Chapter 365 Excited
Zhang, the yamen runner, took one look at her and recognized her as Ye Dalang's wife.
"Sister-in-law, congratulations, Wei Xiu is on the list."
Wei Xin cried with joy. The future of her two younger brothers was settled. She felt that she had fulfilled her father's instructions.
This time, Zhang, the yamen runner, came to collect several gifts. The head of the village invited them to have dinner, but they did not stay and wanted to go to Ji Village first to report the good news.
"Erlang, take Ye Qing and your sister-in-law to Ji Village. Your uncle and aunt are old, so go and help take care of them."
Ye Erlang agreed, led the ox cart out, and saw Ye Fan's wife watching the fun at the door.
Ye Qing called her, "Sister-in-law, let's go to Ji Village. Are you free? Go and help."
Wang Yun wanted to join in the fun, so she said goodbye to her mother-in-law and followed the ox cart to Ji Village.
Zhang Yayi and his companions took the official road, but Ye Erlang led them on a small path and arrived a little earlier than Zhang Yayi.
Grandpa Wei was a little surprised when he saw them, "Come in, how come you have time to come here?"
Wei Xin led a few people to greet them, "Grandpa, Wei Xiu passed the exam and the messenger will be here soon. Please prepare some money for the wedding. I will go and boil some water."
Grandpa Wei's eyes widened. Ye Erlang was worried that the old man might fall, so he quickly walked over to hold him.
"Grandpa, sit down and rest for a while."
Wei Xin looked at his grandfather's face and felt a little scared, so he poured a bowl of water for Grandpa Wei.
The old man drank some water and recovered. "Good boy, I don't need to worry about the two brothers anymore."
Grandpa Wei had also seen big scenes. He had experienced one when his eldest grandson passed the imperial examination and became a scholar.
This time, I just heard the news suddenly.
Grandpa Wei went into the house in high spirits and asked Grandma Wei to prepare a red envelope.
When Grandma Wei was preparing the red envelope, she found out that her grandson had passed the examination and became a scholar.
She packed the money while wiping away tears, and was willing to let her grandson go immediately after he got married.
Wei Xin was persuading Grandma Wei in the house, while Ye Qing and Wang Yun went to the kitchen to busy themselves.
Ye Erlang did not go into the house, but was preparing the table and incense and candles in the yard.
When we receive the good news, there will definitely be some excitement.
Wei Xin watched the two old men regain their composure and hurried to prepare food.
There will be people coming to join in the fun, and they can also share in the joy.
The Xu family nearby heard the commotion here, and Boss Xu came over to take a look.
His third brother is the manager of the Ye family, and he wants their family to take care of the Wei family.
I felt relieved only when I saw Wei Xin.
"Sister Wei, how come you have time to come back and visit me today?" Boss Xu took a bench and sat at the door.
Ye Erlang came over to talk to him, "Brother Xu, Wei Xiu passed the exam and the bailiff will be here soon to announce the good news."
Boss Xu couldn't sit still anymore and stood up suddenly.
"Really? That's great. Congratulations. I'll ask someone to clean up the outside of the yard so that the adults won't laugh at you later."
Boss Xu ran away like the wind, and soon the neighbors came out with brooms.
He first congratulated the Wei family and then quickly cleaned the outside.
In fact, the street outside had already been swept in the morning, but after the neighbors heard about this happy event, they still came to clean it again, and the whole street was swept spotlessly clean.
Everyone who heard the news came and gathered outside the yard, chatting and waiting for news.
Everyone in the village envied the Wei family. When they first came here, their family was the most miserable family in the village. Unexpectedly, within a few years, they all became scholars.
Ye Erlang listened to the conversation outside, which became more and more off-topic, and everyone was saying that the feng shui of Ji Village was in the hands of the Wei family.
Ye Erlang came out quickly. If this news got out, the Wei family could not afford the consequences.
"Everyone should still send their children to school. This year, two scholars were admitted to the private school in our village." Ye Erlang told the results of Ye Zhu and Wang Xin, and the eyes of the people around him were full of enthusiasm.
"Brother Ye, my son is studying in your private school. Do you think he can pass the exam and become a scholar?" Xu Laoqi looked at Ye Erlang with hope.
Ye Erlang did not give him a definite answer, "As long as you study hard, you will definitely achieve something. As everyone knows, the books in our village private school are more than those in the city."
Everyone in Ji Village knew about this. Some of the shops in their village that opened at the dock also joined the 10% discount promotion.
"I will keep an eye on my son's studies when I get home. If others can pass the exam, why can't he?"
After saying this, everyone around laughed.
Some people secretly made up their minds to send their sons there to study when they returned. Even if they didn't have to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, at least they could become an accountant.
While everyone was talking lively here, Ye Erlang saw that no one was discussing Feng Shui, so he went back to his work with peace of mind.
Soon, the sound of gongs and drums was heard outside the village. Xu Lizheng hurried out of the house and went to the village entrance to greet them.
The people gathered at the door also wanted to go to the village entrance to take a look, but thinking that the team would be here soon, no one moved. They couldn't lose the position they had secured with great difficulty.
Ye Qing took Wang Yun to the door to watch the fun, and some people brought firecrackers over.
Xu Lizheng brought his men over and firecrackers started popping.
Wei Xin helped her grandparents out and looked at the approaching team with tears in her eyes.
Zhang, the yamen runner, looked at the prepared incense table and asked loudly.
"Is this Wei Xiu's house?"
Grandpa Wei said "yes" several times, but he couldn't say anything else and his mind was blank.
"Wei Xiu is number nineteen on the list." Yamen runner Zhang handed over the written ranking with a smile.
Seeing that his grandparents didn't react, Wei Xin stuffed a red envelope into the person's pocket.
Zhang the yamen runner and others took the red envelope, said a few auspicious words, and were about to go back.
Xu Lizheng hurriedly asked them to stay, "Sir, it's getting late. Have lunch before going back."
Zhang the bailiff did not agree. The villagers had prepared the meal and it was already late.
"Master Zhang, please go to our village to eat. The head of the village told me before I came here that they are preparing food in the village and asked me to take you back."
Zhang thought about it and agreed. There were many people from Kaoshan Village on the list this year, so they went to share in the good fortune.
Ye Erlang invited Li Zheng Xu to have dinner together, but Li Zheng did not agree. They would wait for Wei Xiu to come back before holding the banquet.
Wei Xin didn't leave. She stayed at home and chatted with the old couple.
Ye Qing and Wang Yun did not leave either. They were busy boiling water at home to entertain guests. All the villagers came to the Wei family to congratulate them.
Kaoshan Village was also very busy. Nanny Wang was invited away by the head of the village to help cook for several policemen.
The villagers’ cooking skills are average and not as delicious as what Nanny Wang cooks.
Zhou also went to help. This was a happy event in the village, and they contributed what they could.
After the runners had eaten and drunk their fill, the village head sent someone to send them back.
When they arrived in Wu'an City, it was also time for Ye Dalang to get off work, so he followed the village car back home.
The people who went to the provincial capital haven't come back yet. Shen and Wei are both at Ye's house. They are so happy and want to talk to people.
Ye Qiu brought his parents-in-law to the Ye family's house. The old couple from the Sun family had already kowtowed to their ancestors at home to thank them for their blessings.
"My dear relatives, my two grandsons were able to pass the imperial examination and become scholars thanks to your family." Grandma Sun said this sincerely while holding Li's hand.
