As the New Year approached, Ma Lang also relaxed, holding a book, leading the horse to rest and read on the slope bank, leisurely and elegant. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The old horse is happy to be able to keep his heart, which is a very important thing, so it is good, don't worry too much, I hope to have a good family in the future, thinking about it, I will lower my head and eat the grass, chew slowly, very in line with the old horse.
All the villagers who pass by Ma Lang's side now are enthusiastic to greet him, this is a talented man, he is a scholar recognized by the imperial court, and there are a lot of salaries to get, at least you can have a good life without having to suffer from your stomach, many people are envious, but who let them or their sons fail to pass the exam, and they fail again and again, which makes them blame anyone, they can only say that they are unlucky.
"Ma Lang'er, Ma Lang'er, hurry, hurry, someone is coming from the county, and now it's hurrying, you can't make people wait for a long time. ”
When Ma Lang heard this, he calculated the time, and it was almost over, and when the results of the township test should come out, he immediately said, "Oh, I'll be here right away." "Take the old horse and hurry to the village, but you can't let them wait for a long time, even if you don't know, you have to be faster.
When Ma Lang arrived, he saw Teacher Wang Tong, hey, and Dean Li, why did they come, although I don't know how many they are, but this kind of Hu should be good, hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, and then didn't know what to do on the side.
"Hehehe, you are Ma Lang, congratulations, congratulations, you have become the first name of this township test, Xie Yuangong, congratulations. ”
After the leader said the answer, Ma Lang really didn't know the result when he heard it, and the surrounding villagers gasped, it was really not simple, and he became a lifter all of a sudden, and he was Xie Yuangong, the first name, and the first name.
"Ma Lang'er didn't come forward to take it quickly, thank you for these bad brothers, otherwise you wouldn't know about this good thing, hahaha. Dean Li said happily, even if he already knew about it, he was very happy to listen to it again.
"Yes, yes, hurry, Ma Lang'er's calm and smart energy go there, don't you hurry up and thank you for coming here to read it out. ”
When Ma Lang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to the errand officer: "Thank you, uncle, if you hadn't come, I wouldn't have known the results." ”
"Nothing, nothing, the little guy is very powerful, you can obtain the qualification of Xie Yuangong at a young age, but the next exam will be a few years later, you are too young, or grow up, don't be blindly enterprising, you need to strengthen your own heritage." The poor official said very kindly, I admire this kind of Xie Yuangong, he is so young, he can have such ability, he has to admire, if it is not for the age limit above, I am afraid that he will have to rely on the champion, after all, the court also needs to be of sound mind.
Ma Lang touched his head embarrassedly, smirking and not knowing how to answer.
It's not a concern, and I think it's cute, not so much arrogance, such a person is very good.
"Ma Lang, no, it's Ma Juren now, he has broken through the double in a year, strong enough, our academy is also happy for you, by the way, after the New Year, you have to go to Tianhuo City to report, but don't forget, this is a reward from the imperial court, because of your outstanding performance, not only gave you the title of lifting people, but also gave you a title, Ma Lang obeyed the order. The officer's expression immediately changed, and he took out the holy decree.
When the people around heard this, they were shocked, and immediately knelt on the ground, Ma Lang was the same, his heart beat so fast that he didn't know what he was talking about, in short, it seemed to be a baron, and he was a member of the nobility at a young age.
Finally, under the suggestion of the person, Ma Lang came back to his senses and sincerely thanked the order: "Grass people, no, Your Majesty will accept the order." ”
Only then did I remember that he was already a baron, and he was also a member of the officials, even if he was not an official, he didn't have to be troubled.
"Okay, get up, work hard in the future, I hope that in a few years, I will take another yuan, and then another champion, three yuan and the first, we are looking forward to it, hahaha, let's go, the little guy work hard, we will meet again, hehe." After saying this, the messenger left the village with his own men, and those who remained were still silent in the inconceivable holy decree.
When everyone reacted, especially Dean Li and the others looked at him with envy, they didn't know before, they just thought it was the first place, but now they know that it is not simple, and there are knighthood rewards, which is really extraordinary. You must know that it is very difficult for Wenchen to enter the knighthood, even if he is the prime minister, he may not be able to get the title, it can be seen that it is extremely difficult, this kid is really lucky.
In fact, it is also based on strength, in the past, it was not that there was no successful passage of the level, but if you want to become Xie Yuan, or even the top three, it is difficult to appear, let alone Xie Yuan, how many years have passed, and now one suddenly appears, how can the court not reward it, and no one will come out to say irresponsible things, if you have the ability, you let your children and grandchildren take the test, if you succeed, you can still be knighted.
