Chapter 22 Worship
Woniu Village
"Congratulations to Mr. Pei Ziyun, Jiangping County, for being the chief of the Dong'an Prefecture County School, now he won the tenth scholar in the Dong'an Prefecture Academy Examination, and was appointed as the student of the Jiangping County School. Good news will be spread in the future..."
The county yamen runners came to inform Pei Ziyun that he had won the tenth scholar and was a student of Jiangping County. The village was happy. It was estimated that it was just these few days. The village felt that Pei Ziyun was young and was a person who moved here. He didn't expect it, but who knew he was defeated.
Even if he is not surnamed Zhang, he is also a scholar in the village, so there are naturally many benefits. He has been busy these days, and the village chief arranged for people to prepare some dried fruits and sugar products. There were big fat pigs tied up in the kitchen, put them aside, screaming, and chickens, ducks, geese, etc. that had been closed long ago.
In this era, there is no refrigerator, so the meat is prone to deterioration. So I won’t kill it, just wait for the scholar to come back and kill it. However, live birds were prepared early.
At this moment, the Pei family had already had an aunt from the village coming and was helping with things, saying: "Your Majesty Pei has become a scholar, and you will be happy in the future."
My sister-in-law did the work, but Pei Qian was like an outsider who couldn't help.
By the way, Pei Ziyun was thinking of his mother and Ye Suer in his heart, and went home the next day. He was accompanied by a ox cart. Cao San and Pei Ziyun were sitting, with luggage inside, followed by four archers.
It was natural that the road was peaceful, but it was still far away from the village, so I saw someone watching the road from afar.
"Stop!" Cao San felt something was wrong, so he said instructed, stepped forward and jumped down. With a "wow", he immediately pulled out the knife and observed the surroundings.
The four archers behind, although they were all archers, were all carrying swords, and immediately lined up to draw their swords. They looked sharp and looked like a frightened tiger.
When I saw someone opposite, it was closer. Pei Ziyun saw that he was from the village and hurriedly said, "Captain Cao, he is from our village. It seems that he is welcoming us."
After saying this, Cao San looked carefully before slowly retracting the knife, and the four people behind him were the same.
"Jiang has not been founded for a long time, and even the archers are so elite." Pei Ziyun glanced at him and couldn't help but praise him secretly. The villagers were approaching. Seeing that Guo was Pei Ziyun, they couldn't help but be overjoyed and shouted: "Erzhao, go back and report the message quickly. My husband has come back, so I'll kill pigs and kill **********. I'll go now!" These two boys were a young man. He glanced at Pei Ziyun enviously and headed straight back.
The ox cart walked slowly and returned to the village. The village chief, the old and the villagers all came out outside the mud wall. When they saw the scholar coming back, they shouted: "Set off firecrackers!"
The sound of firecrackers immediately rang out, and many children hid in their mother's arms, stretched their heads and looked at them with wide eyes. Some older children tried their best to squeeze in front, but were pulled back by their parents at home.
There was a noise, and the clan elder took Pei Ziyun's hand and kept praising him, saying that before Pei Ziyun and his son came to the village, they saw something different, so they gave the discount and allowed the two to live in the village.
The noise outside finally came home, and with the order of the village chief, the livestock were killed in the reed shed. I saw a fat pig. At this moment, I felt that I had reached the last moment and finally struggled and wailed. My aunt started to be busy, and she started to make all the chickens, ducks, fish and meat.
After a while, fish were slaughtered, chickens were killed, meat was boiled, and croquettes were filled with white mist and the aroma of meat and coriander was full of fragrance. Someone asked the village chief: "Uncle San, is it worth it to be so many livestock for this scholar?"
"Bastard, this boy from the Pei family is only fifteen years old. Maybe he will be able to offend him in the future, so how can he offend him?"
"And even scholars, we can get a lot of benefits."
"There is no benefit. I'm giving my own tax exemption. Although the Pei family is an outsider, several families with the surname Pei have moved here over the years - how can I give it to our Zhang family!"
"You don't believe it, saying you are stupid. The tax officials sent by the county are bullying us without scholars. It is common for us to add to the public at will. Now that we have scholars in our village, this alone will be exempted from a lot of things."
"If there is labor service, water fight, and complaints, there are all benefits, and you only feel sorry for this little money!"
"And look, the scholar returned to his hometown and brought the county patrol soldiers!" The village chief scolded, and saw someone coming in, he waved: "Come here, where have you been?"
"It's almost home."
While speaking, the music was loud. Of course, there was no regular orchestra in the countryside, but it was just a hype. Someone from the Pei family, Pei Qian, had informed him early, saying that Pei Xiucai and Master Pei came back, and then came out. At first glance, he saw that it was his son.
My son was wearing a blue shirt, but he was a little thin and felt a little distressed, and tears immediately came down.
When Pei Ziyun saw his mother, she recalled the family background she mentioned before she set out. She knew that her mother was looking forward to being a scholar and shining her family, so she quickly took out a document from her arms.
"Mom, look!"
Pei Qian took it with her hands tremblingly. She was literate. When she opened it, she saw that she had given me fame and honor. She also had a seal of prefect and academic affairs. The sub-piece was also stamped with a seal of county magistrate. Pei Qian smiled and her eyes turned red: "My son, my son... I have been waiting for more than ten years, and finally I have been waiting for today."
