Chapter 174: It's Good
Lu Yanxuan was silent for a moment, then bowed down and said, "Thank you for your advice." ”
Yu Mingzhi nodded and waved his hand to signal Lu Yanxuan to sit back.
As soon as Lu Yanxuan sat down, Lu Zhian walked in, "My lord, third uncle." The patriarch and the village chief, they are coming. ”
Lu Zheng was slightly stunned, looked at Yu Mingzhi and said, "My lord, I'll take a look." ”
"Well, Uncle Lu go." Yu Mingzhi nodded.
As soon as Lu Zheng stepped into the courtyard, the patriarch and his party of four walked over.
"Xiaozheng!"
Lu Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and greeted him with a smile, "Uncle Patriarch, Zhu Lizheng, Kang Cheng, Zhiqian, why are you here?" ”
"Uncle Zheng." Lu Zhiqian shouted with a smile.
Originally, he didn't come, but grandpa said that the county magistrate was here, so he had to pull him along so that he could show his face in front of the magistrate.
"Uncle Zheng, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, I accompanied my grandfather to come and see you, a little gift, don't dislike it." Lu Zhiqian smiled and handed the gift in his hand to Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng paused and took it with a smile, "Uncle Patriarch is polite." ”
"Hahaha, I wanted to go with the patriarch's uncle, and I happened to meet at the door, so we came in together." Lu Kangcheng also stretched out his hand and handed over the gift, signaling Lu Zheng to take it quickly.
Lu Zheng glared at him, and Lu Kangcheng glared back unceremoniously.
Seeing this, Zhu Guoren nodded again and again, "That's right, that's right, this is really a coincidence." Brother Lu Zheng, don't be disgusted. ”
As he spoke, he handed over the gift as well.
"Hehe, I'm glad everyone can come." Lu Zheng twitched the corners of his mouth and took everything. If you can't take it, Lu Zhian will help collect it on the side.
What do you call coming to see him, liar!
Who doesn't know that they are coming for the prefectural magistrate!
However, if the guests come to the door, it is not easy to drive them out.
"Uncle Patriarch, since you are here, let's have a light meal here at noon." Lu Zheng said politely.
The four patriarchs immediately nodded, "Then bother." ”
Lu Zheng: "Hehe, don't bother, don't bother, a few people are sitting in the hall, and the county magistrate is also there." ”
The old patriarch, the village head, and Li Zheng all spoke out in surprise, "The county magistrate is also here!" ”
Lu Zheng blocked his chest in one breath, very speechless.
It's too fake!
There is such a big carriage at the door, how can you not see unless you are blind!
Lu Zhiqian quietly moved two steps back, it was too embarrassing!
"Yes. Let's go, let's go and meet the prefectural magistrate. Lu Zheng slowed down, and said with a smile on his face again.
"Okay, okay, let's go." The old patriarch finished speaking, followed the village chief, Li Zheng took the lead, and walked to the hall.
Lu Zheng:.
But really, I don't treat myself as an outsider at all!
Lu Zhiqian blushed a little, and walked a few steps behind Lu Zheng, "Uncle Lu Zheng, let's go in." ”
"Hmm." Lu Zheng glanced at him and nodded.
Regarding the arrival of the patriarch and others, Yu Mingzhi was not surprised.
"I've seen adults." The patriarch walked to the hall and immediately gave Yu Mingzhi a salute.
Yu Mingzhi smiled faintly and said, "No courtesy." ”
"Master Xie."
The patriarchs straightened up and sat down.
"Zhu Lizheng." Yu Mingzhi shouted.
Zhu Guoren's buttocks, which had just sat down, lifted it up again, "My lord." ”
Yu Mingzhi: "This time the grain tax is very good, and Zhu Li is working hard." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, it's all what should be done." Zhu Guoren was a little flattered and a little proud.
The county magistrate praised him!
Yu Mingzhi smiled, "Zhu Li is sitting down." ”
"Master Xie." Zhu Li smiled in response and sat back on the stool happily.
Finally, it's not like last time, sitting here as a foil.
Staying with the county magistrate twice, Zhu Guoren and the village chief could pick up a few words and talk from time to time.
Until after lunch, when the county magistrate was about to leave, several people were still a little reluctant in their hearts.
Seeing that he is getting more and more familiar, he is going to leave again.
