Rise From the Humble

  Chapter 322 Your happy news

   "Good news for the exam, congratulations to your young master who won the first place in Enke High School."

The sun is warm and the years are quiet. The servants who announced the good news repeated the words of the good news again. The words were clearly pronounced and the voice was loud. The sound of the good news spread to every corner of the birthday banquet scene in the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion and reached everyone's ears. middle.

  The sound of the good news was like thunder, and it exploded in the air of the birthday banquet.

  The second-generation ancestors at Fatty Zhou's table were so bombarded that they couldn't straighten their tongues when they spoke, and their voices were trembling.

  How could they not be amazed? !

   It turned out that Fatty Zhou was the object of their habit of ridiculing. He was not as talented as he was, and his skills were not as good as them. But in a blink of an eye, Fatty Zhou not only passed the exam, but also became the first member of the club. This is the first time this has happened in the whole circle of nobles in Ming Dynasty. After the Tumu Fortress change, the Xungui Family's right to speak has been greatly reduced, and the power of the civil servants has begun to expand rapidly, and the Xungui Family has also begun to lean towards the civil servants. Someone passed the Huiyuan exam!

   Now, someone broke the deadlock, it was him, Li Yanzhou, the honorable pride!

  Li Yanzhou, that is, Fatty Zhou passed the Huiyuan exam, and this influence is much stronger than that of Xu Laosan of Wei Guogong's family! Thirty-eight is far from Huiyuan. This is the gap between quantitative change and qualitative change.

   The second-generation ancestors at Fatty Zhou's table almost all looked up at Fatty Zhou.

   "Fatty Zhou, no, brother Li, you are really hiding something."

   "Brother Li, you are too powerful. If you don't make a name, you will be a blockbuster. Xu Laosan is only thirty-eight. You, Brother Li, are Huiyuan, number one."

   "Brother Li, you need to take care of my brothers in the future. Among other things, I will count on my brothers for drinking flower wine and playing courtesans from now on."

  The second-generation ancestors who originally ridiculed and laughed at Fatty Zhou changed their tone unanimously and congratulated Fatty Zhou. At this moment, Fatty Zhou's status in their hearts gradually rose. Just now they were still congratulating Mr. Xu for surrounding Duke Wei's mansion, but at this moment they all put aside Mr. Xu and congratulated Fatty Zhou for surrounding him.

  Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.

  Xu Penghui, who came in thirty-eighth in the general examination, came to Huaihou Mansion to stimulate Fatty next week, and "shared" this good news with everyone by the way. Everything was fine at first, so Fatty Zhou couldn't be more irritated. However, who knew that in the blink of an eye, the whole plot underwent a subversive change.

  Why did I provoke Fatty Zhou just now? Brother Zhou’s happy news has come.

   It’s a good thing for Nima, the most unlikely thing happened, the good news came, not only came, but also the good news that Nima is the first Huiyuan.

   In the blink of an eye, Fatty Zhou changed from a failed student to a member.

  The expression on Xu Pengju's face froze. His behavior of provoking Fatty Zhou just now, now it seems that in front of Huiyuan, isn't it just a big clown look.

  The good news came too suddenly, which caught Fatty Zhou a little off guard. This surprise came too suddenly. I wanted a green leaf, but you gave me a whole forest. Under the joy, Fatty Zhou was stunned, and he only came back to his senses after being congratulated by those second generation ancestors who moved his fat face.

  surprise, excitement

  After Fatty Zhou came back to his senses, he could hardly suppress the ecstasy in his heart. Is this **** real?

"Cough cough, brother Xu, brother's good news is here." Fatty Zhou coughed, tried hard to suppress the surprise in his heart, piled the fat on his face into a calm expression, and in a calm tone, looked Follow Xu Laosan and said.

  Hehe, Xu Laosan, weren’t you awesome just now, and you even asked me in a weird way if the happy report has arrived? !

   Now, satisfied!

   Fatty Zhou, let alone how happy he was at this moment, he squinted his small eyes and looked at Xu Laosan, every cell in his body seemed to be shot, it was so refreshing, his heart felt so good all of a sudden.

   "Ahem, congratulations Brother Li."

  Xu Penghui said congratulations, but the smile on his face was a bit forced.

   "Happy and happy, brother Xu's thirty-eighth place is also very good."

   Fatty Zhou looked at the shriveled expression of the youngest Xu, not to mention how beautiful he was, and a smile appeared on Fatty's face. When he said thirty-eight, Fatty Zhou's tone was a little stronger on purpose.

After watching Xu Laosan deflated with satisfaction, Zhou Fatty turned his small eyes to the second-generation ancestors at the same table, raised his little fat hand, blew the unnecessary dust on his nails, and then asked thoughtfully: "Just now I seem to have heard someone say that if I win Huiyuan, someone will eat Xiangxiang on the spot?"

   "Brother Li, let me pretend that my brother drank too much horse urine just now, and I will punish myself with three cups. Didn't you say that my black-maned lion is good a while ago, and I will give you that horse brother."

  After listening to Fatty Zhou's words, the second generation ancestor who just used Chixiang to mock Fatty Zhou had a smile on his face. He stepped forward, put his arms around Fatty Zhou's neck, and begged for mercy with a smile.

   "That's not good, a gentleman doesn't win people's love." Fatty Zhou became reserved, but the fat on his face was full of spirits.

