Chapter 12: The Twelfth Day of Becoming an Old Lady
The tall horse welcomes you, and the horse's head tied with a big red flower is envied by everyone.
coincided with the trial release list of the hospital, and everyone was already thinking about who the safflower came for.
Twenty years have passed, and the grand occasion after Hu Laoda's talent in the examination twenty years ago is the glory of Shanghe Village.
Twenty years later, the excitement of the official messenger announcing the good news was staged again in the Hu family. No, it's grander than it was twenty years ago.
From the entrance of the village to Hu's house, the people who came with joy surrounded the streets. No one cares about the Hu family's marriage to a daughter, what they care about is that there will be another talented man in Shanghe Village.
Cong's eyes were sharp, and he saw a familiar figure beside the officer, left Hu Baozhu, and hurriedly came over.
"Second brother, why are you ......?"
Why did Hu Lao Er come back, the old lady said that she was going to quit this family business!
Compared with Hu Laoda's wealth, Hu Laosan and Hu Laosi are strong, Hu Lao's second plate is straightforward, and his eyes are squinted when he laughs, which is very favorable. At first glance, he looks like a weak-crowned teenager, and no one can guess his age if he doesn't say it.
Hu Lao Er took Cong's hand and signaled her with his eyes not to be impatient.
Cong's face was slightly red, and he gently touched him with his shoulder, staying quietly by his side.
"Student Hu Guangqing, I've seen adults."
Hu Guangqing saluted the official errand. He had packed himself up, his clothes straightened, his crown and hat on, and he was a young man in high spirits.
After confirming his identity, the official jumped off the horse, took out the prepared gift list, and sang:
"Hu Guangqing is the head of this year's hospital examination, and because the county test and the government test are the head of the case, he has the reputation of 'small three yuan'. The county order gave a hundred taels of silver, a set of four treasures of the study, five copybooks, and a pair of jade exquisite...... I hope you will continue to work hard and achieve better results. ”
"Student Hu Guangqing, Lord Xie County."
The crowd exchanged heads and ears, although they didn't know what the "jade exquisite" was, but everyone knew that there were 100 taels of silver. I have heard of "poor talents, rich people", Hu Guangqing is amazing, and he can increase his family's income just after being admitted to Xiucai.
Cong asked Hu Lao Er quietly:
"When the eldest brother was admitted to Xiucai, what did the county magistrate give?"
She thought that any show talent could be appreciated by the county magistrate?
Hu Lao Er shook his head, "None." ”
The Xiucai of "Little Sanyuan" is very different from ordinary Xiucai, it can be said that as long as he does not die, it is only a day and night to become a lifter.
Hu Lao Er looked at Hu Guangqing's eyes and thought that a man was about to appear in their Hu family, and his heart was surging.
Fortunately, fortunately, I didn't offend the third room.
"Congratulations to the head of the case. The prefectural magistrate has read your test papers and is very interested in some of the answers. ”
The official put away his official tone and congratulated Hu Guangqing constantly, and his words were respectful.
Hu Guangqing was also respectful and polite, "I will come to visit another day, and I hope that the county will appreciate it." ”
"Nature, nature."
After the greetings, the official changed his words, and his eyes showed a cold light.
"Is there someone here looking for trouble with the head of the Hu case?"
He has the heart to make friends with Hu Guangqing, and he dozed off and handed over a pillow, what can bring him closer than helping to deal with trouble?
Qian Da's back in the crowd was already soaked, and he secretly hated Boss Hu in his heart for harming people, he knew that Hu Guangqing had this ability, he ate the bear's heart leopard and dared to go against Xiucaigong!
Hu Guangqing knew that the official wanted to help him, but this kind of favor was not owed. Just as he was about to speak, he caught a glimpse of the old lady looking at him lovingly.
The old lady's face was really not good-looking, but those eyes added a lot of color to the ugly face, and it was barely loving.
Thinking that the old lady slapped Boss Hu just now, Hu Guangqing signaled that the old lady was in charge of the matter.
How can an old lady not love such a smart grandson?
She smiled kindly at the official:
"No one is bothering our Hu family. Isn't it, big money? ”
Turning his head, his gaze has become sharp.
How dare Qian Da, who was named, confront the old lady? borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and quickly nodded his head:
"Yes, yes. It's all a misunderstanding. ”
He smiled flatteringly at the old lady. Now the old lady's words are his life-saving straw, and Qian Da seized the opportunity and retreated.
"Old lady, the Hu family is happy today, and it is inconvenient for us to disturb ......"
The Hu family has two talented dukes, even if they don't dare to bother in the future!
The old lady is such an unreasonable person?
