Rise From the Humble

The fox shows its tail!

Mrs. Chen didn't speak, she just looked at her uncle and aunt and smiled, with a hint of contempt in her brows.

You talk about showing my man some knowledge, but you also want to use my son to say hello through the back door! Are you embarrassed too? In the past, my son wanted to go to school, but you said he didn’t have the money to let him go! My son wanted you to teach him elementary school, but you said you didn’t have time and refused to let him!

Now, my son finally got good grades and passed the Huiyuan exam, and you want to take advantage of my son! What have you been doing before?

Go through the back door?

You are such an adult, why are you embarrassed? I have no ability, so what’s the use of going through the back door! It’s not like you haven’t been there before. Didn’t you say that your friend’s mentor was a teacher in the county school? Didn’t you say that he participated in setting the questions? I never saw you pass the exam to become a scholar.

Looking back at my son, did my son rely on connections? Did my son go through the back door? Didn’t my son get to where he is today on his own?

Thinking of this, Mrs. Chen was very proud of her son. The more proud she was of her son, the more she thought about Zhu Pingan. This son has just been admitted to Huiyuan, and the family is using his status as a son to get gifts through the back door. How do others think of my son? Besides, accepting gifts will not be good for my son’s future, let alone asking for gifts to get involved!

Therefore, Chen firmly disagreed.

"Second brother, we are brothers fighting tigers, father and son are fighting in the battle. You and I are in the same spirit, and Jun'er and I are both of the same blood as Xi'er. How can we not help Xi'er in the officialdom in the future? Second brother, The officialdom is dangerous." Uncle Zhu Shouren saw that Chen was not easy to persuade, so he broke through from Zhu's father.

"Shouyi, listen to your elder brother." Mr. Zhu also spoke after his eldest son reminded him.

"You kid, why are you so ignorant? Will we still harm you?!" Mrs. Zhu stood up as she spoke.

Father Zhu was under a lot of pressure from his parents' words. He couldn't hold on to the bottom line under the turns of the old man, and he was about to let go.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a rapid knocking on the door outside.

Uncle Zhu Shouren, who was about to achieve his goal, turned his strange eyes to the door, and then saw that the door was pushed open forcefully.

"Keep righteousness."

Many villagers came in at the door. They were so anxious that they called Zhu's father's name as soon as they entered.

"His uncle, what's going on?" Mrs. Chen let go of her hand holding Zhu's father's thigh, stood up and asked.

"What's the matter? Quickly clean up, the person bringing the good news is here again!" An old man in the lead said, patting his thigh, his face flushed with anxiety.

"That's right, hurry up and clean up the Shouyi family. They have reached the east end of the village now. We ran over as soon as we saw them." The people following behind added.

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Chen heard the sound of firecrackers coming from the east end of the village, and she couldn't help but feel happy.

"Hurry up, Juan'er, boil the water and make tea." Mrs. Chen ordered her daughter-in-law Juan'er with a happy face.

"Second sister-in-law, ask Juan'er to boil some water. I'll do it. I'm just here to boil water. My left eyelid kept twitching this morning, and I was still thinking about what good things could happen. It turned out that it was Ying Zhi'er who This is it.”

As soon as Chen finished speaking, the fourth aunt stood up immediately, and after speaking, she went to the kitchen, with a posture of rushing to anyone who stopped me.

The three uncles and three aunts also consciously started to help Zhu's father clean up the yard. Even Zhu Pingjun rolled up his sleeves and went to fetch water. The villagers who came in to announce the good news also started to help clean up the yard.

Suddenly, Mr. Zhu, Mrs. Zhu and the uncle and aunt standing in the yard were very conspicuous.

Cleaning up the yard and waiting for the good news, the people in Xiahe Village are very skilled at doing this. The previous good news was not in vain.

The yard was soon tidied up, and not long after that, the team to announce the good news arrived. This time, it was different from the past. The team to announce the good news was extremely large, with nearly a hundred people, dancing dragons and lions, beating gongs and drums, and walked everywhere. Hanging red flowers make the entire Xiahe Village look joyful.

The spectators in Xiahe Village had never seen such a formation before. They were all amazed. They followed the procession of announcing the good news to Zhu Ping'an's house and surrounded him on three floors inside and three outside.

In addition to the people from Xiahe Village, there were many people who followed the procession to announce the good news, including people from the town and even many from Anqing Mansion. Upon inquiry, there were even people from Fengyang Mansion and Yingtian Mansion.

