Chapter 846: Becoming Famous as a Government Official

Jiang Dahu was relieved: "You have always been a safe person, so I won't worry about it anymore. You can go back quickly."

Gu Jinan bowed to Jiang Dahu: "Junior, I will go back first. When there is a thank you banquet another day, I will invite you and my wife to eat together."

Mrs. Jiang smiled beside her and said, "Hey, we will definitely be there when the time comes. You guys should come back quickly."

I was so happy that I really got the right disciple, Wen Yuan. With An Ge'er being so promising, I wasn't afraid that Yuan Yuan would be bullied in the future.

Gu Jinan and the others left the Jiang family and rushed back to Qingfu Town in a mule cart, arriving at Shang Xiucai's home.

Shang Xiucai heard that Gu Jin'an was the head of the high school county case. Like Gu Dashan, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He patted Gu Jin'an on the shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, you've made a difference."

Then he looked at Qi Kangming and the others: "You four are not bad, especially Brother Xing, who actually got into the top five. You will definitely pass the government examination. If you study hard during this period, you might be able to pass the examination."

Gu Dexing did not expect that he could do so well in the exam. At this moment, he was very enthusiastic and nodded heavily: "I remember, I will pay attention when I go back and study hard, hoping to become a scholar in one fell swoop."

Shang Xiucai nodded and did not dare to stay at home any longer. He immediately took his wife and daughter and followed Gu Jinan and the others back to Dafeng Village.

…

Because Gu Jinan was the head of the high school county case and the only one in the county, the people from the county government rode fast horses to Dafeng Village to announce the good news. At this moment, Dafeng Village was filled with gongs and drums, and the clanging of gongs and drums. non-stop.

Village Chief He and the villagers were waiting at the entrance of the village. When he saw Gu Jinan's mule cart, he immediately shouted: "The head of the crime is back. The head of the crime in our village is back. Knock the gong louder, hurry up!"

Sawako quickly stopped the mule cart.

After Gu Jinan and the others got off the mule cart, they saluted to Village Chief He and the surrounding villagers: "Why are you and the big guys here?"

Village Chief He said: "All five of you have passed the county examination, and you are still the head of the county case in high school. That's the star of Wenqu coming to earth. Why can't we come to greet the future champion?"

Since the founding of Dafeng Village, no one has been able to pass the examination as the head of the case. How can they not pay attention to it?

Then he shouted to the villagers: "Hurry up and sing, let's welcome the criminal back to the village."

"Hey!" The villagers responded, immediately raised their voices, and sang a verse called "Ying Wenxing" in Jianghuai slang. Gu Jinan and the others couldn't understand it anyway, they only knew that the villagers sang happily.

The women in the village were singing and staring at Gu Jinan and the five of them, with green light in their eyes, as if the five of them were their own sons-in-law, nieces-in-law, and nephews-in-law.

Gu Jinan was not afraid of them and let them stare at him.

Gu Dexing was very scared. He felt like he was meat on the chopping board and would be torn apart by these women at any time.

After knocking all the way to the end of the village, several families were already waiting at the end of the village. Seeing them coming back, Luo Huiniang hurriedly shouted: "It's Uncle Dashan and Brother Jin'an who are back!"

When the third grandmother heard this, she hurriedly said: "Quickly, bring the red satin and flowers and tie them up."

It is a custom in Da Chu for students who have passed the examination to wear red silk and hairpins with flowers. The third grandmother had already prepared them and was waiting for Gu Jinan and the others to come back to put them on.

Mrs. Cui, Aunt Gu, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Yan and Mrs. Yan immediately took out the red silk and withered flowers. Gu Jinan and the others immediately put them on their heads as soon as they came in sight.

Gu Jinli looked at Gu Jinan and the other five people, who were tied with red silk and wearing flowers, and almost laughed out loud. "The ancients have not deceived me. It is true that they are able to wear hairpins in high school for scientific examinations."

It's just that a group of grown men wearing flowers on their heads seems funny no matter how you look at them.

