In a blink of an eye, Han Xiufeng had been out for nearly a year. The family did not become deserted because he was an official outside, and Qin'er was not lonely because he was not at home. Instead, she was very busy and even felt that it was more lively and more glorious than in previous years!

First, the house that her father had built for several years was completed. Not only did her parents move to a new house, but she also became neighbors with her daughter who had been married for many years. She had just helped her family have a big banquet and celebrated the housewarming, and she also helped her brother marry Liu Shanyang's sister.

As soon as the wedding was completed, Guan Xiaohu and his wife and children came back from the capital.

Because Guan Bantou felt that Guan Xiaohu was not promising, the Guan family lived a mess. She finally helped to comfort Guan Xiaohu and others' wives and children. The youngest sister brought her baby and Ao Tongchen, Ao Cexian and the Ao family's female relatives back from the capital. She not only wanted to help settle her sister-in-law, but also held a banquet to welcome the women of the Ao family.

Immediately afterwards, there were news in the capital that the emperor gave his father a child and promoted him to Fengchen Yuanqing.

The officials and gentry of Chongqing Prefecture, including the Ministry of Education, the Grand Master of the Jiangbei Department, the County Master, the County Teacher and Lord Duan, Mr. Gong Ying and Mr. Sun Wu of Ciqikou, all came to congratulate each other, and more than a dozen yuan were sent to the plaque alone!

Her father and Mr. Fei were so busy that she was busy. Before she could finish her work, the emperor's imperial edict that the emperor granted her a third-rank man...

The third-rank senior official, Lord Duan, of Chongqing Prefecture, did this. This is not only a glorious family, but also a glorious face for the people in the ten miles of the countryside.

Her father and Mr. Fei felt that his father not only ranked third in office, but also was awarded the title of Juren. This family had a new look, and the two of them started to build a large-scale construction together.

At the same time, Mr. Sun Wu and Mr. Fei agreed that the two children of Shitong and Shida, who were born in the house, have made great progress in their studies. This year is the year of the county examination, the government examination and the college examination. If you don’t come to take the exam this year, you have to wait for another three years. Even if you can’t pass the exam, it’s okay to get into the Tongsheng exam. Therefore, the two children came on the 18th day of the first lunar month, because there is a lot of construction here, so they can only live next door like her, the aunt.

I thought the two kids came here just to try their luck, but I didn't expect that the two kids were very successful and they all performed well in the five county exams, so I took the imperial examination a few days ago.

If you can do well in the provincial examination, then you will be a Tongsheng. Although you cannot be compared with scholars and scholars, you are still considered half a scholar.

The eldest brother may not dare to come because he was too nervous. The eldest sister-in-law, who has always been careless, came with Pan Changsheng's eldest sister-in-law yesterday. But after all, she is a wife and illiterate, so she can only wait for news here.

His grandfather and Mr. Fei went to the government office early in the morning to wait for the results to be released. Qin'er felt that it was meaningless to stay at his younger brother's house, and his own house was almost completely renovated, so she simply accompanied Grandma Han to visit the newly renovated home with her youngest girl.

On the day he received the news that the emperor gave his father to his father, his grandfather invited the best carpenter in the city to make six flagpoles, two in front of the house, two at the door of the Han family ancestral hall in Zouma countryside, and two in front of the Han family ancestral tomb at the foot of Ciyun Mountain. He also asked the stonemason to make twelve Juren monuments with six large stones, with auspicious cloud patterns and two powerful lines of words "The Twenty-Two Superintendents of Daoguang, the Seventh Year of Xianfeng" to tie the flagpole. This is used to highlight the family, show the identity and show the world, and this is also the glory that only Juren and Jinshi have!

The plaque at the gate was replaced by a new plaque given by the Taoist Master, with the three big words "Filial Piety and Integrity" written on it. The previous piece of "Fengzheng Di" and four other flagpoles were sent away to Ma's hometown.

The screen wall in front of the door was not solemn enough, so it was pushed to rebuild.

