The rain is in the empty forest, and the fireworks are late, and the steamed quinoa is cooked.

Flying egrets in desert paddy fields, yellow orioles in the shade of summer trees.

In the mountains, Xi quietly watched the hibiscus, and Panasonic Qingzhai folded the sunflower.

The wild old man is fighting with others, and the seagulls are even more suspicious.

The paddy fields are overcast, the summer trees are deserted, the forest birds in the mountains have only returned to their nests for a long time, and the fragrance of rice on Jiying Mountain has gradually drifted away with the singing of the villagers.

"Knock !!" A gong sounded in the mountains, startling the melodious mountain song. The villager looked up and found that at the foot of the mountain, there were several errands leading a tall horse with red colors and heading towards Lujiazhuang. In a short time, a group of people gathered around the group and headed towards the village. The villagers couldn't help but be surprised, how the peaceful village in Suri was more lively than the New Year's sacrifice to the ancestors. This scene is like the scene when Lu Zuoxiang tried the first place in the clan in previous years, and I think there is something happy in the village. The villager put down the sickle in his hand and hurried back to the village to watch the excitement.

"Our village is really a treasure of feng shui!"

"Who's to say it isn't! There was another lifter! ”

"You said that his eldest brother won the first place in the township at a young age three years ago! This year, my brother is so competitive and won the first place! Is there smoke coming out of the ancestral grave? The village was crowded at this time, and the villager was in hot pursuit, but fortunately he did not miss the first-class excitement of the village.

"If this Lu family's prime minister is not tired of officialdom, it is estimated that he will be a big role now!"

The servants struck the gong to open the way and came to a broken thatched hut in Lujiazhuang to report the good news. There was only one old lady in the house, who was sitting in front of the door and mending clothes by the light, and when the old lady saw the many people gathered in front of her house, she shuddered and squinted and asked, "What is the matter, folks?" Is something wrong? ”

These villagers were talking and laughing, and they rushed to say: "Your second minister is also in the middle of the lift!" The officer in front of him also nodded and laughed with a smile.

"Hit?" The old lady frowned, as if she was a little suspicious, but looking at the battle in front of her, she smiled, "I think it's time to be." ”

"Old lady, we are here to spread good news! Where did the two ministers go? We also have to do a routine job and lead the second master to ride a horse to the village to raise the face of our village! ”

Before the old lady could answer, a man's voice came from behind the crowd, "Wealth is not my wish, and the emperor's hometown is not expected." Huai Liangchen is lonely or planting a cane. Dengdong Gao is a poem with Shu Xiao and a clear stream. ”

When everyone looked back, they asked the prime minister for good, the crowd dispersed, and the old lady squinted, seeing that this offspring with a white face and delicate facial features was her eldest son, "Zuo'er!" Have you ever seen Xiang'er's whereabouts? ”

The thin descendant, although he was the eldest brother of the middle lifter, could not see the slightest joy on his face, but replied calmly: "Fang is still in the clan's pharmacy to help others write prescriptions!" Now I think it's ......"

Before he finished speaking, a group of people in front of the house were laughing and hugging a young man, "The second phase is back!" The second phase is back! ”

I saw that the young man rushed forward and grabbed the good news card of the errand officer, and it really read: Shanzhou Township tried to solve the Yuan Lu Renxiang.

Lu Zuo looked at the villagers who came to see the excitement with a faint look in his eyes, and said, "All the villagers are scattered, my family will definitely set up a table to entertain everyone another day." Lu Zuo thanked me here! He finished speaking.

"Where is the Great Minister! The second minister should follow us to the county to have a lively time now, and on such a day, the people in our village will follow suit. ”

Lu Renxiang looked at the wedding card in his hand on the side, and after being silent for a while, he suddenly laughed out loud and said, "Sure enough!" Ha ha! Sure enough, I won! ”

Everyone rushed to Lu Renxiang and got on the horse, and then asked the old lady to prepare a banquet, saying that she was going to entertain her neighbors tonight, so she went to the county happily.

