For the students of these academies, what pennants, what dramas, and what banquets are all empty, but this can ask Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran for homework, this is a real reward.

One by one, they couldn't help but show a look of surprise, and the little resentment they had against Governor Chen before all dissipated.

The students of the academy next to them heard this, and their eyes were red with envy.

What is it? This is the opportunity! What an honor it is to be able to consult with Governor Chen and Zhu Shilang.

If you don't say anything else, it's okay to mix up your face!

Especially the students of Baiyun Academy, their faces were all blue, why did they want to win the championship so much, that is, because they heard about Governor Chen's award, Governor Guan Chen alone made them rush to him, not to mention adding a Zhu Shilang, he is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and the imperial examinations are all within the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, okay?

However, the corners of An Huahao's mouth pursed a mocking arc, this Governor Chen is really skilled, in order to embarrass the Evergreen Academy, he set up so many obstacles, and everyone complained about him.

But it's just a few words, who remembers resenting him at this moment? It's too late to be grateful!

When Governor Chen spoke, he motioned for Evergreen Academy to come forward to accept the award.

Originally, the helmsman should have received the award, but now, in terms of performance and contribution, where to start, Anhua Hao has the greatest credit.

The helmsman is not the kind of person who grabs people's credit, and insisted on letting An Huahao come forward to accept the award, and everyone agreed.

An Huahao had no choice but to step forward, stand in front of Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran, and bowed: "Students meet the two adults!" ”

As soon as An Huahao came out alone, everyone immediately recognized that he was the scholar who saved people, and they immediately became excited again.

Governor Chen looked at An Huahao standing in front of him, dressed straight, but he covered up the heroic spirit on his body a little, and looked a lot more gentle.

Although the person is darker, he has starry eyes and handsome eyebrows, and he has a broad atmosphere.

I didn't look carefully in the teahouse before, but now I look closely, I don't know why, I feel a little familiar, but in the end, there are many people at the moment, and I don't have time to think about it, so I just smiled and patted An Huahao's shoulder: "Not bad!" The future is terrifying, and the future is immeasurable! ”

This is not plain to say, he is watching this game today.

He has a lot of difficulties with Evergreen Academy, and if he is an ordinary person, he may have a broken mentality.

An Huahao can not only stabilize, but also have the ability to turn the tide, especially in the end, the neat skill of saving people left a deep impression on him.

In any case, An Huahao saved the child and avoided the accident, which was also a favor for him.

As long as An Huahao does not die and maintains his current state, he will not be bad in the future.

If it was someone else, hearing the governor say this to him, he would have been so excited that Tao Tao didn't know where it was.

But An Huahao only smiled politely: "Adults praise it, but students don't deserve it!" ”

So calm, no

got carried away, which made Governor Chen's impression of An Huahao a little better, not to mention anything else, just with this mentality, this determination, and with the help of Du Lao, he will help him again, and the future is promising.

Governor Chen immediately changed seventy or eighty ideas in his heart, and his face was not obvious.

Although Zhu Haoran on the side was not as old as Governor Chen in the sea of Huan, he guessed Governor Chen's thoughts.

Suddenly a little depressed, not to mention anything else, this An Huahao and himself knew each other first, he also admired it at the beginning, and gave him a famous post, not thinking that this young man is a talent that can be created, and he will not be able to use it for himself in the future.

But when he met again in Jing County, he was a little more suspicious.

But after knowing that this An Huahao was the husband of Du Lao's closed disciple, he knew that this young man, the time had come.

Originally, he was still wondering if he should suppress one or two, suppress An Huahao's temperament, and then accept it for his own use, but now it seems that this is no longer possible.

