On the first day of the first month of March, Zeng Yu returned to Shangrao, went to the Minglun Hall of Fuxue every morning to listen to Professor Zhang's lectures, took time to participate in several literary meetings, and discussed Shiwen with all students to prepare for the August Township Test.

On the afternoon of the ninth day of the first month, Zeng Yu accompanied his mother to play with flowers and plants in the back garden, while discussing the matter of returning to Yongfeng Shitian to sweep the tomb for two days, March 13 is the annual Qingming Festival, Zeng Yu considered that in the future, whether the imperial examination is smooth or not, he is away from his hometown for many days, if he wants to rush back to Shitian to sweep the tomb in other provinces, it is very inconvenient, so this year's Qingming must go back to Shitian, great-mother Zhou and Niu Niu left Shitian for almost a year, and also want to take the opportunity of Qingming tomb sweeping to go back to see, so it was agreed to leave the day after tomorrow to return to Yongfeng -

I could hear the sound of drums from afar, and it seemed that I was coming to Zeng's house, and it was very lively, Zeng Yuxin said: "What's the happy thing, I haven't participated in the township test yet." "Tell Sixi to go outside the gate to see what is going on.

After a while, Sixi rushed in to report the good news and said: "Grandma, young master, great joy, the emperor has decreed the official, the emperor has decreed the official-"

In the first month, Hu Zongxian sent someone to reward Zeng Yu, saying that he would posthumously seal the official positions of Zeng Yu's grandfather and father, as well as Zeng Yu's grandmother and biological mother's widow.

Zeng Yuming Sixi, Yu Niang, and Du Ma hurriedly went to the front hall to prepare the incense case, and he quickly changed into a student dress, and several servants from Guangxin Mansion had already rushed over, saying that Lord Fuzun would arrive soon, and there were officials from the Nanjing Ministry of Rites who made a special trip to promulgate the edict.

The firecrackers "crackled" upward, the drums were boiling, the onlookers in front of the gate of Zeng's house were rubbing shoulders, Zeng Yu welcomed Lin Zhifu and a six-grade chief of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites and Ceremonial Officials into the main hall, and Zeng's mother Zhou also came out to kneel to receive the court reward.

Zeng Yu's grandfather and father were enshrined as the seven-rank dismissive undertaker, Zeng Yu's mother-in-law Gao's and biological mother Zhou's were enshrined as seven-grade widows, and great-mother Zhou's gave seven-grade women's dresses, and ten brocades, one hundred taels of silver, and thousands of treasure banknotes.

Compared with the last time the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Hu Zongxian's rich money and material rewards, the court's reward is important in the famous weapon, Zeng Yu can honor his ancestors with a small show, the Ming Dynasty has been rare since the founding of the country, the beautiful talk about Zeng Yu is spread everywhere outside the city of Shangrao, and there is an endless stream of people who come to see the excitement in front of Zeng's house, and they are all in the neighborhood to congratulate them, Zeng Yu entered the mansion to accompany the Nanjing Rite Department when the banquet was held, the wife of the Lin Governor's Mansion An Yiren also took the great-mother Zhou and Niuniu into the inner courtyard to dine and talk.

Since the ancestors were posthumously sealed, of course, they had to worship their ancestors to report the good news, and a scribe and two officials from the Yali Branch of the Lin Governor's Mansion returned to Yongfeng with Zeng Yu to worship their ancestors, declare the grace of the imperial court, and reward fifty taels of silver for repairing the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb.

On the evening of March 11, when Zeng Yu's family and Zhu Dedong and Zeng Ruolan's family of five were moored at the port outside the south gate of Yongfeng County, Zeng Qian's father-in-law Xie Yuanwai and his eldest son Xie Mantang had been waiting for a long time, the enthusiasm of the Xie family made Zeng Yu's mother and son unable to resist, and the daughters of the Xie family also came several, flattering Zeng Yu's mother and Niu Niu in every way, and tried their best to invite them to the Xie family's mansion to rest. Xie Zidan, who had a grudge and conflict with Zeng Yu before, didn't even see a shadow, presumably because he was ordered by his father and brother to avoid it for the time being, so as not to arouse old hatred, the Xie family obviously underestimated Zeng Yu's strength with his own people.

