"Okay, Boss! You are so upbeat! Our family has never had a Juren in eight lifetimes. I didn't expect it! I am old and old, and I can still have this blessing. Let me say something all at once. Dad! Did you see it! Your grandson is a juren! Our family affairs and scholars are gone! Smoke is rising from the ancestral grave! Ancestors! Have you seen it! Children and grandchildren, you have long faces, and you must be blessed in the ground The boss of our family! Let him work harder and become an official, so that our family can also become an official, and we don’t have to live based on people’s faces in the future! Damn, kill the chicken, go, we want to offer sacrifices to our ancestors .”

Ayu's father was so excited that he even threw the cigarette stick away.Not to mention his mother, she kept wiping away her tears, no one in the family was in a daze, and the congratulators came to the door one by one. At this time, the reward for the good news at the door has not yet been given!It was because the neighbors next door didn't look right, they hurriedly tugged on Ayu's mother's sleeve, and pointed at the yamen servant at the door, which reminded them that there was still such a thing. Fortunately, Ayu experienced it for a while when he was a scholar. Niang immediately reacted, without further ado, she took off the silver bracelet from her hand and stuffed it into the hand of the yamen servant who announced the good news.

The yamen servant couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it. Can this be considered happy money?Fortunately, they often do this errand, and they know that people are happy to be stupid. Such situations are not uncommon, and they don't refuse. It's a generous reward, but it's more troublesome. They need to go back and find someone to exchange for the broken silver, otherwise how will they divide it!

When Ah Yu got home, the house was so lively!The three aunts and six wives are all here, except for congratulatory ones who are matchmakers, and the newlyweds are not married yet.Such a good knowledge, such a good family business, and a first-class good son-in-law candidate, they all wished to marry their own daughters.

Ayu didn't have time to chat with them, nor did he have spare ears to chat with them, because his father's eyes lit up immediately when he saw him, and he yelled for a good son, and those big palm-like hands that worked hard all year round went to him. Greetings on his shoulders, his mother touched her tears, mouthing her ancestors' blessings one by one. The younger brothers and sisters were also flushed with excitement. Now they can be regarded as the children of farming and studying. It will definitely be a higher level than before, not just anyone can say kiss.Can you not be excited!

The most important thing is his younger brothers, who have already started to study. With such a ready-made role model, their confidence in studying and in the imperial examination has increased several times. Scientific examination, why, a scholar may be able to come out, and their own future is naturally hopeful. Even if they don't make progress in the future, they can live a good life if they take the test of a scholar and set up a school, right?

Winning a scholar is a three-day banquet. This time, the family will not end easily. It is another three-day banquet. The neighbors who eat are very happy, and they are counting on the children of this family to take the exam a few more times. , They also ate a few more meals, really human!This blessing is really all from the heart, sincere!

After a few days of excitement, it finally subsided, and Ayu finally had the opportunity to talk to his parents about his going to Beijing. He may not be at home for the New Year, although the test will be in February, although Jinan is not far from the capital, although He was only the last few candidates, and the proportion of Jinshi was too low, but he still wanted to go, there was no way, who let people talk to the prince!They don't think about whether you are at home for the New Year.

"So early? I was thinking of taking you to the ancestral grave. Why did you go so early? Didn't you mean next year? What are you doing there after you go? You don't go until a few days before the exam every time." Is it?"

Even Ayu's father was surprised, he didn't understand, could it be that there is still a probationary period for Jinshi in the capital?Want to check character in advance?

Ayu smiled, after thinking about it, she simply told her parents:

"Do you still remember the rewards I got back after I became a scholar last time? It was given by the prince. It was about Miss Xia's last time. I met him when I was working in the capital. The prince said, let me Go after the exam, it seems that there is some errand for me to do!"

At this point, Ayuniang quit.Anxious on the face, I just feel that this matter is a bit unreliable:

"Boss, you are going to take an exam. Will this job affect your exam? If so, what can you do? Can you not go?"

Ayu saw that her mother was only thinking of herself, and her heart was so warm that she quickly reached out and took her hand, comforting her:

"Mother, I won the exam this time, but this ranking is really not good. To be honest, I really don't have any confidence in the last few. After all, I have only studied for a few years, and I have only studied for a few years. It is incomparable in any way, but the prince said at the time, if I go, if the time comes, if the Jinshi fails to pass the exam, then he will find a way to arrange an errand for me, and I will do it in the Yamen first, and wait for the next time. Even if I fail the exam all the time, with my status as a Juren, I will be able to rise up in the Yamen in the future. I will not be a high-ranking official in the future, but there is hope for a junior official of the sixth or seventh rank, mother , I thought about it, anyway, he is a prince, he can be so considerate, just for his kindness, I will go, no matter what, it can be regarded as my son can eat public meals early, and become an official, right? The prince just doesn't care, and his face is there, how can he have a nine-rank appearance, our family can be called an official family, this is good for the family and for the brothers and sisters. "

After Ayu explained so calmly, Ayuniang finally felt more at ease, but she didn't admit that Ayu said that he couldn't pass the Jinshi examination.

