Chapter 53: The Family History of the Year of the Dragon and the Crane (I)
Long Henian's surname is Long, his name is Crane Year, and he is a person who has seen the world, and his mind and insight are naturally superior.
Long Xiugong, the ancestor of the dragon crane year, was born in the Tang Dynasty, and the official was a scholar of the Ministry of Rites.
The dragon lineage continues with the change of dynasties, and it is endless.
To the year of the dragon crane father Long Jianqing generation, when he was four years old, Long Jianqing's grandfather began to teach him "Three Character Classic", "Thousand Character Text", etc., "Jinshi Dream" is his Long family in the past dynasties of the body and Long Jianqing since childhood is not only studious, but also smart, through the eyes into the recitation, its diligence and studious can be seen, it is not difficult to see that he has great ambitions since he was a child, so he is well-read.
When he was eighteen years old, Long Jianqing was admitted to the township examination to solve the yuan, and he has been trying to enter the palace and the first, and the official is the prime minister.
Long Jianqing is not only knowledgeable, but also very commendable in character, his national thought is infiltrated with the profound spirit of traditional Chinese etiquette and culture, and later died of illness in the capital at the age of 77.
In the year of the dragon crane, he himself, inherited the inheritance of his ancestors, excelled in learning, and participated in the imperial examination at the age of 17.
The first, second, and third levels are the old rules - the hospital test, the township test, and the general test, and he passed it without much effort.
When it came to the fourth level of the palace test, he was not so lucky this time.
The examiner is only about money. Therefore, let you be only eight buckets high in the year of the dragon and crane, if you don't let go of some money, you won't want to pass the test.
However, the arrogant Long He Nian didn't eat the examiner's set and went home.
Another three years later, the former Du Longlang is here again.
In this exam, Long Henian is even more handy, and he writes like a god.
The examiner highly recommended his papers, and the examiner also appreciated them very much and prepared for admission.
However, he once again lost his name to Sun Shan. The main reason is that an official made something out of nothing and reported that Long Henian used improper means and took advantage of his father's relationship to visit the chief examiner.
For this reason, the Year of the Dragon Crane fell into depression and loss.
Later, in the year of Long He, he became a scholar of the Ministry of Rites with his great talent, and the emperor also gave him "the same Jinshi background".
However, he was often ridiculed by officials in the DPRK and China as a fellow jinshi.
Long Henian couldn't get used to seeing the ministers of the court and the central government tend to be inflammatory, so he had the idea of not being an official in the court, but being a local parent official, and made it clear to the emperor.
The emperor was sent to Zhaozhou, Lingnan, as the prefect.
Long He is full of reading four books and five classics, and has the talent of the heavens and latitudes, although he is no longer a Beijing official, but he is a prefect who guards the local parents, and his life is also very comfortable, who knows that the good times will not last long.
Early that morning, a tall and thin man came to the Zhaozhou Yamen to beat the drum noisily.
This person's name is Xu Dingfu, and he is happy to twist tricks and make fun of people. But no one can beat him, even the prefect is afraid of him three points, and the new prefects have to visit him in person, send some silver taels, make friends with him, and tie the knot, so that everyone can be happy and have nothing to do.
Long He came here at the beginning of the year, and he also heard a little. He was so proud of his talent that he didn't take it to heart at all.
Xu Dingfu saw that the new prefect looked down on him, and decided to play tricks on him, pluck a few tiger whiskers, and let him know his interests.
That night, Xu Dingfu found a helper, gave some silver taels, and asked the helper to wrap a bag of fresh things in paper and secretly put them in the government at night.
Long He has been in Zhaozhou for more than half a year, and he has not officially sat in the court and tried the case.
In the year of the dragon crane, he ascended to the hall and ordered: "Pass the drummers up!" ”
Xu Dingfu handed over the pleadings and asked the prefect to try the case.
Long Henian opened the pleadings and saw that it read: The ploughing cattle were stolen last night, and I implore the prefect to catch the cattle thief.
Long Henian saw that his writing was not very accurate last night, so he asked: What time was your ploughing cattle stolen last night? ”
Xu Dingfu replied: "It was thirteen o'clock last night. ”
Long Henian pondered: "At thirteen o'clock last night? Thirteen o'clock, it should be one o'clock, right? So, he said to Xu Dingfu: "You said that you lost the cow at one o'clock last night, right?" ”
Xu Dingfu said: "As the prefect said, my cattle were stolen at one o'clock last night. Lord Prefect, how do you know it's one o'clock? You must have caught the cattle thief. ”
Long Henian said: "No. ”
Xu Dingfu said: "How could the old man be sure that he lost the cow at one o'clock?" There must be something strange among them, maybe your prefect stole my cow! Or you would know so well! ”
The two of you said a word, and I quarreled in the court.
Seeing that he was so arrogant, Long Henian reprimanded: "What real evidence do you have?" ”
Xu Dingfu pulled Long Henian to look for cattle inside and outside the mansion.
In the backyard of the government office, a pile of fresh cow dung was found.
Xu Dingfu looked at Long Henian and asked, "Lord Prefect, the government is a clean place, where does cow come from?" It is clearly the evidence that the prefect stole the cow and left it behind! ”
In the year of the dragon crane, there was only "dumb people eating coptis", and after giving some broken silver and sending away Xu Dingfu, I couldn't help but sigh: I think of my year of the dragon crane, I have read poetry and books all my life, I am very knowledgeable, I am a person from a high background, and I can't imagine that I am planted in the hands of this villain in the mountains.
Long Henian married his wife Li Shuzhen, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the Long family, the eldest son Long Rifu, the second son Long Rixiang, and the daughter Long Xiujuan. Under the discipline of his strict father, Long Rixiang practiced eighteen kinds of martial arts to hide, inherited the Long family's style of cultivating and reading heirlooms until Rifu, Rixiang, and Xiujuan, and after they became a family, when they separated, because of the dragon crane year, they gave a share to their daughter Xiujuan, Rifu and Rixiang thought that girls were outgoing and could not share a piece of family property to the third sister.
But because of the majesty of his father, he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, and since then he has formed a grudge and become a rival, and the chickens and dogs have heard each other, and they have never interacted with each other.
……
That day, Xiaolongfei saw Liang Wenda and they were back to school with their schoolbags, and after playing with the chickens at the door of the house with his sister for a while, he went to play alone.
The sun reclined lazily in the air, watching the white clouds of cotton wool swing beneath his feet.
Xiao Longfei walked out of the village and came to a hill, where a pheasant escaped with a limp leg from the grass in front of him, and ran desperately to the hillside at the edge of the village. A brown fur fox swings its hooves and tails in pursuit.
Xiao Longfei broke a branch and chased it down the hillside.
When I went up to the top of the hill, I saw that the pheasant was bitten by the fox on the tail and let out a terrible cry of struggle.
The little dragon flew forward, lifted the branch, and slammed it into the fox's side.
The fox was struck and startled, and as soon as he let go of the pheasant, he ran into the bush on the left.
The pheasant "cooed" a few times at Xiao Longfei, as if thanking Xiao Longfei for saving his life. And then left.
The little dragon flew up to the top of the slope, and the mountain wind blew, as if there was the sound of a book.
Xiao Longfei followed the sound of the book.
As soon as he went, he was destined to have a relationship with the school in the Year of the Dragon Crane, and subtly resolved his father's long-standing grudge against his grandfather, and embarked on a road that was tied to Confucianism.
