Chapter 312, diligence and prosperity
Shen has cried enough, there are already eunuchs holding a set of five-grade fateful clothes, the top is a finely embroidered cloud and mandarin duck pattern of the xiaxia, and then a round neck right weave double phoenix and folded branches miscellaneous treasure satin dress, below is the same color jacket, collar big sleeve placket, fine embroidered tangled branches. In addition to clothes, there is also a jade Ruyi, a women's ring.
Shen took the clothes with both hands and kowtowed again to thank him.
The red-clothed official waited for Shen to finish kowtowing and said, "There is still grace on the Holy Lord, and I will give you two plaques for the imperial pen door, and now I will install them for you, thank you." ”
The Zeng family knelt down again, there were two people carrying a piece of yellow cloth covered with the door plaque, someone had already entered the house and moved the high table out, the door plaque was hung up, replaced the previous one, in a firecracker sound, the yellow cloth was opened, only to see the door plaque written on the four words "Jinshi and the first", and there were already eunuchs shouting: "This is the ink treasure written by the Holy Lord's own hand, all kneeling down to worship." ”
At this time, not only Ziqing's family, but also the surrounding officials and villagers knelt down in unison.
At this time, Zifu came back with the little servant on a fast horse, and he didn't care about greetings, so he knelt down first to thank him.
When everyone entered the garden gate, the first thing that caught their eyes was the watermelons and vegetables in the same place, and the red-clothed official nodded secretly. Walking to the door of the courtyard of the main house, someone had already brought a high table over, stood up, and two more people carried a door plaque that was still covered with yellow cloth, this time it was the words "diligence and prosperity".
Everyone knelt down again, got up and entered the main hall, Zeng Ruixiang and his four sons were busy entertaining guests, Shen and Fu discussed rewarding the officials and eunuchs who came with them, Ziqing and Yang, with maids and Shi Pozi to prepare a table of guest dinner, originally Ziqing wanted Wang Pozi to prepare. Ke Zixi said secretly. It's better to have a rural taste, after all, these people want to go back to the emperor to get back to their lives.
It was easy to send them all away, and Shen was still dazed, standing at the door of his house. Looking at the plaque on the door, I couldn't believe the facts. "Dad, have I really become Mrs. Fate?"
"Not really. [~] Mother, Xiao Si is much more powerful than me, originally I thought that after a few years, I was promoted from the fifth grade, and I could ask for a seal for my mother, but I didn't expect Xiao Si to do it so quickly. I also heard the news yesterday. It's late, it's not easy to hurry, and as soon as it's dawn in the early hours of this morning, I got up and rushed back, mother. It's really good, in the future, whoever dares to be disrespectful to you is disrespectful to the emperor, and those who are lower in grade than you will kneel down for you. Zifu said.
Tian Shi listened to this on the side, and his face was very ugly, but at this time. No one cares to see her.
Because Zixi was talking to everyone about the banquet of the Emperor of the Imperial Garden, how could he give the Shen family a seal due to fate, "So, big brother, you also have a share of credit here, to be exact." There are four credits of our brothers, because the emperor said, not to mention the farmer, it is an ordinary scholar's family, and it is difficult to have a family of four sons who have become Xiucai, and there are two Jinshi, not to mention that our family still relies on the hands of our father and mother, and earned this small landlord's family business from the poor farmer, which is even more commendable. ”
"If you want to say this, it is still Qing'er's greatest credit, if Qing'er didn't have the idea of selling couplets, there would be no later purchase of watermelon seeds, and naturally there would be no good things behind." Zifu said.
Ziqing saw that everyone was looking at her, and even Zeng Ruixiang said: "That's true, Qing'er is a lucky star for all of us." ”
"Looking at what my father and eldest brother said, I was just in a hurry. If there are no watermelon seeds, our family will raise those chickens and ducks, as well as my mother's embroidery, life will always get better, but it will be slower. Ziqing said.
"I don't know others, I can have today, I can't do without my sister's teachings, my father and mother have just worshipped, sister, please take a seat, and be worshiped by my younger brother." Zixi Zhengse said.
Ziqing smiled and twisted Zixi, and said, "You don't have to say goodbye, just remember your sister diligently." My sister doesn't want anything from you, you're good, better than anything. [~]”
Zixi listened to Ziqing and said, "Sister has a life, and my brother will not dare to forget." ”
Ziqing smiled and rubbed her happy head, and said, "Sister, it's still strange that you can't adapt to it, you still change back to your original appearance." ”
The crowd laughed.
Zeng Ruixiang discussed with everyone about the wine, Ziqing saw this and went home, tired of this day, he had long wanted to lie down and rest.
The next day, Ziqing returned to his parents' house early, Zifu was preparing to return to Changzhou, he temporarily took a day off to rush back, everyone just arrived at the door, Shen Jianren and his family took He to get off the donkey cart.
Xiao Shi saw Shen Shi and smiled: "Sister is overjoyed, congratulations to my sister, my sister has now become Mrs. Destiny, but she can no longer imagine the glory." Our mother knew, but she cried for half the night, saying that you finally survived. How's that, I still can't make a mistake with this medium? In the past, when your third brother saw the hardships you suffered, he complained to me a lot. ”
"It's the children who are competing, the six children I raised, all of them are outstanding, even the youngest Yu'er is much stronger than I was back then, I'm already content. Looking at them now, I can't care about how much resentment and hatred there is. Speaking of which, I have to thank those hard days in the past, if there were no tribulations, Zifu would not have been sensible so early. After Shen finished speaking, he held He's hand before the morning, and the mother and daughter met each other in tears.
"Yes, the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, my sister should think like this, and I am also curious, how did my sister teach these children so well? These days, our mother has been nagging them a lot, I knew that this was the case, a few of my family, let you do this, and follow to learn some interest. Xiao Shi also laughed while wiping his tears.
Zifu exchanged a few simple greetings with He's family, and asked Shen Jianren about the plans of his two sons by the way, "Uncle has thought about it, but you can bring me a letter and ask me to say that it is better for my cousins to go back to Anzhou." ”
"No, it's good to reunite the family, there's nothing wrong with the third child, he sold the family business directly, the boss, maybe you still have to ask your nephew to find a way out, you look at the plan, just don't embarrass the nephew." Xiao said.
Zifu nodded and rode away.
Everyone here just wanted to enter the house, the old man and Tian accompanied Zeng Ruiqing, Shen's face sank, Ziqing hurriedly pushed Zixi, and Zixi stood next to Zeng Ruixiang.
Xiao naturally stepped forward to salute the old man and Tian, it was her uncle and aunt, and Zeng Ruiqing also called out, "Big cousin." "They grew up together when they were young, and they still had a little affection, but later because of the marriage of the Shen family and the eccentricity of the Tian family, the positions of the several of them were different, and they gradually became separated.
The matter of the two brothers, Xiao Shi naturally did not intervene, and she only knew about Zeng Ruiqing's private deposit of silver and silver in the small family, and she couldn't intercede for Zeng Ruiqing.
The old man was just about to speak, Zeng Ruixiang said, "Dad, do you have something?" If not, you can go into the house and have a cup of tea with my third brother. ”
The old man listened, looked at Zeng Ruixiang, pondered for a while, and said, "Okay." Your eldest brother wants to say a few words to you, you listen. ”
Xiao stepped forward and carried Tian into the house, Ziqing hugged He, Ziyu helped Shen, and Zeng Ruiqing and Zeng Ruixiang were left outside.
Zeng Ruiqing saw that Zeng Ruixiang cared about his face, and his heart was overjoyed, and said: "Second brother, our brother has been divided these days, and he was a fool to be the eldest brother. You also know that the eldest brother is a good-looking person, you found a bunch of irrelevant people, the eldest brother was angry, so he said the angry words of the bridge to the bridge and the road to the road, you also know, my father only gave birth to our two sons, and my father is now a year old, can you bear to let my father go with regrets? That's really a big unfilial piety? Second, you are a scholar, don't you pay the most attention to these ethics and filial piety? ”
"Big brother, I've heard too many of these words over the years, my father forced me like this, my mother forced me like this, you forced me like this, and Chunyu, one by one, you all want to force me with this filial piety, I have all relied on you, and I have listened to you, but what is the result? Spare me the money, you are still laughing at me in the back, I am like a fool, I am being smoked by you, do you think that to this day, I will still listen to you? Big brother, if you want nothing else, please go back. ”
Zeng Ruiqing's face darkened when he heard this, he had come in person today, and he lowered his figure, but he didn't expect that Zeng Ruixiang blocked his back road with a few words, his habitual thinking was that he could be wrong, but Zeng Ruixiang couldn't give him no face at all, so he pulled down his face to speak.
At this time, Lord Fu and Mrs. Fu came to the door, Zeng Ruixiang didn't care about breaking with Zeng Ruiqing, Zeng Ruiqing saw that Zeng Ruixiang had no intention of introducing him, so he had to hate and leave.
The Fu family came over today, just to congratulate them, the Shen family introduced the He family, the Tian family and the Xiao family, Mrs. Fu greeted them one by one, and the Xiao family replied: "I can't help it, Mrs. is really tormenting us." ”
"Yes, you are all the elders of my daughter and son-in-law, you should be, we are here today, we are only talking about relatives." Mrs. Fu said. The status of the Zeng family is actually higher than that of the Fu family, and the emperor not only sealed the Shen family's edict unusually, but also gave two door plaques, who dares to underestimate it?
Mrs. Fu whispered a few words to her mother-in-law, and from the congratulatory gifts she brought, she picked out two crimson silk with Fushou dark patterns, one for He, one for Tian, and one for Xiao's rose-red.
Ziqing and the Yang, Chen, and Fu families hid in Ziyu's room to talk, Ziqing always felt as if there was one less person today, and it took a long time to remember and ask, "Sister-in-law didn't come?" "Qiu Yu is so close, there is no reason not to come. (To be continued.)
