"It's a sedan chair!"

"Look, look!"

"It's a sedan chair~~~!"

Among the crowd, there are people who don't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, and everyone who shouts knows that this is spread ten, ten is spread to hundreds, and soon the entrance of the county government is blocked. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qinglan gritted her teeth and endured the violent bumps, trying to make herself look as usual, but the sedan chair was so delicate that it was much more skilled than the bullfighter bull, so you couldn't guess which direction it would go in the next second.

This is what makes people in the sedan chair frightened.

Shu Lao Er in the crowd was a little anxious, it stands to reason that such a happy event is nothing to turn the sedan chair upside down, but the girl is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, and the sedan chair is obviously played at this time.

Mingyu also found out about this problem, and he wanted to squeeze forward to stop the men in the bar class, but there were too many onlookers, and those who didn't see the excitement were willing to be squeezed behind.

Shu Lao Er was tall, and he looked around anxiously, trying to find a gap to get ahead. Suddenly, at the gate of the county government opposite, he glanced at his eldest brother-in-law Zhao Bingsheng, who did not find him, but looked at his niece in the sedan chair with relish, and his expression was no different from others.

Shu Lao Er suddenly became angry, burst out with the power of father's love, and escorted his two sons to the front of the sedan chair.

"Stop!" Shu Lao Er shouted, and the men in the bar class were stunned for a moment, and subconsciously stopped the handle in their hands.

Shu Lao Er and the two children hurriedly stepped forward to check on Qinglan, the temperature in the sedan chair was very high in Futian, Qinglan had a white face, and the breakfast she had just eaten was stuck in her throat.

"Dad, I'm fine."

Shu Laoer's face was sweaty in a hurry, Qinglan swallowed the acid in her throat, and squeezed out a comforting smile, in front of the public, she didn't want to be looked down upon.

"Sister..."Mingyu held the sedan chair tightly, afraid that those people would play tricks on his sister again. Qinglan hurriedly glanced at him, she couldn't say anything now, so many people were watching!

Shu Lao Er also knew that it was not right to say anything at this time, and he would leave a handle for anything, but he couldn't watch his daughter suffer and do nothing, Qinglan helped her father's arm out of the sedan chair, and tried to make her weak footsteps more steady.

The sun outside was so poisonous, it took a while for Qinglan to get used to it, and she looked around and saw that people were whispering at her, and their eyes were not good.

Qinglan took a deep breath, this is the sadness of being a woman. She suppressed the depression in her heart, hugged her fists, bowed in all directions, and said loudly to everyone: "The little woman Shu Qinglan, who lives in the back street of the Chengnan Post Station, is fortunate to be the head of this year's case. ”

She is humble in words and deeds, hearty in temperament, and always maintains a generous and decent smile, and quickly won the favor of everyone.

"The uncles are afraid that Qinglan will not be able to sit comfortably, and they will be tired of the sedan chair, which will flatter Qinglan. Here, I would like to thank a few uncles. Qinglan said and bowed to the men in the bar class.

"It's just that Qinglan still wants to ask everyone for something," Qinglan invited Shu Lao Er to her side and introduced to everyone: "This is my father, this is my two younger brothers." ”

Someone around immediately exclaimed, "What a blessed offspring, both children and daughters." ”

"Yes, I gave birth to such a good girl!" The envy and jealousy in his voice could not be suppressed.

Qinglan smiled and nodded in thanks, and continued: "It's not easy for my father to provide us with education, the first work of this case, more than half of my father's mother, I am uncomfortable sitting alone in the center of the sedan chair, how can there be a reason for my children to sit and let my father walk?" So I want to bother my uncles and let my father sit in a sedan chair with us, otherwise this sedan chair will not be able to sit again. ”

"Filial piety, this child." As soon as Qinglan's words fell, someone immediately gave a thumbs up.

"Yes, no wonder you can take the case first, this kid is sensible." Everyone praised each other.

"Sit together!" There was a heckling in the crowd.

"The head of the little case is right, sit together!" Others chimed in.

The leading bar was a little embarrassed, and wanted to leave this place as soon as possible, he motioned to Qinglan to get on the sedan chair quickly, but Qinglan stood there and did not move, as the coaxing became more and more, he had to compromise and sighed: "Come up, all up." ”

Qinglan smiled and made a gesture of please, Shu Lao Er smiled at his daughter, and led the two sons to lead the sedan chair, what a little slippery head who refused to suffer!

The sedan chair was originally a two-seater, Qinglan held Brother He on the left, and Shu Lao Er held Mingyu on the right, waiting for the number of the sedan chair to come, Qinglan smiled secretly, didn't you bully me for being young and light, this time it's a heavyweight, you have the strength to do it again!

The men in the bar class had bitter faces one by one, although there were three children inside, the weight of the four people was really not light, and their shoulders were about to break!

All the way to the north of the city, the sedan chairs are all flat and stable, and there are no more moths.

