"It seems to be from the entrance of the village. Is there any marriage in the village today?"
Jiang Chong was discussing matters with several clan elders when he heard the noise of gongs and drums in the distance. He wondered if he had heard it wrong, because if someone in the village got married, he would definitely invite him, the clan leader and village official Just take the seat.
But he was not the only one who heard it, and the elders who discussed it with him also heard it.
? After asking each other, there is no one in the village to organize a wedding recently.
Then, apart from the sound of gongs and drums that the villagers may have when they organize weddings, there seems to be only one possibility left, that is, Jiang Liu was selected as a scholar, because only when he was selected as a scholar, and the ranking was higher, the county government would be able to do it. People will be sent to beat gongs and drums to return to their hometown to announce the good news.
Jiang Chong was a little excited, and his cheeks were flushed, but he was also afraid that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, so he didn't dare to express his guess for a while, but left those clan elders and rushed outside.
The other clan elders also had such speculations in their hearts, and followed his pace, and ran to the place where the sound of gongs and drums came.
"Congratulations to everyone, Mr. Jiang won the first place in the hospital examination, and he is bestowed with life."
Two yamen servants came, with red ribbons tied around their waists, looking extremely happy. One of them held a gong in his hand, which was the source of the sound just now.
"Number one, I also got the first place in the college examination, so isn't that a scholar?"
"Liansheng, it's the first time we have a liansheng in Qingyang Village, and we don't need to go to other people for guarantee in the future."
The current clan Changjiang Chong attaches great importance to the learning of the juniors in the clan, so the villagers also know what it means to be a granary student. When you become a granary student, you will not only get six buckets of granary rice given by the county school every month, but also get granary silver every year. Four two.
In addition, there is also a lot of income for guarantors for candidates before the imperial examination. If you become a granary student, you will be completely out of luck with poor scholars.
Happiness came so suddenly, the old patriarch was as happy as a goat, if he hadn't been concerned about his identity, he would have pulled the red silk from the two yamen servants who announced the good news, and performed a harvest dance .
"Hurry up, open the ancestral hall. We have to tell our ancestors the good news. In a few years, our Jiang family may have a master."
Jiang Chong gave the two messengers one or two taels of silver out of his own pocket, and usually one or two hundred cash for announcing the good news. His move can be said to be extremely magnanimous.
The two yamen servants chuckled and said a lot of good things: "Master Jiang can become a granary student at the age of seven. After a few years, let alone a scholar, maybe a master Jinshi can be a master."
Hearing these words, Jiang Chong's heart became hot. If Jiang's family can really produce a Jinshi, then it will really change the family. If they go out in the future, who would dare to look down on their Jiang family, even the county magistrate? He is the patriarch of the Jiang clan, Bo Mian.
Because he was so happy, Jiang Chong stuffed the handful of copper coins in his pocket to the yamen servant who announced the good news.
Because Jiang Liu has not yet returned to his hometown, Jiang Chong decided to open an ancestral hall to worship the ancestors first, and announce the good news to the ancestors. child prodigy.
Of course, the expenses this time were paid by the clan. According to Jiang Liu's current achievements, no one would argue against it¡ª¡ª
One month later, Jiang Liu and others returned from the provincial capital.
"What, you said that Master Xuezheng wants to accept you as a disciple!"
Surprises these days came one after another, Jiang Chong covered his head, and was about to pass out with happiness.
"Master Xuezheng, that is Master Xuezheng."
Jiang Chong paced back and forth in the room, looking at Jiang Liu didn't look like he was looking at a junior, but more like looking at someone who could communicate with him on an equal footing, and who he should even respect.
If being admitted as a scholar made Jiang Chong determined to increase his betting chips on Jiang Liu and become a disciple of Xuezheng, it would allow Jiang Chong to disregard everything and lean all the resources that his family could give him to Jiang Liu .
Jiang Chong has already found out about the origin of the Xuezheng from his son.
Jiang Shendao, the number one scholar in Jinyang for 27 years, is currently a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. His future cannot be underestimated.
Jiang Liu became the only disciple of the other party. With Jiang Zandao's support, the future is also bright.
This is a great joy for him and for the Jiang family.
"It's just that, our mother and I have to leave for the capital."
