Three hundred and ninetieth chapters go home together
Yang Yun, who was packing his clothes, suddenly turned around, looked up at the eldest child with a childish face, and asked curiously, "Mom, didn't we just go to my grandmother's house after we agreed last time? It's so early now? Are you still in such a hurry?"
Dawa looked at his son's puzzled face, stepped forward and touched his head, and said gently, "Because your uncle is in the capital and won't be able to come back for a while, we have to go back to help."
Yang Yun nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Oh! Mother, did uncle really win the top prize?"
Da Wa looked at the distant horizon and said with a smile, "The news from the governor is definitely true. We will know it when we return to grandma's house."
"Mom, isn't it prestigious to win the top prize?"
The eldest child thought for a moment and imagined, "Well! My mother once heard from her uncle that if she wins the first prize, she can ride a horse around the capital. The grand scene will be very majestic."
Da Wa has never been to the capital and has seen the number one scholar parade in the streets, so she can only imagine.
However, she had seen people who passed the provincial examinations, and she took it for granted that the officials would beat gongs and drums to announce the good news to those who won the provincial examination. The number one scholar was much more powerful than the candidates who were elected, so she guessed that the scene of winning the number one scholar would definitely be more lively and grand than the event of winning the exam.
After a pause, the eldest son continued, "My mother also heard that the number one scholar is not only prestigious, but the mother of the number one scholar will also be granted the title of Madam Imperial Majesty by the court! That is an honor that no one else can only dream of."
When the eldest son said this, his eyes kept flashing and his words were filled with wonder. At the same time, he was also envious that he could have such a good brother.
I don’t know how many people would envy the identity of the No. 1 Scholar’s sister.
The imperial conferment given to the mother of the number one scholar by the Daqian imperial court was merely an honor and a reward of some money. The conferred wife had no real power.
But even if there is no real power, it is a good thing that many people can't even dream of.
Perhaps it was because of the twinkling eyes of the eldest child that Yang Yun had a whimsical idea. He looked at the eldest child and said word by word, "Mom, Yun'er will also win the first prize in the future, so that the court can also grant a title to her mother."
A royal lady."
The eldest child was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something, and tears began to well up in his eyes.
Her brother once said this once upon a time. She still remembers that when we were eating in the kitchen, her mother mentioned that Mr. Zhao from the village came back from the county in a carriage.
Ling Yun said that the man was so majestic and he would let the Ling family ride in the carriage in the future.
At that time, they could only eat, and even having enough to eat was a problem. As for riding in a carriage, they didn't dare to think about it. Who would have thought... Today, they really have a carriage to travel.
"Sister, from now on, my brother will sell you a big yard, so that the Ling family will have enough food and clothing to live in a big yard..."
The memory came over me, making the big boy choked with tears.
Looking at the big baby with tears in his eyes, Yang Yun felt a sudden pain in his heart and said without knowing why, "Mom... what's wrong with you?"
The eldest child smiled through her tears and gently touched Yang Yun's face, as if she had seen Ling Yun's childhood.
They say that a nephew follows his uncle, and this is true. Yang Yun's face is at least 67% similar to Ling Yun's.
The eldest child was filled with melancholy and emotion. Facing her son's concern, she was filled with a satisfied smile.
"Mom is fine. Mom misses my uncle, your aunt and the others."
Yang Yun reached out and gently wiped the tears flowing from the eldest child's eyes, and whispered softly, "Oh! Mother, don't cry. Uncle said that if you cry too much, your face will be stained, which will not look good."
"Yeah! Mom, don't cry. Let's pack our things quickly and leave in a while."
As soon as the three days of free banquets at Chunmanlou were over, Dawa and his family rushed to Lingshan County.
They returned directly to Lingshan without passing through Anzhou.
Today's Lingshan County is still the same as before. Although it is not as lively as the big city, the hawking of street vendors is still the same.
In a store called Ling's Department Store in Lingshan County, people are constantly buying things. It can be seen that the business of this store is second to none in Lingshan County.
At this time, a figure ran in, looked at the woman working in the store, and said breathlessly, "Jingyu, the eldest sister is back."
When the woman heard this, she stood up suddenly and exclaimed, "What? Where is it?"
The man pointed to the door and replied, "Just outside the door."
"I'll come right away."
So, the woman couldn't wait to run to the door. At this time, a carriage was parked outside the door, and Dawa's family was standing in front of the carriage, looking at them with smiles.
"Sister~"
"Er baby~"
As soon as the two met, they hugged each other.
The relatives were overjoyed to meet each other. After hugging each other, Erwa suddenly said with some doubts, "Sister, didn't you agree that Ji Yuecai would come back?"
"Originally, I planned to come back after Ji Yue, but news came from the governor that my brother won the first prize, so I rushed back without stopping."
When Erwa and Gu Zhenghao heard this, they were shocked and exclaimed in unison, "What?"
