"It's really a glorious lintel, if my son wants Shen Hong to be able to read for half of his life, it will be the smoke of my ancestral grave."

"It's okay to be able to fight, their family is really going to be stepped on the threshold, and there are two lifters! A Wenju person, a Wuju person! Where is this ancestral grave buried? So promising! ”

"What an ancestral grave is not an ancestral grave! You don't know that they're not the same! They are several families living in one! ”

"It turned out that he was so poor, had such a hard time, and was able to pass the exam for two people, it was really not easy!"

"Don't squeeze it, let's go and take a look at the Juren, that Shen Juren looks like a talent, and it won't be a loss to take a look."

"I'll take my son to see Shen Hong, get involved in the luck of this Wenqu star, can you go and see it? Xie Yuan, I heard that it was the first place, but it was amazing! It must be Wenqu Xing! ”

"Retreat, retreat, lift people and don't come back, I don't hear them, I don't hear them, I don't come back, I retreat quickly, I can't go ahead."

"You don't lie to me, it's all back! How could it not have come back. ”

Lin Piao and the second aunt listened to the crowd noisily, saying everything, and a group of people rushed forward to see the excitement and joy, saying that they didn't believe that Shen Hong and Erzhu had not come back at all.

Lin Piao and the second aunt lowered their heads and covered their faces with a handkerchief, and quickly ran away from the congested crowd when the road behind them was not blocked.

The second aunt was taken aback, although she knew that it was great to be a lifter, but she was still stunned when she saw this battle: "Piao'er, how long will it take for this momentum to stop?" It's scary to look at. ”

Lin Piao shook his head helplessly: "I don't know, auntie, if you think about it, when the county lord gave me a piece of calligraphy, just a few words, I was surrounded by the villagers at that time to look at them for two or three days. ”

the second aunt listened: "God...... So how are we going to live? ”

"Let's lead people to Tongxi Building."

"Banquet?"

"Everyone from this county government has come to eat, and there are more than 10 dishes at one table, so don't you make us poor? Let's send a dish, called a human dish, enter the store to send a plate, whether it is just a plate or another order some dishes to make a meal to eat, anyway, just a plate, with the largest plate in our store, full, cut half a chicken, cut some braised pork, put cucumbers in the middle, those refreshing cold dishes, put a look, it is also a decent plate, and then all the dishes are discounted, and then each table to send wine, so it's almost the same, when they are busy going to Tongxi Lou to eat, they don't have time to come around our house, eat the food, join in the excitement, They felt in their hearts that they had participated in it, and this thing was done. ”

The second aunt nodded, wrote down everything in her mind, and they quietly walked into the alley and made a detour around the crooked path to return home.

They went around for most of the circle, and when they saw the door of the house from the other side of the alley, they saw Da Zhuang and Uncle Qiu standing at the door, all kinds of reassuring and exhorting, repeating over and over again that Shen Hong and Erzhu were really not there, and they had not returned, so that the two officials were next to maintain order.

The people who came to see naturally didn't believe it, especially when they saw that there were two people like the government who were guarding them, so the crowd complained: "Don't you want to come out to see us, right?" Now it has become a great person. ”

"We're not here to do anything for you, but to congratulate you, to see this new man, but we don't have to take Qiao like this."

Da Zhuang has been carefully explaining: "It's really not, they are still in the state capital and can't leave, and it is true that they have not come back yet, and if they come back in the future, they will naturally not hide from them." ”

"Who's that back? Everywhere they were talking about coming back, coming back, and there was not a single figure to be seen. ”

"It's me who came back!" Lin Piao squeezed through the crowd, and the moment he walked out, he felt that he was about to turn into a fluttering piece of paper.

Lin Piao stood up the steps: "It's me and my aunt who came back, Shen Hong and Huchen have just finished the exam, and they want to participate in various banquets prepared for them in the state capital, which is a piece of hospitality in Zhizhou, they are really warm, and they can't leave, so let's come back first, and tell you the good news, starting today, Tongxi Lou will eat less than 20%, tomorrow, you can go to Tongxi Lou, and get a free dish for each table, this is the favorite thing for Shen Hong and Huchen to eat on weekdays, you can try it, thank you for your love, I would like to ask everyone to tell the news from all sides, so that it can be spread. ”

"Why didn't you raise people today?"

