Standing outside Xuzhou City, Du Zhongxiao was filled with emotion. When he left here to go to Beijing, he only had a firm belief in making progress, but he was not sure about becoming a Jinshi. Today, he returned home, and he had an official position and embarked on a new journey.

According to the rules, Du Zhongxiao should go to the inn to stay in the public uniform first, change into a public uniform, report to the local government office, and wait for the magistrate to receive him. Only by meeting the officials can the official people come to the city and go home to visit his parents. As a Jinshi in this state, the people of the whole province are honored. He is inconspicuous among the hundreds of Jinshi in the capital, but when he returns to his hometown, the new Jinshi can enjoy the glory of riding a horse and parading on the streets.

However, Du Zhongxiao was low-key and did not go to the inn. She rode a horse into the Xuzhou city gate in a blue shirt.

When the soldiers guarding the city heard that it was the "Zuixianju" who returned to their hometown, they still checked carefully and said: "These days have spread throughout the country. Du Xiaoguanren of the 'Zuixianju' has won high school in the capital. The official family sang the title and was about to return to their hometown. The little one is so blessed that he met a small official and should serve!"

As he said that, he called someone who was familiar to him, guarded the city gate for him, and walked up to him to hold Du Zhongxiao's horse. He ignored Du Zhongxiao and repeatedly refused, happily leading Du Zhongxiao into the city. On the way, he shouted "The new Jinshi returned to the city" from a distance. Soon, the news of Du Zhongxia returning to his hometown spread in the city. All families with some connections with the Du family rushed to the "Zuixianju" to congratulate him.

Du Zhongxiao could only smile bitterly immediately. He wanted to enter the city with a low profile, but he could not. Seeing more and more people around the roadside, he felt like he was parading in the capital that day. Naturally, a feeling of high spirits arose.

In this year's scientific examination, there were less than ten people who passed the imperial examinations on the entire Jingxi Road. There was only one Cao Jucheng hanging at the rear of the car in the surrounding states, and he was still a fake person from the outside. Although Du Zhongxiao was named in the Imperial College, he was a native of the hometown. Xuzhou naturally became a place of cultural and educational development in the surrounding states. Everyone who heard about it came to see the new Jinshi and gained blessings. The second-class Jinshi was inconspicuous in the capital, but when he returned to the state, he was no less than Wenquxing descending to earth.

Du Zhongxiao, who was used to being neglected in the capital, was caught off guard. Although he had always been calm, he looked at the increasing crowds of people on both sides of the road and many children running behind the horses, and felt a little swollen.

Xuzhou City is not big, less than a mile into the city gate, you can see the towering state yamen in front of you. At the intersection next to it, there is a two-story building. In front of the door, you can pick a wine to watch your child, and the words "Zuixianju" are written on it.

Du Xun and Han Lian stood at the entrance of the restaurant, dressed brightly and red, looking at Du Zhongxiao who was walking, with a smile on his face. He followed Li Dui to Beijing, and later went to the Imperial College for offering books, and finally got a gold medal. This period of time seemed to be in a dream for both of them. Especially for Du Xun, he had also been to Beijing for the exam, but not only got nothing, but he returned to his hometown with poverty and illness. Looking at his son, he passed the hurdles and won the high school Jinshi in just two years.

Seeing his father and Han Lian, Du Zhongxiao dismounted from afar, came to the front, bowed and bowed.

Du Xun stepped forward and held his son's shoulder, looked left and right, as if he had seen his son look for the first time. Han Lian, on the other hand, hurriedly ordered the servant to light firecrackers, and ordered the people who came to see the popular. A few handfuls of copper coins were scattered, and the children followed him scattered and went to grab them one after another.

Du Xun bowed to the crowd: "Today is a happy day for the Du family. The shop is prepared for some wine and the villagers come in to enjoy it. After several years from the county to our city, there is a situation today. Thanks to the help of the neighbors, I would like to express my gratitude."

I thanked the crowd who were watching the fun, and it was extremely chaotic for a while.

"Zuixianju" did not entertain guests today. More than a dozen banquets were prepared to entertain the top figures in the city and neighbors. The rest of the people who watched the fun also had wine and meat, but they had no seats.

The Du family is a famous charity. It has a very good reputation on weekdays, but no one comes to make trouble at this time. Unfamiliar families drink a bowl of wine with a smile, stand in the crowd and listen to people gossip, sharing the glory of being a Jinshi in the state. Those who have daily contacts come and gossip to enter the store, hand over a prepared gift, and go to the banquet.

After the ceremony, Du Zhongxiao whispered to his father and Han Lian: "I originally wanted to sneak into the city without disturbing the neighbors, so as not to be confused. But I didn't expect to be seen through at the city gate, so lively. At this point, I need to go in and change my public uniform and go to the prefectural yard to meet the prefect of the prefecture. Otherwise, I would be reluctant to say that I was ignorant and chaotic."

Du Xun said hurriedly: "My son is right. Brother Han and I are here, so you can do your own things."

Du Zhongxiao apologized to the few congratulatory people around her, and led it into the "Zuixianju". Han Yueniang and several female relatives stood in the backyard. When she saw Du Zhongxiao coming in, she looked happy. She had fantasized about the future countless times, but she never thought that one day Du Zhongxiao would come back like this.

Du Zhongxiao stepped forward to salute her mother and said to her and Han Yueniang: "Everyone in the city knows that I have returned to my hometown. I should immediately change my public uniform and go to visit the magistrate and the magistrate. If I go too late, I will be afraid that I will make people gossip."

After hearing this, my mother just asked Du Zhongxiao to go quickly. Her son already had an official position, which was different from before. How could he lose his official etiquette?

Han Yueniang saw Du Zhongxiao entering the backyard and didn't even say a word to her, and she felt a little disappointed. When Du Zhongxiao's figure disappeared, she remembered that he was now a Jinshi and became an official when he went out, and she couldn't help but have some longing for the future.

When he returned to his room and took off his bag, Du Zhongxiao changed into a public uniform, and was a little lost. He was calm, but he was afraid of trouble and did not like lively occasions. This time he returned home, he originally wanted to go home quietly and share the joy of a high school Jinshi with his family, and then went to visit a group of officials such as the magistrate and the Tongzong. However, he did not want to be recognized as soon as he entered the city, which made the city full of storms.

After packing up, Du Zhongxiao arrived at the restaurant gate, but saw a rank of ranks standing there. Seeing Du Zhongxiao come out, he hurriedly crossed his hands and saluted: "Sun Jiejie, who is a small state yamen, received the order of an official, and took the new Jinshi to the official yamen to meet his husband."

Du Zhongxiao touched his body, but did not bring any money, so he hurriedly gave his father a wink.

Du Xun understood it, pinched a handful of copper coins, stuffed it into Sun Jiejia's hand, and whispered: "It's hard for the Jijia, I'll buy a bowl of wine."

Sun Jiejie happily collected the copper coins, served Du Zhongxiao to get on the horse, and went to the state yamen together.

Looking at the two of them leaving, Han Lian sighed: "In just two years, I didn't expect that this child would be able to pass the Jinshi and become an official. When he returned to his hometown, even the magistrate and the minister sent someone to pick him up to meet him in the prefectural office."

Du Xun sighed: "The magistrate treats our family very well. Dalang returned to the city and should have gone to the prefecture office to pay a visit. This time he returned home first, and his husband sent someone to pick him up, which shows his respect. I was an incompetent son, and I rely on my husband's promotion. With my current property, even my son has a promising future. In this way, what else can I ask for? I hope Dalang will not be proud of the magistrate for a while and neglect the magistrate for a while."
