Bastard’s Resurgence

After the county's trial, the cherry blossoms were in full bloom, and the old lady of the Zhang family was in a great mood.

After the county test list was released, all the students who were well-known on the list would gather at the banquet hosted by Nie County Zun. This banquet was set at Zhang’s Guanjing Mountain and was called the "Sakura Banquet."

The name "Sakura Banquet" is also a name that Zhang Jiachu deliberately came up with, and its origin is naturally based on the Lu Ming Banquet.

For scholars, one of the biggest things in life is the candle night in the bridal chamber, and the other is the deer-ming banquet given by the imperial court to celebrate and represent the great glory when they are inscribed on the gold list.

Luming banquets are usually held in September, and September is the season when the sweet-scented osmanthus fragrant, so the Luming banquet is also called "Osmanthus fragrans". Now Xinhe County is hosting a "cherry blossom banquet", and its meaning is self-explanatory.

The banquet is a kind of honor and encouragement for the students. The boy test in the county is just beginning. After the county test, there are still two levels to get the qualifications for the student. The cherry blossom banquet in Xinhe County is naturally the main encouragement. factor.

Of course, the "Sakura Banquet" also has one thing that is the focus of attention, that is, the county test case is the first. The county test case is the first to receive attention, not only because the Zhang family is rewarded with one thousand taels of silver.

More importantly, the leader of the county test case must pass the government test and the hospital test. This is almost a sure thing, and it is an unspoken rule that has been agreed upon. That is to say, after the first Xiucai county test in Xinhe County, Can be revealed!

The county put the list three days after the test. On the day of the list, the cross street was crowded, and the "Sakura Banquet" of Zhang's family was already prepared. The old lady asked Hua Hanjun to make the banquet according to the best standards. To do it.

Some of the several cases that Hua Hanyun had prepared at the beginning were quite old. The old lady was dissatisfied after reading them, so Cui Da paid a lot of money and bought new ones all.

The old lady is in good spirits, and Hua Hanyun approached the old lady and said, "My ancestor, don’t do it yourself. Can I handle this little thing? You always keep your heart in your stomach, I Safekeeping is done properly."

Mother Zhang smiled, and said: "Sister Hua, I'm naturally at ease doing things, but I can't sit still in the yard for such a big thing today, and I feel comfortable when I walk around!"

Hua Hanyun said again: "My ancestor, I know all the other arrangements for the banquet. It's just a few banquets. Brother Zheng and Brother Hao had an unpleasant relationship. If today..."

"Okay, Han Yun, don't worry about it, where could the surnamed Lu get on the list? If he gets on the list, our Zhang family sows can be on the tree!" The old lady snorted coldly.

Hua Hanyun was taken aback for a while, and then laughed, the old lady waved her hand and said: "Okay, you are busy now. I heard some people are arguing outside. It should be the list. The person who announces the good news is here. !"

The old lady was gone, Hua Hanyun was muttering in her heart. She was very keen. On the day the old lady fell ill, Zhang Chengxi came over and said a few words to the old lady. The old lady was cured. At that time, Hua Hanyun felt weird in her heart.

But today, hearing what the old lady said, her old man is very clear about the county test list? Before the list was released, her elder knew about it. Isn't this too powerful? Can she be sure that Lu Zheng is not on the list?

Hua Hanyun had things hidden in her heart, and she was a little absent from work. The housekeeper Cui Da was directing people to work nearby, and Hua Hanyun leaned over and said:

"The housekeeper, our old lady is really good now. She knows everything about the county test list. It's no wonder that the old lady is so strict. The housekeeper wants to know a lot of inside information, right?"

Cui Da smiled faintly, and said: "What does the mistress want to know? If you want to know about brother Zheng, the old slave may not be able to say it. The old lady has said that everyone is in charge, and there will be some hits. Don’t force it if there is no hit. The old slave wants to know, but knows that it’s useless to think more."

Hua Hanyun frowned, took a deep look at Cui Da, and cursed an old thing secretly, but his expression remained unchanged. She suddenly thought of Yushan at this time. At this time, Liu Wan on Yushan might be eager to see through, right?

Hua Hanjun returned to Qiugui Garden. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Zhang Jing. She couldn't help but stunned for a moment, and said coldly: "Oh, isn't this the second master? What kind of wind is this blowing the second master? "

Zhang Jing coughed awkwardly, rubbing his hands vigorously and said: "I will put the list right away, come back and want to see Brother Zheng's Annunciation!"

Hua Hanyun frowned and said, "Huh, brother Zheng? He's nothing!"

"Impossible!" Zhang Jing twitched his neck and said, "Brother Zheng has nothing to do, so don't put on the cherry blossom banquet of our family."

"Don't you believe it?" Hua Hanyun raised her brows: "Believe it or not! I'm too lazy to talk with you."

Zhang Jing said: "My dear sister, don't be angry, or let's go directly to the old lady's yard. The list will definitely start at this time. I just heard someone hit the gong!"

While Zhang Jing was talking, he heard the sound of gongs, and then he heard roaring and noisy noises. Someone could be heard shouting from afar: "Brother Jane is on the list!"

Zhang Jing raised his brows and said, "It's Zhang Zhen's kid, hey, I didn't expect this kid to do it too!" Zhang Jing said, stepping towards the old lady's yard, and Hua Hanyun also subconsciously followed Behind her.

