At first, Su Yuewei could comfort herself because Mr. Announcer had to travel across the county and would not arrive so soon. She could just wait a little longer.
By the afternoon of September 2, there was still no news.
Su Yuewei couldn't sit still. She couldn't help but ask Zhang Xinghua, "Do you think they haven't found our house? Why haven't they come to our house yet?"
Has it been a day?
Zhang Xinghua was also in a state of confusion, yes. Why didn't she come? She had been waiting for so long. No matter how late she was, she should have come today.
Suddenly she seemed to remember something and said excitedly: "Tell me, could it be that when the eldest brother filled in his hometown address, he filled it in wrongly and filled it in directly to Lushan Village?"
"So Mr. Annunciation was sent to his home in Lushan Village."
Compared to her eldest brother failing the exam, Zhang Xinghua would rather they sent him to the wrong place.
"Brother, really, why are you so confused at such a critical moment?" She frowned and snorted coldly, "Those villagers must know the news, but no one informed our family." They thought in the future.
It's impossible to take advantage of it. She will definitely not let the villagers of Lushan Village put their fields in the name of her eldest brother.
"Let's pack up and go to Lushan Village."
Su Yuewei couldn't wait any longer, so she planned to go to Lushan Village to find out. She and Zhang Xinghua both put on their cleanest and brand-new clothes. They were not willing to be compared in front of the villagers.
The two of them walked over without saying much.
When they arrived at Lushan Village, Su Yuewei found that all the villagers were beaming with joy, as if they had picked up silver.
Their voices were carried by the breeze.
"...I went to Ankou Village today to bring fruits to my brother. Their village is so jealous of us that they wish they could join our village."
"Who says it's not the case? People outside now say that our village is Jieyuan Village!"
"We are lucky enough. We can walk sideways when we go out from now on. The village school will start classes tomorrow. Originally the village chief only wanted to invite a boy to come over, but then He Xiucai took the initiative and said he would be the teacher of the village school."
"The school in this village is still a bit slow. My girl Pianzi has been taking classes for more than a month. My girl Pianzi's manners are getting better and better. She looks like a lady. This shows that the school for girls is still good.
of."
Jieyuan?
Su Yuewei was shocked. Sure enough, her guess was right! Mr. Annunciation just sent it to the wrong place and sent it to Lushan Village.
These villagers are so abominable. They take advantage of their family without even reminding them.
Chengwang is Jieyuan...
She had never heard of any Jieyuanhui who failed to pass the Jinshi exam. Her eyes were filled with tears, and the fortune teller did not lie to her.
Zhang Xinghua also had the same idea as Su Yuewei and showed an angry expression, "Why didn't you notify us?"
The villagers just felt baffled, "You are no longer from Lushan Village. What should I tell you?" When they left, they looked like they wanted to sever ties with their Lushan Village.
More importantly, considering the relationship between the Zhang family and the Yuan family, are you embarrassed to take advantage of the Yuan family?
The villagers all suspected that the news that Yuan Suijun would lose the election some time ago was because the sisters-in-law deliberately released it to disgust Yueling and Baoshu. How could they be so thick-skinned?
An angry look appeared on Su Yuewei's face, "Why is it none of our family's business? Success is the honor of our Zhang family, and it has nothing to do with you at all."
"That's right! You bullied our family like that before, and you still want to take advantage of us!"
The villagers were all shocked and dumbfounded.
Did they just hear it wrong?
How come you heard Zhang Xinghua say that Cheng Wangzhong understands Yuan?
If they hadn't witnessed the messenger coming to deliver the gold message with their own eyes, they would have believed it!
Seeing that these villagers had nothing to say, Zhang Xinghua showed a proud expression. The next moment, she heard the villagers say: "It's not dark yet, why are you daydreaming?"
"Master Jinke Jie Yuan is Suijun! Don't you think it's Zhang Cheng who hopes to understand Yuan? He is the only one who became a scholar by luck last year. How can he have such ability?"
"I asked the person who announced the good news yesterday. This time in Guangning County, a total of six people were elected, and none of them was Zhang Chengwang."
In the past, Guangning County could produce up to two candidates at a time, but this year it can be said to be a bumper harvest. I heard that the county magistrate was so happy that he felt windy even when he went out.
"That's right, if I were you, I wouldn't have the shame to show up in the village."
Su Yuewei felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on her head. The chill spread from the top of her head to the soles of her feet. Her lips trembled and she looked anxious, "Liar, Cheng Wang is so talented, how could he fail?"
The one who understands Yuan is actually Yuan Suijun?
Didn't the fortune teller say that he was destined to die young?
How could Su Yueling have a better life than hers? Not only was she canonized as a township monarch, but her husband was also a Jie Yuan.
Su Yuewei felt like she was in an ice cave when she thought that her neighbors all mistakenly thought she had succeeded. By then, their family would become a complete joke.
It’s all because of Xinghua’s big mouth! Now that they are fine, I don’t know how many people will laugh at them.
She was too embarrassed to see anyone for a while.
Su Yuewei recalled what she had done during this period, couldn't help but let out a sob, turned around and left.
Zhang Xinghua was stunned for a moment, not daring to stay here any longer, and chased after her.
The two sisters-in-law felt as if they were mourning for their heirs, and they ran and shed tears all the way.
…
When they left, Yuan Suijun and the others finally arrived at Lushan Village.
The Yuan family's carriage was too conspicuous. As soon as it entered the village, it was surrounded by villagers, and congratulatory sounds penetrated my ears.
Yuan Suifeng saw his eldest brother pinching the osmanthus flowers, his handsome face showing rare anxiety, and smiled: "Everyone, give way first, let us go home first."
"We are anxious to see Baoshu and the others."
The eldest brother is thin-skinned, so he won't talk about his sister-in-law. It's rare to see the eldest brother's expression, and it's quite refreshing.
"When our family holds a banquet, everyone remember to come over and have a banquet."
Yuan Suifeng felt in his heart that he was such a good brother.
The villagers hurriedly got out of the way, and some ran directly to notify Old Man Sheng.
So when Yuan Suijun and others got off the carriage and returned home, and saw Yuan Baoshu with a smile on her face and Su Yueling sitting there eating snacks carelessly, her heart suddenly fell to the ground.
This is his home and the pure land he vowed to protect.
The corners of his lips curled up, "I'm back."
He held a bouquet of osmanthus flowers in his hand. The osmanthus flowers exuded a strong fragrance, and the whole room was filled with this fragrance. After a day and night, even though Yuan Suijun soaked the osmanthus flowers in a bottle of water along the way, he could not avoid the vitality.
As time went by, some petals fell off, destroying the original shape and showing a bit of decay. They did not look as perfect and charming as when they were just picked.
But this was the best condition the flowers could keep after he hurried as far as possible.
"As promised, I brought back the most beautiful osmanthus flower."
