This day is destined to be an eventful day. After Mrs. Chen made breakfast, the whole family sat at the dinner table and before they had even eaten two bites, someone else from the Zhu family came in.~,
Zhu Ping'an's grandfather walked in first, carrying a pipe and pot, followed by several village elders in the village, and finally Uncle Muramasa. Well, there was another one behind him, it was uncle Zhu Shouren who had not been out for several days.
"Dad, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang." Zhu's father quickly put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house to greet them.
"Grandpa, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang and Uncle Wang"
Zhu Ping'an followed closely behind, followed Zhu's father into the yard, and said hello to his grandfather and others who came in.
"Well, good, it will be good if the pig comes back." Grandfather was quite satisfied, and then looked at the village elders and village leaders behind him, with a proud look on his face, "This is the good horse of my Zhu family."
The village elder and the village leader and others had compliments on their faces, but they were a little disapproving in their hearts. It was not like this when the Shouyi family was separated. The village elder, the village leader and others had tried to persuade him, but his grandfather did not listen.
Insisting on keeping the reputation of the eldest son, he ruthlessly separated the Shouyi family. Now he is said to be a good horse, but what happened at the beginning?
After my grandfather finished speaking, his uncle Zhu Shouren's face turned red all of a sudden. At first, the good horse and the like were all mentioned to him, but as an uncle, he has been taking the exam for ten or twenty years, and he has not even passed the exam to become a scholar.
Well, my nephew only took the exam for half a year, and he even passed the exam!
This envy, jealousy and hatred.
It’s true, it’s true that if my nephew is admitted to the Juren Examination, then I will be admitted to the Scholar Examination or something like that. Wouldn’t it be wrong?
Uncle Zhu Shouren felt pain and happiness in his heart. I have to say that thick-skinned people have more joy!
"Dad, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, and Muramasa, please come in and have some more."
Mother Chen stood at the door and enthusiastically asked Muramasa and others to come inside and eat some more. She turned a blind eye to Zhu Shouren behind her and rolled her eyes.
"Xu'er has really made a name for our Zhu family this time. When you went with your uncle to take the junior college entrance exam, your uncle knew that Xu'er would have great potential this time. Unexpectedly, I was lucky enough to take my fancy. I will set a date for you in the future."
You have a bright future, don't forget about uncle in the future."
Uncle Zhu Shouren was personable and without blushing or out of breath, he took all the credit for Zhu Ping'an's admission to the Juren Examination. He also asked Zhu Ping'an to take good care of him in the future!
When Chen heard this, she almost ran away on the spot.
I borrowed a loan shark shamelessly and shamelessly, and then let my man take the blame after the incident, which caused my man to have his leg almost broken for no reason. He is still a student. He is far from the best. Now that the truth comes out, it is not too shameful.
I begged my father with runny noses and tears, which caused my family to be separated into a shabby thatched hut without wind and rain protection. I don’t know how my family survived at first. Even the fourth family was
She knows how to take care of herself, but as the culprit, she doesn't even let go of anything! Even when she went to take the boy's exam, she borrowed money from her man without telling her, and she hasn't paid it back yet!
Now Xie'er has passed the exam. He shamelessly took the credit and asked Xie'er to take care of him! He really has the ability to pass the exam on his own!
Mrs. Chen has no good impression of Zhu Shouren!
"No, it's from Shouyi's family. We've all eaten. We're here this time because we have something to discuss with you."
An elderly village elder, leaning on a cane, shook his head, coughed a few times and mentioned his intention. Then he motioned to Muramasa who was following him to speak.
"It's like this. Ping'an Lang passed the Juren exam. This is the honor of our whole village. We also checked the county records and made a total in private. This is also the practice handed down from our ancestors, so we thought of establishing it in the center of our village.
This monument, on the one hand, is a reward for the safety of our family, and on the other hand, it is also an inspiration to the younger generations in our village."
Muramasa took a step forward and briefly stated his intention.
Father Zhu thought for a moment and before he could speak, mother Chen's eyes lit up. This was a good thing. What else was she thinking about? She stepped forward and pinched Father Zhu's back hard without leaving any trace.
"Ah, okay."
Zhu's father, who knew his wife Mo Ruofu, couldn't understand what Chen meant. He was so painful that he couldn't help but scream for a while and then said "Okay".
My mother, Mrs. Chen, was very satisfied with this, and she was in high spirits and beaming with joy.
Chen himself has the potential to show off, which he developed through a series of collisions with his eldest aunt and his fourth aunt in his old house. After he passed the imperial examination, he was worried about how to let more people know about it. Now he is fine.
, if you set up a monument, it would be very beautiful.
The more my mother, Mrs. Chen, thought about it, the more cheerful she became.
Both parents agreed, and Zhu Ping'an would naturally not object. It would be good to erect a monument to encourage the younger generations in the village to study. Whether in ancient times or modern times, reading is necessary. If a monument is erected, Xiahe Village will become a village with a focus on reading.
The fashion of honor is also a rare wealth for Xiahe Village.
"Ping'an Lang is honoring his ancestors this time. This time he will also set up a flagpole stone in front of your Zhu family ancestral hall to show his fame and condolences to his ancestors. From now on, villagers will go to your Zhu family ancestral hall to offer incense during every year and festival."
Bow down."
After Muramasa said the first thing, he said another thing.
This time it was Zhu Ping'an's grandfather who was the first to make the decision. When Muramasa and the village elders went to the old house to talk about this early in the morning, his grandfather was extremely excited. Now that he heard that Muramasa has officially settled the matter, grandfather
He was very excited. This was something to honor his ancestors, the Zhu family. When he thought of this, his grandfather felt very energetic. In the next hundred years, he would be able to meet his ancestors with dignity.
Zhu Ping'an knew about the flagpole stone and had consulted relevant information in modern times. In the feudal imperial examination era, whenever someone passed the Jinshi examination, the tribesmen would set up a flagpole stone and flagpole for him in front of the ancestral hall or ancestral house in the village.
A flag is hung on the clip, and the name of the successful candidate, the ranking of the successful candidate, etc. are written on the flag to show the merit and honor of the ancestor. The flagpole stone is the base of the successful candidate's flag, and information about the successful candidate will also be engraved on it.
Erecting flagpole stones and monuments are both famous, and the Zhu family naturally enthusiastically and enthusiastically supported them.
The Zhu family here agreed, but the village elders over there said that the monument had been selected and all that was needed was to engrave the words, as well as the flagpole stone.
It seems that the stone tablet has been prepared a long time ago, and we are just waiting for Zhu Pingan to come back and give Zhu Pingan a message. This is too positive.
In fact, there are practical reasons why the village elders and village leaders attach so much importance to Zhu Ping'an's success in the election. In a feudal society, it is a big deal for a village to be elected. In addition to reputation, various welfare policies in the county will be tilted towards the village in the future, and taxes will be tilted towards the village.
The corvee will be taken care of more. In addition, other villages will look up to this village, and it will be much easier for the young people in the village to find wives. (To be continued...)
