Chapter 307 The Old Men Who Don’t Let Down the Chain
Erwa was very enthusiastic: "Don't be polite, adults. Just keep it for dinner. We'll kill a chicken at home and let everyone have a taste. Aren't you guys here to announce the good news in no hurry to go back?"
The yamen runners all said that they didn't want to eat and just wanted to drink something to quench their thirst.
After a while, Tiezhu's grandfather was carried here.
He came here on purpose and put a red envelope in it at home, fearing that the children would accidentally neglect him.
The yamen runners were very happy to receive the red envelope and kept congratulating Tiezhu's grandfather.
"Grandpa, you really have a good grandson. He's very promising. He got the top score in the exam at such a young age. Good days are yet to come!"
The yamen runners misunderstood and thought that Tiezhu's grandfather was Qin Yan's grandfather.
But the old man was happy to hear these words. His face suddenly became red and he felt like his body was no longer heavy.
After a while, Goudan'er's grandfather came and also delivered a red envelope. The yamen runner initially said that he had already received it, but he didn't expect that the other party would insist on delivering two copies.
It's not common to come across such a thing when going to the countryside to announce good news. They were so happy that they were in no hurry to leave. It wouldn't hurt to wait for the host, as this family was really nice.
But there was no need to eat. The leading yamen runner sincerely refused: "We have to go back and report."
How could Erwa and the others let them go? They were all here to persuade them. In fact, they were a little anxious, wondering why Fang Tong's family hadn't returned yet. Could it be that they had forgotten about announcing the good news? They had to meet them at least once.
Of course Fang Tong came back, he was anxious.
The ox cart was running at a speed almost faster than a horse carriage as it rushed along the road. Fortunately, he often traveled between the village and the county town and was very familiar with this road.
But I was still covered in dust along the way, so my new clothes were all in vain.
When he got home and saw that the yamen runner was still at home, he was so happy that he almost jumped for joy.
Qian Fengping even wrapped the red envelopes in the car, and handed them to everyone she saw. When the yamen runners saw that it was the real boss who had returned, they were so happy that they couldn't help but smile.
After seeing Qin Yan, the first in the case, everyone spoke well of him.
What a young talent, he has achieved success at a young age and is born with great talent.
In the end, they don't want any money, so they tell everything.
After exchanging pleasantries, the yamen runners left.
The villagers who were watching the excitement outside the door started to stare with wide eyes when Fang Tong's ox cart stopped.
The main thing is that Qin Yan got off the ox cart by himself. They watched with their own eyes that the child's legs and feet were really healed and he could walk. No wonder, so people were not wrong. Qin Yan really took the imperial examination and came back with the first place!
Everyone called Qin Yan, wanting to talk to him and ask what was going on, but there were too many people asking, so Qin Yan could only nod his head, simply to confirm that these things were indeed true. The villagers were a little confused, and they couldn't imagine that their village had produced a county-level criminal.
But to be honest, they did feel it a little bit and knew that the child was really well.
Fang Nanzhi held her candy bag, which was filled with candies for herself and her brother, as well as those she and her parents would buy her every time they went shopping in the county town. Knowing that she loved candies, they would buy her some older ones.
Fang Nanzhi never eats anything indiscriminately because she knows that eating too much sugar will cause her teeth to change, and her husband has also reminded her about this.
So the candy in her candy bag only increased and never decreased. Today was such a happy event, so she took the candy bag and gave candies to the uncles and aunts who were watching the fun one by one, so that everyone could share in the joy.
After going back and forth a lot, I finally managed to get everyone away.
By the time everyone was quiet, nearly half an hour had passed. Only Tiezhu, his brothers, and the old man were left at home; they were all family.
Erwa and the others only came to their senses at this moment.
"Oh, am I dreaming? Did the bailiff really come just now? Brother Yan, did you really get first place in the county exam?"
Erwa looked at Goudan like that and slapped him on the face: "Now, is it true or not?"
Goudan was speechless. The brothers looked at each other, then started laughing!
Qian Fengping's family had been happy all the way, and now they were calm and smiling.
"Don't leave today, stay home for dinner. Let's have a good meal tonight. Who wouldn't want to share in the joy of such a happy event?"
Erwa and the others nodded quickly, and Fang Tong asked Goudan to call his younger brother home.
They had already discussed it in the car as a family. The provincial examination would be held in two months. Since they had passed the exam this time, they would not hold a banquet. It would be a waste of energy. They would decide on it after the examination.
But it's okay to have a meal with someone you know well.
Fang Nanzhi was holding a piece of candy in her mouth and sitting in a chair, watching everyone having fun and swinging her feet.
At this time, the system rang.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for helping my brother complete 30% of the imperial examination. Reward transaction channel, channel number two, opening. Please wait..."
The little girl was stunned. Trading channel? Why is there a number two?
She couldn't even keep up with the current trading channels. There were many things she could buy, but she either didn't know what they were or she couldn't afford them. At this time, she actually opened a second number.
She planned to discuss it with her brother when she had time in the evening.
At this time, the villagers who had already left Fang Tong's house, although they had left, just moved to another place to chat together. They were still shocked and talking.
"I didn't expect that after his father died, the child went up the mountain and broke his leg. I thought it was a pity that he couldn't continue his studies."
"You know what? Fang Tong, this stepfather, is quite impressive. He sent both of his children to study. Qin Yan is also very hardworking and passed the exam right away."
"From my perspective, this person is born to study. Look, he passed the exam without making any noise!"
"Oh, that's not right. Why hasn't Fang Jin come back yet? Didn't he also go to take the exam? Qin Gaofei and Qin Shucai are back."
Everyone realized it belatedly, yes, where are the Fang family members?
Speaking of which, the eldest daughter of the Fang family used to dislike Qin Yan's disability and wanted to cancel the engagement. Now she regrets it, right?
Just as the topic turned to the Qin family, the Fang family came back, riding in a carriage.
This is great news, everyone. Let’s go up and ask what’s going on.
The result was disastrous. Mr. Fang looked ugly and Fang Jin's face was swollen!
"Oh my god, what happened? Aren't you going to take an exam? Why did you get beaten?"
Fang Jin wanted to cover his face with his hands, but felt that it would only make things more obvious.
But why he really didn't want to say it.
He took a long time to calm down after he knew he didn't pass. No matter how he thought about it, he felt that Miss Wang was responsible for his poor performance.
Ever since he married her, she always asked him to do this and that, so when he got home, he got angry and exploded!
But after just a few words, he didn't expect Miss Wang to have such a bad temper. Instead of pampering him, she called him a useless fool!
Fang Jin was stunned. He had been studying for so many years, and his father had always said that he would bring honor to the family. He was already able to study, so when had he ever been scolded like this?
But Miss Wang said that he had studied for so many years but still couldn't make any progress, and he even blamed her for failing the exam. They had only known each other for a short time!
Miss Wang got angry and beat him up. That wasn't enough, she kicked him out and told him to go back home and reflect on himself!
