Shelter in the pastoral

The news that Fang Shujing had passed the exam spread throughout the county.Countless people came to visit the old house of the Fang family, and many even took the initiative to give gifts to make friends, but the Fang family confiscated everything except the gifts from the county magistrate and Lu Butou.

Their threshold will be stepped down.Those rich men who everyone looked up to in the past are now smiling at the side. The neighbors around are feeling that the Fang family is really different. Relatives who have not been in contact with each other for 800 years have also brought generous gifts to the door. All kinds of good words seem to be free of money. Gotta say.

Brother Fang and Father Fang are lazy, let Fang take care of this kind of thing, and Fang will be exhausted just receiving this kind of guests every day.

Li Xiuer said: "Mother, when will Jing'er come back?" Everyone in the village said that she got a big deal. Who would have thought that it would only take a few years for the Fang family to flourish. As for the bachelor, now I see that a widow like Li Xiuer with a child is not guilty at all when she marries in, and she is getting better and better. It would be perfect if her family recruited her as a son-in-law. Who doesn’t think highly of marrying the Fang family in the village? At first glance, it's a pity that money is hard to buy. If I knew it earlier, I should have tried my best to match up with Big Brother Fang to get married. Many people regretted it.

Fang said with emotion: "I should have received his letter soon." This letter was read by Xu Quan. From the letter, I knew that Liu Yechen had found his master. Fang thought that he could find everything. It is God's protection.

After learning that Fang Shujing was coming back soon, the whole family began to look forward to it. The fish, eggs and chicken that the family was reluctant to buy were stockpiled at home. They also suffered outside. The little grandson was only a little big when he left. I wonder if he has grown up?

Li Xiu'er said: "I'll go to the entrance of the village to have a look!" Their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law would keep looking around the entrance of the village when they had nothing to do, but they never saw anyone.

Fang said: "Don't worry about him, let's eat big goose stew at night." I recently bought a big goose, kept a small part at home, and took most of it to the wood furniture factory to eat delicious food.

Li Xiu'er said: "Success." She immediately went to the kitchen.As soon as she left, Fang looked at her eldest grandson hugged and coaxed, and saw Tiantian bouncing up and down: "Uncle is back."

Fang immediately stood up and said, "How do you know?"

Tiantian was much more cheerful than before, and said, "I just saw a lot of carriages going in the direction of my uncle's house."

Fang held the child in her arms and said, "Let's go and have a look." As soon as he left the door, he saw many fellow villagers coming over, "Master Juren is back." They really saw it, and the carriage stopped at Fang Shujing Now, after Fang Shujing was admitted to Juren, many people want to buy a piece of land near him to build a house, saying that if it is closer to Fang Shujing's house, it will be able to influence them and give birth to a smart child.Everyone, they are willing to hang around Fang Shujing's house if they have nothing to do, and they will report the news as soon as the carriage returns!

Fang had long been looking forward to his youngest son's return, and was overjoyed to hear that he was back: "It's pretty fast." He just received a letter from him a few days ago, but he returned after two days.

The walking men beside him said, "It's probably by water."

Fang followed happily.

The news of Fang Shujing's return ignited the entire Qingshui Village. The meals of many villagers' homes had just been served. When they heard that Fang Shujing was back, they put down their jobs and followed them directly. The first person with fame.

All of a sudden, half of the village followed.Soon I saw Fang Shujing. He was wearing a blue scholar's gown, and he was still a handsome and unrestrained scholar. Such a young man is rare in the village, let alone the county. Everyone wants to get a taste of it. This blessing.

After Fang Shujing came back, Xu Quan didn't leave him for a long time, and tears would come down when he saw him again: "Master."

Fang Shujing looked at the tidy and clean yard and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Xu Quan choked up and said, "It's not hard at all to be able to do things for the young master."

As soon as Fang Shujing went out, he saw many fellow villagers standing outside, and asked, "Master Juren is back?"

