257. Prosperity
The He family’s vigorous preparation for the exam is the Zhongyuan Festival in a blink of an eye.
During this year's Zhongyuan Festival, Mrs. He bought six kilograms of yellow paper in advance, which were twice as many as in previous years. Her family also built a money tree herself. During the Zhongyuan Festival, He Gong and He Lie went to burn for their ancestors. Then, the He family prepared a family to go to the autumn examination for the prefecture.
Yes, the family goes.
Originally, Mrs. He didn't plan to go, so Aunt Chen wanted to see her daughter, Xiao Chen, so she invited Mrs. He to stay together for a few days. Since Mrs. Chen took the initiative when He Zijin was in danger, the relationship between the two families has been restored. Since the relationship was restored, Mrs. He was not polite and had to take her own girl movies first. No matter how many people, her own girl movies can be calculated, which will definitely be helpful to her son's Qiuwei. Secondly, Mrs. He thought that the eldest grandson Alie is so old and has not been to the prefecture, so she wanted to take her grandson to open her eyes. The eldest grandson and the second grandson were going to go, and Brother Jun was looking forward to going out. Mrs. Shen also wanted her younger son to follow her, so Mrs. He simply slapped her thigh, "Go, you go too, this time Agong A Nian will win!" The wife went to help take care of her son and grandson.
So, the whole family went.
Mrs. Shen was willing to go, but she was a little worried, and said, "Can you live in my aunt's place?"
"I told your aunt to go. I have been with our girl before. Her place is very spacious and can live in a spacious place." As soon as Mrs. He spoke, Aunt Chen naturally responded, and Mrs. He said, "Forget the girl's movies, this time it will be smooth. Sister, let's stay for a few more days. I heard that in the prefecture, the good news will be delivered directly to my parents! I have never seen the good news in my life! It turns out that my in-laws is more knowledgeable than me. Asu passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination, so glorious!"
Aunt Chen actually felt that He Zijin seemed to be with fairy spirit. Not to mention it, he calculated the hexagrams for more than a year, and ten taels of silver were a divination. It was so expensive, but those people seemed to not use silver as money to arrange advance payments to make divination. Later, the matter of a number dealer was developed. If this was not effective, people would not always come to her. When Aunt Chen heard what Mrs. He said, "Can you ask Zijin to tell a fortune for Brother Yuan?" Aunt Chen also had a grandson.
Mrs. He sighed, "If the elder sister had a word, it would not be possible now. In May, the girl sealed the hexagram and returned all the divination things. A Gong Ah recited this hexagram, which was given to her when her magic weapon was still there. These days, many people who didn't know that she sealed the hexagram came over to think about the divination, but they all refused." Mrs. He felt very sorry. She had no money in front of her and could not make any money, which made Mrs. He feel very distressed for a while.
Aunt Chen was quite regretful, "If I had known this, I would have asked Zijin to give Bu a secret earlier."
Mrs. He doesn’t like Chen Yuan very much, mainly because Chen Yuan’s mother hates it. Mrs. He said, “Don’t worry, sister, I think A Yuan is also a blessing.”
Aunt Chen said, "I just hope it will be smooth."
"yes."
As the old sister-in-law spoke, Aunt Chen mentioned Mrs. He's clothes and smiled, "This is what Zi Jin made for you, it's strange."
When Mrs. He heard this, she was immediately secretly happy. She said to me that she had praised her in the past two months. Mrs. He said, "Hey, there are so many movies in my girls. Don't you wear more waist skirts outside now? I said, "It's a good idea to do a job. She has to say it's not good-looking, and she cuts it for me."
"This style looks good, and I think the waist skirt is not good, it's a bit rough." Aunt Chen has been rich for too long and has a good aesthetic, and she said, "Sister, you look good."
"I asked the girl to make a dress for my elder sister. I have this material. Ah Gong's wife is filial to me. We are one dressed together. It is easy to wear when we go to the prefecture." Old Niang He is still very confident about the new style of her skirt~ Aunt Chen said, "Ah Gong's wife is filial to you. How can I use it? I'm calling a maid and just look at the cut." Thinking that there are many people in his wife and granddaughter, why aren't they smart? He always sees his brother and sister showing off in front of him.
