The ancient farming life of liberal arts scum

The group was not in a hurry, and they also visited many famous mountains and rivers while walking slowly towards Kunjiu County.

After returning to Kunjiu County soon, the wheat has begun to fill the grain, and the roadside is full of pleasing turquoise.

Before arriving at the county seat, there was a guard of honor beating gongs and drums to welcome us from a distance, and there was a lot of movement.

Shen Ge was wondering, thinking whether to give way, Xun Feiguang held his shoulders, "This guard of honor should be directed at you and me."

"Ah? How?"

Before Shen Ge finished speaking, the guard of honor at the other end knelt down on the ground in unison.

Shen Ge's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly turned his head to look at Xun Feiguang.

The etiquette law in this dynasty is not strict. Kneeling is generally used when parents and emperors are superior, and guilty people also kneel when they meet officials, and there is no need to perform this grand ceremony at other times.Now the people kneel before them, according to the law, it is already a usurpation.

Xun Feiguang ordered his subordinates to avoid the roadside with the carriage, and Xun's family followed suit immediately.

At this moment, a middle-aged official in the uniform of a county magistrate walked out of a large group of people on the opposite side. When he saw Xun Feiguang, he bowed to the end from a distance, "I pay my respects to Xun Guogong."

"There's no need to be too polite." Xun Feiguang said lightly, "I don't know what's important for you to wait here?"

The county magistrate was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "The Duke of the State is here, and the official is far away from welcoming you. Please forgive me, the Duke of the State."

His behavior was really flattering. Xun Feiguang was used to this kind of scene, and he had long since seen the strangeness. He nodded slightly, "I like to be pure in nature, and I don't want to be disturbed by others, so I will go back first."

With such a blatant refusal, the magistrate's face visibly stiffened.

Shen Ge had received a lot of help from him before. Although he could not be called clean and honest, he was not a man of ordinary people, and his nature was not bad, so he opened his mouth and said: "We have been walking all the way, and we are a little tired, so we will go back to rest first. Visit your lord again."

Hearing this, the magistrate hurriedly slapped his head and went down the ladder, "Yes, yes, look at my head. Please invite the Duke and Zhuangyuan Shen first, and wait for the officials to prepare thin wine tomorrow, and then clean up the dust for the two of you."

The marriage between Shen Ge and Xun Feiguang spread almost half of the bureaucratic circle. Kunjiu County was Shen Ge's ancestral home. The county magistrate received the news early in the morning and treated Shen Ge with a solemn attitude.

The person standing in front of him at this moment is no longer the young Juren, he is not only the number one scholar, but also the fiancée of Duke Xun Guo, so the county magistrate should not be cautious.

It was almost dark, Xun Feiguang saw him get out of the way, so he ordered his men to speed up and rush to Shenjia Village.

Shenjia Village changed its appearance again at this time, the archway under construction in front of the village was very eye-catching, Shen Ge knew at a glance that it was the number one scholar's archway built for him, he couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and proud.

Because it was getting late, Shen Ge didn't go back to Shenjia Village, but asked Manzi to tell his uncle that he had returned and would come over tomorrow to invite some elders in the village to have a drink.

Manzi responded, and strode home with the things the Xun Mansion had prepared for him and the things he had saved.

Judging by his pace, this taciturn boy has long been homesick.

The return trip was as fast as before, and Shen Ge was not very tired when he returned to Xunjiazhuang.When he arrived in Beijing and settled down, he fell ill, the root cause was that he was tired on the road.Xun Feiguang secretly cared about this matter, and now that he came back to Xunjiazhuang, the first thing he did was to invite Mr. Xu to feel Shen Ge's pulse, even though Shen Ge thought he was still healthy.

Mr. Xu has been staying in Xunjiazhuang, living in seclusion here.As soon as Xun Feiguang asked, he brought his disciples over.