The newly built screen wall is indeed more elegant than the previous one. It is said that the two on the screen wall are called "Hongxi", so I can't figure out what Qin'er means. The courtyard wall has also been rebuilt, using water-milled eight-character bricks. The two black painted doors are also newly replaced, and the copper rings on the door are polished sharply.

Inside the gate are eight blue lacquered screen doors, with a plaque with red base and gold characters hanging on it, with the words "Imperial Envoy Juren" written on it;

The three-bedroom lobby was cleaned up, and all the tables, chairs and stools were moved away. The original place where the chairs and coffee tables were placed, two new rows of wooden shelves were made, and the official plaques of his father were neatly inserted on the shelves.

"Assigned as a Taizhou inspector", "Assigned as a Taizhou prefecture", "Specially appointed as a deputy envoy of the Transportation Department of the two Huaizhou capitals", "Assigned as a deputy magistrate of the coastal defense of Songjiang Prefecture", "Assigned as a customs supervisor in Jiangxi", "Assigned as a Tongzhi of the south bank of Yongding River", "Assigned as a Segubatulu", "Senator of the Tongzheng Department of Tongzheng", "Extra walking on the Beijing Military Machinery", "Supervising the Training of the East Sichuan", "Rewarding of the Yellow Jacket", "Assigned as a Juren", "Assigned as a Fengchen Yuanqing"...

These are all new things, and they are also arranged according to the official positions that the baby's father has done over the years. Although Qin'er is illiterate, she knows which official title is written on the official title with her eyes closed.

On both sides of the wall, behind two rows of official plaques, there were two sedan chairs, one was blue and the other was green. Grandma Han asked in confusion: "Qin'er, it's enough to buy one sedan chair. Why does it look different when it is placed on two?"

"Sister-in-law, this one was the one that the baby's father had used to sit in before, and this green sedan chair was the one that the baby's father had now." Thinking that the decorations in the room were all for others to see, Qin'er couldn't help laughing, "I heard from my father and Mr. Fei that only high-ranking officials of third-rank and third-rank or above, such as Fourth Brother and Lord Duan, can only ride in the green sedan chair, but this sedan chair can only be placed here for our guests to see. Not to mention that the fourth brother is not at home, he will most likely not sit even if he is at home."

"Show me?"

"Um."

Grandma Han nodded in a vague way, pointed to the umbrellas inserted on the row of wooden shelves beside the big sedan chair, and asked, "Why are these umbrellas colorful? What do you want these umbrellas to do?"

"These are the umbrellas sent by the people of the people when the Fourth Brother was an official in Shanghai." Seeing that his sister-in-law didn't seem to understand, Qin'er explained proudly: "I heard that this is only available to Master Qingtian. If the Fourth Brother is a corrupt official and a confused official, the local gentry and people would not give it to him!"

"I have heard of Wanmin Umbrella, but I have never seen it." Grandma Han smiled, thought about it and walked to the opposite side again, pointed to the three-eaves umbrella with black tea-brown silk thread inserted on the shelf and asked, "Qin'er, is this Wanmin Umbrella?"

"This is not a Wanmin umbrella. Don't the official keep holding an umbrella when he goes out? This is the umbrella that the fourth brother plays when he goes out. I heard that my father can only use this style only when he is a third-rank official. The biggest official in our Ba County is the Taotai, but the Taotai is only the fourth-rank official, so he can't sit in this big green sedan chair or hold this style of umbrella!"

"According to what you said, Shichang's father's official position is even bigger than the Taoist platform?"

Before Qin'er could speak, the youngest girl who had seen the world in the capital laughed and said, "This is natural! Sister-in-law, you can't believe it. Before my fourth brother became Fengchen Yuanqing, many Taiwanese makers and Futai had to send people to the capital to send him Bingjing, Tan Jing and Nian Jing."

"What is Bingjing? What is Tanjing?"

"You don't understand now if you say it now. When your Shitong family is admitted to the Tongsheng, Shida will be admitted to the Tongsheng, and then you will be admitted to the scholar and juren. Then you will understand."

