Nongmen Space: I pampered the first assistant villain

Chapter 244 The Difference Between Cloud and Mud
"Lu Jieyuan, congratulations!!!"

"Yeah, this is the first time I participated in the provincial examination and won the first place, and my achievements in the future will be limitless!"

"That's right, when the old man saw him, he was nothing in the pond. Look, he is really extraordinary, right? Come, come, the house has already prepared wine and food, but I'm just waiting for you, my nephew."

"Hey, that can't be done. How can this banquet go to your house? My nephew came from Lingzhou Mansion. He must be exhausted. The old man has already prepared a guest room at home. Why don't you take a bath and rest first? The old man is a general. The most famous Golden Peony in Zhoucheng has been invited back, how about letting her accompany the wine to cheer up my nephew?"

A group of respectable old men in the town were standing in front of the carriage at this moment, exchanging hands and greetings with enthusiasm and even obsequiousness.

In the past, they were also enthusiastic about Lu Jingyuan, but most of them stayed at the level of being polite and friendly. Compared with this time, it is not the same.

certainly--

No wonder their attitudes changed so quickly.

There is a huge gap between this scholar and Juren, who is still the top name Xie Yuan.

Scholars in the Daqian Dynasty, once they won the exam, they would have a family background, and they could be officials even if they didn't take the Jinshi exam.

Its status is so high that ordinary people can't reach it.

What's more, Lu Jingyuan actually won the first place in the exam, Jie Yuan?
That must be to go to Beijing to catch the exam. If you pass the Jinshi exam, you will be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister in the future, but the starting point is too high.

If you can only start from the lowest nine ranks, such as academic officials such as Jiaoyu, or second-rank officials such as county magistrates and Zhu Bo, if you are lucky and catch up with the big picks from the official department, you can still He was released as a seventh-rank magistrate.

But many people are only promoted to the sixth rank when they grow old.

But it is not the case for the Jinshi of the two rankings, the minimum is also the beginning of the seven ranks, that is a world of difference.

How can they let go of this high branch that they have finally climbed?
It can be said that they have run out of tricks, and they are about to fight.

"Everyone, thank you for your kindness, and I am sorry that I can't follow my orders."

Lu Jingyuan cupped his hands solemnly and said: "The elders in the family are still waiting to return home, and I really dare not delay any longer. Yuan is grateful for your kindness. I will visit you another day, another day."

Everyone was unwilling, but they couldn't resist Lu Jingyuan's reluctance to go there, so it was useless to say the least.

What's worse is that everyone dare not force him.

Everyone has a little understanding of Lu Jingyuan's temperament.

Why did everyone treat him politely before, but failed to get close to him?
It has something to do with this guy's cold temper and inhumanity.

In the end, everyone had to give in.

Even though he was reluctant, he gave way with a happy face, and brazenly insisted on coming to the house to congratulate him.

The bustling scene here was full of stars and the moon, which happened to be seen by the Lu family who rushed over.

Seeing Lu Jingyuan standing out from the crowd in the middle of the crowd, Mrs. Lu rushed forward recklessly, but she never expected to be hugged tightly by her own son.

Not only that, but he also covered her mouth so that she could not make any sound.

He could only watch helplessly as Lu Jingyuan got into the carriage, and then left under the escort of the crowd until he disappeared from their sight.

Snapped--

Mrs. Lu trembled with anger, "You bastard, what are you dragging my old woman for?"

"mother?"

The son of Lu's family covered his face, and said with a little hysteria, "I won't stop you, so why don't you rush over to recognize your relatives?"

"What's the matter with recognizing relatives? He—"

"Recognize relatives, recognize relatives, you want to recognize relatives, but don't forget, their second wife has been adopted out, Lu Jingyuan is not from our family, and I will never say that I am the grandson of Lu's parents—"

"So what? He has always kept the blood of my second son. No matter when, he is my grandson."

"you--"

Seeing that his mother was so stubborn and disregarded, and didn't think about their family at all, Boss Lu was instantly furious.

