Chapter 57 The heart of the people
"The head of today's branch is Xie Yuanlang, and Jiang Anyi of Xinqi County. Congratulations to Jiang Jieyuan, who will continue to dominate in the coming year. ”
The heavy sighs mixed together are full of loss, pain, but also mixed with envy, jealousy, and admiration. Liu Yixing sat next to Jiang Anyi and said with a forced smile: "Congratulations to Anyi, I didn't expect that our table would actually pack four people from Wukui, and Anyi is a high school Xie Yuan, but it's a pity that Liu Mou is not a talent for you, he will see each other one day, and I hope to be able to cover it as before." ”
Hearing that Jiang Anyi and the other three of the five kui were sitting upstairs, the people in the teahouse who didn't want to get acquainted with each other rushed to this table, and no one noticed that Wu Yuanshi's face was not dead and he sat in the corner of the building.
The shopkeeper was simply ecstatic, no less than his own high school lifter, the ancestors blessed, twenty lifters sat in my teahouse five people, four of the five kui were here, Xie Yuanlang was also among them. Starting from tomorrow, the price of tea in the teahouse will double, which is really blessed by heaven, and this teahouse is really a blessed land.
Of course, the God-given opportunity cannot be missed, and the shopkeeper asked the guy to buy good paper and pencils, and asked the high school lifters to leave ink treasures. Wu Yuanshi quietly went downstairs, looking back at the jubilant and lively crowd, and his painful eyes were eager to burn and burn everything he saw.
When you go out, the sun is shining, the cinnamon is fragrant, and the young man is proud. Jiang Anyi, Xiao Daocheng and others were surrounded by a large group of people, Li Yifeng walked out of the loss, and said with a chuckle: "It's still early, Li Mou invited a few people to the Drunken Immortal Building for a small gathering, don't just get a friend Oh, Brother Liu, go together." ”
Not to mention that Jiang Anyi and others gathered in the restaurant, in the prison of the government office, Zhang Bojin sat on the ground, his hair was unkempt and dirty, his beard was messy, his eyes were dull, and he was more than ten years old. After Zhang Hongchong's death, Zhang Bojin seemed to be forgotten, and Zhang Bojin was about to forget himself and become a walking corpse.
The sound of chains sounded, Zhang Bojin would no longer feel afraid, Mu Ran's eyes didn't even want to turn around, to see who he was going to pull to the hall today.
"I heard that Xie Yuanlang is only seventeen years old this year, which is really amazing."
"It's not, I heard that it's still a word immortal, the head of the case of the assassin Shi Dacai two years ago, but I didn't expect to be lifted, and it is still the first name Xie Yuan. By the way, I heard my brother-in-law mention his name, Jiang Anyi. ”
Jiang Anyi's three words were like three thunderbolts, which shocked Zhang Bojin so much that he raised his head violently, and shot two fierce gazes from his scattered bun. I don't know where the power came from, Zhang Bojin rushed to the side of the prison door, shook the prison door and shouted loudly: "You just said that Jiang Anyi understands Yuan, you are talking nonsense. ”
The two officials were taken aback by Zhang Bojin, came back to their senses and raised their hands with a whip, and scolded: "Death thief, who is Xie Yuan doing your, you still have to think about how to live." ”
"Phew", after speaking, he took a heavy sip of Zhang Bojin.
Zhang Bojin sat down on the ground in a dejected manner, and muttered: "Xie Yuan is mine, it's mine." As he spoke, he began to cry.
The two officials laughed, "This guy is crazy, crazy." ”
The next day after the list is the deer song banquet, during which the poem "Deer Song" is sung and the Kui Xing dance is danced. This day belongs to Jiang Anyi, it belongs to the lifter of Zhongju, Jiang Anyi sat in the banquet, drunk before drinking, fluttering like a fairy, at this moment, what I want most is to be with my mother, An Yong and Yan'er, so that they can be as happy as themselves.
In fact, Jiang Anyi knew that he had the news of Xie Yuan, and the government government would have a special person to ride a fast horse to report the good news, and the county government would also go to report the good news when he learned the news.
