Shelter in the pastoral

Fang Shujing's admission as a scholar was a big event that caused a sensation in the whole village.The people in the village couldn't sit still immediately, and some impatient people hurriedly knocked on the door to inform Fang that there were all kinds of noises in their wood furniture factory, and it took a long time before the door opened.

Fang said: "What's the matter?" It was the first time for the family to do such a big business, and now she comes here every day to deliver food and so on.

The person who came came beamed with joy and said, "Why are you still staying at home? Great news, your son has been admitted as a scholar, and the person who will announce the good news is at the village chief's side, so hurry up and pick it up."

"What?" Fang was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "It's true."

"The village chief himself said it could be false? Hurry up."

As soon as Fang was happy, she went in and caught Father Fang who was working.

Father Fang is an experienced carpenter, here he takes the lead.The amount of wood to be cut by so many groups of people depends entirely on his experience, and when Fang made it for him, he said unwillingly, "I'm busy, don't mess around." His son put all the 30 taels of silver in it, He also recruited so many people to work every day. If he didn't earn his capital, he would not feel at ease. Now he consciously works overtime, but was interrupted by Fang's forcefully, and he was a little dissatisfied.

Fang didn't have the same knowledge as him, and said: "Hurry up, change clothes to meet the official." He was so happy that he had to say three sentences in total, and he forgot two.

Fang's person may have a good temper on weekdays, but if she loses her temper, even Father Fang will be afraid of her, so he has no choice but to tell his eldest son in a hurry, and then followed him out.Although I know that the lumber yard makes money, but seeing the current situation feels very hard.Look at the disgraced faces of the two of them, the blue homespun cloth all over their bodies has been turned white by the sawdust.

When I came out of the wood furniture factory, I was dumbfounded. Why did half of the village run here.

They saw him one by one and said, "Congratulations."

"Your family has suffered so much. It's a great thing that Fang Scholar has been admitted as a scholar."

"Yes, yes, please go back and change your clothes."

Fang's words were not clear just now, Father Fang was unprepared, and suddenly heard the news that his son was admitted as a scholar, he froze on the spot on the spot: "What did you say?"

The village chief came over and said, "Hurry up, the person who came to announce the good news is still at my house."

Father Fang's mind went blank, and then he felt a huge sense of surprise in his heart, and his whole body twitched a little.

It was Fang who found it next to him, and said: "Head of the house, what are you doing, don't scare me. Our son is now a scholar. It's a good thing, a big good thing."

There have been good things in the village before, but they were too exciting, and the good things turned into bad things.

Fang had been nagging in his ear for a long time before Father Fang realized it.When he came back to his senses, there was already a circle of people around him, and he didn't even know what happened to him just now!

He blinked and said, "Let's go, change clothes."

Seeing him slowing down, Fang slammed his elbow hard on him.Said: "You scared me to death."

Under everyone's chatter, the old man realized that he was dumb just now. Although his eyes were open, he didn't respond to how he called.

Father Fang said: "I'm so... so happy." He used to think that it would be enough to eat stewed rice in his life.Unexpectedly, now that the wood furniture factory has been opened, the two sons are married, and now the youngest son has passed the exam as a scholar. The huge surprise made him a little unbearable. Now that he has recovered, tears are in his eyes , Even if he died, he would have the face to face his ancestors.

Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang wanted to go back and clean up, but they were afraid that the person who came to report the news would wait in a hurry.Clean the dust and hair on your body with your hands, and go there first.

A group of folks also surrounded the two of them and wanted to go and have a look, but they had never seen it before.

Fang suddenly turned her head and said, "Oh. I said we are the head of the family, and my brain is not working well. Who... who can help me find my little Liu'er. He should know such great news. .”

Everyone wanted to help him, but they didn't want to miss the excitement. At this moment, Xiao Wang in the crowd said, "I'll go." Then he passed away.

A lot of people Wuyang Wuyang's past.

Fang is now in charge of the food for so many people, and she buys everything that is lacking in daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, and she has some money on her.

To announce the good news is to give happy money.

The two yamen servants waited at the village head's house for a long time, and finally when Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Fang came, followed by people who wanted to watch the fun.Even the corridors and yards are full of people.

The two people who announced the good news were the county yamen servants.They knew that Fang Shujing was Lu Butou's good brother, and they were extremely polite when they met his parents: "Congratulations, Young Master Fang has not only been admitted as a scholar, but also No.1 this time."

Hey, the people in the village were shocked when they heard it. How many capable people in a county can come here to take the first place in the exam.

"Okay... okay..." Father Fang was so happy that he didn't know what to say.

Fang quickly took out two strings of copper coins, each with two hundred Wen, and said: "Thank you two officials for coming here and telling us, you take this money to eat wine."