"Did you see that? That's the county magistrate. The palace magnate is here too. This is the first time." A knowledgeable person who climbed on a tree outside Zhu's house to watch saw the scene in the yard of Zhu Ping'an's house. , couldn't help but marvel.

Then people outside became commotion, and even the master of the palace came in person. The second son of Mr. Zhu's family is really prosperous.

"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, the emperor said: On the 15th day of the third month of the 30th year of the reign of Emperor Jiajing of Xinhai Enke, the imperial court issued a policy for the tribute students from all over the world. Zhu Ping'an ranked first in the first class and was awarded the title of Jinshi. Therefore, this is an edict."

"Congratulations to Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu, for being the top pick in high school, and being listed in the top honors in the Beijing News."

The voice of the officer who announced the good news was particularly loud, and his words in the courtyard were clearly transmitted to the crowd watching outside the courtyard.

Then, like a spark lighting up a dynamite barrel, it buzzed instantly.

Won the top prize? !

Uncle Zhu Shouren swallowed hard in the corner. He stared at the good news and wanted to grab it and write his name on it. If it were you, that would be fine

Mrs. Chen, who was listening carefully on the side, rolled her eyes when she heard the words "Zhu Ping'an" and "No. 1 Scholar". My son won the No. 1 Prize, and then she almost fainted with joy.

It was Father Zhu who had quick eyes and quick hands. As soon as Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes, before anyone else noticed, Mr. Zhu immediately supported Mrs. Chen and pinched her tightly in the tiger's mouth.

With a squeak, Mrs. Chen was pinched and woke up. It seemed like a moment was broken. She found that Father Zhu was actually pinching her hand. She couldn't help but glared at Father Zhu hard. Okay, Zhu Shouyi, you have grown up, you dare to fight. Did I take action? !

"Congratulations to Zhu Ping'an, Mr. Zhu, for being the top pick in high school, and being listed in the top honors in the Beijing News."

Just as Chen was about to have a seizure, she heard the person who announced the good news repeat the good news again. Then she remembered that her son had won the top prize, and then she felt as happy as a volcano erupting, and her eyelids couldn't help but roll up again.

Why did you faint again?

Father Zhu couldn't help but pinch him again, and he woke up Chen before there was any movement on his eyelids. After these two pinches, Chen finally had enough in his heart and no longer had to worry about being overjoyed by this huge joy. I felt dizzy.

However, the next second I heard people screaming: "Hey, come here quickly, I've fainted, call the doctor quickly?"

It was not Mrs. Chen who fainted, but the fourth aunt.

The fourth aunt, who had boiled the water and put the tea on the table before taking a breath, almost fainted with her eyes closed as soon as the messenger mentioned the news that Zhu Ping'an had won the top prize.

Uh, why are you happier than me? Mrs. Chen was a little speechless, but she still hurried over to see her fourth aunt.

Fortunately, there was a doctor from the neighboring village who was watching the excitement outside Zhu Ping'an's house, and he was pushed in from the outside.

After coming in, the doctor pinched the little fourth aunt and woke her up. Then he closed his eyes and felt her pulse. When he opened his eyes again, there was a smile on his lips.

"Congratulations, congratulations." The doctor said, "This is a blessing. It won't be a problem. Just take good care of it and you'll be fine."

Are you happy?

When the fourth aunt heard the news, she almost couldn't believe it. She asked the doctor again and again. After hearing the doctor's confirmation again and again, the fourth aunt couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

I'm very happy that Pig won the top prize. Doesn't that mean that Pig brought this child to me? Otherwise, why has there been no movement in my stomach for so many years? If this pig wins the first prize, I will have it now. It must be the credit of She'er!

The ancients believed this!

The fourth aunt firmly believed that the child in her belly was the result of She'er.

"Thanks to Xie'er for keeping up the good work." The fourth aunt touched her belly with tears streaming down her face.

The fourth uncle also touched the little fourth aunt's body and nodded vigorously. The fourth uncle and the little fourth uncle wanted to go together. In the little fourth uncle's heart, if they hadn't come to Zhu Ping'an's house, if they hadn't been hit by pigeons, If they hadn't benefited from Zhu Ping'an's success, they wouldn't be the number one scholar.

Are you happy, thanks to Xie'er? ! This may sound a little strange to outsiders! But everyone just smiled, everyone knew what was going on.

"From now on, this child will be called Zhu Dazhuang!" The fourth aunt touched her belly and nodded firmly.
