Chapter 177: Celebrating His Birthday and Encountering the Lady Show Group (Third Update)
If it is said that Songmingshan is only famous in the whole She County and even Huizhou Mansion because of Wang Daokun, then Xucun is a genuine and long-standing and famous person. The history here can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and in the Song Dynasty, such as Wang Anshi, Ouyang Xiu, and other thunderous celebrities, all used to make genealogies and write lineage tables for the Xu celebrities here, and Zhu Xi Wen Tianxiang also had a corresponding preface and left behind. Compared with the memorial arch of Songming Mountain, there are simply many memorial arches, ancient houses everywhere, and if you meet a half-grown child, you may be able to open your mouth to say a lot of well-known people on your ancestors.
Even the Xu family on Doosan Street originated in Xu Village, not to mention the major tribes that thrived out of it.
Therefore, Wang Fulin and his entourage don't have to ask where Mrs. Xu's house is, because this day is a birthday, as long as they follow the place with the most people, it will be right.
A Fangxi River passes through Xucun from northwest to southeast, and after so many years of development, it is said to be a village, but in fact it has long exceeded the scale of ordinary towns. Both sides of the stone road are typical Hui-style houses, come in from the entrance of the village, cross the Shengping Bridge, Wang Fulin and his party have passed through several archways, behind each one, is a mansion with white walls and tiles, one of them, the villagers give up their names and do not call it, only called the big Bang Bodi. Just look at the pomp of the four pillars, three bays and five eaves of the gatehouse, and it turned out to be the words inscribed by a generation of great Confucians, Wang Fulin even thought that it was a university scholar, but when he asked, he knew that the original owner was just a prefect!
But this is a prefect with outstanding political achievements and is praised by everyone!
As for the way forward, there are even more of those various torii. Finally. The crowd arrived at the Gaoyang Covered Bridge across the Fangxi River. It's a bridge of wind and rain. Due to the large number of people in front, Wang Fulin waited for the time to cross the bridge, took the time to look at the inscription next to the bridge, and then knew that the bridge was originally a stone pier wooden bridge, which was changed to a stone arch bridge during the Hongzhi period, and in the Jiajing period, the corridor house was added again. Pedestrians are thus protected from the wind, sun and rain.
There are seven of these porch houses, and you can walk in them and see the scenery of the river outside through the elaborate flower windows, with a shrine of Yongzhen Anliu in the middle, painted dragons and phoenixes on the roof, and benches on both sides for people to rest. Ye Xiaopang, who came for the first time, couldn't help but be amazed, pulling Jinbao and Qiu Feng to mutter.
After this Gaoyang Covered Bridge, it is Shuangshou Chengenfang.
This stone archway has four pillars and three rooms, which is as high as a three-story building, and the two sides of the pillar are carved with a lion running figure. The columns, beams, arches, and partitions are all carved in a variety of ways, but the most striking ones are. But it's still the first word. Because it was built last year, this new memorial arch has not experienced too much wind and rain, and stands majestically at the moment, with a domineering momentum.
And when you get here, the road is simply impassable. Although Wang Fulin is among the people, there is also the daughter of Ye County's son, who is the official of She County's parents, according to the usual principles, of course, he can be the first to pass, but at this time, if he is forced to make way for people, it will be against the original intention of coming to celebrate his birthday today. Therefore, after Wang Fulin asked Ye Mingyue's opinion, he agreed, and he didn't like the congestion on the road, so he slowly followed in the crowd, and at the same time gave full play to the characteristics of the small mouth and sweetness, inquired about the origin of the people around him, and then pulled the relationship and talked about family life, anyway, in his opinion, it was good to use this as a time to kill time.
After a while, I knew everything before and after, he was the famous Wang Xiaoxiucai, after Wang Daokun took office, the representative of the Wang family of Songming Mountain.
On the contrary, Ye Xiaopang is not so popular. The magistrate only has one term, at most three years, but the eunuch is like no accident, and he has been a local hero all his life, so even if Wang Fulin will introduce him, Ye Gongzi, others are also respectful and polite, but if you want to talk about warmth, it is far less than to Wang Xiaoguan. Ye Xiaopang is not good at this, and after talking to people for a word or two, he watched people pull Wang Xiaoguan's trap and almost go.
