Chapter 178 Glory returns to his hometown

(Today, the unit is holding a Mid-Autumn Festival party.) It probably won't end until around ten o'clock. So send a big chapter in advance, and come back in the evening if you have time to add another chapter. If not, then please understand...... I wish you a happy holiday and a family reunion in advance! Ticket Ticket Ticket ...... ）

I have to admit that Qing'er's management skills are top-notch, and from the moment Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan's team returned to their hometowns stepped into Zhenlong Town, they could already feel the efforts made by Jiang Fu in the past two days.

The spacious bluestone official road is clean and clean, and a colorful flag is planted on the side of the road every dozens of steps. In the entire Huayin County, almost half of the people rushed to Zhenlong Town with their families, vying to see the demeanor of the champion and the female Bodhisattva. Many well-to-do families; zhuzhu+, even called all the underage males in the family over, taking Jiang Zhixuan as an example, teaching his children to work hard, and strive to be like Jiang Zhuangyuan, return to their hometowns in fine clothes, and glorify their ancestors.

Of course, there are also many women who come to see the dignity of the female bodhisattva. In this Huayin County, the reputation of the little female Bodhisattva has become a household name, and the love farm she built single-handedly has made many people talk about it. In just six or seven years, Mrs. Zhuangyuan made the family of Zhuangyuan Gong from a small family scattered all over the country. has become the thriving Jiang Mansion today, and Mrs. Zhuangyuan's ability to be a prosperous husband is also extraordinary.

Although there were so many people who came to watch, the journey was orderly. Everyone stood on both sides of the bluestone official road safely, and no one stepped into the official road for half a step. Admittedly, this is because the escort is a royal guard. However, if it weren't for the Jiang family's extensive good deeds in Huayin County in recent years, so that the people of Huayin County would be grateful to the Jiang family from the bottom of their hearts, I am afraid that Qing'er's call of "don't block the road" would not have worked so well......

It has only been less than two months since they left home, but Xiaoxiao and Jiang Zhixuan both feel a little like they are separated from each other. When I left Huayin to go to Beijing to take the exam, although I was very sure in my heart, I didn't have such a real fame on my head after all. Although in the past two or three years, the Jiang family has long been lifted out of poverty and become rich, Jiang Zhixuan has always been the gentle and humble Xie Yuanlang.

Now it's different, the dignified Sanyuan Jinshi, the close courtier of today's son. Even though Jiang Zhixuan himself is still as approachable as ever, in the minds of the people, there is a difference between today's Jiang Zhuangyuan and the original Jiang Jieyuan. Many villagers who were very familiar with Jiang Zhixuan before, unconsciously brought some awe in their words and expressions!

Xiaoxiao is the same, before her husband entered Beijing to take the exam, these villagers were really intimate with her. Not only because of her reputation as a female bodhisattva, but also because the Jiang Jiayi School she established has taught nearly 1,000 children from neighboring villages. Among these students, nearly 100 have passed the county school examination and become students of the county school hall. After only two or three years, these students can pass the county school exam. They will become a showman, which is already a very remarkable achievement in ancient times when there was an extreme shortage of scholars, so these villagers used to respect and affection for Xiaoxiao from the bottom of their hearts.

And now, the female Bodhisattva's husband is the top student in high school, and according to the concept of the common people, the female Bodhisattva is at least a lady now. Although she doesn't care about anything, Mrs. Decree is also an official and has a respected status. Officials of lower rank than her all need to pay homage when they see her. And there have been rumors among the people that Empress Changsun once visited the royal farm privately and was commensurate with the female Bodhisattva sisters. In the minds of the people, such a figure can only be worshiped on the head like a bodhisattva. How can you be as affectionate as you used to......

