When saying goodbye, Song Youming and others were also a little drunk.
Zhang Wenyuan spoke loudly and said to Su Yu, "How about you stay in the city for a few days, and I, I'll take you to have some fun."
Su Yu smiled and said, "Thank you, but I have something to do at home and I have to go back in a hurry."
"When the date of worship is confirmed, I will send you wedding invitations at that time."
Yes, when Su Yu went back this time, he said he wanted to make up for the worship ceremony.
It would be difficult for them to stay in this way.
Su Yu added, "I brought you some gifts and left them at the inn."
"You can send someone to the inn to pick it up tomorrow."
Did you bring them gifts?
Song Youming said: "You are the head of the case. It's our turn to give you a gift to congratulate you. How come it's the other way around?"
Su Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, others gave it to me."
"But they're all brand new, and I think you'll all like them."
Su Yu's own family background was not good, so they didn't expect what Su Yu would give them.
So they are all very curious.
After Su Yu explained the matter, Zhang Wenyuan and others sent him out drunkenly.
He turned back and continued drinking.
I stayed in the county town for one night and attended the county banquet.
Su Yu declined the invitations from other gentry and set out back to the village with Gu Changle early the next morning.
It wasn't too far back from the county seat to the village, and the carriage took more than an hour to get there.
As soon as this familiar carriage entered the village, the villagers knew that Su Yu was back.
"Master Wenquxing of our village is back!"
After a shout, everyone who was chatting quickly dispersed to inform other people in the village.
When the carriage stopped in front of Su Yu's house, a large number of people had gathered near Su Yu's house.
After Su Yu got out of the car, he helped Gu Changle out of the car.
The village chiefs, Su Dafu and Su Yongqiang, hurried over with joy on their faces.
Su Yu is the head of the case, and the government will specially send people to the area to report the good news.
Go to the county seat first, and then send it all the way here.
It was only yesterday that this good news was delivered to their village.
After learning that Su Yu actually got the top spot in this court examination, the entire Qiushui Village suddenly became excited.
The two brothers Su Yongqiang and Su Yongchang were so happy that they almost lost their way.
Fortunately, I had the experience of entertaining officials who delivered good news last time, and Su Dafu was there to help, so the reception was completed smoothly.
Last night, the two families, Su Yongchang and Su Yongqiang, were so excited that they stayed up all night.
Today I finally got Su Yu back.
When he arrived in front of Su Yu, Su Yongqiang was already smiling so hard that his eyes narrowed.
"The official who delivered the good news yesterday has already arrived. He said that you ranked first in the college examination this time, and you are the head of the case!"
The official who delivered the good news also congratulated their family in advance, saying that their family was about to have a successful candidate.
Does this make them unhappy?
Lift people!
There has never been one in their town.
If Su Yu really succeeds, it will really be like smoke rising from his ancestral graves.
Su Yongqiang was very proud for a long time last night in front of his wife, Mrs. Liu.
Su Yu smiled and said, "I did really well in the exam this time."
"I originally wanted to take Changle home as soon as possible and wait for the good news to be received before worshiping the ancestors."
"But I attended two banquets at the invitation of the Lord of the Prefecture and Lord of the County, so I came back late."
The Lord of the Prefecture and the Lord of the County.
In the eyes of these people, these officials are all unattainable figures.
Now Su Yu can attend these people's banquets.
Hearing these words, everyone present sighed and sighed that Su Yu was really making a difference.
Look at his original robes that have turned white after washing, and his entire humanity is weak.
Now he has changed into a robe of good material, with a handsome face and extraordinary temperament.
They are completely different from these villagers.
Mrs. Liu behind her also put on a smile and took credit: "Yesterday, your aunt and I cleaned up your house together."
"Changle doesn't know how to cook. Tonight, your aunt and I will take the food to your house and cook a sumptuous meal."
"Let's get together!"
The last time I came back, Mrs. Zhang got advice from Gu Changle's distant relatives and brought someone to help clean the house.
This time, Aunt Liu was more enthusiastic.
After receiving the good news yesterday, she and her sister-in-law worked together to clean up his house in advance.
Gu Changle smiled generously and said, "Thank you very much."
Zhang, the village chief's daughter-in-law, originally wanted to bring people to help clean up as usual, but Liu's two sisters-in-law directly refused.
Although I couldn't help, I came here with the village chief today.
Both Liu and Wu were standing next to Gu Changle, and she couldn't squeeze past them.
I could only stand aside with some regret.
But she was not to be outdone and started talking to Gu Changle.
"Changle, you are so lucky."
"I just got married now, and Su Yu passed the imperial examination."
"Now I actually got the first place in the college exam."
"Now you are a talented lady, next year you might be the wife of a scholar!"
Gu Changle had lived with everyone in the village for a while.
Even if she doesn't know how to do farm work, she is a girl from a Fucheng family after all.
But she doesn't even know how to clean up the household chores herself, and her only advantage is reading and literacy.
But if she were to be a wife for their family, no one would dare to ask for her.
But now everyone looked at her as if they were looking at a piece of cake.
They all wanted to get closer to Gu Changle so that they could benefit from her good fortune.
But Su Yu had just come back and had many things to discuss.
Su Yongchang then arranged for everyone to enter the room first.
Gu Changle was naturally called into the room by the Liu family.
Mrs. Liu was so happy that she stretched out her hand to pull Gu Changle: "Let's go inside first."
Gu Changle avoided it slightly and replied with a smile: "Okay."
This slight dodge caused Liu's attempt to reach out to pull her to come to nothing.
Mrs. Liu didn't notice Gu Changle's subtle movements. Seeing her slim and graceful walking in front, Mrs. Liu couldn't help but secretly whisper to Mrs. Wu.
"Oh, I don't know why this person is so long."
"I see this Changle, she looks much better than the last time she was in our village."
Before Su Yu set out to take the college examination, Wu told him that he had failed. After that, Gu Changle was unwilling to follow him back to the village to continue suffering.
He also asked Su Yu to collect some money on his own, so as not to lose the travel expenses back.
But the good thing is.
Su Yu not only passed the college exam this time, but also got first place.
So Wu no longer has this worry.
Hearing Liu's muttering, she replied: "Indeed."
"Although she comes from an ordinary background, she is good-looking and knowledgeable about etiquette."
"This way, even if our Yuzi succeeds in the imperial examination and becomes the master of the imperial examination, the two of us will be a good match in front of outsiders."
But Wu thought about it and felt a little regretful.
If she had known that Su Yu would be successful so soon, she would have stopped Su Yu from getting married first.
Wait until next year when he wins the imperial examination, and then he will discuss the marriage.
After all, she went to town and asked someone.
Those who hold the title of candidates are all marrying the daughters of wealthy families in the city.
Those purdah ladies are all as beautiful as flowers, and their families still have money.
Such a girl is worthy of being the nephew of their master.
But now that we are married, there is no point in regretting it.
"But that's okay."
"Otherwise, if Yu Zai has a future, the Song family will definitely not mention regretting the marriage and will happily marry their daughter over."
Mrs. Liu snorted after hearing her words.
"When Yuzi kept failing the exam, he refused to marry his daughter."
"I keep saying that I want to break off the engagement, but I don't want to take back the bride price. I go around talking bad about Yuzai every day, and I want us to take the initiative to break off the engagement."
"If Changle hadn't been strong-willed and put an end to this matter, maybe the family would have ended up confusing right and wrong."
"But I heard that Song Yuxiang is also getting engaged, and she is also marrying a boy."
"I don't know if Yuzai recognizes that person."
"I have to go find out!"