Suddenly, Shu Lao Er saw a familiar face, he hurriedly called someone to stop the sedan chair, and the sedan chair drivers couldn't wait to rest and parked the sedan chair on the side of the road.

"Daddy." Shu Lao Er stepped forward to say hello.

Old man Shu's smiling face was like a spring mountain, he nodded at his son, and the neighbors he knew also came around to make fun.

Old Man Shu smiled silently, as if he was enjoying the feeling of the stars holding the moon very much.

The three children came out and said hello to Mr. Shu.

Old Man Shu nodded and smiled, with a loving expression that surprised Qinglan and Mingyu greatly, and usually this expression would only appear on his face to Shu Dalang or Xiao Meiyuan.

Shu Lao Er and the surrounding neighbors talked for a while, and the old man Shu felt that he was almost showing, and instructed his second son: "Qingqing will fight for our family, it should be good to celebrate, I think I will find a day, just the last two days, set up a few tables at home, please come and be lively!" ”

"This..."Shu Lao Er obviously didn't expect his father to make such a request at this time, he had a plan for a banquet, but he hadn't had time to discuss it with his daughter-in-law, and he didn't plan to do it in the old mansion.

"Let's set it up in the restaurant, everything is ready-made..."

Without waiting for Shu Lao Er to finish speaking, Old Man Shu waved his hand impatiently, "This matter is so decided, hold a banquet here, your chicken belly and eyes (place), so many people can't accept it." "Old man Shu made a decision in public, and Shu Lao Er was not good at refuting (bei two sounds) in front of people, so he had to nod his head.

Only then did Old Man Shu put his hands behind his back and walked towards his house.

When he returned to his home, it was already past the meal, and the four of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and when they heard their husbands say that they were going to the old house to do wine, Pan Er jumped to his feet angrily.

"Why do you run a wine in the old house?" Pan Erniang's face darkened, the last time Qinglan saw her expression, it was when Ji Dong had an accident.

Of course, Pan Erniang is very dissatisfied, the family has been separated for all these years, there are good things that have never thought about their own family, and the matter of paying money has always been the first to find her own family, and now her daughter has taken the first exam, and she should be the guest of the main banquet, and her father-in-law is blindly mixed with something!

Shu Lao Er smiled bitterly, he didn't want to go to the old mansion to do it, but there were so many people guarding it at the time...

Qinglan somewhat understands why Old Man Shu ran out and inserted a lever, first, he wanted to take advantage of his face to show off, Old Man Shu himself is a person with a good face and loves vanity; The second is that he doesn't need to spend money to hold a banquet, but he accepts all the gifts and gifts, such a good deal, how can Old Man Shu not be able to calculate it.

Pan Erniang dragged out and was unwilling to do it, how could the old man Shu send someone to urge him when he saw the sky, but Shu Er's second child couldn't, so he had to set a date for June 16.

On that day, the old mansion of the Shu family was full of people, and it was very lively, not only relatives, friends, and neighbors came to congratulate, but even some people in the county who had heads and faces and could say that they were famous, and they also sent people to send congratulatory gifts.

Old man Shu was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, and led Shu Dalang to usher in Zhang Luo, who was sent there, and he didn't know that he thought it was Shu Dalang's head of the exam.

Qinglan, as the protagonist of today, should be in front to greet the guests, but Old Man Shu pushed Shu Dalang to the front, like an old cadre who has been in the officialdom for many years, came down to inspect the work, made a gesture, and kept showing the posture of the Shu family's children and grandchildren like everyone.

Qinglan was too lazy to fight with them, and wanted to find a quiet place to stay for a while, but the Shu family was too small, and Qinglan would be surrounded by a group of women wherever she went.

It's good to say that it's warm and warm, anyway, it's not very familiar, at most polite and smiling, which is considered a full courtesy.

There is also a mother-in-law's mouth that is sour and does not slip away, and it is really praising and depreciating, Pan Erniang is not used to them, and after saying it, no one can take advantage of it.

The most annoying thing is the old family led by Aunt Shu, who are like a group of old hens, chattering non-stop, praising Qinglan that there is nothing in the sky and it is difficult to find in the ground. Especially Aunt Shu's eldest daughter-in-law, Yu's, kept touting Qinglan and boasting about herself by the way: "I have long known that our family Qingqing is a Wenqu star toddler!" Our daughters, all of them are like this! As he spoke, he stretched out his thumb and looked proud.

Who is from your family, Qinglan rolled her eyes in her heart, when you scolded me for not going to school, you didn't say that.

Aunt Shu was also unusual, and greeted Qinglan with cold and warmth, and she was kind and didn't want it, (Qinglan: Old lady, are we very familiar with each other?) Qinglan listened to a chill, and goosebumps fell to the ground.

"Qingqing."

Hearing Second Aunt Shu call herself over, Qinglan was reluctant, and today Second Aunt was very gentle with herself, and she was panicked.

"Qingqing, come, take it." Shu Ergu handed over a red envelope, Qinglan glanced at it, there was no movement, she didn't want to and didn't bother to take it.