The next morning, Zeng Yu rushed to Xishan to meet the old Han Lin Lu Huai, Lu Huai to him is encouraged, is the narration, Yongfeng Sizhi County sent the official to invite Lu Huai and Zeng Yu to the county luncheon, Zeng Yu's current identity is extraordinary, the thief meritorious service by the imperial court and become the dragon of the dragon and the real man's mansion of Longhu Mountain, this is also the glory of the entire Yongfeng County, both the prefect of Lin, the county order also from the county household room allocated thirty taels of silver for Zeng Yu back to Shitian to repair the ancestral hall and ancestral tomb.

In the afternoon of the same day, Zeng Yu's family took a boat to Shanxi Station accompanied by the government and county officials, accompanied by Xie Mantang and a few stone carpenters, Zeng Qian and Liu Jiachang of Ishida were already waiting at the port, and the sedan chair driver and porter were hired, and they rushed to Shitian fifteen miles away.

Niuniu sat in the sedan chair with her mother, her head half poked out of the sedan window and looked at the post pavilion that was somewhat remnant, she remembered that her brother carried her on her back in the rain last year, and took shelter from the rain in this pavilion, she was really cold and scared at that time, looking at the rain and fog floating outside the pavilion, the little girl can also feel the desolation of her life experience, fortunately, with her brother and mother, everything is fine, I still remember that she lay on her brother's back and asked her brother what kind of sister-in-law she wants to marry in the future, and her brother said that she wants Niuniu to take a fancy to it......

Thinking of this, Niuniu couldn't help but laugh "Gege", and her mother asked her what she was laughing at? Niuniu said: "I think of the little fairy sister-in-law and brother who were trapped on the mountain in the rain." ”

Great-mother Zhou also smiled when she heard this, and looked at Zeng Yu who was riding a horse and walking in front with Niuniu.

It was dusk when the group arrived at Ishida, the sunset was shining, the water surface of Fengxi was sparkling, and the hunchbacked old man ferried back and forth three times before sending Zeng Yu and his party of more than 20 people to the left bank of Fengxi.

Niu Niu believed it and asked the hunchbacked old man how he could see his brother's extraordinary?

The old man has been ferrying for many years and chatting with people about the ancients, good at making up stories, and now he pinched the broken silver given by Sixi and said with a smile: "Miss Niuniu, and listen to the camel slowly, once I was napping on this side of the river in the summer, I didn't hear the young master on the other side of the river calling me to ferry, and suddenly I had a dream, an old official with a white beard and a protruding forehead knocked on my knee with a cane to remind me that there was a Wenqu star on the other side of the bank to hurry up to meet me, I woke up with a spirit, and I heard the young master of the Zeng family calling the boat on the other side, and the camel held the boat over to take the young master Zeng across the river, When Young Master Zeng walked away, the camel suddenly woke up to the fact that the white-bearded old official in the dream was the land lord in the small temple at the foot of the mountain, and the land lord entrusted the dream - the camel didn't dare to talk nonsense to others, today it was Miss Niuniu who asked, and the old camel leaked the heavenly secret, hehehe. ”

Several officials in the prefecture and county, as well as Xie Mantang, Liu Jiachang and others, all flattered Zeng Yulai, as if Zeng Yu was really a Wenqu star, Zeng Yu shook his head and smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, I have taken the Xiucai test three times, is Wenqu Xing like this, and if I don't win the test in Kexiang Township, I will come to you to trouble you, and see if you dare to make up strange stories again." ”

The hunchbacked old man smiled and said: "Must be hit, must be hit, Young Master Zeng must be in high school today." He said in his heart: "If you don't pass the exam, can you still come and take away the penny of my old camel." ”

Zeng Qian was happy to hear it, and rewarded the old man with a string of copper coins for him to buy a roast chicken to drink, and the group of people entered the stone field lively, in the twilight of spring, after sunset, the sky gets dark quickly, the town of Ishida is already brightly lit, and the people of Ishida are even more welcome, since Ishida has settled into a small market town, this is the top priority, who would have thought that the stubborn son of the Zeng family could be so glorious?

