Welcome everyone:. It’s rare to see Zhang Yuan with such uncontrollable joy. Mu Zhenzhen and Wu Ling all shouted for joy, Neng Liang and Ming Yan also beamed, and pedestrians on East Chang’an Street were attracted by the joy at Qiaotou.
Frequent side glances.
Zhang Dai smiled and bowed: "Congratulations, my son is now a father. He won the top prize and gave birth to a son. It's really enviable."
Zhang Yuan said with joy: "Brother, you must work hard too. Third brother Yan Ke's son is almost one year old."
Zhang Dai said with a smile: "You have to work hard and keep working hard."
Zhang Yuan hired a carriage and rode back to Dongsi Archway with his elder brother Zhang Dai to read the letter. Zhang Dai asked Neng Liang to go back and inform Uncle Zhong that he would be drinking and celebrating at Zhang Yuan's place tonight and would not return to the Paozi River.
Sitting on the carriage, Zhang Yuan read Dan Ran's letter carefully and learned that his son Hongjian was born at 2:00 on the morning of March 28. The baby was kicking his hands and feet and crying loudly. Zhang Yuan read the letter and felt in his heart.
I am so happy that I can’t wait to take my wife to Beijing for reunion. The letter was written on the first day of April, and today is April 29. This government express delivery shop is really fast——
When he saw the letter from his father Zhang Ruiyang, Zhang Yuan was shocked. Dan Ran was having difficulty giving birth. Fortunately, Wang Wei arrived with a stable woman named Chen from Nanjing, and the mother and son were safe——
Sister Ruoxi's letter described the dangers of Dan Ran's childbirth in more detail. "My mother is great," Zhang Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears. Zhang Dai on the side asked him what was wrong?
Zhang Yuan smiled with tears in his eyes: "It's nothing, I'm so happy."
In the letter, Wang Wei didn't say much about inviting Granny Xiaoshou to Shanyin. She only said that Xiao Hongjian was cute and could see people with two eyes as soon as she was born. She also said that she learned that Zhang Yuan won the sixth place in Jinling.
According to the news about Gongshi, Xing Long, the garrison eunuch in Nanjing, sent a congratulatory gift——
Zhang Yuan thought: "Xiu Wei took a certain risk by traveling day and night to take Grandma Xiaoshou to Shanyin. Xiu Wei is just like her adoptive mother Ma Xianglan, she is chivalrous and dares to take on responsibilities. Although she did not mean to take any credit in her letter, she has done it.
I always learn about things from my sister, Dan Ran, smart women are so charming."
The joy of Zhang Rulin, the great uncle of the family, can be imagined. The second son, the eldest grandson and his grandson, Shanyin Zhang family, won three Jinshi in one subject. Their reputation in Jiangnan is unmatched by other families. Zhang Rulin did not know it when he wrote the letter.
Zhang Yuan is already the number one scholar, and Zhang Dai has become a charlatan. He doesn't know that the examination case will end with Zhang Yuan's victory. He is still worried about Zhang Yuan, but they are far away and it is inconvenient to transmit the news. I believe it.
Zhang Yuan’s handling ability, nothing was mentioned in the letter——
Zhang E said in the letter that since his eldest brother and Jie Zi went to Beijing, he had been very bored. He spent all day in the mirror workshop making mirrors. Now he can be called a skilled mirror maker and is currently working hard to improve the telescope.
. To surpass the Thai and Westerners, it is also said that Hanshe Mirror Workshop now has thirty-six apprentices, each led by three mirror masters. The assembly line operation method has basically been formed. Since March this year, the Mirror Workshop has been able to
Eighty pairs of coma eyeglasses, sixty pairs of myopia glasses, and eighty pairs of incense mirrors were ordered in advance by merchants from all over the country. The supply exceeded the demand, and even businessmen from Japan and Luzon came here——
Zhang Yuan smiled and thought: "Three brothers are so impatient. Do you have the patience to improve the telescope?"
The carriage stopped at the west gate of the East Fourth Archway. Wu Ling was paying the fare. Zhang Yuan had already strode back to his brother-in-law's courtyard. Sisters Jinglan and Jinghui were looking at the lotus leaves in the lotus vat and arguing about the lotus flowers.
When they could drive, they heard the sound of footsteps. The two sisters turned around to look. Seeing Zhang Yuan's beaming look, Jing Hui asked: "Why is my uncle so happy? Did he pick up any money on the road? Hehe."
