Tongxian Gong Mansion.

It is a scene of flowers.

The guests at the door of the mansion were like clouds, and those who were greeted by the high-ranking officials and nobles in the provincial capital.

Menbin, wearing big red clothes, stood at the door and sang loudly: "Mr. Zuo, the left governor of Fujian, gave the green jade lion!"

"The deputy envoy of the Fujian Censorate, the Qing army's Dao, sent a pair of Yuruyi, a name for the name of Shou!"

"Mr. Chen, the governor of Fuzhou, send a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and a side of Shoushi!"

Gong Yongqing, the former priest of the Imperial College in Nanjing, congratulated him under the eaves of the second hall.

"The Censor Chen is here!"

An official with a smile on his face came over and bowed to Gong Yongqing, "Mr. Gong, this time I come, I want to ask you for a bowl of water and wine."

Gong Yongqing smiled and said, "Brother, what's the matter? It's not too late to be happy if you can come. How can you feel wronged about your little wine? Please come in and ask me."

The official bowed with a smile.

In the room beside, Mrs. Gong lifted the curtain and looked at the lively atmosphere in the outer hall. The maid on the side said to her: "Madam, even Mr. Chen, the governor of Fuzhou, is here."

"Madam, that's not Chen Jingshi, who is known as the Qingtian."

"Madam, look, isn't this Master Ma from Yandao? This time he gave a lot of gifts!"

The more the maid said, the more happy Mrs. Gong’s face became.

At this time, the guest's voice suddenly rose a little, and he shouted loudly: "Mr. Liu, the governor of Fujian, gave him a pair of congratulatory couplets and a pair of Hetian jade!"

The maid was even more excited when she heard this: "Madam, even the governor has sent gifts to congratulate you."

Mrs. Gong scolded: "Don't I know yet? I still need you to say that? After following me for so many years, I still have no prospects!"

The maid owed her body and said, "Madam, what I have taught me is the lesson."

Mrs. Gong took a sip of tea and asked, "Young Master, haven't you been to hire someone? Why haven't you come back yet?"

"Maybe something was delayed on the road! Should Quanfu go and search on the road?"

Mrs. Gong frowned and said, "As for such a big man, there is nothing to do. I told Quanfu to go and see where the young master is. I can't even invite someone."

The maid whispered, "Madam, don't be impatient. The master said that Jie Yuanlang was preparing for the examination, so he would not come."

"I'm impatient? Who said I'm impatient? Humph. At worst, it's embarrassing. Half of the guests in the family celebrate their birthdays, and half of them are not sure if they come to see Jie Yuanlang," Mrs. Gong snorted, "Didn't you win a Jie Yuan? She even showed me a trick, really thinking that my daughter can't get married?"

Mrs. Gong was drinking tea in disgustingly and waited for a while, but when she saw Quanfu, a servant here, ran over and said happily: "Madam, Madam, the young master is back!"

Mrs. Gong nodded and asked, "He's the only one?"

"Not only, there is a young young man!"

The smile on Mrs. Gong's face suddenly floated.

"Congratulations to Madam!"

Mrs. Gong scolded: "What are you going, go, and tell the lady that when the master invites Jie Yuanlang to the Yatang, let her come up to celebrate the birthday of the master. Remember to let her wear the pair of Burmese jade earrings at that time, she looks good!"

"Yes, madam!" The maid stepped back.

But when Mrs. Gong was happy to move her eyebrows, she walked around the house, and saw the maids around her, she couldn't help but scolded: "What are you waiting for? Get off!"

"yes."

Mrs. Gong's face was full of smiles. At the same time, the prefect, the county magistrate, the censor and other adults in the second hall asked Gong Yongqing, "Didn't you hear that Jie Yuanlang is coming?"

"Why haven't you seen it yet?" Gong Yongqing reluctantly explained: "Maybe it's because he is preparing to go to Beijing for the exam, so he won't come."

"Master Jijiu is the Emperor Wenzong of this mansion, so it is necessary to come to Jie Yuanlang for an examination." The officials were a little disappointed when they heard this.

‘But since I have agreed to come, I suddenly failed to make an appointment. This is too rude!’

While talking, the official said, "Now Master Lin, the lieutenant, is here!"

Gong Yongqing stroked his beard and smiled, "Ha, Jie Yuanlang is here!"

Everyone said together: "Today's wine sacrifice, I will celebrate my longevity. Jie Yuanlang will visit you!"

When Gong Yongqing heard Lin Yanchao come, he said with no stingy praise: "Seeing laughter. Before Wang Fengzhou returned to Beijing, he praised Jie Yuanlang with me as a genius who was not seen in the Ming Dynasty in a century. When I am old, I may be behind this young man."

A magistrate said: "I heard that Jie Yuanlang was not yet in his prime and was the leader of the provincial examination. He was young and so arrogant. He really made us ashamed of the senior who had been suffering for decades before he received a village clerk."

Chen Jingshi said: "In the past century, there are always a few people's talents, which are granted by heaven. This is a sign of prosperity for our country. It cannot be compared or compared."

‘It’s a pity that I have no chance to meet Jie Yuanlang until now.’

One person said, "I have never seen it before."

Gong Yongqing smiled and said, "Isn't Jie Yuanlang here now? I just happened to see you!"

“That’s right!”

"I should see this young man."

As they said that, everyone got up and went to the second hall, but saw a young man walking slowly. After seeing everyone, they said, "How dare you ask the seniors to come and greet them in person."

An official smiled and said, "Why can't you afford to take responsibility for the new Jie Yuan? This is also the meaning of a generous scholar in the court."

Lin Yanchao said to Gong Yongqing: "Late-born Lin Yanchao celebrates his birthday with a birthday. His blessings are as good as the flowing water in the East China Sea, and his life is as long as the pine trees in the South Mountains!"

Listening to Lin Yanchao's words, Gong Yongqing laughed and said, "Thank you Jie Yuanlang for Ji's words."

All the officials praised Lin Yanchao for being young but his manners were steady.

‘Today's birthday, I will bring a little gift to you later. If you are not careful, please don't be surprised if you offer wine.’

Gong Yongqing smiled and said, "It's good that Jie Yuanlang is here, so be polite."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said, "It was prepared by the Xia Neizi. He said that priests are people with both blessings and longevity, so he embroidered ten thousand-character brocade to priests."

‘Inner son?’ Gong Yongqing couldn’t help but frown.

The officials who didn't know the truth all smiled and said, "It turns out that Jie Yuanlang is already married at a young age."

‘Yes, I originally wanted to talk to you about my dearity.’

‘I don’t know which girl from the family is so lucky to be Jie Yuanlang’s official wife?’

‘This official knows a little about it, it seems that he is the bride-raising family!’

Lin Yanchao quickly said in shame: "That's right, it made several seniors laugh."

As soon as Lin Yanchao finished speaking, Mrs. Gong in the room next to her was dizzy when she heard this sentence. After thinking hard for so long, her wishful son-in-law in her mind actually confessed that she had a wife in front of the nobles in the city. Isn’t this slapping herself in the face in front of her family?

‘It’s unreasonable, it’s unreasonable. This is simply too deceptive. I’m blind!’ Mrs. Gong was angry and angry. She suddenly felt that her eyes were dark and she fell straight down.

'lady!'

'lady!'

‘Not good, Madam fainted!’

‘Call the doctor quickly!’

The maids were in a mess. (To be continued.)
