In the center of Luye City, Jiannan Province, it is the magnificent weather and the heavily guarded Jiannan Province Jingluo Yamen, and the Jingluo Niu is drinking alone in the wide study. Niu Mandi is of medium stature, not fat or thin, with two thick eyebrows, a pair of big triangular eyes, a high nose bridge, and three locks of mustache.

There are three or five exquisite side dishes on the table, which are made by Gu Benyuan, a chef from Jiangdong Province, and Niu Mandi likes Jiangdong Province's dishes very much, so he invites this chef for a hundred taels of silver a month and cooks for him every day. The cow-covered house was full of all kinds of food, in fact, he couldn't eat so much, but he still had to save a lot of food.

Except for eating, Niu Mandi was not so attached to other things, because Niu Mandi was really hungry and afraid. In his childhood memories, in addition to hunger, he was still hungry, and he even dug through the mouse hole to grab the rat's food.

As long as you hear his name, the cattle are all over the ground, you know that this is the name given by a peasant without any culture, the vulgar can no longer be vulgar, the vulgar is unbearable, there will never be any family background, and it will not be a big family. In fact, this is also true. The cattle are all over the land is a native of Jiangdong Province, and his father called the cattle herd, which is a cowherd who grazes cattle for the landlord's family. When he was three years old, he fell ill and died.

When Niu Mandi was just born, his father hoped that he could inherit his father's business and be able to put good cattle for the landlord's family in the future, and finally his own family could raise so many cattle and be able to be full of cattle, so he gave him such a name that made people laugh, Niu Mandi. Of course, this name is easy to understand, and you can remember it at once, even if Niu Mandi has become a feudal official, he still hasn't changed this cheesy name, Niu Mandi hopes that he will never forget his roots.

The herd of cattle hoped that their son Niu Mandi could also herd cattle for the landlord's family, but Niu Mandi did not think so. When Niu Mandi was five or six years old, he often sneaked behind the wall of the village school when herding cattle, listened to Mr. teach, and listened to the friends in the village read.

That year, when Niu Mandi was ten years old, his father told him to herd the cows, but he sat outside the school wall in a daze, listening to his husband's teaching, and he didn't even know that the cow he was herding had run away. Fortunately, Daddy Pan from the neighboring village sent the lost cow back, and when he went home that night, the cow was beaten up by the disappointed cow herd, and the cow group really didn't understand this son, what was he doing squatting outside the school wall without herding the cow?

The herd of cows roared and scolded the cows all over the ground, "You are a herder, just let your cattle go, what's the use of going outside the school to listen to books? Those who are admitted to the examination are all stars in the sky, if you have that blessing, you will not be born in our cattle family, you can only herd cattle for people!"

Niu Mandi couldn't help but yell back at his father, "Mr. said, rich families don't need to buy good land, there are thousands of Zhongsu in the book." There is no need to erect tall buildings to live in peace, and there is a golden house in the book. Don't hate a wife without a good matchmaker, there is Yan Ruyu in the book......"

Where can the cow herd understand what is Qianzhongsu, what is the golden house, and what is Yan Ruyu, they couldn't help but jump like thunder, and dragged the cow over all over the ground and beat it violently, scolding while beating, "Lao Tzu doesn't understand, Lao Tzu is."

Your daddy!"

There is no way to do such a father on the stall, but Niu Mandi insists on a belief in his heart, I want to study, even if I can only herd cattle in this life, I want to be a different cowherd, a well-read cowherd! No paper and pen, it doesn't matter, sand is paper, and wooden sticks are pens.

Niu Mandi hid from his father, and quietly borrowed a copy of the "Three Character Classic" from the landlord Gu Dahu, and wrote it with a wooden stick according to the words on the book.

A month later, Niu Mandi borrowed to write and was finally discovered by the herd of cows, this time, Niu herd, who had always relied on his fists to speak to his son, made an exception and did not beat Niu Mandi again, but went to beg his owner Gu Dahu with a shy face, can you also let my son go to the school to learn a few words? Gu Dahu is not bad, and reading and reading is not a bad thing, so he readily agreed.

In this way, Niu Mandi finally went to the school to study, Niu Mandi is different from other children, he knows that there is nothing at home, so he must pay ten times more effort than others, other people's children read the book once, he will read it three times, other people's children will recite it three times, he will recite it ten times, and when he goes home in the afternoon, he will follow his father to clean the cattle pen, add forage to the cow, and even give birth to the cow.

The days of hardship passed day by day, the cattle were all over the ground while working, while studying, Mr. Liu in the school saw that he was studying hard, and he was also very pleased, and often pointed him out. Niu Mandi soon grew to the age of fifteen, and he was bold and ambitious, borrowed some money from his classmates, and secretly went to the county to participate in the children's examination.

