143 Flagpole of Fame
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't hold it back, and Xu's father repeatedly urged Xu's mother, "Erlang's letter, you quickly take it out and show it to me." Don't lie to me that Erlang didn't write a letter, I also left someone in this house, and someone has already reported to me just now that Erlang has sent a letter, you quickly take it out and I'll take a look. ”
Speaking of Xu Erlang, Xu's mother's expression softened, and she didn't bother to say anything to Xu's father, so she separated her hands that were hidden by the sleeve and handed the letter she was holding in one of her hands to Xu's father.
When Xu's father saw the letter that Xu's mother took out from her sleeve, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: This mother-in-law is really well hidden, he really didn't notice that there was anything wrong with her appearance of putting her hands together.
Soon Xu's father had no time to care about Xu's mother, he reacted the same as Xu's mother, first saw Erlang being the master and sent Sanlang to the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing, he blew his beard angrily and glared at him, scolded "unfilial son", and said that Xu Erlang crossed their father and mother to decide the future of their brother in private, which was not good. As a result, in a blink of an eye, I saw that Erlang won the champion.
Father Xu's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile, and his eyes were about to narrow into a line.
He was also afraid that he was thinking about it day by day, and he was dazzled by the wrong words, so he shouted for Wang Kui outside to come in and show him if Erlang was really the champion.
Wang Kui: I've said it hundreds of times, sir, I'm really illiterate!
Wang Kui felt bitter in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.
He is the master's personal servant, and it is nothing to enter the old lady's courtyard, but it is inappropriate to enter the room in the old lady's courtyard. What's more, since the old man and the old lady "separated", his dignity in Heyantang has gradually disappeared. If he hadn't broken in with him, he would have been stopped by the mother-in-law guarding the door when he entered the courtyard gate just now. That's it, he couldn't get close to the wing room when he entered the yard, so he honestly found an inconspicuous place to cat. As a result, the cat was so funny that the master called him.
Wang Kui: If you don't listen or don't listen, Wang Ba recites the scriptures.
Father Xu shouted a few times, but didn't call Wang Kui in, and couldn't help scolding, "Bastard who only eats food and doesn't work, when you use people, you run away, look at the master, I will beat you to cry and call your mother!" ”
He turned to Xu Mu again, "Erlang, this is ...... Really the champion? ”
"It's clear that it's written in black and white on the top, it's hard for the old man to be dizzy, and he doesn't even know those words."
Father Xu received an affirmative answer, and laughed like a fool.
At this time, he could take care of Xu's mother's bad temper, remembering that Xu Erlang was still born with this original match, and couldn't help but look at Xu's mother's stomach with satisfaction. I thought that this mother-in-law had no ability to do it herself, but she couldn't bear her stomach and gave birth to a good son.
Mother Xu: Suddenly I felt cold, and goosebumps rose.
Mother Xu squinted at Father Xu, how disgusted and disgusted his eyes were, Father Xu didn't care, he was in a beautiful mood now. The son won the champion and glorified his ancestors. And he was also called into the Hanlin Academy by His Majesty as an official, and he was a six-grade attendant, although it was an errand for the emperor to give a lecture, it seemed to be very inconspicuous, but he couldn't bear to be able to face the king directly.
Human feelings don't come out of this little bit. After seeing more and having a deep affection, His Majesty will know the benefits of Erlang, so is it far from Erlang's promotion to the rank of knight? It's not far off!!
Thinking about it, maybe in a few years, his son will be able to mix with a second-class master, Xu's father is really enthusiastic, and he feels like he is ten years younger in an instant.
At the end of the letter, his son was given the word by His Majesty, and he was called "Shiheng", and Xu's father felt that his conjecture just now was correct.
His Majesty must have valued their Erlang very much, but he was worried that Erlang had just entered Beijing as an official, and he had no political achievements and was not easy to promote, so he was awarded the sixth grade. After a few more days, Erlang will definitely be promoted at the same speed as a BMW.
The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and Father Xu couldn't help but mutter, "Runzhi is so soily, it's better to use the word Shiheng." Your Majesty is of a high standard, and listening to the words given to Erlang, there is a strong atmosphere of brilliance. ”
Mother Xu was a little inexplicable when she heard him say this, she hadn't finished reading the letter after all, so she glanced at Father Xu suspiciously, not knowing what he was talking about.
Seeing this, Father Xu handed the letter back, "Take a look, take a good look, our Erlang is really out of luck now." Your Majesty has given him words, no, I must tell my father and mother about this, you hurry up and read this letter, and I will go to the ancestral hall to burn this letter in a while, so that the ancestors can see it. ”
Mother Xu didn't object, but nodded in agreement and handed him the letter she had read. At the end, he didn't forget to be considerate and said, "Read it to the ancestors again, my mother-in-law and her old man are illiterate, you just burn it to her, and the old man doesn't know it, you still read it yourself and burn it again." ”
"It's up to you to say that."
