Baili Village
Baili Village is holding a running water banquet at the moment. Although Qin Fang is not there, the clan elder and the village chief know about such a glorious thing, so the running water banquet will naturally be held. Moreover, this running water banquet was also very rich, and Qin's mother who lost taels of money left behind to build a house. In addition to the 10 taels of filial piety money they brought back at the end of last year, the purse in Qin's mother's hand was also bulging.
"Mother Qin Fang, congratulations to all of you. Qin Fang was a clever child when he was young. At first glance, he was very promising. He didn't expect to become a general now."
"Isn't it? You have to watch the old age at the age of three. I used to think that Qin Fang was capable."
"The Qin family has changed its family, and it will be the official family in the future."
"It is said that the general Qin Fang is bigger than the county magistrate."
"Then will the county magistrate come today?"
"The Qin family didn't invite the county magistrate?"
After all, Qin Fang did not follow the path of martial arts, and the court where he was promoted would not make it public, nor would he pass the news back to his hometown, so what happened to the county magistrate? would know?
Moreover, the Qin family is not the kind of person who likes to publicize. Apart from the villagers, the Liushuixi seats are relatives of the Qin family.
But the county magistrate still knew, because the people who announced the imperial decree in the capital came.
The people of Baili Village are eating at the moment. Everyone is eating and chatting, and it is very lively. Just at this moment, a group of people came in, headed by the yamen. The yamen of the county government wears the clothes of the yamen, so they are very eye-catching. As soon as the yamen came in, the people inside were startled, and some people didn't even swallow the food in their mouths, so they watched in astonishment.
Someone began to whisper: "Why is the yamen here?"
"The Qin family won't do anything wrong, right?"
"Qin Fang is a general, an official even bigger than the county magistrate?"
"That must be Qin Fang's fault?"
"Who knows?"
The Qin family was also very uneasy. Everyone, look at me, I look at you. Finally, when Grandpa Qin stepped forward and was going to ask questions, he saw that the yamen stood still and did not speak, but someone came in at the gate of the yard. Those who come here are dressed in official uniforms, and at first glance they are officials.
"The county magistrate..." The village chief called out. Others don't know the county magistrate, but the village head does. The village head hurriedly came out of the crowd and walked to the county magistrate, "Caomin has seen the county magistrate."
When everyone heard the village chief say that this person was the county magistrate, and saw the village chief kneeling down again, they all stood up, ready to kneel down.
The county magistrate hurriedly said: "You don't need to be more polite, just listen to me first."
Suddenly, the people who were about to kneel stopped. The villagers would still listen to the words of the county magistrate.
The county magistrate looked around: "Is this the house of General Qin Fang Qin?"
When everyone heard this, they stepped aside and looked at the Qin family. However, from the question of the county magistrate, they also understood that Qin Fang did not seem to have committed a crime, and the county magistrate seemed to be here to celebrate?
Grandpa Qin walked up to the person and said respectfully, "Caomin is Qin Fang's grandfather, and he has met the county magistrate."
The county magistrate stepped forward and hurriedly supported him without letting him salute. The county magistrate followed and said: "Old man, don't be too polite. General Qin has done great work in the sect, and the emperor has sealed Mrs. Qin and Mrs. Qin's orders. Right now, the officials who publicize the imperial decree are waiting outside, and this official is going to invite people in. "
In the state of Qi, officials are officials, they are eunuchs, and eunuchs are also called eunuchs, so they have the titles of officials and officials.
Many ordinary people don't know the meaning of some imperial orders, but there are still quite a lot of ordinary people in Baili Village who know the meaning of imperial appointments. Because Baili Village has Tongsheng and scholars, when people chat, they also talk about scholars and officials.
Therefore, I know that if the son in the family is promising and becomes an official, he can ask for an official order for his mother.
However, appointments are rarely given to grandmothers.
Grandpa Qin also has some understanding of this aspect. After his grandson returned to the military camp last year, after knowing that his grandson had become a seventh-rank commander, Grandpa Qin often asked Tong Sheng about official affairs. Although Tong Sheng knew very little, he knew more than Grandpa Qin anyway.
"This..." Grandpa Qin was stupid, the eldest grandson fought for his grandmother and grandmother?
Or two? How big of an official is this? Grandpa Qin couldn't react, he looked at Huang Huzi.
Huang Huzi stepped forward and supported Grandpa Qin: "Don't worry, the general has indeed made a great contribution this time. Let's invite the officials in first."
Hearing that Huang Huzi said that the eldest grandson had indeed made a great contribution, Grandpa Qin breathed a sigh of relief, and he said to the county magistrate, "Thank you, the county magistrate, for letting me know that there are officials."
The county magistrate glanced at Huang Huzi and said to everyone: "The officials are here with the imperial decree, and everyone will give in."
