Chapter 316 What?Xie Yuan and Ju Ren? (2)
Mo Daqing also left in a hurry, and he had to support the old man to prevent him from being injured. He was more tired than Patriarch Mo, and after a long rest, he said, "Hey, didn't you hear that the official came to your family? The old man was afraid that something happened to your family, so he rushed over here. By the way, what attracted the official mission?"

This question is not only asked by Patriarch Mo, but also by the elders who followed behind him, but they are all old, they have walked such a long way, and they are walking in such a hurry, naturally they are all out of breath Out of shape, he is panting at the door now.

Looking at their appearance, Mo Shengming felt a little gratitude in his heart, and then he smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. They just came to report the news. Grandpa, I told you the news. Don't worry."

Mo Daqing saw that he didn't look like he was lying, the tight string in his heart was loosened, and he also said with a smile: "What's the matter, just say it, my father and his old man can still stand it."

"That's right, brat, don't hurry up and say it."

"Okay, then I said, it's like this uncle, grandpa, cousin, the four Tian'er brothers in our family have all passed the test, Yuntian and Yunfeng both won Xieyuan, and the two of the third brother's family have passed the exam. Master Juren." Mo Shengming said these words slowly.

As soon as the words fell, patriarch Mo was shocked and stiff, and then laughed wildly, "Haha, old man, I still have such a day, haha, God has eyes, tomorrow, come, lead me in, I Thank you very much to those officials.”

"That's right, tomorrow, hurry up and lead the way." Hearing this news, how could they dare to be negligent, the matter of raising people is not a matter of their Mo Dayuan branch, but a matter of their Mo family members, thinking about the Mo family It has been many years since there have been scholars, but now not only scholars, but also Xie Yuan and Juren have come out, haha, God bless them.

Listening to their joyful voices, Mo Shengming couldn't help but feel helpless, it was all because of a quick temper.Even though I thought so in my heart, I still brought several people in one after another.

"Da Yuan, where are those officials?" Patriarch Mo asked as soon as he entered the room.

Only now did Mo Dayuan know that his second uncle was coming, so he couldn't help standing up and helping the old man to where he was sitting, and said slowly with a smile: "That's right, all the officials are eating in the dining room now."

"Hey, it's been so many years. Finally, someone from our Mo family has a promising future. We are looking forward to it." Patriarch Mo said with a sigh.

Hearing this, the Elder Er Zong pondered for a while, and then sighed slowly: "Oh, no, how many years have we been waiting, from when we had black hair, to now we have gray hair , finally it’s time, we’ll go underground when the time comes, and we’ll have an explanation when we meet our ancestors.”

"Second Uncle, from what you said, they have only passed the rural examination now, and there will be the general examination and palace examination in the future. These two are much better than the current rural examination. I don't know if they can pass it by then. Now It's too early to say that." Mr. Mo said slowly.

"What are you talking about? No one can curse their grandson for failing the exam. Are you saying something that a grandfather can say?" Patriarch Mo looked at Mr. Mo displeasedly, with an extremely dissatisfied expression on his face.

When he said this, he really felt that he was wrong, so he lowered his head immediately, and the four yamen servants over there had already eaten and drank enough, and they were sitting at the dining table hiccupping. Even if you go to someone's house to announce the good news, you may not be able to get a meal. At most, you will give a few rewards and say a few words of thanks.

However, this family is really better than others, and they also prepared meals for them. The dishes are no different from ordinary restaurants. It seems that they are not a rich family, but they also have such dishes, which are somewhat beyond their expectations. imagine.

"Are the officials full?" Wang stepped forward with a smile, and poured a cup of Xiaoshi tea for each of them, with deep smiles on her face.

Seeing that it was Mrs. Wang, those officials thought that this person was Xie Yuan's grandmother, so they stood up immediately, cupped their hands and said, "Thank you, Madam, for your kind hospitality."

Seeing their politeness, Mrs. Wang felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, you just sit down and have a good rest. You are also tired from driving and horses, so you should have a good rest."

"What the old lady said, with an elder like you, it's no wonder that you can teach such outstanding grandchildren."

What she said was very beautiful, at least Mrs. Wang felt at ease when she heard it, but she still said modestly: "It's nothing, this is what they worked hard on their own, what does it have to do with me, an illiterate old woman." Even so, the smile on his face was still bright.

"The old lady is really humble."

"Hey, what are you talking about? By the way, some fruits and vegetables have been prepared in this hall. Please invite some officials to move." Mrs. Wang smiled and looked at several people with a teapot in her hand.

The few people didn't expect that the Mo family would prepare these things at all, and they were all stunned for a moment, but then they all came back to their senses, cupped their hands and said: "I'm just here to report a letter, I can't treat the old lady like this."

"Why are you being polite? If you don't come, how will we know the news, so we must say this thank you. I think we should go to the hall. There is a charcoal fire there, which is warmer. , it's not as cold as here." Lin also persuaded.

Several people looked at each other, and then nodded, "In this case, then we should be respectful rather than obedient, thank you, old lady and madam."

After finishing speaking, she followed Mrs. Wang to the hall, and Mrs. Lin felt a little complicated. It was the first time she was called Mrs. Madam in so many years, but this title made her feel a little heavy. Just get used to it.

As soon as the four yamen servants arrived in the hall, they were dragged by Patriarch Mo to sit on the main seat, and then said with a smile on their faces: "Master, it is really embarrassing for you to come here to report the letter, and now your mission has been completed , and it’s getting late today, why don’t you stay and leave tomorrow?”

"Um... We understand what the old man said, but the county government still has something to do for us brothers, so naturally we can't stay here overnight, so please forgive me, old man." If the county magistrate finds out that they are hiding here and resting, Don't have to cram their tendons.

Patriarch Mo also read the certificates brought by the four yamen servants to Mr. Mo, and he was delighted to understand what they did, so he smiled and said, "Since this is the case, I can't delay you, if you have time someday Yes, you can come here to live for a few days, our mountains and rivers are still very beautiful."

"Haha, we knew it when we rode here today. It is a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. If there is a chance, we will definitely come here again." The four laughed.This place is really nice.
