Back to the ancient restaurant

"I hit it, I hit it!"

When the voice of the person who came to announce the good news fell, Father Li's legs softened and he couldn't help taking a step back. Li Zifeng who was following behind hurriedly stretched out his hand to support his father.The old lady Li on the side had already begun to smile and wipe away her tears, nodding her head and muttering hello.

Li Zian was originally standing behind everyone, but it was still like a dream when he was pulled to the door.Hearing the sound of the gong beating approaching, Li Zian looked up in a daze at the two officials who had appeared in sight, and grinned involuntarily.

In a short while, two officials on horseback had arrived.Turning off his horse and looking at the crowd of people, he asked, "May I ask who is Mr. Li Zi'an?"

The two officials fell behind, and the patriarch of Li Family Village hurriedly dragged Li Zi'an, who hadn't recovered, to the two officials, "This is it, this is it."

"Congratulations to Mr. Li, congratulations to Mr. Li, who passed the examination as a first-class scholar."

The first-class scholars are lin students. In addition to giving lin rice six dou to each lin student every month, the government will also give an additional [-] taels of lin silver every year.In this era, if the members of the Li family don't have any big expenses, their monthly expenses are probably only one penny.Six buckets of rice and four taels of silver per month are enough for a family of three or four to survive for a year.

Announcing the good news is a fat job, not something ordinary people can get.The two official servants bowed to the old couple of Li's family with great winking, and hurriedly said, "I think you two are the old lady and the old man. I'm happy to announce the good news to the old lady and the old man."

At this moment, Father Li felt as if he had drunk two taels, and his whole body was a little smug.Hearing the good news from the official messenger, he hurriedly took out two broken silver coins from his pocket and stuffed them into the hands of the two official servants.

"The two poor masters have worked hard, be careful not to dislike the two poor masters, buy a pot of wine and drink."

The two of them didn't refuse, they took the silver into their hands with their backs, and gave Li Lao a thousand-year-old slap, said a few auspicious words, and then left.

As soon as the officer left, the surrounding Li family villagers became excited, shouting for Father Li to buy wine.Brother Li remembered that the firecrackers that had been prepared at home had not been set off yet, so he turned around and asked Li Wenming and Li Wenqing to carry the firecrackers out, and lit a stick of incense around the gate of Li's house.

The sound of crackling firecrackers resounded through the sky, and the faces of Li's family lined with red confetti all over the floor were extraordinarily festive.The Shen family couple who were outside the crowd looked at Li Zian who was surrounded by everyone, feeling ashamed and regretful for a moment.Shen Wangshi recalled what she said in the main hall of Li's family that Li Zi'an was not good enough for her daughter, and wished she could slap herself twice.

Although the landlord Xu's family is also in good condition, but compared with Li Zi'an now, it is inferior by many times.The Xu family only has dozens of acres of land, but Bai Ding is just one.Li Zi'an is now a first-class scholar, no matter how hard he tries, it is not impossible to win someone.In their town, apart from the magistrate, it seems that there has never been a Juren.If Li Zian really passed the Juren exam, then she would be Juren's mother-in-law...

The difference between a Juren's mother-in-law and a landlord's mother-in-law is not even a little bit.Even though Shen Wangshi was thinking again, he hesitated for a moment and wanted to squeeze towards the crowd.Shen Wanmiao has shared the bed with Shen Wang for so many years, how can she not understand her thoughts.However, just now they have made an agreement on the matter of retiring their marriage, if they go back on their word at this time, they will lose all face.

Therefore, Shen Wanmiao hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab Shen Wangshi, and persuaded, "Mother, what are you doing? You must not be impulsive."

Shen Wangshi could not listen to Shen Wanmiao's persuasion at this time, she pulled Shen Wanmiao's hand away from her wrist, and walked towards Old Madam Li.

"Oh, congratulations to my in-laws, congratulations to my in-laws. Zi'an has the ability to pass the first-class scholar exam. Your mother-in-law is really lucky." Shen Wang said, holding Old Madam Li's hand with a compliment.

Hearing this, everyone looked at Mrs. Shen with disdain, and Mrs. Li sneered and pulled her hand out of the other's palm, and said, "It seems that our two families have agreed to divorce just now."

As soon as these words came out, Shen Wang's face couldn't help but froze, and then returned to normal, but the embarrassment in his eyes really couldn't be concealed. "Look at what you said, how can you take a joke seriously."

"A joke? Do you really think I'm old and confused? The IOU in my old man's arms is clearly written. You said that a joke is a joke?" Seeing Shen Wang's expression embarrassed, Mrs. Li sneered again and said "Your daughter is gentle and virtuous, and as beautiful as a fairy. My son Zi'an is only a first-class scholar, so naturally he dare not climb high."

Old Madam Li is usually upright, and she likes to take advantage of small things, but she is not a bitter person.Even for someone who is as generous as Mrs. Li, it's just a few words.At this moment, the people who have been neighbors in the village for decades can't understand that what Old Madam Li said came from Shen Wang's mouth.

It is very appropriate to use Shen Wangshi's words to block her own mouth.

"That's right, our village can't hold your daughter's big Buddha, so let's go back where it came from."

"In the past, a rich family wanted to divorce, but now seeing Zi'an turned over by a scholar, he wants to repent. I don't know why his face is so thick. My cattle feel ashamed."

"No, it's faster to turn your face than to turn a book. You don't know what you're planning. You really think everyone is a fool, and she, Shen Wang, is the only one who is smart."

