Chapter 400 Scholar
Dou Zhongli left Qingshan County in anger and finally returned to Qingyang County.
When County Magistrate Lu learned about this, he was relieved. It was good that he had left, otherwise he would have sent someone to forcibly send him away.
Seeing that he was young, he could give him another chance and not send anyone to Qingyang County to report it and deprive him of his status as a student.
Otherwise, huh, if they tell Qingyang County, his status as a student will be revoked, and he will never have the chance to take the imperial examination in this life.
Still want a scholar?
Liangjia Village is full of joy and happiness, and the villagers are all beaming with joy!
“Hit it, hit it!”
"I knew the little prodigy would win, hahaha!"
"Me too, me too. Should I call you Scholar now?"
"Yes, yes, yes! Mr. Scholar, Mr. Scholar!"
“.”
The villagers who came to congratulate him almost broke down the door. Everyone had a smile on their face and called him "Scholar Master" and "Scholar Master" with a respectful attitude and fluently.
Xu Zhichun took a look at the tiny "master" and tried hard to hold back from laughing.
Such a big happy event happened in the village, and everyone was proud of it. Liang Lizheng smiled and said to Xu Zhichun and He Liang Minglang, "When our scholar passed the examination for the tongsheng degree, we didn't have a banquet to celebrate. This time, he passed the examination for the scholar degree. This is a huge happy event. We must hold a banquet to celebrate, right?"
Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"What the village chief said is right. It should be done."
"That's what we originally thought. If we have to do it, we have to do it. Our Mingxuan has achieved so much, shouldn't we celebrate it?"
Hearing Xu Zhichun say this, Liang Minglang couldn't help but glance sideways at her, his heart softening. He could imagine how much pressure she had to take care of Mingxuan alone after hearing the news of his death. Mingxuan also worked hard and passed the examination to become a Tongsheng. She must have felt a little proud at that time, right?
Liang Lizheng was overjoyed, nodding his head repeatedly and saying with a smile: "Okay, okay, since the date is set, just tell everyone in our village and let them help! Those who have money can contribute money, and those who have strength can contribute strength. This is also a token of everyone's kindness. Hey, don't refuse, it will also let everyone share in the joy."
After Li Zheng Liang said this, Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang couldn't refuse, so they had to agree with a smile.
The celebration banquet is scheduled for five days later.
This celebration banquet was really grand and lively. The whole village was filled with joy, and everyone participated in it as a top priority event in the entire village.
Not only did they take the initiative to help at home, but almost all of them brought money and vegetables from their own gardens. Some even caught chickens and brought eggs.
Even Chunfen's petty sister-in-law, Mrs. Xu, had her family send her two hundred coins and twenty eggs. She had recently given birth to a son, and while this was partly a gesture of hope, the gifts and money were actually given out.
Not to mention other families. Anyone who had any connection with Xu Zhichun and his group was taken.
After all, life is much better for every family in the village now, and every family has extra money in savings that can be taken out.
In addition to the ten taels of silver and two chickens that Liang Lizheng's family took from the public treasury, Zeng Xiaoyan and Liang Mingliang took an additional five taels of silver, and Liang Xiaoman himself took two taels.
Zeng Xiaojuan, Yang Ming, Yang Xiaoan and others were so grateful to Xu Zhichun that they also took ten taels of silver after discussing it with their family.
Aunt Zhu'er and her husband also took ten taels.
The other villagers, some with a few taels of silver and some with a few hundred coins, all gathered together in a lively manner to contribute their silver.
The last group of generals even shocked Xu Zhichun.
Liang Minglang was also a little surprised. "This is too much. Should we return some of it?"
Xu Zhichun thought for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "Everyone is so kind, let's make the banquet more sumptuous. If other families have important events in the future and need to give gifts, just give more."
Liang Minglang hugged her from behind and smiled: "Well, you are thoughtful. I will listen to you."
Xu Zhichun turned his head, and the two smiled at each other and kissed.
Liang Minglang reluctantly pursued her lips and kissed them for a long time. He pressed his body against hers and whispered in her ear, "After the banquet, can you marry me?"
He has been very busy and tired these days, so he can still wait a few days.
Xu Zhichun felt his ears warm and he nodded slightly, saying "hmm".
He knew everything, and besides, in everyone's opinion, they were already married, so what was there to do about divorce?
Liang Minglang urged: "Is it okay?"
Xu Zhichun nudged him with his elbow. "I said 'hmm', didn't you hear it?"
Liang Minglang laughed, "I heard it, I heard it now!"
Xu Zhichun himself laughed.
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin came in person and said that they could ask the chefs from the Lotus Restaurant and the servants from the Qin family to come over to help.
There are also various ingredients that the Qin family has ready-made. There are three mule carts and horse carts in the family. If they need them, just let them know. Don't be polite.
Xu Zhichun was overjoyed and did not refuse, but thanked him with a smile.
She was really having a headache about the ingredients. After all, there were no wholesale markets that were so large and had such a complete range of products in this era. If she wanted to hold a grand banquet, it would be very troublesome to purchase many things, and she had to buy them from many stores.
It would be much more convenient with the help of the Qin family.
Teachers from the county school and many of Liang Mingxuan’s classmates will also come, and it would be great if there was a vehicle to pick them up.
Magistrate Lu, Mr. Shao, County Magistrate Zhao, Captain Yu and others will also come, as will many local gentry, landlords, prestigious families, merchants, etc. The Qin family's servants are obviously more well-trained and experienced in dealing with people. With their help, a lot of trouble can be saved.
Xu Zhichun: "It's okay to have people helping, but how much are those ingredients worth? Please ask Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin to make a list. We can't let you suffer any loss."
Master Qin waved his hands repeatedly: "Not at all wrong, not at all wrong, our family is so happy to have this honor, haha!"
Mrs. Qin also laughed: "Yes, yes, Mrs. Xu, you don't have to be so polite!"
"That won't do," Liang Minglang shook his head. "This is too good of a bargain. We can't take it for free. Zhichun is right. We can't let you suffer any loss."
The couple had agreed that they would pay for the ingredients and give a big red envelope to each of the Qin family's cooks, waiters, and servants when the banquet was over.
Afterwards, they prepared a generous gift and went to the Qin family together to express their gratitude.
The Qin family was willing to help and really solved a lot of tedious and trivial things for them, so they deserve gratitude.
Mr. Qin and Mrs. Qin had no choice but to agree with a smile.
On the day of the banquet, the whole village was bustling with people and became even more lively.
Guests came one after another, including many relatives and friends, or even people who were not sure whether they were relatives or friends.
