The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse

"I seem to hear gongs and drums?"

"It seems that it was passed from the village entrance. Are there any marriages in the village today?"

Jiang Chongzheng was discussing business with several clan elders, and he heard the noise of gongs and drums seeming to be heard in the distance. He wondered whether he would listen to himself, because if someone in the village married, he would definitely call him the head of the village and the village chief. It's right to sit on the table.

Not only did he hear it, but also the elders who had discussed with him.

Asking each other to ask each other, no one in the village has recently held a happy event.

In addition to the gongs and drums that people in the village may have to perform happy events, the rest seems to be a possibility, that is, Jiangliu exam talents, because only he exam talents, and the rank is higher, the county government only Will send people to beat the gongs and drums to return to their hometowns to rejoice.

Jiang Chong was a little excited, his cheeks flushed, but he was also afraid that the greater the hope and the greater the disappointment, he did not dare to say his guess at the moment, but left the clan elders and rushed straight out.

Other old people also had such speculations in their hearts. They followed his pace and ran to the place where the sound of gongs and drums came.

"Good news to everyone, Master Jiang won the first in the college exam and gave Linsheng."

They came from two bureaucrats, with red silk ribbons tied around their waists, and they looked extremely happy. One of them had a gong in his hand, and the sound just came from this thing.

"First, the college exam also took the first place. Isn't that Xiu Cai Gong?"

"Yangsheng, we are born in Qingyang Village for the first time, and we will not need to look for others in the future."

The current Clan Changjiang Chong attaches great importance to the learning of the middle and young people, so the villagers also know what it means to be born, and become a born student. Not only is the Liudou Ling meter given by the county every month, but also the silver can be issued every year. Four two.

In addition, before the imperial examination, he also had a lot of income to protect the candidates. After he became a student, he was completely missed from the poor show. Even if it was compared with the people, it would not be much worse.

Happiness came too suddenly, the elder patriarch was so happy that he had a seizure of sheep. If he didn't care about his identity, he would like to pull the red silk on the two bourgeois servants, and twist a harvest dance. .

"Quick, open the ancestral hall, we have to tell the ancestors this good news, and within a few years, we may be out of a celebrity.

Jiang Chong paid out one or two silver pockets to the two messenger bureaucrats, and the ordinary rejoicing gave him a hundred or two hundred words. His shot can be said to be extremely generous.

The two bureaucrats smiled and said a lot of good humor: "Master Jiang Xiao will be able to become an old boy at the age of seven. After a few years, let alone a person, maybe Master Jin Shi can be deserved."

This heard Jiang Chong's heart was hot. If the Jiang family could really get a jinshi, then they would really change the door. After going out, who would dare to look down on their Jiang surname, even the county magistrate, had to give He is the patriarch of the Jiang family.

Because he was so happy, Jiang Chong stuffed the handful of coins in his pocket to the Annunciation Office.

Because Jiangliu had not returned to his hometown, Jiangchong decided to open the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors and announce the good news to the ancestors. After the Jiangliu came back, he would set up a water seat to let other clans know that their Jiang family had a seven-year-old child. child prodigy.

Of course, this time the expenses came from the clan. According to the current achievements of Jiangliu, no one would refute it.

*****

A month later, Jiang Liu and others returned from the provincial capital.

"What, you said Master Xuezheng wants to accept you as a disciple!"

The surprise these days is that one after another, Jiang Chong covered his head, and he was about to pass out happily.

"Master Xuezheng, that is Master Xuezheng."

Jiang Chong was pacing back and forth in the house, looking at the look of the river instead of looking at a junior, more like looking at someone who could communicate with him on an equal footing, and even he should respect.

If the examination of talent shows that Jiang Chong is determined to increase his stake in Jiang Liu and become a disciple of Xuezheng, it is to allow Jiang Chong to ignore everything and tilt all the resources that the family can give to the river. .

Jiang Chong has heard the origin of the school from his son's mouth.

Jiang Shendao, Jinyang's No. 1 champion in 27 years, is currently a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. This is a senior official from Sanpin, and there is a secret word in the officialdom. Non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet. As long as he does not do wrong things, he stands in the wrong team. His future should not be underestimated.

