Chapter 406

Firecrackers rang out in other places, which seems to have got good news.

The boy who looked at the list kept shouting from the door. When he came to the hall, he knelt down to Du Yunhan and said, "master, young master is in high school. He is the ninth and childe Zhang is the 28th. The top 16 will take part in the palace examination ten days later!"

"Great, great!" Xie Yu said excitedly.

"Congratulations, brother Zhang Rui!" Du Xiaoli smiled and congratulated them.

"Ha ha, OK! Everyone in the mansion will be rewarded with ten Liang silver today, so that everyone can share the joy!" said Du Yunhan.

All the servant girls in the room saluted Du Yunhan and said in unison, "thank you, sir and madam. Congratulations, young master Zhang."

"Well, get up and clean up the house. Many people should come to the door today." Du Yunhan said.

"Yes, sir."

The servant girls and boys have gone out to work.

"I said that brother Zhang Rui and brother Zhang Rui would definitely win. I said yes!" Du Xiaoli said, "I'm so accurate. Please call me a magic stick in the future."

"Poof - you're poor!" Fu Yalan couldn't help laughing when he heard Du Xiaoli's words.

Zhang Rui was also very happy. Although he didn't enter the top 16 and couldn't participate in the palace exam and compete for the top spot, he was very happy and even surprised to achieve such a result. Before releasing the list, he thought it would be good for him to be in the top 50. The 20th place has greatly exceeded his expectation.

"According to the rules of previous years, the people on the list will be granted official positions in these two days. Zhang Rui, you should be able to get a good official position if you rank so high," Du Yunhan said.

With Du Yunhan's words, Zhang RuiRu took a reassurance, got up, bowed down to Du Yunhan and said, "thank you, uncle, for taking care of me these days. Zhang Rui will certainly remember this friendship."

"Ha ha, if only you had this heart, get up quickly." Du Yunhan said with a smile.

Fu Yalan and Du Xiuheng looked at each other, saw the joy in each other's eyes, and smiled knowingly.

Du Xiaoli glanced at them, smiled secretly, and said, "Dad, do we want to tell the good news to my sister-in-law's family? Although they will know my brother's achievements, will it be more formal and solemn to say it specially?"

"Well, I want to send someone to inform the prime minister's house of the good news. Come here." Du Yunhan called the young man to come and let him go to the prime minister's house to inform him. With an invitation letter, he invited the people of the prime minister's house to celebrate today.

His son-in-law's autumn test this year naturally attracted the attention of the cabinet, so as soon as they released the list, they also got the news. They got Du Yunhan's invitation and said they would take their family members to the banquet.

Today seems to be a tired day with good news. At the noon banquet, Fu Yalan suddenly said that she was uncomfortable and vomited when eating. At first, she thought it was a cold stomach. Du Xiaoli checked her and said excitedly, "sister-in-law, where is your cold stomach? You are going to be a mother!"

Du Xiaoli's words quieted the whole banquet, followed by a greater outbreak.

"Sister, do you mean I'm going to be a father?" Du Xiuheng, regardless of etiquette, came from the men's table to the women's table and looked at Fu Yalan excitedly.

"Yes, it's been more than a month!" Du Xiaoli said.

Looking at the joy on Du Xiuheng's face, Du Xiaoli sighed that ancient people were really precocious. This modern boy of 17 or 18 years old, where would he have the consciousness of being a father!

"Really? I'm going to be a mother!" Fu Yalan touched his stomach and said incredulously.

In fact, she had a hunch these two days that her monthly affairs were always on time. She should have come two days ago, but she never came. She had planned to let Du Xiaoli show her after the list was released. She didn't expect to have the phenomenon of pregnancy and vomiting today.

The Fu family who attended the banquet were also very happy. Today is really a double happiness!

"Yalan is pregnant and can't eat some dishes. I go to the kitchen and ask the cook to cook some dishes for pregnant women." Xie Yu said.

"Er Niang, don't bother." Fu Yalan hurriedly dissuaded.

"No trouble, it's pregnant. Some things can't be eaten. From today on, your diet should be prepared separately." Xie Yu said.

"Then let the servant girl go." Fu Yalan said, "how can I bother the second Niang to go? Isn't this killing Yalan?"

"All the people in our house are young. They don't know what they can and can't eat. I'd better go and tell them myself. Don't worry." Xie Yu said.

"Er Niang, I'll go with you." Du Xiaoli got up and left with Xie Yu.

Mrs. Fu saw that Xie Yu was so kind to Fu Yalan. She nodded with satisfaction. Her daughter married a good family, which was more lucky than her mother!

The atmosphere of the banquet was better because of this. Everyone at the men's table drank happily, and everyone at the women's table talked and laughed. There was nothing like eating and talking.

Since Fu Yalan got married, Du Xiaoli began to take care of her body from diet. Therefore, although she had some morning sickness when she was pregnant, the phenomenon was not serious, and the whole situation was relatively good.

Two days later, Zhang Rui's official decree came down. He filled the position of the left counsellor of the general secretary. The official paid homage to the fifth grade and gave it to the residence. He reported to the general secretary half a month later. Zhang Rui didn't expect that he would directly seal an official position of zhengwupin. He was a little surprised, but he thought that Du Yunhan should deal with it and be more grateful to the people of Du mansion. In fact, Du Yunhan really didn't take the initiative to mention it. Yesterday, when the emperor and Du Yunhan discussed state affairs, they talked about the official seal. The emperor took the initiative to give Zhang Ruifeng a position as the left counsellor of the general administration department. Du Yunhan was surprised when he heard that, which was very rare for a rural candidate without background. Neither he nor Zhang Rui knew that it was because Du Xiaoli kicked people in the wind and snow building that day. With his own residence, Zhang Rui moved away from the prime minister's house and sent someone to his hometown to report the good news. A few days later, Du Xiuheng went to the palace examination. Du Xiaoli thought that the palace examination was to see the emperor directly. Later, he learned that it was just an examination presided over by the Emperor himself. After the examination results came out, he chose the first three to see the emperor. Some emperors felt that they were the first prize, the second place in the list and exploring flowers on the spot. Du Xiuheng cut off the generals all the way. When Du Xiaoli was checking Fu Yalan's body, the news that Du Xiuheng became the top of the current list flew back to the house, which made everyone happy again. However, Du Xiuheng is not very satisfied with himself. He once said he would bring back a champion for Du Xiaoli. But Du Xiaoli still felt that his brother was wonderful. He used his erudition to correct his name, which was enough!
