pastoral fragrance

Chapter 251
Before the carriage arrived, a burst of crackling firecrackers sounded.At this time, other farmers heard the movement and came to stand on the road to watch.Amidst all the discussions, two medium-sized men got out of the carriage, smiling all over their faces.The two walked side by side to the courtyard of Qiulin's house.

The middle-aged man in front kept smiling, and asked respectfully to Mrs. Han: "Madam, may I ask if this is Xu Nanshan's home?"

Seeing this situation, Han looked a little dumbfounded, and nodded slowly. "Yes, I don't know what the two big brothers said..."

Mrs. Han's words were soon overshadowed by the laughter of those two people, and they said in unison in ecstasy: "Madam, I am so happy. Your family Qiu Song has passed the examination. We are here to announce the good news. Madam, congratulations!"

Looking at the ecstatic expressions of those two people, it seemed as if they had passed the Juren examination.

As soon as those two people said these words, Han Shi was even more frightened and dumbfounded for a long time without opening his mouth, looking dumbfounded.The two looked at each other, looked at each other suspiciously, and called again: "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

Qiuyue Qiulin also quickly tugged at Han's skirt, which brought Han back to his senses.A huge surprise rose from the bottom of my heart, and the smile on my face couldn't be restrained, revealing rows of neat and white teeth.Han was so happy that she couldn't find Bei, "Really, Qiu Song is really promising!" She stomped her feet twice, but the agitation in her heart still couldn't calm down.All I know is grinning, and when I smile, tears will fall from my nose, and weep with joy.

Seeing this, Qiuyue knew that her mother was still immersed in joy at the moment.He quickly calmed down his agitated mood, and said to the two uncles with a smile on his face: "You two uncles, thank you for making this trip. Come in and drink two cups of tea to quench your thirst. It's a hot day."

The two men cupped their hands towards Qiuyue, "Miss, don't bother. We still have to announce the good news to other candidates, so don't worry about it."

At this time, Qiulin ran into the house, took two pieces of silver, and handed them to the elder sister.Qiuyue stuffed the pieces of silver into the hands of the two people respectively, and said gratefully: "Thank you for spreading the word, you have worked hard along the way, this is happy money, don't dislike it, take it."

The reason why these two came to announce the good news before Qiu Song came back was to ask for the happy money.Holding the scraps of silver in their hands, the smiles on the corners of their mouths widened. The households they left before didn't spend so much money.The two of them were naturally very happy. After saying a lot of auspicious words, they held the silver and waved their whips. The horses dragged the carriage and drove out of the village.

After the two left, those people who had good friends with Qiulin's family hurried over to say congratulations and so on.Among them, the happiest one is Mei Xiangniang, who will be his son-in-law after Qiusong.Once Mei Xiang gets married, isn't she the wife of Master Juren?When she first heard that Mrs. Han mentioned their marriage, she was still a little nervous.How happy she is now with her wise choice at the beginning.Otherwise, the cooked Mr. Juren and his son-in-law would fly into other people's bowls.

If Qiu Song knew that her future mother-in-law compared herself to a cooked fat duck, she would probably break out in a cold sweat.

The familiar people in this room said congratulations one after another, and those people who had been separated from Qiulin's family in the past also came forward to say congratulations with shy faces.Han accepted them one by one, smiling from ear to ear.

They are poor and remote, and although they were well fed and clothed before, they didn't have spare money to send their children to study.From generation to generation, Luoshui Village has not had a Juren for many years.Qiu Song can be regarded as the first real Juren in their village in these years.Although Young Master Shen said his mother was from Luoshui Village before, he was not from Luoshui Village after all, so he couldn't count.

There was a juren in the village, and everyone naturally felt a sense of honor, and they all felt honored.Those who have not yet sent their children to school are now determined to send their children to school even if they are eating too much food.Reading is the only way for farmers to jump out of the farm!

Han sent away those who came to say congratulations, and the joy in his heart was not dispelled.Thinking that the head of the family was still looking after Can'er in the old house, he hurriedly walked into the yard like a baby.

Xu Nanshan had long heard that there were firecrackers and laughter outside, but it was a pity that he couldn't get out because of his legs and feet, so he could only suppress his doubts and stay in the room to take care of these silkworms.Hearing footsteps approaching this moment, Xu Nanshan raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Han entering the room neatly, with an excited expression, flushed cheeks, and tears in those weathered eyes. It will fall in the blink of an eye.

