struggle in ancient times

When Liao Tingyu told Deng Shi and the others the good news, Deng Si sat on the ground and wept bitterly. Liao Ming even knelt at the door and thanked the sky, only shouting thank you, God, thank you ancestors.

Liao Shi and his wife embraced each other, wanting to feel the breath of reality from each other.

Maybe it's because being an official is a big deal for this family whose ancestors have made a living in the fields for generations.

This is a great honor for the clan.

No matter how small the Zhima official is, in ancient times, it was necessary to open an ancestral hall. People from the whole clan would be there. It is very ritualistic and gives people a sense of belonging when they live. So there are so many people who don’t want to live even if they know they can’t survive. Uprooted.

Liao Tingyu knelt in front of the ancestral hall, watching the thoughts of the clan elders around him have already flown to the sky.

After kneeling to worship the ancestors, the old people gave him advice.

This is a rare honor for Liaojia Village, which has not been seen in a hundred years.

As the head of a village, during his tenure, he was able to have a scholar, and this scholar was able to become an official. This is an achievement that he can show off in his life.

He secretly made up his mind that as long as Liao Tingyu did not lose the reputation of the Liao family, he would suppress the villagers and not allow them to drag Liao Tingyu back.

In his heart, he hoped that Liao Tingyu would always be this scholarly, that he would not change his mind, and hope that he would be promoted step by step.

For this reason, Liao Ming, Liao Tingyu's father, was specially pulled aside and talked for a long time.

"Everyone in our village knows about your daughter-in-law. We all know that she is not easy, and we know her temperament. In the past, everyone just turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, but it is different now. Isn't your second boy The thing in the pool, my Liao family's century-old glory has fallen to him alone."

"He has the destiny to be an official and is supported by noble people. Although it is said that he has brought glory now, as his relatives in the future, he must be more cautious. Many times, it is because of family problems that he loses this The black hat on your head, you should explain it clearly to her, if it really doesn’t work, go back to the village, it will be much easier with us to take care of it.”

Liao Ming nodded. He didn't agree with the village chief's last words. He knew Deng's heart knot. If she was allowed to come back, he would definitely not want to go back to the village.

And since arriving in the town, Mrs. Deng's behavior has improved a lot.

The preoccupation with such preoccupation was not because the people in the village looked down on them, always saying that his son's ability to be a scholar was a daydream.

Can the daughter-in-law not be angry that day?

In the final analysis, it was his incompetence to become like that.

But now that their family has turned around, how could it be possible for Mrs. Deng to return to this sad place.

But the village chief is right, they should indeed act cautiously and in a low-key manner.

What the village chief was worried about was also what he was worried about. He secretly made up his mind to act like the head of the family and settle unnecessary troubles for his second son.

Especially... Liao Ming squinted his eyes, hiding the figure in the depths of his eyes.

Liao Tingyu returned to the academy again, Master Li observed Liao Tingyu who suddenly became an official.

Liao Tingyu didn't know why the master looked at him like this, which made him feel uncomfortable.

"Master, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't look at me like that, your wife will be jealous."

Master Li looked away after hearing this, "I just want to see what skills you have, you have become an official in such a short period of time."

"You are still curious about me, Zhima official. Why didn't you go when the county magistrate asked you to be his master?"

Mrs. Li raised his goatee, "What do you know, being a master is different from yours. As a master, there are a lot of things to do. You are the most leisurely official. It's a pity that the old man didn't meet him!"

"I see. It's a pity that people don't know what you're thinking, and they think you don't like being an official, and you only like teaching and educating people!" Liao Tingyu knew you well, and I knew the expression on his face, making Mrs. Li toothache in anger .

"Teaching and educating people, if I don't have a good position, I would be rare for such a disgusting thing like you."

"No way, chances always favor handsome men!"

Master Li's eyes were bulging like goldfish.

Is this to say that he is not good-looking?

The two masters and apprentices who disliked each other for a few seconds happily walked together.

Master Li said with emotion: "I don't know when I found out that you are different from before, but now you are indeed different. You are probably the only one in our Qingshan Academy who has been an official before you came out. You are lucky, but this officialdom is no better than in a school. You must remember that it is good to be kind to others, but you must keep your bottom line. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, you can go to the dean. And don’t let go of your studies. Although you are now an official, big or small, if you don’t have a Juren or even a Jinshi, it will be very difficult for you to take a step forward.”

Liao Tingyu nodded, and said with a formal face: "Don't worry, Master, I know, the dean also told me, I will definitely work hard, and I will definitely not be proud of this small achievement, let alone I will live up to what the master taught. I will not let go of my homework, and if I encounter problems, I will come to ask the master for advice."

Master Li stroked his beard, nodded with a smile, he was not worried whether Liao Tingyu would be a good official, he knew the child's temperament.

If a person becomes bad, then he is bad from the root.