"I'm in a hurry to come today, and I will start tomorrow, but Tongxi Lou is discounted, you can go to Tongxi Lou to have a look, you must know that these two people are also fed by Tongxi Lou's food."

Although there were still many people who refused to leave, some people knew that it was useless to continue to stay here, and they would not see anyone anyway, so they gave up and planned to go to Tongxi Lou for a meal first, and to entertain them for a while.

As some people left, those who refused to leave slowly loosened, and the crowd slowly dispersed at the door, and the news spread from person to person, and with the blessing of free food delivery, it spread several times faster than before.

The blocked door was successfully evacuated, and Lin Piao and the second aunt returned to the courtyard to drink a cup of tea, and finally realized what it means to cook oil on fire, which was a bit more lively than they imagined.

If they were cold stoves in the village, and warm stoves in the county government, they are now proper hot stoves, and the poor beggars passing by want to throw a piece of firewood into it to add to the excitement.

When it was night, Lin Piao and the second aunt learned that the second dog had also been selected and still maintained the tail of the crane, but it was not as hanging as before, at least it was hanging from the bottom of the list, not a little careless, and it might fall out of the list.

"Originally, I also wanted to write a letter to the state capital to tell my sister-in-law about you, but at that time, I received a letter from my sister-in-law, and Brother Ergou said don't write it yet, it is estimated that you will come back, and you can just meet and talk about it when the time comes."

Lin Piao nodded again and again, because it was too noisy today and there were too many people to see, Lin Piao was a little trance now, although he listened to it, he couldn't give any reaction, and he was only surprised in his heart.

Juan'er and Xiaoyue looked at his state: "Little sister-in-law, are you tired?" As soon as I got off the boat today, there were so many things to do, running around, and seeing so many people, little sister-in-law, go to bed early. ”

Lin Piao nodded and looked at the second aunt: "Ming'er, let's prepare, second aunt, you go to the martial arts training ground, I'll go to the Deer Cave Academy, and by the way, see if the second dog can go away, and the second dog can get together next." ”

The second aunt nodded: "This is in full swing, let's go to sleep quickly, and wait for tomorrow morning to discuss how to get it, and try to do it clearly in one day, so that we can rest the day after tomorrow." ”

Lin Piao nodded again and again, and everyone went back to their rooms.

After the two officials had dinner at Tongxi Lou in the afternoon, Lin Piao arranged an inn for them, and they stayed in it leisurely, as if they were traveling at public expense.

Lying on the kang after a long absence, Lin Piao looked at the roof, feeling that it was still very unreal, before this his family was still in the imperial examination this road to walk step by step ordinary people, Lin Piao knew in his heart that Shen Hong would be in the middle of the meeting, but when this day really came, he still felt very unreal.

They are living day by day, but the accumulation of this day by day, suddenly from a certain day, a certain month, this huge juncture, makes them like a dividing line from the past, and they suddenly begin to enter a new life.

Now in their family, Shen Hong has been lifted, Erzhu has been lifted, and Ergou is a showman, and this sense of weight has turned around in his head, and even Lin Piao has felt this heavy weight.

Lin Piao clasped his hands on his stomach and lay down for a long time, a feeling came to his mind.

They seem to have crossed classes.

No, it's not like, it's just a leap.

And it was not the kind of leap that came from the news, but Lin Piao really produced this feeling.

Because of this thought, Lin Piao turned over and over again, thinking about how he should live his life for a long time, and if Shen Hong and Erzhu really became officials, they would have to worry about what their family members would have to worry about

Lin Piao thought about it, and Hu Ci was already asleep next to him.

Lin Piao looked at Hu Ci for a while, and was hesitating in his heart how to arrange for him, Juan'er and Xiaoyue had to ask them their own opinions, and then see if their families allowed them to take them to a fresher place, so that they could have a chance to find a better relative.

However, Hu Ci was still young, and when the time came, he went to the state capital, where he lived was bigger, and no one watched him in the yard all day; if there was no one to accompany him, it would actually be more lonely and cruel for a child, and if he could find him a relatively sound family, and someone at home could often accompany him, this would be a better arrangement for him at present.

