The Pastoral Medicinal Fragrance of the Imperial Concubine

Chapter 356 Three Elements and Section (3)
Only then did Hao Shi come back to his senses, and hurried forward.

"Old lady, right? We are here to announce the good news, Mr. Ling won the number one prize!" The official smiled and offered the good news with both hands.

Hao Shi hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "This official, is my Chen Yi okay?"

The official said with a smile: "Of course it's good, he's on his way now, but the number one scholar is passing through the border, and everyone has to receive him, so he came back late, so we are asked to come back to announce the good news!"

Only then did Hao feel relieved, and quickly took the happy news over, and invited the official to sit inside.

The official refused to do it, saying that he had to go to another house to deliver the good news.

Hao quickly turned around, and stuffed the tael of silver that Hao Dan had just given into the hand of the official, "This official, my daughter-in-law is not at home, and there is only these silver at home. Don't dislike it, you first Take it, if there is a chance in the future, I will ask Chen Yi to give it to you again!"

The official weighed it secretly, and found that one tael of silver was indeed a bit small, but hearing Hao's sincerity, he said, "It's not too little, it's all right if you want it!"

Hao quickly sent the man out the door.

Outside the door, Yu Xiuman set off another firecracker.

Everyone in the village laughed happily.

All of a sudden, there is a champion in Taiping Village. What is the champion? Sanyuan Jidi, such a character, can be counted in the Celestial Dynasty!
Surrounded by the villagers, Hao didn't know whether he was dreaming or real.

Just a moment ago, she thought that Hao Ren's identity had been exposed, and she was determined to die, and she must keep Hao Ren safe, but the next moment, she became the first wife!

"Hao Ren's family is back!" Suddenly, someone shouted from outside.

The surrounding villagers immediately moved out of the way, and saw Leng Ping and Li Jiu walking over with their horses.

"Mother, I saw the team that announced the good news. Master Yan is right. Hao Ren is fine. He won the first prize. It was a misunderstanding!" Leng Ping hurried forward, grabbed Hao's hand and said loudly.

"Ping'er, you hold my hand hard, why do I think it's a dream?" Hao said in a low voice, his eyes dimmed.

Leng Ping was taken aback, and quickly shook Hao's hand firmly, saying, "Mother, it's true, my uncle made a mistake, and someone else was imprisoned, not Hao Ren!"

Hao Shi felt the pain, and heard Leng Ping say this with her own ears, her misty eyes finally gradually became clear.

"Dan'er, Hua'er, your elder brother is fine, it's fine!" Hao Shi turned around and hugged Hao Dan and Hua'er, saying joyfully.

She didn't care if the champion was not selected, she wanted Hao Ren to be safe, she wanted to be safe!
Hao Dan and Hua'er hugged Hao Shi's leg, Hao Shi looked back, hugged Leng Ping and said, "Ping'er, Hao Ren is fine, it's fine, don't worry!"

Being hugged by Hao Shi like this, Leng Ping also felt her eyes wet. The sad words that Hao Shi said about Hao Ren earlier disappeared in an instant!
The villagers had been busy at Hao's house for a long time before going out. After going out, Yu Xiuman called the men from each household to the ancestral hall for a meeting.

In the ancestral hall, the [-]-year-old clan elder leaned on a walking stick, opened his mouth with no teeth, and smiled from ear to ear.

Not only the elders of the clan, but even the master Jinshi from Dongjia Village, the largest village nearby, also came.

Dongjia Village is the largest village with a radius of ten miles. It is not only big, but also has a long history and rich cultural heritage. It is incomparable to Taiping Village and Lengjia Village, which were built in recent years.

There is a Jinshi master in Dongjia Village, surnamed Dong, called Dong Duannian, who has been a Jinshi for 50 years in the Celestial Dynasty. He is 40 years old this year, and he returned to Ding You because of his mother's death.

It is said that this Jinshi master held an important position when he was in Tiancheng, but after he returned to his hometown, he has been living in seclusion, and no matter who asks to see him, he will never see him.

Master Yunshen once went to ask to see this master Jinshi, but this master Dong still disappeared.

Master Dong meant that since Ding You was at home, he had to abide by his duties, which showed how cautious and low-key he was.

Now there is a 14-year-old champion in Taiping Village. The good news is here!

At this moment, the clan elders were talking to Master Dong respectfully, and Yu Xiuman came in with people who could make the decisions.

That Master Dong also took the opportunity to leave.

The clan elder hurriedly asked his grandson to help him, and personally sent it out.

Yu Xiuman had never met that old master Dong before, seeing that the clan elders were so respectful, he naturally didn't dare to be negligent, everyone surrounded him and sent him away first.

After Master Dong left, Yu Xiuman also took the opportunity to step forward and ask, "Grandpa Clan, who is this?"

The clan elder raised his hand and slapped Yu Xiuman on the head hard: "This is Master Dong from Dongjia Village. He came back to Ding You. You don't even know him?"

When Yu Xiuman heard this, he felt regretful at the time. This Mr. Dong is a character, even the county master would never see him. He never imagined that such a good opportunity would be wasted!

"Master Dong is a person who loves talents. This time, I heard that our village has a number one scholar. He came to have a look and see if there is anything missing, so just talk to him!" This Master Dong did not go to Hao's house, Instead, he came to look for the elder of the clan. It can be seen that he is high-spirited and upright. He didn't intend to win the champion of the new department, but just a little heart as a neighbor!
Yu Xiuman immediately said: "I called the old and young men of the village to the ancestral hall for this reason. The number one scholar is coming back. Naturally, it is a big event in the village. We have to discuss how to welcome him!"

The clan elder nodded and said: "Master Dong brought 50 taels of silver and a few bolts of high-quality silk and satin. You spend them and send the rest to the Hao family. This is Master Dong's wish!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuman nodded quickly.

Ten days later, Hao Ren arrived at Taiping Village.

Along the way, Hao Ren finally understood what it meant to be greeted in the streets. Every time he passed a town, the big officials received him, and the small officials fawned on him. He didn't want to be so ostentatious, but he couldn't help himself.

He now has four guards sent by the imperial court and a guard of honor by his side. No matter where he goes, people will know his whereabouts.

This stop and go, wasted too much time.

Hao Ren arrived at Taiping Village around noon. For the past few days, the Hao family went to visit the village every day, and Yu Xiuman also sent someone to the inner city to inquire. So when Hao Ren came back, everyone in the village knew about it. , all stood at the entrance of the village to greet them.

Taiping Village is not too big, with only fifty or so households, but the whole village is mobilized.

Many people also came from the surrounding villages.
