The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 538 The Great Wedding

If you want to ask how Papa Gu knew, it was because shopkeeper Liu of Huichun Hall in the county town told the fourth child.The fourth child often goes to Huichuntang to buy medicinal materials, and the nephew of Mrs. Liu's natal family is studying in Erlang's private school.In fact, how can there be an impenetrable wall in this world?

After Old Gu knew about it, he quickly took a carriage, went to Erlang's private school, and called Erlang out.He scolded him head and face, and asked him how much favor he had received, but Erlang refused to say at first.

Erlang was dragged away by Gu's father, and went to the house Erlang bought in the county.More than 2000 taels of silver and some expensive jewelry and decorations were found in the house, which made Old Gu very angry.

The second bedroom now spends a lot of money for a year, and the second child has not saved as much as before.Last year's soap dividends only filled the hole in the Yang family, leaving some money to live on, how could Erlang save so much money?Later, he still forced Erlang to return all the money, and if he didn't return it, he would go to the county government to sue him.

Erlang received so many benefits, who knows what promise he made to others?He is not a fool, there is no benefit to agree to him?It's just that he asked Erlang, but Erlang refused to tell. He even slapped Erlang for this, and Erlang hated him for this.

In the end, he took Erlang to the two families who gave the gift, gave them something of equal value, and apologized to them.Fortunately, this matter was discovered early, otherwise Erlang would definitely cause trouble.

But shopkeeper Liu said that if Xiaobao is going to be an official in the future, if someone takes the blame, he will either let Xiaobao do things for him, or be ginseng.Those of the Gu clan, let's not say they can't help Xiaobao, but they must not make trouble for Xiaobao.

However, he didn't tell Mrs. Lu about this matter. He said Mrs. Lu couldn't think of a good way, so he might get angry in a hurry.Once it's resolved, there's no need to talk about it.

The members of the Gu family hurried to the Gu family, and found that there was no one in the courtyard of the Gu family. He walked into the courtyard, and then heard Gu's voice coming from the house.

"Brother Gu, hurry up! Your family has a big happy event! Come out to meet the officials." He yelled in the yard, and then ran to the main room.

Father Gu was thinking about the past, while Mrs. Lu stared at the embroidered frame on the kang, and stopped talking angrily.Suddenly Li Si's voice from the village came from the yard, and when Old Gu heard it, he was talking about a happy event.What a happy event?Father Gu was a little confused.

The Lu family was also attracted by that shout, what happy event could her family have?Could it be that Xiaobao is back?She quickly got off the kang, pulled on her shoes, and was about to go into the yard.

Li Si didn't care that Mrs. Lu was still in the house, and when he entered the room, he saw Father Gu, and pulled him out.

"Hurry up, those officials are here. It's even bigger than the last time! Last time the magistrate didn't come. Today we see a man in official uniform who looks like a new county magistrate."

"What?" Papa Gu also became excited when he heard that, he glanced at the clothes on his body, saw that they were cotton clothes that were frequently used on weekdays, and turned around to change.

"I have to change clothes, this clothes is not good to see the county magistrate!"

While the two were talking, they heard the sound of gongs and drums approaching, and vaguely heard someone shouting, "Gu Chengyu has hit it."

The sound was covered by the sound of gongs and drums, and it was not really heard.When Papa Gu heard it, isn't this the same as what he said last time?Could it be that Xiaobao has been admitted to Jinshi?
"Hey? Brother Gu, what are you doing? People are almost at the door, why do you change clothes? That's it! Sister-in-law Gu, hurry up too." Li Si was still thinking about Father Gu. I was a little speechless when I changed clothes, and hurriedly urged.

Can the magistrate be neglected?It is serious to go out and greet him.

After being urged like this, Gu Lao didn't change his clothes anymore.The dumb mother-in-law heard the voice in her own room, and hurried into the main room, brushed Lu Shi's hair, adjusted her clothes, and the two went out to meet the county magistrate.

The county magistrate would not let go of such a good opportunity to maintain his reputation at this moment, and after asking a few words about the crops in the villagers' fields, he followed the third uncle to lead the way and followed the messenger to the gate of Gu's courtyard.Everyone in the village followed behind the magistrate, preparing to go to Gu's house to join in the fun.

"What are you talking about? No. [-] scholar? Is the fifth son of the Gu family the No. [-] scholar? Ouch! That's amazing!"

"Isn't that the No. [-] Scholar? I really listen to you." Aunt Wang also came to join in the fun. When she heard the drums and gongs beating, the first thing she thought of was that the Gu family was having a happy event.As expected, he is the champion of the Gu family Xiaobao!
She looked at the county magistrate in front of her, and she was very envious. This Gu family has been burning incense for several lifetimes. How can this little treasure be so promising?

As soon as Father Gu and Mrs. Lu came out of the courtyard, they really saw older people surrounded in front of his house.The leaders were all wearing official uniforms and holding official documents in their hands.

Isn't the one in the green robe and the embroidered creek robe the county magistrate?Old man Gu had met Lu Zhixian before, and Lu Zhixian was wearing this dress at that time, so old man Gu was very sure that this was the new county magistrate.

He hurriedly pulled Mrs. Lu to kneel down to the county magistrate, "Gu Changqing, a grassroots man, has met the county magistrate!"

"The women have met the county magistrate!"

When Li Zhixian saw it, he hurriedly took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward to support the two people who had already knelt down halfway.These are the parents of Zhuangyuan Lang. Now Gu Chengyu is a sixth-rank official and still works in the Imperial Academy in the capital, which is much better than him, a seventh-rank magistrate who has no foundation.

In two years, maybe Gu Chengyu's mother will be able to ask for an imperial order.At that time, this woman will be higher than his county grandpa, how can he make these two people kneel down?Isn't that the face of the champion?

"Don't be too polite, both of you. I came here with a messenger from the capital to announce the good news to the Gu family. Let's invite the messenger in first." Li Zhixian saw that this was not a good thing outside the gate, so he reminded Father Gu that they should enter the courtyard Besides.

"Hey! Thank you, Grand Master of the County! Thank you, all the officials, for your hard work. I came all the way from the capital, and the journey was tiring. Come in and have a cup of tea."

At any rate, Old Man Gu has seen the world, and he speaks very slickly on the scene.Knowing that such a big happy event would definitely give those two messengers a big red envelope, he winked at Mrs. Lu who was beside him.

Of course Mrs. Lu has seen it before, the dumb mother-in-law knows this very well, so she quickly turned to look at the dumb mother-in-law.Now she doesn't hold the family money anymore, the dumb mother-in-law takes care of it for her!
The dumb mother-in-law got up from the ground with the two girls behind her, turned around and went into the house to get the red seal.

"Not busy, not busy. It's better to get the business done first." The messenger first entered Jingyuan Mansion, and then went to the county government office non-stop, in fact, he was exhausted.

However, it's never too late to take a break when the business is done.

When Uncle Gu received the news, he rushed to Gu's house in a hurry and found that the magistrate and the messenger had arrived at the Gu's yard.Panting, he straightened his clothes, pushed through the crowd, and stepped into the yard.

He is the patriarch of the Gu family, and Changqing has many rules that he doesn't understand, so he has to take care of them.

　Thanks for the reward of Space-Time Wutong Kongxin!
