Strategy to develop champions

Chapter 393

When the booing mothers and daughters-in-law outside heard this, they were all startled, thinking that Brother Bao had thought of Xu Ruyue, so they hurried in from the door and said, "Brother Bao, take a closer look, this Isn't it your mother? Don't admit it wrong?"

Brother Bao only put his head under Zhao Caifeng, looked up for a long time with his little head, and finally just cried: "Mother has applied Brother Bao's rice noodles on her face, Brother Bao has nothing to eat!"

Zhao Caifeng was sweating wildly when she heard this, and she couldn't help but smile and said: "Brother Bao is good, mother just borrowed a little today and used it, and she will definitely not use Brother Bao's rice noodles in the future, okay? Brother Bao obediently follows grandma Let's go out to eat delicious food and look at your father, don't let him drink too much?"

Hearing Zhao Caifeng's voice, Brother Bao just hugged Zhao Caifeng's thigh and refused to leave. He was about to climb up on Zhao Caifeng on tiptoe. The elder sister of Song Mingxuan outside saw her, so she hurried over to hug Baoge and said, "Brother Bao It's weird, go out to play with my aunt, we are looking for your father, asking for big fruit."

Zhao Caifeng watched gratefully as Song Mingxuan's sister carried Brother Bao out, the door was closed, and the whole world was a little cleaner again.Although there was still the sound of suona outside and congratulations from guests everywhere, at least in this space, Zhao Caifeng enjoyed a rare peace.

She didn't eat anything when she got up in the morning. When Yang remembered to eat something for herself, half of the powder on her face was wiped off. Because she couldn't open her mouth, she only drank a few mouthfuls of millet porridge. I'm really hungry.

The closest food to me is the peanuts and red dates sprinkled on the kang, but although there is a curtain hanging in front of the new house, people outside can still see a little bit of what's inside. It's really embarrassing to eat.

After much deliberation, Zhao Caifeng decided to go hungry when she was hungry!As Grandma Li said, a person's life is just such a day, and what she has paid for Song Mingxuan is no longer just a little bit of starvation.

Because Song Mingxuan won the Juren, the gentry and wealthy households in Zhaojia Village and even Heqiao Town heard that Mr. Liang was coming to celebrate in person, so they all came without invitation.Fortunately, Li Quan is a knowledgeable and experienced person. Seeing that there were many people coming, he went to the backyard again. Seeing that the ingredients were not enough, he dragged a fat pig from the house and killed Kaixi.

Song Mingxuan is not usually a person who likes to socialize. Seeing so many people coming here today, he was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, Mr. Liang has been in the officialdom for a long time, so what doesn't he know?
Those who came here to give gifts to Song Mingxuan just wanted to find out whether Song Mingxuan planned to continue his entrance examination, or wanted to get a job in the county.Now that Mr. Liang will be promoted soon, his position as the magistrate of the county has been coveted for a long time.

Because Master Qin was only born as a scholar, he has no hope of becoming an official in this life, so he didn't bother with it anymore. He just said that he was willing to follow Mr. Liang to the land of fish and rice in the south to soak in the oil and water. Just a few contenders.

The Dayong court stipulated that if a candidate does not try more than three times, he can report to the Ministry of Officials, or hang a sign in the local county government. When there is a vacancy, he can be a country gentry or something.And these few people have been in the position of country gentry and petty officials for decades.Now that Mr. Liang is leaving, and he values ​​Song Mingxuan so much, what if Song Mingxuan stops reading and is recommended by Mr. Liang to be the magistrate of the county?

So these few people have prepared enough silver taels today, which is enough for Song Mingxuan to study in peace and stability in the past three years, without having to think about going back to Heqiao Town.

Mr. Liang didn't know what they were thinking. Seeing Song Mingxuan's expression of refusal, he just smiled while drinking: "Brother Song, you can accept it. If you don't accept the money, they will Maybe I won’t be able to sleep when I go back!”

How did Song Mingxuan know the truth of this? He originally wanted to continue studying, so even though Mr. Liang persuaded him so much, he still kept humbly saying: "As the saying goes, you don't get paid for nothing. Li, this is against the rules!"

Mr. Liang was drinking a little too much at the moment, he just laughed out loud when he heard this, pulled Song Mingxuan down in front of him, leaned into his ear and whispered: "Bookworm, if you ask you to accept it, you can accept it, you Now that you are not an official, you can collect money casually, and when you have black yarn on your head in the future, you will not dare to reach out!"

Song Mingxuan's cheeks blushed when he saw Master Liang speak so bluntly, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

Those people laughed so flatteringly again, it always made Song Mingxuan feel very uneasy.At this time, Wang Ying came in from the courtyard, saw Song Mingxuan, and only handed him a mahogany carved box in his hand, and said, "Mingxuan, this is when I just came home, and someone asked me to give it to you by the small bridge at the entrance of the village." Yes, it's a wedding gift for you and Caifeng."

Song Mingxuan was also blushing from drinking at this moment. Seeing what Wang Ying said, he just stood up from his seat and followed him a few steps outside. Seeing that the sky was already dark, there was no one around the small bridge at the entrance of the village.

Song Mingxuan opened the box and saw that there were two hairpins of male and female styles inside. The men's hairpins were engraved with the pattern of spirit monkeys, and several small monkeys were lying on the big monkey's body, looking cute; the female hairpins were It is in the pattern of a colorful golden phoenix, inlaid with tourmaline gemstones of various colors, dazzling, and it is priceless at first glance.

"Who sent you, have you seen it clearly?" Song Mingxuan looked at the thing and couldn't guess who sent it, so he just asked Wang Ying.

"I haven't seen it before. It looks like a servant. There is a carriage parked far away. I didn't see if there was anyone in the carriage."

Song Mingxuan just closed the box, and saw the three big characters "Zhenbaofang" gilded on the lid.Although Song Mingxuan didn't know the goods, he also knew that Zhenbaofang was the largest jewelry workshop in the capital. It was opened on Zhuque Street, and the guests he usually received were wealthy households from the Hou family in the capital. Those who could send such a congratulatory gift, I'm afraid it's either rich or expensive.

Seeing that the person had already left, Song Mingxuan didn't make any fuss, and just went to the courtyard to accompany Mr. Liang again.The sky gradually darkened, and everyone got up to say goodbye. A bonfire was lit in the yard, and it was the turn of the people in the village to really get lively.