"How about in the provincial capital?"

"Is the test difficult?"

"It seems more handsome than before."

Fang Shujing simply said a few words to the neighbors, and the Fang family came and said, "Jing'er."

Fang Shi hugged his nephew, Tiantian also came next to him, looking at the little girl Fang Shujing, she felt a little embarrassed, half of her body hid behind Fang Shi and said, "Uncle."

"It's sweet." I gave a silver ingot and made it very small. One was only about half a tael of silver. It was specially melted by a craftsman. It was so delicate that it could be played with in your hand.

It was the first time for Tiantian to look at such a small ingot, her eyes were full of curiosity, but she dared not accept it.

Fang said from the side: "Take it."

Only then did the little girl accept it, and she laughed and said, "Thank you uncle."

Fang Shujing stretched out his hand and hugged his nephew. The members of the Fang family were all good-looking, and the nephew picked the advantages of his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Although he was not as good as Little Hawthorn, he was still a cute fat baby.Fang Shujing may have become a father, but now he likes children.

Fang said: "This child doesn't even have a real name, but his nickname is Zhuang Zhuang." Then he asked Fang Shujing, "Is Little Hawthorn all right?"

"Okay, I can eat and sleep except for being clingy." Fang Shujing mentioned her son with a smile on her lips.

When Fang heard this, she smiled and said, "It's normal for a child who is only over a month old to be clingy. You... you have to take good care of it."

After a while, Liu Yechen and old man Liu came out.

Fang hurriedly went up to greet him, and said, "Doctor Liu, you came back with me. Liu'er will miss you after you leave." She respected old man Liu very much from the bottom of her heart.He is not only skilled in medicine but also kind-hearted. People in the countryside don't have much money.Usually minor ailments are self-sufficient, and only when serious ailments are encountered will they go to the clinic. After inquiring about them, the clinic refuses to admit them for treatment. Old man Liu has always focused on treatment, regardless of money.

Moreover, the little apprentices he raised are also well-behaved, and they just happen to be quite satisfied with being a matchmaker.

Old man Liu said: "There were some things in the past." He briefly brought up the matter of running away from home.

Liu Yechen saw Fang yelling mother.

Seeing that Fang was still looking around, as if looking for Little Hawthorn, Liu Yechen said, "Little Hawthorn is asleep." He fell asleep on the boat just now.I didn't wake up even after changing the carriage.Seeing the child sleeping so deeply, adults like them couldn't bear to shake him awake.

Fang gave a hum.

He said to old man Liu, "Have you seen the little hawthorn?"

These people are all relatives from the next generation. When Old Man Liu mentioned Little Hawthorn, he said, "He is a smart boy with a strong body, and he is a good candidate for a doctor." There is nothing offensive about going to the pharmacy and smelling all kinds of medicines.

When Fang heard that old man Liu said that his little grandson was in good health, she felt relieved.Then he said: "Everyone go to my place for dinner today, I will prepare some dishes."

Old man Liu is just such an apprentice, he is raised by his side like a son, and the two families haven't eaten together yet.

It's hard to reunite this time to make up for this matter.

Fang Shujing said: "OK."

After listening to Fang, she said: "Clean up first when you come back for the first time, then I'll go back and cook." After speaking, she wanted to hug Zhuang Zhuang back.

Fang Shujing said: "Mother, let's take her back later."

Fang thought: "Success, then you have to take good care of my eldest grandson." When she goes back, she has to make arrangements for the table, even if no one takes care of the child, she might as well leave it with him.

Fang Shujing walked into the house with Zhuang Zhuang in his arms, and was very rare for the fat nephew.

Fang Shujing had been away for more than a month, Ah Huang jumped up and down happily when he saw his master come back this time, walking in front of Fang Shujing for a while, and going around behind him for a while.

The tail wags like a hot wheel.

Fang Shujing said: "Ah Huang."

