Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

The people on the list in Chunwei are those who are proud of the spring breeze and suffer from horseshoe disease, and they can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.In fact, the people who were raised in Qiu Wei are almost the same.

Before they came back, the posts from each family had already flowed in like snowflakes, this one was called classmate, that one was called senior brother, in short, they came here as they liked.

When these three people came back from Fucheng on the same day, when they went back to the village respectively, all the old and young people in the village lined up to welcome them.You must know that Juren already has the possibility of being replaced by an official, and maybe he can be replaced by a county magistrate or the like. When they go to the county seat, they can also swagger.

Yang Yicheng arrived at the entrance of the village in a bullock cart, saw his father, mother and elder brothers standing in front together, and other villagers standing behind, got out of the cart immediately, and knelt down in front of the village chief.

"The boy has lived up to everyone's expectations and has finally achieved something. Lao's parents and elder brothers have already been waiting here, and this is really disappointing! I should be the one who visited the homes of the villagers."

Everyone who said these words felt warm in their hearts. The children taught by the village head are good. Even if they become masters, they will not put on airs at all.

The village chief hurriedly helped him up, and then prepared to pay for the cart, but the man who drove the ox cart kept refusing, "I burned high incense today, and I was able to send a master Juren back to the village. This is a great joy." How can I ask for this money?"

"Brother, take it, take it, we don't feel at ease if you don't want the money!"

"No, no, but hey, I also have an idea, listen to it, if you don't make it, take it as a joke." The coachman laughed innocently, with an unconcealable joy on his face.

"Brother, just say it." Yang Yicheng persuaded.

"My wife just gave birth to a baby two days ago. She was fat and beautiful, and everyone said she was blessed. I thought, if I were to marry such a good baby, it wouldn't sound good. So, I thought Lord Juren, please give my baby a name."

"Dare to ask your eldest brother's name?"

"Don't dare, my surname is Liu, and I gave birth to a boy, and our family doesn't have many characters, so you can just choose a name for him from those characters."

Yang Yicheng pondered for a while, "May he be kind to others in the future, act openly and aboveboard, and be a man. Let's call him Liu Heguang."

"Treat people leniently, be open and aboveboard, okay, thank you, Master Juren, I am happier to have this name you gave me than anything else." Liu Chefu thanked Yang Yicheng repeatedly, and then left.

Seeing this scene, the other villagers were deeply proud. Such a master Juren is their fellow countryman, and it is a great blessing to be protected by him in the future.

Some people who are about to have a baby at home see this scene, and they think that when the baby is born in the future, they should ask the master to name it!

Zhang Shu helped Li Mujin sit on the big rock at the entrance of the village, and also came out to get some light.Their child is about to be born, and with the light of this Wenqu star, they will be able to study and become talented in the future.They want to make good money now, and send their children to Mo's Academy to study in the future.

Everyone surrounded the new master Juren to go home, and they were beaming along the way, happier than in the New Year.

On the other side of Hanyang Village, Zhang Juren was sitting on the bullock cart, waved proudly to the villagers who came to greet them, and then watched them walk behind the cart.

After returning home, he went in and asked Zhang Yun to come out and pay.Wearing patched clothes, the sallow and emaciated Zhang Yun took out more than [-] copper coins from the bag and put them in the driver's hand, thinking to himself, my husband has missed several eggs.

The coachman took the money and inquired, "Are you a servant of this Master Juren's family? Master Juren is really impressive, and he is usually very dignified, right?"

These words made Zhang Yun's face flush, "I, I am his wife!"

The coachman was surprised for a moment, and then contemptuously said, "How could Master Juren marry someone like you? Don't be ridiculous. You are clearly a cooking woman, and you are still pretending to be the wife of Master Juren here. You are really brave." ah!"

Zhang Yun's chest heaved violently a few times, and then tears came out. The coachman hurried away, fearing that others would say that he bullied Master Juren's servant. You must know that beating a dog depends on the owner!

She went in with tears in her eyes, and was scolded as soon as she entered, "Cry, cry, cry, cry all day long, my son just came back, do you want to make him feel bad?"

"Mother-in-law... that person just now said that I am my husband's servant..."

"Yunniang, let him say what other people say. Didn't I teach you? However, your body is indeed too ugly. It's better to change."

Zhang Yun looked at Zhang Wenjie in amazement. He used to praise her for being ancient when he saw her dressed like this, but now he said she was ugly?

But she has always been obedient to Zhang Wenjie's words, and immediately went back to the room and changed into her best clothes. By the way, she also changed the two daughters who were hiding in the room into clean clothes.

The pickiness in Zhang Wenjie's eyes is a little less. The ancients said that a wife who is a mess should not be abandoned. In view of the fact that she has worked hard for the whole family in the past, he will not divorce his wife, but it is not considered that a successful man has two concubines. What.

Just now his mother had taken him to see the vulgar things sent by those flatterers, the whole room was piled up, and there were three or forty taels of silver alone.

Ten years of studying hard in the cold window, in exchange for becoming famous all over the world, this feeling makes Zhang Wenjie quite ambitious. As long as he can become an official, what is the hardship he has endured?

