"The dumplings are cooked, everyone eat dumplings!"
Mo Xue asked everyone to eat dumplings.
Everyone gathered in the main hall to eat dumplings. Gao Zhijun took a few pan-fried dumplings and took a bite. They were filled with pork. The gravy was so juicy that she couldn't stop eating.
Delicious, so delicious!
In order to get the copper coins in the dumplings, the men ate one in one bite, the women took three bites, and the children ate slowly.
"Ouch, I almost broke my teeth."
Suddenly, Huo Jinqian cried out in pain.
"Sixth sister-in-law, Sixth brother got a lot of money."
Huo Jinfeng jumped in front of Huo Jinqian, saw the copper coins in the dumplings and said happily to Gao Zhijun.
"The first lucky one is Jinqian. He will have all the luck for next year. He will definitely pass the Spring Examination and all the way to the Palace Examination."
Gao Zhijun also said happily.
Unexpectedly, the first person to be blessed with good luck was Huo Jinqian. She was really happy for him.
With the first luck, he will surely achieve his wish and pass the imperial examination.
"Congratulations Jinqian, you will definitely be the top scorer in high school next year!"
"Congratulations, Sixth Brother. I'm sure all your wishes will come true next year!"
"Congratulations, third brother! You will definitely get into high school next year!"
"Congratulations…………"
"Ah, I got a copper too. I'm the second lucky one."
Amidst everyone's compliments, Huo Wenzhuo's scream was suddenly heard.
"Wow, Wen Zhuo will also get his wish come true next year and pass the exam to become a Tongsheng!"
Hong Qiujue said jokingly.
"Wen Zhuozhong Tongsheng is probably the youngest Tongsheng in Daliang."
Gao Zhijun also said jokingly.
"Who is the third lucky person? Is it another member of the Huo family? Two members of the Huo family have already won, who will be this one?"
Gao Zhijun looked at everyone and said.
After listening to Gao Zhijun's words, everyone started to eat hard, hoping to be the third lucky person to get a copper coin.
As it turned out, the third one was Master Xie, which was really surprising.
The three lucky people are all scholars, which means that next year's imperial examination will be smooth sailing.
By the time everyone finished eating the dumplings, they had earned twenty copper coins.
Those who won a copper coin included the Sun family, the Huo family, the Gao family, and even Kong Meixue won a copper coin.
Of course, Gao Zhijun also made a profit.
After eating dumplings, it’s time to prepare dinner.
Today's meal is very rich, including crayfish, fish, pork and chicken.
Tonight's dinner will be cooked by Zhou Yuyi and Gao Zhijun, with Nian Shuang, Qing Shuang and Mei Shuang assisting, and Xiao Li and Xiao Cui helping out.
Tonight I'm cooking thirteen dishes: spicy crayfish, garlic crayfish, steamed fish, braised fish, pickled fish, spicy crispy pork, braised pork, twice-cooked pork, braised pork knuckle, white-cut chicken, beggar's chicken, salt-baked chicken, and a dish of seasonal vegetables. Finally, there's Maoxuewang (Chinese blood sausage) and wild mushroom chicken soup.
I was busy until 3 p.m. before I finally finished cooking these dishes.
We have opened fifteen machines, which is an excess, in case some villagers come to visit and we can ask them to stay for dinner.
Because the Grand Tutor, Tao Yuan, was here, Gao Zhijun separated the rooms into the men's side and the women's side, with a partition in the middle.
"It's time for dinner, everyone come and have a reunion dinner."
Qinglong called everyone to come and eat.
On the women's side, there were the women of the Sun family on one stage; Zhang Chan, her two daughters-in-law and five granddaughters-in-law on another stage; Gao Zhijun, her three cousins, Mo Xue and several nephews, nieces and nieces on another stage.
Kong Meixue wanted to come over, but was rejected by Gao Zhijun.
Xiaoli brought her maid with her.
Sun Meixue brought her mother-in-law, Zhidan's mother-in-law, Nianshuang, Meishuang, and Qingshuang to the stage.
Hong Qiujue brought her mother and the maid she brought with her.
The child sits on one.
On the men's side, there were Huo Jinqian, Tao Yuanzheng, Xie Taifu, Huo Jin, Huo Zhiyuan, Huo Zhicheng, Huo Zhijun, Sun Fusheng, and Sun Fushou.
Canglang, Tianlang, Polang, Qinglong, Baihu, Baichen, Mo Yu, Mo Feng, Mo Xuan and Mo Yan sat on a stage.
Two grooms, two doormen, and Luo Mingkuan and his two sons, and Ji Guansen and his two sons.
Huo Jinzhou's brothers and cousins sat at the same table.
After everyone sat down, they started to eat.
"Thank you, Master Jinqian. Magistrate Zhang brought many people with him. I didn't dare to open the village gate."
Tiezhu came over and called Gao Zhijun and Master Xie.
"Zhang Zhifu? Are the people he brought with him officers and soldiers?"
Gao Zhijun asked Tiezhu.
She thought, it couldn't be because of the refugees in the south and west of the city.
"No, they are wearing nice clothes. They must be the masters and ladies of wealthy families."
Tiezhu saw that the fabrics of those clothes should belong to the masters and mistresses of wealthy families.
"Okay, got it. Do you want to stay for dinner?"
Gao Zhijun invites Tiezhu.
"No, my family is waiting for me to come home for dinner."
Tiezhu refused.
"In that case, I won't keep you here any longer. Go back and have dinner. I'll go over and take a look now."
After Gao Zhijun finished speaking, she took Master Xie, Qinglong, Canglang, Tianlang and Polang out of the Gao Mansion and walked towards the village entrance.
Huo Jinqian was worried and followed behind.
When I arrived at the village entrance, I saw Magistrate Zhang as expected. There were many people around him, both men and women. Judging from their clothes, they were all rich or noble.
"Master Zhang, what is this for?"
Gao Zhijun asked Magistrate Zhang.
"County Lady, I'm so sorry, they all came to look for you and the Grand Tutor, so I had no choice but to bring them here."
Magistrate Zhang looked at Gao Zhijun with tears in his eyes. These were all ancestors, ancestors that could not be offended.
He was having a reunion dinner with his family in the backyard of the government office, but he didn't expect so many ancestors to come, none of whom could be offended.
He was so frightened that he almost died. But when he knew that they were here to see Master Xie and the County Lady, he felt relieved and brought them here without stopping.
Gao Zhijun was talking to Magistrate Zhang and did not notice that a noble lady outside the village was looking at her with greedy eyes and her hands were shaking.
When Master Xie saw people from outside the village, his eyes were full of smiles.
When Canglang, Tianlang and Polang saw the newcomers, they were shocked: How could they appear here?