Finding that Wang Fulin was good at dancing with long sleeves and maneuvering between various characters, he sighed and whispered to Jinbao: "Jinbao, your father is really good at dealing with people. When I was in Zhuangyuan Building before, when I was in Pine Garden, I was taught those words with a clear eye, I was two years younger than him, why can't I say those two-sided words? ”
Isn't it just talking about people when you see people, and talking nonsense when you see ghosts?
Xiaobei, who was riding on a horse, secretly slandered himself. With the light at the height of the horse, she could see the surging crowd in front of her spread all the way to the glamorous mansion. Although no one cared about her entourage, she could hear all kinds of discussions clearly. Although she never came here when she was a child, but at the beginning of Ye Junyao's tenure, she followed Ye Mingyue, Xu Jiajiu, Miss Xu Wei, and a few daughters of the Yixiang Society to Xu Village, of course she knew that there were celebrities here.
As for the old lady Xu, he is a legendary figure, he was not a teacher in his early years, and he also served as a lawyer who wrote pleadings for others, and later accumulated thousands of family businesses and funded many students in the same village. For example, that Xu Hanlin was funded by Mrs. Xu at the beginning, so that he was able to solve the yuan in one fell swoop, and then the title of the gold list was Hanlin. Having said that, the eldest lady of the Xu family is actually quite good, but she is a little ......
"Xiaobei, is it Xiaobei?"
Xiao Bei was stunned for a moment when she heard someone calling her, and when she looked around, she quickly found the person who spoke. But I saw a hand waving in a small sedan chair not far behind her. Although the difference was only a dozen steps away, in such a traffic jam, even if she had heard who the voice was, she still couldn't go over, and she didn't dare to expose her female disguise as a man. And Ye Mingyue in the sedan chair saw Xiaobei bending down on the horse and explaining the situation to herself, and she was even more helpless.
This one is really ...... Calling people out in public, and calling a teenager who looks like a small guy, isn't he afraid to turn around and speculate outside?
Wang Fulin heard someone calling Xiaobei, he turned his head on the sliding rod, and also saw the hand stretched out from the small sedan chair. The voice was vaguely familiar, and then he recognized the person who poked his head out but quickly retracted it, and he finally recognized the person. Of course he has no opinion on the innocent but old-fashioned Miss Xu Jiajiu, but when he thinks of the experience of being watched by those little girls led by Xu Wei in the Xu family. He was a little stunned again. At this moment, I can't help but think about it. After paying homage today, I quickly found Cheng Naixuan to go to Xu Hanlin's house, and then immediately slipped away.
As for Cheng Naixuan, after he glanced back, he saw that the sedan chair was lost in the carriage, so he just raised his eyebrows suspiciously.
I don't know how long it took for this group to finally move to the foot of Shuangshou Cheng'en Fang, and the gate is in sight. Here there are servants of the Xu family here to welcome guests and receive posts. When Wang Fulin handed the post in his hand, the servant quickly glanced at it and immediately smiled all over his face. When he saw Cheng Naixuan's post, the smile on his face became even bigger: "Wang Xiaoguan, Cheng Xiaoxianggong, please ...... inside"
Wang Fulin took a step out of the way, and invited Ye Xiaopang, who got off the sliding rod, to step forward: "It's not just me and Brother Cheng, Ye County is on official business, so I sent Ye Gongzi and Miss Ye to celebrate his birthday together." In addition, there are also Qi Baihu. ”
I heard that the county respected a pair of children to celebrate their birthdays. There are also hundreds of households of the Qi family's army, and the servant was stunned at first. Then he hurriedly put aside the next sentence please wait a while, and then rushed inside with a puff of smoke. After a while, he came out with a middle-aged man. The man was dressed in a royal blue silk jacket, and he looked very dignified. As soon as he met him, he first made amends, and then even said to the other guests in front of him, and directly led the Ye family sisters and brothers, Wang Fulin and others in. As he left, he also said apologetically: "If I had known that the county lord and you were so kind, I should have greeted you first, so as not to wait so long outside." ”
"When my father came, I told me that since I sincerely congratulated the old lady on her birthday, I had to have the sincerity to celebrate my birthday."