"Your complexion is alright." Mr. Xu took Chen Ge's pulse carefully, checked his tongue coating, and asked, "Should you still take the ginseng pill?"

"It's been used all the time, and it hasn't been broken."

"I think you should still use it, and don't stop using it for a few more years."

Shen Ge nodded, "I know, thank you, Mr. Xu."

"Do you need to be polite with me?" Mr. Xu saw that he hesitated to speak, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Shen Ge looked left and right, saw that Brother Xun happened not to be there, only Elder Xu and his young apprentice were in the room, and hurriedly lowered his voice, "Elder Xu, I will marry Brother Xun in June."

Seeing that his face was full of joy, Mr. Xu stroked his all-white beard, stretched his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "This old man knows, and he hasn't congratulated you two yet."

Shen Ge smiled shyly and rubbed his head, then lowered his voice, "Old Xu, you are a doctor, I wonder if you have... uh... a letter for a man to have sex with a man, or a prescription for making a letter is also acceptable." .”

Shen Ge said the last sentence quickly, and Xu Lao's apprentice looked at him in surprise after hearing it, and Chen Ge's cheeks flushed red when he saw it.

The smiling expression on Old Xu's face did not change at all, he nodded briskly and said: "There is a prescription, I will ask him to bring it to you later."

Xu Lao said and pointed to his apprentice, meaning to let him send it off.Shen Ge nodded hurriedly.

After a while, Xun Feiguang came back.

Elder Xu also helped him get his pulse.He was a military commander, after taking ginseng pills, his body was very healthy after the remaining poison was pulled out, better than Chen Ge by more than 01:30.

Hearing that Xun Feiguang was fine, Shen Ge remembered the prescription he had just asked, felt embarrassed to stay, and hurriedly got up and slipped away.

After Shen Ge left, Xun Feiguang looked at his back, sat on the chair with a big horse, and asked lightly: "Old Xu, do you have anything useful for sex?"

"Coincidentally, Shen Ge'er also asked about it just now."

Xun Feiguang couldn't help but smile when he heard the words.

"I happen to have a few ointment prescriptions with medicinal ingredients, and I will ask my apprentice to send them later. Forget it, I'll just ask someone to bring the ointment to you."

"Then I will trouble Mr. Xu."

Old Xu laughed and said, "It's just for the apprentice to practice his hands."

"Besides the ointment, do you have any maintenance prescriptions?"

That place is delicate and needs to be well maintained so as not to cause future troubles.

"There is this prescription, but it is troublesome to use. You find warm jade and carve it into a male shape as thick as a little finger. You can cook ointment in the future and put it in your body to warm it carefully."

"Is there any other way?"

Nuanyu is fine, but it is inconvenient to have a foreign body in the body.

"Since this is the case, then boil the ointment and apply it every month. Although the effect is not good, it is more convenient."

Xun Feiguang nodded, "Prepare both, please Mr. Xu."

"Okay, I know, try to get out before the two of you get married."

Asking Mr. Xu about the things in the room, neither of them mentioned it to each other, Shen Ge was embarrassed, and Xun Feiguang took care of his face.

Early the next morning, Shen Ge went down the mountain and returned to his original home.

Before reaching the foot of the mountain, I saw the villagers.

When the villagers saw Shen Ge, they enthusiastically surrounded him, talked to him while hugging him and walked towards Shen Hongfa's house.

Shen Hongfa was waiting at home early in the morning. He personally killed a vigorous rooster and cooked it to worship the gods. He also set up 36 cannons at the door of his house to worship his ancestors and spirits.

The whole village of Shenjia Village was extremely lively, and the situation where the villagers would spread out to work in the fields at dawn had long since disappeared. Instead, everyone was at the entrance of the village, looking forward to Shen Ge.

Someone shouted, "The champion is here!"

The people of Shenjia Village rushed forward immediately, and the children even ran to meet Shen Ge.