"Mother, self-knowledge is the most important thing in a person. You want to recognize him, but you don't think about whether he wants to recognize you. If you rush over like this, and he doesn't recognize you, how will it end?"

"Don't you tell everyone that we have already broken up with him? At that time, how will you and Erlang deal with each other?"

People in the world are used to stepping on the high and flattering the low. When facing Lu Jingyuan, even the Zhou family would shy away, let alone their family?
In the past, Lu Jingyuan didn't feel that way.

No matter where he went, he was treated preferentially. Everyone flattered and flattered him. He originally thought it was because of his talent and his bearing, but since they moved to the town.

She even got married with Zhou's family, which should have been improved to a higher level.

But this is not the case.

He bumped into walls everywhere, and the people who followed behind him nodding and bowing didn't even open their eyes to him.

Later, he slowly found out.

It turned out that all the preferential treatment I had in the past stemmed from this cold-tempered, silent nephew.

It's not because of how talented and tolerant I am.

Just because he is Lu Jingyuan's uncle.

That's all -

Unfortunately, it was too late to wake up.

And his son, Lu Erlang, also looked blank.

Looking at those gentlemen who have tried their best to get approval, their nodding and bowing postures in front of Lu Jingyuan are very similar to their own appearance.

At this moment, he suddenly realized.

I finally realized that the gap between him and Lu Jingyuan was the distance between heaven and earth.

The difference between clouds and mud.

Therefore, the whole person was thoroughly hit.

Of course, Lu Jingyuan was completely unaware of these.

Even if you know it, you don't care much.

At this moment, Lu Jingyuan was relieved to finally get rid of those country gentry.

"It's been a few months since I left home. I didn't expect such a big change."

Looking at the hard-working people on both sides of the road, he couldn't help sighing: "This road is well built, not only wider, but also much flatter than before, so it is very convenient to travel out of the village. The lady has a gully in her chest and has a long-term vision. , it’s really not comparable to ordinary people.”

"Oh? Thanks to Mr. Lu's praise, but it's not as powerful as your famous Jieyuan."

After speaking, he took out the abacus and began to pull it up.

"Speaking of which, in order to build this road, I tried my best and tried my best. Who made me poor? But you are different——"

"Let me do the math. On this journey, not to mention the cost of food and drink, it's the best choice. Let's just talk about the journey. Zhang Yuanwai is five taels, Lu Yuanwai is five taels, Liu Dahu is ten taels, Qiu—"

Before the calculation was finished, Lu Jingyuan grabbed her hand and said with a smile, "What are you doing?"

"Of course you have to forget it. Do you think this money is all for nothing? In the future, it may be evidence of your favoritism and fraud."

Lu Jingyuan:?

"I haven't been an official yet, why do you think I'm a corrupt official?"

Hearing this, Xia Xiaoqiao slowly raised her head to look at him.

"Do honest officials collect money like this?"

Lu Jingyuan smiled helplessly, "It's not called accumulating money, it's etiquette, which corrupt official you've met just collected a few taels of silver?"

Xia Xiaoqiao curled her lips, put away her abacus, flicked her sleeves and said, "That's right."

"But it's really good to be an official. You see, wherever you go, you can eat and drink, and there are people offering beauties, such as gold peonies, silver peonies—"

"I heard that this Peony girl is the number one waist in Lingzhou. She has a charming dancing posture and is even more charming and provocative. Are you really willing to do it? Do you really plan to stay for a taste?"

Lu Jingyuan's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he said with a smile: "You know a lot."

"how?"

"Unhappy?"

Xia Xiaoqiao felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, and even swept her arms after hearing this, "Hey, who is upset? I am not?"

"Don't forget, our six-month period is approaching, and we will part ways after you have written and left the book. You, what about love, what's the matter with Miss Guanben?"

"I just feel that it's a pity that I can't see such a good dancer and such a beautiful lady. If I go to the Hualou in Lingzhou City, I will earn a lot of money."
