In the center of Luye City on Jiannan Road, there is the majestic and heavily guarded Jiannan Road Jinglue Envoy Yamen. Niu Mandi, the Jinglue Envoy, is drinking alone in the large study. Niu Mandi is of medium build, neither fat nor thin, with two thick eyebrows. , a pair of large triangular eyes, a high bridge of nose, and three strands of mustache. Although he is wearing casual clothes, he has a strong aura and is very majestic.

There are three or five exquisite side dishes on the table, made by Gu Benyuan, a chef from Jiangdong Province. Niu Mandi likes the dishes of Jiangdong Road very much, so he hired this chef for one hundred taels a month and cooked for him every day. Niu Mandi's house is filled with all kinds of food. In fact, he can't eat so much, but he still has to save a lot of food.

Apart from eating, Niu Mandi was not so obsessed with other things, because Niu Mandi was really hungry. In his childhood memories, besides being hungry, he was still hungry. He even dug through mouse holes and robbed mice of their food. eat.

As long as you hear his name, Niu Mandi, you will know that this is a name given by a farmer with no culture. It cannot be more vulgar and vulgar. It will definitely not have any family background or a wealthy family. In fact, this is also true. Niu Mandi is from Jiangdong Taoism, and his father named Niu Yiqun is a cattle herder who herds cattle for the landlord's family. Niu Mandi's mother fell ill and died when he was three years old.

When Niu Mandi was just born, his father hoped that he could inherit his father's business and be able to herd cattle for the landlord's family in the future. Eventually, his own family would be able to raise so many cattle that the land would be filled with cattle, so he was named Such a name makes people want to laugh, Niu Mandi. Of course, this name is easy to understand and can be remembered at once. Even though Niu Mandi has become a feudal official, he still has not changed this tacky name. Niu Mandi I hope that I will never forget my roots.

Niu Yiqun hopes that his son Niu Mandi can also herd cattle for the landlord's family, but Niu Mandi doesn't think so. When Niu Mandi was five or six years old, he often sneaked behind the wall of the village school to listen to his teacher's teachings while herding cattle. Listening to the friends in the village reading, the sound of reading is Niu Mandi's favorite.

That year, the cows were ten years old, and his father asked him to herd the cows. As a result, he sat mesmerized outside the school wall and listened to his teacher's teaching. He didn't even know that the cows he was herding had escaped. Uncle Pan from Hao Neighbor Village brought back his lost cow. When he returned home that night, the cows were all over the floor and were beaten up by a group of disappointed cows. The group of cows really didn't understand his son and squatted on the wall of the school instead of letting the cows go. What are you doing outside?

A group of cows roared and cursed, and the ground was full of cows, "You're a fucking cowherd, just herd your cows properly, what's the use of going to the school to listen to books? Those who passed the examination are all stars in the sky descending to earth, you If you had that kind of blessing, you wouldn’t be born into our cow family, and you would have to herd cows!”

Niu Mandi couldn't help but yelled at his father, "Sir, you don't need to buy fertile land for a rich family, there are thousands of millet millet in the book. You don't need to build a high building to live in peace, there is a house of gold in the book. Don't hate unscrupulous people when marrying. Matchmaker, there is beauty like jade in the book..."

How could a group of cows understand what Qianzhong millet is, what a golden house is, and what Yan Ruyu is. They couldn't help but became furious, and dragged the cows over to the ground and beat them up. While beating them, they scolded, "I don't understand, I'm

your dad!"

There was nothing Niu Mandi could do about such a father in the stall, but Niu Mandi insisted on a belief in his heart. I want to study. Even if I can only herd cows in this life, I will be a different cowherd, one who can read and read. Cowherd! It doesn't matter if you don't have paper or pen. The sand is paper and the stick is pen.

Without telling his father, Niu Mandi secretly borrowed a copy of the "Three Character Classic" from a large landowner, and followed the words in the book to write gourds and gourds on the sand with wooden sticks.

A month later, Niu Mandi's borrowing of writing material was finally discovered by Niu Yiqun. This time, Niu Yiqun, who always used fists to talk to his son, made an exception and did not beat Niu Mandi again. Instead, he shamelessly begged his employer.

Gu Dahu, can you also let my son learn a few words in the school? Gu Dahu is a nice person, and it is not a bad thing to study and read, so he readily agreed.

In this way, Niu Mandi finally went to school to study. Niu Mandi was different from other children. He knew that there was nothing at home, so he had to work ten times harder than others. If other children read the books once, he would

He only watched it three times. If other people's children carried it three times, he would carry it ten times. In the afternoon, when he got home, he would clean the cow pen with his father, add fodder to the cows, and even deliver the cows.

The hard days passed in agony day by day. Niu Mandi worked and studied at the same time. Mr. Liu from the school was very pleased to see him studying hard and would often give him pointers. Niu Mandi soon grew up to fifteen years old.

Being bold and ambitious, he borrowed some money from his classmates and secretly went to the county to take the childbirth examination.

Niu Yiqun knew that after his son borrowed money to secretly take the children's examination, he just returned the money and did not beat him. When the results of the county examination came out, Niu Mandi got the first place in the county's criminal examination. Niu Yiqun

Finally, he began to look at his son seriously, and he discovered that this boy was not a cowherd, but a scholar.

