The heavens from Bailuyuan

Chapter 88
The half-day banquet is full of wine and meat.

This floating banquet in Bailu Village is going to be held for three days. No matter which village it is from, it doesn’t matter if it’s from a foreign country. If you say happy, you can sit down and eat a delicious meal, which will make you feel full.

This is also due to the fact that Bailu Village has become a lot richer in the past six months.

Gourd chicken shops are blooming all over Qin Province, so the clan has a lot of spare money, and at most a few pigs will be used for this banquet, and some chicken, duck and fish meat are also available at home, and it doesn’t cost much, and the cooks are also from the village , They are used to making this kind of water mat.

Even in the setting sun, there was still a lot of noise during the banquet.

"Dad, let's go to Xujiayuan."

Bai Gui led the horse and said.

Xujiayuan is not far from Bailu Village, it is located in Nanyuan of Bailuyuan, and the round-trip distance by horseback is at most two quarters of an hour.I can also come back in the dark.

Now is the busy summer season, which is different from winter.

Even at night, it is very bright, the moonlight shines, the sky is white, and people can still see people harvesting wheat in the dark.

Bai Youde patted the dust on the silk clothes, "Okay, you should thank Mr. Xu, you wouldn't be here today without Mr. Xu, this gift has been prepared for you."

In his words and conversations, there is a big difference from the long-term workers in the past.

Calm and confident.

Bai Gui nodded. He actually came back from the provincial capital with some gifts, but not many, and they were all expensive things.This time to thank my teacher, I have to make a big bag and a small bag.

Large and small bags, this is for outsiders to see.

No matter how expensive and small the things you give, sooner or later someone will spread rumors that he doesn't value the teacher's kindness.Hugh looked at the final exam, but if the lin students were not virtuous, they would be expelled.

Bai Youde prepared a lot of gifts, such as freshly slaughtered live chickens and ducks, preserved bacon for the New Year, and some more precious literati items such as ink ingots, which shows the intention of the preparations.

That's right, after he passed the imperial examination, his reputation as a scholar was already a certainty, so it was understandable to prepare earlier.

There are too many gifts prepared, and he can't take them down.Besides, there are some roads in Xujiayuan, so an uncle from the same village rode with him.

Before the sun set, he and his uncle arrived at Xujiayuan.

Xujiayuan is similar to Bailu Village, with khaki courtyard walls, and a few families lit candles.Xu Xiucai's home is also easy to find. If you look at the rows of houses, you can see which one is built with green bricks.

The wooden door painted with tung oil was a little mottled, and the copper ring of the animal head was missing a piece.

There was a banging on the door.

"Who?"

A woman's voice came, listening to the voice, a little young.After opening the door, I saw the true face.

About 20 years old, handsome, but because of housework and premature marriage, she looks like 40 years old, curly hair, blue wide sleeves with embroidered flowers, loose pants, and small feet.

Bai Gui took a look, then lowered his head, guessing that it should be Xu Xiucai's inner room.Xu Xiucai was a scholar in his early years, but he never married. Later, he failed in many trials, so his marriage was wasted and his wife was married too late.

Look at the complexion, fair, small-footed woman, this is a well-matched wealthy family in the countryside.

It's not a grievance, at least the fame of a scholar is still very valuable, and marrying a wife and a matchmaker will also break the threshold.

"Master, my name is Bai Gui from Bailu Village. This time, I won the first place in the examination and won three yuan in a row. Come to thank my teacher!"

He spoke in official language and also pointed out his identity.

It's better to reveal your identity early, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of praising the high and stepping down the low, disliking the poor and loving the rich.Almost everyone is the master of watching people order food, it's just that they are light and heavy.

The beginning of dressing is to distinguish one's identity.

"The head of the case? Sanyuan?" Xu Liu's expression was startled for a while, then he blinked quickly and looked at the young man in front of him. Although the clothes were not particularly luxurious, it could be seen that he was not an ordinary family, and he was full of bearing. It's also extraordinary, unlike the villagers, she immediately believed it [-]% in her heart, no one would make such a joke.

In addition, there is such a thing as being a teacher in Bailu Village.

Xu Liushi laughed, "Go and sit in the room, I will invite your husband right away."

The door was opened wide, and she saw two horses under the steps and gifts on the horses at a glance. The pile was full of unknown amount. Although most of them were wrapped in oiled paper, they were probably worth a lot, at least More than a dozen taels of silver as the base.

However, Mrs. Xu Liu has also seen some things in the world, so she won't immediately embrace her.

Enter the house.

The Xu family has two courtyards, a little more down-and-out than the Bai and Lu families in Bailu Village. Some household items have not been repaired for many years, but the inside and outside of the house are not bad for eating and drinking.

The old man of the Xu family came quickly, full of energy, let Bai Gui take a seat, and chatted with him for a while.

During the period, Mrs. Xu Liu brought several dishes of stir-fried vegetables, including meat and vegetables.

"It's his blessing that he can teach you as a student." Mr. Xu smoked a dry cigarette, smashing his mouth, blowing out smoke rings, with a smile on his face.

"The old man is being polite. This is all the hard work of the husband."

Bai Gui replied.

At this time, Bai Gui knew that Xu Xiucai hadn't told his family members about the results of his previous two exams. He guessed that Xu Xiucai had some conflicts with his family members. The income is higher than that of ordinary people, but it is inevitable that I can't help feeling that way.

Soon, Xu Xiucai hurried back.

"Students have met their mentors."

Bai Gui lifted up his robe, knelt down on the ground and kowtowed regardless of whether the ground was clean.

If Xu Xiucai hadn't made a small start along the way, no matter how amazing his talent was, he would not have successfully completed his goal at this time.If a person is powerful, all he accepts is kindness.But the kindness at the beginning is often the most precious.

Xu Xiucai had a smile on his face, and Bai Gui worshiped him when he saw him, which really gave him enough face.

"Good good!"

"Get up quickly, the ground is cold, be careful of moisture."

he hurriedly said.

Bai Gui didn't get up, but still knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xu Xiucai again: "The student is nearly sixteen now, and will go to the East in a few days, but he hasn't been crowned yet, and he hasn't taken his name yet. Come today, please give me your favor, sir." Character."

Originally, he planned to ask Mr. Zhu or General Zhang to take the characters for him.

Characters are also usually obtained from close to the elders.

After taking the word, there will be a little more intimacy invisibly.

But he thought of Xu Xiucai, one cannot forget some things for the sake of self-interest, do something but not do something, his mentor is Xu Xiucai, this cannot be changed.

"Okay..." Xu Xiucai was not only happy at the moment, but also faintly teary. He wiped it away gently, no one could see this scene.As Bai Guixiao Sanyuan, there are too many people he can find if he wants to get characters, but being able to find him has another meaning.

　Thank you General Weihou Shenweitian for the reward of 1500 starting coins.