Rich and noble do not return to their hometown, such as brocade clothes at night, in front of old friends and old acquaintances to show off, although Zeng Yu is not rich, but also can be regarded as famous and famous, for the flattery and good words of the neighbors, Zeng Yu can still be calm and self-controlled, it is rare that the great-mother Zhou also showed a decent graceful bearing, not like the fate of the miserable and humble pattern of the attitude -

Zeng Qian was originally worried that Zeng Yu's mother would show resentment towards his wife Xie and even attack on the spot, after all, Xie has not been virtuous to Zeng Yu's mother and son over the years, Zeng Yu often studied abroad, and he was less angry, Zeng Yu's mother and Xie were in the same hospital, and they suffered a lot of grievances, and now Zeng Yu has got ahead, and Zhou is a widow, if you want to settle old accounts with Xie, Xie Mantang doesn't dare to say half a "no" here, so Zeng Yu is worried-

Although Zeng Yu's mother Zhou was born as a child concubine, Zeng Yu's father did not correct when he was alive, but this time the county and the government ceremonial room reported to the Nanjing Ministry of Rites that Zhou was regarded as the step-room of his great-father, and now the imperial court has issued an edict, and Zhou is already a seven-grade widow of the imperial court. And Zeng Yu's wife Xie Shi was even more advised by her husband and the strict advice of her father and brother, if Zeng Yu's mother wants to vent her anger, she must endure being beaten and scolded by Xie Shi, otherwise Yongfeng Xie's family will not have a good life in the future, so Xie Shi also put away her fierce temperament, and was ready to bear Zeng Yu's mother's cynicism and even scolding, but Zeng Yu's mother smiled and didn't even say half a word of complaint, which made Xie feel a little bit like his feet didn't touch the ground, life can't bear it, and the rest is shame.

Great-mother Zhou and her son have the same idea, they are all their own family, although there were contradictions in the past, but there is no need to settle accounts one by one, the most important thing for people is to live well, not to put on a smug and frivolous face for a bad breath, and from Xie's cowardly and ashamed demeanor, great-mother Zhou has been satisfied, so why have to tear his face and play that hateful majesty.

Family harmony and great joy are all overjoyed.

Two days earlier, Zeng Qian ordered people to prepare the earth, stone and wood used to repair the tomb, and so on Zeng Yu arrived, he started to repair the tomb, Qingming tomb sweeping ancestor worship is the first three after seven can be, so after five days of repair and construction by craftsmen, to March 18, that is, the sixth day after the Qingming Festival, Zeng Yu's grandfather, uncle, father and grandmother Gao's tomb are repaired, and also spent silver money to buy several acres of land before and after the tomb, Zeng Qian and Zeng Yu brothers planted more than 100 pines and cypresses, the cemetery also has weather, the rest will not change, This piece of auspicious soil was personally surveyed by Zeng Yu's grandfather during his lifetime, which can bless the prosperity of Zeng's descendants.

On the afternoon of March 19, in the discussion and admiration of the people of Ishida, Zeng Yu's family left Ishida, Zeng Yu knew that he did not know when he would return to his hometown this time, Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty forty years, he was twenty-one years old, his blood was strong, he was in his prime, although he knew that the world was difficult, but he always had to go through a lot of work to be willing, even if it was not to make meritorious contributions, it was his preference to travel thousands of miles, so he would travel far away.

Back in Shangrao, Zeng Yu began to prepare for the packing, and the replies from Yan Shifang and Yan Shaoqing also arrived, Mr. Yan Er congratulated Zeng Yu on his engagement, and the rest did not say much, only said that they would talk when they met; Yan Shaoqing replied with a long letter, in which he regretted that Zeng Yu and the Zhang family of Longhushan had a hasty engagement, and they did not inform Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi of the news of Zeng Yu's engagement for the time being, so let this matter fade away......

Early in the morning of March 23, Zeng Yu rode the Mongolian horse black bean, the little guy Sixi crossed the donkey Heibao, the master and servant left home and went on the road, Zeng Yu didn't want Sixi to go with him, there are few people in the house who can be called, Sixi is the most powerful, but the mother Zhou is determined to go with Sixi, Zhou said: "Yu'er, you go out this time, you won't come back until September, you are alone, how can the mother rest assured, let Sixi follow a care, there are Yu Ma and Wu Ma in the house, and Yu Ma's husband Lao Liao has also been hired to do long-term work in the house, There are enough people, usually there is your sister Ruolan to take care of you every other day, although you can rest assured when you are outside, you must know the cold and know the warmth, eat less wine, make more friends and be less strong, and don't stay up late to read and write too hard......"

