Chapter Sixty-Six: Top-grade Style: It's too urgent
When he arrived in front of Xiang Bo's house, he found that it was already full of people, and almost all of the young women in Baibao Village came here, except for the young women who were inconvenient to show their heads and those who really couldn't go out.
The reason why there are so many people, because there is nothing to be busy with in the spare time now, but also because there are people at the door to send fried goods to eat, the villagers are short of oil and water from old to young, this kind of fruit with enough oil and salt is the supreme delicacy, no one wants to miss it, they have to take it to their families, and it seems that they have to send a few rounds of meaning, everyone is even more reluctant to go.
Seeing Qin Xiucai and them coming, everyone automatically made a way out and watched them advance with awe and envy, Zhu Da could clearly feel that the villagers had regarded him as a member of another class.
After entering the courtyard, there were snacks and tea on the table prepared yesterday, many people who followed Qin Xiucai had already sat down, and more people were busy waiting, and there were also a few people sitting there in Baibao Village, in addition to Li Ji, the general flag wearing the color of the military attaché's uniform, there were also three village elders, the three of them were barely "respectable" in the village, some family property, and the age was also reached, these three people were very restrained and sat there, as if they didn't expect to call them on this occasion.
The reason for inviting them Zhu Da wanted to get it, and he made up the number to fill the scene, but in the eyes of the villagers of Baibao Village, it was already a big scene that Xiang's house had only seen.
There are three general flags sitting in the courtyard, I heard that there is also a Xiucai, the general flag is the "big man" that most villagers can see, and the Xiucai is even more heavenly, and there are still talking about it outside, saying that the status of other characters who can sit down in the courtyard is not bad.
After Zhu Da entered the courtyard, he also saw that the senior senior master who stood in front of yesterday came, and today is not as high as yesterday, and he greeted many people in the courtyard politely, but he sat in the back seat, and so on
“...... The old Zhu family is really lucky, and he also said that the family is going to be out of business, but look at this decent ......"
“...... Long live the emperor's surname is Zhu, everything belongs to the Zhu family, can life be bad......"
“...... He's not saying it's not a Zhu ......"
Zhu Da understood what Qin Xiucai meant by such fanfare, Xiucai Qin Chuan didn't need such a scene, he did it for Zhu Da and the Zhu family.
After doing this, no one in Baibao Village dared to look down on the Zhu family, and it would be very convenient for the Zhu family to do anything, and Li Ji, the general banner, would take care of it more or less, but the most fundamental thing was to show Zhu Da, put a heavy bet on Zhu Da, and get closer to each other.
Being so valued makes Zhu Da feel very comfortable as a party, especially after his thoughts are clear, this kind of attention makes him feel a lot more confident.
Qin Xiucai took Zhu Da to meet with the people in the courtyard, the two general banners were two hundred households in the northeast of Baibao Village, as well as the second son of a certain person, the nephew of a certain squire, etc., a total of six people were introduced, and they all looked like they were all elite characters, and they should be a character in the local area, but they didn't know the relationship with Shengping Yanzhan.
Zhu Da was polite to everyone, but he also noticed the confusion in everyone's eyes and expressions, everyone had it, but the shade of concealment was different, everyone was carefully observing and looking at Zhu Da, Zhu Da knew why, these people were wondering why Qin Xiucai valued a twelve-year-old boy so much, and this young man couldn't see how good.
Qin Xiucai raised Zhu Da's father very high, and treated him as a person of the same status equally, which surprised others even more, and also made Zhu Shi at a loss, it was completely Xiucai Qin Chuan's care and leadership that did not make jokes, but Xiang Bo dealt with it much better, although his words and deeds were also very stiff.
"Can you tell? These people want to give Mr. Qin face. The adults and elders were polite, Zhu Da sat on the side, and the only person he chatted with was Zhou Qingyun.
"I can't see it." Zhou Qingyun actually didn't think much of it, he didn't care about this at all.
Zhu Da smiled and asked himself and said: "Actually, today is Mr. Qin's one-man show, everyone else is accompanied, the people on our side are fine, but the few people who came with me are not unhappy, and they are all doing their best to accompany them." ”
"You shouldn't call you father, or call your father-in-law or something, why should you still call Mr. Qin." Zhou Qingyun said something else directly.
"I'm not used to it yet." Juda said with a wry smile that he was really not used to calling other people's fathers anymore, although it was common in this day and age.
Next is the formal etiquette, Zhu Da stepped forward to kowtow to Qin Xiucai, and kowtowed to his father and master, and the elders all told him to explain a few words, Qin Xiucai gave Zhu Da a meeting gift, but it was a short sword more than a foot long, and the leather sheath inlaid with iron wire was very heavy.
This gift surprised everyone who knew how to do it, I thought that this talented Qin Chuan would give some gold and silver ornaments, but I never thought that it was such a good sword, of course, according to the price on the market, this short sword must be expensive, but it is not suitable to take it out on such a joyful occasion, this inappropriate expensive gift can only show Qin Xiucai's expectations and importance for this young man.
