Chapter Seventy-Six: Happy New Year

The four fathers and sons of the Liu family were at a stalemate, and the table was quiet, and the conversation between the brother and sister clearly reached everyone's ears.

Uncle Liu obviously didn't know about the ranking, let alone Liu Wensu, he was stunned for a moment, so he didn't care about the reparation, and hurriedly asked, "What?" Liu Xiaolang has also passed, or the first place!? How can it be! Why aren't there any guests? ”

Between the words, he obviously didn't believe that Liu Wensu was at the top of the high school list.

Liu Qingshan didn't seem to understand the meaning of Uncle Liu's words, and said seriously: "There will be no mistake, my grandson saw the list with his own eyes, and my uncle is the first!" ”

Seeing his grandson's answer, Mr. Liu turned his head to look at his eldest son, and when he saw his eldest son's expression, he knew that it was true.

But how old is Liu Xiaolang?

Twenty full?

How did you get to the top of the high school rankings......

Uncle Liu was a little stunned.

Liu Chenxing smiled and continued to mend the knife and said, "Why do you want to feast guests? Uncle said that the county test had just begun, and it was too early to celebrate. Instead of wasting time feasting, prepare for next month's state exam. ”

Stirring up people, Liu Chenxing is consciously not losing, and today she just breathed a sigh of relief for her own Aye, she looked at Liu Wanli again and said: "Uncle invited so many people to eat and drink, is it ready for next month's state test?" But Ah Xing still persuaded the uncle to have time to study more, after all, the uncle was the last in the county exam, and the state exam would not be so easy. ”

The voice is still childish, but the words are reasonable.

And because it was said by a five-year-old child, no one can suspect that she deliberately made a face.

Liu Wanli couldn't refute it, and his face was so red that he was ashamed to turn white for a while.

When Uncle Liu thought of what their father and son had done in the past half a month, his face only felt panicked.

If so, with Liu Chenxing's words, how can the father and son be condescending to apologize, at least they have to pass the state test before saying so.

Liu Chenxing looked at Uncle Liu and Liu Wanli, who were standing embarrassed and angry, she shrugged her shoulders innocently, not that she crow's mouth said that Liu Wanlizhou was going to fail the list, but that shit luck may go once, but it can't be lucky like this every time.

Therefore, for the sake of a better life in the future, she still earnestly followed the steps step by step, striving to finish the "Analects" as soon as possible, and then study the small scriptures.

Let's say that with the first place in the county examination of Liu Wensu High School, it is not good for Mr. Liu to use Liu Wanli's county examination to induce Liu Qianli to give up the idea of splitting the family, so he held back his strength and asked Liu Wanli to pass the state examination successfully.

Although the tail truck passed the county test, Liu Wanli, who thought that the time had come, was still full of inexplicable confidence in the state test.

However, the reality is as Liu Chenxing thought, good luck may happen once, but it will not happen one after another.

On December 1, Liu Wensu and Liu Wanli went to Qingyang County, which is equivalent to the modern provincial capital, to participate in the state examination as candidates from Qingyang County.

A few days later, the state test list was announced.

Liu Wanli, who got carried away, fell to Sun Shan, and Liu Wensu, who has always been seriously preparing for the exam, once again won the first place in the state examination, and his reputation was dry for a while, coupled with the year of the weak crown, in the context of "thirty old Ming Jing, fifty young jinshi", the top of the state examination at the age of twenty is too rare, and it is rare to be regarded as a young talent.

Therefore, not only did the county commanders of Qingyang and Qinghe counties personally send congratulatory ceremonies to celebrate, but also the history of Beizhou Thorn, that is, modern high-ranking officials, also took the time to see it, and the carp dragon gate can be said to have achieved more than half.

Seeing that Liu Wensu's future is limitless, and it is even more rare and good-looking, he is naturally cited by many wealthy gentry as the fast son-in-law of Chenglong, and no matter that the New Year is approaching, he is full of people who go to the Liu family to talk about matchmaking and give gifts.

I don't know where to inquire about Liu Wensu's teachings since childhood, and he attaches great importance to Liu's words, so Liu's has also become the object of public favor, and all kinds of salutes are endless, and even Liu's return to Liu's house to prepare for the New Year's affairs, they also chased after them.

