farmer's husband

Chapter 261 Xie Yuan and Mrs. Xie Yuan

Facts have proved that Chai Dong's guess has come true again.

On the day when the list was released, none of them went out, and they opened the door directly, and everyone was busy in the yard.

Because today is the day when the list is released, the students did not gather, and everyone rushed to the gate of the government office early in the morning to wait for the list.Even the streets outside were empty, and the common people went to the gate of the government office to wait around and watch the excitement.

But Chai Dong is an exception.

Dai Liang and his wife walked back and forth in the yard several times, they couldn't bear it anymore.

"You really don't plan to go and see? Even if you don't go, let us send someone there! Anyway, it's only a few steps away, not far away, I promise to know the news as soon as possible!" Dai Liang walked to Chaidong again in front of.

Chai Dong didn't even take his eyes off the book, he just shook his head slightly. "I said, no need."

"You... hey!" Dai Liang was extremely frustrated.He looked at Chun Zhi busy again, "Sister and brother, you should try to persuade him anyway! Don't you want to know his grades as soon as possible?"

She wants to!However, Chai Dong insisted not to look at it, what could she do?
Chunzhi shook his head. "Anyway, you will know sooner or later, there is nothing you can do if you are anxious."

Dai Liang gritted his teeth, unable to turn his head away. "I totally admire you two!"

This couple's concentration is not so strong!
However, he didn't get anxious for a long time, and there was a burst of beating gongs and drums outside.

Dai Liang and his wife stood up immediately.

"It's the official announcer! They're coming this way!" Dai Liang's daughter-in-law turned her ear and shouted excitedly.

Dai Liang also nodded. "That's right, that's the voice! I've heard it so many times in the provincial capital, I can't be wrong!"

Dai Liang's daughter-in-law hurriedly took the child to the door to have a look. Dai Liang also looked back cheerfully, only to find that Chai Dong was still studying quietly, and Chun Zhi was sitting beside him, still embroidering wholeheartedly.Even Xiaosanzi, the cat, was lazily lying at Chun Zhi's feet, basking in the sun and sleeping on its back.This sleeping pose is so simple!

The corner of Dai Liang's mouth twitched again. "Brother Chai, siblings, the announcers are here, why don't you get up quickly?"

"I haven't reached the door yet, what's the hurry?" Chai Dong didn't care.

Chun Zhi remembered it.But as soon as she moved, Chai Dong dragged her back, and she sat obediently again.

While speaking, the sound of gongs and drums gradually approached, and it was actually coming towards them!
A team of officials from the government, the people in front of them were carrying a big gong, and a piece of bright red silk was hung on the gong.As he walked, he knocked all the way, and the sound of Dangdang spread far away.

Accompanied by the sound of the gong, he kept yelling: "Qiuwei releases the list! Xinke Jieyuan comes out!"

Called down over and over again, the people along the way couldn't help but follow, wanting to see how sacred this new science Jieyuan is.

When they stopped at the gate of Dai Liang's house, Dai Liang and his wife were so excited that their hearts almost jumped out of their throats!

The person who was beating the gong stopped what he was doing, and he walked forward slowly: "Dare to ask, is this the mansion where Chai Dong, a student of Chaimen, from Wangjia Village, Shitong Town, Yuqing County, lives temporarily?"

"Yes, that's right, it's here!" Dai Liang was so excited that his mouth was trembling.After nodding his head several times in a row, he hurriedly asked again, "May I ask my brother where did he rank in the exam?"

As soon as he spoke, there was a burst of laughter all around.

His wife couldn't help pinching him: "Didn't you hear that just now? They came here specially to congratulate Xin Ke Jie Yuan!"

"Oh, oh!" Dai Liang finally came to his senses, he quickly slapped himself on the face, "Look at me, I was so excited, I forgot that you have called me several times!"

What about Xie Yuan!That is the No.1 of this autumn!This ranking is much higher than he expected, he didn't dare to think about it at first, okay?
Now, he understood why Chai Dong refused to go to the gate of the government office to read the list.He dignifiedly interpreted Yuan, and went to see the list by himself, how much would he lose his share?He should just sit at home upright and wait for others to come to congratulate him!
His brother is really foresight, he admires him so much!
Dai Liang is still very excited now.He took several deep breaths before stammeringly asking the officer to come in, and then he ran back. "Brother Chai, did you hear that? You really won, Xie Yuan, No.1!"

