Bring your aunt to eat big meat, the scumbag father's family is furious

In the end, almost everyone in the village who was at home came along, and it was a huge crowd.

"These yamen runners in red clothes came with drums and gongs to deliver the news. Ten years ago, Wang Xiucai was on the list once, but the number of people was half of this."

"No one from our village passed the imperial examination. Could it be that he went to the neighboring village?"

"They should be going to the neighboring village to see which one of them has passed the exam. They must be ranked at the top. Let's go and see the excitement."

The yamen runners asked a question to a child, and then came all the way to the door of the Mu family. The villagers looked at each other in confusion.

They began to realize that there was something they had been neglecting.

"Excuse me, is student Mu Xinghe at home?" asked the leader.

Mu Xinghe walked out of the house and bowed respectfully.

The head of the group nodded, pulled out a document, and read: "Mu Xinghe, a native of Datian Village, Qingshui Town, Ning County, is seventeen years old. In the eighth month of the Jiashen year, he passed the Yuezhou Academy Examination and ranked among the top eight scholars. He meets the requirements for a government academy student. He is allowed to receive one dan of rice and a salary of five hundred coins from the county government office every month. He must undergo an examination at the provincial capital every two years. If he passes, he will continue to enjoy the preferential treatment of a government academy student. If he fails, he will be demoted to an ordinary scholar."

The villagers were shocked. They never expected that Mu Xinghe would pass the examination and become a scholar, and even rank among the top eight in the whole state.

What is this concept?

The only person who can be sure of passing the imperial examination is around the top 20 in the whole state. Mu Xinghe is sure of it.

"This child doesn't look impressive at all, and I thought he wasn't very smart, but I never expected him to be so talented and capable of studying."

"Yes, it's true that you can't judge a person by his appearance, and you can't measure the depth of the sea by a bucket."

"He returned to the village with such good results but didn't publicize it. This shows how patient this kid is."

"It turns out the Qiao family knew about it a long time ago, so they couldn't wait to finalize the marriage. Xi'er will be blessed in the future."

"In the future, I will be an official's wife, with people waiting on me and never having to do housework. I can't even imagine such a life."

For a time, the wind direction reversed, and everyone came to praise Mu Xinghe for his calmness and ability, and praised the Qiao family for their vision and for seizing the opportunity in time.

Mu Xinghe's two uncles and fourth uncle looked at him in disbelief, thinking that this kid was lying to them and couldn't even pass the examination to become a Tongsheng.

Who would have thought that he would bring back a scholar, and a student on government stipend at that.

These yamen runners in red uniforms also brought 20 kilograms of rice and 2 taels of silver as rewards.

After finishing what they needed to do, they went back.

In front of the Mu family's door, there was already an uproar.

After experiencing shock and disbelief, the villagers began to accept this fact. Except for a small group of jealous people, most people congratulated Mu Xinghe wholeheartedly.

Mu Xinghe was the same as before, neither arrogant nor impatient, and expressed his gratitude to everyone one by one.

Zhao Lizheng walked forward, patted Mu Xinghe on the shoulder, and said with a look of satisfaction: "Xinghe, you are a low-key and honest person who never shows your true skills. It is unprecedented in our village that you have become a student of the imperial academy. You are the pride of our Datian Village."

"If you have any difficulties in the future, tell us. You are a promising talent. We will never ignore you. We will provide for you until you pass the imperial examination."

Mu Xinghe knew that Zhao Lizheng was good to him. After his mother died, Zhao Lizheng told him that if he had any difficulties, he could go to him and even gave him five kilograms of rice.

Last time he borrowed money, he was too embarrassed to go to Zhao Lizheng again.

"Yes, Xinghe has lost his parents and his family is penniless. Now he has been admitted as a government stipend student. He is an ambitious man. We should support him at least." said a villager.

So everyone went home and brought eggs, dried vegetables, meat, and rice.

For a moment, the main hall of Mu Xinghe's house was full.

Mu Xinghe was really anxious now. He didn't want everyone's things, but he couldn't persuade them no matter what he did.

In the end, I could only accept it with gratitude.

He wouldn't think that the villagers were snobbish or anything. In fact, most of them were ordinary people with a kind side and a gossipy side.

He really didn't say anything before, so it's normal for everyone to doubt whether he can pass the exam.

"Thank you, thank you everyone. I will remember your kindness." He took his sister's hand and bowed to everyone.

"I receive rice and food every month, and I have a salary. Please don't send gifts to my house anymore. Life is not easy for everyone."

Seeing how enthusiastic the villagers were and how Mu Xinghe's reputation had changed so much, the Qiao family secretly felt fortunate that they had settled this marriage so early, otherwise, who knows how many families would want to marry their daughters to Mu Xinghe.

"Xinghe, you are going to be an official in the future. It is normal to have three wives and four concubines. Although you have an arranged marriage with the Qiao family, you might as well take a look at my girl. You can marry both of you at the same time." An aunt said while eating melon seeds.

Although she spoke casually and even jokingly, she hoped from the bottom of her heart that Mu Xinghe would agree.

"My lotus flowers are the most beautiful in the village."

"And my Cui Er, she's the most efficient at work, you can marry her too."

Everyone burst into laughter, but were observing Mu Xinghe's reaction.

When they learned that Mu Xinghe had been admitted to the imperial academy, the Shen family's faces turned pale.

Shen Liang is crazy, but Mu Xinghe ranked among the top eight in the whole prefecture and has a bright future. Such a huge gap in life has made their mentality seriously unbalanced.

So everyone in the village ran back home to get things to give to the Mu family, but they didn't show any thoughtfulness.

They were even more jealous of the Qiao family. If they got this piece of cake in time, they would have a son-in-law who would become an official in the future.

Otherwise, they would also want to marry the girl from the Shen family to Mu Xinghe. It was all because of the Qiao family who snatched her away.

Now, the villagers said this, and the Shen family secretly hoped that Mu Xinghe would agree.

So what if you arrange the marriage early? If he becomes an official, who will say anything if he marries several people?

How many men can resist such temptation? Mu Xinghe is like a poor man who suddenly becomes rich. He must be longing for it.

The Qiao family thought they had gotten there first, but they didn't realize that this kind of thing was not something they could decide, and they would soon be slapped in the face.

And they are just waiting for the Qiao family to be slapped in the face.

After hearing those words, Mu Xinghe's face showed a little more displeasure.

He said solemnly, "In my lifetime, I will only have Qiao Xier as my wife. After the three-year mourning period is over, I will marry her."

"I have just made an engagement with the Qiao family. While everyone is here, I am making this vow. If I break it, I will be struck by lightning."

Every word was spoken with determination.

Seeing that Mu Xinghe valued his promises and kept his word so much, the villagers were shocked.

This child's calmness, decisiveness and single-mindedness are truly remarkable.

In the crowd, Qiao Xier met Mu Xinghe's eyes, as if he would never regret it in this life.

Her eyes were slightly warm.

Finally met the right person.
