Chapter 673 The Single Seedling in a Thousand Tilting Fields 2
Chapter 673 The single seedling in the thousand-sided ground 2
After dinner in the afternoon, after hearing that Jian Yi was in good health, the village chiefs and elders came to the door one after another. Ji Wuman, who was sitting at the door cutting bamboo strips, looked up and saw, good guys, there are about ten people here.
When Old Man Ji saw the visitor, he quickly stood up and greeted him. He led the person to the main room and shouted to the study on the right side of the main room, "Shuanzi, your third uncle and the others are here."
"Five, six, come on, who will bring the bowl to your uncle?"
Then Mrs. Ji and the five or six adults of the Ji family who had not yet gone to the ground heard the sound and followed them to the main room.
When the patriarch saw that everyone had almost arrived and everyone who was supposed to be there was there, he stopped chatting. He looked at Jian Yi and Old Man Ji and got straight to the point and asked: "Xiucai Gong, Tiezhu, what I said before, you guys have decided on the charter.
?”
After Jian Yi woke up a few days ago, the elders of the clan came to visit him. Seeing that his complexion was much better, and knowing that he was well, they asked him about the sacrifice and the flowing water mat.
At that time, he originally wanted to discuss and resolve the matter right then and there, but Old Man Ji and Old Mrs. Ji took pity on him as he had just recovered from a serious illness and couldn't bear to have him think too much and postponed it for a few days.
"Brother Hua, I asked someone to do the calculation carefully. The day after tomorrow is a good time, and the day after tomorrow is a good time. Which one do you think?"
After discussing the matters of the sacrifice and the running water mat for a day, the clan leader informed Jian Yi of two good days and hours for him to choose.
After the original master passed the examination and gained fame, the original master has grown up in the eyes of these elders and has a certain right to speak. Others no longer arbitrarily act as the master of the original master and treat the original master as a child.
When the original owner was admitted to the scholar examination at a young age, the original owner's voice in the clan became even more important. He could be said to be the most influential person in the clan besides the clan leader and the two older scholars.
Whenever there is an important event in Zhongcun, such as the Qingming festival or a fight between the two villages, the original owner must be invited to the scene to negotiate and make decisions.
Therefore, even if Old Man Ji and the original owner's father Ji Wuman are here, if there is any big issue, they must first ask Jian Yi, the scholar.
After all, this is an era where everything is of inferior quality and only education is of high quality.
Jian Yi looked at Old Man Ji and said, "Grandpa, which one do you think is better?"
The original owner was a filial and humble good boy. When Old Man Ji was present, Jian Yi always had to ask him first to show respect.
Old Man Ji muttered about these two good times over and over again, calculating the time required to prepare the sacrifice and eat the flowing water feast.
"How about the day after tomorrow, when there is enough time." Old Man Ji said hesitantly.
"Yes." It's simple and indispensable. The original owner's teachers and classmates are all in the county, so it can be done on the last day.
"OK."
When the clan leader saw Jian Yi, the person involved agreed, and the matter was settled.
The clan leader looked at Jian Yi with joy and pride, smiling so much that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes increased, "Okay, okay, we have another promising person in our clan."
The twelve-year-old scholar, in the future, it will not be a big problem compared to passing the imperial examination. If he works harder, he might be able to pass the imperial examination and come back. By then, he will be really proud of his ancestors, and their lineage will be the only one in the world.
Can get up.
Listening to the patriarch's words, the young and old of the Ji family and the elders of the clan looked at Jian Yi with heat, their eyes full of longing and hope.
Jian Jian looked at their longing expressions, thinking that in the original plot, the original director would disappear the next year after passing the examination, her heart softened, and she made a promise: "Young man will definitely live up to the expectations of your elders.
After the clan elders left, Old Man Ji and Mrs. Ji talked to Jian Yi about the gifts they had prepared to thank their teachers these days.
After finishing the long thank-you gift, Old Man Ji swallowed his saliva and asked, "Look, do you need to add anything else?"
Eggs, meat, grains and snacks were all available, as well as the sachets specially embroidered by the skilled sixth cousin for the teacher's wife, the thousand-layer shoe soles given by the second aunt, and the smoked dried meat specially given by Ji's mother, which was enough.
Feeling the family's concern and friendship, Jian Yi couldn't help but raise her lips and said, "That's enough milk."
These are the family members that the original owner wants to repay even if he has spent several lifetimes of accumulated merit.
The Jiangnan area has a prosperous literary style and a large number of talented people. It is undoubtedly very difficult to gain a reputation in this area. It is not an exaggeration to say that thousands of troops can cross a single-plank bridge.
This is true even if it is just a children's examination or a college examination.
The original owner was able to enter school at the age of twelve and become a scholar. How outstanding he was. A child prodigy was nothing more than that.
Although there are many prodigies in this land of talented people, not to mention the past dynasties, but also since the founding of the country, there have been nine-year-old scholars and twelve-year-old scholars, but these few prodigies are all from family backgrounds.
It is extremely rare for someone to come from a wealthy family and come from a farming family like the original owner.
Therefore, as early as the day when the original owner was selected, the name of the original owner had already resounded throughout the county, and people were all curious about what kind of handsome young scholar he was.
Those who are interested have already made plans in their hearts. They secretly want to wait until the scholar is in better health so that they can send someone to her door to arrange a kiss as soon as possible.
The teacher and classmates of the original owner were very honored and happy when they heard the news that the original owner had entered the school. They wanted to celebrate the birth of the little prodigy, but they did not want to hear the news that the original owner was seriously ill, so they had to suppress their thoughts.
Now that Jian Yi has recovered from his illness, he came to invite them to a wedding banquet, and they all agreed with a smile.
On the day of the wedding banquet, in addition to the relatives and friends of teachers and classmates who came by simple invitation, wealthy gentry and wealthy people from the county and surrounding villages also came uninvited with generous gifts.
When the squires came to congratulate Jian Yi on being admitted as a scholar, they also brought their relatives with them. They wanted to see each other and marry a girl to win over Jian Yi, a young talented man.
After all, anyone can see that, if nothing unexpected happens, the young scholar has a bright future. Can such a good husband not settle down his own child early?
No, all the older female relatives of the Ji family were surrounded by these ladies, and the flattering Yahuazi laughed out loud. Ji's mother almost agreed to a simple marriage.
Fortunately, Mrs. Ji was older and had experienced more things, so she managed to get through the conversation.
After Jian Yi heard about this incident in the evening, he was quite dumbfounded. At the same time, he woke up with a start. He had to sort out his family's ideological work before going to the county school to study.
First of all, don't rush to decide on the marriage of your two cousins of the right age at home. He will let his sisters look at each other.
Although the old ladies and gentlemen are not the kind of cruel people who despise their granddaughters and don't care about their lives or lives, and would not push their granddaughters into a pit of fire, after all, they are still ancient people who are influenced by feudal ethics and prefer sons over daughters. Compared with those who are already married,
Compared to the original protagonist’s three cousins in the original plot, Jian Jian felt that it was better for him to take care of the marriages of the remaining nine cousins in the family.
After all, compared with the closed information channels of family members, a simple social circle always has a wider acquaintance, and there are more channels to obtain information about the family situation and character of young people.
Jian Jian, who has been a matchmaker for a lifetime, knows very well how powerful matchmakers and middlemen can be. A silly son from a landlord's family can tell you that he is a simple, honest, considerate, intolerant and good young man with a good family background.