Seeing her appearance, Xu Nanshan thought it was the Han family who was being bullied, and asked with concern: "What's wrong with you, what happened?" No, he clearly heard the sound of firecrackers, and there was a burst of joy What a joke, why the hell is the child crying!

Seeing Xu Nanshan, Mrs. Han was not as clean and tidy as before. She walked into the room with big strides, feeling more and more trembling all over, and the tears couldn't stop coming out.He faltered and said: "Nanshan, our Qiusong family is promising, he...he passed the exam!"

What?Xu Nanshan was also dumbfounded when he heard this, and dropped to the ground with a handful of mulberry leaves that he was about to eat Can'er.Water stains were splashed on the ground, but no one cared about it at the moment, Xu Nanshan's expression became very excited, and his eyes quickly turned red. "real?"

Isn't this grown-up looking forward to his sons and daughters' success all his life, now that he suddenly heard the news of Qiu Song's election, Xu Nanshan was so excited that he couldn't calm down, he looked at Han shi expectantly, hoping to get proof from her.

Mrs. Han nodded like a pest, and said happily: "It's true, someone came to announce the good news just now, and said that our Qiusong was selected! My son's father, our Qiusong is promising!" It seems that happiness came too fast, and Han's They all felt a little unbelievable, and tears rolled out of those red eyes.

With Han's confirmation, Xu Nanshan is not much better than Han at the moment, and he can't help crying. "Okay, okay, I knew Qiusong would definitely win for our family!" He beat his knees and legs excitedly, he said a few good words again and again, his expression was full of ecstasy, and he was thinking Chattering, talking all festive words.

Seeing Xu Nanshan talking there, Mrs. Han couldn't help but join in.Qiuyue Qiulin rushed to the old house from outside the yard, and saw her parents crying and laughing, and talking non-stop, it was very funny.The two of them didn't bother too much, for fear that the two of them would feel uncomfortable seeing them now.Consciously quit the old house and get busy with the work at hand again.

The announcer has already arrived, and I am afraid that the second and third brothers will be home soon.It's better to quickly spread out some pancakes, so that they won't be so hungry that they don't have anything to eat at home.Ever since those two people came to announce the good news, everyone's mood seemed to be suspended in mid-air, with a thrilling feeling.They didn't see Qiu Song and Qiu He admit it in person, and everyone's hearts were always restless.

When the sun set, everyone could only hear the sound of rolling and rolling from outside the house.Hearing the sound, several people in the house couldn't wait to stand up, go out of the yard, and look forward to the road paved with bluestone slabs in the village.Seeing Qiusong Qiuhe, who had not been seen for a long time, jumping into the eyes, Han's nervousness and surprise were replaced by the ecstasy of seeing their loved ones!

Qiu Song and Qiu He have never left Han's side for so long since they were born.Although Qingcheng is obviously very close to home, her heart is always in suspense. For several days, her eyelids kept twitching.

Until now, seeing her two sons returning safely, she felt overjoyed.Seeing Qiu Song and Qiu He getting closer, she opened her eyes to see more clearly.Somehow, when the tip of the nose was sour, the tears fell uncontrollably.

Qiu Song and Qiu He were also excited when they saw their relatives. Qiu He simply stood up from the car, waved at Mrs. Han, and shouted: "Mother, big sister, brother and I are back!" Qiu Song, who was driving ahead, saw Qiu He was so courageous that he even stood up like this, and hurriedly pulled him back and sat down again.

This third brother, who is so reckless in doing things, how can he just fall like this later?

The Han family looked at it, and their hearts jumped in their throats with worry. The third child was only reckless. Fortunately, the second child pulled him back, otherwise he didn't know what was wrong.

Soon, Qiusong Qiuhe arrived in front of her yard, looking at the family members who were waiting at the gate of the yard, the child couldn't wait to jump down from the bullock cart after it stopped.Qiu He plunged into Han's arms, and said coquettishly: "Mother, I'm finally back. I've been thinking about going home these days. Mother, the second brother is so good, he passed the exam!"

Looking at this young son, Han's heart was full of joy, but it felt inappropriate for him to be hugged like this in this public place.After letting go of Qiuhe's embrace, Han looked at Qiusong who was busy tying the reins to the trunk of a banyan tree in the yard.With a smile on his face, he said: "Someone came to announce the good news after lunch today, hehe, we already knew about this. Qiu Song, you are really amazing, you have given our family pride!"

As Han Shi talked, she thought of all the hardships and hardships she had endured over the years, and when she thought about the fact that there was a gentleman in the family, her heart was both sad and sweet. The feeling of bitterness and sweetness made her feel mixed feelings, and her tears flowed again. out.