The only thing Master Li is worried about now is this apprentice's youthfulness, but after all, his parents are still alive, and it is not easy for him to intervene in some affairs as an outsider: "I also believe in you, after all, I know your character. As an official, you should pay attention to the worldly affairs in the officialdom. Now your mother is a farmer, after all, your vision is limited. Now you can be regarded as a successful career. You should find a good man to spend the rest of your life with. He can help you deal with some things. I don’t know. I have a favorite candidate in my heart, if I have one, I will also drink a wedding wine on the day you get married."

Liao Tingyu nodded shyly as he thought about the teenagers who were having fun together: "Yes, I planned to make my family richer before going to propose marriage, so as not to let him live a hard life with me, but now I can be regarded as successful in my career. I have enough confidence to ask his family for it."

"Oh, I don't know if your favorite is Shuang'er or a girl, what's your personality like? You still lack confidence." Master Li asked curiously.

"He's the son of a merchant in our town. He's a brother, with a more delicate personality, and he looks really cute. Presumably his father was a merchant, so he's got a bit of a true biography. He's a good-looking man." Liao Tingyu thought about the first time When we met, the young man looked confident and confident, and when he thought about it, he unconsciously rolled his eyes.

Master Li was a little worried when he heard that he was a merchant's child, but seeing how deeply in love this disciple is now, he knew that he had put his heart into it.

He doesn't have any prejudice against merchants, but some pedantic scholars are very...

But these are nothing.

Young people, it is better to follow your own mind.

After talking with Master Li for a long time, they met the dean again. The three of them drank a few pots of tea together, talked about their own opinions, and gave him a few words of advice, which benefited Liao Tingyu a lot.

He could have resigned from his job in the academy, but after thinking about it, the town is such a big place, there is nothing to be busy, and the master and the dean accommodated him to transfer some courses for him.

In the first class of class today, I was caught by the students and squeezed out a meal.

The following classes are only a few classes a month, and he has more time to interact with people in the officialdom.

Liao Tingyu was very grateful for the dean's understanding and support. As the head of the first hospital, Qin Guoyuan accepted the gift of thanks from Liao Tingyu without any pressure.

After all, it is about teaching and educating people, and it is inevitable to preach after eating a meal: "You are still young, don't limit yourself to this, you have to work hard, and when you are old, you will look back on your life and you will not regret it."

"Students take note."

Deng is in high spirits now, and the one she is busy at home is in full swing.

They were killing chickens and buying meat, and Liao Ming and his son were helping. According to Deng's words, this year is a good year. But it was stopped by Liao Ming.

He said that he would set off firecrackers when he returned to the village. At that time, he could release as much as he wanted. After all, he just opened a shop and had a child. He has let off firecrackers twice. It is not good to put too many firecrackers in the same place.

These can't stop the enthusiasm in Deng's heart. She couldn't set off firecrackers, so she bought red candles at home, pasted red paper, and lit several sticks of incense for the Kitchen God Bodhisattva.

When Liao Tingyu came home to eat, he saw that the room was brightly lit, the food on the table was even richer, and he even warmed a pot of good wine. If he didn't care about the environment, it would be a bit like a modern nostalgic style environment of.

Liao Ming, as the head of the family, took the chopsticks first.

He picked up the wine glass and said: "This year we have three joys. First, the second child was admitted as a scholar, but our family was happy with the eldest grandson, and then our second child successfully became an official. This is the history of the three generations of our Liao family. The greatest honor. It is also the reward of our Liao family’s hard work for so many years. The boss has paid a lot for the education of the second son, and the second son also bought this shop for his elder brother as a reward. This is very good. Dad here is not What to say, there is only one thing I want to tell you brothers, father and mother are both old, and will be the eldest and second child in the future, you two support each other, you two brothers love each other, unite as one, and make progress together."

"Second brother, remember, don't be satisfied with your current achievements. The man who told you the fortune told you that you are a dragon and phoenix among people, and you can make greater achievements. And the boss will be the person you trust the most. He is also your dearest brother. You have to remember, don't leave him behind." Liao Ming said in a dazed and serious manner.

Brother Liao Tingyu looked at each other and nodded firmly.

Seeing that the two brothers agreed, Liao Ming happily stood up staggeringly, held up his glass and said, "Okay, then let's talk about it today, and don't forget what we said today. Let's celebrate now Somehow, don’t disappoint our family with good wine and good food today, this wine was bought by your mother at noon in the sky.”

Deng usually didn't like the way he drank unconsciously, but at this time, she, who usually doesn't touch alcohol, drank a little wine in small sips.

Then he watched what he liked to eat and chewed slowly, ignoring Liao Ming who was drinking recklessly while he was in a good mood.

Wen Xiu'er had already got out of bed, holding the child in her arms and taking a bite of meat from time to time, while Liao Ming, father and son were drinking together.

That night, the family eliminated all barriers in their hearts, and spent this warm and pleasant evening under the influence of food and wine.

The news about Director Chen's promotion soon spread to the ears of the whole town and the people of status.

And the person who succeeds him will fall into the eyes of those who are superior.