But this thing is easy to think, but in fact it is very difficult, married is considered a sound family, even if there are not three children in the family, at least there is one, how can people put their own not to coax and not accompany, to take care of the adopted Hu Ci, if it is not care, if it is put with their own children, always scolding and blaming Hu Ci for the other child's little thing, this is even more unlucky.

Lin Piao sighed.

Fate......

It is the most difficult thing to choose, especially when the fate of others is in his own hands, and every decision he makes will affect the direction and development of these children in the future.

Although Lin Piao's idea was originally germinated for the sake of having more people and greater strength, now that they have been with everyone for so long, they have become a warm family, and they are not strangers passing by each other at all.

When Lin Piao lay in a daze, he thought that when he was still in the village, the scenery and houses there were very barren compared to the county and state capitals, and they came out of that place step by step.

Lin Piao fell asleep slowly, until he woke up the next day, got up, dressed up and washed, ate breakfast in the courtyard, and began to discuss with his second aunt how to thank the teacher.

"I'll go to Ludong Academy, bring some food, and bring Shen Hong's letter.

The second aunt nodded: "I want to invite the master and brothers in the martial arts training ground to come and have a meal, it's just that we are usually happy with Xilou, and we may not be able to squeeze out the table, but if you want to say that the food is sent over, is it too much fanfare, this battle is bigger than the last time you thanked for saving your life." ”

"Auntie, if you think it's appropriate, just send it over, anyway, it's not a trivial matter to raise people in the second pillar, what's wrong with the fanfare? It should be lively and lively, and it is said that it is difficult to raise people, and only one one has come out in several years, and that is a Wenju person, not to mention a few years of Wuju people, that is, more than ten years, has there ever been one here in our county government? ”

The second aunt listened to this very well, and nodded again and again: "Piao'er, what you said is reasonable, then I will also go and prepare for lunch, this time is enough time for the kitchen to prepare slowly, and when the time comes, I will also help, and add another person dish, it will be very decent." ”

Lin Piao nodded, and after chatting with the second aunt, he asked Xiaoyue and Juan'er to sit down and talk to them.

"Before, your father and mother sent you here, so that you can learn the craft, make money, what you want is a foundation for your life, and now Shen Hong and Erzhu have been admitted, and they have really settled in the state capital, and I have always felt that people only have the reason to go to a good place, and there is no reason to go out and shrink back, so I want to move our family to the state capital."

Xiaoyue and Juan'er panicked, thinking that the sister-in-law was saying that she was going to run away from them and ask them to live their own lives in the future. I listened to my sister-in-law again.

"If you two are willing, go to the state capital with us, I think that the bigger the place, the more good men you can look at, and I can slowly show you a good family, it is better to marry in the county government than in the village, and it is better to marry in the state capital than to marry in the county government.

Xiao Yue and Juan'er immediately nodded fiercely: "Little sister-in-law, we are willing." After agreeing, he became a little worried: "But this is the case...... It's too far from home...... Will Daddy be relieved that we have gone so far? ”

Lin Piao nodded: "This is also the question I want to say, in two days you take the time to go home, ask your father and mother what they think, see what they say, I should also go back at that time, Shen Hong won this time, I have to go to his father and mother to burn a letter to his father and mother, you said before that the second dog has not gone back, and the second dog has to go back, and when the time comes, it will be the same." ”

"Then ......" Lin Piao turned his head to look at Da Zhuang: "Da Zhuang, you too, do you want to go to the state capital with Uncle Qiu?" ”

Da Zhuang said bluntly: "Little sister-in-law, where you go, we will go." ”

His father's identity was in the hands of the sister-in-law, and he knew that the sister-in-law would not force them to do anything, but they wanted to follow the sister-in-law.

This day was lively and hot, and if it really became the same as before, only their orphans and widows were left, and this day was falling in space, and he couldn't stand it, and his father couldn't stand it.

Anyway, my father's deed of identity is with my sister-in-law, and all the shops in the family are recorded in his name, and he has already entered the business register, and everything that is done in the family is on his side, so he should also follow his sister-in-law, they are truly one family.