Ye Xiaopang's words were taught by Ye Mingyue, and he said it very smoothly at the moment. Although he is fat and round, this image looks quite pleasing, and his words are sincere, and Xu Youlin, the grandson of Mrs. Xu, who greeted him in person, has a good impression of him. And the other people in the company are also people who can talk, including Qi Liang, a former battlefield general. Therefore, when most of the birthday worshippers were still waiting, their group of people had already entered the house, and Shun Shun came to the front of Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Song.
With a slip of the auspicious words, Wang Fulin looked at the two and smiled brightly, although the words were not very clear, but the husband and wife could still see the tacit understanding between each other, and they couldn't help but feel that this couple was really not easy. It's hard to live a long life this year, let alone a husband and wife who live a long life together? Moreover, it is full of children and grandchildren, rich and glorious, and it is so happy.
After all, it's not the younger generation of the family, do a few more long-term changes, say a few more nice words, and offer a birthday gift by the way, and this birthday greeting is considered to be in the past. And Mrs. Xu, who is the birthday star, actually smiled and rewarded each of them with a red envelope, in line with the principle of the elders, Wang Fulin accepted it after two sentences.
And because of today's big scene, almost every family surnamed Xu in Xu Village came to help, and everyone had a job, either to help place guests, or to help serve tea and water, to manage the banquet and so on. And the person who was responsible for entertaining Wang Fulin was "no coincidence", but it was Xu Hanlin's brother-in-law Hu. At this moment, before the luncheon started, she smiled and invited everyone to go to her house first, and come to the table later.
For such an invitation, Wang Fulin only felt that he was in the right place, and seeing Cheng Naixuan's delicate face, he secretly gave this guy an elbow blow, and then immediately agreed. Ye Mingyue had already been to Xu Hanlin's house, and she didn't have a word, but Qi Liang wanted to walk around Xu Village again, Ye Xiaopang immediately pulled Jinbao and Qiu Feng, and proposed to follow Qi Liang to take a look, and when she saw Wang Fulin and Ye Mingyue nodding her head, she was overjoyed.
Hu led the way, and everyone did not go out through the main gate of the Xu family, but through a side door, and walked a stone's throw along a fire road. The hustle and bustle of the old lady's house in the other side of the room immediately disappeared, and was replaced by the quiet and peaceful side of the room. As soon as Hu Shi explained, everyone learned that most of the Xu family's families living near Shuangshou Chengenfang were related to each other, and they were connected by a fire road, so that they could walk around without going out of the gate during the day, and they could also watch and help each other if there was anything going on at night. At this point, everyone parted ways, Qi Liang and Ye Xiaopang Jinbao Qiufeng went out, but the rest continued to go inside.
When Wang Fulin followed Hu Shi into a courtyard, in an instant, this peaceful atmosphere was disturbed by many warblers and Yanyan.
Suddenly, Wang Fulin saw the curtain of the door swaying, and five or six festively dressed girls came out of the hall, led by Xu Wei. After listening to Hu's explanation, he knew that these Miss Sun of the Xu family on Doosan Street, because there were too many people waiting for their birthday, did not enter the Xu family's mansion, but arrived here in advance.
Seeing that Ye Mingyue hurriedly beckoned Xiaobei to take off the men's six-hat hat, pulled Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei, and stepped forward with a smile to meet the members of the gossip show, and after a while, everyone entered the hall, Wang Fulin slapped Cheng Naixuan, who was a little cowering, and reminded in a low voice angrily: "Cheer up, don't forget what I did with you today!" ”
Cheng Naixuan woke up with a spirit, and seeing that Hu was still beside him, he mustered up the courage to step forward and said: "Third wife, I came today, and my grandmother and mother instructed me to pay a visit to ......."
Before he finished speaking, Hu Shi pursed his lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law is in the hall, if you and Wang Xiaoguan want to go in, just report at the door." ”
At this time, even Wang Fulin had a headache. I don't know how many ladies are crowded in that room, but after a while, I will go in, and I can see who is who? Not to mention snooping on what temperament and character! Moreover, he is not afraid of being watched by people now, but he is most afraid of being watched by a group of little girls!