Today, Qinglan received a lot of red envelopes, and she happily accepted the ones given by her father and mother; People who are not very familiar with her, she found an excuse to block it, as for the second aunt... Qinglan simply didn't want her gift money, let alone any more personal relations with her family, she didn't dare to forget the last time she was cheated of book money.

"Take it," Second Aunt Shu saw that her niece refused to answer, and she felt resentful in her heart, but she smiled kindly on her face, like an aunt who loves her children, and forced the red envelope into Qinglan's hand.

Qinglan didn't need to be checked, she was "surprised" by the fluttering weight in her hand, she really deserves to be my good second aunt, who is cold in the face after not falling behind!

Seeing my niece holding the red envelope and not talking, I don't know what I'm thinking with my eyes down, what's the matter, it's too little? Second Aunt Shu was upset, and added: "As much as your brother's." ”

Yo, and everyone is treated equally!

In the spring of the year before last, Shu Dalang had luckily passed the county's small exam, and Mr. Shu seemed to have seen Da Lang's appearance as an official in the future, and wanted to hold a banquet, but Shu Da rejected it, and only the family made two tables. Fortunately, it was no longer possible for Shu Dalang to make no achievements in his studies, but he was gifted in medicine, and now he is quite serious in learning.

Hehe, Qinglan smiled sarcastically, why should I have as much as Da Lang, why do you let me have as much as Da Lang? Could it be that you also owe as much to your uncle's family as you do to our family?

She walked quickly to Aunt Shu, stuffed the red envelope back into her arms, and said indifferently: "The second aunt is also difficult, so let's keep this money for the second aunt to eat." After speaking, she left without looking back, leaving the stunned Second Aunt Shu, her face red and white, and she stood there muttering and scolding for a while before stopping.

When he came to the hall, it happened that a wave of guests had just left, and the old man Shu took the big man out to send people off, and there was only one county magistrate left in the hall.

"Uncle." Qinglan lowered her head and said hello, and without waiting for Zhao Bingsheng's reaction, she poured herself a cup of tea and sat on the chair opposite. Whew~~~ I'm tired of my sister, I'm more tired than selling sorbet for a day!

Zhao Bingsheng glanced up at his niece, and said with a smile: "I didn't see you at noon, what are you busy with, tired like this?" "Women can't serve the table, this is the rule, even if Qinglan is the head of the case, she has to honestly enter the room to eat.

Yes? Qinglan was surprised, the eldest uncle still has such a side, so... Kind and kind? Since Zhao Bingsheng became the county magistrate, the official prestige has become more and more prosperous, and she has forgotten what the eldest uncle who used to talk about poetry with her turned out to be.

"Oh, nothing busy, it's too hot." Qinglan held the cup and didn't know how to chat with Zhao Bingsheng now.

"Yes, there is a big drought this year," Zhao Bingsheng didn't seem to notice his niece's embarrassment, and he seemed very interested in chatting with Qinglan.

The two chatted about the weather, and Zhao Bingsheng was surprised to find that Qinglan was not a dead student, and she also knew a little about farming.

"So what do you think can be done to alleviate the drought?" Zhao Bingsheng stared at Qinglan's expression, "The ground is too dry to grow things now, and this season is considered blind." ”

"It's better to plant nothing," Qinglan said truthfully, "to gather the manpower together to dig ditches and build a temporary reservoir near the farmland, so that some rain or snow water can be stored for the next spring ploughing; Second, with the convenience of watering the canal, it is only necessary to organize the villagers to pass through once every year, and the ditch mud can also be used to raise the land, once and for all. ”

"Oh, yes," Zhao Bingsheng stroked his beard that had just grown up, this method might work. Zhao Bingsheng is also a farmer, he knows the huge role of the canal, if he gets it right, maybe he can go up a liter...

Qinglan didn't know if Zhao Bingsheng would follow her advice, anyway, what had already been said, she couldn't care if she couldn't do it.

"Qingqing, you can be regarded as taking the first step when you are admitted to the show, and in the future, you will have to rely on yourself, and you can only rely on yourself." Zhao Bingsheng kindly reminded his niece that it is not easy to go from a citizen to an official, and he has gone through this difficult road.

Qinglan immediately understood this pun, on the one hand, she was grateful to Zhao Bingsheng for this heartfelt prompt, and on the other hand, she felt funny, uncle, don't worry, I Shu Qinglan will not ask for your door no matter how difficult it is.

Qinglan saluted, stood up and thanked her eldest uncle.

Such an attitude made Zhao Bingsheng very satisfied.

Three days later, Qinglan received a birthday gift, which was sent by Zhao Bingsheng.

Qinglan thanked her politely, the expression on her face was quite playful, this was the first time she had returned to her aunt's house as a gift of life and death.

Putting the gifts into her cabinet, Qinglan and her father and brother got into the mule cart, today is her birthday, and her uncle is going to hold a birthday banquet for her at Pan's house.