Therefore, a broad smile appeared on his face, and he also patted An Huahao's shoulder: "Not bad, not bad!" When I saw you yesterday, I thought I had recognized the wrong person, but I didn't expect it to be you! You're also destined for this official—"

An Huahao bowed his head respectfully: "The adults are laughing, this is the blessing of the students, so that they can meet the adults again!" ”

After this back and forth, Governor Chen narrowed his eyes: "You know?" ”

Zhu Haoran looked indifferent: "Didn't Xiaguan go to Qicheng a few months ago?" I also have a relationship with him, but I didn't expect it to be so coincidental that I met it again in Jing County! My lord, do you say there is fate? ”

This was said vaguely, who was Governor Chen, and immediately remembered that Zhu Haoran went to Qicheng last time for the matter of private mines, and that matter went smoothly, and after he went back, he was immediately promoted to the third level and became a waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

If it was just an ordinary one-sided relationship, how could Zhu Haoran remember a showman? It seems that there must be something strange in this.

Governor Chen had a plan in his heart, but he smiled on his face: "That's indeed fate!" What's your name? Look at An Huahao.

An Huahao bowed and said, "Student An Huahao." ”

"An Hua Hao, good name! You have to toast Lord Zhu tonight! Governor Chen stroked his beard.

An Huahao had no choice but to nod and agree.

After a few more pleasantries, An Huahao stepped aside.

As soon as he returned to the team of Evergreen Academy, a classmate asked in a low voice: "Brother Song, it seems that the two adults value you very much, and they have been talking to you for a long time." ”

An Huahao's face remained unchanged, and he only said lightly: "The two adults just praised our Evergreen Academy more." ”

Because it was a little far away, and a few people didn't speak loudly, everyone really thought it was as An Huahao said.

Only Gu Zikai knows, I'm afraid that the matter is not what An Huahao said, but of course he will not say it.

After awarding the award, Lu Wenguang, the county magistrate, came up again to thank Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran, and then announced the celebration banquet in the evening

In the largest restaurant in the county, let everyone go early in the evening.

The rest of the time, I have to let the players of these games go back to take a shower, recuperate, and have the energy to participate in the wedding banquet in the evening.

Lu Wenguang and the officials of the yamen escorted Governor Chen and Zhu Haoran back to the courtyard where they stayed to rest, and the rest of the people dispersed one after another, either going home to prepare, or staying to watch the big drama that was about to take place.

An Huahao and Gu Zikai retreated from the stands, and in the resting room, Lu Jimin and a few masters had been waiting there for a long time, and when they saw them come down, they were extremely kind and encouraged a few words before letting them disperse, go home to rest, and then cheer up to participate in the banquet in the evening.

An Huahao and Gu Zikai came out of the resting room, so they naturally wanted to find Mei Xiaotong and them.

At this moment, except for the guards guarding the vicinity of the stands to maintain order, the other guards have already left clean.

Out of the resting room, several people pounced.

An Huahao took two steps back alertly, and saw three figures kneeling in front of him at once.

"Benefactor!"

"Thank you benefactor for saving my second dog! The great kindness of the benefactor, we dare not forget it for the rest of our lives! ”

"Two dogs, kowtow to your benefactor! Thank you benefactor for saving your life! ”

The woman among the three knelt down and kowtowed, while desperately kowtowing to the child in the middle.

The child, named Ergouzi, kowtowed several times firmly.

An Huahao then understood, hurriedly turned his body to avoid it, and reached out to help: "Hurry up, please get up, you don't have to make this big gift!" ”

But the woman refused to get up: "Thank you, benefactor! The benefactor doesn't know, my man's family has been passed down for several generations, and our husband and wife are both at this age, just such a single seedling, if he has three long and two short, our husband and wife will not be able to live. ”

"Where did the benefactor save my second dog, this is to save the lives of our whole family! Our family is poor and small, and there is nothing to repay the benefactor, and I think the benefactor will not care about our family's idea of thanks! I had to kowtow a few more to my benefactor, set up an immortal tablet for my benefactor at home, and pray for my benefactor's high school champion every day! It's also a done part of our hearts. ”

How did An Huahao listen to this, there was something wrong.

Xiao Wu, who had been waiting outside, saw An Huahao come out, and immediately followed, and when he heard this, he couldn't help jumping out.

