Chapter 465: rich man
"I won! I won! Our young master won! We won the first place!" The servant sent by the Hou Mansion to look at the list was very surprised and shouted loudly.
Great, the young master won the first place! He wanted to hurry back to announce the good news, and he would definitely receive a generous reward.
With the voice of the young man, everyone who read the list looked at him, wanting to see which family Wen Xizhou belonged to. Don't tell me you really recognized this boy, "Isn't this from the Marquis of Wu'an? This Wen Xizhou really belongs to his family?"
"Do you know it? I haven't heard of it."
"Study is so good, it shouldn't be unknown."
"Ah, I remembered. Lord Xiaowen, the former Shaoqing of Dali Temple, Lord Xiaowen, isn't his eldest son the young master of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion? Considering his age, it's almost time for the county to try."
"Ah, Lord Xiaowen's son is already this old? Eh, when did he return to Beijing? We haven't heard of it either!"
"Who are you, and they have to tell you when they return to Beijing?"
"It turns out he is the son of Lord Xiaowen, no wonder he is so knowledgeable."
Wen Jiuxiao has been away for eight years, so naturally there are some people who don’t know him, so they ask other people, “Is this Master Xiaowen you’re talking about so famous?”
"You just came to Beijing at first glance, and you don't even know Mr. Xiaowen?" He is a general, but Mr. Xiaowen is very knowledgeable. He was once the champion. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he is also good at solving cases..."
Back then, Wen Jiuxiao was a celebrity in Beijing, a benchmark among the younger generation, who couldn't say a few words about him?
So, the news that Master Xiaowen's son Wen Xizhou won the first place in the county examination spread like this. Like throwing a stone on a calm lake, it makes ripples.
It's just a county test leader, and they don't even look at the real dignitaries.
It can be heard how old Xizhou is? I heard that he is only fourteen this year. Youth represents hope and infinite possibilities in the future.
What's more, Wen Xizhou is the son of Wen Jiuxiao. Wen Jiuxiao overwhelmed everyone of his generation in Beijing. His son won the first place in the county examination at a young age.
Those who met Wen Xizhou were even more envious and jealous. This child looks so good, I haven't seen such a well-groomed child for many years. His father is a young champion, and he can't be worse than his father. At that time, all the way to the county examination, government examination, township examination, general examination, and palace examination will be another father-son story!
Who wouldn't want such a son? If you can't give birth, then... Hey, Wen Xizhou is only fourteen, and he has been staying with his father in Shanyun County before, so the marriage must not be settled yet.
Thus, those who had daughters of the right age at home all came up with Wen Xizhou's idea.
Because of his son, Wen Jiuxiao was once again mentioned by people in Beijing. What is this called? Although he is not in the capital, his legends are everywhere in the capital.
Some people don't understand, they say how powerful this Lord Xiaowen is. It's been out for eight years, why hasn't he come back? I have been living in that place in Shanyun County for eight years, and I haven't even been promoted to an official position. What does this mean?
Only those courtiers at the upper echelons know that, don't look at Wen Jiuxiao who hasn't moved his place or been promoted for eight years, but he has made a lot of contributions, especially he single-handedly created sailors in Shanyun County, wiped out pirates at sea, and benefited the people along the coast. This achievement is enough to earn a title. Not to mention that the population of Shanyun County has doubled, and the taxation is only a little bit worse than that of the richest Jiangnan.
I have to admit that Mr. Xiaowen is a capable minister who governs the world. Such a capable minister can do it, let alone a promotion.
The reason why he is still a county magistrate is probably because the emperor intentionally suppressed him. The emperor probably wanted to leave him for the prince.
Of course, this is just the guesswork of the adults, and even if it is a guess, no one dares to underestimate Wen Jiuxiao.
It has been April since Yu Zhi received his son's letter of good news.
Yes, two letters from home, one from father and one from mother.
This letter from Yu Zhi is obviously much thicker. It doesn't matter much, and it doesn't have gorgeous rhetoric. It's just the vernacular that the mother and son are familiar with. He teased himself, "Finally, I didn't embarrass my parents."
Yu Zhi imagined the grand scene of girls all over the capital chasing and shouting to marry her son, smiled unkindly, and glanced at Wen Jiuxiao's letter, it was just a piece of paper, not yet filled... She couldn't help but stare Move up to see Wen Jiuxiao's face.
It's a pity that Wen Jiuxiao has mastered the cultivation of Qi, but Yu Zhi didn't see emotions such as envy, jealousy, and loss. But this does not delay Yu Zhi's complacency, the son is still closer to her, anyone can see this.
"The man on Moshang is like jade, and your son is unparalleled in the world. He is my son." Yu Zhi was extremely proud, and took the initiative to pass the letter to Wen Jiuxiao, "Let's take a look, third master, your son is now the most popular son-in-law in the entire capital." ..."
Speaking of this, her face suddenly changed, "Ah, my son can marry a wife? I, I, I will be a mother-in-law?" Her seventeen-year-old Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou is fourteen this year, and she also But she's only thirty-one, so she's going to be a mother-in-law?
This is too scary!
This age is placed in her previous life, and she is probably not married yet.
Being a mother-in-law, holding grandchildren...refusing to think about it.
"Mother, my brother is going to marry me a sister-in-law? What kind of sister-in-law? Didn't he go to the capital to take an exam?" The little girl Huahua poked her head out from the door, "Also, what is a golden turtle son-in-law? ?"
"The son-in-law is not a thing, but your brother..." Ah bah, why are these words so wrong?
The little girl Huahua flashed her bright eyes, "Then my brother is not a thing?" She covered her mouth and smirked, like a little mouse who has stolen something.
Yu Zhi...
This unlucky child, seeing her, Yu Zhi, gives her a headache, "You say this in front of your brother when he comes back. It's none of your business for adults to talk, go play with your brother."
The little girl Huahua was not annoyed, she turned to her father, "Father, show me the letter from brother."
Wen Jiuxiao glanced at her, and handed her the envelope containing a piece of paper.
The little girl Huahua couldn't laugh anymore, and stomped her feet in disbelief, "Father!" This is not what she wanted.
Yu Zhi smiled, "It's all for you, take it away and read it, and read it to your brother by the way."
Seeing that her father had no intention of helping her, the little girl Huahua pouted and reluctantly took the thin letter and left. Hmph, dad has also turned bad, and actually bullied her with mother, hmph!
Wen Jiuxiao watched his daughter leave, but from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the big smile on his wife's face, and was speechless.
Such a big person is still like a child.
