Early the next morning, Yu Xin felt that it was very lively outside, standing on the balcony on the second floor and looking out of the courtyard, she saw that the place where the groundbreaking ceremony was held outside the main garden was full of people. In the past, the old people gathered together in twos and threes to chat with each other, their faces full of smiles, and the thin children, in the crowd, cheerfully, ran back and forth, chasing each other and playing. Some women were holding needlework or insoles in their hands, doing needlework and holding the soles of their shoes, and they wanted to talk to each other, and their faces were full of excitement. Rural life, the already monotonous situation like this, maybe it is the first time these people have seen it in their lives, can these people not be excited? The south, all touched to come, watch this lively scene.

In the center of the field, from time to time, people in the manor in black shirts shuttled back and forth, fiddling with this thing. In this ancient period, the families of each family also had uniform clothing, and these domestic slaves of Yuxin's family wore black shirts. Mr. Gu and Mr. Wolf were only wearing long silk shirts with dark dark lines.

In the center of the venue, there used to be an offering table, on which were placed three animal offerings, flowers and fruits, incense, candles, paper money, and a long red firecracker. At this moment, Mr. Gu was directing a small servant, holding a few shovels tied with red silk cloth and placing them next to the offering table.

In the distance, the sun rises in the east, the sky is full of glow, the radiant blue sky, the sky is cloudless, and the mountains with long corridors in the distance are lush and green. The turquoise water of the big river at the foot of the mountain rushed to the east, and the crops in the fields had been harvested, showing patches of brown soil, withered yellow weeds in the fields, lying on the ground, occasionally a few flowers? Small golden flowers, swaying in the wind. Looking at this quiet and peaceful scene, Yu Xin's mood couldn't help but open up. Yu Xin was tiptoeing on a stool, lying on the railing and looking into the distance to meditate, when suddenly a loud voice broke the silence.

"The county ordered Wang Yucheng to arrive." There was a rush of horses' hooves, with a loud voice from far and near, and the crowd rushed over. As the horses ran in, the crowd automatically split to both sides, giving way to the wide road in the middle.

A sturdy young man in a black shirt rolled off his horse, ran quickly in front of Mr. Gu and Mr. Xiang, bent over with his hands into fists, and reported to the two that the county order was coming. It seems that this man was sent to spy on him.

Then he saw that the two stewards had commanded the men behind them, but they were too far apart to hear them clearly. But when he saw the entourage behind him, he ran to the side of the mahogany Eight Immortals table and was equipped with four Taishi chairs to check it, and the other person counted the fruit snacks and other dishes on the table, and the tea at this time was also placed on the table The entourage, and touched the periphery of the teapot with his hand to check the temperature of the tea.

And placed two plates of fresh peaches, a small suckling pig with a full beard and a full tail with the red river on the body, a chicken with a red line in the mouth, a chicken with red paper on the body, a fish surrounded by red paper and other mountain animal tributes, a pair of big red candles are placed on both sides of the offering, in front of the offering table, there is an incense burner, next to the incense burner, there is a long incense offering table with a plum red one foot long, there is also a special person in the inspection, a qiē is carried out in an orderly manner.

"Knock, knock." Waiting for the sound of the gong to lead everyone's attention into the distance. I saw two officials in front of me wearing short black cheeks and wearing red belts around their waists to sound gongs and open the way. Behind them were the same half, holding four officials who were holding signs of evasion. Behind these officials, a cyan official sedan chair carried by four people slowly walked from far and near.

Mr. Gu and Mr. Ke hurriedly straightened their clothes, led a group of entourages behind them, and greeted them. When she arrived, she stood two meters away and bowed. The prime minister's family slave seven rank officials, not to mention this = people, according to the grade, they only need to bow to the county order and shake hands and salute, and they don't need to kneel or the servants and servants behind them kneel on the ground.

"Welcome, Lord Prefectural, to our opening ceremony." The two of them spoke out at the same time and greeted Wang Xianling.

"Welcome to the county lord." The kneeling crowd shouted in unison, and the scene was spectacular.

"Hahahaha, we are very happy today, who would dare to say from now on that our northwest is a poor place in the whole Jin Kingdom. said that we are outside the Guan, Liuzhou Mansion, Binhe County, and there is not even a decent road. "From the sedan chair wearing dark green, embroidered on the chest symbolizing the official position, white background pattern official uniform, wearing an official hat on the head of the Wang County Order, after the three of them greeted each other, Wang County Order finally, there is the pleasure of spitting out the turbid breath in the heart.

And Gu Shengxian and Mr. Ke were also mixed up, and Wang Xianling was jubilant, and sat down at the mahogany Eight Immortals table. Another servant poured tea. The three of them gave in to each other for a while, and then slowly sat down.

Suddenly, there was a rolling yellow dust in the distance, and a few brown and white horses rushed to this side, and the sound of horses' hooves from near and near seemed to be close in a moment, and a young man in red clothes and a jade crown immediately turned over.

The movements were light and chic, and the guards in brown shirts who followed behind also turned over and dismounted neatly.

Yu Xin took a closer look, how is it Jin Ruizhe's demon, saying that he is a demon is not false at all, you just look at the little daughters-in-law and big girls in the crowd, and look at his excited eyes. How did he have time, didn't he and that person go back to the capital after he left Qing Shuigu? Yu Xin was puzzled, and when she saw the people sitting and drinking tea at the table of the Eight Immortals, she hurriedly put down the tea she was drinking and stood up, and straightened her very neat clothes. Greeted him.

