Chapter 429 Two old men

Facing the old couple's eager eyes, Xu Nuoyan nodded heavily, and the smile on his face never broke, "Er Dan won the Jinshi. The three irons are better, and he is second in the number of spells, second place!"

“His! Isn’t that a double Jinshi?” Someone shouted in shock.

Xu Nuoyan echoed: "It's like a double Jinshi. Grandpa and grandma are all in our house!"

Old man Yang and Mrs. Li were stunned, and there was no movement for a long time.

Yang Laosan noticed something was wrong and quickly slapped Old Yang hard, "Dad, come to your senses!"

Old man Yang finally reacted, but his eyes were filled with tears. He was so excited that his whole body was shaking and he couldn't walk.

 Li's case was similar. Xu was so happy that her legs were so weak that she was about to sit on the ground and cry loudly. Fortunately, Xu Nuoyan helped support her.

The villagers also came to help, and then they comforted the old couple and escorted them back to their old home.

After the villagers sent the person back, they said some words of congratulations. Knowing that it was difficult for the Yang family to keep people in this situation and it was getting dark, they all left.

Yang Xiaoya and her maids boiled water for them, and then Old Man Yang and Mr. Li recovered.

Old man Yang and Mrs. Zhou were so excited that they seemed to have many questions and didn't know where to start.

Xu Nuoyan was worried that something might happen to the old couple if they were too excited, so he quickly reassured her, "Grandpa and grandma, Erdan is already on his way back to Quzhou Mansion. We won't be here during the New Year this year, but Erdan and Sizhuang will be here, and they will come back to reunite with you. If something happens at home, you can send someone to Fucheng to let you know.

In addition, our family has two Jinshi, and we also want to thank the village for taking care of it. My mother-in-law means to buy some family land, ask the villagers to take care of it, pay the villagers for the work, sell the harvested grain, and get the money. Used in village education and relief for the elderly and children living alone in the village.

We will discuss the specific arrangements with the village chief. As for ancestor worship and banquets, grandpa and grandma can take care of it. We can’t come back, but we must have the proper etiquette. "

After saying that, she took out 5,000 taels and handed it to the old couple in front of the third roommate, and said: "One more thing, the third brother is now old enough. It's time to get married. He is interested in sister Xiaohua. A Niang wrote back. , let me go to Uncle Han’s house to ask for Santie’s hand in marriage.”

When this kind of thing was mentioned, the old couple immediately recovered.

Li asked anxiously: "Santie is really willing to marry Xiaohua? Will he not dislike her?"

She had long wanted Yang Santie and Yang Xiaohua to get together, but neither of them seemed to have such intention at that time. There were some girls around Yang Santie, and she couldn't keep her mouth open. She didn't expect that things would turn out like this. It’s done.

Xu Nuoyan nodded heavily, "Grandma, little sister Xiaohua has very good medical skills. She has treated many dignitaries in the capital. She is very capable. This marriage proposal must be sincere. Grandma has already written to Uncle Han and said that we will ask for a marriage tomorrow. The matchmaker officially comes to propose marriage and exchange marriage certificates. What do you think?"

The time is too tight, so I just need to do everything at the same time.

Ms. Li was very satisfied with this arrangement, "I will do as you said. When the marriage of Santie is finalized, only the fourth village will be left. But the fourth village is not in a hurry. We will talk about it in two years."

Now the eldest grandson has four grandsons. The eldest grandson has inherited the title, and the second and third grandsons have all become Jinshi. The remaining one must also strive to become a Jinshi, and maybe he can marry a better wife.

She is no longer worried about her grandson.

Li's eyes fell on Yang Xiaoya and asked with concern: "Is your mother looking after someone else?"

Yang Xiaoya blushed, "Grandma! I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry!"

Mrs. Li was so coquettish by her that she immediately surrendered, "Okay, okay! Grandma won't say anything, anyway, with your grandma and your four brothers here, no matter where you marry, no one can bully you! Now that you're back, come on Go to Songxi Town to see Wan Niangzi. After all, she is also your husband. "Since Yang Laigui went to Mapu Academy, Li has been going to Songxi Town frequently, and has become familiar with Wan Niangzi, Pan Xiuniang and others.

Yang Xiaoya nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, grandma, I'm awake. I also want to ask my husband this time. If she is willing, I will take her to the capital with me. After all, I told you when I was a disciple that I would give him to you in the future." Mr. Wan lives in retirement.”

Although she has not been in Ping'an County these years, Mrs. Wan is served by a maid arranged by the Yang family. She will also send New Year's gifts during holidays, but she is not allowed to meet her.

“Just remember everything!” Mrs. Li happily touched Yang Xiaoya’s head.

Everyone talked for a while and made promises before taking Yang Xiaoya back.

As soon as they leave.

Mrs. Zhou couldn't wait to shout: "Mom and Dad, you have heard that Erdan and Santie have all become Jinshi and become officials! It's okay for our family to be rich, right?"

Mrs. Li raised her eyelids and said calmly: "The gentleman from the academy said that as long as you calm down and study hard and take the exam slowly, you can do well in the exam. It's true if you don't put pressure on him! "

Zhou was poured cold water on her, but she didn't dare to say anything. She muttered in a low voice, "I didn't do anything."

Yang Laosan didn't want to continue this topic, so he changed the topic and said to Old Man Yang: "Dad, for such a big happy event, we need to inform our relatives and friends, and set up a three-day flowing banquet to let everyone in Ping'an County know that our family has two Jinshis. "

With the promotion of candidates, one can change one's family status, from peasants to scholars, let alone two Jinshi, and the whole village can benefit from it.

"That's right! It's a notification. We'll go to the village chief's house tomorrow. We've decided everything. We also need to ask Erdan Granny to go back and give an explanation to your sister-in-law." Old Man Yang was very anxious and wished he could get it done now. .

The next day, Old Yang went to the village chief’s house before dawn.

The village chief is already very old, much older than Old Man Yang. He can see two Jinshis from his village in his lifetime. He just feels that he has no regrets in dying. He was so happy last night that he drank two more glasses and almost couldn't get up.

When Old Man Yang called him to the yard to talk, he was still dazed. When he learned that Jiang Ning was going to buy family land, he sobered up a little.

Two old men sat in an ordinary farmyard on an ordinary summer morning and quietly finalized several major events in the village.

Yang Xiaoya was escorted by guards to Songxi Town.

Ms. Wan was talking to Pan Xiuniang when she suddenly saw Yang Xiaoya coming in. She was so excited that she lost her sense of control and asked, "Xiaoya?"

“Sir!” Yang Xiaoya knelt down in front of Madam Wan, “Xiaoya is unfilial, taking so long to come see you.”

Mrs. Wan hurriedly helped her up, "What nonsense are you talking about! Although you are not with me, but who of the people serving in my courtyard were not given by you? Why did you come back suddenly?"

Yang little girl Pan Xiuniang greeted her, and then told her the situation at home in detail.

The two of them were very surprised when they heard this.

Pan Xiuniang even smiled from ear to ear, "I said at the beginning that your mother-in-law is extraordinary, and you children must be among the best. No, it has come true! It's great! It's great!"
