Chapter 60
The next day.

Song Zhilin returned home early just to bring his wife back to the capital.

News of Song Zhilin's high school had already spread to the small county in Song Zhilin's hometown.

Upon hearing the news of Song Zhilin's return, several prominent figures in the county also hurriedly greeted him with flattery:
"Sir Song! The common people know that you are born to study! Now that you are in high school, you have really made our small county shine!!!" The leader's face was filled with a flattering and false smile, and he said, "The common people want to carve a stone tablet about you here!"

They still remember that when Song Zhilin was studying hard, a few of them came to laugh at Song Zhilin's house and laughed at him for saying that it was impossible for him to pass the palace examination. However, they did not expect that Song Zhilin would actually be so ambitious and become the number one scholar in the Zhou Dynasty today. He was also granted such a high official position by the emperor.

The few of them are now sweating profusely when they think of the stupid things they did back then, and they just hope that Song Zhilin can be noble and let them go.

After all, in the imperial court, Song Zhilin was only a minor official of the seventh rank, but in this small border town, even an official of the ninth rank was enough to scare them.

Not to mention that the height Song Zhilin has reached now is beyond their imagination.

But Song Zhilin didn't seem to hear it, he just bowed to everyone and walked towards home.

Opening the door, it was still the dilapidated hut in my memory: the hut had only four walls, but it was extremely clean. There was no dust on the walls and floor. There were dishes and chopsticks on the wooden table, and some vegetables were piled in the corner. You can see It turns out that although the owner of this house is poor, he loves neatness very much.

He had always lived here alone. He originally thought that after leaving home for four months, his home would be dilapidated and messy, but he didn't expect that it would be tidier than before he left.

No one can come in here except Xiaojia.

Xiaojia must have taken care of it for him.

Thinking of Xiaojia, his heart felt soft again, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of the Du family.

He lost his parents due to natural disasters when he was very young. Just when he was about to follow his parents, the young Xiaojia who was passing by acted like a spoiled child and asked his parents to save him and lived in the Du family for a while. .

The place where he lived before the scientific examination was the territory of the Du family.

Du Jia was the only daughter in the Du family, so she naturally doted on her very much. Seeing that her daughter was very happy, Song Zhilin, a nerd, also called someone to help them witness the marriage vows.

Xiaojia!Xiaojia! !

He really wants to see Xiaojia! ! !
Du's door.

Du Li, who was carrying water home, saw the anxious Song Zhilin. She quickly smiled, put down her burden, and walked towards Song Zhilin with a smile:
"Xiao Song, you are finally in high school now! Xiao Jia did not misjudge the person."

"Aunt Du." Song Zhilin quickly bowed respectfully, not looking down on the people who raised her, paid for her to attend private school, and paid for her to take scientific examinations just because her current status was different. The meaning of the Du family.

"Aunt Du, I'm here this time."

Before Song Zhilin could say anything, he was interrupted by Du Li. Du Li smiled gently, and then quickly pulled Song Zhilin into the house:
"Xiao Song, it's been a long time since I've been here. Xiao Jia misses you so much! Come in quickly, come in quickly, come in if you need anything!"

Song Zhilin followed Du Li into the house with an embarrassed look on his face.

Nothing has changed.

Song Zhilin sat on a bamboo chair, calmly looking at the cup of tea in front of him that Du Li prepared specially for him.

"Xiao Song, Auntie's place is not as good as the capital. This tea is already the best among us!"

Du Li smiled. "Auntie, Zhilin's visit this time has cost you a lot of money."

Hearing Du Li's relaxed words, Song Zhilin was shocked and quickly pushed the tea cup back.

Mrs. Du Li waved her hand generously and said with a smile: "What's the point! Tea is bought for people to drink! Try it quickly! Auntie go call Xiaojia first!"

Seeing Mrs. Du Li running away in a hurry, Song Zhilin picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip.

"Brother Zhilin!!!"

Song Zhilin didn't even have time to swallow his tea before he saw the girl he was longing for rush up and stand in front of him with a smile on her face.

Following Du Jia was Du Jia's father, Du Shengchang.

Du Shengchang first looked at his lively daughter with doting and helpless eyes, and said helplessly: "Okay, Xiaojia, girls should be quieter, but don't bluff anymore."

Du Jia stuck out his tongue and hid behind Song Zhilin.

Song Zhilin also protected Du Jia behind him with a doting look on his face and said, "Uncle Du, Xiao Jia has such a temper. When I came back today, I saw that uncle, aunt, and Xiao Jia are all well, so I felt relieved."

Du Shengchang looked at Song Zhilin back and forth again, with a satisfied look on his face, and said: "Yes, I know that a talented young man like you will have an immeasurable future!"

Du Jia interrupted again: "Dad, of course Brother Zhilin is great! Now Brother Zhilin is even more powerful than you, Dad!"

"Xiao Jia!!!" Du Shengchang scolded her again, and Du Jia reluctantly shut up.

"Uncle Du, Zhilin will always remember the influence and kindness you, Aunt, and Xiaojia have had on Zhilin."

Song Zhilin said humbly.

Du Shengchang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Our Du family has raised you for so many years, and it is a great honor for you to be able to enter the palace examination. We have long regarded you as our biological child, so what kind of favor is there? "

Du Shengchang added: "It is widely rumored that after a poor boy becomes the number one scholar, aristocratic families will come to marry him. Not long after I learned about your high school, I was still worried about this problem and whether you would be forced by the situation. There." Du Shengchang patted Song Zhilin on the shoulder with a look of relief and said, "Now that I see it, you have done really well! Seeing that you are not only willing to come back this time, but also alone, my uncle is satisfied!"

"I can safely leave Xiaojia to you!!!"

Hearing Du Shengchang's words, Du Jia's face turned into an apple. She turned to her father and said coquettishly: "Dad!!!"

Song Zhilin was obviously a little embarrassed. He silently rubbed the edge of the teacup with his thumb, not knowing what to say.

Du Shengchang laughed loudly and said: "Xiaojia, what's so embarrassing about this! Zhilin is the pride of our Du family. Even as the father-in-law, I am proud of Zhilin."

After hearing her husband's words, Mrs. Du Li nodded affirmatively.

"Thank you father-in-law and mother-in-law for your love." Song Zhilin also admitted coyly, and also told the story about how Taifu Lin and Young Madam Zhongyong Hou brought Princess Yongchang to ask Emperor Shunhe to grant him a marriage with Princess Yongchang. Again.

After listening, everyone present frowned.
