Chapter 697 This is a big happy event
"Master Sun!"
"No gifts, no gifts..."
Master Sun smiled and nodded, got off the carriage, and greeted Li Zheng and others warmly, "Sun is here today just to join in the fun and feel happy. You don't have to be formal, just receive your heroes!"
Seeing that Mr. Sun looked very kind, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, it was easier to deal with him this way.
Everyone's attention turned to Liao Qing. Liao Qing also got out of the car and walked in front of everyone, greeting Lao Xu's family one by one.
"Okay! Great!"
Mr. Xu Zhang's old face was full of smiles, and there was a trace of regret. It was a pity that the old man was unconscious. If he could see this scene, he would be so happy.
Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing looked at each other. There were too many people. They just exchanged simple greetings and were drowned out by the crowd.
There were already forty or fifty people watching, and everyone came forward to congratulate them with smiles on their faces. Liao Qing was overwhelmed.
But Xu Lizheng helped him out.
"Okay, okay! Everyone, please step aside, Mr. Sun still has something to say!"
Everyone quickly stopped talking.
Mr. Sun coughed and said loudly: "Everyone! In this year's college examination, Liao Qing High School is the county leader, that is, the first scholar! This is a great happy event, the glory of the old Xu family, and the Xu family village.
The honor of Qingshui Town is also the glory of Qingshui Town! The county magistrate admired his talent and gave him thirty taels of silver, two robes, and two square scarves! This town should also be rewarded, and gave him ten taels of silver! In addition, every year, Linsheng
I have silver rice to offer, and I will send it to you today!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and ordered the servant to bring the things up.
The first thing delivered was an indigo long box. The officer faced Liao Qing and opened it. Xu Jiaojiao was looking at it. They were five neatly numbered small ingots, each with a round belly.
, it looks very auspicious, and two small spindles are added.
This should be... fifty-two taels of silver? Xu Jiaojiao guessed.
The onlookers stretched their heads and looked into the box. When they saw the silvery white under the sun, especially the five ingots, they all exclaimed.
This kind of ingot-like silver is official silver. It is very substantial and is indeed rare in the countryside.
Fifty-two taels of silver is also impressive enough. You must know that the annual income of the old Xu family was less than twenty-two taels of silver!
Liao Qing took all the silver patterns and handed them to Xu Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao was holding the heavy box, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart. The husband she had found seemed to be getting a job as an official! An iron rice bowl!
The second one presented was two sets of clothes and student uniforms.
Then all the servants began to carry bags from the carriage, one bag at a time, to Lao Xu's house. Later, several strong laborers from Lao Xu's family also helped to carry the bags.
Looking at the people walking back and forth, Xu Li was as curious as the people around him, "Master Sun, these are..."
"These are just the rice." Mr. Sun said with a smile, "This is the food that the villagers should get for a year, totaling 360 liters."
The villagers also heard it clearly and were amazed again. All these things and all the rewards opened their eyes, and some of them even had red eyes.
There is a saying that "wealth should not be revealed in vain", but Mr. Sun didn't care.
What the government gives as a gift is official silver, which is marked, and the distribution of every ingot of official silver is recorded.
If you don't open your eyes and steal this rare official silver to spend it, people will suspect you. Where did you get the official silver? If you don't know clearly, others will not dare to accept it for fear of being sued.
Yes, you have to be qualified to spend money, that's the truth.
After the things were moved, Mr. Sun took out a plaque from the car. The guards on the left and right tore off the protective cover. Xu Jiaojiao took a look and saw that the plaque had a dark red wooden base and four big words on it: Shazhou Case Head!
Mr. Sun: "I can't come up with anything good, so I will make a plaque and give it to Mr. Liao. I hope you won't dislike it!"
Liao Qing hurriedly handed over his hand: "Your Majesty, you are very kind. Thank you, student!" Regardless of whether the thing is good or bad, it is a personal gift from Mr. Sun, and you must accept this favor.
"Hang up, hang up!"
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the plaque was quickly hung on the lintel. The four characters on the gilded Shazhou case shone in the sun, making it particularly dazzling.
Everyone stared at it. This kind of thing was rare in Xujiacun. Strictly speaking, it had never happened before.
"Alas... alas..."
An old man stared at the plaque and sighed.
"Old man Liao, what do you mean, this plaque is not good?" Xujiacunzheng was very dissatisfied when he saw it, "Or do you have an opinion about Mr. Sun sending the plaque?"
"Uh, no, no, no, this plaque is very good. It's so good that I don't dare to have any objections." Liaojia Village was quickly denying, "I was thinking, this plaque should have been hung in my Liaojia Village.
…”
"Bullshit!" Xu Lizheng was not polite to him at all. Someone had already reported him, and the old guy was preparing to cut off the bullshit on the way, "In your Liaojia Village, let alone the head of the case, there are no children! Old man
Guy, don’t you think you’re old and thick-skinned, and you’re not afraid of people seeing you if you blush?”
"You..." Liao Lizheng was very angry, but had nothing to say in reply. He just said: "Old guy, be polite. You are much younger than me. You don't have a thin face, right?"
"Whether it's thin or not, I still want it. Unlike you, I don't want it at all, hum!"
"snort!"
The two of them kept their voices very low. Mr. Sun was right in front and did not dare to talk loudly, let alone affect everyone's mood.
Xu Jiaojiao looked at the plaque and had some thoughts in her mind.
Fortunately, this was posted in the second courtyard. If it were posted on the front door, wouldn't it be seen by everyone coming and going on the road? She is not the kind of person to show off. If she really wanted to be like that, she would think it was just a piece of cake.
It's a boast. But it's good now. You can't see this plaque unless you enter the courtyard.
After doing this, at Xu Lizheng's suggestion, everyone brought the sacrifices and went to the Xu Family Ancestral Temple.
The Xu Family Ancestral Temple was renovated last time with Xu Jiaojiao's money. It looks brand new, clean and bright.
"It's really impressive. The Xu family should be very prosperous!"
Master Sun nodded and praised.
Hearing Master Sun's words, each of the Xu family members became happier than the other. It was a pity that Xu Zhang and Xu Youde could not hear this, otherwise, no one would be happier than him.
"Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Sun!"
Xu Lizheng was naturally also happy. He asked people to open the door, put out the sacrifices, and asked Master Sun to help him write a notice.
Mr. Sun did not refuse, took the pen, thought for a moment, dipped it in ink, and wrote a few words: On October 16, the 45th year of Daxiang, the case of Liao Qing, the 26th son-in-law of the Xu family, was committed in high school.
!
After writing, Xu Lizheng took it with his own hands, brushed it with paste, and pasted it on the pillar. There was still a piece of red paper on the pillar that read "The 26th Daughter of the 26th Generation Xu Jiaojiao and Liao Qing" that was posted last time. Now it has been torn off.
Chapter completed!