"no, I'm fine."

"You are too polite." The two yamen servants said.

But Fang insisted on giving it, so they accepted it half-heartedly.Very excited after receiving it.They are just little guys who don't have much money to make money on weekdays, but they didn't expect to get so much money this time, enough to drink several drinks when they go back.

The yamen servant said: "Then I will go first. Our Lu catcher said that we will come to visit you in a few days."

"If you have something to do, you should do it first."

The two yamen servants asked the master to copy these names on yellow paper and gave them to them.

Fang's family and Father Fang couldn't read very well, but the yamen servants told them that his son was at the top of the list.I can't wait to give up this piece of paper.

These two just left.Liu Yechen also arrived: "Father, mother, how is your husband?"

He wanted to know the news about Fang Shujing too much.If it wasn't for Xiao Wang's being with him, he would have liked to run over.

Fang said: "Jing'er passed the exam."

The people next to him also said: "I heard from the two officials that Fang Shusheng's first place in the exam is not only tax-free for his family's land, but also five catties of food every month. This is a serious food for the emperor."

"We used to hand over our food, but this is the first time we've heard that it's distributed from above. I don't know if it's delicious or not?"

"Is that still delicious?"

"He also bought the five mu of fertile land from the village chief's house. Every year, that field can produce a lot more grain than other lands. There is no need to pay taxes, so how much can be saved here and there." People in the village looked at the grain It's heavier than anything else, so I can't be envious.

Liu Yechen missed a beat of breathing: "Didn't they take the exam in August?"

"This time, the emperor advances Enke." Aunt Wang said, her ears are the best, and she just heard what the two officials who announced the good news said.

Liu Yechen looked around and said, "What about others?"

Fang said: "He still has work in the academy. Let's cut up three catties of pork today and have a good meal." Fang Shujing is not at home, so he has to take good care of Liu'er.take care of his son.

The people in the village said: "There has been such a big happy event in this village for a long time. You need to set up a few tables in your house."

Fang has always been in charge of this matter.But Father Fang was very happy. Hearing this, he took the initiative to say: "Show it, it must be done. I don't have any money to borrow money to show it. Let's eat a three-day feast."

"it is good."

"It's rich."

"Oh, then I have to keep my stomach." People in the village joked, not everyone can set up a floating mat.

At least only small landlords can set it up. A three-day banquet will cost a lot of money, and they have spent a lot of money.

While talking, another person said: "Fang's... Hurry up... someone comes with something again." When has the village been so lively.People who come now know that they are looking for the Fang family without asking.

Fang took Liu Yechen and rushed over together.

Earlier, the two yamen servants said that Butou Lu would come later, but Butou Lu didn't know how to figure it out. He called someone to report the news, and he followed him.

Seeing Fang's family, he said, "Aunt Fang, Uncle Fang, I congratulate you." Lu Butou is tall and mighty, wearing a suit of Butou's clothes, and carrying so many things behind him.

"Thank you, I made a special trip..."

Although Lu Butou was not in the village, he also knew how to make them more respectable, saying: "Brother Fang is amazing. He won the first place in the examination of so many talents. The county magistrate found out and awarded him 20 taels of silver and two bolts of silk. There are also four snacks. The magistrate of the county praised Brother Fang for a long time in front of me, saying that he is really talented and will be great in the future."

The villagers became more and more excited when they heard this. For this group of villagers who faced the loess and their backs to the sky, the county magistrate was the master of Qingtian.Their parents, officials, actually praised them in person and brought something with them.This is an honor that cannot be cultivated in several lifetimes.

Lu Butou said: "I'm not stingy either. I heard that Uncle Fang likes to drink. I took fifty catties of good wine and caught another pig. Cold pigs are not fat this season, so you can just eat it. "

Everyone had seen the pig's four hooves tied up before, and the pig was carried on a shoulder pole.The pig was still panting.

Lu Butou said it politely, this pig is at least a hundred catties, which is not small, so how much meat can be produced.

The people in the village looked at this pig and wanted to eat it.

"Come and sit at home," Fang said.

Lu Butou said: "No, I'll have a drink with Brother Fang when he comes back next time." After finishing speaking, he added: "Brother Fang also asked me to take care of you. If something happens, call me in the county. You're welcome." After finishing speaking, he unloaded his things in the Fang family's old house, and left with his brothers.

The villagers gasped when they heard that, Fang Shujing was too embarrassed to call Lu Butou a brother and brother, and he could sit at the same table and drink.

These alone are enough for the villagers to talk about for a long time. The last time there was such a big scene in the village was when Fang Shujing married in a thousand-work sedan chair.