Zhang Yuan suppressed his joy and said: "You guessed it right. I will take you out to play tomorrow. Tomorrow is a holiday."
When Jing Lan saw Zhang Dai coming in with Zhang Yuan, she felt a little shy, smiled and said nothing, leaving Jing Hui to guess alone——
Jing Hui was not busy guessing, but observed his words. His bright eyes looked Zhang Yuan up and down, his long eyelashes fluttered like black butterflies, and he said: "My uncle seems to have won the first prize again. He is happier than winning the first prize. I guessed it.
My little aunt has given birth to a baby."
Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan looked at each other and laughed. Zhang Yuan praised: "Xiao Hui is smart. Your aunt has given birth to a baby boy. His name is Zhang Hongjian."
"Ah, great!"
Jing Hui jumped up with joy. Jing Lan had already run into the west wing to announce the good news to her mother, Mrs. Fu. Shang Zhouzuo, who had returned from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, came in at this time. Seeing Jing Hui's face as he was so happy that he forgot all about it, Jing Hui's face dropped.
Hui hurriedly said: "Dad, my aunt has given birth to a boy, and his name is Zhang Hongjian."
Hearing these words, Shang Zhouzuo suddenly became happy and looked at Zhang Yuan. Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, mother and son are safe. This is a letter sent by my uncle through post."
Shang Zhouzuo, who usually looked serious, was so happy that he kept twirling his beard and said repeatedly: "Very good, very good."
Jing Hui asked Zhang Yuan: "Uncle, when will I take my aunt and Hongjian's brother to Beijing?"
Zhang Yuan smiled and said, "Write a letter right away and ask them to leave in July and a half." He asked Zhang Dai, "Is Liu's sister-in-law coming too?"
Zhang Dai nodded. He would serve as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy for at least three years, and he would most likely stay as an official in the capital in the future. Therefore, although he was not in harmony with the Liu family, he still had to get together -
That night, Zhou Zuo, Zhang Dai and Zhang Yuan of Shang Dynasty had a drink to celebrate. Xiao Hongjian was born on March 28th and was one full moon yesterday. Zhang Dingran of Shanyin East made a full moon wine. I wonder if he had entrusted the brewer to brew the champion at home.
red?
That night, Zhang Yuan was so happy that he couldn't sleep. He wrote a reply to his two elders and Dan Ran all night, and planned to send it back by post. The Civil Information Bureau was too slow and it was really painful to wait. He was now an official, so there was nothing wrong with using post to send the letter.
, there is no need to be as cautious as my brother-in-law. In these last days, how can we be too restrictive?
On the morning of April 30th, Laifu prepared five animal sacrifices. Zhang Yuan went to Daci Yanfu Palace to pay his vows. Zhang Dai and four members of Shang Zhouzuo's family went together and paid their vows in front of the statue of the Sanguan Emperor. They came out to see Qing.
The Moshan people's hexagram stall has been set up, with two bamboo poles holding a banner, which reads: "The iron mouth is straight, and it has been praised by the number one scholar in the new science. There are good and bad fortunes, which shows that the people of Moshan in the Qing Dynasty are looking forward to the future."
Qingmo Shanren had limited ink in his stomach, so this couplet was drafted in a rather vulgar way, and it was obviously showing off in Zhang Yuan's name. Zhang Yuan, the number one scholar, and Qingmo Shanren and Dong Milk Tea also prepared a gift.
congratulate--
Zhang Yuan walked over and cupped his hands: "Good morning, Shanren. Ling Zheng didn't accompany you today?"
The people of Qing Mo Mountain bowed to Zhang Yuan, Zhang Dai, and Shang Zhou Zuo, and said: "Shan's wife is happy, and Shan Ren asked her to rest in the shop -" Suddenly he counted his fingers and congratulated Zhang Yuan: "The number one scholar is very happy.
Mother and son are safe."
"Hey, how did you know this!" Jing Hui was surprised.
"The mountain man is calculated based on the Zhuge Ma Qian hexagram." Qing Mo Shanren smiled, with an unpredictable look.
Jing Hui's eyes widened and he said in surprise: "Shanren's prediction is extremely accurate. My little aunt just gave birth to a son."
Zhang Yuan burst out laughing. Seeing that there were other people around him, he didn't say anything. He knew clearly in his heart that Qingmo Shanren had figured it out. He had clearly guessed it. Last time he came to Daciyanfu Palace to make a wish.
