The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 277 Good News
Half a month later, Ning received the first letter from Su Chengzhi from the capital after the general examination.

The letter told Ning that he is now living in the Duke of Zhen's mansion, and has met the Duke of Zhen and his wife, as well as his aunt. Both the Duke of Zhen and his mother are very kind to him, which makes him feel the love from his relatives. warmth.

Of course, I have to talk about the situation of the exam. I didn’t mention what happened in front of the Gongyuan before and after the exam. I probably didn’t want to worry Ning Shi. Thinking about it, waiting for his good news at home with peace of mind, did not mean to urge them to go to Beijing.

Of course, at the end of the letter, he still mentioned the suggestion of Zhen Guogong, his wife and his aunt, but he was still considering it, but he also reminded Ning to be ready to go to Beijing at any time.

Su Chengzhi's letter came through the post station, so naturally it cannot be compared with Lu Jinkang's special channel. It took [-] days on the road before it was delivered to his home.

On the second day after receiving Su Chengzhi's letter, there was a sudden burst of lively gongs and drums in Geshan Village.

At first, Su Yunduo thought it was someone's wedding, but when the sound of gongs and drums got closer, he realized that it should be the government's announcement of good news.

Fortunately, Su Yunduo prepared the happy money early, so he didn't appear to be in a hurry.

When Ning learned that Su Chengzhi was ranked fifth in the Mid-Autumn Festival, she was so happy that she burst into tears, and she carried a small basket full of peanuts and melon seeds and scattered them around.

As long as you don't make big mistakes in the spring list, you are at least a fellow Jinshi, not to mention fifth in the spring list, so you can be a Jinshi.

Thinking of the Zuo brothers who went to Beijing with Su Chengzhi to rush for the exam, when Su Yunduo gave the happy money, he specifically asked the messenger who reported the letter, but the guard didn't seem to be very clear and said: "There are more than ten people in our Yanshan Mansion participating in the exam this year. There are five people who were selected, and it is not clear whether the Zuo surname that the girl inquired will be selected."

But the guard next to him gave him a slight push: "What are you doing so stupid?! Don't we have to go to Xiushui County to announce the good news? Isn't the one selected in Xiushui County the surname Zuo?!"

The guard scratched his head earlier, a little embarrassed: "Hey, I was confused, Xiushui County won two this time, and one is called Zuo... Zuo..."

After waiting for a long time, he still failed to report his name, but the officer added later: "It's called Zuo Er."

In this way, Zuo Ying failed the list, but it is not bad for the two brothers to win one. Zuo Ying is only in his early twenties this year, and he should be considered relatively young in the competition for Chunwei. As long as conditions permit It should be perfectly fine to wait for Chunwei in three, six, or even nine years.

It's just that Zuo Ying may not be able to continue his studies in the Zuo family's situation, but he can still seek an official position.

The guards had to go to Xiushui County to announce the good news. They drank wedding tea and wedding wine at Su's house and got a lot of wedding money, and went to Toushui County with drums and gongs.

Although the sound of gongs and drums faded away, the bustle of Geshan Village did not stop.

In and out of the Su family courtyard, beaming folks surrounded Ning and said congratulations, and when the one asked when the wine would be held, Ning, who was beaming with joy, directly set the time for the celebration banquet: "I invite the folks to drink in the future, everyone must Come!"

Naturally, everyone wants to drink this kind of wedding wine, which is called "Zhanxi".

In fact, Su Yunduo doesn't want to invite wine now, after all, he hasn't passed the palace test yet, but since the Ning family has let go, Su Yunduo has no choice but to follow Ning's idea to organize this celebration banquet, and invite all the villagers to congratulate Su Cheng Zhi will try to take the joy of Zhong.

Looking at the construction site on the mountain, in the field and on the river beach, Su Yunduo gritted his teeth and decided to hold the running water mat for three consecutive days.

The news that Su Chengzhi would take fifth place in the senior high school spring rankings naturally spread to Heishui Town very quickly. The Ning family closed their thriving shop, and the whole family arrived in a mule cart.

Ning Zhongping had received the news a long time ago, but at that time he was bringing the convoy back from the border town to deliver saltpeter, so he could only keep the good news in his heart and enjoy himself for a long time, and even specially added a dish to the convoy to express his gratitude To celebrate.

Ning Zhongping had just returned home today when he heard gongs and drums to announce the good news outside. He specially instructed the clever Ning Huaan to inquire about the news. When he learned that the guards had gone to Geshan Village to announce the good news, the whole family was so happy that they didn't even do business and closed the door. The shop family came to Geshan Village in a mighty way.

Ning Zhongping happened to have a few days to rest when he came back from a long business trip, so he even brought Shen Shi and the baby to Geshan Village, just in time to ask the old doctor to ask the mother and son for a safe pulse.

When we arrived at Geshan Village, we found out that the Ning family had already decided to hold a running banquet for three consecutive days after two days. After a family discussion, the old couple of the Ning family, Ning Zhongping and Shen's mother and son stayed temporarily to help Ning and Su Yunduo.

Ning Zhongshi and his wife had a meal at Su's house, and then took their children back to Heishui Town. Although Su Chengzhi's high school was a happy event, it was not good to close the shop for several days in a row.

Since there is a feast to be held, it is natural to do it well and decently. There is no shortage of chicken, duck and fish. Su Yunduo even brought out fifty preserved eggs.

In order not to let people see what it is, I specially cut preserved eggs into small cubes and made tofu into cold preserved egg tofu. The unique flavor of this dish makes every table sold out. It is the most popular dish besides big fish and meat. A welcome dish.

For this running water banquet, Ning's also worked hard, insisting that Su Yunduo not pay any money, emptied the private house that had been saved for more than a year, and made this running water banquet a prosperous one.

Looking at Ning Shi who was smiling and furious, Su Yunduo had the illusion that Ning Shi was also pierced.

Of course this is impossible!

"Sister, you're tired, come and sit down." Ning Shi took the time to come over to talk with the Ning family, and Shen Shi hurriedly pulled her to sit down.

"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, my heart has never been so bright as it is today!" Ning's eyes were shining brightly at this moment, who was always gentle.

After being busy for a long time, she really didn't show much tiredness on her face.

After hearing this, Fang shook her head, pointed at Ning and cursed with a smile, "You finally understand!"

"My mother is in high spirits on happy occasions!" Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan said in unison.

Ning gave her sons and daughters an angry look: "Don't be so talkative, hurry up and treat the guests!"

Just in time, another group of guests came, before Su Yunduo and Su Zexuan stood up, Ning Shi had already greeted them with Ning Zhongping.

Fang Shi looked at Ning Shi's back and said to Su Yunduo: "If your mother can really maintain the state of today, I can feel relieved when you go to Beijing."

Su Yunduo just smiled and said nothing.

The water in the capital city is very deep. For a person like Ning who can only barely float in the water, Fang's reassurance was too early.

However, today's Ning family really impressed Su Yunduo. If she can maintain this state and have someone around her, she will be able to deal with it gradually. I hope that the capital can prepare such a person for Ning family!