Everyone's discussion made Shen Wanmiao's face turn red, he pushed away the crowd and dragged his wife out.Seeing this, Mrs. Li hurriedly stepped forward to catch up, and shouted, "As soon as possible, collect enough dowry and return it to our family. If it takes a long time, we will charge interest."

After the words were finished, Shen Wanmiao staggered, and then walked even more hastily.

……

After a lively and lively morning, Li Zian and the others sent away everyone in Li Family Village after the day for the treat was fixed.After the members of the Li family put incense on the ancestral tablet together, Father Li, who was still immersed in joy, waved his hand and ordered his two daughters-in-law to kill two chickens for the family.Turning his head to look at Li Zi'an with a blank face, Father Li sank the joy in his eyes, and let Mrs. Li and the three brothers from the Li family enter the main hall.

Li Zi'an still hadn't recovered from being hit by the words 'first-class scholar', and mechanically followed behind his two elder brothers, almost tripping over the threshold when he crossed the threshold.It was Erge Li who had quick eyesight and quick hands to support him, thus avoiding a tragedy.

After being tripped by this, Li Zian came to his senses, thanked his second brother, and sat down on the stool with the others.

"Father, what's the matter?" the eldest brother Li Zifeng couldn't help asking.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Father Li coughed, cleared his throat, and then said, "An'er told me earlier that if you fail the exam this time, you will give up your studies and go home to farm. Now God bless you , so that Zian won the first-class scholar. I just want to ask what plans Zian has in the future."

Li Zian didn't expect that the original body would say these words to his father, it can be seen how much pressure the previous failures put on him.Now he has won the prize of Xiucai, but this multiple-choice question fell on him again...

In Li Zi'an's eyes, giving up studies or continuing to study for scientific examinations is not a multiple-choice question at all, but a free proposition.

From his point of view, he must give up going home and farming, although he can't, but he can learn, no matter how bad it is, he can even start a small business.It is indeed difficult for him to continue studying, after all, he was born under the red flag and grew up in the spring breeze.What I receive is the new ideas and new education of the 21st century, not the traditional Four Books and Five Classics.Even though he has the memory of his original body, it is really embarrassing for his wife to ask him to read these obscure classical Chinese...

Seeing that Li Zian was silent, Father Li continued to express his opinion. "According to what I mean, since Zian has already read this point, let's try harder. If we win the Juren, our family will completely change its appearance."

Although Li Zi'an passed the examination as a first-class scholar, there is indeed a huge difference between a scholar and a Juren.The great preferential treatment for scholars is that they don't kneel when they see officials, and they don't get punished when they are tried.

But juren is different. If they win the juren, their family can be exempted from corvee and tax, and those who are lucky can even become officials.Isn't the reason why their family gritted their teeth and offered Li Zi'an just to change the family?Now that the opportunity is close at hand, even though the road to the imperial examination is difficult, Father Li still wants Li Zian to give it a try.

The old man said so, so the two brothers of the Li family naturally couldn't object.All three of them crawled out of the same mother's womb, if Li Zi'an was selected by Juren, he would naturally not forget to support them.If they miss, they won't suffer much.The imperial court gave four taels of silver and 72 dou of grain rice to the first-class scholar every year, and the whole family tightened their belts and did not lose much.

But this matter is still up to Li Zi'an's own choice, no matter how much they think about it, it's useless.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Li Zian couldn't help swallowing the words that came to his lips.There was a battle between heaven and man in my mind, and finally I raised the white flag to surrender.

Seeing Li Zi'an nodded in response, Father Li's heart dropped instantly.

Thinking about the divorce of the Shen family and his wife in the morning, Father Li finally asked, "The Shen family... If you really fell in love with the daughter of the Shen family, father also agrees. At worst, I will ask someone to ask. Now that you are in love with me?" After becoming a scholar, the Shen family's tone changed in the morning, and it seems that it is not impossible. It's just that the Shen family is not a kind master, and father still hopes that you can think clearly."

Seeing Father Li mentioning his marriage with Shen Linghua again, Li Zi'an immediately revived.His hands were swayed like propellers, not to mention the disgusted expression on his face.

"Father, what are you talking about. Good horses don't turn their backs. Don't say that their Shen family is not a kind person. Even if it is a benevolent family, I don't care about the rich family. And I have seen Shen Linghua before, isn't it?" A person who is easy to get along with. It is said that marrying a wife should marry a virtuous person. I marry a wife to be filial to my parents. If I make trouble for my parents because of such a person, I am really worse than an animal."

Li Zi'an's expression was affectionate and painful, and everyone in the room couldn't help being moved when he saw it, and there was a sense of relief from the heart that 'there is a boy in my family who is just growing up'.

Mrs. Li nodded and agreed, "Well, anyway, the master abbot of Da'an Temple said that you should be peach blossoms this year, and I don't worry that you won't be able to marry a wife. You'd better work hard to pass the exam and marry a good-looking girl to your mother." When the beautiful lady from the official family comes back, she will piss off that Shen Linghua!"

Hearing this, the corners of Li Zian's mouth twitched a few times.

His mother was really poisoned by watching too many dramas, and she really thought his son was a suave and charming heartthrob.Returning the official lady, the official son is almost...

Thinking of this, Li Zian couldn't help but think of the young man he met in Da'an Temple that day.I just felt that my heart was burning, and then I said, "Mother, let's go to Da'an Temple to fulfill our vows tomorrow."