Three days later, Jiangfu, Pingshan Town, Xinqi County, hung lanterns, suona jubilant, in the hall of the main house, the mud gold newspaper stickers were hung high, "good news of your mansion Lao Ye Jiang Anyi High School Dezhou Township test name Xie Yuan Jingbao even Denghuangjia". People in and out looked at this newspaper with envy and awe, a piece of paper, representing the different fate of the Jiang family from then on.
There was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him, Chen Zhixian came in person, went to the church to worship Jiang's father, shouted "brother and sister" at Jiang Huang's family, took Jiang Anyong's hand and asked long and short questions, and those who didn't know thought that Jiang Anyi's uncle had arrived.
Chen Shide's performance appraisal at the end of the year only won the "middle level", obviously his plan to promote Yu Zhijie failed, Jiang Anyi high school Xie Yuan, brought hope to his cheap uncle. Chen Shide wrote to his son Chen Houyuan as soon as possible, asking him to rush to Xinqi County no matter how many years ago, and he must have a relationship with Jiang Anyi. This time, the iron rooster gritted his teeth and plucked his feathers, and a hundred taels of congratulatory silver were placed among the many gifts, and the silver was dazzling.
Yu Zhiren, the head of the Yu family, came with his children and nephews, and the congratulatory gift was twenty taels of gold, and two carts full of food and clothing. Jiang Anyi was able to move, and the relationship with the Yu family suddenly became much closer, not to mention the teacher-student relationship between Yu Zhijie, just the crisp white business made the Yu family save a lot of money. Yu Zhiren has the heart to take this opportunity to form a family and in-laws between Yu Mansion and Jiang Mansion, there are several girls of the right age in Yu Mansion, can they marry Jiang Anyi, if not, he also wants to see Jiang Anyi's younger brother and sister, if it is suitable, he may as well marry his own family, with this relationship, at least it can ensure the prosperity of the Yu family for decades.
Guo Haiqing smiled so much that the fat on his face was full of crystals, as a businessman, he was not qualified to sit at the same table and drink with the magistrate of the county, the officials in the county and big people like Yu Zhiren, but his son and Jiang An are brothers and sisters, and he is the godson of Jiang Huang's family, Chen Zhixian also called himself an old brother, Yu Zhiren clinked glasses with himself, how could he not let Guo Haiqing laugh like a fat flower.
Guo Huaili took Fang Zhizhong and Jiang Anyong to greet the guests in front of the door, and took the time to turn around and teach Fang Zhizhong a lesson, saying: "Zhizhong, you said that you can only smirk, and you can't even say a word, how can your godmother like you and me?" ”
Fang Zhizhong glanced at him, coldly pushed his crotch, and pushed Guo Huaili out of the way. Jiang Anyong laughed, Guo Huaili glared and said angrily: "The gentleman doesn't move his mouth, An Yong, you still laugh at your brother, if you have a new person, forget the old one." ”
Jiang Anyong hurriedly stepped forward, pretended to pat him on the back, and said: "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, and I, the little brother, will not be involved, Brother Guo, you have a lot, don't be angry." ”
"Yo, it's different after reading books for half a year, and I know that the palms and backs of my hands are full of meat, unlike some people, so that he can read books and snort louder than thunder." The family set up a family school, and Jiang Huang felt that Fang Zhizhong had better go to literacy, but he went for two days, Fang Zhizhong slept for two days, and Mr. Zhou was so angry that he kicked him out.
Fang Zhizhong knew that he was at a loss and stopped making a sound, leaned against the door, and continued to be his door god, Guo Huaili greeted the guests, and chatted with Jiang Anyong about the interesting things about him and Jiang Anyi, what Kunhua fighting poems, hairpin banquets are wonderful to Taishou, even talking and blowing, Jiang Anyong listened to it with relish, and even Fang Zhizhong listened to it.
Jiangfu celebrated for three days in a row, and more than 40 tables of flowing water seats were placed in the house, as long as those who came to congratulate, no matter who they were, whether they took the congratulatory gifts or not, they were all invited in, so that the villagers in Pingshan Town could improve their lives.