After saying this, Father Xu touched his chin and said, "I don't know when Erlang will come back, it is a big deal that he won the champion, I am going to gather the clansmen to reopen the ancestral hall to worship the ancestors, and by the way, I will hold a few more flowing water banquets to celebrate him." ”
Mother Xu frowned, "When will you come back, Erlang didn't say." ”
Father Xu looked at the letter in his hand, and there was really no mention of when he would return home, and he couldn't help but say to his son, "I can forget such a big thing, it's really unreliable." ”
Mother Xu suddenly remembered that there was still a letter that had not been opened, so she said, "Jinniang also sent a letter, I can't say that I will mention this matter, I'll take a look first." ”
Father Xu muttered again, "If there is a mother, there must be a son, no wonder Erlang is not thoughtful, it is all thanks to you, the mother." ”
Mother Xu: Hehe. If you really want to say that, I have to take the lead in my son's champion.
Compared to Xu Erlang's letters, the language is concise and directs to the center, and Jin Niang's letters are much more trivial. first wrote about the children in the family, and then wrote about Xu Erlang's preparations before the exam, and also relayed what happened in the Jinluan Palace to Xu's mother, so that she could be happy. In addition, he also wrote that San Lang was good in the military camp, and he had already come to two family letters, he was good at reading and reading the art of war, coupled with his excellent martial arts, he was very appreciated by his superiors, and he was exceptionally promoted to squad leader. and wrote about the child in her womb now, and how the people in the house are dealings. In the end, he wrote that because His Majesty asked Erlang to join the company in half a month, and the time was pressing, they would not return to Pingyang. In addition, he also told Xu's mother that after a while, there would be messengers and people from the Ministry of Rites to come to Pingyang, for the sake of fame and flagpole.
In ancient times, there were famous flagpoles, flags and archways. If you are talented, you can set up a flagpole, and there is no flag on the flagpole. If a person is raised, a flagpole is erected, and a flag bucket is placed on the flagpole. If you win the champion, there are three flags. If there is a member of the court in the clan, you can set up four flagpoles in front of the ancestral hall of the clan.
There are more than ten people in Pingyang Town, and there are only four people. Of course, that was before, but now...... Not counting Xu Erlang and Father Lin, who have already broken away from the category of lifters, they are still four lifters. It's just that one of the old Juren, that is, the one that Old Lady Shi wanted Xu Erlang to apprentice at that time, went to immortal a few months before they moved out of Pingyang Town, and now there is another Zheng Shunming Zheng Juren. Therefore, there are still four flagpoles in the entire Pingyang Town.
The flagpole of the three buckets is really unprecedented, and the flagpole of the four buckets is even more unthinkable. And now, Xu Erlang has won the champion, and according to the rules, the imperial court should set up a three-bucket flagpole outside the Xu Family Ancestral Hall.
This is a big event, a big event that the whole world celebrates.
Because of this happy event, Xu's father and Xu's mother even dissipated their resentment that Xu Erlang couldn't come back. Their faces were red, and their eyes were shining with excitement.
The three bucket flagpoles are good, this flagpole is erected, as long as it is not a natural or man-made disaster, it will not fall for hundreds of years. Then future generations will know that their Xu family has produced a champion, and their father and mother will become famous together.
Father Xu rubbed his hands and said a few times, "Okay, good." ”
Mother Xu said, "You go to the clan elder now, and let people rest and recuperate at the ancestral hall." The Lang official of the Ministry of Farewell Rites came, and when he saw that there was still a pile of filth there, he would lose Erlang's people. ”
"Yes, yes, I'll go."
In fact, where is the use of cleaning up?
An ancestral hall is the face of a family name, even if it is a person with a surname, no matter whether the houses are decent or not, anyway, the ancestral hall must be cleaned up properly, clean and tidy.
This is the case with the ancestral hall of the Xu family in Pingyang Town.
Even because most of the Xu family members are wealthy, the ancestral hall is far more magnificent and magnificent than other people's families. That circle of the temple, the area is not small, next to the temple is planted a large ginkgo tree, also has a history of hundreds of years, lush and lush. At that time, the god stick who instructed the Xu family to set up the ancestral hall here also said that looking at the rise and fall of this ginkgo tree, you can see the rise and fall of this family. It means that the ginkgo tree is closely related to the glory and wealth of the Xu family.
After that, the prosperity of the Xu family also happened to be in line with the words of the god stick. Therefore, the Xu family took special care of this hundred-year-old ginkgo tree, so that the tree grew more and more luxuriant, and its size became larger and larger, and the branches gradually stretched out, and even covered half of the area of the ancestral hall.