Driven by such a mentality, all the people who came to watch and greet did not dare to take half a step beyond the Lei Chi, and looked at the champion who was riding a tall horse with respectful eyes, and slowly headed towards Jiangfu under the protection of the mighty and majestic royal guards. As for the female bodhisattva. Many people could only see a faint shadow through the curtain of the carriage - not that Xiaoxiao deliberately wanted to do so, but that she was too tired and tired enough last night! Besides, on this occasion, she can't be asked to get out of the car and walk as a pregnant woman who is more than six months pregnant

Inside and outside Jiangfu, there are also lights in broad daylight. The troupe invited overnight lined up outside Jiangfu, playing and singing hard. Behind the troupe, more than a dozen half-sized children were happily burning firecrackers and making a slight crackling sound. At this time, there were no firecrackers that later generations were familiar with, and firecrackers were real bamboo. It is to put neat and thin bamboo poles on the fire to barbecue, and use the principle of air expansion to burst the bamboo body, so it is also called 'burst pole'.

Today, dozens of people from the top and bottom of the Jiang Mansion have all dressed up and down for the holidays, and under the leadership of the two uncles and aunts of the Jiang family, they are standing at the door to greet the pride of the Jiang family......

When he was about to arrive at Jiang Mansion, the four servants sent by the Li Mansion also beat the gongs and drums loudly. It is in harmony with the sound of the opera troupe at the gate of Jiangfu and the sound of setting off firecrackers, which is lively and extraordinary.

When he arrived at the gate of Jiangfu, Jiang Zhixuan jumped down from the white horse tied with red flowers. Two or three steps walked in front of Uncle Jiang and Second Uncle Jiang, and without saying a word, he knelt down, making the neighbors who were watching the lively and pleasing village inexplicable, only to hear Jiang Zhixuan's words choked. It took nine rings in a row to get up:

"Uncle, second uncle, Xuan'er is back, over the years, if there is no uncle and second uncle, or light or dark, Xuan'er is afraid that it will be difficult to continue even three meals a day, not to mention that now this is even three yuan, and the title of the gold list is ......"

Xiaoxiao saw her husband's movements in the carriage, and insisted on getting out of the car, and with the support of the maid, she knelt down with the four elders of the Jiang family.

The two uncles of the Jiang family are already a little stupid, and at this moment, in their hearts, it is really a five-flavor complex: since the Jiang family has a genealogical record, although there have been many Jinshi officials. But just like the nephew in front of him, even the three yuan is even more ancient. And as far as the two old men know, since the scientific expedition, there has never been such an outstanding figure as the nephew. Such an achievement, although I dare not say that there is no one who will come after, but it is really unprecedented.

And what made the two uncles even happier was that the nephew's parents died early, all these years. They have all done their best to help. Especially Jiang Erbo, his family background is not good, but he always talks about this nephew all the time. Even when the harvest is bad, even if there are only two small fish caught in the wind and waves, one must be given to this nephew......

Uncle Jiang is harsh, and he has no children under his knees, so he used to take money very seriously, although he knew that his nephew's life was difficult, but he felt that there was Jiang Erbo's help in life. He contributed less. But when his nephew had something to do, especially when his nephew and daughter-in-law were seriously ill twice, he had done his best with all his heart. Especially when Xiaoxiao was knocked into a coma by **** against the wall, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to go to the county lieutenant at that time to help, how many white eyes he suffered at that time, how many grievances he suffered, only Uncle Jiang himself knows......

Now, the efforts of his two old guys have not been in vain. The nephew competed for anger, and the title of the gold list made the lintel of the Jiang family shine again. But after this nephew came back, he first bowed to his two old fellows three times and nine times, and made such a big salute, how could they be surprised and delighted, and they were at a loss

Aunt Jiang saw that her man and the second uncle did not react, and saw that Xiaoxiao also knelt down with difficulty. Hurriedly pulled Uncle Jiang lightly from behind, and then said in a loud voice:

"Little farewell, your body is already weak, and now you are pregnant for nearly seven months, so bowing down like this is not good for your body and the child in your belly, hurry up!" While talking, he supported the second aunt alone, and didn't let the little kowtow after all. The two uncles also woke up at this time, but they couldn't hold back their tears. Jiang Erbo's big calloused hands wiped two handfuls on his bearded face, and stomped his feet with a choked voice:

"Silly boy, the eldest uncle and the second uncle take care of you, and it's only for the sake of the lintel of the Jiang family. Besides, we are your elders, and we don't take care of you, so whoever will take care of you will be grateful."

Uncle Jiang's eyes were red: "What the second brother said is that Xuan'er can't be seen, hurry up!" How can the new champion of the new department give such a big gift to us sesame officials."