I don't know when we will meet next!
Fortunately, Mrs. County Commander stayed.
When I turned around, I asked the old woman to bring my daughter-in-law over to visit the door. When the old patriarch left with moon cakes, he thought in his heart at the same time.
Oh, the mooncakes were brought by the county magistrate and the county magistrate's wife, and they don't have them in this place in the countryside.
Ouch! This trip is really the right one, Dip Daguang!
"Auntie, Mianniang, I'm going to bother you in the next few days!" Zhuang Jing said embarrassedly.
Li Shi said happily, "Madame is so polite, you can live in our house, that is the blessing of our family." ”
"Auntie, if you call me Madame again, I'll be angry!" Zhuang Jing pretended to be serious and looked at Li Shi and said.
Li's happy expression paused, and he was slightly flustered, "This"
Tang Mian smiled softly, grabbed Li's arm, and said, "Mother, didn't my sister ask you to call her by her name before?" ”
"This" Li Shi looked at Tang Mian, and then at Zhuang Jing with a calm face, and said tentatively: "Then I will call you Xiao Jing from now on!" ”
Zhuang Jing instantly showed her face, "That's it!" ”
"Huh!" Li answered.
Mama Liu was also happy to look at it. Since becoming a sister to Mrs. Lu, Mrs. has been able to associate with more and more people, and her mood has become better and better.
"Auntie, if there is any work I can do at home in the future, you tell me, and I will learn to do it." Zhuang Jing said.
The doctor said that she was not active enough, and suggested that she go to the countryside to walk around, and it was best to do some work in the countryside.
Therefore, when she came to Tang Mian's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, she chose to stay.
Li Shi smiled and nodded, "Okay." ”
Xiao Jing is the county lady, and she is pregnant, so she doesn't dare to support her to work, in case of any accident, maybe she will have to be an enemy.
When Zhuang Jing saw Li's expression, she knew that what she said was just a prevarication.
Let's see for herself what she can do. Really, these things have never been done.
"Sister, you have been sitting all morning, go and rest first!" Tang Mian said on the side.
Mama Liu agreed, "Mrs. Lu is right, Mrs. should take a lunch break." ”
If you were in the county office, you would have almost rested at this time.
"Okay, I'll go and rest in the house for a while." Zhuang Jing also felt a little tired, so she did not object to Tang Mian's proposal.
Tang Mian listened and took Zhuang Jing to the strong study.
Here, it was changed into a temporary residence for Zhuang Jing. There are beds in the house, and there are soft couches. Mama Liu slept on the soft couch, and the little maid made a bunk in front of the bed.
As for Feixing, before Feiyue came, she was on night duty in the house to protect Zhuang Jing's safety.
The other side
After Lu Guang led the family back, he called his two sons and eldest grandson into the hall.
"Yan Xuan, tell me, what happened in the academy?" Lu Guang frowned, looked at Lu Yanxuan with a serious expression and asked.
When Lu Zhian and Lu Zhishun heard this, they all turned their heads to look at Lu Yanxuan.
Feeling the sight of the three elders, Lu Yanxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Yan Bang and I are the only two people who have written a letter of recommendation since the county magistrate took office for two years. The people who asked for the trust of the county magistrate before had some power and wealth, but they were all rejected by the magistrate, and they naturally had complaints and dissatisfaction with me and Yan Bang. ”
"So, they made a stumbling block for you and Yanbang in the academy?" As soon as Lu Yanxuan's voice fell, Lu Guang asked.
Lu Yanxuan nodded, "That's true." They advertised in the academy, and Yan Bang and I were recommended by the county magistrate."
"In this way, I'm afraid you two have become the public enemies of the whole academy, right?" Before Lu Yanxuan finished speaking, Lu Zhi took it by the way.
The other three people in the hall all looked at him, and Lu Zhishun smiled.
"The second uncle is right, it's pretty much so." Lu Yanxuan nodded, "Since we entered the academy, as long as we don't attend classes, some classmates will challenge us. At first, Yan Bang and I didn't answer. ”
"It's just that most of the people in the entire academy are huddled together, and the rest are watching from the wall, Yan Bang and I have no power, no power and no wealth, and in the end we can only keep taking on challenges, and listen to their yin and yang weird tunes from time to time, Yan Bang is about to be unbearable!" Lu Yanxuan said at the end and lowered his eyes.
