Chapter 88 Uncle(1/2)

   Let’s talk about the future. What to do about the trouble in front of him? It seems that he can’t escape, and the small officials headed by the lean man crowded in front of him again with sullen faces.

 I will not scold you, let alone hit you. I will laugh hard and beg you. I will hold the post and beg for signature and seal. I even borrowed pen and ink temporarily and prepared it for you in advance.

What can Yu Qing do?

 Before, it was possible to say that there was something wrong with suspicion and that one could cheat. Now it is clear that some things will not allow you to mess around endlessly. No one can indulge in excess.

 The problem we are facing now is not whether to accept the post or not, but a series of things that will happen next.

 After accepting it, you can still have a chance to breathe.

 If you don’t accept it, continue to resist, you will have to face some things today.

Which one to choose?

It is not difficult for people who really want to escape to make a choice. Yu Qing decisively stretched out his hand to sign, then took the post and asked, "Can you get out of the way now?"

 The relieved, lean man immediately waved his hands to the left and right, "Get out of the way, get out of the way, quickly."

 A group of petty officials immediately made way for them. After Rong Yuqing left, they all shook their heads and sighed, realizing that this man was really arrogant.

 The lean man waved for everyone to follow him.

 Such a commotion made people who read the public notices confused and didn't know what was going on.

 Similarly, Zhan Muchun and others who were looking at other candidates' papers not far away also noticed something unusual.

Pan Wenqing laughed and pointed, "Isn't that Brother Shiheng?"

A few people took a closer look and found that it was indeed Ashheng who walked out from a group of petty officials.

“Let’s go and congratulate you.” Zhan Muchun gave his opinion and was the first one to walk over quickly, and the others immediately followed.

However, they didn't get the chance to say hello to Yu Qing. Yu Qing got into the carriage and left, throwing the note in his hand directly to Du Fei, who was following the car.

Du Fei was shocked. This thing was so hot that no matter how many people wanted to ask for it, they couldn't get it.

 The carriage drove away in a hurry.

The lean man who led everyone to follow waved his hand again and said: "Why are you still standing there? Get on your horse and follow!"

 One of the clerks was suspicious, "Our work is over, why do we still want to see his stinky face?"

The lean man immediately kicked him on the butt, "Are you stupid? We chased him out of the Zhong Mansion. With his current momentum, if something happens on the road, we will lose our jobs because of them."

. Send him back to Zhong Mansion, and what happens after that will have nothing to do with us."

 “Oh oh oh.”

 A group of people reacted immediately, quickly untied their reins, climbed on their mounts, and chased after him.

Zhan Muchun and others, who came one step later, could only stay and watch.

Su Yingtao sighed, "The pomp of Full Score Huiyuan is just different. If you go out and walk around, there are already so many government officials protecting you."

Who says it’s not the case? Several people looked envious...

Sent Yu Qing back to the Zhong Mansion, he watched Yu Qing enter the gate of the Zhong Mansion, and a group of petty officials lingered at the door for a while.

  It was a lot of going back and forth, and I didn't get any benefits. I was a little unwilling. However, it was difficult to go to the door again. The door of Zhong Mansion was not that easy to enter, and the concierge would not take them seriously.

Having no choice but to give up, I can only curse my bad luck secretly.

A group of people had just ridden out of the alley and had not gone far on the street when someone suddenly shouted: "Masters, please wait a moment."

A few people looked back and found that it was the housekeeper of the Zhong Mansion who was leading two people to chase him. Seemingly they were up to something good, they immediately dismounted their horses to accompany Smiley Face.

As expected, Butler Li took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and handed out one to each person, "Thank you for your hard work. This is a little thought from Mr. Zhong. I hope you don't dislike it."

The denomination of the bank note was one hundred taels. A group of petty officials suddenly had their eyes lit up. They could not get so much salary all year round. This was really a huge amount of money.

The Zhong family’s wedding money was really generous this time. Firstly, it was a huge happy event, and secondly, Yu Qing ran out and messed around with the people in the Lizhou Guild Hall.

 “Thank you, Yuanwai, and thank you, Butler Li.”

 A group of people were overjoyed and thanked each other profusely. They all felt that the trip was worthwhile and all dissatisfaction disappeared.

Butler Li asked with a smile: "I haven't finished what I said before. I wonder what regulations my young master and the guild hall still need to fulfill?"

The lean man: "It should be gone, otherwise we will send a message. I will help you find out when I get back. If there is anything, I will go back and let you know immediately. Besides, Mr. Grandpa is not going to the club these days.

Well, if you have something, you can take care of it."

Afterwards, both parties exchanged polite greetings and returned home satisfied.

In the main hall of the Zhong Mansion, there is a round table in the middle. The wood is dark red and shiny. Wen Jianhui sits in front of it, admiring it with a post in his hand. His two daughters stand behind him, one on the left and the other on the right.

  Du Fei brought the post back. Not long after it was in Mr. Zhong’s hands, his wife took it to read.

"Tsk tsk, look at the bright red big seal. This is the big seal stamped by the Ministry of Rites. These six seals stamped by the Ministry of Rites for private individuals are just different. They all look grand. How can ordinary people have such a thing? Most people probably spend their whole lives with it.

You can't even see it." Wen Jianhui pointed at the post and turned it over and over to admire it, talking non-stop.

