[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

Hearing that the emperor gave something to his son as a reward, Wang Gou'er was ecstatic. If he hadn't kept in mind that he couldn't embarrass his son outside, he would have jumped up and down and opened his mouth to bark.

But even though he tried his best to suppress it, the excited expression on his face was still hard to hide. Clerk Liu understood very well that if his son was so promising, his performance would not be much better than this farmer's.

So he prepared to leave with empathy, and Wang Yue hurriedly thanked him again, and then dragged his father away from the Yamen of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Leaving the gate of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, no one was leading them this time. Wang Gou'er and the clansmen of Wangjia Village who were in charge of sending them here did not dare to take the official road. Instead, they took a detour and walked to a small path on the street. Before Wang Gou'er recovered from the shock and joy, the tribe driving the carriage lifted the curtain and suggested to the father and son in the carriage: "Dog, do you think we should go buy some wine and vegetables so that we can go back and celebrate? The glory that our Wang family has never had before, no matter what, we have to hold a banquet and invite all the clansmen and the Lizhengs from the nearby villages!"

His words immediately reminded Wang Gou'er, how could his son's glory not find someone to celebrate, he hurriedly echoed: "It should be prepared! It should be prepared! Fortunately, you reminded me, otherwise I would not be happy if I was happy." Thinking of this, it just so happened that I brought money with me this time, so I hurried to book a few tables in the restaurant."

Seeing this, Wang Yue quickly grabbed his father and persuaded him: "Father, why do we need to order wine and food in a restaurant? The food in a restaurant is expensive, and it may not be as delicious as the chefs in our family. You forgot , Grandpa Thirteen said when he came here that he was going to prepare a big table, if you dare to order food and drinks from a restaurant, he will definitely beat you with a cane!"

Hearing the name of the thirteenth grandfather, Wang Gou'er and the Wang family member who proposed to order food and drinks in the restaurant subconsciously shrank their necks, but soon Wang Gou'er felt that he could not lose face in front of his son, so he did With a look of righteousness, he said: "Ban'er is right. What are the delicious food in the restaurant? The expensive ones are deadly, and the portions are not enough. Don't we farmers just want to eat enough? Thirteenth Uncle’s craftsmanship is not bad, and the portion is enough. Everyone in our village likes it. I think I can buy some meat and vegetables and go home. It’s enough to ask Thirteenth Uncle to help cook a big table.”

Wang Yue nodded quickly, this banquet must be held, there is no escape, but the price of buying a table by yourself is not the same as ordering a table from a restaurant, and ordering a table from a restaurant is enough for three or four meals in the countryside Wang Yue didn't want his family to spend such an unreasonable amount of money, not to mention that if his father dared to do such a thing, his mother would definitely complain to his father in private, even if his mother didn't say anything.

After losing the excitement of ordering a banquet, Wang Gou'er and the clansmen driving outside finally calmed down a lot, and began to think about who to invite to the banquet.

The clansmen in the village are naturally indispensable. The big households in the neighboring villages who have a good relationship with their village are also invited, and those who have a bad relationship with their village are invited. The son’s teachers and classmates must also be invited. The relatives of Jia and Wang's family must also send invitations. As for whether they will come or not, it is not certain, but this face still has to be sent.

After such a faction, at least fifteen or six tables are needed to sit down. The son was summoned by the cabinet and the village said it was to celebrate, but he didn’t expect to make a big deal. He only planned to invite people from the village, and there were only five or six tables at most. Enough.

The patriarch is the most thoughtful, and must have prepared everything needed for these five or six tables.

Then they need to fill up the rest, and also buy some melon seeds, snacks and tea, and they can’t buy the ones that their farmers usually eat. This time there are distinguished guests, and the emperor rewarded the whole family with such honor For the big event, it can’t be shabby, you must prepare some high-quality ones, which is a lot of money.

In addition, there are too many people, and the tables, chairs, benches, and useful dishes and chopsticks need to be prepared. Uncle Shisan may not be enough, so he needs to borrow from the neighboring village. .

After calculating the amount, Wang Gou'er subconsciously felt a pain in his heart, 60 taels of silver, based on previous years' expenses, is probably enough for their family to chew for three years, plus the reward silver prepared for Ban'er today, it adds up There are almost 100 taels of silver, this... this is too much!