Meng Yunniang was both happy and worried. The happy thing was that her son could be picked up by Jiang Hanlin and accepted as a disciple. The worry was that she would leave her hometown and live in an unfamiliar city.
Although the son's teacher had already said that the two of them could stay at Jiang's house after they went to the capital, but Meng Yunniang was a widow after all, and it was still inconvenient to live in the house of her son's teacher.
Therefore, on this trip to the capital, they may have to buy or rent a small courtyard. In this way, the expenses will immediately increase a lot.
Moreover, Qingyang is far away from the capital city. After going to the capital city, if it is not necessary, I am afraid that the two mothers will not come back again. Now that Jiang Erchun and his wife have been expelled from the Jiang family. Who will worship and clean the grave of her late husband Jiang Dachun?
besides¡¡
Meng Yunniang lowered her eyes, not daring to think about that man again.
Meng Yunniang's worries and worries are not a problem in Jiang Chong's view. Others are unwilling to accept Xuezheng who wants to be a student of Xuezheng. Now that Xuezheng has taken the initiative to accept Jiang Liu as a student, how can there be such a great thing? reason for refusal.
As for Meng Yunniang's worries
"Since your mother and son have to live in the capital now, the six acres of fertile land that Dachun asked you to hand over to the clan before his death should not belong to the clan. Well, I'm afraid you won't be able to take care of the land in the future. I will buy it at the market price. Six acres of fertile land, and Dalang became a granary student, so he can get a lot of granary rice every month. From now on, I will receive the granary rice on behalf of Dalang, and the granary rice will be converted into silver money, which is good for you mother and child. Urgent."
Jiang Chong is optimistic about Jiang Liu's future, so naturally he can't let him have any grudges against the clan. At the beginning, the six acres of fertile land that Meng Yunniang gave to the clan for the sake of safety were converted into silver coins, and Jiang Chong also gave Jiang Liu five at once. The year's Lin Miyin suddenly had more than 70 taels of silver in her hand, and Meng Yunniang felt much more at ease¡ª¡ª
"Husband went to Yuchuan, and it seems that something good happened. Since you came back from Yuchuan, you are always smiling."
Jiang Sandao's wife helped him arrange the official robes he would wear when he went to court in the morning, and asked him with a smile.
"Hahaha, Madam still understands me. I originally wanted to share this happy event with Madam after my disciple came to the capital. Now it seems that I have to tell Madam earlier."
Jiang Shendao laughed out loud. At this moment, he is not as serious and rigid in front of his colleagues as usual.
At this time, he was picking up the facial fat with his fingers, and then rubbed the facial fat with the warmth of his palm, and gently rubbed it on his face. After applying the facial fat, he did not forget to carefully repair himself in front of the bronze mirror. beard and eyebrows.
"Disciple? Husband is finally willing to accept disciples?"
This is indeed a happy event. Mrs. Jiang originally thought that according to her husband-in-law's personality of being upright on the outside but rough on the inside, she would never accept apprentices for the rest of her life.
"Exactly, my disciple, really¡ªforget it, you'll know when you meet him."
Jiang Shendao thought about it, but still planned to surprise his wife, and did not elaborate on the outstanding features of his little apprentice.
Seeing that he wanted to show off, Mrs. Jiang didn't ask in detail, but changed into an official robe for him after Jiang Sandao finished grooming his face.
"Ma'am, how am I dressed today?"
Jiang Shendao straightened his clothes and asked the lady beside him.
"My husband is still very handsome today."
Mrs. Jiang gave a thumbs up with a smile, so she would not tell him in front of her husband, no matter how careful he was, his ordinary face could not be compared with Pan An's.
"Um."
Hearing his wife's praise, Jiang Zandao nodded in satisfaction.
The disciple he accepted this time was much more handsome than him. It was Jiang Zandao's regret that he failed to become a Tanhualang in the imperial examination, but instead became a champion. It is only because his talent concealed his appearance.
But this time it's okay, he has accepted a disciple who is as talented as he is, and if he can't be a Tanhua, his own disciple will definitely be able to get what he wants for him.
Jiang Sandao left with a smile. The moment he left the bedroom, his smile was suppressed and his face was majestic. He became the unsmiling Master Jiang again. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