"Your family is really interesting, Song Xiucai saved your son's life, who is the family, can be so white-eyed and empty-handed? I've never seen anything like this! This is still a life-saving grace, thinking that it is enough to kowtow twice? Still in front of so many people, who is this kneeling to? Lord Song Xiucai has a lot of carelessness, but I can't stand it, isn't this forcing people Song Xiucai? ”

The woman's face stiffened, and she argued, "Aren't we poor and can't afford anything decent?" Besides, Song Xiucai is so merciful and compassionate

, where is there a lack of our family such an idea of thank-you gifts? Master Song Xiucai, you said yes, right? ”

An Huahao's eyes were cold, and before he could speak, a few classmates next to him couldn't help it: "I said this lady, you are so unreasonable!" Brother Song saved your child, although he didn't want to repay him, but like you, he forced Brother Song in public, for fear that Brother Song would look too ugly for him to repay you? “

"But no, what can your family have for Brother Song to plot? Laugh to death! “

The onlookers next to him also accused: "I said this lady, you are too shameless, right?" How can you do this? When Master Xiucai is so critical, save your second dog, as long as you have a little conscience, you will kowtow to Lord Xiucai today to thank you, and tomorrow you should bring a thank you gift to Song Xiucai's house. ”

"Even if your family is more difficult, this thank you gift doesn't have to be valuable, even if it's a little delicious made at home, or something, it's always a heart, right? Where is the need for this, for fear that the talented master will find you something, and you will kowtow to clear up the relationship if you are in a hurry? ”

"You don't know their family, do you? Do you really hear people say that it is difficult to have a difficult family? Do you know East Street? Half of the shops on that street were originally theirs! Do you know what their family name is? Their surname is Cao, the Cao from Cao Banjie! Someone scoffed.

As soon as these words came out, there was an immediate sensation.

Who is Cao Banjie? The older generation in Jing County knows it.

The Cao family is indeed a single family for several generations, and the last few generations will do business, and they have bought nearly half of the shops on East Street with their savings, and their lives have been prosperous.

Especially in order to have more sons, the Cao family took more than a dozen concubines at the peak, just to have more sons.

It's a pity that a lot of concubines came in, and there was no one in the belly, and in the end, it was the original wife Lao Beng who gave birth to a lone seedling.

That's really like an eyeball to care for the growth, because there is a shop at home, and there is no shortage of silver, and I am afraid that my son will suffer, I am reluctant to let him go out, I just want to give my son up.

When his son is older, he marries a daughter-in-law, thinking that when his daughter-in-law gives birth to a grandson, he will bring up his grandson, and in the future, his grandson will support the family business, and his son will not have to worry about it for the rest of his life, just be a young master happily.

I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, not long after this son married his daughter-in-law, the old man of the Cao family fell ill and went in a few days.

Leaving the old lady of the Cao family, in a hurry, a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat did not come up, and she also left.

The rest of the sons and daughters-in-law didn't go through anything, and finally handled the funerals of the two elders, and they didn't know who to take care of the rest of the huge family business.

The son of the Cao family was already raised out of tune, and his father's filial piety period did not pass, so he spent all day and wine, and the silver was spent like flowing water.

The daughter-in-law of the Cao family, a new daughter-in-law who has just married, can manage it.

Within a few years, half of the Cao family's shops were almost gone, and they waited for the Cao family

The son's son was born, and the son of the Cao family woke up, but it was too late.

Because he spent too much time drinking, his body was hollowed out, and he was happy and sad for a while, and he didn't come up in one breath, leaving the orphans and widows behind.

Fortunately, the daughter-in-law of the Cao family can still hold on, although most of the family property was lost by her own man, and she still left several shops for rent, as well as a yard to live in, and there is also a Zhuangzi in the countryside, which is enough for orphans and widows to chew.

Because of the experience of her own man, the daughter-in-law of the Cao family was afraid that the son she gave birth to would be the same as his father, and she would not spend any money.

When I was young, I was very strict, and my food and clothing were very ordinary. The slaves were dismissed again, leaving only a pulp washing mother-in-law, an old man who guarded the door, and the rest were all Cao family's daughters-in-law who did it themselves.

and because there were few servants, and the court was large and empty.

