When Master Zhu changed the still wet green cloth straight embellishments out of the house, outside the official who reported the joy has blown and approached.
The sound of cannonballs sounded outside the door.
“Hurry up, Uncle Zhu hurry up, get ready, there are cannonballs outside,” the townspeople couldn’t help but hurriedly urge as they heard the approaching officials outside.
Then, the townspeople were busy helping to tidy up in the courtyard, cleaning and sprinkling, arranging tables and chairs, some people brought fruits, peanuts and melons from home and set up a table, but waited for the announcing official to come in.
“Quickly, the oldest three family, you go to the oldest two family there to fetch some money over to prepare the red envelopes for the people, the family money is all sent to the oldest.” When old lady Zhu was preparing the wedding money, she found that there wasn’t enough money to wrap the red packets, so she couldn’t help but urgently urge the old third family to go to Zhu Pingan’s house to fetch some money to meet the emergency.
“Old sister na, people are at the door, time that’s enough, I still have some here, you use it first.”
“I have some here too.”
“And me.”
The townspeople grabbed the money they had with them with seven hands and handed it to Old Mrs Zhu, so that she could wrap red envelopes for people to use for rewards.
Just when they were ready, they heard the people who were in the courtyard make way, and the magistrates in black and red clothes blew into the Zhu family’s old mansion.
“Congratulations, congratulations to your house Zhu senior high school children’s examination case first, mention of the school officer Lord appointed Zhu senior granary.”
“Congratulations to your Zhu family Zhu Lao ⊥ long ⊥ wind ⊥ Wen ⊥ learning, ● ne ← t master high school first place, in the future will be three successive successes, the report frequently.”
“Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to the old master and old lady, the family has a noble son. Wealth and honour are at our doorstep.”
The government officials who came to report the good news were all well spoken, and entered the Zhu family’s old house. Just two eyes will recognise who is the family of the Zhu family, come forward with a smile on their face to congratulate congratulations.
Listening to the words of the good news yamen. The people of the lower river village have been admired, these poor masters no wonder can be in the county as a post, look at what people say, how we will not be it.
“I’m happy, I’m happy,” Master Zhu was as happy as if he had drunk half a catty of old wine, arched his hand and returned the salute, already incoherent, “Wife, quick, quick. The money to send people, it is not easy for people to come all the way here.”
Zhu old lady seems to be more than ten years younger, full of smiles, handing the prepared red packet to the announcer of good news.
“Oh, thank you, old master, old lady, no rush, no rush, wait for us to read out the glad tidings, you can also put the glad tidings away. This is a great joyous event to honour the ancestors.” The magistrate holding the red paper is not in a hurry to collect the red envelopes, and wants to read out the glad tidings first before collecting the red envelopes.
“Good good good in reason in reason,” Zhu old man nodded repeatedly, smiling from ear to ear.
“Congratulations to your house Zhu Ping’an Zhu master, today, Montgomery South Zhili school government. Took the middle as the Anqing Prefecture courtyard examination first place Xiu Cai, features as the Huai Ning County School Grange, the countryside examination successive success.”
The magistrate holding the red paper unfolded the red paper joyful newspaper. Vocally read out.
After reading, the magistrate was surprised to find the entire courtyard suddenly silent. Opposite the smiling old man also closed his mouth at this time, do not know what to mumble.
what’s wrong?
Why does this family have such a long reflex arc
They were fine a minute ago.
How to read the joyful newspaper. But seems to be joyful stupid. Oh, also is, may be hear mention school officer adults shocked to it, also may be granary this unexpected surprise let him too much surprise it, after all, granary every year just silver two, yamen are given four two it not to mention rice flour oil and other benefits.
How do you know how to report the good news of the magistrate in the heart of the old man Zhu 10,000 grass mud horse in the whistling, also thought that the old man of the old man of the Xiucai rejoice in the silly it.
The courtyard was quiet for a few seconds before hearing someone say a trembling sentence.
“got it wrong.”
Mistake?
Hearing this, the magistrate who read out the red paper of the joyful newspaper was busy looking down at the joyful newspaper once again, one word at a time, did not read any word wrongly ah, how could it be wrong, on the way to the road they also practiced several times it.
“Wrong, got it wrong ah.”
The courtyard was filled with voices
The magistrate’s face reddened as he read the glad tidings again, it’s right! Erm, it can’t be that everyone is ganging up together to play a joke on us right This Shimokawa village people are too interesting too
“Wrong, they’ve split up, this is Zhu Shouren’s family, Zhu Ping’an is his nephew, we passed by Zhu Ping’an’s family just now.”
What?
The magistrate was shocked.
In fact, I don’t blame them, think about Yingtianfu postmen changed three fast horses to Huai Ning County overnight, in a hurry, and Huai Ning County is far away from the village of Xihe, the official in charge of issuing did not think that Zhu Pingan would be a young man ah.
If it is the town to report the good news will not get it wrong, the county to come to the people will inevitably be some mistakes, but also by the village people’s misinformation, and so on a series of factors, there is such a mistake.
At this time Zhu Pingan home door, Chen’s far from looking at the lively old house, lost with the insoles into the door, out of sight, out of mind!
His eldest uncle
God must have lost his eyes for a while to let this kind of person take advantage of the situation.
Chen’s heart is not happy, into the courtyard also did not continue to knit the soles of the shoes mood, ready to go back to the room to rest for a while to say.
Chen’s side just entered the room, just sat on the bed, then heard the sound of blowing and fighting outside.
There is no end to it!
Thus, Chen couldn’t help but frown once again.
What’s the point of showing off!
What just made Chen even more depressed was that the sound of blowing and blowing seemed to have entered the courtyard, and even the firecrackers felt like they were set off outside the front door.
What is the old mansion doing, there is no need to show off like this, is it sister-in-law’s idea?
This is too much that I did not go to the old house to congratulate, thought about the virtue of their own mouth, Chen clenched her teeth and counted a hundred Wen from the bed, wrapped in a handkerchief, ready to go with a gift of congratulations, so as not to let people block the door!
Chen’s side only from the house out, then saw the courtyard came a lot of people.
“Aiya, second sister-in-law, congratulations, I told you swine child rushed to the examination day I had a dream, that is a golden toad jumping to your home, let a person count a fortune, said swine child designation of high school, and it is true, swine child is competitive, this is not, high school it, or the first place it.”
Auntie Xiao Si grabbed Chen’s hand first and opened her mouth to congratulate her, looking like a good sister-in-law.
On the other side of the crowd of people wrapped to the great aunt looked at the fourth aunt, face are a little deformed: do people’s basic credit, not that the golden toad jumped into my house?
“Congratulations to Ping An’s mother.”
“Congratulations to the second family, you Ping’an are really competitive.”
“Ever since I was a child, I could tell that your Ping’an was no ordinary man.”
Chen froze for a while before reacting, this is, this is just a mistake, the high school is the family’s second youngest, not his elder brother
So, Chen’s wrinkled eyebrows all of a sudden stretched, the heart of the not happy also all of a sudden comfortable, the face of the loss also all of a sudden changed into a bright smile beautiful.
“Where where where, my oldest two is just a bit lucky.”
Chen said very modest, but that proud of how to cover up can not be hidden