Seeing their shocked expressions, the eldest child couldn't help frowning, thinking that the speed of reporting to the imperial court would definitely not be slower than the speed of their return home. Why did they all arrive in Lingshan County, while the second eldest son and his wife both looked puzzled.
?
"Erwa, didn't you receive the message?"
Erwa shook his head and said, "No, sister, is this news wrong?"
Da Wa frowned and whispered, "Impossible! This news cannot be wrong..."
Seeing this, the second baby didn't know the cause of the matter, but he thought that the eldest baby would not be wrong, so he comforted him, "Sister, don't worry, maybe the news hasn't arrived yet, we are waiting patiently, maybe for a day or two.
, the newspaper announcing the good news has arrived."
Da Wa felt that what Da Wa said was reasonable, and she became convinced inexplicably, and said without thinking, "Yes, there must be a delay on the way to the official report, otherwise it will definitely be earlier than us."
If you want to report good news from the imperial court, when you arrive at Annan, you must first arrive at Annan Prefecture, wait for a while from Annan Prefecture, and then pass by Anzhou Prefecture.
When Dawa and the others returned to Lingshan County, they did not pass through Anzhou Prefecture, so the distance was half the distance. Furthermore, in order to return quickly, Dawa and the others spent very little time on the road.
This resulted in them arriving at Lingshan, but the imperial newspaper was still on the way.
The second baby saw the tiredness on the faces of the three people in the eldest baby's family, so he suggested, "Sister, it's been a long journey, so let's go and rest for a while. As for my brother's winning the top prize, I'll ask Zhenghao to find out the news later."
Da Wa glanced at Yang Yun and found that he was dozing off. He felt a little distressed. After all, it was so hard to run all the way.
"That's fine!"
As soon as Dawa arrived in Lingshan County, the imperial newspaper arrived at the county government office. In the county government room, Zhang Debao was holding the newspaper from Anzhou Prefecture in his hands. When his eyes stayed on the content of the newspaper, his hands stopped.
Trembling constantly.
He murmured to himself, "Number one scholar, third overall winner..."
I don't know how many times I said this sentence. The man who delivered the letter below had knee pain from kneeling on the ground for a long time. However, Li Debao seemed to have forgotten his existence and just muttered to himself.
Suddenly, Li Debao burst out laughing, his voice not concealed at all. The people in the county government did not know what was going on, and looked at Li Debao's office room anxiously, wondering what happened there to make their county magistrate act like this.
Developed unscrupulously?
The messenger cautiously asked, "Sir...sir, are you okay?"
After this shout, Li Debao came back to his senses and found that he was a little excited. He paused and couldn't stop the smile on his face. He said cheerfully, "Hahaha... Okay, that's great. This letter
This is the best news I have received in these years."
In the same palace examination in Lingshan County, two people in a row won the first grade. He will definitely not escape the first grade in this year's assessment. This also means that he, Li Debao, only needs to stay in the first half of the year and will be promoted in the spring of next year.
Such achievements were enough to advance him to another level. How could this not make him excited?
The person who reported the letter was relieved when he heard Li Debao's words. He had just thought that their Li Debao was crazy, but it turned out that the content of the letter made him involuntarily excited.
"Sir, what good news is in the letter?"
"Haha, to tell you the truth, what is written in this letter is that it is a major event in our Lingshan County. In this year's imperial examination, our Lingshan County's talents actually won the top prize and the top prize in succession, hahaha..."
"You tell me to go down and let everyone prepare. Prepare the gifts issued by the imperial court. At the same time, buy some more and divide them into two parts."
"Yes, sir."
In fact, there were not many rewards from the imperial court, but the rewards from Annan Prefecture and Anzhou Prefecture were large. The rewards from the two mansions alone could not fit in two carriages, so even if Li Debao didn't buy it, the rewards above were enough.
In Erwa's yard, Gu Zhenghao was walking in a hurry, with an ecstatic expression on his face, as if he had heard some good news. As soon as he entered the living room, he couldn't help but look at everyone in the living room and trembled, "Jingyu, eldest sister
…I asked about it, I heard about it.”
Perhaps out of nervousness or excitement, Gu Zhenghao swallowed his saliva and said impatiently, "There is news from the county government that the imperial court has just arrived. In this year's imperial examination in Lingshan County, two candidates won the first grade in a row.
They are the number one scholar and the third overall pick, and the number one scholar is our younger brother."
"real?"
Gu Zhenghao said with conviction, "It's absolutely true."
Dawa's eyes wandered, he stood up suddenly, looked at everyone and urged, "In that case, let's go back quickly, the county government is starting to announce the good news, we have to get ahead of them, otherwise we are afraid that our parents will be too busy.
"
After everyone thought about it, they felt that Da Wa was right, and they all agreed, "Yes, yes, yes, let's leave quickly..."