The daughter-in-law of the Cao family simply left this courtyard as the main courtyard where she lived, and the other courtyards were sealed into separate courtyards and rented out.

Not only did the family increase the family, but also because the tenants she chose were honest and dutiful, the main courtyard was surrounded in the middle, which saved them a lot of trouble for orphans and widows.

In order to keep his son from spending money indiscriminately, even his name is Cao Jian.

This Cao Jian was deeply influenced by his mother, he was really thrifty when he was young, and his clothes were all patches and patches, and finally on August 15, he was reluctant to eat a salted duck egg, and he used a bamboo skewer to pick out one or two pieces every day, and he tasted it, and he could put down two bowls of rice.

A person who can eat salted duck eggs from August 15 to September 9 before seeing salted egg yolk.

My biggest hobby in life is to save money and save money.

When I married a daughter-in-law as an adult, I also went out to pick the door, buy a piece of meat, and I couldn't wait to pull a ruler to measure the fat of the pork, and I had to touch a few more handfuls of the pork, dip the oily back of my hand, and simmer it in the pot, and make soup with the oil flowers that came out.

After the two got married, they hit it off, and the door was so famous that it was a street.

There are old people who have seen the wealth of the Cao family before, and they can't help but sigh, if the ancestors of the Cao family saw that they had earned such a large share of the family business, but their descendants lived such a life, I don't know if they would be so angry that they would lift the coffin board.

It is estimated that Cao Jian is reluctant to incense his ancestors, so the coffin board of the ancestor of the Cao family is still stable.

However, the two of them saved the door and gave birth to their current son, after Cao Ergou, he felt sorry for his son, and he could save his own money, and he was still very generous to his son.

For example, if the two of them eat porridge with their mother, this son must be the bowl with the most rice grains.

Eat meat, and the son will definitely be able to eat the fattest piece.

The clothes you wear are also the ones with the fewest patches.

Therefore, as soon as everyone heard that it was someone from the Cao family, they all showed a clear look.

With the temperament of the Cao family, they saved their son, and it is okay to kowtow to you and bleed, but if they want their purse to bleed, it is absolutely impossible.

An Huahao didn't know about the Cao family, and he still had a face

At a loss, there was a local talent next to him, so he explained it in a few words.

An Huahao then understood, and looked at the Cao family of three with tears and laughter.

I had to wave my hand: "Okay, it's not a big deal, the child is fine." I don't need you to set up any immortal tablets, you just take care of the children in the future, and don't have any more accidents! Alright, let's all go back! ”

When Cao Jian's family of three heard that An Huahao was relieved, and did not ask them for a thank you, they slammed their heads a few times, got up and got into the crowd, and ran away in a few clicks.

Seeing that everyone laughed and laughed, but in the end, they all knew that the Cao family was like this, so they had to shake their heads and disperse. When I walked away, I heard someone say: "Today's Cao family is lucky, I met Song Xiucai so generous, saved their children, and didn't care at all." ”

"If someone else is changed, especially those idlers, I'm afraid that the Cao family won't be finished if they don't take off a layer of skin!"

The men are still discussing An Huahao's generosity, as well as the Cao family's unacceptable affairs.

The women's style of painting is very different.

"Only after a closer look did I realize that this Song Xiucai is so handsome! It's the black spots of the skin! ”

"It looks like it's not easy to get close to the dark face, but it's good to have a good heart, I saved the child of the Cao family, and in the end, I let the people of the Cao family go so generously."

"No, I'll find someone to go to Evergreen Academy tomorrow to inquire, see if Song Xiucai is married, if not, my daughter is just right!"

And the little daughter-in-law and the big girl were squeezing their eyebrows together.

"Little sister, come back to your senses quickly, everyone Song Xiucai has gone away-"

"Sister, now I know that a person like Song Xiucai is a real man, if I can marry him, I am willing to live a short life of ten years-"

"Bah, blah, little hooves that are not ashamed, what nonsense is in their mouths! Be careful to be heard, do you want to be famous? ”
