Chapter 63: Xiu Cai Xiang Gong

The Wu family has been prominent for hundreds of years, with countless branches and branches. There are many people who are illegal. Not only Wu Xiude has finished it, but many Wu family members have also suffered.

I don’t know how many victims have applauded.

There was joy in Chengyang County.

Wu Xiude was crazy, he didn't know whether it was crazy or not. But it was said that he had eaten his prison uniform and hit his head across the wall, and he would laugh foolishly when he saw someone.

Undisguised and dirty face, smelly.

Although I don’t know if he was crazy, based on the collected evidence, he was a beheaded prisoner. He was asked to beheaded just after the documents were sent to the court.

All in all, it's very satisfying.

The only people in the Chen family are happy with Chen Guhong, because from the beginning to the end, Chen Guhong did not tell his sister, brother-in-law, Yuanyuan the meaning behind this matter.

But even if you know that they probably won’t care, because the day for the list is up. Although the yamen will issue notices, scholars who are on the list will be specially notified.

Just as dawn was dawn, the whole family got up. Chen Xiuxiu took out the red paper that had been prepared long ago, wrapped five red envelopes of one or two silver coins, and many red envelopes of ten copper coins.

The big red envelope is for the yamen runners who announce the good news, and the small red envelope is for the children of the neighbors.

Chen Xiuxiu has done this kind of thing since her first exam at the age of twelve. It was a failure every year, but she was still happy and full of longing every year.

And I am very confident in the soldiers this year. Isn’t my younger brother a famous scholar?

Chen Xiuxiu was so happy that she had already forgotten the pain she suffered not long ago.

According to the county's rules, the sky shines brightly on this morning, and another hour is the time to announce the announcement. After the family is ready, it will be almost done after breakfast.

Yuanyuan moved a small stool and sat at the door, holding her plump chin with both hands, and sat happily watching. Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengdang were also extremely nervous, and they walked around the yard, refusing to rest.

Only Chen Guhong was always calm, but looking at his family's concerns and longings, he was particularly sweet.

The waiting time was particularly difficult, but soon after, the sound of the gong finally rang out.

"Crack!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Also accompanied by the sound of firecrackers, the smell of gunpowder, and the harsh sound, a team of five yamen runners came to the front of the Chen family.

Yuanyuan stood up, Wang Zhengdang rushed out, and Chen Xiuxiu took Chen Guhong's hand and walked out. The family looked at the yamen runners, and Chen Xiuxiu's eyes turned red and shed tears.

"My little brother is finally here."

The leader was an old yamen runner, who was in his fifties and was very kind. He bowed to Chen Guhong and handed over a document from the county government office, congratulating with kindness: "God of Chen, this is a document from the county government office, please keep it."

Chen Guhong smiled and reached out to take the document. Before he could thank him, Chen Xiuxiu had already sent red envelopes and thanked him repeatedly.

"Thank you, thank you."

Almost incoherent.

Looking at his sister's appearance, Chen Guhong felt for the first time that even if he didn't want to be a scholar, he would be good if he was a scholar. His family would be happy.

"Haha." The old yamen runner and the yamen runners smiled and collected the red envelopes, then accused them of guilt and ran to the house. At this time, the firecrackers stopped and the gongs and drums were gone.

The yamen runners also walked away, but it was very lively in front of the Chen family.

"Oh oh, Brother Chen (uncle) has become my husband."

I saw that the doors of neighbors were opened, and the adults came to congratulate. The children clapped their hands, and their little faces were red. They were young, but they knew that they had red envelopes at this time and had some takeaway.

Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengdan smiled and sent red envelopes to express their gratitude to their neighbors. The childish voice was crisp and the children were having fun. The front of Chen's house was lively, just like the New Year.

Chen Guhong is well-deserved as the protagonist, one is Chen Gong on the left and the other is Chen Gong on the right. Chen Guhong is twenty years old this year, but he is not married yet. He lives in his brother-in-law's house, and the other is that he has no business.

There has never been a matchmaker here, and at this time, there are also a group of aunts and sisters who have heard of the news.

All in all, it's lively.

At noon, Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengdang suffered a lot of money. They set up several banquets and invited neighbors to eat and eat together. Chen Guhong and Wang Zhengdang were responsible for accompanying the wine, and they were a little dizzy.

It was already very late after dinner. Chen Guhong drank a little too much and wanted to go to the room to take a nap, but his sister pulled him out. The whole family carried a hoe, brought a machete, and went east of the city.

There is a cemetery not far from the east of the city, leaning against the foot of the mountain. Chen Guhong's parents were buried here. Before he could deal with the weeds and shrubs on the grave. When he arrived at his parents' grave, Chen Xiuxiu asked Chen Guhong to kowtow respectfully, and then knelt down, folded his hands together, and choked up and said, "My father is here, I am a promising person. After a few days, I will ask the matchmaker to find him a wife, clean up the old house, and start a family and start a business."

"Don't worry, my parents, our Chen family will definitely be full of branches and leaves and the ground will be filled with descendants."

As he said that, Chen Xiuxiu kowtowed, and Chen Guhong kowtowed as well. Wang Zhengdang also kowtowed to his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

After kowtowing, he burned incense, placed offerings, and poured old wine. During the process, Chen Xiuxiu was thinking about it, her eyes were red, and she couldn't help but wiped her tears, but she was also full of happiness.

"It's time to be happy." Looking at the happy family, Chen Guhong wanted to take out the money given by Brother Kun, and the land house came out.

Chen Guhong returned home and took it out.

Chen Xiuxiu and Wang Zhengdang were both very surprised by this property.

"One thousand taels of silver???? The fields and houses inside and outside the city?" Chen Xiuxiu widened her eyes and said in shock.

"Why is there so much money?" Wang Zheng's jaw was almost falling off.

But the first time the two of them felt was not joy, but fear, deep fear. "Brother, you won't get ill-gotten gains from somewhere, right????"

"Don't throw it away, throw it away. Our family is a gate of goodness, so don't have that wealth." Chen Xiuxiu said hurriedly, very anxious. My younger brother has just won the scholar, so he should not cause any trouble.

"It's okay sister." Chen Guhong smiled, and then explained softly: "Sister has forgotten Mr. Wu Zhengchun, who was the fourth friend of Han that year? The Wu family in Datong is powerful, no worse than the Wu family who was searched a few days ago. He and I are brothers, so the money he gave me."

"A friend who has met a few times is just a brother??? Just give so much money?" Chen Xiuxiu said in disbelief.

"Scholars are loyal and have the meaning of being rich. The Wu family has been luxurious for generations, and they are mostly rich. His pocket money is usually calculated in ten thousand taels. Ten thousand taels are nothing to him. He even wants to send me some beautiful maids and slaves to order me, but I at least refuse it." Chen Guhong said with a smile.

Scholars have the meaning of being rich, and Chen Xiuxiu knows this. But she still has half-believing and half-doubting so much property, but she trusts her younger brother very much.

In the end, I reluctantly accepted it, but I was still half happy and half sad.

"This house in the city is very useful. I will arrange it in a few days. Then I will buy some servants in the market. You are my husband now, and our Chen family is a gentry and can afford it. With such a situation, you can also get a better wife. But 100,000 taels of silver is a hot potato. Maybe some green forest thieves will attract."

Chen Xiuxiu said worriedly.