Moreover, the knowledge they learned in the village private school was far less than that of the wealthy people.
Fortunately, he and Yan Bang both read some books sent by the county magistrate before entering the academy. It's just that Yan Bang doesn't understand as much as he does, and it is more difficult for him to take on challenges.
Lu Guang and the three of them looked at each other, "You and Yan Bang are isolated by the students of the entire academy!" ”
"What about the master of the academy? Don't they care? Lu Zhian frowned and asked angrily.
Lu Yanxuan shook his head and said with a wry smile: "They don't care, those people didn't violate the rules of the academy, and the masters are not good at interfering." ”
The hall was silent for a while.
In this quiet environment, Lu Yanxuan's head became lower and lower, and his mood became more and more depressed. The young man's temperament, since he entered Nanhua College, has been hit one after another.
"Smack!" After a while, Lu Guang slapped heavily on the table, glared at Lu Yanxuan, and roared angrily: "Lu Yanxuan, look at your current appearance, isn't it just a little setback." I can't stand this, you still want to be named on the gold list, you still want to be an official, you are thinking about fart! ”
He doesn't understand those twists and turns, and he doesn't understand officialdom. But I've been reading books for a few years, and I've seen a lot of them in books. Officialdom, it's not that easy.
Moreover, these words were all told to him privately by the prefectural magistrate. The original words of the county magistrate were that if Xiao Xuan couldn't adapt to the life of the academy, then he would stop reading and go home to farm as soon as possible.
At first, he didn't understand what the prefectural magistrate meant, but now he does.
However, it is absolutely impossible to let Lu Yanxuan go home to farm.
Lu Zhian and Lu Zhishun both glanced at Lu Guang in surprise, Dad knows so much!
"Grandpa." Lu Yanxuan was stunned by Lu Guang's words.
Lu Guang slapped the table again, "Don't call me grandpa." ”
"Since the prefectural magistrate has written a letter of recommendation, he values you. You don't want to work hard to prove your strength and earn back face for the county magistrate, but you are so easily frustrated, how can you live up to the expectations of the county magistrate! ”
"Say! Are you trying to back down? Lu Guang slapped the table again, staring at Lu Yanxuan with wide eyes.
Lu Zhi'an and Lu Zhishun's eyelids jumped, and they wanted to ask their father, did their hands hurt if they slapped like this again and again?
Lu Yanxuan immediately shook his head, swallowed his saliva, and said, "No, no." Grandpa, I don't have such thoughts. ”
Yes and no, it can't be said.
He had thought about changing the academy before, but it was only for a moment that this idea was extinguished.
When Lu Guang heard this, his anger eased slightly, "It's better not to." ”
"In order to provide you with education and save money at home, your father even went into the mountains to hunt and collect medicine under the danger."
"If you dare to give up your studies for these things."
"No, it's anything." Lu Guang immediately changed his words again, "If you dare to give up studying for anything, Lao Tzu will break your legs!" ”
"No, it won't. It is my dream to study and take a scientific exam, and I will not give up. Lu Yanxuan stood up straight, looked at Lu Guang with a firm expression and said.
Lu Guang nodded with satisfaction, looking pleased, "That's the best!" ”
After the words fell, he sighed again, "Xiao Xuan, you opened the back door and entered, and it is normal for you to be jealous and targeted." You should be a tempering in life, hold on! ”
"Listen to what you mean, those people didn't violate the rules of the hospital, they should still be afraid. Therefore, you and Yanbang don't care so much, just take on the challenges that you can take, and push off those that you can't take, it's not a big deal. Also, the mouth grows on other people, and they love to say whatever they want. Study hard and strive for a good ranking in the exam! ”
Lu Yanxuan took a deep breath and nodded, "Grandpa, I know." ”
He understands the truth, but when he really faces those people, he always can't help but want to refute them.
Lu Guang looked at him and said again: "Xiao Xuan, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, you must remember to speak when you go home." We don't know much, but we can always help with ideas. ”
"Also, from the first time you excel, it's not just that you want to be productive. It's the entire Lu family, and even the entire Lu clan, looking forward to your success. Even if we can't come up with an idea, there are still the old patriarchs, and the entire Lu clan. ”
Lu Zhi'an, Lu Zhishun turned his head to look at Lu Guang in surprise.
