Chapter 61 The county magistrate came to congratulate (second update, please subscribe)
After hearing what Zhang Shi said, no one in the Zhang family shed any tears.
The Zhang family has suffered a lot in the past year because of Brother Zhang's escape from marriage, and now they have news about him.
But what worries him most is his safety.
"Second brother, you can come back if you win the Jinshi."
Zhang Yue explained: "My elder brother can't come back yet, and my second brother has not yet passed the imperial examination. After the imperial examination, he was awarded Jinshi, and he still had to report to the court. However, I heard that the officials ordered that the imperial examination should not be given up, so I said that my second brother had won the imperial examination."
"
"That's great," Cao Baozheng said. "Even your commander-in-chief came to congratulate me personally. Is there anything else you can't believe?"
"What? Your Majesty is here in person? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Zhang Shi asked in surprise.
Everyone...
Yu's eyes were red and she said to Zhangqiu: "Quickly pinch your father's body again, he's not awake yet."
Zhang Shi hurriedly asked Cao Baozheng: "Then how do we welcome him? How do we arrange it? Baozheng knows it well."
"Of course, I've made all the arrangements for you." Cao Baozheng looked confident.
Zhang Shi and Zhang Yue discussed with Baozheng together, and Cao Baozheng made arrangements: "As soon as your commander arrives, you brothers will stand here... my sister-in-law will stand here... the order must not be messed up."
"And put on the incense table! Isn't there a table table that can be seen? I will lend it to you and hold it on my body."
When Guo Xuexiu heard that Lingjun was coming, he thought to himself, this is the Zhang family's business, why should he be an eyesore here, so he pulled Guo Lin and said, "Let's go... let's get out of the way."
Guo Lin looked at Zhang Shi who was busy under the light. Zhang Yue suddenly said: "Dad, my junior brother's second brother has won the Jinshi. Will he return to Wuxi to study in the future?"
Guo Xuexiu sighed and said: "Lin'er, there is a saying that there is no banquet in life. Don't be sad."
Guo Lin said in a daze: "Dad, I know the truth. My junior brother got into the county school, but I didn't pass. This fate of being classmates is over. But I am happy for my junior brother, let me watch it for a while! Let me see it
See how happy Junior Brother is?"
Guo Xuejun couldn't bear it. After waiting for a while, he took Guo Lin's hand and said, "Let's go, let's not get in the way."
With that said, Guo Xuejun took Guo Lin's hand and left.
At this time, Guo Lin heard someone say outside the door: "Your Majesty is coming! Your chariot is coming! Come out to meet you quickly."
Zhang Yue rushed out of the door together and came to the street.
Cao Baozheng had arranged for the neighbors to stand by the street holding torches early in the morning. But Xun felt that it was not bright enough and hurriedly said to several neighbors who were helping: "Keep the door open from door to door, and everyone in the house will hold a lantern."
"Everyone is asleep at this hour."
"I woke up even after sleeping. What day is it today?" Cao Baozheng was also anxious.
The whole Zhang family was standing at the door of their home. Zhang Yue watched Cao Baozheng and his neighbors busy with lanterns in the night wind, while he and others stood dumbly against the wind, suddenly feeling a little unreal.
Except for the nearby lights, the surrounding area was dark, except for a few fishing fires on the stream in the distance.
The night wind blows, but under the bustling scenery, there is a sense of desolation that lingers.
There are rumors of horses riding back and forth with torches in the distance, and the sound of horse hooves is especially clear at night.
Your Majesty's carriage has not yet arrived, but you have already arrived with great momentum from afar. Although you are the chief minister of a small county magistrate, you still have the honor and majesty of a chief minister.
Zhang Yue suddenly thought that if a small official like the county magistrate was like this, what about the officials above him, such as the magistrate of the state?
The Song Dynasty was the dynasty that respected scholars the most.
This is what civil servants are like, and my second brother is a twenty-year-old Jinshi, with a bright future. This seems to make me a bit redundant for being a scholar.
If he doesn't get the first place, the county magistrate will probably do it for the sake of his second brother. He doesn't even need to go to the county to study, and there will be a broader world in the future...
Even if you don't study, you can live a good life, so why should you work hard?
