youwen and his wife back. Our family will have a good celebration tonight! Haha!"

"You're so beautiful, old man. I'll call You Wu. Hehe~" Mrs. Zhang became more active on happy occasions, and went to the backyard while having fun. Lin Youwu and his wife were tidying up the ground in the backyard!

"Mr. Lin is back, ouch! I'm afraid we'll have another wedding in a few days!" The person who asked the question was Mrs. Zhu, the daughter-in-law of Xu Butcher, and she was the only one in the village who was the most carefree, although everyone was curious whether Lin Cheng passed the exam. But I didn't dare to ask the question outright like her. It would be embarrassing if I didn't pass the exam.

But fortunately, Lin Cheng just responded with a smile, then greeted the villagers present one by one, and walked straight to the Tang family, leaving behind a group of villagers who opened their mouths in surprise, and some of them came back to their senses and shouted. A cry of surprise.

And what is Tang Ze doing at this time?The newly-baked dad Tang Ze is washing diapers for his son. Tang Ze is squatting by the well in the backyard and scrubbing the diapers with a look of lovelessness. If you ask him, diapers can be thrown away after use. Well, but helplessly, Lin Xiao disagreed, because he was afraid that the rough fabric would cut Baozi's white and tender butt, so these diapers were made of high-quality cotton cloth. He was also embarrassed to ask Tang Ze to do the washing. Originally, he planned to do it himself, but how could Tang Ze, who loved his husband Lang Rubao, agree, so he had to bear with it and wash it himself.

Hearing the knock on the door, Tang Ze washed his hands carefully, and ran to open the door in doubt, but when he saw Lin Cheng standing outside the door with a gentle smile, he was pleasantly surprised and welcomed him in.

"Ah Cheng? Why are you back so early?" Tang Ze asked while bringing Lin Cheng to the study.

"I don't know what the result of the rural examination is?"

"Living up to Aze's expectations, Zhong Jieyuan, although Aze's ranking is not ideal, but he is also on the list, congratulations!" Lin Cheng took a sip of tea, and speaking, he was really thirsty after rushing all the way back.

"Hehe~ If I didn't know you well, I would have thought you were mocking me." Tang Ze smiled helplessly, "But it's not bad, I finally passed the exam, and I have something on my mind."

"Aze isn't going to take the exam again?"

"No, you know. I was preparing for the imperial examination to help my family live a better life in the future. I have always believed in taking things as they go. Now that I have a husband and son, I am very satisfied with this kind of life."

"That's fine, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet on your happiness with Lin'er! I'm in a hurry today, so I'll make up for the meeting gift next time." Naturally, Lin Cheng didn't express any opinion on Tang Ze's thoughts, but he read ten Several years of sage books, not only his ideals, but also the expectations of his family and teachers are on his shoulders, so he can't give up at will like Tang Ze.

"I don't know what name Aze took?"

"Ah, my first name is Tang Jinyu, and my nickname is Tang Baozi. I'm sleeping now. I think I'll be hungry when I wake up. Children are so hungry." The satisfaction and happiness are almost overflowing.

Unknowingly, Lin Cheng, who was shown his face, looked at his friend who had a son who was full of everything. He was a little envious, but also a little melancholy. He unconsciously thought of a figure in his mind, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

"Since Xiaoyu is sleeping, don't wake him up. I'll go back first. I guess grandpa has already called daddy home. When I'm free, I'll prepare a meeting gift and come to the door." Lin Cheng said, Tang He couldn't call Baozi or something, and he didn't know what Aze was thinking, calling his son such a nickname.

"Okay, it's been a long journey. It's really hard work. You can go back and have a rest first. Let's forget about the meeting gift or something. If you want to see my steamed buns, you are welcome to come anytime."

After sending Lin Cheng away, Tang Ze sighed. The freshly released Jurengong would continue to fight against a pile of diapers in the backyard.