Knowing that Liu Wensu has a big retribution, it is impossible for the Liu family to accept those bribes, but they don't want to marry and become enemies, so they have to persuade them to retire with good words, which is inevitably tiring, but they are seen by the Liu family, thinking that they are all powerful people, and they dare not despise it, but it is a blessing in disguise.

Liu Wensu saw that his relatives, friends, and neighbors were deeply disturbed, so he said to the outside world: "Some, one day is not a provincial test, and one day is not a family." ”

As soon as these words came out, this grand occasion finally stopped.

Then the firecrackers will remove the old year, and the New Year will be celebrated.

In the era when there were no firecrackers, the sound of bamboo bursting was regarded as firecrackers.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, a big fire was burning in the courtyard of Liu's house, and there were bamboo knots that Liu Qianli had cut in advance.

As soon as the bamboo was thrown into the fire, there was a crackling sound.

With such a miracle as the fetus, Liu Chenxing was still in awe of the ancient tradition, just like a real child, he took a piece of bamboo and threw it into the fire.

In an instant, sparks flew and the bamboo beeped.

Liu Chenxing clasped his hands together, closed his eyes, and silently made a wish in his heart: "New year, new atmosphere, I hope that the family will be separated smoothly after the year, find a new way to make money, and the school can recruit women...... And Uncle Liu can become the top of the list again, and the top ...... high school champion"

After meditating, I suddenly felt that there were a lot of wishes.

Liu Chenxing stuck out her tongue, it seemed that she was a greedy person, so she quickly picked up another handful of bamboo and threw it into the fire.

Crackling -

On this day, the whole Anjia Village was filled with such firecrackers, and the children had a lot of fun.

When the joyful New Year has passed, it is time to go to relatives to pay New Year's greetings.

Mr. Liu's brother and sister came by carriage from Qinghe County on the morning of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

As the saying goes: One person is blessed, with a house.

It is said that more than 50 years ago, the old Liu family moved to Anjia Village from other places, and they were very unhappy at first, and Liu's old father-in-law's Aya has been lingering on the sickbed.

It was when he was at a loss that an old rich man heard that a country woman could give birth, so he went to Anjia Village to find a peasant girl to take a concubine and have a child.

At this time, a passing Taoist saw the eldest aunt Liu, and bluntly said that he had the appearance of a suitable man, and he could prosper his husband and son, but he needed to be a wife, not a concubine, otherwise it would be the fate of a ruined family.

The slightest disturbance in the countryside will be known to everyone, and the news was naturally heard by the old rich man, and he is indeed a widower who has lost his wife, but he can't just marry a peasant girl who can't read big words. But I was also curious to meet my eldest aunt Liu in person, and saw that she was born in Peugeot, which was very different from ordinary peasant girls, and asked carefully, it turned out that Liu's father had been the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, but the owner caused a lawsuit, and Liu's father himself had a serious illness, so he fell into a foreign land. But the eldest aunt Liu, as the eldest daughter, has been working in the cloth shop with her father since she was a child, and she not only knows some business, but also can read and settle accounts.

The old rich man was in the cloth business, and when he heard that fate had come, he hired his eldest aunt Liu as his wife.

Relying on this heavy money, the old Liu family built a large house with a civil structure, and the fertile land has increased to the current 60 acres, of course, it has now been sold by Liu Laozhang for one acre, and only 59 acres remain.

The eldest aunt Liu was also angry, and gave birth to a son for the old rich man in the first year after entering the door.

A delicate wife and young son, how can it not hurt?

The eldest aunt Liu's status in her husband's family became heavier, and within a few years she began to meddle in her husband's business, and she felt that there was no one of her own, so she brought her eldest brother to her side, and as for the younger brother Liu, who was not yet ten years old at that time, he was naturally left behind.

And this stay is a lifetime.

Although a person inherited the house and land in Anjia Village, but watching Brother and Sister A's business grow bigger and bigger, and he also moved his family from Qingyang County to Qinghe County, I don't know if Uncle Liu has a grudge in his heart?

Anyway, Liu Chenxing has no way of knowing, but she still likes the eldest aunt who only sees her once a year.

"Happy New Year, Auntie!" Liu Chenxing kowtowed crisply.
