Chapter 287 One joy after another
"Grandma, he was sent back from the capital by my mother to deliver news. His name is Song Yi, and he is also a servant of our family." Yang Erdan explained to everyone.
Song Yi came to Rongshu Village for the first time. Everything he saw was new. Seeing that everyone was very warm and friendly to him, he couldn't help but feel excited. He scratched his head and giggled, "My dear, meet the old lady."
"Stop calling me madam, tell us quickly. How is Big Tou's mother doing in the capital? When will they come back?" Li's questions were so numerous that they confused Song Yi's mind.
Song Yi hurriedly told the story about Jiang Ning opening a restaurant in the capital and being granted a posthumous title by the emperor.
The whole workshop was silent for a moment, then the oil pan was filled with water and exploded.
"Oh my God! Are you saying that Aning is not Guang Enbo but Guang Enhou now? How big is Guang Enhou?" Holding the adobe in his hand, Zhang excitedly squeezed into the crowd and looked at Song eagerly. righteous.
Wu didn’t expect her mother-in-law to react so strongly. She was afraid that she would get too excited and hit someone with the adobe, so she hurried over and snatched the adobe away.
Song Yi was a little confused by the question. He thought for a while and said: "The emperor's brothers and princes are the princes. Below the princes are the princes. Usually the princes and princes canonize the descendants of the royal family. If the highest canonized meritorious official is the duke, come down. That’s the Marquis. Everyone says that to be granted the title of Marquis and to be the Prime Minister means that the official is of the highest rank, and the Marquis of Guang’en is very powerful!”
"Dear me! You've reached the top level, how awesome can it be!" Mrs. Liu covered her mouth and exclaimed, came to her senses, and hurriedly went back, "I have to tell my old man, something happened in our village. The Marquis, that’s the Marquis! We have to set off firecrackers to celebrate!”
Yang Erdan was so frightened that he stopped him quickly, "Grandma, don't worry, the imperial edict hasn't been sent to Quzhou Prefecture yet. It won't be too late to make arrangements when it does."
Song Yi nodded, "The younger one traveled very fast all night and took the water route. The speed is much faster. The person who delivered the order probably took a few days at night, but it was quick."
"Then we have to make preparations early!" Mrs. Liu stubbornly dropped her next sentence and disappeared.
Other villagers rushed to express their congratulations to Yang Erdan.
Li Shichu stood aside blankly.
Zhou stepped forward and shook her head slightly, "Auntie, what's wrong with you?"
Li Shi woke up from a dream and couldn't help crying, "It's okay! I'm just so happy! We have your sister-in-law in our family, and future generations don't have to worry about it! I'm so happy that I want to cry, woo woo woo."
Yang Daya and Yang Erya also hurried over to persuade, while Yang Fugui watched the crying Li at a loss.
Because Mrs. Li cried, the villagers turned to comfort Mrs. Li, and Yang Erdan was able to escape.
Ms. Li cried a lot and was in a good mood. She thought of her two grandsons who were studying at Mapo Academy, and quickly looked at Yang Erdan, "Don't think Santie and Sizhuang don't know about this yet! Go and tell them quickly."
Yang Erdan chuckled and said, "Grandma, there's no rush in this matter. The two of them will take the county examination in a few days, so they can't be distracted."
"Take the county examination? What county examination?" Li said with a confused look on her face.
When her two grandsons went to Fucheng to study last year, she thought it was because the eldest daughter-in-law was worried about her going to the capital, so she sent her two younger sons to Fucheng to be taken care of by Erdan and his wife. Before the New Year, the two grandsons came back and said they would go back to Mapo to study. , she just thought that her two grandsons were not comfortable staying in Fucheng, and she was happy that they could come back, so she didn't think much about it.
As a result, Erdan told her that her two grandsons were going to take some county examination, so what was that about?
Because her son was also in the school, Mrs. Zhou knew better, and she was immediately shocked, "Three irons and four villages can end so soon? Auntie, the county examination is the first step for scholars to take the imperial examination. The county examination government has tried it If you are a Tongsheng, you will be a scholar if you pass the exam.”
Ms. Li was stunned, and she suddenly screamed, "What did you say? You said my three irons and four villages can be scholars?" Ms. Zhou was anxious, "No, no, Aniang, I am not like this. mean!"
"I just heard it! That's what you said! I didn't expect that our family could produce a scholar, but there is smoke coming out of the ancestral graves! Bless the ancestors, bless the ancestors!" Li Shi walked around in circles and prayed in various ways.
Seeing this, Ms. Zhou was dizzy and at a loss, so she could only murmur dryly, "Auntie, I really didn't mean that."
After Mrs. Li paid homage to all the gods, she ran out in a hurry, as if she had lost her mind. She almost scared Mrs. Zhou to death, "Auntie, where are you going?"
“I will go back to worship my ancestors!” Mr. Li went crazy.
Zhou staggered.
After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left.
Yang Erdan was worried and hurriedly followed Rui Li and Song Yi to catch up and stare.
This night, Yang Erdan stayed in the old house, waiting for Li's mood to calm down, carefully explaining the various imperial examinations to her, and making sure that Li was fine before going home.
The next day, as soon as the dim light of morning light illuminated this simple village, there was a banging on the door of Jiang Ning's house.
The housekeeper went over to open the door. When he saw that the people coming were Old Man Yang and Yang You, he quickly invited them in.
Old man Yang was extremely excited when he saw Yang Erdan. He kept asking about Jiangning's title and the Three Irons and Sizhuang County Examination. He also eagerly said that he would go to Mapo with him.
Yang Erdan hurriedly advised: "Master, the Three Irons and Four Villages need to prepare for the exam with peace of mind now. You should wait until they finish the exam. I even went over to give them some things and told them to take care of themselves. I won't Talk about my mother-in-law.
If you go, they will definitely be suspicious, so you might as well endure it for two days, right? "
"Yes, yes, yes, you should be careful and you really can't distract them! In this way, I won't go out these days and wait until they come back after taking the exam." Old Yang's excitement still couldn't calm down for a long time.
Yang Erdan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Master, you don’t have to do any of your work?”
Old man Yang waved his hand, "If I don't do it, I won't do it! Anyway, with them here, it doesn't matter if I am missing one."
Now Old Man Yang's main task is to take over the work and then hand it over to a few trusted juniors in the village. His main task is to take turns every day to inspect the places where the juniors work and remind them that they are young people after all. There will be some oversights.
With his reminder, everyone can work with peace of mind and don’t have to worry about finding the next job. Even if Old Man Yang pays for nothing, no one will say anything.
Yang Laosan echoed from the side: "Don't worry, Dad, I'll watch for you. You can just wait for the news at home these days."
After saying that, Yang Laosan asked about Jiang Ning’s return date.
Yang Erdan shook his head, "My mother-in-law didn't say anything. She probably won't come back until Baiweilou's business stabilizes!"
Old Man Yang nodded and said thoughtfully: "My father is illiterate. Write a letter to your mother-in-law for me, telling her to stay in the capital with peace of mind and to take care of everything before coming back. The old man can also help her with things in the village." Hold some."
