Chapter 144: The Lu Family
Hearing this, the official surnamed Qian nodded with a smile and said with a smile, "No, originally today's incident, I shouldn't have come in person, it was not easy for our county magistrate to thank Master Xiucai, and I was specially sent to bring a few brothers to be lively!" ”
The old village chief Li Rui nodded, speechless with excitement, and tears flashed faintly in his cloudy eyes.
After a moment's pause, he only turned into a sentence, "Okay, good!" ”
After so many years, I didn't expect that before he died, he could see another talent in the village, and now, he can also walk away!
The people next to him were anxious, could this village chief speak?! For so long a day, I can't ask on time!
Fortunately, he helped the second son of the old village chief, and noticed everyone's anxiety, and said to the old village chief with a smile: "Dad, don't talk about anything else, hurry up and ask, which brother is it, the master of Xiucai in high school, everyone should go and report the good news!" ”
When the old village chief heard this, he nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "Isn't it, look at me, I'm confused!" Official, whose son's high school is it?! ”
The official surnamed Qian laughed heartily, and arched his hands towards the east: "This time, Master Xiucai is the county master's own family, the son of the surname Lu, and the son of Lu Ling and the son of Lu Ling." ”
As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately became noisy.
"Oh my God, it's Boss Lu's son, didn't that kid still dig sweet potatoes on the ridge two years ago?!"
The person next to him was not happy, and said disdainfully: "Look at what you said, the son of the family is young and promising, I just see that the Lu family kid is a promising person, with a white face, and at first glance he is the material for being a big official." ”
This remark received countless boos, and there was a humanitarian: "The boy Lu is only sixteen this year, isn't he still young, in a blink of an eye, this has become a show... It's terrifying......"
This slightly literary emotion has won a lot of approval, and the person who deliberately pretends to be profound raises his chin quite proudly.
This group of people had a heated discussion here, and some of them were good friends with the Lu family, so they went to report the good news early. This official came to the door, but he had to make some preparations.
In the small courtyard of the Wu family, Wu Song was teaching Tang Bao sword practice in the courtyard when he suddenly heard a commotion next door. Frowning slightly, he said to Tang Bao: "You practice first, I'll take a look." ”
After speaking, he opened the courtyard door and walked out, Tang Bao stretched out his head to take a few looks. However, the door closed in an instant, and he pouted helplessly, so he could only itch and continue to practice the sword.
Wu Song, who had just walked out of the courtyard, watched a large group of people coming over from a distance, raised his eyebrows, changed his mind, and stood there to see what was going on.
In the courtyard next door, Su was making new clothes for his eldest son, thinking that his eldest son had not come back for the New Year. I was distressed, I missed it, and when I was out of my mind, I stuck my hand when I wasn't paying attention.
Put your fingers between your lips and teeth, and your face will be even more sad.
"Ling'er doesn't know what to do, is the clothes on her body enough to wear......
In a trance, I heard a sister-in-law shouting loudly outside, and a spirit came back to his senses. Hurry out.
opened the courtyard gate, and several sisters-in-law who knew each other in the village stood outside the door with a smile on their faces, and when they saw her, they pulled her happily to the courtyard, and kept saying "congratulations" in their mouths.
Su Shi was confused. Rourou smiled and said, "Sisters-in-law, this is ...... I don't know where the joy comes from? ”
The sister-in-law of the Hu family always has some dealings with her on weekdays, so her face is smiling very brightly at the moment.
So he smiled and said, "Oh, Sister Su, hurry up and prepare tea and snacks." This bad man who announces the good news will be at the door soon! ”
Another daughter-in-law surnamed Gu, who was the same age as the Su family and had a similar personality, was really happy for her at the moment, so she explained: "Ling'er is in high school! I'm in! ”
Su Shi was stunned for a moment, a look of disbelief appeared on his face, his lips trembled slightly, his eyes flashed with expectation, and he asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?!"
Gu Shi pursed her lips and chuckled, she understood Su Shi's mood at the moment, so she said patiently again: "I said your son, Lu Ling has been admitted to Xiucai!"
Su Shi's tears came down immediately, and he didn't even take out the handkerchief, so he just stood there and cried silently.
Hu Shi next to him was anxious, and hurriedly persuaded: "Ouch, I said Xiucai,, such a big happy event, why are you crying?!" If you don't hurry up and prepare firecrackers, tea and snacks, and people who report good news, you can get to the doorstep! ”
Hearing this, Su Shi chuckled, hurriedly took out a handkerchief, cleaned up the love, and several women helped to set things up, just when Lu Funian heard the wind, he hurried back, with a smile on his face that he couldn't put it away.
