"Bright sound!"
"Bright sound!"
When Xu He came to the alley entrance, the excited voices of Xu Peng and Wu Decao changed.
Especially Wu Decao, his face flushed red, and his excitement at this time was not much worse than that of Xu He.
Look, look, those people in Yangzhou Prefecture who look down on me, take a look.
I, Wu Decao, am not good at studying or doing business, so I am useless.
But I have vision, and I dare to tie my future to the person in front of me!
You see, I won the bet.
Liangsheng started his career from a small county, and within a short time, he had already become the number one scholar in the Wei Dynasty.
Let's open it and take a look...
Wu Decao's eyes were moist.
"Brother Peng!"
"Brother Yaochen!"
Xu He smiled at the two of them on the horse.
Xu Peng looked at his smiling eyes, and suddenly, his own eyes became moist without even realizing it.
"Bright voice! Uncle is waiting for you at home!"
"Yeah! Let's go home!"
…
At this moment, there was a sudden commotion behind Xu Peng and Wu Decao.
I saw a group of people dressed as servants approaching Xu He.
When Li Boxheng saw the person coming, he quickly bent down and said, "I've seen Mr. Xiao Ge!"
The middle-aged man at the head made a "hum" sound from his nose, which was regarded as a response.
Then he looked at Xu He and smiled slightly: "Are you Xu He?"
When Li Boxheng saw that Xu He was silent, he quickly stepped forward and whispered: "This is the son of Lord Chief Assistant, Lord Qin from Xiao Ge."
Xu He looked at the man in front of him. He was quite good-looking for a middle-aged man, and he walked with a certain demeanor.
However, those angled eyes ruined his appearance, making him look like a hawk looking at a wolf.
Because Xu He couldn't dismount, he saluted on his horse and said, "I've seen Mr. Xiao Ge!"
Qin Que said with a smile: "My family has been neighbors with your uncle's family for decades. If you are free in the future, you will often come to my house!"
After saying that, before Xu He could reply, he turned his head and looked at the person behind him.
Xu He saw that the man was wearing a curtain hat and was surrounded by servants and maids. It was obvious that his status was extraordinary.
Qin Que looked back as if unintentionally, and in just a moment he turned around and smiled: "Okay, today is your special day, go back quickly! If I hold you back for too long, Mr. Xu Ge will be impatient!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him burst into laughter.
Qin Que and his party arrived suddenly and left quickly.
It didn't take long before he turned into Qin's mansion at the end of the alley and was no longer visible.
Seeing this, Li Boxheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said: "Master Zhuangyuan, let's go, don't keep Mr. Xu Ge waiting impatiently!"
…
When Xu He walked into Xu Mansion, he saw Xu Song standing under the tree and looking at him with a smile.
Next to him, Xie Kun was standing with his hands behind his back, with relief, joy and many indescribable emotions in his eyes.
"Uncle!"
"Uncle!"
Xu He quickly dismounted, took two quick steps, walked up to the two of them and bowed deeply.
Xie Kun lifted him up. He supported Xu He and looked up and down and sighed: "The flowers will bloom again, and no one will be young anymore. Liangsheng, Master, Master is really envious of you!"
"Uncle!"
Xu He thought of the scene when he first met him in the Second Yamen Hall of Hailing County.
At that time, Xie Kun was still an angry middle-aged man. Although he was full of complaints, he still generously went to the border whenever the country needed it. He was a real "angry youth"-like figure.
But it took less than three years.
That angry middle-aged man's temples were gradually stained with white frost, and his eyebrows were much calmer than before.
Seeing this, Xu He's eyes suddenly became wet.
"Master——Uncle——"
This time, it was also the word "Master", but Xie Kun could hear the stirring emotions in Xu He's heart and the deep feeling of teacher-student that couldn't be resolved.
Xie Kun turned his back at this time, not wanting his nephew to see the tears rolling down his face. He waved his hands to Xu He and stopped talking.
Xu He turned to look at Xu Song: "Uncle!"
In front of everyone, Xu Song is obviously much more mature than Xie Kun.
But his trembling lips still revealed the agitation in his heart at this moment.
"Bright sound!!!"
Xu He bowed and said: "My nephew has lived up to his destiny and won the first place in Bingchen Section 1A. I came here to tell my uncle the good news!"
Xu Song nodded, looking over Xu He's shoulder and looking behind him.
Li Boxheng quickly bent down to smile, but Xu Song just smiled slightly and nodded before looking over his shoulder again. Finally, his eyes fell on the display of drums, music, umbrellas and flags that followed the champion.
What's written on those two big flags fluttering in the wind?
Xu Song squinted his eyes and saw clearly: "Lianyuan" and "the number one scholar."
When he saw the number one scholar, he trembled slightly and murmured: "The number one scholar, our Hailing Xu family also has a number one scholar!"
Having said this, he looked at Xu He with kind eyes, and finally his thousands of words turned into one sentence: "Liangsheng, thank you for your hard work!"
At this time, Xu Peng came closer and said, "Uncle, the ancestor worship ceremony has been arranged!"
Xu Song nodded and said: "Come on, Liangsheng, tell the good news to the three generations of deceased people in detail!"
"yes!"
…
When the three uncles and nephews of the Xu family came to the backyard, the main room in the backyard was already filled with memorial tablets for the ancestors of the Xu family.
What is different from the past is that the tablets including Xu Song's father and grandfather are also listed after the Xu family.
The meaning could not be clearer.
Although according to the patriarchal law, concubines cannot mess up.
But the uncle has given Xu He as much honor as possible to this small sect.
When worshiping ancestors, they are only under the great clan, but above the other branches.
At this moment, a servant suddenly came in a hurry and announced: "Elder Pavilion, Lord Zhuangyuan, someone is coming from the palace."
Xu Song and Xu He were stunned when they heard this. What was the person doing in the palace doing at this time...?
The uncle and nephew hurried to the front yard.
I saw that the person coming was none other than Chen Hong, who had asked for the manuscript of "Journey to the West" last time.
When Chen Hong saw Xu He, he quickly stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Congratulations to the number one scholar, congratulations to the number one scholar! The Sa family knew that the number one scholar must not be a thing in the pond when they first saw him. When they saw him today, it was true that this was not confirmed. Sajia’s premonition!”
Xu He smiled slightly, this person, haha, that is Emperor Zhizheng's horse boy. Wang Ji probably doesn't even know his true identity.
He bowed and said: "Thank you, father-in-law, but I don't know about father-in-law!"
Chen Hongdao: "His Majesty still loves you. No, he specially asked the internal supervisor to make two plaques called slaves and I sent them to the number one scholar!"
Hearing that the emperor had something to give, everyone present quickly knelt down.
Xu He felt that this scene looked familiar.
Oh, yes, it was the Xu family ancestral hall when I was in elementary school and middle school!
At this time, Chen Hong clapped his hands.
The little eunuch accompanying him who carried the plaque pulled down the red silk.
Everyone looked at the two plaques, and instantly everyone's breathing became rapid.
Envy and jealous eyes swept over Xu He.
Xu He looked up.
I saw a plaque that read: Three Yuan is bestowed upon you.
Another plaque read: Won six yuan in a row.
