Chapter 188
The three Baozi who announced the good news rode horses and beat the gong to the door of Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao's house. There were many people watching the excitement around the newspaper, and they all stood on tiptoe to see the new official who was elected. What does the master look like.
The common people are naturally happy to join in the fun when they encounter such a good thing. If they are small, they will ask for a drink, and if they are big, they will get a reward. Isn't it beautiful!
It is also because Pei Zhiqi lives in the provincial capital and does not have much contact with neighbors other than his brother-in-law's house. Otherwise, if this were in Baima Village, there would have been villagers standing guard at the entrance of the village, and when they saw a team of horsemen beating gongs and firing cannons, they would have entered the village without waiting for the report. Run to Pei's house to announce the good news!
The people outside and the people inside made this small courtyard very lively, and even the alley suddenly seemed much narrower.
"Pei Zhiqi—who is it—" When they reached the door, the journalists got off their horses, slammed the gong, and shouted loudly.
Everyone in the courtyard hurriedly surrounded Pei Zhiqi and drove him to the door. Pei Zhiqi stood still at the door, adjusted his clothes, and bowed: "Student Pei Zhiqi has seen the official."
The reporter hurriedly helped Pei Zhiqi up, and said with a smile, "Don't dare! Since the person is here, I'll read the victory report! Listen carefully—"
As the crowd watched, the newspaper read: "Master of your mansion——Pei Zhiqi——Yingyiyouke Dongnan Township Examination—No.3 in the pilot exam——Jing Kui——!"
Then the leader of the reporter handed the victory report to Pei Zhiqi, and said to the two accompanying reporters behind him: "The cannon fires the gong!"
The crowd cheered loudly and congratulated, coupled with the sound of cannons and gongs at the door, the scene was very noisy.Li Xiaodao covered his ears to see Xianggong being surrounded by everyone congratulating him, and he was very happy in his heart.
It's just that she always thinks that Xianggong can be the first, but he is actually the third?She has also read Xianggong's articles. No matter the scriptures or policy questions, they all have beautiful rhythms and neat antithesis. They are fluent and easy to understand. Well done.Especially in the first scene of scriptures, so much can be taken into account in the eight-legged essay format. It is hard for her to believe that such an essay can be surpassed.
That's all, Xianggong also said that Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. It is good to be able to win!Standing not far away, she also applauded and applauded the husband.
"Small knife! What are you still doing!" Li Xiaoxin yelled to remind his sister, and then he and the scholar—oh no, now it's time to call the Juren master and brother-in-law to invite the announcers to sit down, and the remaining seats are for the common people and people in the house Grabbing the seats, the seats were filled up at once, and some people were standing and eating with chopsticks, and drank the glass of annunciation wine.
Li Xiaoxin helped the three announcers to drink and eat food. When Li Xiaodao heard his brother calling him, he immediately reacted and quickly gave the red envelopes he had prepared to the announcers. Xiao Xizi let Xiao Xizi throw the remaining red envelopes into the onlookers Grab some fun for everyone.
After the red envelopes were gone, the onlookers shouted, "Too little! Too little!" Li Xiaodao entered the house with a smile, took several large handfuls of copper coins, and threw them down one by one. The people were satisfied when the wave ended , Some people went home after watching the excitement, and some people still stood at the door chatting and chatting.
Li Xiaodao greeted the people at the table with a teapot to eat and drink. Seeing that someone's teacup was empty, he quickly filled it up, and then went to the kitchen to help. Mrs. Wang was busy with a few more dishes, and quickly served them to the table.
The chief annunciator accepted the big red envelope, feeling elated, drank wine, ate meat, and said to Pei Zhiqi who was sitting next to him: "Xinkejingkui, how many relatives do you need to announce, and where are the detailed addresses? Write them down one by one. I'll take it back in a while, and I'll set off tomorrow to announce the good news. As long as it's in the province, use the official post, and the slowest three days can get there!"
Pei Zhiqi thanked the announcer, then went back to the main room to write the address, and finished writing in a short while, holding a note in his hand.
He took it to the table and handed it to the announcer, who looked at it and said, "Are you only reporting these two places? One is my home, and the other is the old man's house... Although it is a bit far away, Jinsha Town is close to Baima Village, so it is not troublesome." , keep it and deliver it within three days!"
Pei Zhiqi made a bow and said, "Thank you, sir."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. You can drink today, but don't drink too much. Don't miss the Luming Banquet held by the chief envoy tomorrow!"
Pei Zhiqi replied: "Students, remember."
After eating and drinking enough, the three announcers were about to leave. Li Xiaoxin greeted them: "Can't you stay here before you go? This courtyard is not enough for the three of you, and there is a house next door to us. Let's invite you to have a good meal in the evening!" "
The leading official who announced the good news waved his hand: "If you go to another place to announce the good news, you will naturally have to trouble your family to stay overnight. Jing Kui himself is in the provincial capital, close to the Yamen and close to my home. There is no need to stay overnight. I will go home to stay at night. more comfortable!"
Li Xiaoxin laughed and said, "That's true!"
Pei Zhiqi, brother-in-law Li Xiaoxin, Li Xiaodao, and a few other family members were at the door, watching the three announcers leave.
Li Xiaodao looked at the sun, reckoning that after tossing and tossing for a long time, it should be mid-afternoon by now.
The spectators who were waiting for the good news have all left, and today the gate of the courtyard is not closed. Cook Wang made some appetizers, heated up the shortbread brought over from the next door in the pot, and set up another table in the main room. Li Xiaoxin Bringing his wife and family clerk, Xiao Xizi, and Mrs. Wang and Li Xiaodao, they sat together again, and then the real celebration of my family began.
Pei Zhiqi sat next to the lady, put a piece of pancake for her and said with a smile: "Miss, eat some, you've been busy at noon, are you hungry?"
Li Xiaodao touched her stomach, and her stomach grunted cooperatively. She smiled and said, "That's right, I'm so hungry that my chest is on my back."
Picking up pancakes, eating vegetables, and drinking a few mouthfuls of tea, Li Xiaodao finally felt more at ease in his stomach.
Chef Wang said with a smile: "From now on, I will be called Master Pei, Madam Li!"
After finishing speaking, everyone booed again: "That's right, that's right! You have to call me Master and Madam!"
Li Xiaodao thought for a while, and said: "This old lady sounds a lot older all of a sudden, and Mrs. Xianggong sounds better."
Li Xiaoxin tapped his sister's forehead lightly with his chopsticks: "You're getting old somewhere! This is called being distinguished, you little girl still doesn't understand!"
Everyone laughed, Li Xiaodao rubbed his forehead, and whispered to Pei Zhiqi: "It's just a bit old, don't you think you are a master? How can you be called a master in your twenties?"
Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Madam, you can call me whatever you want, you can call me anything."
Xiao Xizi jokingly said, "Miss Li, what do you call the 20-year-old Master Juren?"
Li Xiaodao tilted his head and thought for a while: "I don't want the word 'old', young...Master? Why do you sound ruffian?"
Li Xiaodao's words made everyone burst into laughter again, even Pei Zhiqi's serious temperament in front of others was amused.
As if he had become the master of amusing in charge of the banquet atmosphere, Li Xiaodao cleared his throat and was about to ask a serious question to restore his image.
"Brother, sister-in-law, have you decided? Do you want to go home together at the end of the month?"
