What appeared in front of Feng Hushu was an ordinary young man, ordinary and even a little honest.●⌒,
But when he saw this honest-looking young man with an ordinary appearance, Feng Hushu's eyes were so wide open that he almost burst out of his eyes. No sound came out of his throat, as if someone had strangled his neck and he could no longer say a word.
You...why are you back? No, no...didn't you say you were buried under the sea? This, this...what on earth is going on?
Although the wind was bright and the sun was shining, Feng Hushu felt that the air around him seemed to be freezing cold. He subconsciously shrank his neck back, and his body was shivering like a cramp.
"Really? Why didn't I know when the imperial court issued the policy?" The young man looked at Feng Hushu and touched his head with a very honest smile.
"Zhu, Zhu... Master Zhu, Chi Sheng has met Master Zhu."
Although the young man had a simple and honest smile, Feng Hushu seemed to have lost all his muscles and bones all of a sudden. No matter how big the mud was, he knelt on the ground with a pop, and then beads of cold sweat the size of soybeans broke out from his forehead.
In ancient times, schools in prefectures, prefectures, and counties were not called schools, but "itches". Students were called "庠生", which was another name for students in prefectures, prefectures, and counties during the imperial examinations in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
.
Feng Hushu calls himself Chisheng, which is a customary name for Ming Dynasty scholars. He recognizes this young man. He once saw this young man in Huaining County, and he recognized him at a glance as the pride of the entire Huaining County.
, the youngest number one scholar since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ping'an, the sixth-ranked Imperial Academy member who was the cradle of the prime minister.
Feng Hushu was so regretful at this moment that he wanted to hit the wall. If he had known that Zhu Ping'an was safe and sound, he would not have done anything for a hundred taels of silver, let alone twenty taels of silver. Even if someone put a knife to his neck, he would not do it.
I wouldn't do what I did today. I am a household secretary who is not even a low-ranking official. Even if I eat the courage of a bear's heart and leopard's courage, I dare not provoke such a young sixth-grade official. He is already a sixth-grade official at such a young age.
It will be fine in the future. Don't say that Zhu Ping'an offended Yan Song or anyone else. Even if he offended, what could he do? As long as a person is alive, he is still an official even if he is demoted. He is not even an official.
Called Liupin Anren village woman?!
Let a sixth-grade official pay taxes?!
Just thinking about any one of them, Feng Hushu couldn't help but break out in cold sweat, and his whole body was shaking like chaff. Kneeling on the ground, he felt as if he was kneeling on thin ice, trembling with fear.
On the contrary to Feng Hushu who was trembling and walking on thin ice, it was the people of Xiahe Village. At this time, the ground in Xiahe Village was quiet for a second, and then suddenly started to boil, like cold water splashed in a frying pan. They greeted each other with joy.
and exclamations kept coming and going.
"Ping'an Lang, it's Ping'an Lang."
"Ping An Lang, Ping An Lang is back."
"Master Xiao Zhu, it's really Master Xiao Zhu."
"I just said that Ping An and Lang Fu are lucky, and everything will be fine."
"If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed later. When Ping'an Lang comes back this time, he will definitely be rich and powerful in the future."
The villagers were overjoyed. They were looking forward to Zhu Ping'an's return without incident. With Zhu Ping'an here, they would be able to enjoy more benefits. Now in the entire Huaining County, the people in Xiahe Village who don't look down on them, the government's taxes
The police officers have given preferential treatment to the entire Xiahe Village. Even young people in the village have found it much easier to marry. When many people from other villages heard that young people from Xiahe Village came to propose marriage, they all nodded with honor and asked for less dowry.
a lot of.
Of course, the happiest person is Zhu Pingan’s family, especially Zhu Pingan’s mother, Mrs. Chen.
"彘儿"
After seeing Zhu Pingan, mother Chen covered her eyes in disbelief with her trembling hands. Tears of joy burst out from between her fingers. After a while, she slowly removed her hands.
, moved very slowly, looking at Zhu Pingan happily through the fingers, fearing that Zhu Pingan would disappear if he moved too fast, and excitedly called Zhu Pingan's nickname.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Juan'er, was supporting Chen because she was so excited. Chen was so excited that she could hardly stand still.
"Mom, I'm back." Zhu Ping'an walked up to his mother Chen, with a fawning smile on his honest face, and greeted Chen in a coquettish tone.
As for Feng Hushu who is kneeling at his feet, he has long been forgotten by everyone and has gone to Java. If you like to kneel, just kneel. But don't block the way.
People rushed over excitedly to say hello or say hello to Zhu Pingan or just take a look. Feng Hushu, who was kneeling not far away from Zhu Pingan's feet, was crying without tears at this moment. He had no love for his life. Feng Hushu had lost count.
How many times have my hands or legs been stepped on by these mud-legged bumpkins, not to mention my clothes? My clothes are all covered with footprints. Some people simply did it on purpose. Just now these villagers saw me and acted like rats.
It's like seeing a cat, who dares to look at me, who is not cautious and timid, but now that Zhu Ping'an is back, these villagers are so brave.
"彘儿"
Mother Chen opened her eyes wide and looked at the fawning Zhu Pingan in front of her. Her eyes were full of excitement, love and tenderness. She called out "Xiao'er" again and stretched out her trembling hands, covering Zhu Pingan's face.
I rubbed it up and down, convinced that my pig was back, my eyes were full of excited tears, pig, my pig is back, God has given me my pig back.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." Father Zhu, who was standing next to Chen, kept saying this over and over again, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his bronze face.
"Why have you lost weight again?" Mother Chen touched Zhu Ping'an's face for a while and said distressedly.
"My son wants what his mother wants." Zhu Ping'an giggled.
"You're just talking nonsense, you're used to coaxing me." Mrs. Chen burst into tears and laughed. She stretched out her finger angrily and tapped Zhu Ping'an's forehead lightly. She said something strange, but her heart felt tight and she felt better all of a sudden.
"Where is Dachuan?" When Mrs. Chen saw her younger son, she couldn't help but think of her eldest son who went to sea with his in-laws to find someone.
"Mom, I'm here."
Zhu Pingchuan's voice came from behind Chen.
Mrs. Chen turned around and saw Zhu Pingchuan with a silly smile on his face, standing next to his eldest daughter-in-law Juan'er. He was holding colorful shells, conches and other things he picked up from the seaside, and was trying to please his wife.
"I really forgot my mother after marrying my daughter-in-law." Upon seeing this, my mother, Mrs. Chen, couldn't help but joked with a smile on her face.
"I brought it to my mother too." Zhu Pingchuan rubbed his hands and smiled sheepishly.
"Mom, I will be filial to you with Dachuan." Juan'er, the eldest daughter-in-law, blushed in embarrassment, took Mrs. Chen's hand and begged her for mercy. (To be continued.)
