This is a true portrayal of Fuzhou, because Sichuan has a large population base, many students, few talents, and many strange talents and partial talents. Xiucai was admitted to the state government, so for various reasons, Zhongxiucai was very simple, but it was difficult to go to Chengdu to take the exam.
After all, Yang Sanlao is a member of the government, although he is only a village elder, but after all, he is also a child, and he has traveled a lot with the government, so he knows much more things than the farmers around him.
It is estimated that there is nothing else to do to guard Wenqu Xing, Yang Sanlao is also bored these days, and he can't stop as soon as he opens his mouth, and he is stunned to say all the things in Fuzhou.
Fuzhou, which belongs to Chongqing Prefecture, is a relatively large state under Chongqing. That is, the current hometown of mustard, Chongqing Fuling, plus longevity and Wulong. It is a city in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River route.
"Alas, your baby is smart, if that didn't happen, you should go to Mengxue and go to the village school now." Touching Gao Zhong's head, Yang Sanlao sighed: "However, your aunt is afraid that you will not be allowed to enter the academy......"
The sun has sunk, the sunset is red, and the peasant woman has already returned from the field with a hoe on her back, and she is apologetic: "I'm bothering you today, this kid, didn't disturb Wenquxing, right?" ā
Yang Sanlao waved his hand: "No, no." This kid is honest, alas, he just didn't speak, it's a pity that ......"
The peasant woman picked up the basket on her back, sighed and said goodbye to Yang Sanlao, and then took advantage of the sunset to walk in the direction of home.
The Gao family is similar to a normal farmhouse, a low mud house, covered with thatch, a cowshed on one side, a pigsty on the other, no yard, and only a piece of land is leveled as a dam for autumn drying.
The peasant woman carried Gao Zhong on her back to the door of the house, and saw a stout man standing at the door, rubbing his hands together, and his expression was very uneasy.
Seeing that the farmer had returned, the man trotted in front of the farmer: "Lady, brother-in-law, they are here!" ā
This man's name is Gao Wei, a man who grows very strong as his name, and he is also honest, and he works as a coolie in Fuzhou City when he is not working, and he should have just returned from the city when he saw him dressed in a short fight.
"How did they get here?"
Hearing this, the peasant woman's expression changed, and she put down the basket directly, frowned, and walked quickly towards the house.
Gao Wei also immediately greeted him, hugged Gao Zhong out of the basket, and then followed behind the peasant woman with a frown.
When I entered the door, there were four adults and a fat child of seven or eight years old, who were sitting around the table and eating dinner, which was very rich, with wine and meat, and the seven or eight-year-old child was clutching a pig's trotter with his fat little hand and gnawing wildly on the side.
"Anwazi, you slow down, there are still miles here after eating!"
Sitting next to the fat boy was a gray-haired old woman, who wiped the corners of the little fat man's mouth with a handkerchief and said with a smile.
"Mother, you come to eat too, don't worry about An Wazi, this kid has eaten well recently, and he can't be hungry."
At this moment, the other woman at the table also opened her mouth, this woman also looked like she was from a peasant family, but her dress was much better than that of Gao Zhong's mother, although it was not as good as any silk silk, but it was much better than ordinary peasant women.
The old woman smiled, glanced at the old farmer beside her, and gently bumped her body, and the old man pulled out a puff of dry tobacco and smiled.
Seeing this, a scribe sitting next to the woman gently shook the folding fan and grinned.
The whole meal was not only rich, but also very warm, and it was so happy under the light of the oil lamp.
"Daddy, Daddy. Eldest sister and brother-in-law, you are also here? ā
The peasant woman walked into the house, glanced inside the house, and said with a frown.
The family eats and drinks well here, but it is too much to separate their man from themselves.
"Sister is back, you sit down, Brother Sheng brought some food, let's eat together."
Seeing the peasant woman, the corners of the woman's mouth were slightly the same, showing a disdainful smile, and said to the woman in a cold tone.
At this time, Gao Wei also walked in with Gao Zhong in his arms, and when he saw everything in the house, Gao Wei stood aside with his head down, and Gao Zhong looked at everything in the room with wide eyes.
The two old men sitting on the main seat are Gao Zhong's grandparents, because Gao Wei is a wealthy relationship, so he should be called grandparents. And the gorgeously dressed woman was Gao Zhong's aunt Zhou, the scribe was Gao Zhong's uncle Zhou Sheng, and the fat boy was the child of the two of them named Zhou An.
Uncle Zhou Sheng is a showman, the only showman in Huangjuezui Village, and he is also a teacher in the township school, it can be said that his status in the entire Huangjuezui Village is not low, and Xiucai's identity is already the most influential person in the village.
In fact, this week's life was just a poor scholar before, and he took the government examination many times without a single test, and he has been living in poverty.