Niu herd knew that after his son borrowed money to secretly participate in the children's test, he just returned the money and did not beat him, and when the county test results came out, Niu Mandi took the first place in the county. The herd of cattle finally began to face up to their son, and he found that this boy was not a cowherd material, but a reading material.

On the night when the county test results came out, Niu Qun drank a little wine, his face was flushed, and he was a little excited, so he pulled his son in front of him and said earnestly: "Son, my father is a cowherd, and I don't know a single big word, but I didn't expect you to be a reading material." Mr. Liu from the school often praises you for being smart, but my father didn't believe it before. Now look at it, you kid may be able to make a difference! Okay, you kid study hard, if you can really get into the exam, then you will be glorious! Our Niu family calculates, either digging in the soil or herding cattle, and the ancestors have not produced a single scholar in the eighteenth generation, so it's up to you!"

With the reassurance pill given by his father, Niu Mandi can finally study with peace of mind, and two months later, he took the government exam again, and the results came down, and he was still the head of the case, and Niu Mandi officially became a child. A herd of cattle took the cattle all over the ground to the ancestors' graves to burn incense and kowtow to ask for the blessings of the ancestors. After that, Niu Mandi went to participate in the hospital examination again, and when the list was released, he was the first place again, the first case. Since then, Niu Mandi has finally become a talent by his own efforts.

Niu is full of talents, happy is naturally needless to say, his father is more happy than Niu Mandi, almost crazy, people will say, "My son has won the show!" The people in the village were happy for him, but also laughed at him, and since then they have not called him by his name Niu Qun, only called him Niu Maniac.

After going to school and becoming a showman, naturally he couldn't herd cattle anymore, so Niu Mandi went to the school in the neighboring village to be a teacher, teaching Mengtong while self-studying, preparing to take the township examination in two years. In the first township test, Niu was all over the list, but he was not sad and still returned to his hometown to teach his books. Some people laughed at him, and Niu Mandi didn't mind, it was a miracle that a cowherd baby became a showman, and it wasn't that he didn't have a chance to take the test again.

Three years later, the 21-year-old Niu Manchu won the high lift, ninth place. Since then, the cow has been transformed into a cow master, and the Niu family has lived in a mansion given by others. A herd of cattle bought yellow paper, good wine, pig's head, and went to the ancestors' grave to make a vow, and the Niu family came out with a man, and became the pride of the village and the township.

In the second year of the lift, Niu Mandi entered Beijing to participate in the examination, and was admitted to become a tribute, and two months later participated in the palace examination, the twenty-ninth place in the second class, Emperor Huizong saw this name, laughed, this name is simply cheesy and cute, and asked Niu Mandi's hometown situation, and left him a note. Huizong asked him, this name is too vulgar, do you want to give a name, Niu Mandi refused very reasonably, the name was given by his father, and the minister did not dare to forget his roots!

After the imperial examination, Hanlin had no share, and released the magistrate of Tieshan County, Jianzhou County, Jiannan Province, a small seven-grade sesame official in the real sense.

The cow who has been the county governor is full of spirit, and he is good at learning and farming in office, and he is good at playing the boss, so he has a political voice. After the expiration of his term of office in three years, he was transferred to Renzhi County, Songshan County, Songshan County, Jiannan Province, and after the expiration of his term in Songshan County, he was promoted to the county guard of Songshan County.

Since then, Niu Mandi has a nickname among officials, called Niu Herding County Guard. Of course, after the cattle were all over the ground and lifted people, his father's herd of cattle had stopped herding cattle. No matter how bold Gu Dahu is, he doesn't dare to let his father herd cattle, isn't it?

In the third year of Niu Mandi as a county guard, Niu Mandi died of illness, and before he died, he took Niu Mandi's hand and earnestly admonished: "Son, you can be such a big official as the county guard, it is really an ancestor who has accumulated virtue! Don't forget, we are cowherds and poor people, so we know the hardships of the poor people best, and my father hopes that you will do more things for the poor, so that they can have food and clothing, and my father will rest assured, don't forget your roots!"

Niu herd died with a smile, Niu Mandi Ding worry at home, more than two years later, Ding worry expired, back to Yong'an to wait for the vacancy, three months later, and put the Jiannan Road Huzhou County guard, some classmates ridiculed Niu Mandi, from the county to start, to be an official for half a lifetime, has been to make a strategic envoy, has never been out of Jiannan Road.

Jiannan Road is the birthplace of the cow land, but in the end it also became the sad place of the cow land. Now, the cattle who have made the Jiannan Jing Envoy are full of land, and there is another thought, this troubled world also, the troubled times produce heroes, my cattle are full of land from a little cowherd to today's point, all with their own efforts and the appreciation of nobles, princes and generals, rather have a kind of?