The passenger ship went west, the river breeze was blowing, Zeng Yu stood on the bow of the boat, his mother's advice was still in his ears, he planned to go home after the township test in August this time, yesterday he had visited Lin Zhifu and Professor Zhang, Professor Zhang said that he would arrive in Nanchang at the end of July and early August, when Zeng Yu went to the Yamen to find him, he would be ready for the vouchers and tickets required for the township examination, so that Zeng Yu could prepare for the exam with peace of mind.

In late spring and March, the banks of the Xinjiang River were verdant and continuous, and Sixi, who was standing beside Zeng Yu, was very interested in going far away, and asked: "Young master, should we go to Longhu Mountain this time?" ”

Zeng Yu thought to himself: "I haven't even read a copy of the box of Taoist scriptures that Zhang Guangwei gave me, and I didn't bring that box of Taoist scriptures when I went out this time, if she knew it, she would definitely blame me for not having a strong Taoist heart." said: "No, after meeting with Brother Shi in Yingtan, I will go to Anren, Anren's Jian Xiucai also wrote a letter to Shangrao to care about my safety because of the bandits, we will go to Fenyi this time, so I will go to see him, and I will also go to the Lu family in Jinxi Qingtian." ”

When he said this, the bald and quiet Lu Miaoxiang and the pure and delicate Yan Yingzi swept through his heart, which made Zeng Yu feel depressed.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Qingming rain, spring cold.

Xiao Xiao's cold rain was tight and slow for a while, and the next one was endless, and the fallen leaves of the maple tree accumulated a thick layer, stepping on it "squeaked" and muddy, and the depression would also submerge the upper of the shoe, and the short two-to-three-mile road from the maple grove hut to Jieqiao Village became muddy and difficult to walk.

At dusk in mid-to-late March, still drizzling obliquely, Lu Miao wanted to hold an umbrella on the side of the single-plank bridge and wait for the baby to return from school, raise her eyes to see, the maple trees whose leaves fell bare last winter were covered with green leaves in the spring, and they were more verdant under the moisture of the rain.

Through the branches and leaves of the maple forest, Lu Miaoxiang heard the sound of footsteps approaching, this was the footsteps of the baby, so he raised his voice and called: "Xiaozi-"

Usually, the baby will soon respond: "Mother, it's me." But today is silent, just speed up the pace, out of the maple forest, to the end of the single-plank bridge, this thirteen-year-old girl out of the graceful, in the bridge put away the umbrella, the corner of the mouth twitched, with grievances called "mother", has been holding tears suddenly flowed down, just like that, let the drizzle fall on the hairline, shoulders.

"What's wrong, what's wrong, what's wrong?"

Lu Miaoxiang was surprised, and while asking questions in a hurry, he stepped on the single-plank bridge to walk over-

The girl Babyzi hurriedly said: "Mother, I'll come here, I'll come over." "The bridge is slippery on a rainy day, and my aunt is a small foot, so she is not as fast and agile as she walks.

Lu Miaoxiang waited for the baby to come over, quickly moved the umbrella to cover the baby from the rain, wrapped one hand around his shoulder, and said softly: "Something's wrong, tell me." ”

Ying Zi sobbed and said, "Mr. Fang Tang - Mr. Fang Tang asked me not to go to the clan study tomorrow." ”

Mr. Fang Tang is Yan Shifang, and the students in Yuqing Hall call Yan Shifang Mr. Fang Tang, not by the rank of the clan.

Lu Miaoxiang walked slowly to the wooden house with the baby in her arms, and asked, "What else did Mr. Fang Tang say besides this?" ”

Ying Zi said: "That is to say, I have grown up, and I can't mix with the children of the clan to study, but Yuexiang is one year older than me, and Mr. Fang Tang didn't say that he wouldn't let Yuexiang come to school, just me." ”

There are only three female students in Jieqiao Yan's Yuqingtang clan school, Ying Zi, Yan Yuexiang and Yan Wan'er, Yan Wan'er is the daughter of Yan Shifang, two years younger than Ying Zi.

Lu Miaoxiang comforted: "Xiaozi, don't worry, I'll go to Yuqing Hall with you tomorrow and beg Mr. Fang Tang to let you go to school as usual this year." ”

Babyzi said "um" and said, "Thank you, mother." He put his arms around his aunt's slender waist under his wide robe, and snuggled back to the maple woods.

There is fried fish for dinner, but Lu Miaoxiang only eats green vegetables and tofu, and the fish is only for the baby, after the meal, Lu Miaoxiang cooks a pot of tea as usual, while talking with the baby, the drizzle outside the house, the house is warm and quiet, and the voice of the two is beautiful like a pipe-

Ying Zi said: "Mother, today I asked Wan'er to ask Shaoqing Gongzi when Mr. Zeng will come to Fenyi again, Shaoqing Gongzi said that Mr. Zeng will come at the end of the month, but they will go to Nanchang soon and will not stay in Fenyi." ”

Lu Miao thought: "This year is the year of the township examination, and Mr. Zeng is going to Nanchang for the examination." ”

At the end of last year, Yan Shaoqing's mother came here to talk to Lu Miaoxiang about Yingzi's marriage, and said that she hoped that Zeng Gongzi could win the imperial examination, so that the marriage would be harmonious, so Lu Miaoxiang was also very concerned about this year's Jiangxi Provincial Township Test.

The drizzle outside stopped, and the sky was dark, Lu Miaoxiang said: "Tomorrow, I will go to see Mr. Fang Tang first, and if the weather is fine, I will go to Jichang Garden to visit Mrs. Cao, which can be regarded as a return gift for her visit last year." "Yan Shaoqing's mother Cao intends to promote the marriage of Zeng Yu and Ying Zi, saying that she will write a letter to Yan Shifan to express her feelings, I don't know if Yan Shifan has replied, so Lu Miao wants to send Changyuan to Cao Shi to ask for some news, Ying Zi is thirteen years old, and it is almost time to get engaged.

Early the next morning, Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi had breakfast, the two followed each other to Yuqing Hall, the rainy day for half a month finally cleared, the morning sun rose, the clouds opened the sky, the ancestral hall Ding Lao Yan was sprinkling and sweeping, Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi waited by the courtyard of the school, and after waiting for a while, two Yan children who came early arrived, they came early not to study, but to play before Yan Shifang arrived, seeing Lu Miaoxiang and Yingzi here, these two students sat down and read aloud -

At the end of the day, when Yan Shifang came to Yuqing Hall, he heard the sound of books, and he was very relieved, and he was very relieved that Yan's poetry and rites were heirlooms, and with such a background, his uncle Yan Song stood out, and suddenly saw a female nun standing on the side of the courtyard of the school, thinking that she was here to turn her fate, her brows furrowed, and she raised her eyebrows and said: "Lu's, what's going on?" While letting the students continue to study, he walked to the corner of the patio and waited for Lu Miaoxiang to come over and speak.

The Yan children in the hall who were reading aloud all shut up, they all wanted to hear what Mr. Fang Tang and this beautiful aunt had to say, some people didn't know who this beautiful aunt was?

Yan Shifang's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Read!" ”

The sound of reading sounded in the hall again, some read the "Book of Filial Piety", some read the "Analects", and some recited the "Thousand Poems", for a while, "whining and chirping", like boiling, almost to shake the tiles of the hall, but soon the voice went down again, Yan Shifang turned his head and glared, and the voice went up again, and so on.

Lu Miaoxiang said to Yan Shifang: "Dare to ask Mr. Fang Tang to let Ying Zi finish reading the "Four Books" and "Thousand Poems". ”

Yan Shifang didn't want to talk more to his cousin Yan Shifan's concubine, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, then that's it, you go back first." He turned his head and instructed Yan Ancestral Ding to send Lu Miaoxiang back to the Maple Forest Wooden House.

Lu Miao thought about it: "The poor nun wants to go to Jichang Garden to meet Mrs. Cao, and I implore Mr. Fang Tang to arrange it." ”

Yan Shifang expected that the Lu family was going to ask about the marriage between Zeng Yu and Yingzi, and Yan Shifan's reply to the Cao family knew about it, so it was better for the Cao family to explain it to Lu Miaoxiang, and said: "Steward Wu of Jichangyuan will send something today, so you can go to Jichangyuan with his carriage." ”

Lu Miaoxiang was waiting in the small hall at the front door of Yuqing Hall, at the beginning of the time, Steward Wu really arrived, handed over some daily necessities to the housekeeper of Chashan Hall, and went to Yuqing Hall to see what Yan Shifang ordered, Yan Shifang ordered him to take Lu Miaoxiang to Jichangyuan to see Mrs. Cao, and Steward Wu of course obeyed.

Babyzi said "um" and said, "Thank you, mother." He put his arms around his aunt's slender waist under his wide robe, and snuggled back to the maple woods.
