The daily routine of the ancient imperial examination

After sending off the official errand who announced the good news, the news that Lu Xiucai of Jinshan Village had been elected swept the entire Ping'an Town like a gust of wind.

The Juren, that's amazing!

This is the only Juren master in Ping'an Town!The first one has already known the age of Destiny, how exciting it is.

The newly appointed county magistrate was donated with money. He knew very well that he had no great ability, but this did not prevent him from worshiping scholars.

After seeing the government's happy announcement document, it was convenient to start preparing gifts, and before the next day, he went to Lu Xiuyuan's house in Jinshan Village to congratulate him in person.

While on the road, I found that the village was remote and the roads were rough, and in the end, with a wave of my hand, I directly allocated money to repair the road for free!

The county magistrate personally visited the door to congratulate him, and the road was repaired free of charge, which made Jinshan Village at the foot of the mountain famous all of a sudden.

Before, the heat in the town was that Yan Ruyu had published a new book, but now the whole town is discussing what this Juren is like.

Those in the town who had met Lu Xiuyuan before all stood up and praised him in different ways.

Hearing various deeds of Lu Xiuyuan, this made those who are obsessed with story books think of the ten-year-old talented Jinshi who swept the town some time ago!

Lu Xiuyuan's winning move gave them hope again.

This is a living example around me!

Although there is a gap in age, it also shows that the poor can still stand up, and for a while, those scholars rekindled their passion for learning.

Under the various spontaneous recommendations of scholars, the book Ten-year-old Genius Little Scholars became popular again.

Now almost every scholar in the town has a copy. When you are tired from reading, you can look at the genius little Jinshi, absorb the positive energy in the book, and then continue to study without getting tired.

In addition to the madness of these scholars, all the matchmakers in the town were also dispatched.

Such a young Master Juren, what are you still hesitating about?This is the best husband-in-law candidate!

Immediately, a swarm of bees rushed to Jinshan Village, and those queuing up wanted to help lead the red line.

These days, the threshold of Lu Xiuyuan's family is about to be leveled.

Mrs. Zhang listened to the excellent girls that the matchmakers talked about. If it wasn't for the engagement with the Shi family, she would have been moved.

After inviting the matchmakers to drink good tea and stuffing some wedding money, Mrs. Zhang told the news about her engagement, and asked them to tell her colleagues that Lu Xiuyuan was already engaged.

The matchmakers didn't believe what they heard, so they took out their earwax and asked Mrs. Zhang to confirm.

Finally, after seeing the engagement letter, those people gave up their hearts, but after noticing that the above engagement object was Shi Yunchen from the Shi family, it was surprising.

Unexpectedly, the real identity of the third young master of the Shi family is brother, and he had been concealing his identity before, but it turned out to be a young man.

Those matchmakers here were served by Mrs. Zhang with delicious food and drinks, and took money, and they naturally talked better when they returned to the town.

So the talk in the town after meals became that the young master of the Shi family was not the young master, but the young gentleman, and how the two matched so well.

Not to mention the ladies in the town who sighed one step too late, and those little hooligans who were beaten by Shi Yunchen before, they were all dumbfounded when they heard the news of the engagement.

Thinking of the viciousness of the young master, the gangsters didn't know whether to sympathize with or envy this young Lu Juren.

Some are happy and some are sad.

After these several news shocks in the town, everyone is not bored in their spare time, and they can chat for a long time by picking up gossip.

But this kind of thing is just a matter of talk for ordinary people who have nothing to do with it, and it is quite painful for some people who have a little relationship and then let go of it.

It was Lu Dagui.

Originally, he wanted to quit his position as the shopkeeper of several small shops, and then go out with the eldest brother of the Shi family to run a business and buy goods to make a lot of money, but he has been struggling with no way to recommend himself.

Later, when he found out that Lu Xiuyuan had a very close relationship with Shi's family, he decided to ask the other party for help. As a result, instead of helping out, his son accused him of hypocrisy and snobbery.

This made Lu Dagui very annoyed, and in the end he simply asked his own mother to go home and find his compatriot brother Lu Dafu to put pressure on him.

He didn't expect to let him know that the two families had broken off their relationship.

The matter has come to this point, no matter how much he yells at him, he can't get it back. Looking at his elderly mother, he can't beat her up, so he can only find another way by himself.

It turned out to be unlucky in the past. The news that he had been secretly withdrawing funds from the store to lend/loan by himself was exposed, and he was directly kicked out of the store. Now he is relying on his previous savings to barely survive in a grocery store.

From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.

How could the middle-aged Lu Dagui, who was used to living a rich life, want to return to his former poor life.

Now that he heard the news about Lu Xiuyuan being promoted again, he thought of his son who had failed to live up to expectations, he was holding a breath in his chest, he couldn't get up or down, he was depressed all day long.

Unexpectedly, when he later found out that the third young master of the Shi family was Xiao Langjun and hooked up with Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Dagui spit out a mouthful of blood.

Why!How could his idiot brother give birth to such a son!

Not only is he good at reading, but he can also climb high branches!She actually hugged Shi's thigh early on!

Jealousy made him unrecognizable.

