Chapter 147 Jealousy
After the Luming Banquet was over, it was still early, and Li Xiuping planned to go around the busiest street in the provincial capital before going back.

Mainly, the intention is to buy some gifts for the family.

After the last exam, he and Qingqing hurried home, mainly because his exam result was still undecided at that time, so it was better not to be too public.

This time, at least choose some gifts for parents and daughter-in-law carefully.

There are also teachers from the county school and the private school in the town, including the teacher who first enlightened him in the village. In Li Xiuping's mind, they are all his benefactors on the road of life.

After getting married, he gave his daughter-in-law a gift once, and it was just a silver hairpin.

Li Xiuping intends to go to the jewelry shop to have a look, of course, this is the provincial capital, the jewelry is much better than what he saw in the county shop.

Whether it's workmanship, styling or other things, they are the most popular nowadays. If Qingqing wears makeup, she will definitely look good on it.

It's just the price, Li Xiuping wanted to sigh.

He is so shy in his pocket, every time at this time he will deeply feel his own poverty and make his little daughter-in-law feel wronged.

Such a random hairpin costs two to thirty taels of silver, not to mention those inlaid with jade.

For a moment, Li Xiuping felt boundless pride in his heart. He had won the exam and would study hard again next year.

Stay tuned and strive to achieve good results again!
In the future, even if you can't become a marquis and worship minister, you must find a way to win a conferment for the old lady and daughter-in-law, so that Qingqing can't live a good life after marrying him.

In the end, he chose a gold hairpin for his little daughter-in-law, which was smaller and more elegant.

Of course, if you buy jewelry for your daughter-in-law, you must also have your own mother. Li Xiuping understands Shi's personality.

Don't look at her who is so kind to Qingqing in normal times, if this time he only bought things for his young wife and forgot about his old mother.

It's not funny whether the old lady will beat him up, but Li Xiuping knows that she will always be eccentric for several days and won't give Qingqing a good look.

So he bought another gold bracelet. Basically, all the private money he had saved over the years was emptied this time.

Old man Li said, just buy him some good shredded tobacco, but the two elder brothers, Li Xiuping, did not specially prepare gifts.

The main reason is that what if the elder brother has sisters-in-law?
And he didn't want to buy things for girls other than his own wife. Anyway, he prepared a few books he had read for the children, and there were notes in the books.

If it is helpful for children to study, I believe my brother will be happy too.

As for the gift for Li Xiaomei, Li Xiuping has no experience, so it's enough to ask his wife to help when the time comes.

Then I went to the bookstore and bought some stationery and books. These are gifts for the gentlemen.

Then I hurried to find the magistrate. Since the county magistrate brought him here, he would naturally send him back even if he was a good man.

A time was agreed before, and knowing that Li Xiuping was going to take a stroll in the provincial capital, he purposely left the coachman waiting.

The county magistrate still needs to stay in the provincial capital for a few days. Since he is here, he must go to meet the governor and other adults in the province. The next rating assessment is coming soon.

Whether to stay in office or be promoted, Shangguan's review is very important. Since he came to the provincial capital and has such a good topic as the first name Jieyuan, the county magistrate must take the opportunity to stay in the provincial capital for a few more days.

And the future of the newly appointed Master Juren is boundless, the county magistrate will not offend him without winking, and specially arranged a carriage for him to send him back early.

And because it was specially arranged by the magistrate of the county, and there was a customs clearance document from the county magistrate, so when Li Xiuping rushed back to the county seat, there was still no twilight.

Afterwards, the coachman took him directly to the gate of the Li family's yard. As soon as he got off the bus, he saw his mother and his wife waiting at the gate.

Seeing Sanlang come back, Shi Shi was very happy, and took the little daughter-in-law to meet him.

Anyway, Sanlang went to the province to attend the banquet arranged by some official, so he must have eaten well, just drink some porridge tonight and take a rest.

After returning to the village to have a good banquet, Shi Shi is ready to save all the money for a big event, and to have a good time in the village.

In the end, seeing the gold bracelet that Sanlang bought for him, which was thicker than Qingqing's and heavier than Qingqing's, Shi Shi was very upset.

But in his mouth he said: "Oh, buy me any gold jewelry, you should dress up your wife well."

No wonder!
It is conceivable that Saburo from the Li family not only passed the Juren examination but also took the first place in the provincial examination. This news caused a great sensation in Hongqiao Village.

When Li Sanlang was admitted as a scholar before, the big guys just boasted casually. After all, they all knew that the old Li's family was purely sick.

The Zhongju is different, not to mention his village and his township, it is said that only Li Sanlang was admitted in the entire Anshun County this time.

A well-informed person came back and said that at that time, the yamen servants went to Li's house to announce the good news with drums and gongs, and the magistrate was still waiting to summon Li Sanlang.

It is said that he took Li Sanlang to the provincial capital with him, and attended a banquet held by the official family, all in all, he sounded very tall.

The one he said was so lifelike, as if he was there at the time.

But it did not prevent the villagers of Hongqiao Village from being very energetic, and all of them listened in shock with their mouths wide open.

Their old Li family has really surprised everyone too many times this year.

Before that, they moved quietly, and the whole family moved to the county town, and it is said that they will work hard there to earn money to continue to support Li Sanlang's studies and exams.

At that time, the people in the village still didn't take it seriously, thinking that they should have rented a house in the county town to do part-time work.

Who knew that people who had been to the county town came back and said that Lao Li's family bought a house there, and later bought a shop.

Later, Li Sanlang went to the provincial capital to take the exam, and won the exam.

This, the hearts of the people can no longer be described as envy. When the gap is too large, they can only look up to others, and only envy, jealousy and hatred are left.

Master Juren, who is only 16 years old, is the only junior in the entire county. Almost no one dares to believe this.

In Hongqiao Village, they were born and raised in the countryside, and the whole family has mud legs, except for old man Li who can do carpentry, so they live on a few acres of land.

His parents are illiterate, and his two elder brothers are also honest peasants. Apart from the married elder sister, there is also an honest younger sister left in the family.

It seems that no one can help. I studied with my husband in the village for two years, and then went to the town.

Or did he go to the county to study after being admitted as a scholar, and then went to the province to take the exam, and he passed the exam and was still No. 1?
The men are okay, just thinking about gritting their teeth and letting their sons go to school in the future;

Those women in the village, after thinking about it together, they are all about to go crazy.

I envy Shi's good fortune to give birth to such a capable son, but the one who is most jealous is Fang Qingqing, who was originally just a happy little lady but turned into a Juren lady?
At the beginning, even if some young ladies wanted to marry, they were stopped by their parents. If the girl married the man and died, it would really be the end of her life.