"What nonsense, you are so smart, you have only been studying for a long time, and you have successfully become a master of Juren all the way. Many neighbors around want to attach land to our house, so as to avoid some taxes! Such a decent, such a Skill, who doesn't say that you are going to be a high-ranking official in the future, how could you not pass the exam?"

At the critical moment, Ayu's father was still clear-headed. Hearing what Ayu said, he frowned for a long time, and then said:

"Boss, you are right. We have no roots. We came from a small family. We were servants before. Our status is low, so it is inevitable that people will look down on you. To be honest, even Dad can't imagine that you won the Juren this time." , I originally thought that I could have a scholar, and I would open a school in the future, which is already a glory of the ancestors. But this time, God is merciful, and the ancestors bless you. I heard that many of these people won’t be able to become officials. Isn’t it because they have no connections? If you can curry favor with the palace this time, then you will have a backer in the future. Those who fail the exam will have a way out, that is your younger siblings You guys, you can benefit even if you don’t even know it, it’s because you think carefully.”

Speaking of this, Ayu's father couldn't help but sighed, his family has no ability, can't give much help to his children, and can't support him. He has put his mind together, and now, for the sake of his future and the future of his family, it is really not easy for him to plan so hard!It's because I, a father, have no skills!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help scolding the other little ones who were listening to them in a daze:

"You guys cheered up one by one. You have been a little happy and silly these days. Relying on your elder brother, your status has also risen, but you can't lose your sense of proportion. You should study when you should study, and you should do work. It's not easy for your elder brother to work. This business was set up by your elder brother licking his face, running off his legs, and working hard to do things for others. Now, for our family to be better in the future, your elder brother has to go to the capital to work hard , at such an old age, you don't even care about marrying a daughter-in-law, you all have to remember your elder brother's kindness. Second child, you have to put more effort into your studies, the family can't just rely on one promising person for support, If you can also go up, even if you are only a scholar, even if you are only a child, our family will be able to gain a firm foothold among scholars, and your eldest brother will be able to relax."

Although Ayu's father is a tofu grinder, he can see clearly. He has seen everything Ayu has done, and even has his own views on Ayu's never marrying. His marriage was also used as a bargaining chip, thinking that when he came to the capital and took refuge in someone, he could use the method of marrying someone to be close to someone, so it would be smoother. Thinking about his son's scheming everywhere and taking himself as a bet for the rest of his life, how could he be so happy? Feel good!

Thinking about the rewards from the nobles that Ayu has brought back one after another in the past few years, I understand that he is determined to climb up, he must already have an idea, or he has already formed a camp, and he is doing things for others, and even Since Ayu never kept the reward money for himself, but bought land for his family, Ayu's father also felt a little terrified. Sometimes he felt that Ayu was simply arranging funeral affairs, for fear that the money would be wasted indiscriminately. Desperately wanting to buy more property so that the family can have more confidence, Ayu's father felt that maybe the errands his son did were not easy things, or maybe they were dangerous things, and he felt even more uneasy.But he didn't dare to ask, for fear that the boss's concealment would be exposed, and the truth would make him panic even more, so he just lived his life like this, acting as if he didn't know anything as Ayu hoped.

How about Ayu and this family?Just because of Ayu's father's thoughts, he knew that he put Ayu on the tip of his heart, couldn't Ayu feel it!

Listening to their father's words, the brothers and sisters also felt that it was not easy for their elder brother. Thinking about the elder brother leaving soon, the elder brother who grew up together and took care of them may not be seen for a long time, and everyone's eyes are red. The second child nodded even more fiercely, and he swore in his heart that he would be successful, that he would be his elder brother's arm, and that he would not let his elder brother work so hard alone.

Ayunniang's eyes were red again,

"Ah Yu, what your father said was, what should you do with your daughter-in-law? I thought that you have become a juror, and it would be easy to talk about marriage. Yesterday, Matchmaker Wang said that there is an old scholar in town who is a good girl. Literate, well-growth, and the right age, but you are leaving again, this...how long will your marriage be delayed?"

When Ah Yu heard that it was another marriage, her head hurt again, she hurriedly shirked it, and thought of a good reason:

"Mother, don't worry about it. When I arrive in the capital, if I can do well, maybe I can marry someone better! If not, those big girls in the Prince's Mansion are also good. Didn't they say it! I'd rather marry everyone Bi, don’t marry a little girl, the big girl in the palace has better rules and sees more of the world, and she will be an official in the future, and she knows a lot about human relations, so she can get it out. If it doesn’t work, I’ll go to the prince to ask for grace Go. Make sure you have a daughter-in-law."

This is just Ayu's evasive words. Ayuniang's face was full of joy when she heard it, and she felt that her son's thinking made sense. Only Ayu's father flashed such thoughts in his eyes, and even with it, there was a touch of distress. , son, this is really well thought out, and I have risked my whole life!This child, who is silent, has thought of everything, it's useless to be a father!
