Moon frost snow

Therefore, Yang's attitude towards Li Lian'er became better, and Li Lian'er was also very happy. No matter what, she could stay in He Tian's house for the time being.

If she could gain the favor of his family, she would be one step closer to becoming an official's wife.

Soon another day passed. Early in the morning, the sky was foggy and an official came to the village on horseback.

The official asked the villagers about He Tian's home and came to He Tian's house. The villagers followed him curiously.

"An official came to the village on horseback and went to He Tian's house. Could it be that He Tian passed the exam?"

"Let's go, let's go and have a look, let's go and have a look."

Because the sky was overcast, Yang and her two sons were collecting food at home.

Seeing the official coming, he was startled and stepped forward nervously to salute, "Sir, what brings you to my house?"

The official smiled, bowed, and said, "Congratulations! I'm here at the behest of my county magistrate to congratulate Mr. He Tian and deliver official documents to Mr. He. Where is Mr. He? Where is he? Please come and receive the official documents in person."

Upon hearing this, Yang was overjoyed and said excitedly, "Your Excellency is right. My grandson, he, he passed the exam. That's great. Your Excellency, please wait a moment. If you need food, go and call Tian'er out. If you need money, go to my room and get an ounce of silver from under the pillow and give it to you."

He Youliang knocked on He Tian's door and said, "Tian'er, Tian'er, come out quickly. You passed the exam, you became a scholar. The official is here to announce the good news. Come out quickly!"

He Tian opened the door, looking disheveled and dazed, and asked, "What scholar, what master?"

He Youliang said happily, "You have passed the imperial examination. The official is waiting outside. Hurry up and go see the official."

He Tian's eyes widened. "I won. I really won."

Then he smiled and looked up at the sky, "Mom, I passed the imperial examination. Did you see that? I passed the imperial examination."

Then she lowered her head with tears in her eyes and said, "But you will never see it again."

He Youliang said unhappily, "Be a real man, it's okay to be sad for a while, there's no need to act like a woman. You're always hard on yourself. Look at yourself now. I'm afraid the person you care about will hate you if they see you."

When He Tian heard this, he immediately thought of Yue'er. He wiped away his tears and nervously went back to the room to change clothes, wash up and pack before coming out.

Yang had already handed the officer one ounce of silver and said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation for your hard work. I hope you won't mind."

The official took the silver and put it in his arms, smiling and saying, "You are too polite, madam. I am just following orders, so I will shamelessly share in the scholar's happiness."

Seeing that He Tian had not come out yet, Yang smiled and said, "Official, you have worked hard. Come and have a cup of tea. My grandson must be too excited and needs to change into clean clothes. Please be patient and wait for a moment."

The official had just received the money and thought what he said made sense. He smiled and said, "No hurry, no hurry."

The official was sitting on a chair drinking tea. Li Lian'er, who was watching from the side, was very happy, as if she had already seen herself becoming the official's wife.

Wang Xiaoju touched her belly and said, "My son will definitely be more powerful than him in the future."

Wang Xiaoju spoke in a very low voice so that only she could hear it, and the villagers who were watching were all happy for He Tian.

After a while, He Tian changed his clothes, tidied his appearance and came out.

Although he has lost a lot of weight in the past two days, he still looks handsome after cleaning up.

He Tian came before the officer and bowed, "Student He Tian greets the officer."

The official smiled and stood up, bowed to He Tian and said, "Mr. He, you are welcome. Congratulations, Mr. He, you have passed the exam. This is the official document, please sign for it."

He Tian took the document and took a look at it, then saluted the officer with a smile and said, "Thank you very much, officer, for taking the trouble to make this trip."

The official bowed and said, "Mr. He, there's no need to be polite. The document has been delivered to me. I will take my leave now."

The He Tian family bowed and said, "Goodbye, officer."

The official rode away on his horse. Yang held He Tian's hand and cried with joy, "I knew my grandson would definitely pass the exam. You really didn't let me down."

The villagers also congratulated him. Yang waved her hand and said, "Thank you very much. Tomorrow, my family will set up several tables to celebrate He Tian's success in the imperial examination. We invite all the elders and villagers to come and share in the joy."

After everyone nodded in agreement, they went back in twos and threes. Li Lian'er quickly came to He Tian and said, "Brother Tian, ​​congratulations! Lian'er knew that Brother Tian would definitely pass the exam."

He Tian politely kept his distance from Li Lian'er and said expressionlessly, "Thank you."

Then he entered the room with the official documents, and Yang also instructed He Youliang and his brothers to prepare for tomorrow's banquet.

Li Lian'er ignored He Tian's attitude towards her and still happily followed Yang to help with the preparations.

The sky was overcast on the first day, but the sun was shining brightly on the second day, as if God was also happy about something.

Yang was rarely generous and set up eight tables in the yard. She asked He Youcai to notify all the relatives and friends nearby as soon as possible.

Fortunately, it was not far away. The farthest place only took about an hour to walk to. It was a very lively day.

Yang put on the new clothes that had been prepared long ago, and was happily chatting with the elderly people of the same age in the village.

He Youcai, He Youliang and He Tian were all greeting guests. Wang Xiaoju got angry when she saw how happy He Youcai was.

Li Lian'er dressed up beautifully and helped out with all the running around, as if her son had passed the imperial examination.

I didn't know, I thought she was He Tian's daughter-in-law. Li Lian'er was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling when someone misunderstood her.

Only nephews and nieces were left from Yang's family. When they heard that He Tian had passed the imperial examination, they brought their daughters to the banquet.

Most of those who have daughters brought their daughters with them, and some came as a whole family just for the delicious food.

The scene was even more lively than when He Hua and Daniu got married. Naturally, Yang's relatives were seated at Yang's table.

Yang's nephews and nieces all chatted with her enthusiastically, and intentionally or unintentionally promoted their own daughters.

The adults chatted with Yang, while the daughters they brought with them, who were interested in He Tian, ​​gathered in groups of three or five and asked him questions.

He Tian was not interested in playing somewhere else, which earned him a look of disappointment from his parents.

He Tian politely kept his distance from them. He was impatient in his heart, but still refused with a smile.

Li Lian'er was so angry that she pushed them aside with a glass of water and came to He Tian. "Brother Tian, ​​you must be tired! Come and have a drink of water first!"

Li Lian'er put the drink directly into He Tian's hand without caring whether He Tian wanted to drink it or not. Li Lian'er turned around and saluted the people around her with a smile, "Dear sisters, thank you for coming to celebrate my brother Tian's success in the imperial examination. Lian'er would like to thank you all on behalf of my brother Tian."
