I traveled through time and space to hunt and support my family in ancient times
Chapter 48 The villain succeeds
The official still had to report the good news to other families, so he didn't stay long. He just asked curiously, "Where are all the people in your village? Why don't you see anyone coming out?"
The whole family was embarrassed, and Old Man Jiang laughed dryly and said, "The village is hosting a banquet, and everyone is going to the feast."
The officials immediately understood that it was rare for villagers to have a banquet, so they all went. This family must have been waiting for good news, so they didn't go out.
Before leaving, he kindly said, "You guys should go as well."
Old man Jiang straightened his back and kept grinning foolishly.
Jiang Youguang turned around and knelt down to kowtow to his parents: "Dad and Mom, your son has passed the exam. Fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission."
Cai wiped away tears with excitement.
Old man Jiang quickly helped him up: "Good boy, you are a great contributor to our family..."
Jiang Youcai whispered a few words into his youngest son's ear.
Jiang Changan ran to Liu and hugged her waist: "Grandma, my third uncle has become an official, which is a great joy. Grandma, please give me a red envelope so that I can also share in my third uncle's joy. In the future, I will also study hard and pass the imperial examination for you."
Liu was so happy that she showed a rare good temper: "Give it all, give it all. In the future, you should emulate your third uncle, and we will have a few more scholars in our family."
Li couldn't help it: "Mom, please send it later, not all the people are here."
Jiang Youcai and Qian cursed in their hearts.
Liu looked around and frowned, "Boss, where are your children? None of them are here. Where did they go?"
Jiang Youtian said calmly, "I don't know where he went to play."
Jiang Changping immediately said, "I know. They all went to Jiang Ming's house for a feast."
Liu's face darkened.
Li was furious. Why did the second branch fire at her family? What a brainless person.
Jiang Youtian remained calm, holding Li, and said to Jiang Changping: "I don't even know where they went, how did you know?"
"Of course I know. I watched at his doorstep for a long time. There were so many people and so much meat in Jiang Ming's house."
Jiang Youcai was so angry that he slapped Jiang Changping on the forehead.
Jiang Changping covered his head and asked, "Dad, why did you hit me?"
Jiang Youcai was so angry that he closed his eyes. This son was as stupid as Qian. Fortunately, the youngest son was like him.
Liu sneered, "Come to think of it, we were a family before, let's go and have a seat. Our third son is a scholar."
Old man Jiang was angry: "Why are you going? What's the point of going? Just stay at home."
Liu put her hands on her hips and puffed out her belly: "You are still thinking about him, what's wrong with me? Don't you see whose belly the scholar came from? Going there will only help his family gain some experience."
Old man Jiang frowned: "If you want to make trouble, do it yourself. Youguang, don't follow your mother in making trouble."
But Jiang Youguang had long been carried away by success. After studying hard for decades, how could he give up such a good opportunity to show off?
The mother and son walked side by side towards Jiang Youshan's house.
Liu was very proud and did not forget to look back: "Follow me."
Old man Jiang had no choice but to follow.
Fan bit her lip. She didn't want to disobey her elders and her husband, so she said she had a stomachache after walking a few steps.
Liu asked her to go back and rest, saying that the baby in Fan's belly was the scholar's own son and should be treated with respect.
Fan took her daughter and hurried back home. When she entered the house, she was stunned. The couple from the first house didn't go. They returned home earlier than her?
Li acted as if she didn't see the man and slammed the door shut.
Li pretended to be arrogant, but she felt uneasy in her heart: "His father, if we don't go, what if our parents get angry?"
Jiang Youtian said: "Third brother is unreliable, we won't get involved in this mess."
Li didn't understand: "Now that he has passed the exam, even if it is difficult to become an official, he can save the family land tax, which is a lot of good food."
Jiang Youtian sighed, "Save? After passing the exam for a scholar, there is also a juren. You see, my family will definitely sell the land to support him to take the exam again."
Li was worried: "His father, I came to tell you, we have supported him to study for so many years, is it in vain?"
Jiang Youtian sneered, "Don't worry, he will definitely give up all the advantages he has taken. I have inquired about it. Scholars need reputation. I am his elder brother. If he dares to disrespect me, his reputation will be ruined. If his reputation is seriously ruined, he can be stripped of his official title and his title of scholar will be revoked. You say, I won't crush him to death?"
Li was a little confused, but she heard the word "control" clearly. After thinking for a while, she said, "The third brother is cunning and hard to control. Don't let him instigate us, or our mother will turn against you."
Jiang Youtian said: "I have already thought about it. I need you to remind me. You don't have to worry about anything. The important thing is to marry your daughter-in-law as soon as possible."
Speaking of her daughter-in-law, Li complained: "Why hasn't your sister married yet? Your mother is unreasonable. If she doesn't marry, Changshun can't marry her."
"Don't worry about it. The Jia family will come to urge you when they hear the noise. Just focus on Changshun's affairs."
Here, Liu came to Jiang Youshan's house with a proud look on her face. When she saw the front door, she was so angry. No wonder no one went to her house to congratulate her. The whole village went to Jiang Youshan's house!
It's not surprising that no one in the village went to congratulate the deceased. It was really because no one noticed the noise. Everyone was talking and chatting, and no one heard the gongs and drums. The officials entered the village from the other end and only started knocking on the door of the family who announced the good news. Of course, no one heard it.
Jiang Youshan's feast was really generous. Every dish had meat. All the villagers came with their whole families. There was no room in the yard? It didn't matter. The backyard was big. They waited, and when they were full, someone else would come.
Liu came here to show off, and regardless of the surprised looks from others, she walked into the yard with her big feet, bumping into Jiang Youshan. She touched his nose and shouted, "The scholar is here, why don't you kneel down to greet him?"
Jiang Yue was quite annoyed. He had just passed the examination for the title of scholar, and yet he dared to come to his father’s house and make him kneel down?
He turned and entered the training room, took out a slingshot and quietly hit Liu's knee.
thump--
Liu's knee slammed hard onto the ground.
Jiang Youshan inhaled. It must be so painful. It must be swollen!
Liu's teeth were ache and she was sweating coldly.
Jiang Youguang was startled and hurried to support his mother.
Jiang Ming chuckled and walked over: "I vaguely heard the sound of firecrackers just now. It turns out that my third uncle passed the imperial examination."
Seeing that everyone around was looking this way, Jiang Ming said to Old Man Jiang, "You are so happy, have you forgotten that we have already separated and cut off all ties? There is no need to bring your promising son to meet the original wife. Although my grandmother is the legal mother of your illegitimate son, our relationship has been severed for a long time."
The legitimate mother, the stepmother, the original wife, these are things that rural people have no contact with. Jiang Ming has read too many books bought by Jiang Yue, and he has sorted them out long ago. Now he takes them out to disgust Liu, and he feels so comfortable.
Old man Jiang blushed again and again. He had already said that Liu would not be allowed to come.
Jiang Youguang scolded: "I am a man of honor and fame, why are you treating me like this?"
Jiang Ming was speechless: "My family is busy, but you made my father kneel down as soon as you came. What are you trying to show off? Besides, my grandmother was the original wife, your mother was the second wife, my father was the eldest, and you are the second wife. You have read so many books, you should know what etiquette to follow, right? Oh, don't blush, this is the etiquette set by the saints. If you don't accept it, why read books and take the imperial examination?"
