There are nine days to test in the rural examination, and these nine days are a dual test of knowledge and physical strength.
After the exam, Tie Honglin returned to the inn, fell on the bed and fell asleep. The boy next to him hurriedly took off his shoes and covered him with clothes.
After waking up, it was already a day and a night. The next step is to wait anxiously.
Three days later, the results of the rural examination came out.
See the end from the beginning, and then see the head from the end. After reading it twice, Tie Honglin didn't see his name either.
Tie Honglin murmured to himself without a thought in his eyes: "I missed the ranking." He had been preparing for this day for so many years, but he didn't expect to lose his name.
The young servant Azhong asked carefully: "My son, where are we going now?" The reserved room is due today.
Thinking of boasting that he would definitely pass the exam, he felt shameless to face his grandfather and parents who had high hopes. It's just that after so many things, Tie Honglin knew that evasion would not solve the problem. On the contrary, if he evades his relatives, he will be more worried.
Tie Honglin said dejectedly: "Go home!"
You don't need to ask, looking at Tie Honglin's appearance, you know that he has failed. Tiehu said, "Honglin, I let your uncle study, but your uncle didn't want to. Look at him now, he's not the same as a great prospect." Even if there is no niece like the empress, his son is a general of the third grade.
Honglin regretted hearing this and said, "I knew it, I should have practiced martial arts."
Chun Ni said: "It doesn't matter if you don't pass the exam this time. We will take the exam again in three years. Honglin, mother believes you will be able to pass the exam by then."
Tiehu did not approve of Honglin's continued reading. But seeing the listless appearance of the little grandson, he could not say anything. In private, have a good talk with Honglin.
"Don't say so much, let Honglin take a bath, eat a meal, and have a good rest." Of course he is happy to be able to pass the exam, but it is nothing if he fails the exam. Hongbo is not even a talented person, and now this master book is not doing well.
Hongbo actually knew that Tie Honglin had failed this morning, although it was a pity. But his thoughts were the same as Chunni, if he failed the exam this time, then continue reading. Retake the exam three years later, anyway, their family can afford it.
After resting for two days, Tie Hu called Tie Honglin into his room and asked, "What are your plans in the future?"
Tie Honglin hesitated and said, "Grandfather, I still want to continue the exam." After so many years of reading, how can I give up easily.
Tiehu was silent and said, "Honglin, you can count it with your fingers. How old are you this year?"
Tie Honglin lowered his head and said nothing.
"Honglin, you are twenty-four years old this year, and you haven't married a wife yet. My parents and I can marry you a daughter-in-law, but can't you ask us to help you with your daughter-in-law and children?" He said: "Furthermore, we are all old, and we still rely on your eldest brother to raise. If you want to study, it means that the whole family has to be raised by your eldest brother. Even if your eldest brother is willing, I won't agree! "
Tie Honglin looked up at Tiehu: "Grandfather..." He really didn't think so much, so he wanted to fight again.
"Honglin, three hundred and sixty trips are the top pick. Studying is not the only way out." Anyway, he does not support Honglin's continued study.
Honglin was a bit bitter: "Grandfather, what else can I do without studying? I can't go home to farm now, either!"
Hearing this, the iron tiger's expression eased a lot, and he didn't insist on going his own way and said that it would be easier to continue studying: "I'm writing to your uncle, asking him to find you a book official in the army. As long as you are not afraid of hardship. Don't be afraid of being tired and work as a errand. With your uncle, you will never be worse than your elder brother in the future." Ning Hai is the top leader in Tongcheng, so why can't he go up with him.
Tie Honglin did not refuse, but said: "Grandfather, let me consider it."
"Take your time to think about it!" Tie Hu was very clear about Tie Honglin's temperament, he was not afraid of hardship. As long as you continue to study, you will definitely be willing to go to Tongcheng.
Tie Honglin locked himself in the room and couldn't get out. Chunni was too anxious if he wanted to open it, so she almost knocked the door open. However, they were all stopped by Iron Tiger.
Tiehu said: "If you can't stand even such a setback, you won't have much success in this life."
The next morning, Tie Honglin walked out of the house. Those eyes were all red and red.
Chun Ni hugged him and cried and said, "My son, just read it if you miss it. I and your father will also provide you with smashing pots and irons."
The corners of Hongbo's mouth twitched.
Tie Honglin originally decided to give up studying, and felt uncomfortable. But after hearing Chunni's words, she felt that it was right to give up studying. He is so unfilial that his elderly parents are working at this age.
"Mother, I figured it out. I'm so old, and I have to rely on my parents and elder brother to raise them. What's the difference with trash." He decided, and went to Tongcheng. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become famous.
It was also because Ninghai was there, otherwise Tie Honglin didn't have this confidence.
Hearing this, Tiehu was very satisfied: "It's good if you can figure it out. You are not too young anymore, and it's time to talk about a marriage."
This time Tie Honglin did not refuse.
Chunni was overjoyed, and turned around to discuss the matter with her eldest daughter-in-law.