While wiping their tears, the two uncles stretched out their hands and pulled Jiang Zhixuan up from the ground. When Jiang Zhixuan stood up and took a look, everyone found out. It turned out that the champion had already burst into tears......

Xiaoxiao took out a champa and gently wiped away the tears on her husband's face. Softly encouraged:

"Husband, today, you can vent your emotions freely, no one will laugh at your husband! But there are a lot of people at this time, and when I return to the house, my husband will talk to the two uncles again, okay?"

Jiang Zhixuan glanced at Xiao Xiao deeply, but shook his head firmly:

"Madam, in fact, the person I want to thank my husband the most is you...... Look at our Jiang Mansion now, look at the villa with green walls and red tiles, look at the neat farm, and then look at the silk and satin of my Jiang family, these are all things that you, Madame, have worked hard to run over the years. If there is no wife who works hard to keep the house, how can a husband be obsessed with homework without distractions and get a famous wife, please accept the husband's worship! ”

Saying that, Jiang Zhixuan turned around and faced Xiaoxiao, in front of many neighbors, he was about to bow down to Xiaoxiao, which made Xiaoxiao shocked: What are you kidding On such an occasion, how can the husband bow down to himself If it is spread out, how will the husband's face be there in the future

"Husband, slow down!". Xiaoxiao stopped with a small voice, and then quickly leaned into Jiang Zhixuan's ear:

"Husband, you and I are husband and wife, and we should support each other, why not say it so much and today in front of so many neighbors and guests, if the husband worships it, the reputation of the husband will be too unfavorable in the future! Don't be impulsive at this moment and do things that you regret for the rest of your life! ”

Jiang Zhixuan's face changed, and after a long time, he finally gritted his teeth: "Xiaoxiao, until this time, the husband really understands how much you have done for the husband over the years!" How much ...... it took"

Xiao Xiaoyan smiled: "I'm happy and confused, let's go home quickly......." As soon as her voice fell, Qing'er, who had been waiting for a long time, rushed over, first bowed to Xiaoxiao, and then whispered:

"Miss, Uncle and Father-in-law want to make a big celebration, but Aunt and Mother-in-law think it's too much money. The slave can't weigh the trade-offs, so please give the young lady an idea quickly. If he wanted to celebrate, the slave and maid ordered it to be widely advertised, and set up a three-day running water feast......"

At this time, there were many people, and Xiaoxiao couldn't make up his mind, so he groaned a little, and asked casually:

"If it's a big celebration, how much will it cost"

Qing'er is worthy of being a family member for so long, and replied without thinking when she heard this:

"According to the slave's estimate, the cost is about 1,500 to 2,000 guan......"

Xiao Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, thinking how much it would cost. Fifteen hundred, which is not a very large number for the Jiang family at this time. And such a thing as the champion of the husband and the king, it is only once in a lifetime, and it is worth spending this little money to celebrate. At the moment, he said to Qing'er quite arrogantly:

"Let's celebrate......"

Qing'er's face was overjoyed: "Obey the order, the slave will arrange for someone to spread the word!" ”

Soon, when Jiang Zhixuan and Uncle Jiang and his party entered the main hall of Jiang Mansion, dozens of servants of Jiang Mansion and the Royal Farm scattered out and invited all the neighbors who came to watch the ceremony to participate in the celebration of Jiang Mansion. Eating the flowing water banquet that he didn't recognize people's heads and didn't accept gifts for a few days suddenly broke out in jubilation among the people. At the same time, several capable Jiang government stewards also went out separately and rushed to the town and county seat to buy necessary supplies. At the latest, at night, there will be a steady stream of fruits, vegetables, wine and delicacies delivered to Jiangfu. As for chicken, duck and fish...... Please, the Jiang family is now the largest supplier in Huayin County, do you still need to buy it?

……

At night, dozens of exquisite lanterns illuminate the inside and outside of Jiangfu, and the sixty tables borrowed by the villagers of Zhaojia Village and neighboring villagers fill the halls and courtyards of Jiangfu inside and out. Even so, there were still more than 20 sheets that had nowhere to be placed and were forced to be placed in the open space outside the Jiang Mansion. Fortunately, these people are not picky, and as May approaches, the weather at night is just right, so these 20 or so tables are even more popular.