"Why are you giggling? Go back quickly and ask the group to carry out the copper coins and scatter them. Don't be picky. After getting the news, people from these ten villages will definitely come to congratulate them. They will carry out the two baskets of copper coins and scatter them. !" The third grandma said so generously that even Luo Huiniang was shocked.

She was held by Gu Jinli's hand and ran back. After running a certain distance, she said to Gu Jinli: "Xiaoyu, the third grandma has become more generous."

They have all learned to scatter copper coins like rich people. In the past, when I found a penny, I wished I could break it into three petals and spend it.

Gu Jinli smiled and said: "This is a rare happy event, let the third grandma be happy."

Now that the family is not short of this little money, let’s just give it away.

"Da Tuan, my brother and the others are back. Hurry up and take out the two baskets of copper coins and prepare to scatter the money." As soon as Gu Jinli arrived at the door, he shouted to the large group in the concierge. When he shouted these words, he felt like he was Especially arrogant.

Ah, this feeling of being rich is so great.

"Here we come!" Da Tuan and the others responded and immediately took out the copper coins.

Gu Jinan and the others also came back surrounded by the villagers.

A large group of them began to scatter money, and for a while, the front door of the Gu family was bustling with activity.

After people from ten miles and eight villages got the news, they also poured into Dafeng Village to congratulate the Gu family.

Gu Dashan, Gu Jinan, Shang Xiucai and Third Grandpa entertained the villagers who came to congratulate them.

There were also many landowners and squires who sent generous gifts to Gu Jinan after they learned that he had passed the county examination. Some even gave him a farm shop directly, but the Gu family didn't confiscate it.

Firstly, these gifts are expensive, and after you accept them, you have to protect the families who gave them. Secondly, the Gu family is not short of money. If they want a farm and a shop, her family will buy it themselves.

There were also people who wanted to recruit Gu Jinan to be their master's wife, but they were all rejected by Gu Dashan, saying that Gu Jinan would not be able to propose marriage until he passed the examination.

After hearing this, the landowners and gentry did not stop thinking. Instead, they became even more enthusiastic. They were already holding on to the girls of the right age at home, waiting for Gu Jinan to propose marriage immediately after he was elected from high school.

On this day, people came to congratulate one after another, and they were busy until dark before sending the guests away.

In the next two days, people kept coming to the Gu family to congratulate them, and they never stopped.

Gu Jinan was extremely tired, but fortunately on the third day the county magistrate sent someone to invite him, and he went to the county government office with the things he had prepared.

After arriving at the county government office, he didn't waste any time. In front of the county magistrate, he made konjac tofu, which no one in the mountains dared to eat, and made turtledove leaves into turtledove leaf tofu.

Magistrate Zheng's eyes widened when he saw these two uneaten things turned into edible food. He was not worried whether these two things would be poisonous, so he picked up his chopsticks and ate them: "It is indeed edible. ,tasty."

He looked at Gu Jinan and sighed: "You are really a lucky star. There are thousands of kinds of things in this mountain, and only your family can turn these things into food."

Then he said: "These are good things that benefit the country and the people. I want to take them to the city to show to the prefect. Do you have any objections?"

Gu Jinan shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course there is no such thing. The county magistrate can make the decision."

He was able to write down the production methods of these two things in the policy paper, which meant that he wanted to present these two things to the government.

Magistrate Zheng was very happy and said: "Don't worry, I will bring your strategy with me and I won't let you suffer."

It will definitely make him famous.

Magistrate Zheng did not delay. The next day, he took the strategies of the top three in the county examination, as well as konjac tofu and turtle dove leaf tofu to Fucheng and paid a visit to the prefect.

After reading Gu Jinan's policy statement and seeing these two fresh foods, the prefect was shocked: "What is written in the policy statement is actually true. This Gu Jinan is incredible."

Master Li was startled when he heard Gu Jinan's name outside the door. He hurriedly walked in and asked, "Sir, you are so happy. Could it be that there is a genius in our He'an Mansion?"

The prefect laughed loudly: "It's not like a genius has emerged. Mr. Li came over to take a look at this policy. It is really a good article that benefits the country and the people."