When it was time for dinner, Lu Dagui tried his best to calm down and asked his son to call the old lady to the table for dinner.

He is an old fritter in the mall, he can bend and stretch, isn't he just praising his nephew, what's the matter, he has long since ignored face.

But before that, it is still necessary to restore the relationship between the two.

"Mother, sit down! Today I asked your daughter-in-law to cook your favorite braised pork, and you need to eat more later."

The old lady was tremblingly supported by her grandson to the dining table, seeing her eldest son's expression, she couldn't help shivering.

"Dear expensive, you are..."

Why was he suddenly so kind to her? It made it hard for her not to wonder if there was something wrong with the meat, or something else.

Lu Dagui saw the old lady's ugly face, how could he not know what the other person was thinking, but his eyes flickered, and he didn't explain, but went over to help the old lady sit down.

"Mom, come and eat meat."

He picked up a piece of oily braised pork with chopsticks and delivered it to the old lady's bowl.

Seeing the meat in the bowl, the old lady's expression became even worse.

Thinking of her son's indifference after he found out about the divorce, and Lu Dagui being kicked out of Shi's house after Dongchuang's incident, the other party's face had been stinking all this time, but now he suddenly changed his face, which made her feel uneasy.

"Dagui, mother is not very hungry, you can eat this meat later."

Hearing this, Lu Dagui made a troubled look, "The braised pork is rich in oil, and it won't taste good when it gets cold. Mother should eat it while it's hot so as not to waste your daughter-in-law's heart."

The more Lu Dagui urged, the more afraid the old lady was to eat.

Seeing that people were almost scared, Lu Dagui snorted coldly in his heart, and then began to make his own request.

"Mother, wait until you go back to the village tomorrow. After all, they are all blood relatives. It's not good to make such a mess, don't you think?"

The old lady understood what the other party meant, and kept nodding her head: "Mother knows, mother will go back to the village to find Lu Dafu tomorrow."

Hearing that the old lady was very cooperative, Lu Dagui smiled, and pushed the bowl in front of the other party forward.

"Having said so much, the food is going to be cold, mother should hurry up and eat it while it's hot."

The old lady didn't expect that she had promised to go to the village the next day, why Dagui would let herself eat this piece of meat, she had no choice but to cast her eyes on the grandson next to her for help.

Lu Ming noticed that the two of them were abnormal, and he didn't want to talk to each other at first, but when he noticed the helpless expression of his grandmother, he couldn't help but clenched the chopsticks in his hand.

"Grandma doesn't eat if she doesn't want to eat, so why do you do this?"

Being refuted by his son, Lu Dagui's face was not very good-looking: "We adults are talking, why do you children interrupt?"

Seeing that his father wanted to force his grandmother, he frowned: "Grandma, I just want to eat meat, let my grandson eat it for you."

As he spoke, he picked up the braised pork in the bowl with his chopsticks.

Seeing this, the old lady was almost frightened: "Mingming, don't eat it!"

But it was too late, the meat had already been swallowed.

After waiting for a while, the old lady couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Lu Ming was still safe and sound.

Lu Dagui twitched the corner of his mouth at the old lady: "Mom, what's your reaction? Do you suspect that I will poison the flesh?"

"how could be."

The old lady smiled awkwardly, scratching around under the table helplessly.

Seeing the scene where home is not like home and relatives are not like relatives, Lu Ming lost his appetite completely.

"I'm full! I still have something to do in the yamen tonight, so I won't be back tonight."

After speaking, he pushed the chair away and left the space that suffocated him.

Early the next morning, despite the embarrassment on her face, for the sake of her eldest son Lu Dagui and the future of the family, the old lady came to Jinshan Village early to go to find her younger son Lu Dafu.

In the village in the early morning, everyone is basically busy doing farm work in the fields, and a bunch of people gather in the fields at the entrance of the village.

As soon as the old lady arrived here in a bullock cart, she was discovered by the villagers in the field. Everyone speculated what the big expensive mother was doing after she hadn't seen her for so long.

What's more, he quickly poked Mrs. Zhang who was busy weeding next to him.

"Old Lu's, your mother-in-law from the town is here."

Only then did Mrs. Zhang look up and see the old lady, and she frowned imperceptibly. Although she didn't know what she was doing here, she couldn't lose her manners in front of so many people.

"Mother, are you here? Have you eaten yet?"

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't even look at Mrs. Zhang, and walked towards the village aggressively on crutches.

Seeing this scene, the people in the village were quite embarrassed. The person who poked Zhang just now comforted her: "Old people's ears are not good, so I probably didn't hear it."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Zhang twitched the corners of her mouth, and she picked up the hoe and followed home.

The relationship is broken, and now she is running to the village again. The old lady is probably up to something. Lu Dafu and her pregnant daughter-in-law are at home, so she is not at ease.

Seeing the backs of the two and smelling the gossip, the villagers put down their hoes and followed Mrs. Zhang to see the excitement.

There are still a lot of people working hard in the field, and seeing them like this, they couldn't help persuading them: "It's important to do the field work first, and it's the same if I ask Dawu his mother tomorrow."

"The grass in the field is not in a hurry, just a while will not delay the matter."
