I rewrote family history

Chapter 12 Adults (Please follow up, please recommend tickets)
"The county's honor goes out, and the idlers avoid it!"

shouted the loud yamen servant.

Under the hot sun, in front of Confucian Temple Street, a crowd of pedestrians panicked, like a group of chickens and ducks being driven, scurrying around, hiding under the eaves of the shops facing the street, or running to another street for a while.The people who couldn't escape shrank their legs and knelt on the ground.

The movement was so fast that dust was splashed.

The same is true for Xu Er's stunned son. He put a half-new shoulder schoolbag under his ribs, knelt on the ground, trembling.

It looks like a prisoner waiting to be slaughtered in the vegetable market!
In case of Lingchi.

Yamen servants with the official titles of "avoid" and "quiet" came over, and rows of black forged boots passed before his eyes.The cloth shoes of several civilian husbands carrying sedan chairs were also mixed in.

Followed by a team of neatly stepped military boots.

In front of the Confucius Temple, a group of people stopped.

"Hey, Master Confucius." The county official stepped on the bearer's shoulders and got off the sedan chair. He glanced at the dismounting stone next to the Lingxing Gate of the Confucian Temple, shook his head, and said with a little emotion.

The dismounting stone is engraved with "Civil and military officials dismount here."

He looked at the untouchables kneeling on the ground on the left and right, lifted the hem of his official uniform, lifted his cloud shoes, and lifted them to the steps in front of the Confucius Temple.Suddenly, he frowned, waved his hand, and called a middle-aged man dressed as a teacher who was following him, "That's a student, don't kneel, let him go."

Officials wear black forged boots, and officials wear cloud shoes.

The county magistrate saw Xu Er, who was wearing a long gown.

The long gown is a scholar.

Before the imperial examination was abolished, only those with meritorious titles above the level of a student were not worshiped when they saw an official.But now there is no imperial examination.A few years ago, the imperial court made a note, and in the 1902 "Imperial School Regulations", it stipulated that graduates of higher primary schools, middle schools, normal schools, higher schools, and colleges should be given the titles of Fusheng, Gongsheng, Juren, and Jinshi respectively.Although this provision was promulgated, it has not been implemented.

But the students in long gowns have also become one of the scholars.

Kneel, the people have to kneel.

Gentlemen...don't kneel!
"Master Chen, why should you be so cautious, he is just a student, if he kneels, he will kneel, and he can still speak his mind."

The master approached and talked in a low voice.

"Oh! The students in the south are making a scene of violence."

Mr. Chen glanced at the master, his eyes were cold, and that was all he said.

If troubles break out in Xinye County, Nanyang Prefecture, the students will be the first to bear the brunt, and he will be the first to bear the brunt.

Right now, if you offend anyone, you can't offend the students.

Xu Er remained in a kneeling position, not daring to raise his head.Xu San'er, or his ancestors, had told him that when he saw an official, he had to kneel and be respectful, otherwise he would be punished and even beheaded.

That so-and-so, because he refused to kneel before seeing an official, had his legs removed and became disabled.

The black forged boots approached him.

Xu Er was stupefied a little bit.

He recalled that every movement he made was very smooth.The deliberately honed kneeling posture can make him appear as docile as a lamb, and his trembling body will make the adults even more satisfied.

This is the experience passed down from generation to generation.

What's wrong?

Xu Er stunned.

After all, he is a countryman, and it is inevitable to make mistakes for a while.

He glanced anxiously at the fox fairy, and found that the fox fairy had also hid in his arms.

Fox fairies are also afraid of officials.

Yes, ghosts and gods are afraid of officials, let alone people.

Even the elders in the countryside said that they were not afraid of He Bo, but the county magistrate who ransacked his home and Ling Yinli who killed his family.

A burly yamen servant walked up to him, pinched his shoulders, and pulled him up, "You student, the gang of untouchables kneel and kneel, why don't you join in the fun, go back to school."

Although his tone was rough, there was a strange kind of gentleness.

Xu Er was at a loss for what to do. He glanced at the long gown on his body in a daze, and suddenly felt that he was a little different from the people kneeling nearby.Yes, he wore a long jersey, and those guys were bunt jerseys.

The panic in his eyes turned into calm.

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Er was stupefied and bowed to thank him, and left Confucius Temple Street.

On the street of the Confucian Temple, under the Jinshi Memorial Archway, next to the panel where the crane is auspicious and the golden carp transforms into a dragon, he turned his head and saw the county venerable climbing the white stone steps of the Confucian Temple.The county venerable is wearing a civil official's uniform, but has never worn an official hat, and his withered hair hangs down behind his head...  

His angle of view turned downward again, and it was the common people kneeling on the ground.

……

"Grandpa, I just now know why Kong Yiji must wear a long gown. A worn-out long gown that has been washed white." Xu Qing recalled the text she had learned deep in her memory, and she was deeply touched at this time, "With That gown, he doesn't have to kneel down to the county magistrate like you, great-grandfather."

Everyone in the tavern laughed at Kong Yiji because they were used to kneeling.

I don't know what kind of world a person who stands up straight sees.One knelt down, and the other looked up. After looking up, it was difficult to kneel down.

She's glad she's here.

One is for filial piety.The second is to hear such an "interesting" story.

"Yeah, after looking up, I feel that everything is different." Xu Cong looked at the ground from the tall building again with cloudy eyes, "Afterwards, after I learned knowledge, I realized that the 鸂鶒丝子 on the chest of the county lord is A kind of water bird, which represents auspiciousness, and the implication is that being an official should benefit one party."

"Isn't it ironic?"

Xu Cong smiled. This is the first time he criticized something in his memory. He is also a person who has experienced the new era. He didn't dare to look at it at the first glance, but dared to open his eyes to look at it at the second glance, "I The first thing I did when I left Hongwen Hall was to go home in the dark and tell my father the good news that I was valued by my husband."

"I remember when I got home, my father took me to see the master and borrowed five qian."

……

Nanyang Prefecture, Xinye County.

After Xu Er Lengzi left the county, he folded his gown and put it in his schoolbag.The gown is very precious, the only one he has.His hem was stained with dust, and he regretted it very much.

He is very familiar with the road from the county seat to Xujiapuzi.

He was left at the lecturer's apartment in the east corner of the school for a little longer.There was a lot of delay.By the time he walked halfway, it was already dark.

This night, the moonlight was a little dimmer.

He is not as bold as Xu San'er, who dared to go home in the dark.Fortunately, there is a fairy fox.The fox fairy leads the way, and it emits a clear light, and he follows.

One person and one fox returned home.

"Mister values ​​you..."

Xu San'er's face was both happy and sad.

Xu Er was a bit stunned to regret telling his father the good news.

From his father's face, he saw the exact same expression as the night when he was admitted to school last time....There is desolation and joy in the sorrow, he doesn't know how to make this look, a dark face, full of wrinkles, shouldn't have so many expressions.

"See Master..."

Xu San'er opened the door and walked out, his back bent a little more.

It was the night that bent the shoulders.
