Zhang Yun's ancient life

The Breaker headed north and was about to return to the military port soon. Suddenly, there was a burst of firecrackers from the shore. Li Wei heard the sound of firecrackers and looked curiously towards the shore. A group of people could be seen, walking all the way, setting off firecrackers all the way, and many people followed behind them, and the road was very lively.

Li Wei looked interesting, so he asked the servant standing by the side: "Is this a good day that I don't know? Why are the people on the shore so happy? I think the nearest festival is still a few days away. Look." The people on the shore look happy, could it be that some rich family in the county is marrying a wife or a daughter?"

The servant heard the words and looked over to the coast, and after looking carefully, he returned: "Returning to the adults, the little one didn't look like someone was hosting a wedding banquet. The young one didn't see the bride's red sedan chair, nor Seeing the bridegroom officer riding a tall horse, there is no one playing suona in front of the team, but there are quite a few people beating gongs and drums."

Hearing this, Li Wei looked towards the coast again and saw that he was interested. Many naval officers and soldiers who had finished their missions and had nothing to do beside him also came over, and Li Wei was surrounded by people in a short while.

Li Wei looked at the people around him and asked, "Does anyone know why the people on the shore are so happy?"

After hearing his question, the soldiers discussed in a low voice, and one of the sergeants answered: "Didn't the mansion hold the Spring Festival a few days ago? The general remembers that today seems to be a day of achievement. People should be the ones who get the news and report it. According to the local customs, after receiving the reward from the host family, the reporter has to go around the county town. This is to thank the host family for the reward. It also means to make a name for the master's family, so that others will know that it is the master and young master of that family who won the election."

Li Wei heard the words and said: "Hearing what you said, I also remembered that this is indeed the time when Chunwei became famous. From this point of view, someone in the county should have won the Juren, but I don't know it is The scholar of that family, but no matter who it is, this time it can be considered as a top talent."

After finishing speaking, he didn't care about the bustle on the shore, he turned his head and said to the servant behind him: "Raise the sails, it's going to be dark, why go back quickly."

The people in the navy were thinking about Zhang Yun and the others, and Guan Jing was also thinking about him.

During Zhang Yun's absence, Guan Jing missed him all the time, and it was even better when coaxing Bao Ni. When Bao Ni was tired from playing and rested, Guan Jing didn't dare to rest. Find a lot of things to do for myself, afraid that once I stop, I will think of Zhang Yun involuntarily.

Although I know that with Zhang Yun's temperament, there will be no reason to suffer outside, but Guan Jing still can't stop herself from thinking about him. She is always worried about whether he is doing well outside, whether he eats on time, whether he wears clothes on time. Have you taken care of your luggage, and are you thinking about yourself like him.

Once a person has something on his mind, it is especially easy to lose his mind when doing things. It is better when Bao Ni is in front of Guan Jing. It is not easy to be distracted when there are children hanging around, but once Bao Ni is gone, Guan Jing is often a success. In a state of daze, if no one calls, you can be alone from noon to night.

Fortunately, He Zhen came to visit again these days, with someone to accompany her, Guan Jing's mind-wandering problem was a little better, although he would do it from time to time, but it was much better than before.

On this day, Guan Jing and He Zhen were drinking tea under the vines in the yard, and Bao Ni was practicing crawling on the thick canvas beside him. Guan Jing was chatting with He Zhen while looking at Bao Ni from time to time. Seeing that she stayed obediently within the range of the canvas and did not go out, she turned around and continued drinking tea and chatting with He Zhen.

Seeing his worry, He Zhen asked jokingly: "Since brother Jing is so worried, then take Bao Ni into the house. Although it is spring, the sun is not so bright yet. Poison, but after all, the child is still young, so there is no rush to come out to play at this moment."

Guan Jing heard the words and said: "I don't want to either. It's your brother Yun who insists that Bao Ni should bask in the sun for a quarter of an hour every day. What do you say so that the child can be strong? I can't say no to him, so I have to rely on him. When the sun just came out or was about to set, take Bao Ni out and put it in the yard, let her play and dry it while she was in the sun.

He Zhen was speechless for a long time after hearing the words, and returned after a while: "Brother Yun always has some unpredictable thoughts, I don't know what he thinks this time."

Guan Jing heard the words and replied: "I didn't think about how his strange ideas came out. Anyway, I couldn't figure it out. Since Bao Ni likes to go out to bask in the sun, I simply don't care about it. The two of them can toss about as much as they like."