On such occasions, several elders who were introduced to Zhu Da by Mr. Qin also wanted to give gifts, but as soon as this short sword came out, it made the others a little embarrassed, and they looked at each other and exchanged glances, and that Fan Zongqi smiled and spoke.
"As soon as Mr. Qin's gift came out, everyone couldn't get what they had prepared." Everyone laughed along, and it can be seen from this speech that Fan Zongqi's status is the highest.
Fan Zongqi smiled and continued: "This short sword came from the old shop in Luzhou, right? Such good goods can be sold for dozens of taels of silver in Datong Mansion, if it is on the Tartar side, a few good horses can be exchanged back, Mr. Qin, you are so generous to your own children, but you also have to consider the faces of your brothers, now it is not a shame to take out this prepared thing, or we don't give it, it's good to take it back. ”
Everyone laughed again, but when he said this, it made everyone feel comfortable, Mr. Qin waved his hand and said: "It's the student who likes this child too much, and he didn't think about it for a while, you should give it, we don't have too many good things." ”
After he finished speaking, everyone laughed, but they all took out the prepared gifts, which can be used on auspicious occasions, most of them are ornaments and pendants, such as lucky stars and tigers, the workmanship is reluctant, but it is made of real silver, each of which is a few taels.
These gifts were taken out, and several guests of Baibao Village were shocked, Li Zongqi was okay, and the eyes of the three "respectable" villagers were about to pop out, no matter what shape they had, what auspicious meaning they represented, in their eyes, this was the silver of white flowers, and it looked like it was going to be more than twenty taels.
The countryside is poor, currency is in short supply, the people farm and eat, weave and dress, most of the time are self-sufficient, and the occasional needs are also bartered physical transactions, not to mention silver, even copper coins are missing, now I see so much, I really feel that it is a huge amount of money, each heart thinks, what kind of good luck did the Zhu family pay, and it was suddenly "rich and powerful", at that time it was also said that the Zhu family boy was sick because of the ghost, and now it is clear that it is possessed by the God of Wealth.
The people who came to participate in this ceremony are the military attachés of the guard and the local tyrants, they took out this gift to be real, and secondly, there is also a bit of show-off, in addition to the Fan Zongqi, several other people even have a narrow face, someone specially reminded and said: "This is a good silver build." Everyone can understand that thought, it is clear that he wants to shake the country children who have never seen the world, and wait for the other party to show an eager and even greedy look to see a joke, if you want to say how much malice this person has in his heart, it may not be, it is nothing more than a rough and heroic martial artist.
Even Li Zongqi, who was watching from the sidelines, and the three elderly villagers had similar thoughts, and their thoughts had something to do with jealousy, and it was inevitable that their hearts would be a little unbalanced when they saw the usually lonely Zhu family suddenly have such a beautiful scenery.
However, Zhu Da's performance disappointed everyone who watched the joke, a twelve-year-old boy, he should be polite like an adult, although the etiquette was a little strange, but it was neither humble nor arrogant and calm, everyone could feel it.
These rough men are not so slender and sensitive, but they also have an illusion, the healthy young man in front of him who is poorly dressed has some similarities with Mr. Qin, and even has similarities with the guards and some outstanding figures in the army, these warriors are very puzzled, and they also feel that it is their own delusion.
When Fan Zongqi came to him, Fan Zongqi was a silver peach in his hand, which is also an auspicious plaything, everyone is similar in their hands, Fu Shoulu, many sons and many blessings, people who don't understand can't see anything, Zhu Da thought a lot, but he could find that there were almost no special gifts for this ceremony, and they looked like they were all in a hurry to deal with the scene, but the value was not ambiguous, and it was enough in this countryside.
"Brother Zhu, have you been living in these hundred households?" When Fan Zongqi handed over the things, he asked with a smile.
"I've always lived here." Juda replied.
When Zhu Da turned around, he heard Fan Zongqi behind him say to Qin Xiucai: "Mr. Qin is blessed, this little brother Zhu looks like everyone is from a family, I have only seen this kind of style in Datong and Taiyuan, and it is rare to see such a character in Weili and the county." ”
In this era, not everyone can be neither humble nor arrogant, not everyone from a poor background can be calm in front of the rich and noble, because everyone knows from their bones that there is a clear distinction between respect and inferiority, they know the high and low, and they know what is high and what is the difference between cloud and mud.
But Zhu Da, who has experienced those years of life, subconsciously feels that "everyone is equal" is a matter of course, and the education he receives is also "regardless of whether he is high or low", although the reality of those years is less and less like this, and even intentionally or unintentionally moves closer to this era, the education he received since childhood is engraved in his heart and bones, and it will not change easily, so Zhu Da's natural temperament and demeanor, in the eyes of people in this era, has become graceful and outstanding, which is only available to talented and heroic.
Zhu Da returned to Qin Xiucai with the silver glittering gift, and before he could speak, he heard Qin Xiucai laugh and whisper: "You go back and prepare, and we will set off in half an hour." ”
Why is it in such a hurry? Zhu Da was stunned.
