Chapter 284 The Annunciation of the House Examination(1/2)
Inside Shuiqiao Village.
When the sun just rose, everyone was working hard in the fields.
Zhao Youcai was working with hired people at the edge of the field to help plant sugar cane on Zhao Ce's several acres of land.
Then I saw a half-year-old child running hurriedly from the side of the field.
He shouted loudly: "Grandpa, village chief, official officials have come to our village!"
People working in the fields stopped what they were doing.
When the village chief heard that official officials were coming, he did not dare to neglect and trotted to the entrance of the village.
However, he also had some doubts in his heart.
What are the officials doing here this early in the morning?
I heard before that a scholar was born in a village. At that time, officials were dispatched to that village to announce the good news.
But Zhao Ce was taking the Tongsheng Examination, and it was not the time to announce the good news.
Could it be that something happened in Fucheng?
The village chief kept walking and panted until he ran under the big locust tree.
The gongs sounded again and again.
The ladies and aunts who were not working in the fields gathered around.
Among the crowd of onlookers, there seemed to be some people from nearby villages.
Among the crowd, there were three tall horses.
Zhao Youcai walked over and did not bother to wipe the sweat from his forehead. He saluted directly and said, "Masters, I am Zhao Youcai, the principal of Shuiqiao Village."
"I wonder why some officials came to our village?"
The leading official smiled and said: "Zhao Li is just in time, we are here on the order of the Lord."
"The students from Shuiqiao Village won the title of top examiner in this government examination."
"Your Excellency, the Lord of the Palace, specially asked me to come to the home of the head of the case to deliver good news."
The first government trial case?
After Zhao Youcai and others heard this, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Zhao Ce from their village not only got the top spot in the county examination, but also got the top spot in the government examination?
This is an official sent by the Lord of the Palace to deliver the good news!
What a treatment only those talented people get!
When Zhao Youcai heard this, he immediately beamed.
The villagers nearby could not hide the excitement on their faces.
He said: "Zhao Ce is still in Fucheng and has not returned home yet."
"Please invite some officials to my home for tea and some rest."
The host is not here, so as the village chief and uncle, he naturally has to entertain these officials who are delivering the good news.
The leading official thought for a moment and then quickly said: "If that's the case, I won't bother you later."
Zhao Youcai brought a few official servants to his home with a bright smile.
Mrs. Li quickly took the sugar, made several bowls of sugar water, and sent them out.
The official from Fucheng took a sip and said in surprise: "It's sweet."
The county official who led the way smiled and explained: "In Zhao's family, there is an ancestral skill in making sugar."
"This is sugar water made with white sugar."
After hearing this, the two officials exclaimed: "That's it."
"Zhao Anshou is a good reader, and his family is also very capable."
"No wonder Lord Fu values him so much and even asked me to make such a trip."
Hearing what the official said, Zhao Youcai called Zhao Wenhua and whispered a few words.
Zhao Wenhua hurriedly went out and arrived at the workshop in the backyard of Zhao Ce's house.
Not long after, Zhao Wenhao carried several packed candy gift boxes and followed Zhao Wenhua back home.
Wait until several officials finished drinking water and said goodbye.
Zhao Youcai held several packed candy gift boxes in his hand and handed them over.
"Thank you for your hard work, officials. These are some candies made by our family."
"Please don't dislike me."
After several officials took over, Zhao Youcai handed over a few more red envelopes.
"It's a long way back to Fucheng from us. Let's take some of these and go drink some tea so that we can return to life as soon as possible with Lord Fuzun."
Several official servants went on a trip and got a red envelope with a good reward, and also got this fresh candy gift box.
Having received so many benefits from others, they naturally cannot take them for nothing.
So the leading official said: "In that case, let's first wish that Zhao will be able to pass the high school examination."
"If he gets Xiao Sanyuan, it will be the first one in our house in recent decades."
They were official missionaries sent from Fucheng, so what they said was certainly not groundless.
This means that I wish Zhao Ce a small three yuan, so it is really possible that he will get it!
The smiles on the faces of Zhao Youcai and others were even more happy.
The whole village sent the man away happily.
After seeing them off, everyone gathered around Zhao Youcai, Li and others, congratulating them non-stop.
Zhao Youcai said happily: "We will discuss it when Ce'er comes back. After the hospital test, we will set up a running water mat."
"Everyone will notify relatives and friends at that time and they will all come to have a drink. It will be lively."
Zhao Youcai and Li Shi both laughed so hard that they couldn't even see their eyes.
After a lot of fun, I returned home with Zhao Ce's good news.
Mrs. Li's face froze with laughter.
"I don't know when Ce'er and the others will come back."
"When they come back, they have to be well prepared."
"It won't be long before the Qingming Festival."
"No, I'll let Wen Hao help me buy things tomorrow. I have to pay my respects to my siblings this year."
Zhao Youcai sighed: "Yes, during the Qingming Festival, we should worship well."
"Let them bless you to get good results in the examination at Ce Children's Hospital."
The old couple were happy for a while, and then Li smiled and said, "This Cai'er is really a lucky star."
"We have never heard of a double case before!"
In the past, they had thought that if Zhao Ce could be a boy, they would burn high incense.
Who would have thought that Zhao Ce would be the first to win a double crime now?
And judging by what the official said, Zhao Ce’s scholar probably won’t be able to escape either.
Mrs. Li happily murmured: "When Cai'er comes back, I have to prepare more of her favorite dishes."
The two of them were happily discussing what to do after Zhao Ce and the others came back.
The entire Shuiqiao Village was enveloped in joy.
at this time.
The two heads of crime that they had been thinking about so much were already ashore.
However, this shore is not the wharf in the county they are familiar with.
Wu Xueli asked curiously: "What is this place?"
"Why did you stop the boat here and want us to get off?"
The boatman at the bow of the boat hesitated and said: "The pier in front of me is occupied by a big ship."
"Our ship has no place to dock, so we can only send you here to disembark."
"By the way, if you walk not far from here, you can see the road."
"I, let's go first..."
After saying that, he bent down and unloaded the luggage of Zhao Ce and others.
