Chapter 19: Returning to Home
"Okay, if you have such confidence, then I will take you to Leizhou Mansion. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info," Yang Xiaoxiao agreed.
The child has such confidence, that is also a good thing, although the child is said to have missed the children's test, but he has such confidence in himself, if he can be admitted to Tong Cheng, it is also a blessing, in the future, you can directly skip the children's test, you can take the township test, and strive for the position of the showman.
……
The day after the children's list was posted.
After the beginning of the year, the dead trees are in spring, and the spring flowers bloom.
In the morning, the sky was drizzling, and a luxuriously decorated carriage, escorted by a dozen officials, left the county office, crossed the blue brick streets, and left the county seat.
Inside the carriage, Yang Xiaoxiao opened the curtains in the carriage and squinted his eyes, looking at the scene rushing by outside.
All the way forward, the scenery behind can no longer appear in front of you, just like life, once you miss some things, you can't come back.
Yang Xiaoxiao thought that like many students, he would go to college, then come out to work, find a girlfriend, get married, have children, and spend his life ordinarily, but he never thought that once he woke up from a dream, he actually appeared in ancient times, and became Yang Xiaoxiao, who was only more than ten years old.
Sitting in this carriage, Yang Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think of a poem by Wang Wei.
Alone in a foreign land as a stranger, every festival to miss relatives!
I don't know how my parents are doing in the 21st century, and whether they will be heartbroken because of their disappearance, Yang Xiaoxiao closed her eyes slightly, not daring to think about it anymore; On a better side, I think about whether I am still on the train now, and what I am experiencing now is just a dream of Nanke, and after waking up, I will go home, and there are still old fathers and mothers with kind faces at home.
The carriage continued to move forward under the driver's drive, flanked by escorted officials, and in the forefront, two officials held signs, one side saying "quiet" and the other side "evasive", and at the same time sounded the gong to open the way.
This is the ceremony for the students to get the middle school, add official clothes, and return to their hometowns in brocade clothes.
As far as Yang Xiaoxiao is concerned, he has only heard that there is a champion to sound the gong to open the way, and the brocade clothes return to their hometown, if it is not in ancient times, Yang Xiaoxiao does not know that in addition to the champion, children, talents, and people all have such a ceremony, and all those who win the top of the list are qualified to sound the gong to open the way, and the brocade clothes return to their hometown.
Yang Xiaoxiao was supposed to go to Leizhou Mansion tomorrow to register, and only after assigning his position could he officially return to his hometown, but the clue to Yang Tang's death was suddenly broken, and Yang Xiaoxiao had to apply to Chen Jiuying to return to his hometown in advance.
The laws of Southern Wu are strict, but they are also deeply influenced by the previous dynasties, and a situation like Yang Xiaoxiao can actually be decided by himself and is not within the jurisdiction of the law. Even if it is a new champion, sometimes it will be rewarded by the emperor, but Jinjie gives a tour for three days, but whether to travel or not depends on the new champion's move.
The sound of the gong is like the thunder of the nine heavens, rolling in all directions, the villages passed, the towns passed, the officials encountered, the people encountered, and the merchants encountered, all consciously retreated to the side of the road, stood firm, and watched the glorious procession.
This is one of the ancient heavy laws, to get the glory of returning, sound the gong to open the way, no matter who has to avoid, do not avoid, the return of the official, can temporarily have the right to cut first and then play, so that there are often "stop the sedan chair to complain" The thing happens, in this case, the honest official will use this temporary right to cut first and then play to wash away the people's grievances, and the people's grievances. And the official who has this privilege must at least be the last official, and if there is a talent or a child who is not an official product, he does not have the right to cut first and then play, but he can report to the county government and the government office.
Of course, there is no shortage of high-ranking officials who oppress people with power, such officials are generally monstrous, and in the imperial court, they are not today's celebrities, but the forces behind them are extremely terrifying.
In the team, there is a banner with the word "Tong", which represents that the "official" who returned this time is a child.
The team of honorable returns stopped not far from Yang Village, and the officials who played the gong in front of them struck the gong even harder, and the two officials came out and came straight to the carriage, and actually lifted the carriage on the carriage, and looked closely, this carriage was a sedan chair.
The sedan chair was carried down and carried by two servants, and the coachman also came down from the groom's seat to play the role of steward.
"Get up the sedan chair, start the gong, and go." The groom stood by the window of the sedan chair and shouted.
Just ...... The gong sounded loudly, and all the officials slowly set off towards Yang Village.
In the Yangcun area, the men were fishing at sea, and the women were working at home, only to hear the sound of gongs, like the sound of thunder, rolling, and suddenly, almost everyone forgot the work at hand.
"Someone has returned......"
I don't know who shouted first.
"It's back......"
"It's back......"
The fishing men pulled the fishing boats back to the berth, and hurried to the village before they even had time to pack up the fishing tools, and the women also stopped their work, walked out of the house, and came to the entrance of the village, waiting with joyful faces.
"Your boy is back, congratulations......"
A woman came to Liu Niangzi and Wang Fulian's side and said.
"Rejoice, rejoice!" Mrs. Liu replied with a smile.
"Aunt Wei, I heard that your kid is not bad, even if he can't get a middle school child, a Tong Cheng can't run." Wang Fulian also said with a smile.
"If your master is promoted, my useless boy will definitely be able to win a Tong Cheng, and then there will be Mrs. Yang to blow the pillow wind!" Aunt Wei said with a smile.
In ancient times, people with meritorious names were generally called "lords" and "ladies", and in addition, some wealthy businessmen were also called "outsiders".
The words of the aunt of the Wei family just fell, and it aroused the dissatisfaction of others, including a woman: "How can your kid be recommended by Yang Tongsheng, if he is also recommended by my boy, if my kid gets the position of Tongcheng, I am willing to give three hundred taels of silver." This woman is very arrogant and is the richest man in Yang Village.
Tong Sheng was able to recommend Tong Cheng, which was also what Yang Xiaoxiao had just learned from Chen Jiuying, after all, he had never been to the so-called "study", and no one had mentioned it to him, so naturally he didn't know that Tong Sheng could recommend Tong Cheng.
This made Yang Xiaoxiao sigh at the shrewdness of the child, and the child asked Yang Xiaoxiao to bring it to Leizhou Mansion, what a profound meaning.
The child knows very well that if he follows Yang Xiaoxiao, even if he fails to make the list, if Yang Xiaoxiao still has a place to be promoted, he can ask Yang Xiaoxiao for a recommendation.
It's just that why such a shrewd child would make such a reckless move after discovering Yang Tang's death really made Yang Xiao puzzled.
Didn't you really respond to the fact that when the good horse also stumbled, the prodigy also made mistakes?
