Chapter 523 Three Scholars from the Shangguan Family
A group of people unknowingly walked to a large courtyard in the backyard. There was a big plaque hanging on the moon gate: Jingui Gate.
As soon as I thought about it, I knew that this was the main courtyard of the mistress of the house.
My aunt also said that this is a five-entry courtyard, which is the largest courtyard in the whole house.
"If we don't join those men later, we women will eat in my courtyard. We can chat and eat together, and the children can also play in the garden behind."
He led them to the main hall of the front yard and asked Grandma Yan to sit on the upper left side. Chu Chu sat next to Grandma, and Zimo and Qiuli stood behind them.
After the uncle sat on the upper right side, the three aunts also sat on the lower side of him.
At this time, I saw three maids holding trays and standing behind the three aunts. Then the three aunts gave Chu Chu rituals in turn. The eldest uncle gave Chu Chu a full set of gold headbands with a crown inlaid on it. The ruby is as thick as a pigeon's egg, and there are several other gems on both sides, which are not much smaller.
The weight and size of that noodle don't look like it was worn by children at all. I'm afraid the hardware that wealthy families prepare for getting married is not that heavy. If you put it on, Chu Chu's neck would be bent.
Chu Chu looked at it in a daze. This was too wealthy. Could it be that he wanted to pay her back the 20,000 kilograms of grain?
Grandma was also shocked: "Uncle, how can this be a casual gift? Don't you want to add makeup to Chu Chu so early? This is too expensive, just give it to children to wear and play with." "
But there was no other way. The elder gave him the gift and resisted for a while. Finally, Grandma Yan motioned for Chu Chu to accept it.
The second uncle and the third uncle were not to be outdone, but they did not go beyond the big ones. One gave a warm jade Ruyi, and the other a red agate ornament, both of which were expensive.
The three aunts also gave each of the three uncles a gift, which looked no lighter than the three aunts' gifts.
There were a lot of gifts for Grandma Yan, and one family gave them the same thing. One was a jasper bracelet worn by the old man, another was a rosewood cane, and another was a set of purple-blue pearl headbands.
The extremely noble Duan Inkstone and the relatively rare Four Treasures of the Study were said to be given by Grandma Yan to her in-laws' grandfather.
In addition, there are many gifts, some for my sister, brother-in-law, nephews and sons-in-law, some for grandma’s grandsons, and some for Chu Chu’s two brothers and Xiaobao. There are two large carts of Jiangnan silk and satin alone. He said that he would send it to the house over there for them later.
I just heard that Xiyue was pregnant, and my three aunts also said that they would prepare a gift for their grandson later and deliver it to them personally in two days.
Grandma Yan was speechless: "Why are we here to recognize our relatives? We are obviously here to rob."
Made everyone laugh.
Several aunts and uncles said some more polite words, which they couldn't refuse. After saying that, they asked the maid and mother-in-law who were following them to send a message outside, so that their sons, daughters-in-law, and grandchildren could come in to see the gifts.
Grandma Yan had never seen these scenes before, but Chu Chu looked at this round and round, feeling a bit like being summoned by the queen when entering the palace for a palace banquet.
Fortunately, Chu Chu knew that she would meet people from the Shangguan family before going out. The old lady and Li Yan specially invited the fourth aunt to come over, check out all the people in the Shangguan family, and also prepared the corresponding gifts for Grandma Yan. Now I can only take out more and not less.
It's just that there are no old people in Shangguan's family. Except for the gifts he prepared for his grandchildren, most of them are bags containing gold melon seeds and silver ingots, all in the fashionable style of the capital, so it's not a shame.
The Shangguan family has a great business and many children and grandchildren. Although the people who came in to see the ceremony were all legitimate sons, legitimate daughters, legitimate daughters-in-law, and legitimate grandchildren, and they all came in in batches, and they walked seven or eight times before they were finished.
After everyone had seen the ceremony, Shangguan Zhi specially called in three more people. The three scholars were evenly divided, one for each room in the third room. They were all people who had just come in to see the ceremony. They all seemed to be gentle scholars.
"The eldest is called Yunting. He is the eldest son of my house. He is eighty-eight years old. He is a failure. He has not been able to succeed after several exams. It seems that there is no way to expect him to shine on the family lintel. "
The uncle was really sad when he said that. He hated him for not living up to his expectations. Shangguan Yunting was also embarrassed to stand beside him.
"Shangguan Yunying is already thirty-one, and her score in the last exam was only a dozen places behind. Alas, at least the last one in the rankings was good, but it still doesn't live up to expectations!"
The second uncle's face across from him didn't look too good either. This was her son, and the second uncle looked a little disappointed.
Hearing what Chu Chu said, she looked at the three people across from her with a somewhat elegant temperament. However, unless they were very top-notch in the scientific examination, they would sometimes have to rely on luck to fail. Some people's results were not too bad, but even if they passed the examination Even at fifty years old, you can't win.
Knowing that the three aunts pushed out the three scholars, they must have hoped to be able to help. This is probably why they actively donated food.
But Chu Chu is also a little depressed. Mr. Lan Chuan is so knowledgeable and famous, why doesn't he help?
Or is it really impossible to help him up? It’s no wonder that the Shangguan family came up with the idea of donating officials, but they probably couldn’t count on it, right?
Another one who was said to be only eighteen years old was named Shangguan Yunjing. His delicate features and delicate features were similar to those of the fourth aunt, and he did not appear to be a pedantic person.
Chu Chu secretly thought: How come such a smart person doesn't have good luck?
While thinking about it, he looked at the three scholars carefully, looking very sophisticated.
Grandma Yan didn't know what to say. Depending on Brother Jue's intentions, the government would definitely have something to say for donating so much food. She didn't know exactly how much money could be donated, so she promised that she wouldn't dare to give randomly.
"These two cousins will continue to die next year!"
After the introduction, no one spoke. The three scholars also stood respectfully behind their mother, not daring to say anything but looking forward to it.
Chu Chu suddenly said something incomprehensible, which shocked both Grandma Yan and Zimo.
The others didn't understand why, and the three scholars couldn't help but say nothing. They quickly handed over their hands and said, "I will win again no matter what."
Shangguan Zhi also said beside him: "After reading so many books, I have reached this point. How can I not work hard for the future of the family? Gu is planning to end all three of them next year."
Then he typed a few words: "I will go to the county school in a few days and study hard."
All three people bowed politely and said, "I understand."