The next day, the county magistrate who got the news did not expect that there would be a Xieyuan in his jurisdiction, and immediately asked his servants to prepare gifts, and took the official messenger to Linjiacun in person.The villagers may have never seen an official servant in their entire life, let alone the county magistrate. Now that the county magistrate appeared at the village chief's house and pointed out that he came to congratulate Lin Jieyuan, the surprise in his heart was beyond words.They knew that Lin Cheng had passed the Juren examination, but they didn't expect that he was the top of the list, and even the county magistrate came to congratulate him, this is the first person in Qingshan County!If it wasn't for the fear of disturbing the officials, the surrounding villagers would have screamed to express their excitement.

The village head tremblingly welcomed the county magistrate and his party into the main room. It was the first time in his life that he welcomed such a big official. To avoid embarrassing the atmosphere, he also signaled his second son to quickly call Lin Cheng and Tang Ze over.

"The county magistrate is here this time because I heard that there are two juren in your Lin family village, and one of them is Xie Yuan. It is really gratifying!" Qingshan county magistrate is a fat old man with a big belly. There is no chance of being promoted anymore, so he doesn't mind giving this Jieyuan some benefits, he just wants his life to be better in the future.

"Thanks to the county magistrate's attention. In fact, where you need to come here in person, they should visit you." Lin Youwen took over the conversation from the side.

"It's okay, it's okay, the county magistrate is not a person who sticks to etiquette, but where are the two juren? Let the county magistrate take a good look."

"Xiaosheng Lin Cheng, meet the county magistrate!"

"Xiaosheng Tang Ze, meet the county magistrate!"

Because of the law of this dynasty, scholars who have achieved fame do not have to kneel and salute when they see an official, so the two of them only bowed and saluted for a while.

"Okay, okay, I didn't expect the two Juren to be so young and handsome, and they really came out of a generation of talents! Haha! I wonder which one is Jie Yuan?"

"You're not talented!" Lin Cheng took a step forward.

"Haha! Alright, my name is Lin Cheng, right? I don't know if I have the confidence to take part in the exam next year?"

"Xiaosheng is willing to give it a try!"

"Okay, if you need help from the county magistrate, just ask! Well, the county magistrate is very pleased to see that the two Juren are so outstanding!"

After several people sent off the county magistrate and his party respectfully, they returned to the main room. The village chief stroked his beard, thinking about the profound meaning of the county magistrate's move.

"Grandpa, there's no need to worry. The county magistrate should just be curious that two Juren suddenly appeared in our village." Seeing his grandfather sitting there puzzled, Lin Cheng comforted him.

"Oh, I'm old, and I can't help you anymore. Forget it, I don't want to think about it so much. It's rare for Aze to come here. Let's eat here today."

"No, Xiaoxiao is still waiting for me at home. After Xiaoxiao is confinement, I will bring him to see the village chief." Tang Ze declined.When he was called by Lin Youwu, he didn't say anything clearly, he was afraid that Lin Xiao would be worried at home.

"Well then, I won't keep you anymore, I wonder what to do with the gifts left by these county magistrates?"

"Leave it, grandpa doesn't have to worry about it anymore."

"Oh, okay, then let your grandma organize it and see if there is anything A Ze needs, and you can send it to him."

"Okay, it just so happens that I'm also preparing a gift for Xiaoyu."

"You boy, since you like children so much, why don't you marry me a daughter-in-law so that I can hug my grandson too." Lin Youwen exploded when he heard this, and his wife complained to him last night why he returned Don't urge Lin Cheng to get married, but she doesn't know, it's because he doesn't urge, it's because his son is too determined, he can't help it!

"Father, there's no need to rush, we'll be here soon." Thinking of the figure of the man he met yesterday, the smile on the corner of Lin Cheng's mouth deepened unconsciously.

Thank you for your support. It is estimated that the text is almost over. The first time I wrote it, the style of writing is very immature.

My mother has always asked me to do winter vacation work, but I am afraid that I will not have time to update, so I am very entangled, alas!