Tie Honglin had only one requirement for his wife, and the other party must be literate. But in this small county, there are very few literate girls.
Ning Hai's reply has arrived, and Tie Honglin's marriage has not yet been finalized.
After reading the letter, Tie Honglin said, "Grandfather, uncle said that I can get me a job as a governor in the army." The governor is an official of the eighth grade, and is considered to be an official of the imperial court.
"That's good."
The marriage is still undecided, and it is impossible for Tiehu and Chunni to let him go to Tongcheng.
That night, Chunni and Tie Honglin said: "The girl from the Yu family is beautiful, and she is gentle and gentle. You are going to miss it, and you won't find such a good girl in the future." The girl is illiterate, not as good as Honglin. standard. .
This girl Yu's father is the second daughter of the official Fang Dianshi. Tie Honglin is 24 years old this year, and the Yu family girl is only 16 years old this year. At such an old age, if there is not a brother who is the master book, how can he marry a girl who is a historian.
Tie Honglin said nothing.
Tiehu said with a sullen face: "Marriage matters, the words of the matchmaker ordered by parents. Chunni, if you think this girl is good, set the date."
Chun Ni shook her head. If Honglin is not happy, it would be bad for her girl to be forced to marry back. Then it's not marriage, but vengeance. Moreover, she couldn't do this kind of deceptive thing.
Tiehu waited for Honglin and said, "You think the girl is illiterate, just teach her to read after you marry. If you don't marry now, is it possible that you still want to go to Tongcheng to marry a wife?" He doesn't mind Tie Honglin. The problem with Tongcheng getting a wife is that there are so few women there, and the bachelors don't know how many. Tie Honglin is not particularly good. In all likelihood, he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
When it comes to this, Tie Honglin can only relax: "Mother, let me see you!" If it's an elm bump, he won't be able to teach it even if he has the heart to teach it.
After meeting, Tie Honglin agreed to the kiss.
Chunni was so overjoyed that she immediately invited a matchmaker to come and propose a marriage. Then, start to buy the dowry.
Tiehu called Chunni over, and gave her two ingots of gold: "You use this money to buy Honglin's wedding ceremony."
"Father, I have money."
Ning Hai gave Tiehu one thousand taels of silver last time. Children and grandchildren are filial, but you can buy whatever you want if you have money.
Tiehu said, "As I don't know, you don't have any money at all. Last time, to subsidize Honglang, you also sold two pieces of jewelry." There is still pocket money, but there must be no money for Honglang to do the marriage.
Chun Ni was startled: "Father, how did you know about this?" She thought she was doing it secretly, and only her husband knew about it. Unexpectedly, Tiehu, who didn't care about everything, knew it.
"Not only I know, but Dabao his mother knows too. Dabao's mother has a heart-warming heart, otherwise she would have trouble early. Nizi, three sons, you have to have a good bowl of water. I'm in old age." When Kuizi bought gifts, he never favored one or the other.
After a while, Chun Ni said, "After Honglin gets married, I will give them all the jewellery on hand." Those jewellery is too expensive, I didn't dare to wear it before, and now I don't want to wear it at the same age.
Tie Hu said, "You distribute jewelry to a few daughters-in-law, and the money is collected by yourself. You have the money, so it is convenient to buy anything." Without money, it takes a long time to buy a gift for your great-grandson. But if you have money, you can buy it if you like it.
Seeing that Chunni managed Honglin's marriage and did not take public accounts, Fu's persuasion was unsuccessful and took a silver box to Chunni. Inside, there was a hundred taels of silver.
Chun Ni shook Fu's hand and said, "It is my and your father's responsibility to marry your third brother. How can I ask for your money. Don't worry, there is still money on my mother. If it is not enough, I will talk to you again. borrow."
Hearing this, Fu said with a smile: "Why don't you borrow? My mother said this too far. Mother, if you don't have enough money, please tell me."
At the beginning of this year, Fu and Shao Wencheng opened a restaurant together. Because of the chef's good craftsmanship, the restaurant business is very good. Originally wanted to open an embroidery room, but she temporarily put it on hold because she was pregnant again.
In fact, she was a little unhappy when she knew that Chunni had sold jewelry to supplement Honglang. But then I thought about her husband now being the owner, and she opened a shop to make money again, and she still worries that she won't be able to buy a few precious jewellery in the future. Therefore, this matter is also let go.
Chunni was so relieved that this daughter-in-law was really married.
Because Tie Honglin was going to Tongcheng, the marriage was scheduled for a month. I was anxious, but there was a lot of courtesy.
The bride married and entered the door, and the Tie family was really uncomfortable. After Tie Honglin returned to the door with the bride, he began to prepare to go to Tongcheng.
Two days before leaving, Chun Ni called Duan Honglang's family to have a reunion dinner together.
After eating, Chun Ni came into the house and brought out a jewelry box. The jewelry box is made of yellow rosewood with primitive patterns carved on it. This box is no ordinary product at first glance.
Opening the box, everyone was dazzled by the colorful jewelry in the box.
First set a small goal, such as 1 second remember: Shukeju mobile version website:
