Chapter 172 - Lu Xiucai
Anyuan County, Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Lu Xiu had just woken up when the roar of his once gentle and lovely wife came from outside the door......
"Lu Zhongqing, how to drop! Do you want your wife to wake you up? ”
Lu Xiucai wanted to lie in bed and couldn't hear his wife's words, but the result disappointed him!
The fierce wife of the family walked into the room while holding the fire tongs and looked at the posture...... Whichever fire-burning tong will be poked into the cover.
Lu Xiucai, who couldn't bear it any longer, hurriedly jumped up......
Since Jiangxi was occupied by the Patriotic Army, it has been almost a year of hard work now, in this year, the life of Lu Xiucai's family, it is really Wang Xiaoer's New Year, a year is not as good as a year!
is a little sad, it is simply impossible to export, in Lu Xiucai's mind, the hatred for the Weiguo Army and Zhang Yun is really poured into the water of the three rivers and four seas, and it cannot be washed away.
Once upon a time, the students in the county did not say that they were respectful in all directions wherever they went! But at least it won't be like it is now, it's like a rat crossing the street, and you won't be welcomed anywhere!
Even the neighbors who used to be polite to him, as well as all the relatives, have changed their faces.
Let the young Lu Xiucai feel the warmth and coldness of the people in advance, and the world is like frost!
Even his wife has become like this now, this kind of change is really a little unacceptable to Lu Xiucai, and he said that he would study hard for ten years...... Said that the good dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall. All this was blown away by the rain and wind......
Because the Patriotic Army does not need old-fashioned scholars, they only need veterans from their own army to hold official positions at all levels.
That is to say, no matter how much you study now, you can't get an official position, and the Four Books and Five Classics have really become a kind of waste-like existence, and the consequence of all this is that the former pride of heaven has completely lost all sources of money, all hopes, and of course, the former status no longer exists!
Now even Tian Shelang in a field dares to show his teeth at Lu Xiucai!
And the consequence of all this is that Lu Xiucai, who used to be able to keep his hands from staining the spring water at home, now has to take care of the housework under the coercion roar of the Hedong lion.
In the past, I couldn't do it myself...... This kind of dirty thing that was once disdained has finally fallen on Lu Xiucai's head.
……
One hand covered his nose with a long lining, and the other hand went to water rice Tiangong, Lu Xiucai was tortured by this work.
I wanted to throw this dung bucket down, but I was afraid that my wife would not keep food for me, so I thought of eating, and then looked back at the dung bucket in front of me......
"Vomit ......"
As soon as the scene on the dinner table in his mind overlapped with the dung bucket in front of him, Lu Xiucai couldn't bear it anymore, so the gruel he drank last night suddenly gushed out!
After turning to the side and vomiting, Lu Xiucai couldn't care about decency anymore, and finally took off the long lining that never left his body and threw it aside, leaving only the short lining on his body.
Next, just as Lu Xiucai wanted to continue to splash feces, complete the task as soon as possible, and go home to drink porridge, you must know that you haven't eaten yet......
But at this moment, the mother-in-law was in the village and called her name, Lu Xiucai was overjoyed, could it be that this mother-in-law finally changed her mind? Have you become as virtuous as ever?
Lu Xiucai, who was excited, threw the dung spoon in an instant, and after rushing a few steps in the direction of the village, he paused again, thought about it and turned back, and put the long lining on his body again.
Since the mother-in-law has reverted to the previous ...... Then the dignity that you have thrown away, but you have to pick it up again, so this long lining is indispensable!
I ran back to my house excitedly, but I saw several small officials in the town sitting in their own halls, while their mother-in-law was serving them tea, very attentive.
Seeing this scene, Lu Xiucai's heartbeat instantly changed from sixty beats per minute to one hundred and twenty beats per minute, and his face was extremely ruddy......
What is it?
Could it be that the Patriotic Army finally knew their knowledge, and their group of Qiu Ba found that they were really unable to herd, so they finally couldn't help but come forward and ask themselves to be officials?
How long have you been waiting for this day? At this moment, Lu Xiucai wanted to cry out loud.
Thinking that when the Patriotic Army had just entered Jiangxi, everyone thought that the imperial court would soon counterattack and quell the rebellion, but after waiting for almost a year, this day did not come, but the news of the imperial court becoming more and more decaying came out.
Even the city of Beijing was broken by the Taiping traitors again, and in an instant, the loyal ministers and filial sons of the Manchu court immediately cried bitterly, including Lu Xiucai, and their future food and clothing parents were gone!
After all, in the past five thousand years, there has never been a court whose capital has been broken twice by traitors and has been able to restart the prosperous era again.
Later, as the position of the Patriotic Army became more and more stable, the scholars like Lu Xiucai all sat firmly on the hook fish platform, waiting for the Patriotic Army to come to the door and beg them to come forward to help them do things!
After all, in the eyes of all scholars, the Patriotic Army is just a group of bandits, from a humble background, and there is no herdsman's strategy at all......
But Lu Xiucai waited at home for a year, but the Patriotic Army was becoming more and more stable, and there was no rebellion in the local area!
All the landlords and gentry and good families were all ruthlessly suppressed, and all the bandits and bullies were sent to mine and build roads, including their families, and the Patriotic Army implemented a policy of extermination!
In Lu Xiucai's eyes, these are all perverse policies, but they did not provoke a popular uprising, so that almost all the scholars fell into the eyeballs......
And the consequence of all this is that with the passage of time, the people around him, who originally had a little respect for him, gradually became cynical after seeing that he had no hope of making a comeback, including his parents and relatives.
But all this has passed, Lu Xiucai straightened up the long line, took square steps, walked straight into his own hall, and bowed deeply to the few small officials in the town who were sitting: "I don't know what happened to the students' house today, my lords?" ”
At this time, the mayor surnamed Li, who was in the lead, finally put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Lu Xiucai and said, "How many times have you said it, don't call yourself a student anymore, what's the matter!" Thought it was the Manchu era? ”
After reprimanding him, Mayor Li said again: "You used to be out of production, and now you are living a difficult life, no, we have a piece of news from above, your day of emergence will come soon, and you won't need to deal with the fields in the future!" ”
"That is, seeing that you are living a difficult life, so Lao Tzu wants to pull you along, otherwise if you look at Sun Xiucai's house in the next village, Lao Tzu will not go, only come to your house, so ah, you will be developed in the future, don't be ungrateful, forget Lao Tzu's ......"
And when I heard that it was Lu Xiucai, who was really looking for himself to be an official, at this moment, I felt that the sunshine was so brilliant!
said again and again: "That won't be, your kindness to Mayor Li, learn ...... The small one will never be forgotten no matter what, and please rest assured Mayor Li that the small one has read poetry books for ten years, and he definitely knows etiquette and shame. ”
"Hmm!"
At this time, Mayor Li saw that Lu Xiucai was very upright, and finally the only one that could not be checked hummed, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
continued: "After receiving the order from above, I want to send you, the scholars who stayed in the pre-Qing Dynasty, of course, specifically Xiucai and Tongsheng, after all, Juren and Jinshi, as masters, have already been suppressed, so all of you Xiucai and Tongsheng from poor backgrounds will be sent to Sanya, Hainan, so you students from poor backgrounds are finally turning over!" ”
"Let's come here today, mainly to say hello to you, and the second is that the time is urgent, so you can pack your luggage now and set off immediately......"
