Ling Yun took a breath, suppressed his smile, and put on a rather indifferent expression again.
I saw him straightening his clothes a little, and said seriously, "No, no, I didn't laugh at you. I was just like Jinwen, and suddenly thought of something happy, and I couldn't hold it back."
After saying this, Ling Yun and Zhang Jinwen looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.
I was holding my stomach, akimbo, laughing so hard that tears were about to fall.
When the fat man heard this, he couldn't figure out why the two of them were laughing anymore. He could only see his mouth bulging and deflating, as if he was trying his best to endure the anger.
Seeing that he was about to reach the limit of his rage, what he didn't expect was that he finally suppressed him.
The fat man suppressed his anger as if nothing had happened. He was so angry that he labeled Ling Yun and the two in his heart.
The content is: On a certain day in a certain year, Ling Yun and Zhang Jinwen made fun of the fat man for no reason, not me.
Ling Yun looked at the fat man in astonishment, thinking that he didn't lose his temper today, which was really unexpected!
I couldn't help but murmured: Is it because I'm embarrassed to get angry in front of the fifth baby?
Just when Ling Yun lost consciousness, his uncle Yang Hua's voice sounded outside the door, "Good nephew, come out quickly."
Hearing the urgent voice, Ling Yun quickly walked out of the door and asked, "Uncle, what happened?"
The uncle said slowly, "Someone is coming from the neighboring village. The elders in the village have asked you to come out and entertain them."
Ling Yun was extremely shocked. He couldn't understand why the neighboring villages came to join in the banquet held by the village.
Furthermore, no one told him in advance that there was still something to do.
Now that things have come to this, even if Ling Yun is extremely depressed, he can only bite the bullet and go ahead.
Ling Yun turned around and explained the reason to the fat man and the two, and expressed his apology for not being able to accompany them for the time being. He thought that he would just let them stay in his room.
Who would have thought that when Fatty heard that Ling Yun was going out to greet the guests, he was eager to try it out and shouted that he wanted to go too.
Ling Yun couldn't control him, so he had to agree to his request.
So there was this scene before us, Ling Yun was standing on the left side of Xiaopoxia intersection, and Fatty and Zhang Jinwen were standing on the right.
Li Dan, the old man in the village, stood in front and right of Ling Yun. This position was very particular.
The two fat men cannot stand together with Ling Yun, lest they overshadow him.
Li Dan in front cannot stand directly in front of Ling Yun to avoid blocking his limelight.
This is the first time Ling Yun has heard of this cover and block.
I couldn't help but curse in my heart, this feudal custom is really cumbersome, a simple reception, there are so many fallacies.
If one day he goes to high school and buys a living seat again, wouldn't it be more complicated?
As for the reception method, it is nothing more than Li Dan in front calling the name of the visitor.
When that person passes by Lingyun, he should bow and salute to show his welcome.
For example, Li Dan will be in the front right and shout loudly to the visitor: "Chen Er from Xiajiang Village is coming with gifts, three small bags, two bags of rice, three pieces of cloth, etc."
Faced with this method, Ling Yun felt like crying without tears...
It wasn't until Li Chuan came to him and explained the reason to him that he suddenly realized it.
It turned out that villages within a few miles were shocked when they heard that a ten-year-old scholar had emerged from Guangping Village.
Many people wanted to visit her, but they were unable to find a way to do so, and at the same time they didn't dare to visit her rashly.
I had no choice but to ask the elders in Guangping Village, so the village chief approached Li Chuan and asked if he could hold a banquet for Ling Yun.
They have full authority to take care of it, as long as Ling Yun nods.
As his tutor, Li Chuan would give him three points of noodles no matter where he was.
But he didn't expect the process to be so complicated, and he couldn't help but regret it.
But Li Chuan told Ling Yun that the benefits of hosting a banquet were not only beneficial to their Guangping Village, but also beneficial to him.
Regarding this, Ling Yun looked at him with confusion, hoping that he could clear up his doubts.
Li Chuan then started to talk about it, saying that a village with a radius of several miles had produced a scholar from Lingyun in so many years, and he was still a scholar at the age of ten.
Such a young man is undoubtedly the most promising high school scholar in the future. Moreover, even if he cannot go to high school, as long as he can pass the college examination, they will definitely ask for him.
At that time, if you wait until he wins the imperial examination and try to curry favor with him, it may be too late. You might as well take advantage of the fact that he is still a scholar and send him some small gifts on the pretext of having a banquet to build a good relationship.
If he is lucky enough to pass the provincial examination in the future, they will certainly come to ask for his blessing, and Ling Yun will fulfill his promise.
What is a commitment?
Accepting the gift is equivalent to the promise made by Ling Yun himself.
Because there is no need to say this kind of thing, everyone knows it.
Besides, everyone who came today has been registered with the village chief, so all they have to do is check against the roster.
As for what they value is nothing more than Ling Yun's potential, one day they can name their fields under Ling Yun's name.
This kind of behind-the-scenes operation that cannot be put on the table is everywhere in the Daqian Dynasty.
Because of this, they don't need to pay taxes.
Of course, they will also give him 10% or 1.5% tax on the property that is in Ling Yun's name.
It's just that compared to the taxes of the three levels of the Daqian Dynasty, they have their own measure of whether this tax is light or heavy.
This is a long-term investment, and it is also a eccentric investment method.
If Ling Yun fails to pass the Juren exam in this life, then all their efforts will be in vain.
This is Li Chuan's consideration for Ling Yun. He knows the difficulties the Ling family is facing now, and even if he wants to help, he can't do anything.
Especially regarding the second baby, when he received the news, it was already too late.
Even if he took out five taels of silver at that time, it would not help.
After all, the Ling family has already signed the pledge, and his money is not enough to redeem the person.
So when Li Chuan knew that Ling Yun had been selected as a scholar, he had been thinking about the cost of Ling Yun's continued scientific examination.
It happened that the village chief came to him at this time and told him the whole story. The two hit it off immediately, and this was the scene where Li Chuan led everyone to look for Ling Yun.
Ling Yun burst into tears of gratitude as Li Chuan explained the causes and consequences of his arrival, thinking that although Li Chuan was his elementary school teacher, he had taken great care of him and even the Ling family.
When he was not at home, something happened to the Ling family. He was the first person in Guangping Village to stand up and help the Ling family, followed by Old Uncle Zhou.
Old Uncle Zhou can still understand. According to his point of view, it is nothing more than a person who cannot forget his roots.
Uncle Zhou has received a lot of care from the Ling family over the years. Now that the Ling family is in trouble, it is natural and reasonable for him to lend a helping hand.
However, Li Chuan did not owe anything, but was kind to him. In the end, he still did not hesitate to help the Ling family.
When Ling Yun heard the news, he was filled with emotion: He is truly lucky to have such a master!
This greeting went back and forth for half an hour, and Ling Yun was exhausted.
Looking at the fat man again, he is no longer as lively and energetic as he was at the beginning. At this time, he is listless and lethargic.
Even Zhang Jinwen on the side was in this state.
Just when he thought the welcome was about to end, suddenly the sound of gongs and drums was heard in the distance. Everyone was shocked and looked towards the origin of the sound.
From far to near, a carriage slowly entered everyone's field of vision. It didn't stop in an orderly manner until it arrived in front of Li Dan.
The boy ran to Li Dan and shouted loudly, "Zhang Debao, the magistrate of Lingshan County, came to congratulate Lingyun, a candidate from Lingshan County, and wish him a brilliant success in the college examination, win the crown, and win the first case..."
