Chapter 72 The County Magistrate Arrives
As more and more people arrived, the people in Shenjia Village became numb. They had never imagined that Shen Lao San would have such a great face.
I’m afraid that most of the rich people in the entire county have come?
In the kitchen, Old Mrs. Shen was very busy. They didn't expect so many people to come. There were seven or eight more tables at once, and there was not enough food.
Old Mrs. Shen asked someone to call Shen Mingzhu over. Shen Mingzhu and Old Mrs. Shen pretended to go out to buy ingredients, but actually exchanged a lot of them from the system.
After sending the ingredients to the kitchen, Shen Mingzhu asked Old Lady Shen not to cook herself, but to teach Mrs. Zhong and Aunt Wang, the village chief's wife, to cook.
Old Mrs. Shen did not insist and let the two young ones take charge of the cooking while she directed them from the side.
Shen Mingzhu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the problem in the kitchen was solved, and was very glad that she had the redemption system.
The redemption system is really her blessing!
Before she had time to be happy, she was called to the front yard. It was already noon and the banquet was about to begin. Shen Lao San asked her to lead the guests to their seats first.
After all the seats were filled, the village chief who was in charge of today ordered people to set off firecrackers at the gate to celebrate. When they heard about the firecrackers, everyone ran to the gate to watch the fun.
As the firecrackers crackled, everyone was very happy.
Some children even covered their ears and wanted to pick up some firecrackers to play with, but were stopped by adults.
Just at this moment, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance. Everyone looked towards the village entrance curiously, wondering who would come this time.
When Shen Laosan and Shen Laotou heard the noise, they hurried out.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw two carriages parked in front of the door. As soon as the carriages stopped, a servant jumped out from the front carriage. As soon as Xiao Si got off, four more people got off from the back carriage.
When Shen Laosan and Old Man Shen saw the people coming from the carriage behind, they were slightly stunned, especially Shen Laosan, who was confused.
Why is Wang Zhubu here?
Just as he was about to step forward to say hello, he saw Wang Zhubu waving at him, motioning for him to wait.
Shen Laosan instantly understood what Wang Zhubu meant and stopped.
Then, Wang Zhubu walked to the front carriage and said respectfully in a low voice, "Sir, we have arrived at Shen Ruhai's home in Shenjia Village." Then he stood aside respectfully.
At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and County Magistrate Zhang walked out of the carriage, stepped on the horse stool, and got off the carriage.
Why is the magistrate here?
Shen Lao San was slightly shocked, and quickly adjusted his mood, tidied his clothes, and stepped forward to salute:
"Student Shen Ruhai pays his respects to the county magistrate."
What? The county magistrate is here? Is this the county magistrate?
Old man Shen reacted quickly and hurried forward to bow.
Shen Mingshu, who was only a student, also stepped forward to pay his respects. When the people drinking nearby heard that this was the magistrate, they were shocked and quickly knelt down to pay their respects.
"Greetings, His Excellency the Magistrate."
"Greetings, His Excellency the Magistrate."
Suddenly, the voices calling for an audience with the magistrate grew louder and louder, alarming the people in the yard and the house, and everyone came out to kneel and pay homage.
When Shen Mingshu was kneeling, County Magistrate Zhang hurried forward, helped Shen Mingshu up, and asked everyone to stand up without any formalities.
Shen Ruhai and Shen Mingshu had met many important figures in their previous lives, so they were slightly surprised, but then thought it was nothing.
Only Mr. Shen was very excited and nervous.
Shen Ruhai did not speak, but County Magistrate Zhang said very casually:
"Everyone, please don't kneel. I'm here to congratulate Shen Ruhai and his son. You don't need to be so polite. Stand up."
When Shen Laosan saw that Magistrate Zhang was wearing his regular clothes today and did not bring his ceremonial guard, he understood and said with a smile:
"It is a blessing for our family that you can come to our Shen family. It brings honor to our family."