……

Zhang Shu didn't know that his uncle had already passed the exam, because he didn't think of it at all.But even if he knew, it wouldn't matter, and he wouldn't force himself to please this person. It would be happier to please the son of their village chief.

At least Yang Yicheng seemed more upright than Zhang Wenjie. Zhang Shu had a very bad impression of that fake gentle uncle. He had hardly seen him a few times since he was a child. The eyes are also lofty.

He is planting autumn potatoes now, and other villagers planted autumn potatoes earlier than him, and started planting autumn potatoes almost as soon as the autumn harvest was over. He wanted to prolong the time, but his own planting was late.

When I came back from the field, I happened to meet the village chief who asked the family to have a feast tomorrow.The village chief's family has a big business, and they put the banquet on the grain drying field, with a total of seventy or eighty tables.Zhang's family immediately agreed cheerfully. I am afraid that some people will not be able to eat such a big happy event in their lives.

The weather in September was just right to bask in the sun, and everyone sat on the table, sweeping away the fatigue of the previous few days.Zhang Shu and the Laiwang family sat at the same table. This table was Zhang Shu’s table, seventy or eighty tables. Of course, they had to move the table by themselves.

On the table was a plate of peanuts, a plate of melon seeds, a stack of dates, and a stack of champion cakes.This is a cold dish, please eat it first.

Some tables are for a family, and the elders do not allow children to reach out for them. They only wait for the banquet to be over, and then take them back with a cloth bag to eat slowly.

Zhang Shu's table was already full, and Dabao had a lot of things in front of him, which made the children next to him look at him enviously.

Dabao doesn't usually go out to play, so he naturally doesn't have any brotherhood. He only gave two dates to a younger sister, and the rest of them don't want it.

The hot dishes will not be served for a while, because Yang Yicheng and his teacher and classmates have not arrived. They are the guests of honor today, so naturally we have to wait for them to arrive.

Yang Yicheng had already gone to the entrance of the village to greet him. After a while, he led a group of people wearing robes, who seemed to have a special temperament. They talked and laughed, and said some things that the villagers couldn't understand along the way, which made everyone a little ashamed.

It wasn't until Yang Yicheng blended in seamlessly with these people that everyone realized that a golden phoenix really flew out of their mountain nest. Although he was nice, it was absolutely impossible to treat him with the previous attitude.

Several of Yang Yicheng's gentlemen were seated at the chairman's seat. In addition, there were also his father, relatives of his family's grain collectors, and several village chiefs from neighboring villages.

Yang Yicheng was sitting with his classmates, and that Yan Fusheng also came. He is both a classmate and a younger brother, so the friendship is naturally much better than others.

For some reason, Zhang Wenjie, who passed the exam in the same year, was not invited by the two of them, and they didn't even talk about him.

A pair of red firecrackers was coiled round and round in front of the grain drying yard. Yang Yicheng's brother lit it with a stick of incense. In an instant, the sound of "cracking" could be heard endlessly.

Zhang Shu and Li Mujin reached out and covered each other's ears at the same time. This was a tacit understanding they had cultivated since childhood. The two smiled at each other, and their warmth flowed silently.

He Yue stretched out his hands to cover Dabao's ears, and Laiwang covered He Yue's ears. In the eyes of Yu Xiaoliu, a widow from a lonely family, it was really exciting.

After the sound of firecrackers, the hot dishes were served, and with the shouts of the young men in the village, the names of these very festive dishes appeared in front of everyone.

What "magpies ascend to branches", what "golden list titles", what "leads the number one", and what "toad palace wins laurels" all sound very remarkable.

"Magpie Dengzhi" is chicken roasted with pine branches, "Jinbang Title" is a plate of golden corn kernels, "Duhantou" is steamed soft-shelled turtle, and "Toad Palace Zhegui" is sweet-scented osmanthus lotus seed lily soup.

There are also some other dishes such as "Fu Xing Gao Zhao" and the like, which have also taken meanings.

The villagers were fortunate enough to eat at the same table with these literati, and their manners were a little more refined, and even those rough bosses who usually didn't care about it, their movements were much lighter.

The banquet set by the village head can be said to be the only one, at least those turtles have never been seen at other people's banquets.

In fact, they didn't give any money. The money was basically paid by Yang Yicheng. One person who passed the exam was rewarded with 30 taels. After returning to the county seat, the county master rewarded another 50 taels. One person was rewarded with 20 taels, that is to say, they got 100 taels just for the silver reward for passing the exam!

It turned out that Yang Yicheng went to school alone in the county, spending a lot of money, and his brothers and sisters-in-law at home were also quite critical, but the village chief was young and powerful, and he was very dignified at home, so that they would not be distracted. Now that Yang Yicheng passed the imperial examination, those people would not The words that he dared to say easily disappeared without a trace.

This further strengthened Zhang Shu's willingness to make money. Only when the family is well, his children can receive the best education and become knowledgeable about etiquette. Even if they fail to honor their ancestors, at least they will not be looked down upon when they go out.
