Chapter 150 News

Zhulan said: "It's already been prepared."

Zhou Shuren waited for Ming and Qing to come over before going to see the results together.

Mrs. Wu Li also packed the kitchen and hurried home. She wanted to wait for the reporter at home.

About an hour later, Zhulan's family came to announce the good news, "Congratulations, Zhou Shuren is one of the candidates."

Zhulan was happy for Zhou Shuren, and it was not in vain for Zhou Shuren to think about the examiner's preferences, and took out the purse to the person who announced the good news, "We are happy together, let's drink tea."

Two purses each containing one tael of broken silver, big red envelopes.

Seeing the good news, Zhulan hurried to ask, "There are two people in our family taking the exam, how is Zhou Mingqing's result?"

Those who announced the good news glanced at each other, they really didn't pay attention, they just thought about rushing to send the first errand, "Someone should deliver the letter in a while, madam, wait patiently."

Zhulan sent away the person who announced the good news, and then set off firecrackers. Whether it is modern or ancient, Zhulan is quite afraid of firecrackers. This time, she bit the bullet for Zhou Shuren.

The firecrackers were set off at the door, and the neighbors knew about it. However, because Zhou Shuren was old, even if he was admitted as a scholar, the neighbors still thought that there was not much value in socializing, and no one came to congratulate him.

Zhulan didn't care, she waited patiently to see if someone would come to announce the good news. The patriarch's family only reads best in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but they have taken the exam a few times. The patriarch's family is full of hope this time. Zhulan sincerely hopes that Ming and Qing can pass.

After another half an hour, the person who announced the good news finally arrived. Zhulan knew the results of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This year, she got the top 30 in the academy trial, which was ten less than in previous years. She almost didn't pass the 29th in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so she sent her away. For the good news, Zhulan felt relieved.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the courtyard, a buddy came, "Zhou Tengsheng asked the younger one to report that he won't be coming back at noon today, and told his wife not to wait."

Zhulan counted twenty Wen coins to the clerk, "It's been a hard trip, this is a happy event for the family, let's have a cup of hot wine."

The clerk took it with both hands, "Mrs. Xie, the little one is also very happy."

Zhulan went back to the yard, and Wu Ting came to run errands, "Aunt Zhou, the house has prepared drinks for the evening, please invite Uncle Zhou and Auntie to have a drink."

Zhulan hurriedly asked, "Which place did your eldest brother get in the exam?"

Wu Ting felt that it was a pity that the eldest brother did not become a junior, but it was a great joy to successfully pass the scholar examination. "The second place is no match for Uncle Zhou. I will definitely ask Uncle Zhou for advice in the future."

Zhulan said modestly: "Your brother is very powerful."

Wu Ting nodded in agreement, "Aunt Zhou, I'm going back first."

"Okay, our family will definitely be there tonight."

Wu Ting ran away happily. The family has spare money, and his brother has become a scholar. The days will be better and better.

Zhou Shuren came back in the afternoon, smelling of alcohol all over his body, Zhulan frowned, "Why did you drink so much wine today?"

Zhou Shuren was half drunk, "I didn't expect that I would be the first in the exam, but I was pouring alcohol so hard that if I didn't pretend to be drunk, I wouldn't be able to get away."

Zhulan twisted the handkerchief to wipe Zhou Shuren's face, feeling distressed, "They are all arrogant."

Zhou Shuren sobered up, "There are many children from aristocratic families in this exam. I am an old man and I am from a rural area. Naturally, I am not convinced. These people will not make things difficult for you after drinking once with high spirits."

Zhulan sighed, the ancient class was too obvious, she couldn't help putting her arms around Zhou Shuren's neck, "This family has worked hard for you."

Zhou Shuren is used to it in modern times. He doesn't feel aggrieved. No matter what class he is in, some aggrievedness is unavoidable. Even if he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, he will still be aggrieved. However, he enjoys Zhulan's comfort. !

Zhulan let go of her hands and sat aside, supported Zhou Shuren's head and pressed it on her lap, and slowly massaged Zhou Shuren's head.

Zhulan said: "Go to Wu's house for dinner at night, drink less, your body is not too young, don't rely on your drinking capacity to think you're fine."

"Don't worry, I know it well, I want to accompany you to live a long life!"

The corners of Zhulan's mouth turned up, "You must count on what you say. I am ten years older for nothing. I must live longer."

Zhou Shuren opened his eyes, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Well, I got the news today that the new dynasty has been established for 12 years, and the children's examination is held every year. The disclosure given by Xuezheng this time will be changed from next year to twice every three years. "

"It has nothing to do with you, but it has something to do with the children. If Chang Lian and Chang Zhi can't survive next year, they will have to wait another year."

Zhou Shuren nodded, "Yes, so our plan has to be changed."

Zhulan asked again, "How many people in our county have passed the examination for scholar?"