The more Magistrate Zhang looks at Shen Laosan and his son, the more he likes them.
Shen Ruhai came first in the college entrance examination this time, which brought honor to the Wuxi County magistrate and made him gain face in front of his superiors.
Although he has a distinguished family background, he also wants to make some political achievements with his own strength.
What he didn't expect was that Shen Ruhai and his son gave him a big surprise.
Shen Ruhai and his son, one was the top student at the age of eleven, and the other was a scholar in his twenties. It was truly an unprecedented story.
This father and son duo not only brought honor to their Wuxi County, but also to their Wanxian Prefecture. They are now famous.
More importantly, the Shen family father and son are so young, it is very likely that they will pass the imperial examinations in the future.
In any case, their future is bright, and it will add a touch of luster to his political achievements.
"You two are excellent father and son. I hope you can forgive me for not informing you in advance of your visit."
Magistrate Zhang spoke in a very friendly tone, which made Shen Ruhai feel relieved.
He and Mingshu attended a banquet held by the county magistrate to commend students who had achieved academic success.
Because the father and son had outstanding achievements, the county magistrate publicly commended them, so they were familiar with Magistrate Zhang.
However, what they did not expect was that County Magistrate Zhang would come to their home in person to congratulate them. This was a big surprise.
After County Magistrate Zhang finished talking to Old Third Shen, he looked at Old Man Shen and smiled as he stepped forward to greet him:
"You must be Mr. Shen's father, Mr. Shen! Meet Uncle!"
"No, no, my lord, just call me Shen Shiwang."
Old Man Shen did not expect that County Magistrate Zhang would take the initiative to greet him so kindly. He was flattered and said:
"Sir, this student is Shen Ruhai's father, Shen Shiwang. I am sorry for not welcoming you, the magistrate."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Magistrate Zhang waved his hand casually and said to the others:
"Today is a good day for the Shen family and their son. I'm here to have a drink. You don't have to be so reserved. Come in and sit down to eat!"
Upon seeing this, Shen Mingshan welcomed Magistrate Zhang and Chief Secretary Wang into the main hall, invited the adults to sit at the main table, and then sent someone to give a message to Old Lady Shen in the kitchen, telling them that the feast was ready to begin.
After Magistrate Zhang and his companions entered the house, the tense atmosphere outside eased somewhat. The villagers all looked towards the main hall, feeling excited and thrilled.
They actually met the county magistrate today. Not only did they meet the county magistrate, they also had a drink with him. If they told others about this, how many people would be envious!
Everyone was particularly envious of Shen Laosan and speculated about the relationship between Shen Laosan and the county magistrate.
Those businessmen and wealthy people, in their hearts, greatly elevated the status of Shen Laosan and his son.
They came here to drink this time because they originally thought that Shen Laosan and his son would do very well in the imperial examination this time. Before the Shen father and his son passed the examination, they wanted to establish a good relationship with them in advance, which could be considered an investment.
If the father and son of the Shen family pass the imperial examination in the future, you can take care of them a little more for today's sake.
However, he did not expect that the county magistrate would come in person to congratulate Shen Lao San. This shows that the father and son of the Shen family hold a high status in the county magistrate's mind.
The businessman and the rich man thought at the same time that they must re-examine the Shen father and son in the future.
Businessmen are profit-driven and shrewd, and their minds have already gone through many twists and turns.
Manager Wang of Sanwei Bookstore was also happy with his good vision. He was glad that he had met Shen Laosan early and did not exploit him during their cooperation.
Li Sanniang also came out to greet the magistrate. Seeing how well the magistrate treated Shen Lao San, she happily said to Su as soon as she returned to the women's side:
"Sister, you are so blessed. You have a capable husband and good children. I really envy you."
Su smiled, not knowing what to say. She knew about Li Sanniang's family situation, but it was someone else's family affair, so she couldn't say much.
Su did not notice the envy and the flash of loneliness in Li Sanniang's eyes.
