Volume 2, Chapter 118: Marriage

Although Old Man Dong and Old Mrs. Qian did not ask Dongming how Ziyu did in the exam, they offered incense to their ancestors every day and asked them to bless him to pass the exam.

Being in Fengcheng is not as convenient as being in the county seat, and you can't send people every day to see if there are any lists. It's even more anxious to wait.

More than ten days later, Li Zheng and Jiang Hexuan sent someone to report the good news. Dongming Ziyu passed the government examination and officially became a child student! And he was also the first criminal.

After hearing the news, everyone in the Dong family was overjoyed, and Mrs. Qian even cried with joy.

The news spread quickly, and everyone in the Dongzhou family came to congratulate them one after another, and everyone was overjoyed. They saw hope that if Dongming Ziyu could become a scholar, then their waists would be straighter.

Mrs. He even took out the firecrackers she secretly bought in advance and asked the children to light them. A group of children gathered around and cheered, adding to the festive atmosphere.

This matter for Old Mrs. He was deeply rooted in Mrs. Qian's heart. She felt that after being a sister-in-law for so many years, this old lady had finally done something personal.

Wulang pulled his little nipple and shouted loudly: "My father has passed the Tongsheng examination. Isn't he awesome? Isn't he awesome?"

A group of little carrot heads around them all clapped their hands and responded: "Awesome! Awesome! So awesome!"

Dongming Ziyu, the supreme emperor of Dongming Kingdom in Canglan Continent: "..."

Tong Sheng is very powerful?

Amidst the crackling sound of firecrackers, Jiang Hongda, Chu Xing, Tan Boxuan, Su Changgeng and others came over.

Dongming Ziyu had no choice but to go up to him and clasped his fists in salute.

With joy on his face, Jiang Hongda patted Dongming Ziyu on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother Dong, I knew you could do it!"

Chu Xing smiled and said: "Congratulations, congratulations."

Tan Boxuan said in admiration: "You are very powerful!"

He was a martial artist and had been afraid of studying since he was a child. Dongming Ziyu was a refugee who had put down his books for many years and took the case examination as soon as he got there. He must have real talent and practical knowledge.

Su Changgeng also clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations, congratulations. You captured the head of Tong Sheng's case as soon as you got off the stage. Wouldn't you also be able to capture the head of Xiucai's case?"

His tone was perfunctory and sour, but he didn't expect this beggar to have more trouble!

Dongming Ziyu glanced at him indifferently and said, "It's just a fluke. It's not so easy to be a scholar."

Dong Youliang knew that Dongming Ziyu was unwilling to talk to Su Changgeng, so he came forward and said with a smile: "Village chief, some adults, please come into the house to talk."

Several people entered the waiting room, Erlang took Sanlang, and Shilang served them snacks and tea.

They are all homemade snacks, sweet and tangy, one bite at a time, beautiful in appearance, exquisite and delicious.

Su Changgeng picked up a piece of walnut cake and ate it, and praised: "It's really delicious. No wonder it attracted Boss Xu from Fengcheng to come to you for cooperation. I heard that Boss Xu is the brother-in-law of Fengcheng's teaching."

Jiang Hongda sneered and said: "What kind of brother-in-law, he is just a concubine. He is just pulling a tiger skin to make a big flag. If the emperor knows what he has done, he will have to sell his sister."

Chu Xing changed the subject and asked Dongming Ziyu: "You are the head of the case. Are you taking part in this year's college examination?"

Dongming Ziyu nodded, "Yes, at least with a reputation, I can open a dim sum shop and have people step in."

Chu Xing said: "Don't worry, I have already said hello to the county magistrate. No one in Liulin County will dare to think of your dim sum recipes anymore."

That means they can't control people outside Liulin County.

Dongming Ziyu cupped his fists and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu."

The few of them said a few more polite words and then stood up to leave. Dongming Ziyu politely asked to leave the meal, but several people declined. They came rashly, and the host had no preparations. It would be rude to leave the meal.

People were coming and going at home, and Mrs. Qian was no longer stingy, giving out home-made toffee to everyone.

Jiang Hongda felt that he had made the right decision, so when he got home, he asked his son to send Dongming Ziyu some reference books for the college examination.

The county magistrate also sent people to send books and collections of test questions from previous college examinations. He also rewarded him with fifty taels of silver. He also invited Dongming Ziyu to study at the county school and asked Mr. Juren to give him some guidance.

Dongming Ziyu's self-study was considered a wild road, and having his teacher guide him would avoid detours. The county magistrate also had good intentions, hoping that Dongming Ziyu could be admitted as a scholar. After all, academic administration was an important part of the imperial court's performance evaluation.

Mrs. Qian also wanted to serve wine, but Dongming Ziyu stopped her. Tong Sheng had only obtained permission to take the scientific examination. It did not count as an honor and there was nothing to celebrate.

The next day, Dongming Ziyu came to thank the county magistrate, saying that he would study at home and not go to the county school.

The case leader Dongming Ziyu became famous in Liulin County, and many people discovered his potential. The most obvious manifestation was that matchmakers often came to his home.

Fifteen-year-old Da Ya, fourteen-year-old Er Lang, thirteen-year-old Er Ya, and even the fourteen-year-old Da Ni and twelve-year-old Er Ni from Mrs. He's side have all been proposed for marriage.

There were still four months until the college entrance examination. If Dongming Ziyu passed the examination, their family's family status would be truly upgraded. Therefore, the children's marriages were all declined because they were still young.

Dongming Ziyu began to study behind closed doors again. After passing the Tongsheng Examination, he also knew what the focus of the scientific examination here was, and he checked for any omissions and filled them up.

Shangguan Ruoli did the logistics work, treated people, taught children, or went to the mountains to collect medicine, and lived a very fulfilling life.

On this day, someone came to call her: "Wu Lang, someone is injured in the mine, and he has been taken to the hospital."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Ruoli took several apprentices to the hospital.

Su Changgeng used it and said: "Brothers and sisters, this laborer smashed his head and broke his leg."

Shangguan Ruoli frowned. Su Changgeng looked down on them who were fleeing from the famine. He usually called her "Hey, you". Why did he call her "younger brother and sister" today?

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing, and it is definitely not a good thing.

I was alert in my heart but didn't show it on my face. I stepped forward to check on the injured person. Fortunately, his life was not in danger. Everyone had experience in dealing with trauma and it was quickly dealt with.

When Su Changgeng saw Shangguan Ruoli coming out of the house, he hurriedly asked: "Brother and sister, how is he?"

Shangguan Ruoli said calmly: "It's not life-threatening. I lost too much blood and my leg has been reattached. I have to observe it here for a few days. As long as I don't have a fever, I can get through it."

Su Changgeng said with a smile: "My brothers and sisters are really superb in their medical skills."

Shangguan Ruoli was noncommittal, "I'm going to get some medicine."

"Hey!" Su Changgeng stopped her and stopped talking.

Shangguan Ruoli paused, turned around, raised his eyebrows slightly, "Is there anything else?"

Su Changgeng touched his mustache and said with a smile: "I have something good I want to talk to you about."

Shangguan Ruoli was a little annoyed when he saw the adultery hidden in his smile, and said, "If you have something to tell my father, Wu Lang, I am a woman and can't do anything at home."

Su Changgeng smiled and said: "No, no, no, women can also make the decision on this good thing I mentioned, because it is related to your daughter's marriage."