"Can you know everything, you damn girl?" Grandma Han cursed and thought about it and grinned, "Miss Qin'er, youngest girl, Shitong and Shida really told you that she could pass the scholar-in-law in the future, and my father and I would wake up laughing when we fell asleep."

"Sister-in-law, Shitong Shida will definitely pass the exam if she works so hard." Qin'er smiled with her arm in her arms.

"They are not as hard-working as you said. Last time, I heard from Master Fei Er said that your Shichang is not only hard-working but also smart. He will give him an article and he will recite it twice!"

"I'm not worried about Shichang, I'm worried about the career path."

"The road of service is still small, what good things are there?"

The youngest sister couldn't help but smile and said, "Sister-in-law, what the fourth sister-in-law said was not what she meant!"

"What does that mean?" Grandma Han asked in confusion.

When the youngest girl saw Qin'er laughing, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Shichang is the eldest son of the fourth brother. Even if she doesn't study hard, she can still become an official in the future. Do you understand that you have a wife and a son? You just mean it. The second brother is the second brother, and the second brother will not be able to gain the honor of the fourth brother. If you want to make a name for yourself in the future, you have to study hard after you grow up."

"Qin'er, Shichang can become an official without taking the exam in the future?"

"I heard from Master Fei that the fourth brother has become a third-rank official and will be able to be a son in the future as usual. He also said that it may not be Yin's eldest son, but Shi Chang is the eldest after all, so if there is such a good thing, he will naturally come with him."

Grandma Han was about to speak, but the youngest girl smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, there is nothing to worry about. When I was in the capital, I heard Mrs. Ao tell Cuihua that Yinsheng doesn't seem to be a big official. The children of the official family would rather go to the exam for fame and fortune alone than to be Yinsheng. Only if they really can't pass the exam will they take this path."

"I will be better than a father after I get fame and fortune in my exam." Qin'er nodded slightly, thought about it and turned back, "Sister-in-law, don't look at the fourth brother who is now a juren, but his juren was rewarded by the emperor, not by himself, and he is lower than those who pass by the ability. If your Shitong family can pass the child this time, it will really give us the face of our Han parents!"

"Look at what you said, isn't it just a child? Besides, the two kids can live today, it's not up to his fourth uncle, but your aunt." As Grandma Han said, she suddenly found a box with red paint and gold hanging on her head. She thought it was so beautiful, and asked curiously: "Qin'er, what's the one above?"

"That's the one who puts the edict."

Qin'er looked up and thought about it and explained, "It was the imperial edict that the emperor conferred me as a third-rank man. However, it was not only the imperial edict, but also the purse, scythe and knife that the emperor and the queen gave. Anyway, they were all things from the palace, and my father said they had to be hung up to offer it."

"You are not afraid of being stolen by thieves when you have such a precious thing."

"What's there to be afraid of? Now the family has hired several servants. Besides, the Qiantou Guild Hall is the place where Mr. Pan and Xiaohu and others handle the wrong things. They not only have Zaoli from Hubei, but also so many brave men. They borrowed a few courages from thieves and didn't dare to come to our house to steal things."

...

The three of them were talking when footsteps came from outside.

As soon as they turned around, Duan Jiqing smiled while walking, "There is nomination, and the two children have passed the exam. I have sent someone to Zouma's hometown to report the good news to his father, and ask his father to go to the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors and ancestors!"

"Mr. Duan, do you mean that Shitong and Shida have both passed the exam?" asked Grandma Han urgently.

Duan Jiqing was about to speak, and Master Fei Er, who followed, said with a serious look: "I passed the exam, but it can only be considered as a barely passing the exam. If I go to the college entrance examination, I will most likely fail. So you, a mother, cannot be too spoiled. You have to be too involved, and you have to be supervised. You can't let them forget who you are after passing the exam."

"What you always say is that I won't spoil them."

"Second Master, you are really good. It's not easy for two kids to pass the exam..."

"Qin'er, the second master is not pouring cold water, but the Tongsheng exam is different from the college exam, and it is not that difficult to get into the exam."

"Dad, what do you mean?" Qin'er couldn't help asking.
