Chapter 158: Happy Event
But their despair did not last long before a great good thing befell them.
Although Xu Hai, the second pirate leader in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, has been ambushed, the problem of the Japanese invasion has still not been solved, and the anti-Japanese situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is becoming increasingly tight, and the Guangdong side plans to transfer warships to support.
Wu Guifang also had good intentions, and asked the governor to allow these people who went to Beijing to take the examination with the ship on the grounds that "this year's Enke Township Examination is late, and the candidates do not have enough time to rush to Beijing to take the examination." After arriving in Zhejiang, these lifters went north from the Yihang Grand Canal on their own.
In previous years, this practice was indeed unruly, but this year's situation is really special. In the end, after much consideration, the governor nodded and agreed.
Compared with the route of "crossing Huguang, going to Hankou and then continuing north", this combination of sea and water is undoubtedly a more relaxed route.
Many people who are preparing to take the exam are very excited when they hear the news. Not to mention that you don't have to worry about safety along the way, and you can also arrive in the capital on time to take the exam, which is definitely a great thing.
It is precisely because of this that everyone's mood has improved slightly, after all, they have also benefited from this banquet.
In the 36th year of Jiajing, the Guangdong Luming Banquet slowly came to an end in a festive atmosphere.
Lin Haoran went out of the yamen of the political envoy and followed everyone to say goodbye.
When he first arrived, many people looked at Lin Haoran with envy, but when he left, his eyes were more jealous, and of course, there was a trace of awe.
Compared to them, this man was already far ahead of them. Not only does he have the title of Xie Yuan, but he also has been extremely valued by his mentor Yin Tai, and even Lord Wu, who is a right-hand politician, reveals his appreciation.
Zhang Wei, who ranked second, and Li Zhiqiang, who ranked third, looked very helpless in their hearts, although the results of the township examination only fell to Lin Haoran a little, but the treatment was like a world of difference.
In the examination, the second place is the list eye, and the third place is Tanhua. But in the township test, they are nothing, and they are not even as good as Zhao Dongcheng, who was at the end of the list by the Niu family, they are really more popular than others.
Lin Haoran didn't care too much about the changes in everyone's hearts, turned down the invitation to go to the Drunken Red Mansion, and returned directly to the Shangshi Restaurant.
The restaurant is not open today, and he does not plan to open the restaurant in the coming days.
After deciding to go north directly to take the exam, he knew that he and his sister would be separated for a long time, so he planned to take the tiger girl to visit the city in the next few days.
Ha! Ha!
The tiger girl was holding a stick and waving it decently under Ali's guidance, her bright eyes were full of murderous intent, and her fleshy face looked very serious.
first waved to the north, then to the west, and then to the south, but when he looked up and saw Lin Haoran standing in front, he immediately said with surprise on his face: "Brother, you're back!" ”
Ali also looked at Lin Haoran, her eyes were a little complicated, and she already knew that the person in front of her was not what she used to be, and she would become a reserve official of this great country.
If you go to the capital and pass that exam again, you will be directly awarded an official, and you will become a great official in this vast country in the future.
"Would you like us to go outside?" Lin Haoran looked at the red face of the tiger girl and asked with a smile.
"Okay!" The tiger girl's eyes lit up, she put away her stick and looked up proudly.
In the blink of an eye, October is approaching, and the night in Guangzhou Mansion is full of coolness. It's just that when I walked to the Guangzhou Gongyuan, it was very lively, and many vendors were shouting here.
Hu Niu bought two bamboo fire cages at the stall, which are local heating appliances.
The cage looks like a pot with a handle, and inside is a small clay pot with a charcoal fire. If it's cold, put the burning charcoal in a clay pot and put your hand on the mouth of the fire cage to keep warm.
When he arrived at a food stall, Lin Haoran asked for a pot of seafood porridge, which tasted extremely delicious. But the tiger girl asked for boat porridge and preferred this affordable food.
Lin Haoran told Hu Niu some things about tonight's Luming banquet, and finally looked at her seriously and said: "On the sixth day of October, I will leave for the capital, you ...... How about going home first? ”
"I want to go to the capital with you!" Tiger Girl's big bright eyes immediately looked at him and said leisurely.
"It's too far this time, and I'm afraid you won't have to stay too long when you get to the capital, so you might as well not go with me!" Lin Haoran touched her head and followed her.
"I want to be with you!" The tiger girl frowned slightly, and her mood was a little low.
"I want to be with you all the time! But if I've been away from you for so long, what will happen to our family? Lin Haoran didn't show a too tough attitude, and added: "Otherwise, you take care of the affairs of the family first." My brother went to the capital to take the exam, if my brother won the Jinshi, see where my brother would be assigned to be an official, would you like to come to my brother when I arrived? ”
Hu Niu had made up her mind to go north with her brother, she was not afraid of hardship, but after listening to her brother's analysis, she was also hesitant in her heart. After all, she and her brother are now at home, leaving one person to take care of the family's affairs.
"Then you take Ali, Ali's kung fu is very powerful, and she can protect you!" The tiger girl still compromised, and pointed to Ali in the distance and said seriously.
Lin Haoran looked at her fingers, but shook her head very firmly and said, "No!" My brother knows how to take care of himself, and if Ali is not by your side, my brother will not feel at ease! ”
"Then I'll worry about you, too!" The tiger girl frowned and said very seriously.
Lin Haoran pinched her little nose, and said with a smile: "Don't forget, my brother is Xie Yuan now, and the general magistrate has to let you be an official, and there is not Ah Qi to follow!" ”
"Then let Wu Daoxing follow you!" The tiger girl moved smartly and said again.
"That's a burden!" Lin Haoran said speechlessly.
"Indeed it is!" Tiger Niu sighed and nodded approvingly.
Perhaps knowing that they were about to part, the two of them did not rush back in a hurry, but walked slowly on the somewhat cool street.
"Zhao Dongcheng won't go to the exam this time, if you encounter any trouble in the future, you can ask him for help! Your brother will also contact some people these days and ask them to take care of you, and they can help you in the future! Lin Haoran reached the little hand of the tiger girl and began to tell her one by one.
"Good!" The tiger girl nodded vigorously, enjoying the taste of being cared for.
It's not all Lin Haoran's arrangement and teaching to the tiger girl, the two are still chatting about the future, planning the future, and working hard to make their family better.