"Who and I are with whom! This matter is decided!" He Zijin found work.
He Zijin went to the mountain and told Taoist Principal Chaoyun that he was going to the prefecture. Taoist Principal Chaoyun laughed, "Why, you still have to end?" Of course, this was a joke. He Zijin said, "I'm not afraid of ending. I want to have a chance, and I have to take the exam if someone else!"
Wen Dao brought a plate of grapes and said, "All the cows have been to you to brag about the sky."
He Zijin laughed and looked up at the sky, "Where is it?"
Wen Dao:... Speaking of the shameless junior sister Zijin, if she is really a man, being an official is enough.
He Zijin talked about his family and said that at the request of his grandmother He's grandmother, he had made all the red clothes. He Zijin said, "I didn't want to go at that time. My grandmother was very excited this time. She also said that the whole family would wear red clothes. You said that when the people from the state prefecture were asked to see him, Oh, what's wrong with this family!"
Taoist Master Yun smiled, "Does the old man mean well?"
He Zijin also told Taoist Priest Chaoyun about going home to buy cheap land in the Zhao family. He Zijin said, "I don't know this, I want to know, the master will buy some too."
Five hundred acres of land...
Of course, Taoist Priest Chaoyun looked down on these 500 acres of land... Taoist Priest Chaoyun knew that He Zijin said this, thinking that if there was such a good thing, he should have told him. Taoist Priest Chaoyun said, "Are they mentioned this matter to me, I don't lack land."
He Zijin felt relieved and said, "I said it." She said, "I thought no one had told the master. Whether the master should buy it or not, you should have a share."
Smiling at Taoist Master Yun.
When He Zijin returned home in the evening, she learned that her grandmother had found another job for her and made Aunt Chen a cage dress that was exactly the same as Mrs. He. He Zijin muttered, "I can't think of me for a good thing."
"What a good thing, don't you think about you first." said Mrs. He.
"I didn't think about telling me the last time I bought the land."
Old Madam He also felt that he was a little depressed when he didn't ask Master Chaoyun's meaning. He said that when the Zhao family fell, Dao Yun made great efforts. Why did he only care about making money at his own home? He forgot to ask Master Chaoyun. Old Madam He smiled, "I will definitely not forget it next time! Okay, have you ever talked about this to Master Chaoyun on the mountain? Alas..."
"Say it."
"Master Chaoyun isn't angry, aren't he?" Old Madam He was still a little uneasy.
"Master Chaoyun didn't care about it at all."
"If you want to talk about Master Chaoyun, you are really a great person." After sighing, Mrs. He said, "Don't forget to make clothes for your grandma. Alas, although your grandma is richer than our family, her clothes are rich enough, and her style is not good, and it is a bit old-fashioned." Mrs. He shook his legs and shook his skirt and said.
Shen brought Jun Ge'er over and smiled when he heard this, "I've been out these days, and people often ask my mother about the style of the skirt, saying that they have to learn how to make it really look good."
Even Madam Zhou, who was picking vegetables in the yard, said, "Yes, I have never seen this style of our old lady's clothes before. Old lady, you don't wear them anymore, give me rewards."
Mrs. He said, "I have to wear it for twenty years."
Madam Zhou is very good at flattering Mrs. He smiled, "When our master and son-in-law are awarded, you are not the mother of scholars, you are the mother of juren. By then, the old lady will not be able to wear these clothes, you have to do better."
Old Madam He smiled happily, "If A Gong and Ah have all been admired this year, I will give you this dress."
Cui'er smiled, "Madam Zhou also brought the material in front of me and asked me to do the same clothes as the old lady. So I don't think I need to do it anymore."
Madam Zhou hurriedly said, "Don't do it for now, don't do it for now. I see, after Double Ninth Festival, I will have to wear a skirt."
Old lady He laughed and said, "It's true! If you want to answer your words, I'll give you this outfit!"
He Zijin looked at Madam Zhou. Madam Zhou is really good at coaxing the old lady.
Madam Zhou laughed and took the meatballs to prepare supper.
