Some of the neighbors on both sides took eggs, some took white wine, some brought two pieces of meat, and some caught two chickens. After a while, the kitchen in the house was almost full. Originally, Xu Jiaorong asked Li Gongfu to buy some wine and some meat, but after waiting for a while, he didn't need it!

Some tables, chairs and benches were brought from the neighbors. The women were busy in the kitchen. Several batches of officials and many men who reported the good news were drinking and eating vegetables in the yard.

Xu Xian was the master of the juren. He was not at home. Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were equivalent to the owners of the Xu family. Anyone who knew each other would take the initiative and enthusiastic delivery.

Li Gongfu and Xu Jiaorong must be indifferent. Gifts must be collected. This is not corruption and bribery. At most, it is just a gift given to each other by human nature.

Of course, if you are giving away silver or giving a house, you will definitely not accept it without Xu Xian's instructions.

"Jiaorong, you will have to enjoy a happy life in the future. You have raised your hand with Chinese. If he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, you may be regarded as the imperial lady by the court!"

The women in the kitchen looked at Xu Jiaorong enviously while working.

Xu Jiaorong smiled, and the joy in her eyes was so happy that she couldn't hide it, but she said modestly: "It actually has nothing to do with me. It's all about my Chinese language. Moreover, I dare not think about the wife of the Imperial Palace. My brother is married now and has a wife. Even if the court wants to be a wife of the Imperial Palace in the future, it will be my sister-in-law."

"There are wives and mothers and sisters. Alas, I'm envious. If I could be named the wife of the Imperial Palace one day, no matter how many ranks it is, I would be willing to live ten years less!"

In the Dali Dynasty, a very small number of women who can read and read, but they cannot become officials. Therefore, for women, the greatest honor in their life is that they will one day be regarded as the wife of Haoming by the court.

Xu Jiaorong shook her head and said that she didn't dare to think about these things, but her eyes showed some look of expectation.

Inside the yard.

"Drink! Drink more!"

Li Gongfu raised his glass and drank it.

Xu Jiaorong smiled happily when she heard her brother being beaten. Li Gongfu was almost the same. He greeted the official officer who reported the good news with a smile and drank wine in big mouthfuls.

Xu Xian is his brother-in-law, and he is the closest person he is now besides Xu Jiaorong. Xu Xian was awarded the title, and he was still very proud of him when he went out and was raised!

If he passes the imperial examination and becomes a Jinshi in the future, he will probably become a high-ranking official. This is not something he can compare with, a small captain in Qiantang County!

Although officials, officials, officials and officials are often mentioned at the same time, the two are completely different, with a difference of 100,000 miles. Although officials have higher power and status than ordinary people, they are also controlled by officials. In the eyes of officials, there is actually not much difference between officials and civilians. When officials see officials, they must kneel down!

Constables and yamen runners actually belong to the category of officials.

Li Gongfu became the position of the yamen captain and could barely have some connection with the officials, but he himself said many times that he was an official who was smaller than a ninth-rank sesame official. If he was not good at doing things, the magistrate of Qiantang County could take his life!

But ordinary juren are completely different, and they are fully qualified to communicate with the magistrate of Qiantang County.

What's more, Xu Xian is still such a young and famous scholar in the world!

...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes.

The banquet was over, and the official who reported the good news had already said goodbye and went back to submit the job. The neighbors all went back. At this time, the door of the yard was knocked again. The knocking sound was very urgent. Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu were still wondering, thinking that everyone who reported the good news had left, who would come at this time?

I could only hear a happy voice coming from outside and shouting: "Sister, I'm back! Open the door!"

"Hanwen is back!"

Xu Jiaorong was stunned when she heard this. Afterwards, she didn't care about her big belly and walked quickly to Li Gongfu and went to the door to open the door. She was so happy and excited that she had a lot to say, and wanted to praise Xu Xian. The first sentence she said was due to the character of long-term long-term sister Ruma, and she blamed her: "Why did you come back so late! After the provincial examination, you still stayed in Suzhou Prefecture to travel around, right? The people who reported the good news came to the door, but you, the juren, were not here, so you had to let your brother-in-law and you entertain others!"

"Has the person who reported the good news arrived?" Xu Xian said in surprise. Although he stayed in Suzhou Prefecture for some time after the exam, he returned home in a row and took half a day from Suzhou Prefecture to Qiantang County, saving most of the time.

It seems that the person who reported the good news was not slow either. He almost rushed to the homes of candidates who won the exam from all directions after the results were released.

"I just arrived this morning, I have left after dinner and drink." Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian with a angrily, and then smiled and greeted Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing, "Is my brother and sister-in-law tired from the journey back? Come in quickly and sit inside and say."

While walking inside, Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian with a smile and said, "The results of the exam in Suzhou Prefecture this time are pretty good. Not only did he pass the exam, but he was also the first place in Jie Yuan! Well, we will go to burn paper for our parents tomorrow and tell them the good news!"

Xu Xian shook his head, looked at Bai Suzhen, who was a little shy, and then said, "Sister, actually, there is more than one good news for me to come back this time."

"There is any other good news?" Xu Jiaorong was intrigued and looked at Xu Xian curiously and asked.

Xu Xian nodded and smiled and said, "This news is better than me!" After a pause, Xu Xian was not insincere. He held Bai Suzhen's hand and gently pressed Bai Suzhen's belly with one hand, and smiled and said, "Suzhen is pregnant!"

For Xu Xian, he won the imperial examination and was sure to win the exam, and there was no suspense. However, Bai Suzhen was pregnant, and it was a matter of God's will, and no one could tell.

"Ah?" Xu Jiaorong looked at Xu Xian, then looked at Bai Suzhen and Bai Suzhen's belly. After saying a word, she couldn't speak. She was really confused.

After waiting for a long time, I cried with joy, my eyes were a little wet, and I said happily: "Is my brother and sister pregnant? Really?"

Xu Xian smiled and nodded, "It's true!"

"This... this is really great news!" Xu Jiaorong wiped his wet eyes. Hearing that Bai Suzhen was pregnant was almost happier than her own pregnancy. He kept muttering: "The Xu family has a queen!" Then he took Bai Suzhen's hand and said: "My brother and sister, thank you for your hard work!"

So, Bai Suzhen, who had been "hard" after being pulled away by Xu Jiaorong, told her all kinds of advice to make plans for Bai Suzhen in the next few months as a person who has experienced it, and told her what she needs to pay attention to.