Surrounded by Shen Ge, Shen Ge greeted all the villagers modestly along the way. Uncles, uncles, aunts, aunts... none of the people who should be called were left behind.

A simple farmer blushed and waved his hands vigorously, "Don't dare to be, I, I, I can't bear it. How can the champion call me uncle?"

Shen Ge smiled, "The champion also came from Shenjia Village. My father and mother are here, and their seniority has not changed. Why can't I call you uncle."

An older person beside him comforted him, "Listen to Mr. Zhuangyuan!"

"That's right, the number one scholar has common sense!"

Before Shen Ge arrived at Shen Hongfa's house, the village elders and Shen Hongfa all came out to welcome them, and everyone drank tea and chatted at Shen Hongfa's house together.

Shen Ge's return home as the No. [-] Scholar is not only a happy event for him, but the whole village is honored.

During the conversation between Shen Ge and the others, the villagers carried out the round tables for eating at home, and set them up one by one in the yard of Shen Hongfa's house.

The patriarch gave some money, and the villagers together gave some money, and early in the morning sent a group of people to Kunjiu County with empty loads to buy things for the banquet.

There are whole fans of pork, big fish on a shoulder pole, seafood, dry goods, flour, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, sugar, etc. If the people at the market hadn’t heard the news, they might have thought it was a shopkeeper who wanted to pick something. Sell.

The stove masters specially invited from Shili Baxiang are also ready, and the aunts and girls in Shenjia Village are busy with work.

There is a folk custom here to hold a banquet for happy occasions, Shen Ge did not stop it, but took out 300 taels of silver to prevent the villagers from spending money.

Shen Hongfa and the clan elders originally didn't want to accept it, but Shen Ge said: "Second Master, don't delay, you also know what the situation in the village is like, you can't make the village poor just because of one meal."

Everyone does not refuse.

The oldest and most senior second master sighed with wrinkled face, "Ge'er, I saw you born, it was still a thin and small doll, I didn't expect it to be so big in a blink of an eye, and I was admitted to the first prize. Green smoke is rising from the grave of my Shen family ancestors."

Shen Ge offered wine to the elders, "It's all thanks to you. If it weren't for the support of the elders in the village, I would not be where I am today."

Shen Ge lost his mother when he was young, and lost his father when he was young. If it wasn't for the protection of the elders of the Gan clan and the care of Mr. Wu, it would not be easy for him to grow up to be so big, let alone take the No. [-] Scholar exam.

It is not that other villages have experienced young people like him. After losing their mothers and fathers, without the protection of their elders, it is difficult for them to keep the money and land in their hands, not to mention studying, it is also difficult to survive.

Shen Hongfa took a sip of his wine in a suffocation, and thought of his difficult wife, he had no face to respond to these words, and said: "That's all we do, Geer, you have today, thanks to your hard work."

"That's reasonable." The second master nodded, "The village didn't help you much, but since you became a scholar, the village has taken advantage of you."

Several other clan elders heard the words and said yes.The atmosphere in Shenjia Village is good, and Shen Ge is now prosperous. The villagers are happy, but they don't post it.

Shen Hongfa said: "Ge'er, you are the champion now, but you need to find a time to pay homage to your parents, don't forget this."

Shen Ge nodded, "I know. This time I went to Beijing to rush for the exam. Not only did I pass the exam, but I also found my uncle."

Shen Ge gave a brief account of his mother's background, omitting part of it, and only said that he was lost at home. Later, he met his uncle, who looked alike, and found out that they were close relatives.

Shen Hongfa said: "This is the fate predestined by God, you invite your in-laws uncle here at noon, and we will meet up."

Shen Ge nodded.

The second master said: "In this case, the relatives on your mother's side should also make a note in the genealogy. In this way, if you are admitted to the first prize, it should be a big event. Why don't we take this opportunity to repair the ancestral grave and comfort the ancestors at the same time?" Also praise my family's prestige."