When the Zhongyuan Festival set off, He Zijin prepared Aunt Chen's clothes. Aunt Chen was also happy to receive He Zijin's needlework. She looked carefully and said with a smile, "Well, the needlework is good."
Mrs. He said, "The girl's film is just like the needle and thread. I specifically asked her to do it carefully. If you want to say that the needle and thread are good, it is still the third girl who has a skillful hand."
"That's great." Aunt Chen said, "better than us."
He Zijin smiled, "My needlework is like a grandmother."
Old Madam He laughed and scolded, saying to Aunt Chen, "I saw it, I said she was no, and I will make up for it immediately. I have a lot of benefits, and I haven't seen you look like me." As she said this, Old Madam He showed a smug look.
The two sister-in-law and sister-in-law were in a car, and Mrs. He had to take He Zijin with him, mainly because it was lively. He Zijin and Mrs. He were not bored all the way. The whole He family went to the prefecture, and then brought Cui'er and Xiao Fuzi and his wife to serve. Madam Zhang and Madam Zhou were guarding the house.
Such a large and small car, he arrived at the prefecture in one and a half days. He Zijin said, "The road is much easier to walk now than before. It took two days to arrive."
Aunt Chen often goes to the prefecture and smiled, "Yes, the government pays money to build the road. If the road is repaired, the car will go quickly."
He Gong helped the two old men get out of the car. After taking the car for so long, Aunt Chen was tired and said, "I don't have to be polite when I enter my house, I go and rest. Let's have a drink together at night. A Gong goes to school, don't worry about anything else."
The Chen family has a big family business over the years, and it is enough to make a yard for the He family. He Gong has been participating in the autumn examination for more than ten years, but he is not nervous at all, even though he is approaching the autumn examination.
He Gong said, "It's rare to come to the prefecture once. Let's go out for a walk tomorrow."
A Nian was happy. He wanted to accompany Zijin to visit the prefecture with his sister. Unexpectedly, Mrs. He immediately said, "After the exam, you should go there, it's important to study first!"
He Gong laughed, "What's the use of reciting for such a few days now? You don't have to relax. Otherwise, it will take nine days to go to the tribute court, which will be difficult to endure."
Mrs. He said, "That's good to rest." His attitude was very firm, and he said, "Luckily, I'm here. Alas, before the exam, I can't play around with it. I'm crazy about playing. Can I do my articles well?" I regretted not coming to supervise my son's exam first.
He Gong had to laugh, "It's good. Listen to my mother."
Mrs. He nodded with satisfaction.
In fact, the He family was late. The autumn examination was just in early August. The Chen family courtyard was very comfortable. These days, the family lived a comfortable life. He Zijin used oil, salt, sesame, peanut, kernel, and pine nuts to make fresh fried noodles. He also prepared the sauce, bacon, dried noodles and so on. Cut it into small pieces and bring it to the exam room for the father-in-law and son-in-law to eat. Of course, the exam boxes, emergency medicines, etc. are all prepared in advance.
He Gong was familiar with the road and had already explained the precautions to A Nian several times. On the day of the exam, the father-in-law and son-in-law got up in the early morning and went to the tribute court to queue up. He also got up early and wore a crimson-red dress. At the request of Mr. He, except for the two people who were taking the exam, the whole family was all red. Of course, the outer robes of the father-in-law and son-in-law were not red, and the big trousers inside were made of special red trousers. He Zijin said, "Didn't you say you should wear them when my father and A Nian get it."
"You are still divination. I don't understand this. We will be strong first!" Old Madam He spoke with a stern face. She didn't eat and was going to take the exam. He Gong was worried about my mother and said, "Mom, it's cold outside. We'll take Xiao Fuzi with us. And A Yuan and the others."
He Zijin smiled, "Dad, just let your grandmother go. Grandma has never seen her before, so she wants to go and see her."
Mrs. He took his wife, grandchildren, and the whole family sent the father-in-law and son-in-law to the housekeeper and son-in-law. Then, He Zijin heard someone whispering, "My God, I saw a piece of red floating with a lantern from afar, which scared me so much that I thought I had met a ghost."