   "Okay, what's wrong, BMW deserves a hero." The second generation ancestor insisted.

   "Well, I can't say no to you, I can't say no to you, so let's do as you say." Fatty Zhou shook his head, sighed in high spirits, as if he couldn't say no to you, reluctantly accepting it.

  Starting from this second generation ancestor, other people also expressed their intentions to Fatty Zhou one by one. Like the previous second generation ancestor, they all "persuaded" the fat man who wanted to reject, and successfully made Fatty Zhou reluctantly accept their wishes.

  At the scene of Linhuaihou's birthday banquet, the news of Fatty Zhou's Zhong Huiyuan at this moment was brought to a climax.

  The old lady of Linhuaihou Mansion was so happy that all the wrinkles on her face were flattened, and she couldn't hide her smile no matter what.

  When Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu heard the sound of the good news, although he looked calm on the surface, the wine glass in his hand was trembling. There was only half a glass of wine in the wine glass, but more than half was spilled.

  The ladies of the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion who had stayed in the house to avoid suspicion, all came out of the house excitedly at this moment, all of them blushing with excitement.

   Li Shu also came out, looking at the excited old lady and the others, she also had a smile on her face, but the smile had a deep meaning, like a little fox.

   "Reward!" The old lady of Linhuai Hou trembled before saying this word, and then added, "Great reward."

   There had been someone in charge a long time ago, and as soon as the old lady finished speaking, she gave three ingots of silver the size of a palm, and each of the messengers who announced the good news gave one ingot. Ten taels of silver per person, the officer who announced the good news held the silver in his hand, and was very happy. What those people at the intersection just said are really accurate, the money given by the mansion is really generous.

   Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of firecrackers in Linhuaihou's mansion, and the clatter of thunderbolts, which was much louder than that in Wei Guogong's mansion just now, and it lasted much longer.

  After the firecrackers went off, the messenger who announced the good news handed over the good news with both hands.

   Let the person concerned come to receive the good news. Everyone at the Hou Mansion's birthday banquet gave up this exciting moment to the person concerned, this time Fatty Zhou.

   Fatty Zhou tried his best to control his excitement, and stretched out his fat hand to take the rolled up red announcements. Under the envious eyes of everyone, he slowly unfolded the announcements and focused his attention on the announcements.

Then

   Then the smile on the fat man's face instantly withered, as if he was constipated, and his squinted eyes instantly widened.

  At the same time, the hands holding the happy announcement trembled.

  However, in the eyes of everyone, Fatty's reaction was normal, excited, completely understandable, this is Huiyuan. Ten years in the cold window, no one asked, he became famous all over the world in one fell swoop, and seeing his name associated with Enke Huiyuan in the examination, the excitement of the fat man was quite normal.

   It's just that the fat man was too excited this week, and the time has been too long, and why is his face deformed?

  In the eyes of everyone, Fatty Zhou finally made his next move.

"Cough cough, brother-in-law, fifth brother-in-law." Fatty Zhou took a deep breath, raised his fat face, and looked towards the corner of the birthday banquet. There was still a withered smile on his face, but the voice in his mouth was like a mourning concubine. .

Hearing Fatty Zhou's shout, Zhu Pingan put down the teacup in his hand and stood up. It seemed that this cup of tea could not be drunk anymore. When the annunciator came to the Hou's mansion, Zhu Pingan knew it in his heart This good news should probably be his own. However, everyone in the Hou Mansion was so excited that they fenced Fatty Zhou and the good news officer, and then there was a burst of noise and crackling firecrackers.

   Zhu Pingan tried his best several times, but couldn't get close to the person who announced the good news. He even yelled a few times, but was drowned in the firecrackers and noise, to no avail.

  I couldn’t even see the surrounding scene, and my mouth was dry, so I had no choice but to go back to the table and drink a cup of tea to moisten my mouth. Who would have thought that Fatty Zhou would call himself at this time.

  Fifth brother-in-law?

  Who, why are you calling him? Didn’t the fat man pick his nose and eyes at this fifth brother-in-law just now at the table, why is he so affectionate now.

  A few days ago, I heard all kinds of unbearable versions of the five uncles in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion. What kind of bumpkins in the country are so ordinary that they look ugly, so mediocre that they can't eat soft food and so on.

   Then, everyone followed Fatty Zhou's line of sight and saw the only boy who was still holding a teacup to his mouth on a table in the corner of the birthday banquet.

   Sure enough, the appearance is ordinary, too ordinary, and looks a little simple and honest.

  Look at him, he is still stuffing tea into his mouth now, not even letting go of a cup of tea.

  However, amidst everyone's contemptuous gazes and mental activities, Zhou Fatty raised the big red news in his hand to Zhu Ping'an, with a constipated expression on his face, and the mournful voice sounded again:

   "Ahem. Brother-in-law, good news for you, fifth brother-in-law."

  Wait, what the hell?

  Fifth brother-in-law, your good news? !

  What, it means, this happy news belongs to that boy? !

   That is to say, that boy turned out to be the member of Enke this time? !

  Beside Fatty Zhou, the youngest Xu of Duke Wei’s Mansion, who had been irritated for a long time, snatched the happy news from Fatty Zhou’s hand, opened it, and the words on the good news appeared in his eyes:

   "Good news for the exam, congratulations to Zhu Pingan, Anqing Prefecture, who won the first place in Enke High School in the exam."
