Otoharu

Chapter 294
As the day when Qiu Wei releases the list is getting closer, the Li family members are getting more and more nervous. Mrs. Li thinks about it day by day and dreams at night, and she starts to dream. He failed the exam. Anyway, there was everything in the dream, which made her very worried, so she could only grab her own girl to talk about.

"Why do you say I'm always dreaming? My heart is up and down all day long. I hit it for a while and miss it for a while. It's so uncomfortable." Mrs. Li said wearily, clutching her chest.

"Grandmother, have you counted how many times you won and how many times you failed?" Li Meier asked Mrs. Li, wringing her fingers.

Mrs. Li was at a loss, "I don't know what to do. Sometimes there are several changes in one night's dream. I just got in the first place, and then I failed again. It's very strange!"

"Then it's really difficult to say. You must be thinking too much during the day. You should think about other things these two days. Anyway, the ranking will be released the day after tomorrow. It's okay if you keep going through these two days." Li Meier also agreed. I can't think of any good way, so I can only comfort him like this.

"Oh... that's the only way to go." Mrs. Li sighed again, hoping that the day when the list would be announced would come soon.

On the first night when the list was made, Mrs. Li was still dazed and had a messy dream all night, causing the old lady to get up before dawn.

When I got up, I went to the old osmanthus tree in the yard to find a good osmanthus branch, folded it and put it in a bottle, before I freshened up.

When the grooming is over, let's take the boat to see if Li Yan and Jiang are up, and remind them not to forget about today's announcement.Then Shuxiang and Ding Yi were sent to the town to wait, and when the announcer came, they hurried home to notify.

The old lady wakes up so early, so it's not easy for the rest of the family to sleep in late. Li Mei'er doesn't have to go to Mrs. Zhen's school these days, so she wakes up half an hour late. Stop yawning.

Mrs. Li couldn't bear to see Li Mei'er's tired and lazy appearance, so she couldn't help admonishing her: "You should take care of your lazy tendons, Brother Kang is even more diligent than you!"

Li Meier couldn't help yawning again, and said with tears in her eyes, "Brother Kang is young, so he didn't fall asleep."

"You are not very old, you are only four years older than Brother Kang, and Shanqing is only a few months older than you, and he is not as sleepy as you!" Mrs. Li retorted rudely.

Li Meier had nothing to say, she could only promise that she would not sleep in late in the morning.

Because today is the day when the list is released, the whole family eats Jidi porridge for breakfast, which means it is auspicious.Mrs. Li even made everyone change into red clothes and red robes, and the whole family became very popular.Even Li Yan, Jiang Shanqing, and Jiang Youzhi wore red robes.

Li Yan seldom wears such bright colors, so he felt very uncomfortable, so he persuaded his mother, "This is too exaggerated, it makes people laugh, it's fine to wear ordinary clothes. If everyone in the red robe can win, wouldn't everyone win?" Are you wearing a red robe?"

"You know what, the material of this clothes was offered in front of the statue of the Bodhisattva, so it is only useful for our family to wear." Mrs. Li said, "Don't disappoint the heart of the Bodhisattva."

Li Yan didn't dare to say anything now, he just dragged his brother-in-law and changed into the red clothes, is it good and bad to share?

The tribute courtyard usually publishes the list at Chen's time, and when the news reaches their town, it will be almost noon.

Mrs. Li has been restless since she had breakfast.Looking towards the door from time to time, the two parties involved, Li Yan and Jiang Youzhi, were not as nervous as her old man.

However, the two people are not nervous on the surface, so it is not known what they are thinking in their hearts.

Li Mei'er was really big-hearted, she didn't want to sit in the living room stupidly, so she went to the kitchen to arrange lunch, thinking that if she won, she would have a good meal to celebrate.

It was almost noon, and Mrs. Li heard a gong from a distance. She stood up abruptly, and asked tremblingly, "Is it here?"

Immediately, the breathing of the people in the room was also stagnant, Jiang Shi also stood up excitedly, Li Yan pinched the teacup unconsciously, Jiang Youzhi also clasped his hands together, and stared straight at the door.

"Uncle won! Great joy! Great joy!" Shouts came from far and near outside the door, and the people inside could hear the voice of Shuxiang.

Before Li Yan recovered, Mrs. Li's eyes turned black with joy, and her voice trembled, she asked, "Have you hit? My son has hit!"

At the moment of speaking, Shuxiang ran into the house like a gust of wind, and without enough time to catch her breath, she said loudly: "Master, I'm in the No. 90 eighth place! The person who announces the good news is almost at the door!"

"Ah, ah! It's really hit!" Mrs. Li was already blushing with excitement, and began to speak incoherently. Mrs. Jiang was also happy, but she didn't forget her younger brother, so she asked, "Where's my uncle? Missed?"

Shuxiang's smile immediately subsided a little, and he said falteringly, "There is only one person to announce the good news..."

Jiang Youzhi had already prepared in his heart. Although he was a little disappointed at the moment, he didn't want to spoil the happy atmosphere, so he said with a smile, "It's a great joy for my brother-in-law to win. I'm still young, so I'll take the exam later."

Although Mrs. Li was overjoyed, her brother-in-law failed the exam after all, so she put away her smile and persuaded, "Youzhi, don't feel bad, your brother-in-law took the exam for many years before he passed the exam. You are still young." Well, there will be more opportunities in the future!"

Jiang Youzhi nodded with a smile, and began to congratulate Li Yan, telling Li Yan not to forget to treat him to a drink.

Although Jiang regretted that her younger brother didn't get the autograph, after all, her husband won the prize, and she was more happy than worried. Besides, what her mother-in-law said was right, my brother is still young after all.

Li Mei'er also heard the movement in the backyard. At this moment, the flour on her hands was not wiped off, so she ran over and asked in surprise, "Did my dad win?"

"I got it! I got it! Your father will be the Juren master from now on!" Mrs. Li's old eyes narrowed into a smile, and followed her granddaughter to announce the good news.

Mrs. Li felt that she had made great contributions to her son's success in the exam, so she smiled and said, "I've lost so many gray hairs these days because of their affairs. It's not in vain that I took my whole family to burn incense and worship Buddha for them." , and offered the red clothes in front of the Buddha, it really is the blessing of the Bodhisattva!"

While the family was talking, the announcer had already arrived at the door.

Mrs. Li very generously asked Mrs. Lin to take five taels of silver to the guard, so happy that the guard said a lot of auspicious words repeatedly.Then Mrs. Jiang took out the [-] firecrackers that had been prepared long ago, and set them off for a long time. Now the neighbors in the neighborhood knew that someone in his family had won the Juren.

But when Mrs. Li calmed down, she felt sorry for the five liang of silver that was rewarded. She was so distressed that she didn't sleep well for several nights.