This is also something that the ministers of the court and the central government did not care about, although the title is good, it is not a substantive official position, so there is not too much interference, and it is very smooth to arrive, it can be seen that in the world of cultivators, the speed is still very fast, and there is no need to wait too long.
"Lord Ma, congratulations, congratulations, we will have to rely on you in the future, hahaha..."
"Where, where, I'm dazed, I don't know what to think, is this true?"
"Really, really, you see this holy decree is here, put it away, it can be passed on in the future, it's useless for others to steal it, if it is known by the court, those people will be miserable, but the crime is a big crime, okay, it's time to celebrate, I didn't know you had such a thing before, we are not well prepared, forget it, it's good to be lively, otherwise we will be envious to death." ”
Wang Tong's words reminded everyone that they were just preparing for the wedding banquet of Duke Xie Yuan before, and the wedding banquet of the lord was obviously not of high grade, but now it is a little slow to prepare, and they can only give up apologetically, they are very embarrassed for Ma Lang, and they don't understand thoroughly.
"Dean Li, Teacher Wang, it's good that everyone can prepare a celebration for me, how dare the kid ask for so much, it's better to be simple, it's better to be simple. Ma Lang hurriedly said, although he was still young, he still knew how to do things, and immediately followed the explanation.
Soon the people in the village are enthusiastic to celebrate him, who let him even if Xie Yuan Gong is a lord, which one is a great joy, since then they have a lord in the village, the status is not ordinary, it is conceivable that the surrounding villages will know that it will definitely be very lively, the village chief is even more smiling, the beauty in his heart, Ma Lang is amazing, so that they are all raised eyebrows.
"Brother Ma Lang, Brother Ma Lang, this is for you. "Many of the children brought gifts at the behest of their parents.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Ma Lang was very happy and kept saying thank you, and the room was already full of things.
"You can't let him drink, he's still young, wait until he grows up, and then drink, right?" The village chief was about to come to congratulate, but when he saw someone coming over with wine, he immediately stopped in front of Ma Lang and scolded angrily, these villagers really don't know what to do.
Hearing the words of the village chief, these people came to their senses, immediately smiled honestly, and left immediately, but they didn't dare to make the village chief angry, it was definitely very terrifying, and it was better to drink it with peace of mind, so that it was more comfortable.
"Thank you, Grandpa the Village Chief. Ma Lang was also a little afraid, although he knew that drinking was not good, but he didn't know what to say if he wanted to refuse, but fortunately, the village chief's grandfather came and gave him a step down, so he didn't make a fool of himself, so he didn't have to worry about drinking.
"It's okay, it's okay, these little bunnies, I think no one can cure them, really, such nonsense. The village chief was also angry, but for him, he was really caring, and he was still young and couldn't drink, so it was not good if it was too much.
"Grandpa, sit here, if it weren't for you, the kid wouldn't know if he would be able to live until now, and the kid would like to thank you for being old. Ma Lang said sincerely, his heart has no less respect for the village chief's grandfather, if he wasn't there, he really didn't know if he could survive until now, especially after the death of his parents, even more so, the hardships are not enough for outsiders.
The village chief couldn't help but be delighted, and then sighed and said: "These don't need to be used, grandpa you know your heart, it's just that she is too much, and she is a family anyway, she is so bullying, now look at it, suffer a loss, now it is faceless to come out, but your parents will be happy in the spirit of heaven, their son, can finally glorify their ancestors for them, okay, great." ”
Ma Lang listened to the incomparably excited, and he didn't have a lot of respect for the village chief's grandfather, but he felt that he was not enough, but there was no way to express his gratitude in his heart.
"Now you are the symbol of the village, you can't be so childish, learn more, even more so outside, although you can have a knighthood to ensure worry-free, but no one can say what if, so you have to be aggressive, but you can't be blindly arrogant, you know?" The village chief still taught carefully, and his sincere love for him made their village glorious.
"Yes, village chief grandfather, I will definitely take note of your teachings by heart, study hard, and live up to your expectations. Ma Lang said solemnly, the excitement in his heart does not need to be explained, he is basically very happy, but he can't be complacent.
"Okay, in this way, grandpa will rest assured, after the Chinese New Year, you will go to Tianhuo City, there is farther away than here, the number of times you come back has never been much, take care of yourself, don't make yourself uncomfortable, you should relax when you should relax." ”