"You go back to your room with me and pay homage to our ancestors!" Pei Qian said, and rushed into the inner room. Someone wanted to follow us, so someone pulled him: "What are you going to pay homage to our ancestors?"
Pei Ziyun followed in and saw Pei Qian kneeling on a spirit card wrapped in a cloth sobbing in a crying voice: "My husband, have you seen it? My son finally has a bright future."
She burst into tears, as if she was about to vent all the hardships and hardships over the years.
Pei Ziyun cried bitterly as she looked at her stubborn mother on weekdays, and her heart was mixed. The original owner did not win the scholar until she passed away, and she did not win a year after her death. What a pity?
At this time, Pei Qian held back her tears, she stepped forward, lifted up the layers of wrapping cloth, revealing a spirit sign inside, which read "Pei Yuanxing Lingtai" and couldn't help crying again.
"My son, your father was killed by the thief and was falsely accused of being a thief. Your mother was incompetent and could not obtain the corpse and bury it. She had to carry the spiritual throne and flee all the way here."
"On the road, I met a Taoist. I learned about this and said: Madam, your husband is an official, died of merit in guarding the territory, but was slandered and fell into the underworld. This spiritual card has been established and has been effective. I can't stand the heroes' grievances and have no human affairs. But I can help you in the future. I will give you a talisman and wrap it with the spiritual card. You can worship every festival, but you can't see the light at will."
"When the day comes, the young doctor becomes a scholar and has the protection of fame and fame in the new dynasty, he can open public worship, otherwise your deceased husband will suffer."
"I was still skeptical, but there was a validity that night. Your father fell into a dream. He did not talk about the past few years, let alone the matter of the spiritual position. He could finally take it out."
Speaking of this, Pei Qian recalled the past and couldn't help crying: "My husband, you haven't seen the light of day for fifteen years, and you can finally see the child today."
"My son, why don't you kowtow to my father?"
In my memory, Pei Ziyun used to worship his ancestors every year, but only bowed to the spiritual cards wrapped in cloth. When he was a child, he wanted to untie it, but was beaten by his mother. At this time, he obediently stepped forward and knelt down to him.
The moment he knelt down, Pei Ziyun's eyes flashed, and a faint white aura fell on the spirit card, but in a blink of an eye, the strange phenomenon disappeared. After knocking, a small white plum appeared in front of Pei Ziyun's eyes, and it quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of view with a faint sense of light, and the task appeared.
"Task 2: Complete the exam for the scholar, please withdraw it!"
"It was to appease the family. In fact, the scholar had already won the exam and had to wait until this time to collect it." Pei Ziyun thought this way, and without taking it carefully, he directly collected it.
"Buzz!" I saw that the originally empty petals suddenly turned into substance on my forehead, but Pei Ziyun covered his forehead with his hands. After a few minutes, the petals of the plum blossom disappeared.
"Fortunately, this plum blossom can be hidden, otherwise it will attract attention." A stream of information came, and Pei Ziyun immediately understood it, and thought: "The first plum blossom petal can absorb literary thoughts without supernatural power, from virtual to real, that is, even the articles of juren and Jinshi can be absorbed."
"It turns out that I was originally Xuban, but I could only absorb the literary thoughts of the juren level. Fortunately, I couldn't find a better literary thought to absorb, so I didn't realize it."
"The following is to solve the problem of spiritual roots."
"As for the white qi just now, it should be either my luck, it should be my new luck as a scholar. I don't know if it will bring bad results if it consumes this way. However, I have inherited this body, not to mention consuming this, even if it is more, it is no big deal."
After bowing to the ancestors, when they came out, several women comforted him. One woman said, "Your son has become a scholar. This is a happy event. You should be happy."
Under the comfort of everyone, Pei Qian put away her tears and said with a smile: "Yes, I don't cry, I don't cry, I'm happy, I'm happy."
She patted her head and smiled: "Look at me, I forgot about it, come on, I've paid for the wedding!"
Everyone laughed. Pei Qian left the house to calm down, took the exchanged copper coins, and sent the wedding money one by one. The children all went up and smiled. Although it was only one or two yuan, it was auspicious money. Parents would cherish it when they got the children: "This is my husband's wedding money, maybe it's a blessing!"
It was so noisy that the villagers invited me and said that the table was ready.
"Captain Cao, everyone, please go together."
Captain Cao and a few archers went to patrol this remote place, but at this time he was a little unhappy, and he also smiled a little and followed him.
I saw people coming and going in the village, just like the New Year, Pei Ziyun was invited to sit in, and Pei Qian was also on the side. At this time, Pei Ziyun stood up and said, "Captain Cao and everyone should enter the seat."
The villagers couldn't help but wonder, and Pei Ziyun said loudly: "Today, I went to see the inspector and talked about the Black Wind Thieves. The inspector was furious and sent Captain Cao and his brothers to defend the village, establish patrol sites, and organize civil war. From then on, the village was taken care of by the government."
"In this way, how can you not invite him to the table?"
The village chief was pouring a glass of wine. When he heard this, his hand shook and the wine spread out. He woke up in a blink of an eye and said quickly: "Extremely, Extremely!"
