Chapter 299 Ranking

The latest website: Zhou Shuren also had a small expectation in his heart. Who would be willing to fight for the second place if he can take the first place in the exam? Fortunately, he could not bear the fear of expecting too much face, "We will know when the time comes."

Zhulan asked, "I see you are very calm, don't you really worry about your grades?"

Zhou Shuren put his arms around Zhulan's waist, "I'm thinking about it, I just know that I can pass it, but I don't know the ranking."

Zhulan held Zhou Shuren in a restless manner, and pulled her hand more and more courageously, "Let go."

Boss Zhou, "......"

He wanted to quit, but when his father saw him, his scalp became numb, and he became depressed. Why did he meet every time, oh, who made him the boss? Someone came from the family, and he was responsible for calling his father what!

He will have a long memory next time, even if the door is open, he will stand outside the door and wait for his father to agree before entering the house.

Zhou Shuren stared at the boss to go out, and then let go of his hand, seeing that Zhulan didn't notice the boss, hooked the corner of his mouth, and his fleshy skin was saved.

Boss Zhou stood at the door watching Dad come out, lowered his head, "Father, the patriarch's second uncle is here."

Zhou Shuren said kindly, and said to Zhou Laodao who wanted to slip away, "Keep your mouth shut."

Boss Zhou, "...Yes."

If Father didn't warn him, he wouldn't dare to speak out!

Because the patriarch's second son came, Zhulan asked Li to add two more dishes in the evening. The patriarch asked his son to come to Pingzhou to wait for the news of the township examination.

Zhou Shuren was the only one who took part in the township examination this year. The patriarch was very worried at home and couldn't help letting his son come to Pingzhou in advance.

Time passed quickly, and it was finally time for the results. Zhou Shuren sent the eldest and second child to see the results, and the patriarch's son also followed.

Zhou Shuren didn't go to see the results in person. There must be a lot of people on this list. He doesn't want to go to the crowd to find fault. Anyway, he might as well wait at home with peace of mind. Letting these two stamp their feet in circles early in the morning makes people look upset, so it's better to send them all out, so that he can calm down.

Boss Zhou and the others had just left when the servants of the Jiang Mansion arrived, "The little one greets Master Juren, and the little one congratulates Master Juren for winning the second place, Yayuan."

Zhou Shuren is silent,

Wu Ming still didn't pass the exam, and smiled, "Master Jiang, please remember."

The servants of Jiang's mansion smiled and said: "My lord said that it is the in-laws who should."

The servants thought, I never expected that Zhou Xiucai would become a Juren lord, and he would be able to go to Beijing next year to catch up with the exam. Maybe the Zhou family will also be an official in the future! It seems that he will be more polite to Zhou Changlian in the future.

Even though Zhulan had the self-confidence given by Zhou Shuren, she didn't hear the letter, and she was worried about it. Now she was finally relieved, and handed out two taels of silver to the servants, "It's been a hard trip, sticky and happy to drink. "

The servants of Jiang's mansion quickly picked it up, "Thank you, Mrs. Juren, for the reward. I'll go back and report to you first."

As soon as the words fell, outside the gate of Zhou's mansion, the people who announced the good news came, and Zhu Lan instructed Chang Lian, "Go out and set off firecrackers."

The servants of Jiang's mansion followed him out after seeing it.

Zhou's family had all gone to the front yard, while Rong Chuan and Chang Zhi were carrying baskets containing copper coins to spread wedding money at the gate.

The process of Zhongju and Zhongxiucai is different, and the people who announce the good news are different. Many people who won the Juren came, and Zhulan gave the happy money that she had prepared long ago to the people who announced the good news.

Waiting for the person who announced the good news to leave, he began to spread the happy money. This time the movement was particularly loud, and everyone in the street knew that there was a big difference between juren and scholar. , There are even more people who are flattered by Juren.

Wu's house is not far from Zhulan's house. There are two Juren in this area, one is Jie Yuan who is the first, and the other is Ya Yuan who is the second. Many people think this area has good Fengshui!