After the crowd dispersed, the old lady returned to the house, looked at the rice in the rice tank, and instantly looked sad again, only half a bucket of rice was left, not to mention that it was set up to set up a table, even if it was porridge, I was afraid that it would not be enough for everyone to eat. The old lady shook her head and sighed, "Zuo'er! If you had been as dedicated to your career as your brother, you wouldn't be like this now! ”

Lu Zuo's eyes were flat, but he was a little disdainful in his heart, but when he looked at his thin mother in front of him, he couldn't help but feel pity, so he had to bow his head and be silent.

The old lady was anxious about the rice, and when she wanted to tell Lu Zuo to go next door to borrow rice, a middle-aged man dressed as a squire outside the door shouted, "Is Brother Renxiang at home?" ”

Lu Zuo helped the old lady to the door to greet her, "It turned out to be a high-ranking officer, and the old man is polite!" Lu Zuo also followed Shi Li.

"It seems that the old lady is also a person who knows books and etiquette, and she is polite! Where is Brother Renxiang? ”

Lu Zuo suddenly appeared and said, "Second Uncle Gao, I haven't seen you for three years, it's always been good!" ”

"Oh! It turned out to be a public assistant! It's all good at home! Where's your brother? I have a little wine at home, I wonder if the two brothers of the Lu family and the old lady can come in the evening? The senior officer smiled and wrinkled the laugh lines on his face.

The old lady was worried about how to be good, but she didn't expect the senior staff to come out to help, although she was a little reluctant in her heart, but she couldn't take out any good wine and food to entertain the neighbors today, but it was not good to say it if she promised it, so she glanced at her son Lu Zuo. Lu Zuo understood and said with a smile: "How can this work, how can there be any reason to trouble the high-ranking people!" ”

The senior officer waved his hand and said, "Where is it!" Brother Renxiang High School, presumably the officials and squires with heads and faces in ten miles and eight towns will come to say goodbye, and I have a larger place there, so it is easy to entertain. After that, he took a brocade bag from the hand of the entourage behind him, "The old lady is in urgent need of silver taels now, the old lady should not dislike it, these silver taels are accepted." ”

The old lady frowned, smiled and said with a smile: "Where is this?" ”

"The old lady is polite, this is Gao's donation for the children of the village, besides, the old lady's family is so poor, but she has cultivated two sons for the village, the old lady is really the mother of our village!"

When the old lady saw him say this, she agreed with the boat. After hearing this, Lu Zuo felt a little unhappy, so he turned around and went back to the back room. Gao Yuanwai said goodbye with a smile, and when he left, he repeatedly asked the old lady's family to go.

In the evening of that day, Gao Yuanwai sent someone early to invite the two brothers of the Lu family and the old lady to the banquet together. Lu Zuo didn't like to have a banquet the most, so he couldn't get away with it, and the old lady knew in her heart that she was not reluctant, and after Lu Zuo saw them out, she read a book alone in the room, thinking about his father's words before he died, and he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. When Fang passed the day, he saw the old mother and younger brother come back. The old lady helped Lu Renxiang to sit on the recliner with the smell of alcohol, and Lu Zuo came out of the back room, seeing that his younger brother was already drunk and unconscious, and his mother's face was also a little tired, so he went to the stove to make two bowls of tea and gave them to his mother and younger brother to drink.

"I don't have to do anything, I'll just drink a little, you take care of your brother!" The old lady took a sip of tea.

Lu Zuo nodded and helped Lu Renxiang to the bed to rest. Looking at his drunken brother, he felt a little sad in his heart, shook his head, sighed, and picked up a book from the desk and read it. I don't know when, I don't know if it's the candle that my mother helped cut. The old lady looked at the thin Lu Zuo and said earnestly: "Zuo'er! Go to bed early after reading! ”

"Mother, let's rest early!" Lu Zuo smiled and nodded.

The old lady turned around and was about to leave, when her steps suddenly stopped calmly. Lu Zuo watched his mother's back flickering in the candlelight, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "What's wrong with my mother?" Any other commands? ”

Lu Zuo looked at his mother's figure, and vaguely felt that she seemed to be wiping away tears. The mother turned around, with tears in her eyes, and said, "Son! Mother has something to say that she doesn't know when to say it? ”
