Chapter 276: The Villager Who Dropped His Jaw
It's also a coincidence, thinking that today is the March 3rd Festival, and there is a river at the entrance of Anjia Village, and it is the most suitable to "cleanse the side bath".
Liu Qianli and the Liu family saw that the Liu family's farm work had been arranged, so they took Grandma Liu back with the ox cart early this morning.
Li Zheng Anfu suffered from typhoid fever a few days ago, and his body bones were not very good, and this morning he went to the river to fight a head, and after the meaning of "purification", he slowly returned to the door of the house and sat under the big locust tree, and was accustomed to worrying about his life, and told the little grandchildren at home, what happened by the river, and quickly ran back to call him, anyway, his old bones still have some prestige in the village.
No, it's not wrong to give one more advice.
He was close to Liu Er's family, and knew that most of the husband and wife planned to come back today, so he hurriedly asked his grandson to see if they were back, and if they came back, they would bring someone over by the way.
If so, he finally caught up in time and did not give up the honor to Liujia Village.
An Fu was panting with crutches, but seeing their county commander Zhang Mingfu and his party, An Fusheng felt that he was willing to let him run back and forth for another day, which was a great honor, and the wrinkles on his face couldn't help but smile.
The surrounding villagers also cheered, "Liu Er is here!" "Now the empress's decree has been promulgated in their home village.
The people who came to issue the holy decree from the imperial court, although they didn't understand the dialect of Sixia, but after all, it was not the language of another country, and even Meng Daichai knew that the middle-aged couple who came over should be Liu Bangshou's parents.
The official saw that Liu Qianli was tall and burly, with clear eyes, obviously different from ordinary croppers, and then looked at the Liu family on the side, and couldn't help but be surprised, there was a woman with such an excellent appearance and temperament in such a poor and remote place, which looked like a village woman, and some people believed that it was an official wife.
Sure enough, Liu Bangshou's brother and sister are not from ordinary peasant families.
The two officials who issued the holy decree nodded secretly, but in order to be foolproof, they confirmed to Zhang Mingfu on the side that it was correct, so they turned over and dismounted, respectfully greeted them, and saluted together, saying, "The two of you are the parents of Liu Chenxing and Liu Qingshan Jinshi?" ”
The people who came spoke the official dialect, and the ordinary villagers may not understand it very well, but for the two imperial examination candidates in the family, the Liu family is still the teacher of the village school, and after so many years, the official dialect of Liu Qianli and the Liu family is quite acceptable.
An Fusheng's grandson was clever, and he had already remembered Zhang Mingfu's words clearly, and he told the couple on the way to come.
At this moment, I heard the two people in official robes asking, one of them was holding a holy decree in his hand, and the other was holding a gold post in his hand, and the husband and wife glanced at each other, and then they felt a sense of reality.
Liu Qianli, as the pillar of the family, should speak, he has been setting up a stall in the county to do business, and learned the way that his daughter can speak.
He took a deep breath, and quickly crossed his hands and saluted, and said in an official language: "Correct their Aye Liu Qianli." After answering the official's words, he hurriedly confirmed again: "But they have all passed the Jinshi examination?" When this sentence was asked, his tone was unconsciously cautious, with a hint of excitement and trembling.
After the official who took the holy decree finished asking, he remembered that most of the people in this kind of poor and remote country did not understand the official language, and he wanted Zhang Mingfu to say it again from the side, but he did not expect this Liu Qianli to actually know the official language, although the accent was very strong, but at least they could understand it word for word, and I couldn't help but sigh again that the Liu brothers and sisters were not ordinary peasant children, so they were more respectful to Liu Qianli, and said: "You have raised a pair of good sons and daughters, they not only passed the provincial examination, but also became this year's new science and technology scholars, Your daughter Liu Niangzi has once again topped the list in the temple examination of the saint's main examination! This is not? In order to praise you and your wife for raising such a good daughter, the saint gave you and your wife a set of brocade clothes! As he spoke, he held up the holy decree of bright yellow brocade in his hands as a sign of respect.
It's true, everything is true.
Looking at the holy decree in the hands of the officials, Liu Qianli gasped.
The sound of inhalation came and went, and the villagers were in an uproar, "It turns out that it is the holy decree!" ”
Hearing the exclamations coming from all directions, as well as the bright yellow holy decree in front of them, Liu Qianli and the Liu family no longer doubted it.
Liu Shi turned her back and covered her mouth and nose, she tried desperately to restrain herself, but the whimper still overflowed.
It did, and her daughter did!
did what she once hoped for but couldn't do, and did better than she imagined.
How many days and nights, such a small person, no matter the heat or winter, there is not a day when he does not get up so early to practice calligraphy.
It's not that she doesn't know that there are many people in the village who laugh at her back, just a little lady, who reads so many books and can recognize a word.
Even if the trajectory of her life makes her know that the world is unfair, it doesn't matter if a little lady reads so many books, she can't bear to let her daughter down, she was born and cut off her way to study, how can she let her daughter be like this again, so even if she is tired and tired, she is not afraid, even if her daughter is still just an ordinary little lady who can read and write, it doesn't matter, she just wants to do her best to make her daughter realize her dream of studying for the imperial examination, which is also her dream.
I haven't seen her for two years, and my daughter should have grown into a girl by now.
I don't know how I spent the past two years in Chang'an, but I guess I have endured a lot of hardships to achieve today's results.
Liu thinks about his daughter, day and night, and he also misses his son.
Thinking of a pair of children, she was busy wiping away the tears on her face and asked, "The imperial examination has also been completed, so they have to go back to ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he remembered that his brother Liu Wensu had not returned for ten years since he went to Chang'an, and most of his sons and daughters were not allowed to return, and Liu's eyes darkened.
Zhang Mingfu has the heart to tie up Liu Chenxing's family, maybe he will be able to transfer to Chang'an one day, even if it is the lowest nine grades, this time seeing the Liu family's gloom, he hurriedly comforted: "Madam, don't miss it too much, the sage treats Liu Bangshou very differently, knowing that Liu Bangshou is not a person from Chang'an, Chang'an is worth a thousand gold, many officials may not be able to afford a house in Chang'an, but the saint specially rewarded Liu Bangshou with a house." ”
Before the words fell, the surrounding villagers were already shocked.
"The house costs a thousand dollars? How much does that cost! ”
"A house that even officials can't afford to buy? What kind of house is that! ”
"It turns out that studying for the imperial examination can make so much money!"
Zhang Mingfu listened to the surrounding discussions with satisfaction, he had the heart to make faces for Liu Er and his wife, so he continued to say in Hebei dialect: "I still think that Liu Bangshou has been away from home for two years, and I gave Liu Bangshou a full ten taels of gold as the cost of returning home!" Counting the days, Liu Bangshou is estimated to be on his way back now! “