"Dog, why does it cost so much, why don't we reduce it?"

The clansman also began to feel distressed. This is 100 taels of silver, which is enough for their farmers to eat for a few years, and some more can build a big house. The money is used to treat guests. In their opinion, it is really Some are too extravagant!

At first he was envious of the Gou'er family, thinking about whether to send his son to study and become an official, but now it seems that he should think about it again, after all, the cost is too high, and not everyone has a family like the Gou'er family. Rich relatives!

Wang Gou'er was slightly shaken, and Wang Yue also hurriedly said: "Father, why don't you just reduce it as Uncle Sixteen said, look, those dim sum tea leaves..."

Before Wang Yue finished speaking, Wang Gouer interrupted him directly: "This can't be reduced, 100 taels is 100 taels, so why can't our family afford this money? You have earned our Wang family great face , this banquet is also your face, you can't let you lose face in front of others! What's more, the capital of our royal family has been in the capital for at least a hundred years, and we have never produced someone as promising as you. What's the matter with spending 100 taels? 100 taels, even if it costs 500 taels, our family will pay for it!"

"Yes! Ban'er, your father is right, this money must not be saved! You can't embarrass you, don't worry, this money family also has to share a share, you can't just let your family pay, this is the glory of the whole family! "

This is true, even if it comes to the patriarchs and elders, they will definitely do something big, and they will definitely be the big ones, this is the glory of the whole clan.

Another thing, this is also an opportunity to show off the strength of the royal family to the outside world. Since the death of his grandfather, there are no officials in the clan, so the taxes and errands are inevitably a bit strict.

Even though the patriarch was out and about, the members of the Wang family were united as one to prevent outsiders from taking advantage of it.But without the backing of the official face, there is always a guilty conscience, and this waist will not be hardened.

Neighboring villages often take advantage of their Wangjiacun. This time, they should invite Lizheng over to see if they still have the guts to bully Wangjiacun!

Thinking about it this way, the money was worth the money, so Wang Gou'er discussed with his family brother about the banquet.

Sitting aside, Wang Yue really couldn't speak, but she was very moved in her heart.

In his previous life, he was also envious of those classmates. On their birthdays, someone would always hold a banquet for them, which he never expected.

He is not short of money, if he wants to hold a banquet, he can go to the best and most expensive hotel, and there are countless people who want to come to his banquet to celebrate for him, but that is not what he wants.

He just wants his parents and family to get together for him, celebrate his birthday happily, and be happy for his performance.

But it's hard.

His mother is of course concerned about him, but mother has her own business, and after all, his mother still has pimples about what his father did back then, so whether he can show up or not, so his mother is willing to give him money instead of appearing in person Celebrate him.

His father has Yingying and Yanyan outside to take care of, so where does he have the energy to take care of an obedient son, just stuff money for things.

As for the grandfather, the old man is getting old, his energy is always a little low, and he prefers to be quiet, so it is inevitable that he can't take care of the playful thoughts of the young.

What's more, in his grandfather's opinion, holding a banquet for the so-called birthday is a bit extravagant, and he is too fond of children. With his father's lessons learned, how can his grandfather allow him to indulge in fun before he is too strict with him?

But this life is different. His father and his mother dote on him, no, they dote on him. He can speak. The family wants to celebrate. He can write. The family wants to celebrate. Celebrate, not to mention today's great event, it should be celebrated!

This is an experience he has never had before. Maybe in his last life he was not short of money or power. He can buy whatever he wants, without worrying about the lack of money at home, without worrying about family expenses at a young age, and without being cautious. Worried about offending others, but he has no one to rely on, and no one is willing to indulge him. He can do whatever he wants, as long as he is happy.

He may be very hard in this life, but he is willing.

The author has something to say: I read a book recently and I recommend it. It's called The Lord of the Oasis. I like the character of the male protagonist very much. It's dark and calm. He never hesitates when it's time to act.I read more than 100 chapters, and there are two female characters who have no names yet. The first one is a spy, pretending to be hunted down and trying to kill the male protagonist. According to the general routine, the male protagonist will usually see through the tricks, but He planned to keep the female lead by his side, and love for a long time, but the male lead in this article did not follow the usual path.