On the night when the results of the county examination came out, a group of cows drank some wine. Their faces were red and a little excited. They pulled their son in front of them and said seriously: "Son, my father is just a cowherd. He can't read a single word, but he didn't expect that."

You will be good at studying. Mr. Liu from the school often praises you for being smart. Dad didn't believe it before. Now look, you may have a future! Okay, you should study hard. If you really can get admitted as a scholar,

Mr. Xianggong, that will bring glory to our ancestors! Counting down our Niu family, we are either digging in the soil or herding cattle. Our ancestors have not produced a single scholar for eighteen generations, so it’s up to you!"

With the reassurance given by his father, Niu Mandi could finally study with peace of mind. Two months later, he took the government examination again. After the results came out, he was still the first in the case. Niu Mandi officially became a child student. A group of Niu and Niu Mandi

Mandi went to his ancestors' graves to burn incense and kowtow, asking for their blessings. After that, Niu Mandi took the college examination again, and when the results were announced, he came first again and was the first in the case. From then on, Niu Mandi finally relied on his own efforts.

Became a scholar.

Needless to say, Niu Mandi was very happy when he became a scholar. His father, Niu Mandi, was even happier than Niu Mandi. He almost went crazy with joy. He told everyone he met, "My son has become a scholar!"

I was happy for him, but also laughed at him. From then on, I no longer called him Niu Yiqun, I only called him Niu Luoluo.

After entering school and becoming a scholar, naturally he could no longer herd cattle, so Niu Mandi went to a school in a nearby village to become a teacher. While teaching Meng children, he also studied on his own, preparing to take part in the provincial examination two years later. The first provincial examination,

Niu Mandi failed the exam, but he was not sad. He still returned to his hometown to teach. Some people laughed at him, but Niu Mandi didn't mind. It was a miracle that a cowherd boy became a scholar, and it didn't mean he had no chance to take the exam again.

Three years later, 21-year-old Niu Mandi won the exam again, ranking ninth. From then on, Niu Mandi transformed into Mr. Niu. The Niu family lived in a mansion donated by others, and they talked and laughed like scholars.

, there is no Bai Ding in their dealings. A group of Niu bought yellow paper, good wine, and pig heads, and went to the graves of their ancestors to fulfill their wishes. The Niu family had a master, who became the pride of the village and the countryside. The nickname of Niu Madman, people in the village no longer dare to call it casually.

.

In the second year after winning the imperial examination, Niu Mandi went to Beijing to take part in the imperial examination and was admitted as a tribute. Two months later, he took part in the imperial examination and ranked twenty-ninth in the second class. When Emperor Huizong saw this name, he burst out laughing.

It was so cheesy and cute. He asked about Niu Mandi's hometown and paid attention to him. Huizong asked him if he wanted to give him a name because his name was too vulgar. Niu Mandi refused confidently. The name was given by his father.

I dare not forget my roots!

Huizong greatly praised him, he was a filial son! After passing the imperial examination, he had no status in the Imperial Academy and was released to the magistrate of Tieshan County, Jianzhou County, Jiannan Road. In the true sense, he was a small seventh-rank sesame official.

Niu Mandi, who became the county magistrate, was very high-spirited. During his tenure, he established schools and agriculture, and was good at managing his superiors, so he was quite popular in politics. After his term expired three years later, he was transferred to Songshan County, Songshan County, Jiannan Road, as magistrate. After completing his term in Songshan County,

, was promoted to the governor of Songshan County. When he went to Beijing to report on his duties, Huizong recognized the governor's cattle all over the ground and joked with him with a smile, "Is your Majesty in good health? Do you still herd cattle?"

From then on, Niu Mandi had a nickname among officials, called Niu Mandi Sheriff. Of course, after Niu Mandi became a civil servant, his father, Niu Yizu, no longer herded cattle. No matter how courageous Gu Dahu was,

You don’t dare to let Juren’s father herd the cows, do you? It’s too late to curry favor! What’s more, now that the cows are all over the land, he has become a fourth-level county guard?

In Niu Mandi's third year as the county governor, Niu Yiqun died of illness. Before he died, he held Niu Mandi's hand and earnestly warned him: "Son, you can become such a high official as the county governor. It's really a blessing from your ancestors!"

Don't forget, we are born as cattle herders and are poor, so we know the hardships of poor families best. Dad hopes that you will do more for the poor so that they can have food to eat and clothes to wear.

Don’t worry, don’t forget your roots!”

A group of cattle died with a smile, and Ding You was at home. More than two years later, Ding You's term expired and he returned to Yong'an to wait for his post. Three months later, he released the county magistrate of Huzhou County, Jiannan Road. Some classmates laughed at Niu Mandi.

He started as a county magistrate, worked as an official for half his life, and worked as a general manager, without ever leaving Jiannan Road.

Jiannan Road is where Niu Mandi made his fortune, but it eventually became Niu Mandi's sad place. Now, Niu Mandi, who has become the envoy of Jiannan Economic Envoy, has another thought. In these troubled times, heroes emerge from troubled times.
