Magistrate Zheng said: "The ninth day of June is the college examination. Gu Jinan and this batch of candidates are related to the honor of our entire Tianfu County. After they return to the village, you have to block the people from the ten miles and eight villages for them. Don't let those people disturb them." It affects their studies. If it affects Gu Jinan and his friends' studies and ruins their college entrance examination results, I will take issue with you!"

With a plop, Village Chief He knelt down again in fright: "Yes, yes, the common people obey your orders and will not let the village shrews disturb An Ge'er and his friends from studying."

When Magistrate Zheng saw that Village Chief He was so cowardly, he couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "I heard that you have prepared a lot of chickens, ducks, and pigs, and are preparing to set up running water mats?"

Village Chief He nodded, yes, it was not easy to get a government case leader. Of course, their village was going to do something big, and the money for purchasing the running water mat was all provided by the village, but it was very generous and there was no digging around at all.

However, Magistrate Zheng said again: "Don't do it now. Wait until Gu Jinan and the others are admitted to the scholar examination. Now they only focus on studying and preparing for the college examination."

ah?

No more!

What about the chickens, ducks and pigs he bought? One by one they were screaming in the village, waiting for the head of the government to go back and kill them and stew them to eat.

But Village Chief He was kneeling before an official. He was so afraid of County Magistrate Zheng that he didn't dare to speak at all. He could only nod his head and say, "Yes, the common people obey."

County Magistrate Zheng saw that Village Chief He was extremely scared and did not embarrass him any more. He looked down at the official document and said, "Okay, it's okay. You can go back."

Master Zheng made a gesture of invitation and sent Village Chief He out of the house.

Village Chief He didn't know how he came out. His legs were still shaking. When he saw Gu Jinan, he almost cried: "Brother An, I'm sorry, the village chief's grandpa almost hurt you."

The magistrate is right. If there are too many people here, things can easily get into trouble. If those people overturn the mule cart, several of the Gu family will be injured as well.

Looking around, there are still many people gathered around Gu Jinan to watch the fun. If the government officials hadn't stopped him, those people would have rushed over and touched Gu Jinan's head.

Today, Gu Jinan is a lucky baby. Touching his head can bring blessings to the whole family.

Gu Jinan smiled, supported Village Chief He and said, "Village Chief, what are you talking about? I'm very well and you didn't harm me."

Then he looked at the more and more people gathering around and said, "You should go back with your people first. I will go to the escort office to pick up my parents. We will return to the village later."

If he went back at this time, he could guarantee that they would be stuck on the road and unable to return home even after dark.

Village Chief He remembered County Magistrate Zheng's instructions and nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go back first and clear the way for your family."

The people who were watching the excitement not far away were extremely anxious when they heard that they were leaving. A woman holding a child said to Gu Jinan: "Master, don't leave. Please touch my baby's head quickly and let him grow up." When I grow up, I will be admitted as a case officer and become a high official!"

As soon as these words came out, it exploded, and all the people shouted: "Don't leave, touch my son too."

"I want to touch my house too!"

Gu Jinan: "..."

Am I going to have a bald head?

He cupped his hands in front of the big guy and said: "Dear fellow villagers, Gu Jin'an has been ordered by the county magistrate to concentrate on studying and scratch his head. We will wait until Gu is admitted to the scholar's examination. Farewell!"

Saying that, he took Brother Cheng's hand and hurriedly slipped back to the county government office.

Qi Kangming, Gu Dexing, and Xu Zhaoming were also frightened when they saw this, and hurriedly followed them into the county government office, intending to leave through the back door of the county government office.

Luo Wu led the government officials to stop those who wanted to rush over and chase Gu Jinan: "Everyone, stop. Don't break into the important county government area. Anyone who disobeys the order will be thrown into jail!"

Luo Wu had been a shift leader for three years, and his family had opened an escort agency in the county. Therefore, the people in the county were quite afraid of him. After hearing this, they did not dare to pursue him.

However, there was still a woman who was unwilling to give up and shouted: "Luo Pantou, I heard that the chief clerk of the government is your brother-in-law. Then my family has made an agreement with you first. After the chief clerk of the government is admitted as a scholar, he will let my son touch it." His head!"

"My baby wants to be touched too."

"Luo Pantou, I want to touch it too, I want to touch it too!"

Luo Wu looked at the person who spoke, "You are already in your thirties and you still want to touch Xiu Caigong's head to get good luck. How shameless are you?"

He ignored them and asked the government officials to guard the gate of the county government office, then turned and ran into the county government office, caught up with Gu Jinan and the others, took them to the back door of the county government office, and left through the back door.

At the gate of the county government, the people were still making a fuss. When County Magistrate Zheng heard about this, he smiled: "Gu Jin'an has escaped. I think when I was admitted to the imperial examination and returned to my hometown, I was touched." My hair is all messed up."

I don’t know where this custom came from, but everyone just thinks that touching the heads of those who have passed the imperial examination can bring good luck to their families.

In Xu's shop, Mr. Xu, after talking a lot of gossip, finally said to Gu Dashan: "Da Shan, Brother An is almost twenty. I heard from my brother Ming that we haven't said goodbye yet, so that's not okay. Ah, the boss and the young man, how can we get married if we don't talk about it? We don't have to make people laugh."

Gu Dashan's heart skipped a beat. Brother An was indeed right. Someone would definitely talk about his marriage when he returned home.

"I'm almost twenty, but Brother An has sworn an oath to marry only those who have passed the examination." Gu Dashan said what Gu Jin'an told him: "Those who have made an oath must not keep it, otherwise It just offends God.”

After hearing this, Mr. Xu almost choked to death. Gu Dashan actually brought God out as an excuse.

But people in Da Chu believed this, and generally did not dare to break their oaths as long as they had made an oath. Mr. Xu could only smile dryly and said: "Establish a career first and then a family. Brother An is an ambitious person."

but……

"Although we have made a vow, it does not prevent us from finalizing the marriage first. It is also feasible to finalize the marriage first, and then officially get engaged after An Ge'er is admitted to the Juren Examination."

It has to be said that Mr. Xu is an old fox. Even if Gu Jinan swears an oath, he can still find other excuses to persuade Gu Dashan.

Gu Dashan was stunned, holding the teacup, shaking his head and said: "Brother An said that he doesn't want to get engaged too early. If he is admitted to the imperial examination, he wants to travel for two years to see the world, and then pass the imperial examination and do a lot of work. Officials start a family."

What? After passing the Juren exam, you have to travel, and after traveling, you can take the Jinshi exam. Only after passing the exam can you get married?

By the time all these things are done, Gu Jinan will be old!

Mr. Xu was angry, looked at Gu Dashan, and said earnestly: "Da Shan, I heard that you and your wife love your children very much, but no matter how much you love your children, you can't do it this way. When you are old, you should get married first. If you don't get married, you will be messing around. What's the point of running away?"

Gu Dashan has a stupid mouth. When faced with Mr. Xu's words, he didn't know how to reply, but he remembered Gu Jinan's explanation and refused to let go.

When Mr. Xu saw this, he was about to say something more, but his second son came over and said something in his ear, which made him so angry.

It turns out that the previous commotion was really something.

How dare this girl Xu Ling ruin his affairs? This is a major event that affects the honor and disgrace of the entire Xu family for the next two generations!

Mr. Xu was furious and wanted to scold Xu Ling right now.
