Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 141 Firmness
Mao Mingxuan changed into a moon-white robe in the room and went to the main courtyard.

But Mrs. Chen was so happy in the room that she didn't know what to do.

"Go and prepare a big purse. It will be ready when the official who announces the good news is here. Then I will buy firecrackers and put them away later. Also, let the kitchen buy some good things. I will reward Mingxuan tonight. By the way , and then go to make a pot of good wine for the master to drink at night." Chen said and said: "By the way, and all the people in our house will reward you with two months of monthly silver! Three months!"

"Madam, please sit down and let Furong redress first." Nanny Wu smiled and said, "You asked Eldest Young Master to change clothes, and you should also change yourself."

"That's right, ma'am. Let Qiangwei and the others take care of these things, and the servant will help you change your clothes first." Furong laughed.

Both Fu Rong and Qiang Wei served by Mrs. Chen's side.

"Okay, okay, you all go and make arrangements." Chen smiled and sat down in front of the dressing table.

The little tiger over there has already gone to the barracks.

"Master Garrison, someone has come to your house." A soldier called Mao Chengyun.He is exercising martial arts with soldiers.

"Practice first, and I'll come as soon as I go." Mao Chengyun wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the soldiers.

"My lord, the list is released today, there is good news from the house!" a soldier said.

The township examination is a big event, and Jiangnan is a place where there are many talents.So there are many people in Yangzhou who pay attention to this matter.Even in the barracks, some people talked about it.Literati and military generals often don't get along, but they care about each other.

Mao Chengyun usually has no airs, and he always gets along with the soldiers.Therefore, many soldiers knew that the young master who guarded the adults was good at reading, and this time he also participated in Qiuwei.

Mao Chengyun hadn't thought of it just now.Now after being reminded by the soldiers, I also remembered it.Quickly quickened the pace.

As soon as he came out of the martial arts training ground, he saw Xiao Huzi standing there with a happy face looking around, and he couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"Master, the young master has won the prize!" Little Huzi shouted excitedly when he saw Mao Chengyun from a distance.

His voice was quite loud, and everyone near the martial arts training ground heard his muttering, and they all congratulated Mao Chengyun.

Mao Chengyun also had a happy expression on his face. Although he said modest words, he was very proud in his heart!Although Mao Chengyun is a big boss, but his son is up to the challenge!It's amazing to get a Jieyuan as soon as the game is played!

"Take everyone to drink another day! I'll go home first!" Mao Chengyun cupped his hands at everyone.

"My lord, hurry up! I'm afraid that all the good news will come to the door now!" Everyone also laughed loudly.

When Mao Chengyun hurried all the way to the gate of the mansion, he saw that there were firecrackers and gongs and drums beating at the gate again. It was so lively and full of onlookers!
Mao Mingxuan supported Mrs. Chen to stand at the door, welcoming the official who announced the good news into the mansion.

"Congratulations to Mrs. Bing, congratulations to Mr. Mao, this time Qiu Wei has won Xie Yuan!" The officer's face was also full of joy.

"Come in for a cup of tea, come in for a cup of tea!" Chen said with a smile.

The official was not polite, and followed Mrs. Chen into the mansion.Mao Chengyun also hurriedly pushed through the crowd to the door of the house, and quickly chased him in.

As soon as Chen asked the official to sit down, Mao Chengyun walked in quickly.

"Master is back! Just right! Just right!" Chen Shi said.

"Congratulations, Lord Guard!" The official also quickly stood up and cupped his hands at Mao Chengyun.

Mao Chengyun also hurriedly said polite words, and Chen took out the purse he had prepared a long time ago and stuffed it into the hands of the official.

The official smiled and stuffed it into his armhole, and said more auspicious words as if he didn't want money.

After sending off the official messenger, Mao Chengyun looked at Mao Mingxuan's calm expression and was filled with emotion, but in the end he just patted him on the shoulder and was speechless.

"Ama, my son will work harder!" Mao Mingxuan said.The goals he set for himself were far more than this.

"Don't get tired." Chen said distressedly.It's a good thing for a son to strive for success, but as a mother-in-law, she loves her son even more because he studies hard every day under the lamp.

"It's a good thing to have ambition!" Mao Chengyun encouraged, "Knowing what you want is the best way to work towards your goal."

That night, the family sat around the table, looking at the table full of rich dishes, with uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

"Chunwei will be after next year, when will Mingxuan set off for Beijing?" Chen asked a very crucial question.

If you leave too late, you will be in a hurry on the road.If there is another unexpected situation, it is easy to miss the exam time.

"Why don't you go to Beijing in winter before the weather turns cold. I'll write a letter to my third brother first. It's better for Mingxuan to get used to it earlier." Chen said again.

"Trouble uncle again?" Mao Mingxuan frowned slightly.Mao Tongtong had troubled his uncle for a year last year, and this time it will take another half a year for him to go.Although he is a real uncle, after all, he seldom sees him, so he always feels embarrassed when he is bothering him.

"Your child, your relative. Your uncle won't mind." Chen said.She knew that her younger siblings, Su Shi, were not very welcome.But Mao Mingxuan's visit this time was different from Mao Tongtong's situation last year.

Last year, Mao Tongtong and Chen Ruyu drafted together. In a sense, the two are in a competitive relationship.

But this time Mao Mingxuan passed, if he wins the exam, the third brother's family will also be honored.Su Shi is a smart person, so he wouldn't fail to think of these things.

Mao Chengyun also nodded, and said: "I want to go earlier. It only takes half a year, and it takes almost a month to walk on the road. If it gets colder, the canal will reach the dry season, and it will be much harder to go to the capital by land. Your uncle The connections in the capital are always stronger than ours, and you can also find out who this year's chief examiner is in advance, so you can study the examiner's preferences in advance."

"That son won't be able to celebrate the New Year in Yangzhou this year." Mao Mingxuan said.In fact, he just didn't want to go to the capital too early.

But if I really have to wait until the next year to go to the capital, the time is indeed quite rushed.After all, Chunwei's first exam was on the ninth day of February.

"There is no way for the exam. Who told us to stay away from the capital!" Chen said.

Speaking of the capital, the three of them all thought of Mao Tongtong in the palace.It is a pity that such good news cannot be shared with her.

Chen and Mao Chengyun discussed for a while, and finally decided that Mao Chengyun would contact the ship to Beijing first, ready to set off at any time.

That night, Mao Chengyun got drunk happily.Seeing Mrs. Chen helping him into the back room, Mao Mingxuan also went back to his own room.

Sitting in front of the window and taking out the letter Mao Tongtong wrote last time, a smile appeared on the corner of Mao Mingxuan's mouth.

If Mao Tongtong were here today, he would jump up happily, hugging him and shouting: "My big brother is the best!"

She will also cook by herself, making her best braised pork for him to eat.

Looking down at the purse embroidered by Mao Tongtong on his waist, Mao Mingxuan's eyes became extra firm.