"Lady! Wife! Ling Er was admitted! ”
Before entering the door, this shout with ecstasy came into the courtyard, and several people in the house hurriedly came out to greet him, Su's fair face was full of excitement, and at this moment he glanced at his father-in-law affectionately, and put away his love.
That Hu Shi is a visionary, and when he looks at this, he knows that the little couple has something to say, so he smiled and said: "Ouch, Gu family daughter-in-law, look at us, isn't it an eyesore?!" This thing is almost packed, let's go outside the door and see where the team is! ”
Gu squeezed his eyes and chuckled, patted Su's hand, and followed Hu out of the courtyard, and before leaving, he didn't forget to say to the excited Lu Funian: "Brother Lu, the team is coming, hurry up and hang firecrackers!"
After speaking, he closed the door considerately.
Lu Funian walked over in two steps, took Su Shi into his arms, and said excitedly: "Lady, I have wronged you all these years, and now that Ling'er is angry, let's go back and see my mother!"
In a word, it happened to be the biggest knot in Su's heart, and he was excited for a while, and he cried in his father-in-law's arms.
Lu Funian patted his mother's thin shoulder and back in distress, silently comforting.
The two calmed down for a moment, then opened the door and laid out the firecrackers, just waiting for the good news to come to the door.
When Wu Song came out, it was when Lu Funian came out to hang firecrackers, and when the two met, they smiled at each other, and Wu Song politely asked what was going on.
The corners of Lu Funian's eyebrows and eyes were full of pride and pride, and he said respectfully: "It's just that my Ling'er has won the show, and the person who announces the good news is coming."
When Wu Song heard this, his eyes also flashed with surprise, and then he climbed into a thick smile.
Congratulations very sincerely: "That's really a big joy, Ling Er is really competitive, go back to Brother Lu, but you want to invite me to eat and drink!"
Lu Funian laughed heartily rarely, "Okay, good!" When you go back, you must have a few drinks with Brother Wu! ”
After laughing a few times with Wu Song, the team arrived at the door in a blink of an eye, and Lu Funian hurriedly went to light firecrackers. The sound of crackling firecrackers revealed endless joy, welcoming a large group of people into the courtyard.
"Congratulations, congratulations, my old money is here to congratulate Lu Jialing Gongzi on his talent in high school!"
Just stepped through the door. The leading official shouted the good news, and this lofty tone spread far away, indicating that there was another talent in Dashan Village.
The old village chief stood beside the servant, and said with a smile on his face full of wrinkles: "Boss Lu, why don't you hurry up and ask the messengers to go in and rest?!"
Lu Funian rubbed his hands excitedly. Nodding and smiling: "Yes, the poor men have worked hard, hurry up, sit inside!"
Then he arched his hand and said to the people surrounding outside: "Fellow villagers, thank you, big guy!" I won't thank you one by one this little brother, and I will invite everyone to eat and drink another day! ”
A big man outside laughed and shouted, "Okay! Boss Lu, if you don't invite me to drink another day, I can reason with Master Xiucai! ”
The good-natured ridicule made the big guy laugh, and after saying congratulations, it gradually dispersed.
Lu Funian and his wife welcomed the village chief and the official into the house, and entertained them with good tea and water. After chatting happily, Lu Funian asked a little eagerly: "I don't know where my family Ling'er is now?"
The official surnamed Qian took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said with a polite smile: "Brother Lu, don't worry, Lu Gongzi has already arrived in the town, our county master is benevolent, and he reads the surname of the Lu family, so keep Lu Gongzi and prepare a thin wine and a light banquet to entertain Lu Gongzi!"
Lu Funian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a grateful look appeared on his face. He couldn't stop saying, "Okay, Ling'er can get Lord Lu's teaching, it's his luck in three lives!"
Saying this, Su Shi made a few appetizers. Carrying the wine jug to the table, Lu Funian picked up the wine glass and said to everyone gratefully: "Thank you for your hard work today!" A toast to everyone! Do it first! ”
After speaking, he raised his head, drank a glass of wine, and some inexplicable water flashed in his spicy eyes.
After everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank a glass, the old village chief was also full of emotion. sighed, picked up the wine glass and said: "Fu Nian, don't say anything, your son has the ability, it's your blessing!" I'll toast you too! ”
Lu Funian hurriedly picked up his wine glass and said respectfully: "Village Chief, Ling'er can have today, and your teaching is indispensable...... In the future, Ling'er will go further, we will definitely thank you! ”
The old village chief was speechless, just nodded vigorously, drank a glass of wine, and sighed softly: "I hope I can still ...... See that day......"
After eating and drinking for a while, they got up to say goodbye, and Su walked in and stuffed a big red money bag to Lu Funian, who understood and handed it over to the official surnamed Qian.
"Poor master, this is a little bit of our heart, thank the brothers for a special trip, it's not easy in the cold weather, take it and buy some wine to drink!"
The official surnamed Qian knew that this was happy money, and he didn't shirk it, so he accepted it obediently, and said with a smile: "In this way, I will take care of my brothers, thank you Brother Lu for your kindness!"
"Where, walk slowly all the way, please tell my family Ling'er, listen to the teachings of the county master!"
The other party took the money, ate and drank a good meal, and was satisfied, so he patted his chest and promised to bring it to him, so he left with a wine burp.
After a few people left, the old village chief also got up to say goodbye, Lu Funian helped the old village chief to go home, along the way, the old village chief said to him seriously: "Fu Nian, you are what I grew up watching, you are also a promising, your daughter-in-law married well, and now your son is also promising, your life is enough!"
Lu Funian nodded, and the village chief continued: "Ling Kid is angry...... I have to keep him reading...... In the future, maybe we can take the exam and become an official, so that our village can also have a bright ......"
The babbling whispers, even the thinking is incomprehensible, intermittent, but Lu Funian still listened respectfully, and agreed sentence by sentence, he understands that people are old, and they have drunk some wine today, and their spirits are inevitably a little bad.
Sent the village chief back, and he returned home with the wind under his feet, and greeted people happily when he met them along the way, greeting them to eat and drink when the time came.
When he returned home, Su Shi was still cleaning up the dishes, and when he saw him come back, he smiled softly, and a tacit affection flowed between his eyes.
After discussing and waiting for his son to come back, the family gathered well, prepared Lu Ling's favorite food and drinks, cleaned the house carefully, and both of them put on clean new clothes, so as not to feel distressed when their son came back.
Sure enough, after waiting for a long time, a handsome man in a light cyan shirt accompanied by a cotton jacket of the same color, carrying a thin burden, walked into the village.
"Yo, isn't this a showman?! Ouch Ling boy, it's out of breath! ”
"Ling boy! Go back and ask your mother to cook a good meal for you! ”
The uncles and aunts laughed kindly, although they were full of congratulations and pride, but they were not half jealous, at most they were a little envious, and complained that their children were not angry.
Along the way, he received a warm welcome from many people in the village, and they all beckoned him to come to the house as a guest, Lu Ling agreed with a light smile, and slightly elongated his figure, with the unique youthfulness of a young man, and the indifferent temperament of a scholar.
The appearance of smiling lightly made countless cardamom women in their hearts fall in love.
So those sisters-in-law are happy to see it, if their daughter can be favored by the talented master, it will be an excellent marriage!
Although he knows that he will not get married now, the Lu family will definitely let him continue to study, and maybe he will be an official in the future, so it is better to set the family affairs as early as possible!
Thinking of this, those who had daughters at home couldn't sit still, so they hurriedly pulled their blushing daughters home and discussed countermeasures.
Besides, Lu Ling, who is obviously very young but is called the master, the young man is only sixteen years old, and he is still a few years away from the weak crown.
Lu Ling, who is now going home, is full of enthusiasm and has a heart for the world, but he has a calm temperament since he was a child, so his face is indifferent, which makes people look at it even more.
Did Su Shi stand at the door and look at the side of the road, to see if the son he was thinking about had returned, and the iron pillar that had come back from the village was enough, and when he came back, he heard that his brother had become a showman, and he was happy.
I don't know what Xiucai is, but it must be something very powerful!
After all, that's his idol since childhood, brother!
So the iron pillar has been lying at the door, waiting for his brother's honorable return like a wangfu stone.
Finally, the figure on the intersection became clearer and clearer, and the familiar and somewhat unfamiliar eyebrows and eyes came into view, Su Shi began to shed tears again, ran over quickly, and pulled his son to look over and over again.
Lu Ling also smiled gently, pulled around by his mother, Su's eyes were red, looking at the white clothes washed on his son's body, he was distressed, and the first thing he said was:
"Ling'er...... My Ling'er...... How did you lose weight......"