Zheng Qiu had no opinion on this decision, and his second sister-in-law was going to the state capital anyway, and they would be no different from the past, and if he stayed in the county government, he might not be able to see him in the future, and it didn't matter to him where he was, but who he was with.

Lin Piao looked at the big food box full of food in the back kitchen, took the two officials as helpers, and then prepared the most classic heavy gift, a big pork leg, and a gentleman prepared a big pork leg, which was almost impossible to put down in the carriage, Lin Piao could only sit outside, blowing the wind in the mountain road, looking at the dense woods and the tufts of green bamboos from time to time, and relax his spirit.

When everything was delivered one by one, and the letters were given one by one, the dean finally sent someone to invite Lin Piao and invite him over to eat barbecue.

Lin Piao finally had a little time to rest, and when he arrived in the dean's courtyard, he found that the other gentlemen were not here, and he suddenly felt more relaxed, especially Mr. Zhuqing, who was not the best.

The dean invited him to sit down, and the servant beside him was placing the roast meat he had brought to him on the oven.

The dean asked the people around him to pour him tea, and looked at him with a kind smile: "You have worked hard. ”

Lin Piao waved his hand: "No, no, it's Shen Hong who works hard, and I'm just following the gangsters." ”

"You are too humble, without you, Shen Hong would not have come to this day, and in the future, when you are by his side, you must always mention him."

Chapter 118

"Where, where."

Lin Piao was a little puzzled, was he so important? As Shen Hong's position became more and more upward, he could give less and less advice in his life, and the biggest decision was always what to eat in the afternoon and what time he had to go home in the evening, which was what every elder would do.

Especially a child like Shen Hong, who has a big idea in his heart, and usually seems to be gentle, but his goal in his heart will not be shaken by anything in the outside world, and from this point of view, there is nothing in this world that can influence his decision.

The dean just smiled: "He is too smart, sometimes smart people are too smart, but they are not necessarily comparable to ordinary people, not to mention that you are a person with great wisdom." ”

"Where, where." Lin Piao thought to himself, don't praise, don't praise, if you want to float, the dean always says one point to three points, and if you have three points, you can directly say ten points.

Seeing that he had been praised embarrassed, the dean smiled and said: "The wisdom of this world, the world thinks that it is upward, but in fact it is not, wisdom is downward, and the lower you go, the more wise you are." ”

Lin Piao: "? ”

He suspected that the dean was implicating him.

"These grains, rice, corn and hemp, drinking and pecking, eating and dressing, eating and dressing, and the family members around you are these things that people in the world are pursuing the most, and those who understand these things are truly wise people."

Lin Piao nodded again and again, expressing his respect for the dean's level, and then in the dean's continuous praise for the barbecue, he happily said that he would often let Tongxilou send barbecue in the future, and let the dean treat Tongxilou as his own kitchen.

When Lin Piao left from the dean's courtyard, the dean slowly ate a few slices of barbecue meat left on the stove, drank the remaining half of the wine in the cup slowly, reached out and picked up the letter that was placed aside, shook his sleeves and opened it.

Lin Piao walked out of the courtyard, feeling that all around him was a lot deserted, Shen Hong, Han Xiu, Wen Shuo and others were no longer in the academy now, but everyone who had talent and fame on them had gone out to take exams and run a business, and the rest of the academy were basically children.

Lin Piao finished everything and went to Ergou's dormitory to find Ergou.

Ergou was resting and taking a nap in the dormitory, and when he heard the knock on the door, he thought it was someone else in the academy, and he closed the door and window to know that he was resting, so he came to knock on his door, so he didn't care about such a person.

Ergou thought about this, the knock on the door sounded softly twice, he still ignored it, and then creaked, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Ergou turned over and said What do you want to do? When he looked at it, it was actually his sister-in-law, and he suddenly screamed, and hurriedly wrapped himself in a thin quilt.

"What's your name? I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no sound, as if I had seen a ghost, and you didn't even know that I came to the mountain to thank my teacher? ”

Ergou opened his mouth wide in surprise: "I didn't pay attention, I went back to the dormitory early to rest." ”