Jiangliu became the only disciple of the other party, supported by Jiang Shendao, and the future was equally bright.

This is a great event for him and for Jiang's.

"Just in this way, our two mothers have to set off for Beijing."

Meng Yunniang was both happy and worried. What she liked was that her son could be taken by Jiang Hanlin as a disciple. He was worried that he left his hometown and went to live in a city where he was unfamiliar.

Although the son’s teacher has already said that the two of them could stay at the Jiang’s house after going to the capital, Meng Yunniang is, after all, a widow. It is still inconvenient to live in the son’s teacher’s house.

So on this trip to Beijing, they might have to buy or rent a small courtyard, so that the expenses suddenly increased a lot.

Moreover, Qingyang is far away from Jingcheng Road. After going to Jingcheng, if not necessary, I am afraid that the two women will not come back. Now Jiang Erchun and his wife are expelled from the Jiang family. Who will sacrifice the cleaning of Jiang Dachun's tomb?

and also……

Meng Yunniang lowered her eyes and dared not think about the man again.

The problems of Meng Yunniang’s worries and troubles are not a problem for Jiang Chong. Other people who want to be students in the school are not willing to accept them. Now the school is taking the initiative to accept Jiangliu as a disciple, so there is no such good thing Refusal.

As for Meng Yunniang’s concerns...

"Since now your mother and son have to live in the capital, the six acres of field that you handed over to the clan before Dachun’s death should naturally not belong to the clan. In this way, you may not be able to take care of the fields in the future. I will buy these six at the market price. Muliangtian, and Dalang became Linsheng, and every month there are a lot of Lingmi that can be received. I will get this Lingmi on behalf of Dalang in the future. As for the Lingmi, it will be converted into silver money, which can help you and your mother and son. ."

Jiang Chong was optimistic about the future of the river, so he couldn’t let him have any problems with the clan. At first, Meng Yunniang gave the six acres of good land to the clan for peace, and Jiang Chong gave the river five at a time. In the year of Lin Miyin, there were more than seventy two silvers in his hand, and Meng Yunniang was relieved.

"Fu Jun went to Yuchuan, and it seems that something good happened to him. Since you came back from Yuchuan, your brows are all smiling."

Jiang Sendao's wife sorted out his official robe for the morning and asked him with a smile.

"Hahaha, my wife understands me. I wanted to wait for my disciple to share this happy event with my wife after I came to Beijing. Now it seems that I have to tell my wife early."

Jiang Sendao laughed, how could he be so serious and rigid in front of his colleagues at this time?

At this time, he was picking the facial fat with his fingers, and then rubbed the fat with the temperature of the palm of his hand, and gently rubbed it on his face. After applying the facial fat, he did not forget to repair himself carefully against the bronze mirror. Beard and eyebrows.

"Disciple? Hu Jun is finally willing to accept the disciples?"

This is indeed a happy event. Mrs. Jiang originally thought that, according to her husband-in-law's just appearance, the personality of the fur inside, he would not accept the disciples for a lifetime.

"Exactly, my disciple, really--forget it, you will know when you see him."

After thinking for a while, Jiang Sendao planned to leave a surprise for his wife, without carefully describing the highlight of his little apprentice.

Seeing that he wanted to sell Guanzi, Mrs. Jiang didn't ask in detail, only after Jiang Sendao finished grooming his face, he put on his official robe.

"Madam, how am I going to dress up today?"

Jiang Sendao straightened his shirt and asked the lady on the side.

"The husband is still handsome and beautiful today."

Mrs. Jiang smiled and gave a thumbs up, so she wouldn’t tell him in front of her husband. Even if he tried anything, his plain face could not be compared with Pan An.

"Ok."

Hearing his wife's praise, Jiang Sendao nodded in satisfaction.

The disciples he collected this time were much more beautiful than him. At that time, the imperial examination failed to become Tan Hua Lang, but instead became the champion of the state champion Jiang Shendao, only to blame his talent for covering up his appearance.

But this time it was okay. He accepted a disciple who was as talented and as good as he was.

Jiang Sendao left with a smile. At the moment he left the bedroom, his smile stopped at once, and his face was majestic. He became the unsmiling Jiang again.
