The journey of the only child of a peasant family to take the imperial examination

Except for Qian Youyi who noticed something unusual, no one else in the family knew anything about these things.

Zhang Laoer and Xu were still happily preparing the buffet for the next day.

However, Qian Youyi is a smart person. She knows what to say and what not to say, so she will not interfere in these matters.

Life is full of confusion!

As the daughter of a big family, the most important thing to do is to put yourself in the right position.

Perhaps because she had been sick since childhood and there were many daughters in her family, her personality was relatively cold and indifferent.

Although I know that my marriage when I grow up will be arranged by my family and I will not have any control over it, I still have a sense of admiration for my parents and brothers.

But she never had the same unwavering devotion to the family as her elder sister. Even after marrying out, her heart was with Han even though she was in Cao's camp!

She knew very well that from the moment she got married, the rest of her life and all her glory would depend on her husband.

Besides, she might not live long, and since her husband can handle it himself, she can just turn a blind eye!

The next day came in a blink of an eye, and the mansion was going to hold a three-day buffet, which was very lively!

Zhang Ping'an brought his parents to greet and see off guests, and he almost collapsed from exhaustion!

I barely drank a few sips of water throughout the day, but I did drink a lot of wine!

Guo Jia joked, "Ping An, your alcohol tolerance is not good. You need to practice more!"

Zhang Pingan said angrily, "You think I don't know that you guys are doing a round-robin battle, taking turns getting me drunk? Why don't you try it?"

"Hehe!" Guo Jia smiled. "You're about to take up your new post, right? I won't have so many opportunities to drink with you in the future. Don't you have to seize the opportunity, brother?"

"Ping'an, we grew up together and studied together. Except for the time when you went to the provincial school, we have basically never been separated. Now you are going to Ci County, and we have to separate. I really can't bear to think about it," Jin Bao said with his eyes almost red.

Zhang Pingan was also very sad when he heard this.

Jinbao's temperament is different from his. He is a person who is particularly content with the status quo. He can neither fly out nor does he want to fly out.

If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, one could live a comfortable and smooth life.

He also didn't want to be separated from Jinbao.

But there is no lasting banquet in the world.

I just hope that when I have the ability in the future, I can take better care of Jinbao.

"Ci County is not far from Lin'an. If you have the chance in the future, you can come to Ci County to find me. I heard that there are a lot of seafood there, which we couldn't eat when we were in the north. I will treat you to the freshest sea fish and crabs then," Zhang Ping'an said with a smile.

Jin Bao shook his head: "It's different!"

Xiao Yifei couldn't stand this kind of scene, and quickly called out, "Come on, come on, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's not go home until we're drunk today!"

After three days of excitement, the buffet was finally over!

Another thing happened during this period. Fifth brother-in-law Fang Ziqi and uncle Xu proposed to follow Zhang Pingan to take up the post, saying that they were going to help.

Especially Uncle Xu, his words and actions implied that he wanted the whole family to go with him.

Before Zhang Pingan could say anything, Zhang Laoer's face darkened: "Youcai, aren't you kidding me?!"

Uncle Xu complained: "Oh, brother-in-law, I'm not kidding. Ping An is going to take up his post in an unfamiliar place. He will definitely need help. Your two nephews and I have nothing but strength. We can do things like running errands and delivering messages!"

After saying that, he pointed at Shen and said, "Tian Shou's mother is quite good at cooking. She can bring your two nephews and their wives to help with the cooking! As for wages, just pay them according to the general market price. We won't ask for much!"

Hearing this, Madam Xu spat, "You're quite talented! Don't blame Third Sister for being harsh. I don't know what kind of personality your husband has. You've finally settled down in Lin'an and bought a house. You should be living a peaceful life. Why are you all going to Ci County with me?"

Zhang Laosan couldn't hold it in any longer. He ran in from the flower hall and said "Pooh" in a very rude way, "Pooh, Xu Youcai, what a wishful thinking! You think we Zhang brothers are dead, don't you? Ping'an is going to be the county magistrate. Even if he needs help, it should be me and his uncle's family who should go. How can it be your turn as an outsider? What's more, your two sons can only tinker with wood and can't read a few words. How can they help Ping'an? Our Erhe is educated, and Dahe has done business outside and has seen the world. They are no better than your two sons!"

Let's not talk about Fang Ziqi. After all, he is a scholar, well-educated, has a good family background, is smart, and is the son-in-law of the second wife. There is nothing wrong with him!

But what right did Uncle Xu have???

In terms of closeness, it’s never his turn!

He said that this family sneakily brought his second brother's family to the flower hall, and they had no good intentions!

As expected, he was right!

Fortunately, he was careful enough to follow and eavesdrop, otherwise, if Uncle Xu had followed him secretly, the matter would have been a fait accompli and he would have been vomiting to death!

Uncle Xu knew that he was in the wrong and felt a little embarrassed when he was caught by Zhang Laosan on the spot. He had indeed been planning to talk to his brother-in-law's family and then secretly follow him to take up the post.

But he still refused to give in, yelling, "What's the matter? I'm not his legitimate uncle!"

"What's the matter?" Zhang Laosan looked unhappy.

At this time, clan consciousness is very strong.

If you want to pull someone up, you must first pull up your own relatives.

Everyone in the world assumes this.

Mrs. Xu was not in a position to speak up for Uncle Xu.

She herself doesn't agree with it!

The shouting attracted Zhang Lao Da's family and Old Man Zhang from the Zhang family.

After hearing the whole story, Boss Zhang and the others looked very unhappy and looked at Uncle Xu with unfriendly eyes.

Old man Zhang didn't react much.

Zhang's expression was quite calm. She looked at Zhang Ping'an and said, "Ping'an, what do you say?"

Everyone looked over.

Zhang Pingan sighed inwardly, then stood up and said decisively, "Uncle, Third Uncle, and Uncle-in-law, stop arguing. This time, I'm only bringing my family and the people from Black Wind Ferry on the farm!"

He paused, then glanced at everyone with a serious expression, "The situation in Ci County is still unclear. As the county magistrate, I'm the head of a county, but as a new official, I'm bound to have a lot of things to do and I'm overwhelmed. You guys are going to abandon your families and careers and give up your comfortable life here to follow me. Isn't that absurd?"

Uncle Xu shrank his neck and muttered softly, "You are the county magistrate!"

Zhang Pingan was almost laughing with anger, and said calmly, "I'm the county magistrate, so what? We're all relatives, and we prosper together. If I do well, you'll naturally do well too. But if you try to hold me back like this, it's hard to say what will happen in the future!"

There is a deterrent implication in the words!

Xu was also angry and said, "That's right! You have so many burdens following you. When the time comes, you will all rely on my son to support you. You are living a good life in Lin'an. Why are you causing trouble in Ci County?"

Then he attacked several companies indiscriminately.

The faces of the people who spoke became more and more ugly.

Seeing this, Zhang Pingan softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, everyone. Once I've established myself in Ci County, I'll let you know if I need your help. After all, it's more reassuring to use your own people!"

Fang Ziqi was the most sensible person. He immediately smiled and said, "You are right, little brother. I was reckless and thoughtless in this matter. If you need help in Ci County, send someone to send a letter back and I will come immediately!"

Uncle Xu also said, "Uncle was not considerate enough!"

The families of Zhang Lao Da and Zhang Lao San had not originally thought of going, but when they saw that Uncle Xu was not going, they let the matter go!