In fact, it was not just them, the whole Zhang family who heard the sound of gongs all rushed to the old lady's yard, and the imperial examination list was released. This is a great happy event!

The old lady’s yard was crowded with people. Not only the wives, grandma, and the girls came, but Zhang Chengxi and Zhang Chengbei also arrived. Zhang Haoran, the brother of the Zhang family, and others were all there, as well as Wu Fu and Mrs. Wu. Today, Master Nie was entrusted to supervise the preparation of the "Sakura Banquet" at Zhang's house, and Zhang Chengxi and the old lady were invited to the yard.

The few people who came to announce the good news, all holding gongs in their hands, knocked all the way, until the old lady stopped the sound of the gong in the courtyard, and then began to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, congratulations, Zhang Family Zhang Zhen ranked 56th in the county test, and she is on the list!" Announcing Zhang Zhen's name, firecrackers were immediately set off outside.

Zhang Zhen was surrounded by everyone, and a big red flower hung on her chest, like a bridegroom official. Seeing his face full of joy, she almost fainted with joy.

The old lady laughed from ear to ear, and raised her hand and said, "Look at it!"

Cui Da immediately presented the silver he had prepared, and there were as many as ten taels per person. The gang of Annunciations were also happy to receive the silver, and they said many compliments one by one.

The atmosphere in the yard is very festive and harmonious. Among the children of the Zhang family, Zhang Zhen has the worst talents. He is on the list. And Zhang Tang and Tian Zepeng are still certain? The suspense now is whether Tian Zepeng can win the case!

At this time, the list has come out, and the results will be announced soon. At this time, ordinary scholars are rushing to the cross street of Zhang Bang, but the Zhang family and other big families are talking about tolerance.

If there is any happy event, if others rush over to announce the good news, they will be rewarded with silver. The Zhang family's move is so lavish, and the people of the good news are not rushing to it?

Zhang Tang was already eager to try, and did not let him wait too long. The sound of the gong came again, and several people rushed from the door knocking on the gong. The door leading the way opened and ran away, wishing to support their legs. Too!

A group of people ran to the old lady's yard, and the leader reported again: "Congratulations, congratulations, Zhangjia Zhangtang ranked 48th in the county test, and he is on the list!"

"Clang, clang!"

Two more gongs rang, and Zhang Tang was surrounded by everyone again. This kid was more excited than Zhang Zhen, and shouted in a choreography, "I'm on the list, I'm on the list! That looks like a hysteria."

However, at this time, everyone didn't care about those small sections anymore. The old lady was too happy and gave the silver reward. She stood up and waved at Zhang Tang and Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen and Zhang Tang walked up to her. She grabbed one in one hand and said, "My dear grandson, today the lintel of our Zhang family shines!"

Zhang Baoyi said next to him: "Grandma, someone will come to announce the happy announcement later! Cousin Tian's happy announcement hasn't arrived yet!"

When Zhang Baoyi talked about Tian Zepeng, his face showed extreme excitement. Zhang's mother also nodded and said, "It seems that today my Zhang family’s first silver reward is in charge. If Zepeng can win a talent, I immediately agree. Tian's marriage letter!"

When Mother Zhang said this, Tian Zepeng, who had rushed over a long time ago, instantly appeared extremely excited. The old lady's words meant that his marriage to Zhang Baoyi was completed.

In the Dakang Dynasty, the marriage ceremony for men and women was more complicated. First, there was a marriage contract, then the betrothal gift and marriage certificate were required, and finally the marriage was allowed.

Although the Zhang family and the Tian family had a marriage contract, the Tian family was in a poor family situation. The lack of the bride price would hurt the decent of the Zhang family. Without the bride price, there would be no way to mention matters after the bride price. This matter can only be left hanging.

This is what the Tian family is worried about now. The old lady has taken away all the troubles of the Tian family in one sentence. As long as Tian Zepeng wins the case today, he will have everything he wants.

The old lady's remarks caused everyone in the Zhang family to cheer. Zhang Baoyi's face was flushed, but she was also overjoyed. Zhang Chengxi smiled reservedly, and was faintly proud when he was happy.

This time the county test was finally carried out according to his will. Although there were some small episodes in the middle, especially Wu Fu caused him a lot of trouble, the result was satisfactory.

He turned his head and glanced at Wu Fu, and said, "Master Wu, you should have a few drinks at the cherry blossom banquet tonight. The county test master Wu personally caught everything in every detail. It's hard work. Are you satisfied with the result?"

Wu Fupi smiled and said without a smile: "Then it depends on Mrs. Zhang's satisfaction or dissatisfaction. If Mrs. Zhang is satisfied, ours may not be satisfied. If Zhang's family is not satisfied, ours may be satisfied. The world's affairs, Everyone can’t be satisfied, Master Zhang, is that true?"

"Haha!" Zhang Chengxi laughed loudly and said, "Master Wu, I am very satisfied today!"

Wu Fu still had that dead face, and said faintly: "Master Zhang, is it too early to say?"

Zhang Chengxi shook his head and said, "It's not early, everything is already under control! I heard that Master Wu is very optimistic about the kid surnamed Lu, but it is a pity that Master Wu may be disappointed in the end, this kid surnamed Lu The iron name is lost to Sunshan!"