When the large group of people walked in, both Chai Dong and Chun Zhi had already stood up.

Chai Dong was still only wearing a white-washed green cloth robe, his hair was simply combed up and tied into a square bun, and then wrapped with a piece of cloth, as simple and plain as ever.However, standing under the brilliant morning sun, he was tall and straight, and the morning mist shrouded his body, adding a bit of cleanliness to his handsome face. I want to give a thumbs up to praise the good character!It really deserves to be Xinke Jieyuan!
Chun Zhi stood beside him, she was just dressed in homely attire, but her attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.The couple stood side by side, and her sense of presence was not weak.

As soon as the officer saw them, he immediately had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chai, I'm here to congratulate you! Congratulations on winning the Jinke Jieyuan. From now on, your name will be left in Sanjiang Province!"

"Thank you." Chai Dong nodded, then nodded to Chun Zhi, "Give them some money!"

"Okay!" Chun Zhi nodded quickly.

Seeing this, Dai Liang and his wife hurriedly said: "We have all the money ready, let's give it, let's give it!"

Saying that, before the two of them could speak, they hurried back to the room and took out a thick red envelope and a small basket of copper coins.Of course, the red envelopes are given to the officials who come to announce the good news, and the copper coins are distributed at the door to the common people who come to watch the fun.

It's just that Dai Liang didn't expect that Chai Dong could do so well in the exam!So at first he felt that these bounties were enough.But now it seems that such a small amount of money is a shame to Chai Dong!
He ordered his daughter-in-law to go out to distribute the money, and at the same time quickly called a few brothers and asked them to find a way to get more copper coins immediately.

"As much as I can get! It's all on my account!" He said proudly.

The brothers nodded quickly and went out in a hurry.

After a while, they came back carrying a big basket.The baskets were so full of strings of copper coins that they bent their waists under the weight.

Seeing this basketful of money, exclamations erupted among the common people who came to join in the fun.

Seeing this, Dai Liang smiled triumphantly and took the initiative to untie a bunch of money. "These are all for you!"

The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly very lively.

Only Chun Zhi was listening to the movement in the yard, and she felt very distressed——Dai Liang and the others have given away tens of taels of silver at least, right?All she has at hand is the 40 taels of hard-earned money she earned in the court last time, and it looks like she's going to take it all out now.

And in the yard, the officials got a lot of red envelopes, and they were also satisfied.

Putting away the red envelopes, the official who was beating the gong smiled at Chai Dong and said, "Master Chai... Oh no, it's time to call you Chai Jieyuan now! Chai Jieyuan, please quickly leave your seal on the list, and then follow Let’s go to the government office, you little one! The second No.3 person should have arrived by now, and you guys are going to parade in red together today!"

Harue listened, and finally she couldn't help getting excited.

Parade in red!That was something she had only seen in dramas before, but now it actually happened, and it happened to her husband-in-law!She suddenly felt proud, and also felt that the tens of taels of silver were worth it!

When Chai Dong heard this, he immediately nodded. "good."

He took out his name tag and stamped on the list. After the official sentry confirmed again that it was him, the people behind came up to him and put a hydrangea ball made of red silk cloth on him.

After decorating it for him, the official servant made way for him courteously: "Chai Jieyuan, please!"

At the end, he saluted Chun Zhi respectfully: "Madam Xie Yuan, please too!"

Chunzhi was taken aback. "What am I going to do? I don't need to parade in red."

"Madam Xie Yuan, you have misunderstood. I invite you to come over because the prefect's wife has invited you." The official said cheerfully.

Mrs. Prefect?

Chun Zhi blinked, and she quickly turned to Chai Dong.

Chai Dong nodded. "Then let's go together! We just happen to be companions."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed her hand, and the two of them clasped their fingers tightly. Together, they strode out of the yard, onto the street, and towards the bustling crowd outside.
