Chapter 477 Hedong in 3 years, Hexi in 3 years
Even the tribe leader was moved with sympathy. He sighed and said, "Why don't you take Xiao Niu with you? Although this kid is not very smart, he has a stubborn personality. He has a good heart and will be absolutely loyal in the future."
Chief Jiang had a deep impression of Xiao Niu. This kid's father was also stubborn and had a bad temper, but his character was absolutely good, although he was a little stubborn.
Jiang Youzhen sighed, "I feel that your mother is alone and helpless, so I don't want to separate you and your son. Do you mean that if I want to take you to the capital, I have to take your mother with me? That won't do!"
In fact, Xiao Niu is a suitable candidate. The other children have family ties and are bound to have selfish motives.
The calf has only one mother, and his mother is his weak spot, easy to control. As long as he treats his mother well, the calf will have nothing to worry about.
But this is a member of the tribe, Jiang Youzhen didn't want to be so calculating. Now that Xiao Niu brought it up himself, she felt that this boy would fight for himself, and he was not too dull, but still had some smartness.
"No need for Uncle Sixteen to support me. After I go to the capital, I will find a way to support my mother." He knelt in front of Jiang Youzhen, refusing to give an inch.
He was not stupid and knew this was an opportunity. Although he was afraid, he could not back down.
"Get up!" Jiang Youzhen glanced at him, then turned to the clan leader and said, "It's him!"
"Okay!" The patriarch glanced at his great-grandson and couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"Starting tomorrow, come to my house and get your clothes tailored first, then learn some rules from Qing Lang and the others."
Jiang Youzhen left after he finished speaking, leaving Jiang Zhizhou and Jiang Xiaoniu's families extremely happy. The rest of the clan members were regretting and were envious and jealous of the two families.
Especially Jiang Xiaoniu's family, it was clear that Jiang Youzhen had not intended to choose him before, but later changed his mind because of Jiang Xiaoniu's initiative.
"Chief! Since Jiang Xiaoniu's family is going to the capital to enjoy a good life, then his family doesn't need any support from the clan, right? We shouldn't give them any food or land." Some members of the clan were so angry that they sneered.
"Yes! A dog that bites doesn't bark, and you can't tell it on weekdays!"
"If he hadn't begged on his knees, Shiliulang would have definitely chosen my Goudan. How smart is my Goudan? If he had followed me to the capital in the future, our family would have surely become prosperous."
Seeing that everyone was very dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaoniu and his mother, the clan leader asked the two of them to go back first, and he stayed to appease them.
"It's Shiliulang's own decision who to choose. She has the right mind, and whoever she chooses is the one she gets."
Even his own Jiawang was not chosen! He was not angry, these people were just jealous.
But he had also misjudged Xiao Niu on weekdays. Xiao Niu was not stupid, but just a little bit shy! He was a man who usually didn't dare to say a word, but this time he was willing to go all out. It showed that he hadn't been pushed to that point.
"If you have the ability, you can knock yourself down like this. If you can't do it, don't say anything." The patriarch pointed at the blood-stained blue bricks on the ground, and everyone fell silent.
This kid really gave it his all and was very determined.
As soon as Jiang Youzhen returned home, he saw all his classmates had arrived. Wen Ruyu came forward to congratulate Jiang Youzhen.
"Junior brother, the number one person in the Jiang family!"
Jiang Youzhen rolled his eyes at him, "Even my senior brother is teasing me."
"Hahaha! That's the truth, how can it be a joke?"
Jiang Youzhen exchanged a few words with the other party and then started socializing with other classmates.
When he saw Master Jiang coming, Jiang Youzhen hurried to greet him.
"Master!"
"Okay, okay! I thought you and Wen Ruyu would definitely pass the imperial examination. You really lived up to everyone's expectations and even passed the imperial examination. I was right about you."
Mr. Jiang looked at Jiang Youzhen, who was as tall as him, and felt a lot of emotions in his heart.
When Chief Jiang sent Jiang Youzhen to him, he told him that Jiang Youzhen had a very high talent for studying. He did not expect that Jiang Youzhen would pass the imperial examination so quickly. It has been less than three years!
Chief Jiang got what he wanted. Jiang Youzhen will definitely win the title of Jinshi next year! He has a good chance of even winning the first or third place.
There is nothing more gratifying than seeing the younger generation doing well. The Jiang family is about to become prosperous.
After personally pouring tea for Master Jiang, he heard Qing Lang report that the magistrate and the county magistrate had arrived in person, so he hurried out to greet them.
"Hahaha! Jiang Jieyuan, today is an auspicious day, and I am here to congratulate you." The new county magistrate Wu Yun knew that Jiang Youzhen and Tong Huaian were good friends, so how could he dare to offend Jiang Youzhen? Naturally, he was all smiles and came to the banquet in person.
"You and the county magistrate have come to honor my humble abode with your presence. Please take a seat."
Jiang Youzhen did not dare to neglect her. After all, she was a local official, and their presence was a great honor to her. At least the villagers looked at her with more respect.
Even the county magistrate came to the banquet in person, which shows how bright Jiang Youzhen's future is.
Students such as Tong Huaian and Wen Ruyu stepped forward to pay their respects, and the two adults quickly called them over.
The people Jiang Youzhen welcomed and saw off were either officials or scholars. The villagers and clansmen looked at him with pride and envy.
"The Jiang family has become so prosperous thanks to Jiang Shiliulang. I never expected it! It's true that things change over time!"
"Isn't it? That poor little kid who couldn't even get enough food to eat and couldn't wear warm clothes has now become a juren. Look at him now, he looks like a young master. How can he still look like the pitiful kid he was back then?"
"Hey, a hero doesn't even care about his origin! Why bring up these past events? No matter what happened before, he is now a juren. The youngest juren in this dynasty is not only the first in the Jiang family. The Jiang family is really lucky. Now, if you talk about the Jiang family, who doesn't know it?"
"Have you heard? Just now, the Jiang family said that Jiang Shiliulang will donate 300 acres of land to the clan, build a new ancestral hall, and donate 200 taels of silver to the clan every year!"
"What?" Everyone was surprised. "Hey hey! How does the saying go? If one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit. The Jiang family will never starve to death thanks to the family land."
Who wouldn't be envious? When everyone in the village was hungry and cold, the Jiang family could have enough food and drink thanks to the success of the family farm.
"Humph! You haven't heard the important thing yet!" One of the villagers pointed at a half-grown boy in the Jiang family's courtyard and said, "Look who that is?"
When everyone saw him, they saw that he was wearing a half-worn round-necked cotton robe. Although the material was a bit old, not everyone could afford to wear fine cotton.
"Whose boy is this? Why does his clothes look a little big for him? Like they were altered in a hurry?" someone asked.
"Why don't you take a closer look? See who that is?"
When everyone looked closely, they immediately felt that he looked very familiar.
Suddenly, someone in the crowd asked in surprise, "This? Isn't this the fifth son of the third branch of the Jiang family? The one whose father died and whose mother was kicked out of the house, and they depended on each other for survival."
"Yes! It's him. Jiang Youzhen has taken a fancy to him and wants to take him to the capital to enjoy a good life."
