The county town is quite far from here, and the county's wife actually came to congratulate her. Jiang Changxi said: "My dear aunt, please don't be ashamed of me. I'm very thin-skinned."
Followed by: "Thank you for your hard work and making such a trip."
The county's wife: "There is no need to be polite between us. Uncle Zhou won the imperial examination. It is a huge happy event. There is nothing to be ashamed of. It is a time to be happy and proud. After ten years of hard work, who doesn't look forward to today."
Jiang Changxi: "If you say this, it would be embarrassing if you didn't make it public."
The county's wife said: "As it should be, today there will be a banquet at your house, and tomorrow we will go next door and have a banquet at my house."
So she came to Baoding Mansion specially to help her son and daughter-in-law prepare a banquet. Jiang Changxi really blushed this time, she was ashamed, she was being sentimental.
Mrs. Jiang San was following her daughter, accompanying the county's wife and saying, "It must be true."
Then he said to Jiang Changxi: "Look, mothers are like this, but you still dislike my publicity. You should be happy, for Erlang."
Jiang Changxi comforted herself. The county lady was just following her words and said, "I don't dare to refute you, right?"
Mrs. Jiang San raised her chin, and she could see it more clearly than her daughter: "Hmph, go quickly, Mom is looking at the tribe, we are quite familiar with you. We are all tribesmen, you have to get along well.
, don’t be rude, that’s where you should be humble.”
Jiang Changxi went to the clan, and several sisters-in-law gathered around Jiang Changxi to express their congratulations. There was intimacy in every word.
Jiang Changxi: "My husband is where he is today, thanks to the support of my clan members. I would like to thank my sisters-in-law."
The ladies are already very happy that Erlang and his wife can put their clansmen in their eyes like this.
Seeing Erlang's wife say it so clearly, the ladies originally wanted to say that when Erlang became successful in the future, it would be difficult to forget the words of the clan, otherwise it would be difficult to speak.
Jiang Changxi: "My husband is lucky enough to be on the list, so he will definitely continue to work hard. At home, I still need the help of my aunt and sisters-in-law to take care of me."
The ladies are relieved to hear this. Erlang's wife is so capable. There are stewards in the village and a housekeeper in the house. What can they be used to look after?
They were just saying some kind words, but they made people feel comfortable listening to them.
Erlang's wife has not forgotten them, so what else will she say about the future? It can be seen that she has the clansmen in her heart, and they are all in her heart.
Several sisters-in-law rushed ahead of the uncles and promised: "I'm sure, don't worry, we will help you take care of the things in the clan. Spring plowing and autumn harvest, you will naturally have someone to take care of it, but if the manpower is inconvenient, just do it
Just tell the manager, just come over and greet us. It doesn't matter whether you are here or not."
Jiang Changxi likes this refreshing energy very much. Of course, the main reason for being as harmonious as today is to lay a good foundation.
The sisters-in-law even said directly to Jiang Changxi: "We are not outsiders here, so we don't need you to greet us. We just go about our business. We are all happy for you today."
Jiang Changxi: "Sisters-in-law are naturally not outsiders. If they had not come in such a hurry today, they would have helped me to greet the guests." So we are all our own people.
What kind of people are here today? Scholars and masters. They can help greet the guests. How shameful they are.
They won't go overboard to help greet guests, but this is a sign of dignity.
Several sister-in-laws were smiling like flowers. Erlang thought that they really didn't look down on their clansmen just because they got rich.
Jiang Changxi was asked to do a lot of work, so there was no need for them to bother greeting their own people.
Being so considerate, Jiang Changxi could only ask Dagui to make the return gift more decent.
Zhou Lan is naturally having more fun. Today is Uncle Zhou’s home court.
Uncle Zhou of Baoding Prefecture has already become famous in Baoding Prefecture since the heavy snowfall last year. In addition, for this scientific examination, Zhou Prefecture does not hide his secrets. The artifacts that are necessary for the scientific examination are produced by Baoding Prefecture, regardless of whether they are from Baoding Prefecture.
Scholars and those who came from afar to take the exam all know Uncle Zhou and have a good impression of him.
For example, among those who came to have a wedding banquet today, there were several tables with students who passed the exams in the same subject, and there were also scholars who failed the exams. They all came because of their reputation. They came just to give you the face and are willing to make friends.
Zhou Lan's scientific examination results came out. Although he was ranked tenth, his reputation was close to that of Jieyuan, who was the first.
The gentlemen are also satisfied. Of course, the gentlemen have also gained experience. It turns out that fame can be achieved in this way.
The only pity is that Uncle Zhou of Baoding Prefecture is not a talented scholar from Baoding Prefecture.
Fortunately, Zhou Lan doesn't pursue this either. He has also written several romantic poems, but unfortunately these are all for Jiang Changxi.
However, Jiang Changxi lacks this strength. He doesn't like it very much and doesn't quite understand it yet.
As a result, Zhou Lan had no enthusiasm to make a name for himself in this area.
To put it simply, if someone who likes it doesn’t want to watch it, why is he spending so much time on it? Family preferences limit the display of talent.
Uncle Zhou, let’s just say Uncle Zhou. Fortunately, he has gained fame.
Taking advantage of today's opportunity, these students who came here because of their reputation and who they knew before were very noisy.
I even heard someone say that Uncle Zhou was a righteous man. Zhou Lan drank so much that he knew he was guilty. Compared with his righteousness, he was not as good as the second brother-in-law Jiang. His classmates praised him.
Brother Jiang's second brother-in-law was accompanying his brother-in-law: "Don't be modest. Think about this matter one by one. You can afford it."
Zhou Lanxin said, "I am a literati and a scholar, and I am praised for my righteousness. Do you think it sounds good to me?"
Zhou Lan was carried back to the house that day. Jiang Changxi had no chance to persuade him to drink less.
When my classmates went to see the prefect, the prefect, besides knowing Jieyuan, had a lot to say to Uncle Zhou, who was famous in Baoding Prefecture.
Look, let’s just say that the ranking is a bit low, but the popularity is very high.
What was surprising was that Mr. Fu Zun asked specifically. The instant noodle seasoning packets produced by Uncle Zhou's house were probably from the days of the provincial examination, and the taste was too different.
Zhou Lan said shyly: "It's mainly for the convenience of carrying. They are not inconspicuous small items."
Mr. Fu Zun: "Not only that, but it is also convenient and affordable. I can achieve such results in this government examination thanks to these inconspicuous little things."
For Mr. Fu Zun, if the overall provincial examination results of Baoding Prefecture can go up, it is also a political benefit. He is naturally favored by Uncle Zhou who helped him in his career.
Zhou Lan was very modest: "My lord, the Lord of the Palace, praised me so much that I feel ashamed that I can't deserve it."
Mr. Fu Zun didn't just say this: "I heard that last year, Juren braved the wind and snow to help people repair and build houses in the countryside."
Zhou Lan: "Students have little knowledge and many shortcomings in abilities, which makes adults laugh."
The Lord of the Prefecture nodded gently and praised: "Young people don't need to be humble, they do real things. If Baoding Prefecture has more real people like Zhou Juren, it will be a blessing to the neighbors."