The government of Wenping Mansion, Feng Tingshi, with officials big and small, ushered in a special visitor, the emperor sent to announce the decree. Dezhou continued to find traces of Yuan Tianjiao's activities, especially Long Wei reported that Yuan Tianjiao wanted to launch a big change in Dezhou, and the emperor couldn't sit still anymore, so he sent the eunuch Tang Wenzhong.
Tang Wenzhong, the Son of Heaven served close to him when he was young, and after the emperor ascended the throne, he was promoted to the inner eunuch from the fourth rank to the great eunuch with his loyalty, and became one of the four major internal eunuchs. Zhang Hongchong was a bandit, which made the emperor very angry, and in addition to sending Tang Wenzhong to read the holy decree, he also secretly ordered him to thoroughly investigate the whole of Texas to see if there were any officials who had secret communication with the Yuan Tianjiao.
Feng Shaojun peeked at Tang Wenzhong, and saw that he was sitting on the throne with a straight face, without saying a word, and secretly complained in his heart, how could the emperor send a eunuch to Texas to announce the decree, in a sense, the eunuch is the emperor's private person, and the Son of Heaven sent the internal eunuch to announce the decree, which is obviously distrustful of the Texas officials.
Laughing, Feng Shaojun said: "The Yuantian Sect is related to the country, and the father-in-law of labor is really the fault of Texas." The father-in-law has won the trust of Long Live long-lived, and everyone in Texas has obeyed his father-in-law's orders since Feng. ”
Tang Wenzhong's cold face had a hint of a smile, and he said in a sharp voice: "Lord Feng is polite, our family has come to the emperor to explain, we want our family to listen more and watch more and interfere less, the affairs of the Yuan Tianjiao are still mainly based on you, and our family can just take a look at it." ”
"My father-in-law is too humble, long live to have a loyal minister like my father-in-law by his side, it is a blessing for the subjects of the world. Father-in-law, it is not early, Feng prepared a little thin wine, washed the dust for his father-in-law, and asked his father-in-law to appreciate the light. ”
"That's it, it's hard for you to work hard, our family won't brush off your kindness, and we won't make an example."
Full of wine and food, Tang Wenzhong returned to the post house that had been reorganized for him, and the two little eunuchs beside him stepped forward to help, and said with a chuckle on the left: "Godfather, the officials in Texas have sent a lot of gifts, take a look." ”
There were more than a dozen boxes in the house, and the little eunuch obediently opened a small box with a square foot, full of silver, and this box was at least four hundred taels, and there was a seal in the box, "Sima Shang Zhengfu is blessed by his father-in-law."
Tang Wenzhong looked at the end with great interest, there were gold and silver jewelry, fine porcelain, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all of which were of great value. Tang Wenzhong sat down with a smile and instructed the little eunuch beside him, "Don't leave the house these days, it's not easy to come out, if our family doesn't get some coffins and go back, wouldn't it be unworthy of ourselves." ”
Jiangfu, the excitement has gradually subsided, the gatehouse of the Jiang family has been renovated, the gatehouse is hung above the "Xie Yuan Mansion" plaque, there is a pair of stone drums left and right of the gate, the people who pass in front of the door, look up at the plaque, all are solemn and respectful, Jiangfu, is no longer Pingshan Township people can climb high.
In the main house, Jiang Huang's family was worried about Jiang Anyi's marriage, and the person who proposed marriage to Jiang Anyi had broken through the threshold these days, which also made Jiang Huang's family dazzled. Jiang Anyi listened to the mother's words one by one, and said with a wry smile: "Mother, the child is still young, and I want to enter Beijing next year to take the exam, and it's too early to talk about it." ”
"That's right", Jiang Huang shut, when you were admitted to Xiucai, Xiuling Niang asked someone to kiss, but her mother didn't agree. This time too, it's not that I agreed too early, if my son is a jinshi, maybe I will be recruited by the emperor as a concubine, and if I marry a relative, it won't be delayed. ”
Listening to his mother's fantasies, Jiang Anyi could only smile bitterly, thinking in his heart when to leave for Jinshui Village, there is still a period of time before the Chinese New Year, if he wants to be a jinshi, he will also be studied diligently by Master Fan.