Seeing the sight of his two sons, Lu Guang snorted lightly, "What's so embarrassing." Since they are looking forward to bringing glory to the Lu family after Xiao Xuan's appearance, they naturally have to work hard when Xiao Xuan is in trouble. ”
If you want to pick it up for nothing, it's impossible!
Lu Zhian and Lu Zhishun glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their hands to touch their noses. At this time, everything Dad said was right.
Lu Yanxuan was slightly stunned, "Grandpa, I know." ”
"I hope you really know. Go back and enlighten Yanbang well, go to Wenshu! Lu Guang waved his hand at Lu Yanxuan.
Lu Yanxuan breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded, "Grandpa, father, second uncle, I'll go back to the room first." ”
"Hmm."
"Hey! After all, he still has to figure it out by himself! Lu Guang sighed again after he couldn't see Lu Yanxuan's back.
Tang Mian's home
Zhuang Jing woke up after resting for half an hour, and when the sun was not strong, Tang Mian led Zhuang Jing to the village for a walk.
"Not to mention, it feels so comfortable to walk like this." Zhuang Jing took a deep breath and said softly.
Mama Liu also nodded, "Yes! The whole person is a lot more relaxed. ”
Although she is a subordinate, she is a child of the family and has never touched half of the country.
"Then my sister will stay here for a while longer." Tang Mian took Zhuang Jing's arm and walked slowly on the stone road in the countryside.
This is the main road in the village, and it is all paved with stone slabs. Wide, enough for a carriage to pass.
Zhuang Jing smiled and patted the back of Tang Mian's hand, "Okay, sister, don't bother me then." ”
"Surely not. My sister stayed here, and there was less noise in the village. Tang Mian looked at Zhuang Jing and quipped.
What Tang Mian said is true.
Everyone in the village knew that Mrs. County Ling lived in her house, and she didn't dare to make a loud noise, for fear that if she quarreled with her sister, Sister would blame Mrs. County Ling.
Zhuang Jing smiled and didn't speak.
Be quiet!
"Mianniang, I'll tell you in the morning, the doctor asked me to do my best, don't leave me alone." Zhuang Jing glanced at Tang Mian and said.
The aunt won't let her get involved in the work in the countryside, but the younger sister is very likely.
Tang Mian nodded, "Sister, don't worry." In less than two days, you'll be able to eat half a bowl of rice. ”
"yes, that's a good idea!" When Mama Liu heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she happily answered.
Zhuang Jing also raised her eyebrows in surprise, looking forward to it, "Then I'll wait." ”
"Okay!" Tang Mian responded with a smile.
After leading Zhuang Jing around, Tang Mian proposed to go back.
As soon as the few people returned home, Feiyue arrived.
"Flying Moon." Tang Mian shouted happily.
Feiyue also greeted with a fist, "Mrs. Lu." ”
"How's it going?" Tang Mian looked at Feiyue expectantly and asked.
Feiyue smiled slightly and said, "Fortunately, I don't disgrace my life!" ”
"Great!"
"It's been hard to fly to the moon, go and rest for a while." Tang Mian immediately raised his eyebrows and greeted.
Feiyue smiled and said, "Mrs. Lu is serious, what I should do, it's not hard." Mrs. Lu, I'll go see Madame first. ”
"Well, my sister is in this room." Tang Mian nodded and pointed out the room to Feiyue.
Feiyue greeted Tang Mian and walked to the room where Zhuang Jing was. ”
Looking at Feiyue's back, the corners of Tang Mian's raised lips couldn't be suppressed at all.
Before, she asked Lu Zhutou to find out Mengliu's itinerary, and the county town also held a literati poetry meeting two days ago according to the development of the previous life.
The Literati Poetry Club, this kind of thing that can be shown, Zhang Zhiyuan didn't want to miss it, so he went after picking it up.
She asked Feiyue again, and when Zhang Zhiyuan arrived in the county seat, she facilitated Zhang Zhiyuan and Mengliu to meet three times.
Listening to what Feiyue just meant, this matter has been done.
Come to think of it, the entanglement between Zhang Zhiyuan and Mengliu in this life has begun since then.
Very good! (End of chapter)