A few people greeted each other, and then sat down again, at the table of the eight immortals, the little maid re-served the vegetable water, and several people sat and greeted each other, waiting for the arrival of the auspicious time.

There was another burst of dust and smoke, and the sound of horses' hooves rushing forward brought the news that the prefect was about to arrive. When the greeting people heard the report of the spies, they all got up again, straightened up, and went out to greet them with their clothes.

The arrival of the prefect was even more pompous, Yu Xin saw that the two officials carrying the gong became four, and the one carrying the evasive sign became six, and the follow, a group of officials carrying the killing stick. The official sedan chair of the prefect has also become a large official sedan chair carried by eight people.

At this time, the work of greeting the prefect was naturally taken over by Jin Ruizhe's demon, and when he saw him and the county order, he led a group of villagers to salute and greet the prefect.

"Welcome, Lord Prefect." The people who knelt down shouted in unison, and the voices of the people were louder and more neat and excited than the county commanders, you know, some people have never seen an official in their lives, but today they have seen the highest commander here.

"Welcome, Lord Ma, come to our ceremony, the arrival of Lord Ma is making our bloom! Jin Ruizhe played in an official tone when the prefect's master opened the sedan curtain.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing a red official uniform, a black official hat, and a long beard on his face, "Fellow villagers, please get up!" The prefect was obviously very satisfied with today's greeting scene, raised his hand slightly, greeted him with a kind voice full of joy, and the people who knelt on the ground got up.

"Master Xie." The crowd is even more agitated. Some people even blush unconsciously on their faces. The crowd unconsciously surrounded the middle of the venue, but, because of the maintenance order of the officials, there was no major chaos in the scene, but in some remote corners, there were some pushing and shoving each other.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Mr. Gu and Mr. Ke asked people to do one last inspection of the place, and then retreated the crowd of onlookers to the periphery. After the inspection, Mr. Gu whispered a few words in Jin Ruizhe's ear.

I saw Jin Ruizhe talking in a low voice with everyone present, and then everyone in unison, straightened their clothes, and walked to the front of the offering table. Mr. Gu began to stand at the offering table to preside over the ceremony.

"Let's be quiet, now the groundbreaking ceremony will officially begin, the first item, firing guns." After Mr. Gu finished speaking, there was a crackling and popping sound of firecrackers at the edge of the venue.

"The second item, worship, the gods."

Seeing the prefect, he stepped forward slowly, picked up the incense from the table, lit the candle, and then inserted it into the incense burner, and then picked up the wine glass on the table, and saluted in all directions.

"The third item is to lay the foundation."

At this time, several big people in the center of the venue, one of them took a shovel tied with red silk cloth sent by the little servant, and he was able to dig a few shovels backwards to the one who was revital. In order to add to the festive atmosphere and make a good intention, Steward Gu asked the little servant to carry out a tray of happy money and scatter it to the crowd. At this time, the crowd was even more noisy. The crowd of onlookers squatted down one after another and grabbed the copper coins on the ground. For a while, the lively atmosphere of the scene reached its peak.

Yu Xin and several people around him stood on the balcony on the second floor, and they were also infected by the lively atmosphere of the scene. Stand on the balcony and cheer. Today's cheerful and lively scene, many years later, whenever people talk about it, it is a retrospective on their faces.

Yu Xin did not participate in the lunch banquet to welcome the prefect and the county magistrate, after all, she was a little girl and her age was very inconvenient. It's just that at their dining table, Yu Xin asked Guo Yu to send a few jars of wine over. According to Guo Yu, who inquired about the situation, since they were all very excited, after hearing this, they thought that they would have a good relationship with the government in the future, so they gave the two of them four large jars of wine and two baskets of water-dense peaches.

The next day, Yuxin saw Jin Ruizhe, "Anyway, aren't you going back to the capital?" Why did you come to me again? ”

"It's not that someone is worried about you, afraid that you are not safe on the road, and thinking that the road here is going to hold a groundbreaking ceremony, and you are so small that it is inconvenient to deal with the government, so they sent me, and now the rhetoric outside is that this villa is my gold." He said it reluctantly.

"I've done you so much this time, your grapes, grapes, wine, and peaches, and you'll have to bring me more when I go back. You can't be stingy. "Someone did not forget to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail.

"Yes, I thank you this time. I'll have a lot of stuff for you when you're gone, right? Yu Xin said unwillingly.

"Here, this is something that some people brought you, I don't dare to open it to see it, you can go back to the room and see it yourself, I'm leaving," he said and threw down his things and turned around and left.

Yu Xin took the burden into the room and put it on the bed, opened the pink package, nine pieces, and placed several rectangular boxes of different sizes inside. Pick up the top, box, open it, and find that inside, there is a magnolia hairpin, a hairpin made of pure gold, holding a white magnolia flower. It is very light and elegant. Put down the hairpin, pick up the second box and open it, and find that inside is a small shovel, the handle of the shovel is made of mahogany, which is very beautiful. Then I opened the square box inside at the front, and I saw that it was actually a set, a white background red floral dress of muslin. The corners of his mouth twitched before seeing these things, this person really dressed himself as a full peasant woman. But fortunately, people can remember that giving themselves these things is also very suitable, and the mind is considered to be received. After reading the things, Yu Xin put these things back in place, packed them up, and carefully stored them in her own space.

After reading things, having breakfast, I arranged all the work, and thought about taking a break in my busy life, and went around my backward Beitou village. and Guo Yu walked out of Ruyi Manor, followed the path, and walked to the farmhouse in front.