"Wait! If the marriage is concluded with two surnames, the bride price should also be refunded when the marriage is withdrawn. After a few days, the Hu family will return the bride price with both hands. ”
Divorce is not an enemy, and the Hu family, who has two talents, does not dare to provoke the Qian family, but the bride price money should be refunded, and the Hu family does not take advantage of this.
Qian Da thought that his family would be able to draw water in a bamboo basket, and it would be great if the old lady could be the master. It doesn't matter if you marry the daughter of the Hu family or not, the money can't be less.
"The old lady is benevolent." Qian Da burst into tears, and he said this sincerely.
After that, don't dare to disturb again, and leave quickly with people.
The old lady took out a bag of broken silver from the house, and divided it into twos and threes to the official messenger who announced the good news. Today's good news gave the Hu family a big face, presumably in less than half a day, Hu Guangqing's talent in the examination will spread all over the country.
Sending off the official errand, the crowd still doesn't want to disperse, this is a freshly baked showman, don't you have to take a good look?
Many people began to inquire about Hu Guangqing's marriage to the Xiao Tian family, and directly made Hu Guangqing blush.
The lively scene did not stop until the sun set, and the Hu family gathered in the old lady's courtyard, and everyone was in danger.
With the happy events out of the way, it's time to talk about something else.
There is joy today, the old lady is full of red face, smiling without anger. is a talented woman again, and she is a talented grandson, and she, an old lady in charge, is flattered and flattered. After listening to it a lot, the mood is naturally relaxed.
"Guangqing, come."
The old lady beckoned to Hu Guangqing, thinking that with her current status, she had to be responsible for a few words of encouragement, so she said:
"From now on, you are Xiucaigong. Be cautious in your words and deeds, and know what you know. Don't be arrogant and rash, and don't be reckless. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Hu family looked like they had seen a ghost, and even Hu Guangqing was suspicious.
Such a learned word, can it be said by an old lady?
Only then did the old lady react, she got carried away for a while, and almost turned over the character.
However, she has a high status as an old man, and she is whatever she says.
"Why, do you really think I'm an old country lady who doesn't know anything?"
The old lady's face was grim and she pretended to be angry. Suddenly, the Hu family didn't dare to suspect anything anymore.
In the early years, Mrs. Hu also followed Hu Laohan through the south and the north. Even if the old lady is an old country lady, she is also an old country lady who has seen the world.
"Milk, I know it's wrong."
Hu Guangqing humbly admitted his mistake, if he had found out who the person under the hijab was in advance, he would not have caused such embarrassment.
is young and frivolous, but the old lady thinks that such Hu Guangqing is alive.
"Grandma wants to praise you and save your sister-in-law at a critical moment. Otherwise, when she leaves the Hu family, she will become the wife of the Qian family. Let's try to save her again, I can't tell. ”
The old lady glanced at her, Hu Baozhu shuddered, hurriedly stepped forward and put a silver ticket on the table, shaking her head and begging for mercy:
"Mother, I was wrong, I don't want to marry into the Qian family. This is given to me by my eldest brother, I don't want it. ”
The moment she put on her wedding dress and walked out of the door, she felt the same way as Hu Yan'er. No matter how much silver she gave, she didn't want to marry Qian Dayou.
Another silver ticket of one hundred taels of silver appeared, before Hu Yan'er was married, Boss Hu also gave the old lady such a silver ticket of one hundred taels, saying that it was a bride price.
The old lady glanced at the silver ticket and looked at Boss Hu:
"Boss, what do you say about this?"
Boss Hu's face is normal on one side, and it is swollen like a pig's head on the other. The big swollen bun squeezed the space of the eyes, and the eyes that were originally quite big were now squinted into slits. Because of his poor image, he didn't dare to show up at such an opportunity to show his face today.
If the old lady hadn't summoned everyone over, he would still be hiding in his room.
"Whatever my mother says, it's what it is."
Boss Hu hung his head, reluctant in his mouth.
Today he has lost a big face, what face is gone, so much?
The old lady said:
"I said? I said that I would withdraw from the marriage and return the bride price money to the Qian family. ”
"It's okay." Boss Hu was very single, and the corner of his eye glanced at Hu Guangqing, and he was not angry to the extreme.
"Anyway, the Hu family has a rookie talent, and it's not bad for me."
As soon as these words came out, Hu Laosan shouted that he was wronged. The honest farmer rubbed his hands together, and begged the eldest brother not to say such things, he couldn't bear it.
Boss Hu still wanted to be a demon, and the old lady made the final decision:
"That's true."
The Hu family has a rookie talent, and it is indeed not inferior to him, an old talent.
Boss Hu: "......"
Hu Laosan: "......"