"Wow, woof, woof." Their dog hardly barks, and it must be too excited now.As soon as Ah Huang saw that he had never been wronged at home, his fur was very shiny and fat like a bear.

It's hard to imagine that it was still a puppy that had just been weaned when it was brought back.

Ah Huang's cry surprised the nephew in his arms.Fang Shujing is also an experienced child hugger, patted the child's back with great experience, and said: "Be good and strong." Then he said to Ah Huang: "Don't bark."

Ah Huang groaned in his throat, he was very smart, Fang Shujing and the others went back to the house, and Ah Huang followed him.Standing up with two front paws beside the baby's bed, it was happy to see the little hawthorn: "Ahhhhhhh."

Xu Quan said beside him: "He really likes the young master."

"Yeah." Liu Yechen watched from the side.

Old man Liu went to the yard they entered second, where Liu Yechen lived, there was a pharmacy, and there were various medicine pounders.

There are three other rooms, and the quilts inside are all new.Before Xu Quan received a letter from the young master, he cleaned up the room specially, and put all the bedding in the sun to dry, so old man Liu is very satisfied with this place.

They didn't have many things back from other places, most of them were old man Liu's precious medicines, Liu Yechen simply packed them up, and went to help Master gather them together.

While tidying up, old man Liu randomly checked Liu Yechen's homework to see if he had failed.Thanks to Liu Yechen's hard work and study, he was able to cope with it.

Old man Liu was very satisfied, and said, "Re-read Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases a few more times."

"Yes, Master."

Fang Shujing also put his nephew in the baby bed. Their bed was quite big, and Zhuang Zhuang slept in it just right. As soon as he put Zhuang Zhuang in, Little Hawthorn woke up. This was the first time he saw him. The children who were about the same age were stunned on the spot.

Zhuang Zhuang and Little Shanzhao looked at each other there, laughing non-stop for adults.

"Ah." Little Hawthorn tentatively opened his mouth.

Zhuang Zhuang is worthy of being an elder brother, in front of his younger brother: "Yeah." He looks like an older brother.

Little Hawthorn wants to go over, because he likes the milky smell on Zhuang Zhuang's body, especially when he sees his ears, he really wants to go up and take a bite.

Fang Shujing had been carrying Little Hawthorn with her all the time, so she could see the small thoughts of her own cub, and said, "Don't bite, that's my brother." Little Hawthorn might be about to grow deciduous teeth recently, and he likes to put anything he likes on the table. Take a bite in your mouth.

When Liu Yechen hugged her, she wanted to get in and bite, and Fang Shujing found out several times.

After returning home, Little Shanzha got a good temper, and said, "Ah..." She was fierce.

Fang Shujing said: "No."

"what……"

Xu Quan was watching Zhi Le, who would have thought that the young master, who was praised as the reincarnation of Wenquxing outside, would be arguing with the young master at home.

Ah Huang is also watching from the side, it is a smart dog, the master and the young master are not offended by it, so it is silent at the moment.

Don't look at Xiao Shanzhao's opponent's book is very aggressive, but he is not aggressive towards Brother Zhuang Zhuang and holds his little hand. The two of them are quite comfortable playing there with words that adults can't understand.

Fang Shujing said: "Let's go early, don't make mother wait too long." He was talking beside him.

Xu Quan carried the young master in his arms, and Fang Shujing carried his nephew to Fang's house together.Along the way, everyone came up to see: "Oh, this is your child, he looks really good-looking." It is rare to see a child as beautiful as Little Hawthorn, with big round eyes, which looks very cute, The hair is still very white and the hair is still lush, a bit like Liu Yechen, and Liu Yechen's child is even more beautiful than ordinary children.

Everyone first praised Little Hawthorn for being good-looking, and then they were surprised. Didn't everyone say that his child was born prematurely?How come it looks about the same size as someone who gave birth at full term.Those bright black eyes are very agile, and it looks like a smart child.

How else can Fang Shujing be blessed, not only his daughter-in-law is good-looking, but even his son God has given him the best one.