But another thought flashed across my mind, but it was only his business if my second brother passed the Jinshi examination. You have to rely on yourself for everything, otherwise it will be mud, and you will not be able to hold up the wall no matter what.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue clenched his fists, and a surge of ambition surged from the bottom of his heart. After my second brother won the Jinshi, I can climb higher.
"Third uncle, third uncle, why did the second uncle win the Jinshi and so many people come to our house!" Zhang Qiu asked Zhang Yue curiously.
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "They are not here to congratulate your second uncle, but they are here to congratulate you on your wealth."
Zhangqiu nodded as if he understood.
Zhang Yue suddenly looked around: "Yes, Mr. Guo, where is my senior brother?"
"They seem to be heading there."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Zhang Yue's expression changed.
Zhang Shi turned around and said: "Third brother, just leave as soon as your husband and senior brother leave. It'll be okay."
Zhang Yue said, "I'll go get them back." After saying this, Zhang Yue ran out of the house.
Zhang Shi asked anxiously: "How to use this? Third brother... Your Majesty is about to arrive... How can it be appropriate for him to see you like this?"
"Sanlang is back... Sanlang is back!"
The family behind him shouted, but Zhang Yue had already rushed away.
Guo Xuexue and Guo Lin didn't go far, and Zhang Yue soon saw their backs.
"Sir, senior brother! Sir, senior brother!" The cold night wind breathed into his heart and spleen. Zhang Yue shouted loudly as he ran hard, without even noticing that one of his shoes had slipped away.
"Dad, junior brother is calling us." Guo Lin couldn't help crying.
When Guo Xuexuan saw Zhang Yue running towards him, he even dropped one of his shoes without noticing.
At this time, Zhang Yue had already run to Guo Xuexu and Guo Lin, three steps away.
He panted for a moment, and then said to Guo Xuexue: "Sir, your order will be here soon..."
Guo Xuexun said hurriedly: "I know... you and Da Langjun are welcoming me nicely, so don't miss me. Guo Lin and I have eaten enough and are about to go out for a walk."
Walking at night? Be careful about being caught and beaten to death.
Zhang Yue said sternly: "Sir, my brother and I don't understand the rules when your king comes in person. Sir, as someone who has met your king, he will definitely know. Please give us some advice here, sir."
My helper, I would like to thank you in advance."
Guo Xuexiu panicked: "But I haven't met Lingjun either, I just met Hu Xuezheng."
Zhang Yue smiled and said: "That's good."
Zhang Yue said to Guo Lin again: "Senior brother, please stay here with your husband to help me, otherwise I will never be the best in my heart. Senior brother, we agreed at the beginning that no matter what the scenery, we would go and see it together!
"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Yue pointed to the stars in the sky.
Guo Lin remembered what the two had said before: "Master...junior brother, okay."
At that moment, Zhang Yue pulled Guo Xuexue, and Guo Lin rushed home as soon as possible.
When we arrived, we saw that the lights in front were even brighter and brilliant.
Dozens of soldiers, each holding a torch, surrounded a carriage approaching from a distance, with several horseback riders on the left and right.
"Sanlang, come here quickly!" Zhang Shi greeted hurriedly.
"Brother, I don't know where I lost my shoes?" Zhang Yue asked repeatedly.
"Confused!" Zhang Shi cursed.
Baozheng said: "Who wants to change shoes with Saburo?"
"Sanlang, wear mine." Guo Lin and several others said at the side.
Finally, a neighbor who was about the same height as Zhang Yue gave the shoes to Zhang Yue.
When I changed my shoes, the county magistrate's car had stopped in front of Zhang Yue's gate, and even County Lieutenant Peng came.
Everyone dismounted and stood in front of the door.
Immediately, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and a distinguished-looking official in his thirties or forties calmly got out of the carriage.
Zhang Yue glanced at the small buildings on the left and right and thought, "I don't know how many people are peeking in the room at this moment!"
"The grass-roots chapter is true, please see your Majesty!"
Zhang Shi and others were about to bow down when the county magistrate stepped forward to help him and said with a smile: "Tonight, I am here in disguise to congratulate you, so there is no need to adhere to these customs."
Ps: I understand, it turns out that everyone likes to watch stories about assisting five kills.
