When Mrs. Xie heard this, she stood up suddenly in surprise and almost stumbled.
Feng Xiaozhu quickly helped her up: "Auntie, are you okay?"
Mrs. Xie patted Feng Xiaozhu's slender hand with excitement: "It's okay, it's okay, it should be He'er, the news about He'er."
For some reason, even though she was not from the Xu family, Feng Xiaozhu actually felt a hint of joy at this moment. She smiled, her eyes like crescent moons: "That's great, Mr. Xu is so knowledgeable, there must be no problem!"
Mrs. Xie looked at Feng Xiaozhu with some surprise, and thought to herself, how did Miss Feng know that my He'er was good at learning?
However, her attention was soon alerted by the sound of gongs and drums outside the hospital.
Feng Xiaozhu also wanted to see this lively scene, but she was a girl who had not left the court and was living in the Xu family, so she could only avoid entering and hid behind the window to look outside.
Xie opened the door excitedly.
The messenger hired by the Yangzhou government office at the door lit the firecrackers that had been prepared.
Suddenly, firecrackers crackled at the gate of Xu's house, and neighbors from several streets all rushed towards Xu's house.
One of the messengers saw this and said loudly to Mrs. "
The messenger was an expert, and his sonorous and powerful voice penetrated the noisy discussion and spread far in the small street.
Even the sound of firecrackers can't cover it up.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar around him!
"Have you never seen this person named Xu? Did you just move here?"
"It is said to be a branch of Xujia Village outside the east gate!"
"Ouch! It turns out to be the Xu family. No wonder, no wonder, all the literary fortunes in Hailing County have gone to the Xu family. It is not easy to become the head of the government. Two generations of the Xu family have all been Jinshi in high school!"
"You don't know something. The name of the head of the government case is Xu He. He was just appointed as the head of the county case by County Magistrate Li not long ago. Now he is the head of both the government and the county!"
"Oh, that's great, we have another health worker in Tokachi Street!"
Listening to the crowd's discussion, Mr. Xie felt dizzy.
Until now, she still felt like she was walking on clouds, her legs were limp.
At this time, the old commander who received the news from outside hurried over and saw this scene and said quickly: "His aunt, hurry up, thank you for the money!"
Only then did Xie come to her senses. She quickly turned around and entered the courtyard. She took out a small money bag from the back room, then randomly grabbed a few handfuls from it and handed them to each person who reported the news.
When the messenger got the money, he immediately beamed with joy and said what he wanted without the money, which made Mrs. Xie beam with joy.
There were children chasing and fighting in the neighborhood, so Xie simply handed all the copper coins in the bag to Xu Peng and asked him to give them all to the children.
This move immediately caused the unfamiliar neighbors to have a favorable impression of the Xu family and praised them one after another.
"Mrs. Xu is kind and generous. She is such a good neighbor!"
"If I have the opportunity, I invite Young Master Xu to come and sit with me at my house. The children in our family should be able to get a little bit of Young Master Xu's literary fortune, and they will be able to read a few words even if they are not able to speak, unlike us who have been fighting for three lifetimes without knowing a single character."
"How old is Mr. Xu this year? Does anyone know if he is married?"
At this moment, Xu He's uncle Xie Bin received the news and rushed over.
When he arrived at the alley, he was shocked to see so many.
After finally squeezing in, I saw smiles and tears on my sister's face.
He came closer and asked: "Sister, I heard that Xiaohe is a child?"
Mrs. Xie was even more happy to see her mother-in-law: "Your nephew passed the exam to become the head of the government!"
Xie Bin was stunned when he heard this and asked subconsciously: "What did you pass in the exam?"
"The head of the government case!" Old Chief Jia said with a smile.
Xie Bin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaohe is the leader of the government case again? Great, great!"
As a person within the system, he had a deeper understanding of the imperial examination than ordinary people.
"Sister, your son will definitely be a student! My nephew is a scholar!" Xie Bin wiped his beard and laughed heartily!
Originally, at my sister's house, my brother-in-law had a hard time rushing to take the exam, and my sister was the only one to support him.
Even food and clothing are a problem all day long, but my sister always insists on letting her son study.
Xie Bin actually advised his sister: "Although there is potential in studying, it is too difficult. We don't dare to think about being a scholar, a scholar, or a Jinshi. Just talk about the imperial examinations. In the imperial examinations of the Great Wei Dynasty, there were thousands of people who participated in the imperial examinations." people, but only fifty were admitted.”
Helpless, my sister was determined to let her son study. Xie Bin tried to persuade her several times but to no avail, so she simply stopped trying.
Later, when my sister's family became increasingly difficult, she often sent letters to her brother to borrow money.
Although Xie Bin borrowed it every time, he couldn't help but complain in his heart. Not all families can support their children's imperial examinations.
He is a small patrol inspector, and he is not corrupt and bends the law. His salary is so small. Although he is somewhat filial to the merchants on weekdays, his life is also tight.
In Xie Bin's eyes, Xie Bin's sister's family borrowed tricks like this, and it was like a bottomless pit.
But what I didn't expect was that my nephew was really a good reader.
First, he was surprised when he passed the county criminal examination a while ago.
What he didn't expect even more was that he had passed even the most difficult prefecture examination in Xiao Sanyuan, and he was the first in the prefectural case chief.
"Sister, no wonder you insist on He'er studying! It's a pity not to study with such a talent. I feel ashamed when I think about it. My brother even advised you not to read to him before! Alas... I am really blind!"
When Ms. Xie heard her brother's words, the pressure she had felt over the years was gone. Others could not understand her persistence; others laughed at her behind her back.
But he has a good and upbeat son.
The son actually got two heads of crime in a row. Even Mr. Fan and Mr. Song, the eldest family members of the Xu family, never got the head of the case when they were young, right?
And he was also the first in both county and government examinations!
With Xie Bin as a figure in the scene, he immediately invited several well-respected old gentlemen in the neighborhood to serve tea at his home and help his sister's family gain a foothold in this area.
When everyone was invited into the courtyard to drink tea, Feng Xiaozhu carefully came to the gates of the inner and outer courtyards and secretly listened to the conversation.
When he heard that Xu He had become the head of a government case again, he thought to himself: "This Mr. Xu is really talented, and he deserves to be the head of a government case. Apart from anything else, even his father is no match for him when it comes to poetry!"
Thinking of this, her expression suddenly darkened. It had been so many days, and the Xu family didn't give her a place to go, and it was hard for her to find her uncle.
Now, I have a lonely daughter, what should I do?
Thinking of this, Feng Xiaozhu's handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, and she complained in her heart about her official-obsessed father.
Just when the family in Hailing County was bustling, Fenghuang Dunxu Mansion.
Xu Dai was so anxious that he circled around his elder brother before he went to bed like an ant on a hot pot.
"Doctor, how is my elder brother?"
An old man with white hair and beard felt his pulse with one hand and made a silent gesture with the other. After a while, he stood up and said to Xu Dai: "My uncle is suffering from numbness in his heart and cannot speak. It would be good if he can get through, but he can't get through this... "
Xu Dai was anxious: "Use the medicine, no matter how expensive it is, my Xu family will buy it. We can go to Yangzhou or Jinling. Doctor, you must cure my eldest brother!"
The doctor sighed, nodded and went out to prescribe medicine.
Xu Dai stood by the bed, looking at Xu Song who was getting thinner and speechless, and couldn't help but feel sad: "Brother, you can't leave. If you leave, our Xu family..."