He was praised a lot along the way, but his little Shanzha seemed to be able to understand. Not only was he not afraid of everyone's onlookers, but he was also smiling.

But his nephew, Zhuang Zhuang, frowned. The children were surrounded by him and couldn't breathe fresh air.The little guy was very irritable. Fang Shujing walked a few steps quickly and went home quickly, so the little guy didn't cry.

Li Xiu'er was working in the yard, and when she heard that the child was back, she rushed to meet her.Zhuang Zhuang only laughed when he looked at his mother, who looked very shy like his father.

Li Xiu'er said: "Mother has cooked a lot of good dishes, I have to help, I will ask you to take care of the child."

Fang Shujing said: "

Hurry up, sister-in-law, Zhuang Zhuang looks sleepy, please coax him, I will cook and help my mother by the way. "He doesn't go home often. Although he gives some money to the family, he lacks some companionship. Now that he is back, he wants to be with Fang.

When Li Xiuer heard this, she quickly refused, "How can I do that?" He came back from the provincial capital all the way. The cook, a promising person like Fang Shujing, should sit at the table and drink tea.

"Ah..." Nephew Zhuang Zhuang is a milk drinker, he could smell it, and arched like a little pig, but Li Xiuer ignored his son, and the little guy also got emotional after a long time.

Fang Shujing said: "You take care of your nephew."

After finishing speaking, he carefully closed the sister-in-law's door.

The son was still in Xu Quan's arms, and when Fang Shujing came back, the little guy gave him a curious look.Fang Shujing smiled and said, "Brother is going to sleep."

Little Hawthorn doesn't sleep much. He sleeps a lot on the boat and carriage, and now he likes to be carried out to play.

Xu Quan seldom hugged the young master like this, and now he hugged this little dumpling and refused to let go.Little Hawthorn also likes to be hugged by him.The body was still leaning against him limply.Xu Quan smiled even more happily and said, "The young master must like me."

Fang Shujing said: "You can carry him out to play for a while."

Xu Quan heard Fang Shujing's words, and immediately hugged the child and said happily: "Let's go, he is quite tall together. He heard the cheerful laughter of his little hawthorn.

Fang Shujing raised a smile on the corner of his mouth, and went in to help Fang.

Fang's cooks big pot meals for people every day in the wood furniture factory, and now he has practiced. He listens to six roads and sees all directions. It's almost gone.

Fang Shujing came in and rolled up his sleeves and said, "Mom, I'll help you."

As soon as Fang saw him, she smiled and said: "No, you should go back and rest quickly, I will do this little work myself."

Fang Shujing said: "It happens that I'm fine. Liu'er and his master are still arranging things. Xu Quan took the little hawthorn to play. Zhuang Zhuang is hungry and pesters his sister-in-law. Now I'm the only idler." Started washing dishes.

Fang Shujing has work in his eyes, and it will be a lot easier to have him in Fang's.

Fang looked at him, smiled lovingly at him and said, "That's fine." Let him wash and chop vegetables beside him.Don't let him cook with oily smoke or anything like that.Fang Shujing quickly washed and cut the vegetables and meat to be used. Seeing that the fire in the stove was not burning, she quickly added a fire to the side.

Seeing Fang Shujing, Fang also had mixed feelings in her heart. Fortunately, there is Fang Shujing in their family, otherwise the whole family would not be able to survive.He can still be admitted to Juren, and even if she dies in this life, she can still stand up straight when she sees the ancestors of the Fang family.

Tears fell from the heat of the meal.

It happened to be seen by Fang Shujing.He took out the handkerchief and handed it to Fang, saying, "Mother, don't cry."

Fang took the handkerchief and wiped her eyes and said, resisting the feeling of wanting to cry, said with a smile: "Today is a day of great joy. It's my mother's fault." She just thought of the past, compared with the present life, it is really a dream Same.How could she have expected Fang Shujing to be so upbeat.

