Chapter 1621： duty

Chang Zhong took Gu Sheng to find Jiang Du and Jiang Du. Jiang Du and Mu Fan were chatting excitedly about something. When Jiang Du saw his uncle, he said, "We won the Jinshi."

They took advantage of it. They could listen to Grandpa's talk about political affairs. When they heard a lot about the palace exam, they didn't panic. They quoted a few words from Grandpa, and they all won the jinshi. He thought he could only be the same jinshi.

Chang Zhong also smiled, "Great event."

Jiang Du asked Gu Sheng, "Young Master Gu is the champion?"

Gu Sheng shook his head, "Tanhua Lang."

Jiang Du was surprised for a moment, and then felt normal. Whoever said that Hui Yuan must be the champion, "Congratulations."

Gu Sheng returned the salute, "Happy together."

In the future, they will all serve as officials together, but Gu Sheng understands that, even if he is a tanhualang, he doesn't know how in the future. Jiang Du and Mu Fan have Zhou Hou's grandfather and several uncles, and the future is bright.

Ming Rui came over, and Chang Zhong asked, "The rank of Shangguan Liu?"

Ming Rui smiled, "Sixth."

Chang Zhong, "Not bad."

"Yes, the sixth son of Wen is the fifth."

Chang Zhong hit the palm of his hand with a fan, "Almost."

Mingrui nodded, "Yeah, this one is really bad."

Seeing Ming Rui looking at Gu Sheng, Chang Zhong said with a smile, "I saw that Young Master Gu was in trouble and helped me."

Gu Sheng felt embarrassed, "Thank you, Young Master Zhou."

Because of the identity of Zhou Gongzi, no one dared to step forward, and it was the Zhouhou Mansion who was worried.

Chang Zhong said: "I can help you for a day, and in the future, it will be up to you to come to the door."

Gu Sheng smiled, "I understand."

The group separated. Today is the big day for the Jiang family. They don't need to go to the Hou's mansion and go back to the Jiang family directly.

Zhulan brought her daughter-in-law, grandson, and others to the eldest daughter's house. The one who came to announce the good news had just left, and two firecrackers were set at the door to sprinkle the happy money twice.

The old lady of the Jiang family wept with joy, and she did not stop crying when she returned to the main courtyard.

Xuemei was also excited, and she was helpless to her mother-in-law, "Mother, don't cry, it's time for Jiang Du and Jiang Du to come back."

The old lady of the Jiang family can't control it. Her own family is different, and the Jiang family also has an official status. This is a different feeling. Even if her son's paintings are sought after, there is no grandson among the scholars to make her excited.

The old man of the Jiang family also touched his tears, "I am worthy of my ancestors."

Zhulan didn't say a word, now it belongs to the joy of the Jiang family.

After Jiang Sheng was happy, he heard his father say that he would go back to worship his ancestors, and said, "It is a must to worship ancestors."

He also wants to go back with him, lest the eldest brother get too far.

The old man Jiang listened to his son's tone, the old man moved his lips, but didn't say a word. They will follow the old son in the future. The eldest son has his share of the money, and he is rich in his hometown. That's enough. As for the few grandsons who are studying, he has nothing to worry about studying in the Zhou family.

The old man thought about the money and touched his purse. He has income every year, and his land is the size of a small village. This year, he has made a lot of money from raising pigs and geese. debt.

When Jiang Du and several people came back, the kitchen of Jiang's family was already busy. Let's have a simple meal first, and then celebrate in the evening.

In the Ministry of Rites, the second prince wanted to vomit blood, but Zhou Changyi really dared to comment on his article. The words were still okay, but the content of the comments made people angry.

Changyi smiled naively, "My knowledge is not deep, Second Prince Haihan."

What the second prince can do can only laugh, "I heard that Lord Zhou has been studying all the time, so I asked the Lord for advice. Since it's difficult for the Lord, I won't be able to do it in the future."

Changyi said with regret, "Hey, I have to study hard and try to help His Highness as soon as possible."

The second prince put away the article, "The golden list is out. Lord Zhou's nephew and nephew and son-in-law are all on the list. The Ministry of Rites should be divided into a department. Does Lord Zhou have any ideas?"

Changyi's face is still naive, "These two children are lucky, I have no idea, my father should arrange it."

The second prince of the sub-department advocated, and he knew that there was something in it. Now it seems that it is to sell favors, tsk tsk, the second prince is really not very courageous.

The second prince pointedly said: "It's better to stay in the capital than to leave it outside. You must know that not everyone can enter the six divisions."

Changyi's smile did not change, "Your Highness said yes."

The second prince was annoyed, Zhou Changyi had always been like this, he always felt depressed, and finally left with pursed lips.

Master Liu waited for the second prince to leave before coming over, "How did you provoke the second prince?"

"How dare I provoke the second prince."

"The second prince is still young, even if he hides it, he can't hide his displeasure."

Changyi, "The second prince wanted to sell favors to our Houfu, but I didn't respond."

Lord Liu stroked his beard, "I said why the second prince must have a division!"

Changyi, "Let's toss, we just keep our duty."

The next day, they will parade the streets and hold a banquet in the palace in the evening. After the banquet is over, they can return to their hometown to worship their ancestors.

After the banquet, early in the morning, Zhu Lan saw her grandson's face pale, "Did you drink less last night?"

Jiang Du rubbed his forehead, "Well, I know a lot of my grandson, and my grandson rarely drinks, but he drank too much yesterday."

Zhulan, "Then rest for a few days before heading back home to worship ancestors."

Jiang Du nodded, drank a few cups of tea and sobered up, talking about yesterday's banquet, "Mother told me to pay more attention to Zhuo Guyu, I was staring at it last night, grandma asked Zhuo Guyu to come forward last night, and said It was a good conversation, and a glass of wine was given."

Zhulan, "Where's the champion and Tanhualang?"

Jiang Du recalled, "Everyone came forward to talk, and Zhuo Guyu didn't stay as long as Zhuo Guyu came down, and his face couldn't hide his excitement."

Because of the attention, he saw it very clearly. After Zhuo Guyu talked to the emperor, the whole person was a little more flamboyant, and he could feel Zhuo Guyu's good mood from a distance.

Zhulan pondered, the emperor's actions must have deep meaning, forget it, anyway, the emperor's calculations are not her own.

Jiang Du sat for a while and then went back to rest. Zhulan asked Butler Ding to prepare some food for the eldest daughter.

Zhulan got up and went to Yuyi's yard. Yuyi's luggage has been packed and it will leave the day after tomorrow. Please check carefully to see if there is anything left. "

Yu Yi helped her grandma to sit down, "I have already checked and nothing was missed."

Zhulan felt a little reluctant. Yu Yi and the others were going to live in Ningzhou for a while. This trip will last for half a year. "Be careful on the road, and take care of yourselves."

Yu Yi was also reluctant. She grew up with her grandparents, "Well, grandma and grandpa should pay more attention to their bodies."

Zhulan patted her granddaughter's hand, "Okay, okay."

Qingxue took a step forward, and Zhulan took the box and handed it to her granddaughter, "Here are the silver notes and some broken silver prepared by grandma. It is convenient to have more broken silver when going out."

Yu Yi opened the box, and there were only a thousand taels of silver bills alone, and a layer of small silver ingots of five taels of silver, with one or two taels of broken silver scattered on the side, "Grandma, my granddaughter has silver."

Zhulan held Yuyi's hand down, "Grandma knows you have a lot of money in your hand, this is what grandma and your grandfather want, accept it."