The people of Moshan knew that he was praying for Dan Ran to give birth safely. Now seeing a group of them coming out of the Sanguan Temple with great joy, how could a fortune teller not even wink at this? Zhang Yuan once heard his ancestor Zhang Rulin talk about Lanxi, Zhejiang
The physiognomist Yang Zigao. This man was lame and traveled all over the world with his fortune telling. He once visited the house of a certain official and gentry. The house was full of guests. These guests had never seen this Yang Zigao before, but Yang Zigao was able to point out the identities of the guests one by one. They were either commoners or historians.
, whether it is a painter or a cleaner, there is no mistake. This is actually a keen observation, and a wide range of knowledge——
At this time, a servant of the Shang family hurried over and said to Zhang Yuan: "Master Gu, there is a general flag officer named Mu who wants to see him. Aunt Qi brought him. He is waiting in the foyer now."
Zhang Yuan and Mu Zhenzhen looked at each other, and the happiness in Mu Zhenzhen's heart almost overflowed. Who could the chief flag officer named Mu be if he wasn't her father Mu Jingyan?
Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Zhenzhen, you go back first, we will arrive later."
Mu Zhenzhen agreed and ran back like flying.
…
The name of the first family. It is also a very sexy thing. Once the yellow list comes out, even in the deep mountains and poor valleys, everyone will pass on his surname——
On the third day of April, Jun Jun, the general of Yansui Shen who was far away in Yulin, saw the Di newspaper sent from Beijing. There was a list of Bingchenke Jinshi, and Zhang Yuan's name was listed first in the first class. Jun Jun stood up in shock.
Come to think of it, that young scholar with extraordinary conversation whom I met two years ago in Zhenfengli, Kunshan, has risen through the ranks. He got the first prize from the Sixth Grade Hanlin Academy. Hanlin officials are noble, but military generals have a low status. Even the general
Soldiers and generals do not dare to fight against Hanlin officials when they see them, so they must treat them respectfully.
Zhang Yuan was the top scholar in high school, and Juniper was very happy. Zhang Yuan had extraordinary knowledge. A scholar could know everything about the world without going out. The analysis of the situation in Liaodong became clearer in the letter he wrote to him last year. Nurhaci really founded the country and proclaimed himself Khan.
, the war in Liaodong is unavoidable, Jun Song already admires Zhang Yuan very much, and now Zhang Yuan has proved his ability by ranking first in the imperial examination. Jun Song has turned from admiration to respect for Zhang Yuan, with Zhang Yuan's talent and knowledge
With Yuan Yuan, it is very possible that he will become an official of Liubu Hall or even join the cabinet as an assistant in the future. Such people must get closer to each other. There are people in the court who are easy to be officials——
Du Song thought for a moment and ordered his soldiers to go to the General Banner of the Hundred Households in Hongshixia, Mu Jingyan, to come to see him at the General's office immediately. The Hundred Households in Hongshixia was more than thirty miles away from the General's Yamen in Yulin, and Mu Jingyan left that day.
He arrived on horseback and paid a visit to Du Song. Du Song ordered him to take ten sergeants tomorrow and set off for Beijing with documents from the General's Office and the survey, and go to the Arsenal Department of the Ministry of War to collect the ordnance. They must be escorted back to Yulin before the tenth day of July——
Ordnance replacement happens every year, but before that, it was all done by Jun Song's trusted servants, and the military rank was not lower than Bai Hu. This surprised and delighted Mu Jingyan. After making preparations, he came to ask Du Song at noon the next day.
As the general bid farewell, Jun Song gave him a letter and a box of gifts and said, "This is a letter and a congratulatory gift for the new champion Zhang Yuan. You can go to the capital and hand it over to him in person."
Mu Jingyan was stunned for a moment, then he woke up and said with great joy: "General, are you talking about Master Zhang Jiezi from Shanyin? The young master won the top prize!"
Jun Song smiled slightly: "Your love must have followed Zhang Zhuangyuan to the capital this time. I will send you to the capital so that your father and daughter can be reunited for a few days."
Mu Jingyan was so happy that he bid farewell to General Du Shen, led ten sergeants, and rode eastward for more than 20 days. On the morning of April 30, he entered Beijing City.
On that day, the Arsenal Department did not go through the formalities for receiving ordnance, so Mu Jingyan wanted to find Zhang Yuan first, but he happened to meet Qi Biaojia. Qi Biaojia had to go to his father-in-law's house for anything, so he brought Mu Jingyan to Dongsi Archway.