Fang still wanted to say a few words of emotion, but Li Xiuer came in and said, "Mother, if there is anything left to cook, I'll come." Every time Fang Shujing comes home, it's like Chinese New Year.She can't hide at this time either.

Fang said: "You are here, so strong."

Li Xiuer said: "Tiantian is watching." It's like this in the countryside, the older ones look at the younger ones.

Upon hearing this, Fang said: "Count up the dishes in total. Doctor Liu is here for the first time today. Let's make ten dishes that are perfect."

Fang Shujing said: "I'll have chili fried pork again." I saw peppers growing in the small yard just now, and his wife likes to eat this dish the most.It just so happens that I haven't eaten well during my journey these days, so I want to get some spicy food to appetize.

Upon hearing this, Fang laughed and said, "I know you can cook, but today you can try my cooking."

Li Xiu'er also said: "Yes, you can rest."

Fang thought: "If you are free, take Zhuang Zhuang to play. His father goes to the wood factory every day, and your sister-in-law's arm is also tired." This is the trouble of having a big fat grandson, although he is smart and cute. Rare but few people can hold him to play.

Fang Shujing saw his mother specially gave him this order.Said: "Okay."

Li Xiuer was also very happy to hear that, and she also hoped that her son would have more contact with this promising Juren uncle.After a while, Fang Shujing and his son walked around the yard.His eldest nephew is much more honest than little Hawthorn.

Father Fang and Brother Fang didn't come back until evening, and gave the workers below a holiday.When I came back to see Fang Shujing, I was also very excited, but men are not good at expressing. Father Fang just said after watching for a long time: "It's good to be back." Looking at Fang Shujing, he said: "I heard that the imperial examination is very hard. Go home and make up for it!"

Brother Fang looked at Fang Shujing hugging his son and said, "Your nephew must be fat."

Fang Shujing hummed.

Brother Fang was a little greedy, and said, "If you feel tired, I'll hug you."

Mrs. Fang, who came out of the kitchen, listened seriously, and said: "I know how to hold my son, go back and wash it up, look at you, it seems like you have rolled through the mud several times." After a while, old man Liu Come on, pay attention.

Brother Fang and Father Fang couldn't care less about looking at their son, so they hurried back to change.

After a while Liu Yechen and old man Liu came.

Fang set up the biggest round table.All the wine that I was reluctant to drink at home was also taken out.

"You've worked hard, I suggest that you all have a toast." Father Fang was so happy.He heard that Fang Shujing's admission to Juren was like a dream, and it was always light and unreal. It was not until the county magistrate and Lu Butou Hexi that he realized it was true. What a blessing.

As soon as Father Fang spoke, everyone toasted together.

Afterwards, Father Fang asked Old Man Liu how he was doing, and the family had a lively meal.

I couldn't help but started to praise Fang Shujing, and the more she praised her, the more she blushed.

Old man Liu said: "It's really good." He also enjoys living together during this period of time, no wonder the little apprentice likes him so much.A handsome man with a sweet mouth is good for his son, and he is also promising in his studies. There is really nowhere to find such a son-in-law with a lantern.

Little Hawthorn was hugged by Liu Yechen.The little boy is not sleepy and likes to look around, he is very cute and clever.

If it wasn't for the celebration of their return today, everyone would have hugged and kissed each other.The little grandson is really good-looking.

After three drinks and five dinners, Fang Shujing said casually, "Mother, I'm afraid I won't be staying at home for long this time."

Fang said, "Where are you going if you're not at home?"

Fang Shujing said: "My official position has been transferred, and I am going to be an official in a county." As soon as the words fell, the audience was shocked.

Fang thought that nothing could shock her, but the news exploded in her heart like a heavy firework.Be an official?If he went directly to become an official in the county, wouldn't he be the magistrate of the county?

No one in the room spoke, maybe it was Fang Shujing's illusion, the heartbeat in the room was a little louder.