Then a eunuch came in with the imperial decree: "The imperial decree is here, Qin Fang's biological mother, Qin Li, will take the decree."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."
What the eunuch read next, everyone couldn't understand, and neither did Qin's mother. The eunuch finished reading the canonization decree for Qin's mother, and then read the canonization decree for Qin's grandmother.
After reading it, he looked at them and said, "Two Ru people, please accept the order."
Qin's mother said in a panic: "The woman accepts the decree, thank the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
Seeing this, Grandma Qin also followed: "The woman accepts the decree, thank the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
When the servant saw this, he did not say that their etiquette was irregular. Knowing that they were women without knowledge, he would not be too picky. The servant gave them the imperial decree and said a few scenes: "General Qin has a bright future, and the two ladies will have better luck in the future. The family is here, so I will congratulate the Qin family in advance."
Grandma Qin hurriedly said: "You are so polite. Today... Today, our family is setting up a water table to celebrate A Fang's becoming a general. We are also grateful to the court for the importance of A Fang. You are a guest from afar. Please come to the table. "
The servant said: "Thank you Ruren, the emperor is still waiting for the family to reply, the person will not disturb."
Grandpa Qin hurriedly said: "The officials have been exhausted all the way. It's too outrageous for our family to not even invite a cup of tea. We also invited the officials to go into the inner hall and have a cup of tea before leaving."
The eunuch smiled: "Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Grandpa Qin brought the eunuch into the house, and Grandma Qin hurriedly poured a glass of sugar water. The eunuch picked up the sugar water and took a symbolic sip: "The tea has been drank, and tge person is really going to leave. If there is a fate in the future, it is impossible for us to meet in the capital."
Grandpa Qin hurriedly gave a purse: "Today there is a running water table at home. It's our rule here that guests must receive happy money and feel the joy of the family. I also ask the officials not to refuse."
Grandpa Qin's words are high-end, let alone eunuchs Will refuse, even if there is no good reason for refusal.
However, these are the words of the scene, and everyone knows it well. The eunuch took the purse and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Then we are leaving." As soon as he received the purse, who was used to reward money, he felt light inside, and knew that it must be a silver note. For those who would use bank notes, the amount would definitely not be small, so the eunuch was in a good mood.
The county magistrate watched the eunuch and Grandpa Qin come out together. Seeing the kind smile on the face of the eunuch, he thought that the benefits that Grandpa Qin gave him must be many.
The county magistrate stepped forward: "Official, Mr. Qin."
The eunuch nodded. When facing the county magistrate, he was a little arrogant. Although he is not very good in the palace, he can come to declare the imperial decree, and he is a bit of a backer, because everyone knows that the person who declares the imperial decree can get a lot of benefits, so if it doesn't matter, it is necessary. Less than this errand.
Besides, it is not easy for eunuchs who are difficult to leave the palace to be able to come out of the capital and walk outside.
Eunuch: "Let's go. Mr. Qin, our person is leaving. You stay here."
Grandpa Qin said, "The old man sent the officials and the county magistrate."
Therefore, the Qin family gave it away together. Not only the Qin family gave it, but even the people who ate the water table gave it away. Everyone was curious. The people in the imperial palace of the capital, they probably have seen this once in their lives. They are eunuchs, and they are also amazing people. At this time, who cares that they are eunuchs, not that kind of stuff?
The Qin family sent the servants and the county magistrate out of the village and said:Old
man stay, everyone stays." The eunuch was also really surprised. He didn't expect that the people of Baili Village were so enthusiastic, and they all came to see him. In his life, because Without that thing, he actually feel inferior in front of normal people. It's not just him, there is no eunuch who does not feel inferior in front of normal people, but today, let him be extraordinarily happy.
When the county magistrate saw the eunuch's attitude again, he thought that Qin Fang must have developed very well, otherwise the officials who passed the edict would not have such an attitude.
Who doesn't know that people from this palace are the best at reading dishes? As a result, the county magistrate's attitude became more gentle: "Master, I want to accompany the officials to take a step first, so I won't stay. I asked the master to stay and talk to a few people about his appointment."
Grandpa Qin said gratefully, "Thank you sir."
After watching the eunuch and the county magistrate leave, Grandpa Qin invited the master to eat running water at home. The master naturally knew that the county magistrate kept him for a good relationship with the Qin family. Although the county magistrate is a local parental official and a local snake, how can he compare with someone like Qin Fang who has shown his face in front of the emperor? If the emperor could seal the Qin family's two orders in a row, the county magistrate felt that Qin Fang must have done something remarkable. Therefore, the county magistrate is very willing to befriend Qin Fang and the Qin family.
Today, the Qin family's running water table is not just a running water table. Before the county magistrate came, everyone didn't have much awareness that the Qin family was different, but now, after the county magistrate left, everyone knew it thoroughly. Home is truly different.
The water table was still very lively, everyone ate the table and stayed to help.