When the two were chatting happily, there was a sudden burst of firecrackers outside the yard, followed by the sound of gongs and drums. Bao Ni was in the sun and was planning to take a nap in the warmth of the rising sun. I was dazed there when I was awakened by the noise.

Bao Ni, who was very displeased by this, opened her throat and howled. Guan Jing quickly hugged her and coaxed her, and said while coaxing: "What's going on? I haven't heard of anyone getting married today. Yes, why are the firecrackers and drums coming up?"

He Zhen was also very curious, so she replied after hearing the words: "I also want to know what's going on, why don't we open the door and have a look."

So Guan Jing hugged Bao Ni and came to the gate with He Zhen. As soon as the two of them opened the gate, they saw a group of people beating and carrying something to pass by the gate.

The two of them understood at a glance that someone had been hit by a felony, and a group of people were helping the person who announced the good news to carry it.

Lifting is a tradition here. If someone in the town wins a scholar, relatives and friends will come over, carry the pens, inks, papers and inkstones he used when studying, and show them along the street with drums and gongs. Let people know that someone in your family is a juren.

He Zhen and Guan Jing watched those people happily pass by their door, and passed all the way to the north. After turning around the alley for a long time, they could no longer hear the gongs, drums and noise.

Only then did the two return to the house, Bao Ni stopped crying and was sobbing with her fingers in her mouth, Guan Jing saw her appearance and knew that she was sleepy, so she hurried back to the house and took her away. Fang Jin coaxed him in the cradle.

He Zhen also packed up his things and came in. Seeing this, Guan Jing said: "Little sister, put the tea set in the sink. I will wash it later, and put the canvas on the kang. It will be folded and put away later." stand up."

He Zhen put the tea set in the sink after hearing the words, and then folded the canvas spread aside, and said while folding: "I just remembered, my father said that today is the day when Chunwei is listed, since there are people It means that there are scholars in our town who have won the exam, which is a big deal, and there are some in our town who haven't been elected in almost ten years."

Guan Jing heard the words and said: "Isn't it? The last time I passed the exam was when I was a child, but the town has been very lively for a while."

After hearing this, He Zhen said, "I just don't know whose family's scholar won the election this time."

Guan Jing heard the words and replied: "There are only a few scholars in the town, and they are the ones who can't escape, otherwise who else can be."

He Zhen thought for a while and said, "Why did you look at those people just now, as if they were carrying things to the north? The Xu family seems to be the only one who lives there with talented people. Zhongju Could it be the second brother-in-law?"

Guan Jing was startled when she heard the words, and silently sketched the home addresses of the scholars in the town. The only ones living in the north were Xu Xiucai's family. Since those people went to the north, most of them won the exam. That's him.

Thinking of this, he said: "He is the only scholar living in the north, besides, I have heard others mention that Xu Xiucai is quite famous in the county, if he is elected, I will not be surprised. "

He Zhen heard the words and thought for a while and said: "If he really got the job, he must have a banquet for guests and friends in a few days. We just wait."

The two of them really guessed right. This time in Chunwei, Jeju Prefecture won a total of 30 candidates, and Li County stood for 2 candidates. One of them was Guan Rong's husband-in-law, a scholar from the Xu family.

The news of Xu Xiucai's selection spread throughout the town on the second day. For the next few days, the Xu family was very lively. Not only did a large number of relatives and friends come over, but also some unknown people carried Gifts come over to congratulate.

The wealthy households in the county, the squires in the countryside, and even some principals in the county also thought of ways to send gifts, and some of them even wrote invitations jointly, inviting him to the banquet.

One day, when He Zhen came back from the outside, Guan Jing saw her angrily and asked, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you still feel fine when you went out?"

He Zhen sat down on the stool, picked up the tea on the table and started to drink. Guan Jing was afraid that she would choke, so she hurried over and said, "Slow down, no one will grab you."

He Zhen drank tea for a while before feeling better, and said to Guan Jing who looked concerned: "This is really bad luck, I really wanted to go out to my second uncle's house to see Brother Lian, but I didn't expect it. It was Sister Rong that I met there."

Guan Jing heard the words and said: "Why did she embarrass you? It shouldn't be, isn't your relationship usually good?"

He Zhen heard the words and said: "I thought so too. When I saw her today, I rushed over to congratulate her, but she is Mrs. Juren after all. It's different. She said in a few sentences. You choked me when you spoke, and it pissed me off."