The people in the clan said, "This is a sign that the Xu family will continue to prosper." It is precisely because of this that when the Pingxi Hou Mansion lost the battle, the clansmen surnamed Xu in Pingyang Town did not panic at all. After all, they saw with their own eyes that the ginkgo trees were lush and lush, so it was impossible for the Pingxi Hou Mansion to fall. In other words, even if the Pingxi Hou Mansion falls, there will definitely be people surnamed Xu who will rise and continue to take care of their clansmen surnamed Xu.
And now, that man is not just getting up.
It's just that Ren didn't guess that person would be Xu Erlang, who was forced by his father and mother to abandon Wu Congwen with death.
Xu Erlang was optimistic about them earlier, after all, he has good roots, he is a good hand in martial arts, and his martial arts practice is higher than anyone else. At that time, they also said that if this kid went to the battlefield, maybe he could really earn an official and come back.
Clinker Dalang died in battle, and his parents took a stinky move, forcing the child to abandon martial arts and follow literature. At that time, they all thought that this child was going to be abolished, but what could be done? They persuaded them all who should be persuaded, but Xu's father and Xu's mother were determined to let their children study, and they couldn't help it.
I don't want to, the angry child will be angry wherever he goes.
Erlang, this kid quietly won the lifter, not long ago he won the tribute, how long has it been, and he won the first place in the palace test, and was named the champion by His Majesty.
The champion, it takes three years to produce one. They have only produced one champion in the entire Shuozhou so far.
Exultation! Exultation! This is a great event to be recorded in the family tree!
The people surnamed Xu were overjoyed and ran to tell each other, so it didn't take long for everyone in Pingyang Town to know that Xu Erlang of the Xu family was out! Won the top spot!!
The people of Pingyang Town thought that they were hallucinating, and thought that the people of the Xu family were dreaming in the daytime, but then someone saw that the county commander personally brought people to the Xu family, then this is a hammer!!
The Xu Erlang of the Xu family, he really won the champion!!
The whole town of Binh Duong was a sensation!!
There are people who are clever and will come to things, so they hurriedly ran to the Lin family.
The Lin family and the Xu family are in the same town, but they live far away, one in the east and the other in the west. But what is this distance, for those who have the heart to sell well, even if you are on the edge of the sky, he can also come to you.
So, Qing'er, who was reading his father's letter to his mother and sister at home, heard the servant call him, saying that someone was looking for him outside.
The Lin family's school stopped when Lin's father went to Shuozhou to participate in the Autumn Festival.
Father Lin was not at home, and Qing'er regarded herself as an adult, so she acted more steadily than usual.
When he heard that someone was looking for him, he first asked who it was, where it was, and what was the matter with him.
The servant didn't know, Qing'er had no choice but to get up and take a look. However, when he went out, he also told his aunt and Xuanxuan, "I'm afraid the family is not peaceful these days, if my aunt and Xuanxuan don't want to entertain people, just stay behind and don't come out, I will use my aunt's physical discomfort to send people away." Afraid that her aunt would think too much, Qing'er explained more, "My brother-in-law won the champion, and my father also won the Jinshi, whether it is to tie up the Xu family or want to join our family, there must be a lot of people, and there are many people who give gifts." I didn't have to worry about it, I was afraid that I would take something I shouldn't have received and cause trouble for my father and brother-in-law when the time came. In that case, we might as well avoid it. ”
When my aunt heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand, "Then you quickly tell me that I am sick, I don't see a guest, and there are too many people to make me have a headache." ”
Xuanxuan also said, "I serve my mother's illness." ”
Qing'er smiled gently, "In this case, if you do a good job, I will ask my sister's usual criminal doctor to take a look." Don't worry, auntie, just go through the process. ”
"Okay, Qing'er, go out quickly, don't let people wait."
I really don't know Qing'er from outside, but I've heard of it, after all, this person is also a showman, and he is still somewhat famous in the town.
And this person first congratulated him, but congratulated his brother-in-law on high school. Then he asked him casually, did Father Lin do well in the exam?
Qing'er figured out the meaning of this person at this time. First, it is indeed a good sale and good news for his brother-in-law. Second, I also wanted to find out if my father was a jinshi.
The father is the same age as the Tan Master in front of him, and they were both talented earlier. I heard that this person was very competitive, so when he was studying, he was not angry with his father for crushing him. And then his father lost his wife, his father and his mother, and he had a rough life for half of his life, but this person had good luck, not to mention that his parents were alive, and he had four sons in one go.
But it is nothing to suppress the "strong enemy" on the heir, and it is good to be able to completely suppress people in terms of fame. Therefore, Master Tan has been participating in the Autumn Festival since then, and he wants to be one of the middle, so as to completely suppress Father Lin to avenge the revenge of being "bullied" back then.