Bamboo orchid is far away and you can still hear about Fengshui!

The Zhou family went back to the yard, Zhou Shuren took Chang Lian and Chang Zhi to receive the male guests in the front yard, Zhu Lan went back to the back yard, looked at Li Shi and smiled: "Li Shi, why are you still sticking around, why don't you hurry up and buy it?" Wine to buy meat?"

Li's face was flushed with excitement, her father-in-law became a juren, and she knew that her father-in-law would definitely be a juren, so she responded very loudly, "Mom, I'll go right away."

Mrs. Zhao is also excited. Father-in-law will be able to become an official in the future. She sees what Dong will be proud of in the future, "Mother, I'll go to the kitchen to light a fire and boil water."

Zhulan saw that Mrs. Zhao glanced at Mrs. Dong, and Mrs. Zhao had a grudge against Mrs. Dong, "Go."

She doesn't want to care about the conflict between the two of them anymore, as long as she doesn't step on her bottom line, they can do whatever they like and don't bother her.

Dong's impact is the biggest. She is different from her sister-in-law who is determined that her father-in-law can pass the exam, and she is not like the second sister-in-law who expects her father-in-law to pass the exam. In fact, she is the most contradictory in her heart. She hopes that her father-in-law will be more confident in the exam. Some, and don't want her father-in-law to pass the exam, because she knows that her father-in-law will rush to the exam if he wins the exam. Once he wins the Jinshi, he will have an orthodox official background, unlike her father who is always not orthodox, and she has no advantage in the Zhou family. up.

Don't worry about it now, her father-in-law has been promoted, all she has to do is to please her mother-in-law, so that her father-in-law will not take the third room when she goes to the capital in the future, she is quite excited when she thinks about it, relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, no matter how good a brother-in-law is, it is not as good as father-in-law More reliable too!

Xuehan got up and asked, "Mom, what can I do to help?"

Zhulan pinched her daughter's little nose, "Just stay with your mother obediently."

Dong returned to her senses, and saw that she was the only daughter-in-law left, "Mother, I'll help the second sister-in-law."

Zhulan said: "You don't need to go, there will be a female relative coming to the door later, you help me socialize."

With Mrs. Dong around, she can relax easily. This is what Mrs. Dong is good at. Boiling water is too overkill.

There was a smile on the corner of Dong's mouth, and Mother asked her to accompany the reception. Finally, Mother stopped being angry with her, "Hey!"

Zhou Shuren won the Juren, not only the neighbors came to the door to rejoice, but also the nearby merchants came to the door. After a while, the Zhou family received a lot of gifts.

Although the second to tenth places are all Yayuan, but Zhou Shuren's is the second place, the real second place, plus the Zhou family is related to Jiangfu, Xu Jinshi, so naturally they are all willing to come to the Zhou family to congratulate.

Moreover, Zhou Shuren's age also has an advantage. No one favors Zhou Shuren's age as a scholar. Who knows how many years it will take to pass the Juren examination, but Juren at this age is very different. Juren around forty years old is even more mature, let alone mature. It's safe, don't think that Zhou Shuren is the second place, in fact, compared with Wu Ming, many people are more optimistic about Zhou Shuren.

Especially knowing that Zhou Shuren passed the Juren examination only once, which shows Zhou Shuren's ability. Some small officials in Pingzhou City sent people to give gifts even though they didn't come to congratulate them in person.

Zhulan and Dong's reception in the backyard were also busy. Originally, Zhulan wanted to celebrate with her family, but unfortunately the male guests in the front yard did not leave. Zhulan asked Mingyun to ask Zhou Shuren what he meant, and asked Zhou's second child to go to the nearby The restaurant has reservations.

In the afternoon, Zhou Shuren took people to the restaurant. Zhou Shuren, the main character, left, and the door of the Zhou family was finally able to close.

Zhulan rubbed her cheeks, this was exhausting her to death.

Mrs. Li said excitedly: "Mother, come and take a look, the presents received today are almost filling the room."