There are nearly 1,000 people from the countryside who come to watch the ceremony and eat the flowing water mat, so it needs to be divided into several rounds. After the first round is eaten, it will be removed immediately and replaced by the second round, which is the real flowing seat. People who have eaten enough and those who have not yet eaten gathered in groups to chat, and the topics are nothing more than the growth of each family's crops, the schooling of their children, and so on. But more than that, it is still the Jiang family and the royal farm today.

People A said: "A few days ago, my daughter passed the interview of Miss Qing'er, and she will go to work on the royal farm in the next two days.

People B smiled kindly: "Brother, you don't know this, my eldest has been working on the royal farm for half a year, and in this half year, his salary has saved eight yuan in addition to my family's expenses, and in the first half of the year, the family will save enough for twenty yuan." I'll ask the iceman to propose marriage, and marry the daughter of the fourth family of the king in the neighboring village to the eldest of my family......"

As soon as his words fell, he heard a fat middle-aged woman next to him tear up her voice and shout:

"Xie Laosan, you have to hurry, I heard that the female bodhisattva still wants to recruit a few more maids. The daughter of the Wang family, these days are looking forward to it every day, and she is accustomed to female popularity and etiquette at home every day. That girl is good-looking and smart, if she is really valued by the female bodhisattva at that time, I'm afraid that kid in your family won't have a chance......"

The man known as 'Xie Laosan' frowned: "Where did you know about it?"

The woman smiled proudly: "My sister is the steward of the second master of the Jiang family, at noon, the female Bodhisattva is a little unwell, and the second elder **** is so nervous that she feels that there are too few people to serve the female Bodhisattva." moved such a thought, and the female bodhisattva did not object, let the second old **** make up his own mind......"

Xie Laosan's eyes purred, and after a while, he finally sighed in resignation:

"That's also a matter of no choice, Wang Laosi has already released his words, he wants to marry his daughter, and he will leave the door without twenty runs......"

The fat woman was a warm-hearted woman, and when she heard this, she comforted him again and again:

"It's not that there is no chance at all, I remember that the eldest of your family has studied in Jiang Jiayi School for nearly a year, what is he doing on the royal farm now?"

Xie Laosan felt a little energetic when he heard this: "I am a ...... who works as a bookkeeper in a chicken farm."

The fat woman slapped the table: "That's a good feeling, I heard that Jiang Zhuangyuan intends to select more than ten postgraduates with foundation, foundation and experience from the current royal farm and Jiang Jiayi School to bring them to Jingshi." If the eldest of your family can be chosen, then the fourth king will not be able to marry his daughter to the boy of your family."

Xie Laosan's spirits were lifted: "Sister-in-law of the Zhao family, if this is the case, then I will thank you so much." No, I have to talk to that kid in my family when I go back, so that he must fight for a breath, and he must fight for a chance to follow the champion Gong......"

……

In the main hall of the Jiang Mansion, all the men of the Jiang family sat at one table, and all the female dependents sat at another table. The two tables were close together, and there was a lot of laughter. At this time, Jiang Yun and Jiang Feng brothers were holding wine glasses, saluting Jiang Zhixuan's wine. Jiang Zhixuan's face was already flushed, which showed that he had drunk a lot.

After tilting his neck and making a drink, he only heard Jiang Yun say:

"Brother Xuan, you also know that Brother Wei's brain is not very bright, and in the past few years, Brother Wei has also become accustomed to the days on this farm, and he is busy and full. Moreover, being a brother can't leave Qing'er and my family's baby daughter. Therefore, my brother will not go to Beijing with you, and my brother will be in this Huayin County, and I will be optimistic about your family business! ”

Jiang Feng next to him had another attitude: "Big brother is really disappointed, if you don't go to me." Brother Xuan, when will you leave, you should inform Brother Wei in advance, Brother Wei has always wanted to go to Beijing with you for a while......"

The beard next to him smiled slyly at Qing'er, but there was envy and yearning that could not be concealed in the smile. Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes:

"I just returned home today, and I thought about returning to Beijing again, this husband ......"