Zhong Zhong, who was talking to Du Fei, felt his tooth hurt. He turned around and stretched out his hand: "Bring it here."

Wen Jianhui: "Oh, you haven't seen it before. Let me see it more. Don't worry, I will take good care of it."

Do you keep it? Mr. Zhong's eyes widened a bit. He wanted you to just take a look, but now he immediately became unhappy. He took a few steps over, pulled him back, and scolded him, "What are you thinking about?"

It’s not something you take out and chat with a bunch of women who have had enough to eat and have nothing to do.”

Wen Jianhui immediately stood up and retorted, "Which of your ears heard me saying that I was going to take it out?"

How could Mr. Zhong not know the virtues of these women? He didn't bother to talk to her, so he turned around and greeted Du Fei and left, going to the east courtyard to see Yu Qing.

Wen Jianhui was furious, but today the anger came and went quickly. She walked out of the main hall in a flash of her mind, stood under the eaves and waved, calling a group of nearby servants over.

With just one sentence, a group of servants were silenced, "Have you all heard about my uncle passing the Huiyuan examination?"

 “Uncle?”

A group of servants looked at each other, and one of them asked: "Madam, is the uncle you are talking about the young master from the east courtyard?"

Wen Jianhui: "Who else could it be? How many Huiyuan can you get from one subject? How could he live in the east courtyard of our house for so long if he wasn't our uncle? He and Ruochen have been engaged since they were young.

Returning to Beijing to take the exam this time is just one of them, getting married to Ruochen after the exam is the most important thing."

 In the hall, Zhong Ruochen's face suddenly turned red. Unexpectedly, his mother suddenly made the matter public as soon as she remembered it.

Wen Ruowei snickered in her ear, "Sister, look at our mother, she can't help but start showing off again. Her old sisters probably won't be able to hide from her."

Someone outside the hall exclaimed, "It turns out that the young master who passed the Huiyuan Examination with full marks is our uncle from the Zhong Mansion!"

Wen Jianhui's face was full of brilliance and pride, and she hummed: "What do you think? You think I don't know that you guys are gossiping behind my back, saying why the eldest lady is not married at such an old age, and doubting the eldest lady's

There is something wrong with your health. Let me tell you, you are all villains. Can the daughter of the Zhong family be married to anyone? You can count the sons-in-law of the Zhong family all over the world. How many of you can compare with them?

Worthy."

 “Wow, it turns out that the young master is my uncle!”

 A group of servants were all talking about it, and they were all a little excited.

Wen Jianhui waited until they had finished talking, and then said: "Mama Liu, go back and take the tailor to the east courtyard to measure the size of my uncle's clothes. In a few days, my uncle will enter the palace to take the imperial examination, and that will be an interview.

When you see His Majesty, you can't dress in a disgraceful way. You must hurry up and get a new set of clothes for your uncle.

 The materials must be the best, and the money cannot be saved.

  Well, forget it, you are too sloppy in your work. When the tailor comes, let me know and I will have to go and keep an eye on it myself.

Also, Zhang Ma, go back and bring a few neat things over, and thoroughly clean the east courtyard inside and out.

My uncle is now an official. After the exam, if some classmates or some colleagues come here in the future, what will happen if the place where my uncle lives is dirty? Is it me, the mistress of the Zhong Mansion?

We need to run the family well, or is it that our Zhongfu has abused my uncle? From now on, when my uncle walks in public, we have to help him take care of his face.

Also, Lao Qi, starting from today, my uncle must be careful about his diet. In a few days, he will take the exam for the first prize, and he will go to the palace to see His Majesty. This is a huge event, and it is not something that ordinary people can encounter.

It’s such a big deal, what if my uncle’s stomach is broken by the food? We must use the freshest ingredients and ingredients.

Oh, forget it, you are people who can be lazy if you can. I really don’t trust you to leave this matter to you. Later I will discuss it with the master and let the uncle have dinner with us. Anyway, he is not an outsider. He will be there soon.

We are a family. With me watching with my own eyes, I can rest assured, otherwise if something happens, the master will accuse me of not running the family well."

Are you going to eat at the same table with Ashheng soon? Zhong Ruochen in the hall felt his heart beat faster just thinking about it.

Wen Ruowei also smiled in her ear, "Sister, we're going to see you soon, are you nervous?"

After having a good talk outside and sending the servants away, Wen Jianhui went back to the house and took a sip of tea to quench her thirst. Then she sat there and looked at her shy daughter, jokingly saying: "I don't blame dad now."

Mom is not worried about your marriage, is she?"

Zhong Ruochen couldn't bear the teasing and denied it with a blushing face, "I'm not in a hurry."

“Oh, forget it, my mother also came from being a girl.

 In short, now you know how kind your parents are to you, and how long-term your parents are, right?

You can't find such a husband even if you hold a lantern. A wife with a perfect score may be the wife of the number one scholar. How many women in the world are there with such a blessing? Girl, you are lucky. If you marry, you will be the wife of an official. It is destined.

If you have this blessing, you will be envied by all the women in the world.

It's just a matter of where you live after you get married. If you continue to live in the east courtyard, I'm afraid that my uncle's face will not look good and he will act like a wife. In the future, he will also be a person who walks around in the scene, and he also wants to keep face, so that no one can gossip.
To be continued...
