Wear ancient times with a house

Chapter 299 Good News
Song Yun quickly turned her head to look, and saw Chen Chunhua standing at the door of the house with a purse in her arms. It was obvious that Song Yun was too excited and threw it on the ground, and she picked it up.

But the Song family had a big happy event, and Chen Chunhua was afraid of disturbing them, so she could not enter or retreat, so she stood at the door.

Song Yun waved his hand and said:
"Sister Chunhua, come here quickly, the announcer will come in soon, don't you want to watch the excitement? And we have to use our wallets to reward people."

Almost as soon as Chen Chunhua walked over, there was a knock on the courtyard door, and Huber, who was closest to the gate, quickly opened the door before anyone outside could call the door.

Sure enough, it was the little official who came to announce the good news, followed by the gong and drum team, three or five people, with red strings tied around their waists, were beating gongs and drums with gusto.

Accompanied by such hustle and bustle, the loud and clear voice of the newspaper spread to the ears of the people in the whole courtyard:
"Good News - Master Song Nian of Liyang County, Jinzhou Prefecture, the No. 70 eight tributes of the Yiwei Annual Examination of High School, the top saint of the Golden Luan Hall!"

It's not over yet, here's more:

"Great news——Wang Qi, the county lord of Liyang County, Jinzhou Prefecture, the No. 90 six tributes in the Yiwei Annual Examination of High School, the holy one above the Golden Luan Hall!"

Song Nian only felt the sound of heartbeats in his ears. He opened his eyes and saw the little official in front of him shouting the good news with a smile on his face, but he felt dizzy and couldn't hear clearly. Only then did my hearing come back.

Wang Qi was similar, although he got the news from Huber, but in such a situation, his eyes skipped over the beaming faces of relatives, neighbors, and the Annunciation Team all over the yard, and he still felt a sense of unreality.

Shen Shi was the first to react, knowing that she had to go to someone else's house, she hurriedly asked her daughter to go back and get some money to distribute reward money.

She was too anxious, dizzy, and didn't even notice that Chen Chunhua, who was next to her, obviously had a lot of purses in her arms.

Song Yun took it from Chen Chunhua's hand, and while distinguishing the color of the suit, said to Shen in a low voice:
"Mother, these two have the most money, these few have the middle amount of money, and the rest are relatively small. Look at the distribution."

In fact, it is best to let the man in the family do this kind of thing, or the manservant, so that he can exchange some pleasantries with him and inquire about the situation by the way.

But isn't there a vacancy in the family now? After thinking about it, Shen decided to give this opportunity to the eldest son, thinking that he is not young anymore, so he should know more about things like this.

Song Ce was caught off guard and became the person who shouldered the heavy burden of communication. He didn't have stage fright, so he asked his younger brother to follow him with a purse, and then the two brothers cooperated tacitly to distribute the reward money.

The person who announced the good news didn't stay too long, took the money, said a few more obedient words, and then left. They still have to go outside the city. Some tributes live far away and have to give the good news to the People send it over.

The person who announced the good news left, but the neighbors crowded together and stood still in the yard. The men congratulated each other, and the women huddled around Mrs. Song and Mrs. Chen and talked nicely. The son and grandson who entered the school pulled over, wanting to get a taste of culture.

Even the Chen family stood in a corner to join in the fun.

For the time being, we can't entertain the neighbors with a banquet, after all, Song Nian and the others still have a palace exam, but it's okay to distribute some candies to sweeten everyone's mouths.

This was specially bought a few days ago. Dried fruit, candied fruit, and candied dried fruit, plus some that were bought during the Chinese New Year but were not finished, were mixed together, and a handful was enough for each person.

After finally sending the crowd away, Wang Qi and his son also left, and the Song family closed the courtyard.

The happy news was placed on the incense table, and the tablets of the elders were placed on the left and right. Song Nian lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner, and the whole family knelt down quietly, thanking the ancestors for their blessings, and hoped that they would continue to bless Song Nian in the palace examination.

Zhao Yanlin, who finally got out of the excitement and received the good news, came over.

Although his brother's failure made him feel a little melancholy, but it was expected.

Song Nian and the others didn't know it, but Zhao Yanlin knew it very well. From the second exam, Zhao Yanze always went in vertically and came out horizontally, and never finished the paper in a healthy and healthy manner.

Under such circumstances, how could it be possible to expect him to take the exam without being affected.

It can only be said that many scholars in this era do not have a clear understanding of the phrase "the body is the capital of the revolution", and at critical moments, those who lose the chain appear.

As long as they come to run twice a day in the morning and evening, so many scholars will not get sick as soon as they take the exam.

Zhao Yanlin got 37th place in the exam. This ranking can be said to be relatively stable.

Like Wang Qi, there are still more than 50 people who are at the end of the crane, which is relatively hanging.

After all, due to factors such as poor performance in the test, poor test questions, illness during the test, etc., there will still be a gap of dozens or even hundreds of people in the results of some people. If they perform well in the palace test, they may not be able to squeeze Wang Qi down. .

Song Nian received blessings from several families at the place where he was sent. Besides Zhao Yanlin and others, there were also some people who came to the capital to meet, such as the Qi family, Zhao Hanlin's old friends, the chief steward of the capital branch of Jinwangfu, and even A servant sent by Master Tang's eldest brother.

Even the landlord came over once and insisted on refunding Song Nian's one-month rent to thank Song Nian for improving the value of the house after passing the exam.

One month's rent is not much, but it is also people's wishes.

It's just that Song Nian really didn't want to accept the money. The family is not bad, so if you accept it, you will be criticized; but if you don't accept it, the landlord is still a little uneasy.

Yes, the landlord is afraid of being hated.

In fact, it’s not a big deal at all, it’s just that as the scientific examination is approaching, the rent in the capital has ushered in a wave of skyrocketing. Although the landlord signed a contract with the Song family, he can earn more. Offered a price increase.

The family was afraid that Song Nian's studies would be affected, and there were not many yards in the remote area of ​​the capital at that time, so they had to temporarily increase the rent.

Now that Song Nian has passed the exam, the landlord is a little scared.

In the end, Song Nian still accepted it, but he planned to leave it to the neighbor next door when he left, so that the other party would give it to the landlord at that time.

In this way, the family does not need to take advantage of the landlord, nor will it make the landlord feel uneasy.

Another point is that if someone really tried to trick Song Nian with such a trivial matter, the neighbors would be ready witnesses.

Although they are only Gongsheng students, the palace examination does not eliminate talents, but the ranking is different, there is a difference between first, second and third.

Therefore, Song Nian is right to say that he has a certain Jinshi status and a future official status.

His thoughts changed quickly, and he quickly realized that stepping into an official career is like walking on thin ice, and he has to pay attention to even a small mistake, otherwise today's slack will be tomorrow's blade.
