Chapter 106
An Yanshu got up to salute, with a sincere face: "Thank you, Grandpa Liao, for your words, and Yanshu will remember it."

Just as the two siblings walked out of the study, they bumped into An Chongyuan who was coming.

An Zhinan stepped forward, smiled and said, "Father, why are you here?"

An Chongyuan looked at his daughter lovingly and said loudly: "Your master asked me to invite Mr. Liao to eat at home."

After finishing speaking, An Chongyuan stepped into the study room, and greeted Mr. Liao with his brother and sister walking home, Xing Yi followed closely behind.

Looking at the sumptuous lunch at the dinner table, Mr. Liao laughed: "What day is it today? Why is it so rich? But is there someone from Fucheng?"

Old man An looked pale and shook his head: "No one has come to the house yet, just thinking that I haven't eaten these for a long time, so let the old lady make a meal, let's eat."

After hearing the words, Mr. Liao stopped asking, everyone could tell that Mr. An had something on his mind. As for what, he could read An Yan's book beside him to know.

"Old Liao, come on, let's go two and one. The two children in the family need you to take care of them. If you need a place to settle down in the future, just ask." Shaking slightly, his eyes were blurred.

Old Liao smiled and nodded, and raised his glass to Old Man An: "Don't talk about those polite words, Nan Nan is a disciple I know personally, Yan Shu is not bad, he is hard-working and talented, it's just a matter of convenience. "

After lunch, old man An managed to drink too much, and fell asleep on the dining table, unable to move anyone.

Mrs. An didn't care about him, she took out a coat from the house and put it on Mrs. An and went to wash the dishes.

The rest of the people were sitting in the main room drinking tea and chatting. Just as they were talking about An Zhinan practicing martial arts very hard recently, there was a noise outside, and soon someone knocked on the door.

An Chongyuan was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up when he thought of something, he slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, could it be that Yanshu's grades came out? I'll go and have a look."

The others got up immediately, and even Mr. Liao walked slowly behind them.

As soon as An Chongyuan opened the door, he saw Village Chief Qi and other villagers standing outside the house, with two officers and soldiers standing in front of them, all with smiles on their faces.

One of the officers and soldiers stepped forward: "This is An Yan's calligrapher? Is Mr. An here?"

An Yanshu stepped forward from behind and bowed slightly: "I'm really An Yanshu, may I ask, but the results of the provincial examination have come out?"

"Yes, yes, as soon as we got the results, we two brothers rushed to announce the congratulations. Congratulations, Young Master Yanshu, you are the first such young candidate in our Dale Town. Congratulations."

Everyone in the An family was overjoyed.

Village head Qi took a step forward, smiled and said, "Yanshu, the emperor pays off, congratulations."

"Congratulations, Yanshu, you have won honor for our Ping'an Village, how honorable it is to say it."

"No, Yanshu is really good. By the way, what about your grandfather? Why doesn't he come out for such a big happy event?"

Everyone praised me with a glance, and when the old man An was mentioned, the others realized that he hadn't seen him.

An Yanshu smiled slightly: "Grandpa drank too much at noon and is resting in the house. Thank you for coming to bring the letter. It's been a hard journey. Let's go home and have a cup of hot tea."

The two were worried that they couldn't find an excuse to keep their friendship, An Yanshu's words hit his heart, he nodded without thinking, and followed Mrs. An and others into the house.

An Chongyuan said loudly to the villagers who hadn't left yet: "In a few days our family will celebrate my son's Yanshu ceremony, and all the villagers should remember to come. We still have to entertain the officials today, so we won't stay here. "

"It's easy to talk, Zhong Yuan, go and greet the guests."

"That's right, Chong Yuan, I really gave birth to a good son, good luck lies ahead."

After everyone finished speaking, they left. An Chongyuan stopped the village chief who was also leaving, and stepped forward: "Village chief, my father is drunk, can I trouble you to sit at home?"

Qi Cunyi smiled and nodded: "It's easy to say, let's go."

When they returned to the main room, the officers and soldiers froze for a moment when they saw Old Man An who was sleeping soundly.

"My lords, forgive me, but no one can help me, an old man, who is too drunk," said Mrs. An apologetically.

"it's okay no problem."

Afterwards Mrs. An led Chen Jingrong to pour tea. An Zhongyuan stood there in a state of confusion and did not speak. He looked at Mr. Liao and then at the two officers and soldiers, not knowing who to invite.

On the contrary, Mr. Liao made a gesture of please, and then sat on the chair on the left.

An Zhinan and Xingyi stood beside Mr. Liao silently.

The two officers and soldiers didn't know the identity of Mr. Liao, so they sat up naturally.

One of them looked at An Yanshu, and said with a flattering expression: "An Juren, our lord has prepared a table at Jujuzhai tomorrow afternoon, please invite Juren's family to have a light meal, and hope that Juren will reward you."

An Yanshu glanced at Old Liao, saw him nodding, and then responded: "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders, and it will cost you money."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, the two officers and soldiers smiled even more.

"Ju Ren? What Ju Ren?" Old Man An suddenly raised his head from the dining table, staring blankly at the people in the main room, and didn't come back to his senses for a while.

Old Liao laughed: "What else can you do, your grandson won the exam."

The old man An instantly got up, his eyes widened as if he had just heard a hallucination, and he continued to ask: "Did you mention it in the inkstone book? Did you mention it in the inkstone book!"

"Otherwise, are you sober? Come and greet the guests when you wake up."

Old Man An looked at the two officers and soldiers in the upper seat, and smiled instantly. He walked forward and said, "Thank you two adults for bringing the letter."

"Where is it? Anju was elected at a young age, and the news spread in the town. My lord likes to make friends with talented people. He specially prepares a table of wine and food in Jujuzhai. I will wait for you at noon tomorrow. I think you still have a lot to say. I won't bother you any longer, and I'll take my leave."

"This old man will send the two adults off," said Old Man An, who kept up with the two of them, and was held back by Mrs. An when he walked out of the main room.

"You will give these two taels of silver to the two adults later. It's hard work, don't forget." Weighing the silver in his hand, Old Man An nodded with a smile: "I know."

After seeing off the two officers and soldiers, Old Man An entered the room with a smile on his face, looking at his eldest grandson with radiant eyes.

"Yan Shu, well done, it has brought honor to our old An family."

An Yanshu rubbed the shoulders that had been slapped by his grandfather, stood up and bowed to a few people: "I am also doing my best, I am able to pass thanks to the support of my grandparents, parents, younger brothers and sisters, without you I can't devote myself wholeheartedly." , and Grandpa Liao, if Grandpa Liao hadn’t taught him several times, Zhongju would be a fool’s dream.”

Old Liao chuckled, his eyes filled with relief: "You deserve this. Now that you have passed the provincial examination, the palace examination will be next. Are you confident?"

"Yes, after the beginning of spring, it's time to go back to Fucheng to prepare for the palace examination. I thought that instead of going back to the academy, I would go for a walk and see the customs and customs of various places, so as to increase my knowledge so that I can better prepare for the palace examination."