It is for this reason that the Gao family does not like this scholar's son-in-law, but hates it a little. Because he has no children under his knees, and the eldest son-in-law is a poor scholar, there is no way for the old man Gao to recruit Gao Wei, because Gao Wei is strong and strong, has the strength of a stick, and suffers hardships for others, is good, and is obedient.
According to the farmer's view, it is a very lucky thing to have a son-in-law like Gao Wei to get rich, not only the labor is guaranteed, but also down-to-earth, there are no elders in the family, and there should be no problem in the future, and this son-in-law has a child every two years as soon as he starts, and he is still a man, with the surname of the Gao family.
Originally, all this was a very fortunate thing in the eyes of the villagers, but at this time, things suddenly changed.
The eldest son-in-law who didn't make a weapon actually won the show talent overnight, although he was only on the last list and didn't enjoy the treatment of a young man, he was just an ordinary show talent, but this is also a show talent!
All of a sudden, Zhou Sheng's identity changed dramatically, and at this time, the teaching gentleman of the village school retired due to illness, and in order to better let the children in the village receive better treatment, he invited Zhou Sheng to teach at the village school. Huang Juezui's township school is a fat shortage, there is no township school in the surrounding villages, ten miles and eight villages want to get ahead can only go to the township school to read and write, which is a lot of income for a year, plus the New Year's holidays, two birthdays and three festivals Some parents give gift money, it is also a lot of money.
So, because Zhou Sheng is a talent and the only teacher in the village, his status has improved rapidly, which also makes him a little fluttery.
With status, Zhou Sheng's next plan is to use tweezers to get money. He looked around the whole village, and finally determined his goal, his father-in-law!
The Gao family is the old man in Huangjuezui Village, although they are bitter farmers like ordinary farmers, but the land of the old Gao family is the best in the whole Huangjuezui, the soil is thick, and the crops grown are very robust, which makes people look greedy.
Coupled with the fact that he had been blinded by many fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law before, now is the time to take revenge, thinking of the fertile land, and the pleasure of revenge, Zhou Shengdang even instigated his mother-in-law to start acting.
So Zhou Sheng showed the appearance of a Confucian monk in the eyes of the world, and actually treated his mother-in-law well, and suddenly became the spokesperson of a good son-in-law in the village.
Compared with the current Golden Beetle son-in-law, this Gao Wei is naturally a big difference, coupled with a series of provocations by Zhou Sheng and his eldest daughter, Gao Wei suddenly became a representative of the unsuccessful weapon, and he was disgusted by all kinds.
"Here," Gao glanced at his daughter, then at Gao Wei and Gao Zhong, who looked stupid, and showed an impatient expression: "Sit down." ā
The tone is stiff and cold, and the action also shows disdain and hatred, now that I think about it, it is better to follow the eldest daughter, eat meat and drink wine every day, and follow this son-in-law to be bitter in the field every day haha.
After listening to Gao's words, the peasant woman and Gao Wei sat down on the table.
Gao Wei was still holding Gao Zhong, Gao Zhong's eyes rolled, and he glanced at Zhou Sheng.
According to the memory of the former Gao Zhong, Gao Zhong fell into the water and was pushed down the ditch, and it was no one else who pushed Gao Zhong into the water, it was this Zhou Sheng.
Now that he has watched Zhou Sheng do this, Gao Zhong also understands what this person wants to do.
Seeing Gao Zhong sit down, staring at him with a pair of dark and huge eyes, Zhou Sheng's body trembled for a moment, but looking at Gao Zhong's still thoughtful face quickly drove away the fear in his heart.
"By the way, An Wazi is going to the township school tomorrow to study, and according to her brother's ability, she will definitely be a talent in the future!" At this time, Zhou opened his mouth and said proudly to the peasant woman: "In the future, Anwazi will be a showman and a lifter, and Zhongwazi will plow the land and guard the ancestral land!" ā
When Zhou spoke, he didn't forget to belittle Gao Zhong, the meaning was obvious, now he needs to rely on Zhou Sheng to go to school, but they won't give Gao Zhong a chance, and in the future, this kid will still be able to divide the land.
Hearing this, Gao's complexion changed, and the look in his eyes when he looked at his eldest son-in-law was even more fond of it.
Hearing this, Gao Wei lowered his head, and his face darkened. In fact, a few days ago, Gao Wei was ready to let Gao Zhong learn from him, and at that time, the old gentleman in the township school was not sick, and he liked Gao Zhong, a smart baby. But who didn't think that everything would change all of a sudden after the old teacher fell ill.
The old gentleman of the village school is gone, and his son is just like that.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, in fact, there is still one thing to tell you when my son-in-law comes today, and it just so happens that my sister and brother-in-law are also here, so I will say it directly."
Zhou Sheng first observed the expressions of Old Man Gao and Gao, then shook the folding fan in his hand and changed Zhou's expression, and said to everyone slowly.
