My diary of transcendence from the heavens

Chapter 21 21. As always, don’t forget your original intention
Zhao Xuanqi returned to the village.

"Zhao Xuanqi is back. Zhao Xuanqi passed the scholar examination, and he is the first!"

"Twin doors number one!"

Every household beat gongs and drums, and the villagers in Zhaojia Village were very lively. One by one, they rushed out to congratulate Zhao Xuanqi.

The lady at the entrance of the village stretched out her hand to touch Zhao Xuanqi's head and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, he is really a literary star!"

Everyone celebrated Zhao Xuanqi's achievement, and the villagers' faces were filled with joy.

People wanted to get close to Zhao Xuanqi, but they were a little afraid.

After all, the person in front of them is now Mr. Wenquxing, and he is no longer the "weed" they were. Scholars have a distinguished status. How can they, ordinary people working in the fields, dare to treat scholars casually?
The village chief had a kind expression on his face. He wanted to touch Zhao Xuanqi, but he didn't seem to dare. He could only say awkwardly: "You have not let everyone down. I must set up a flowing water mat for you today!"

Other villagers also agreed very much.

The banquet was held in front of the ancestral hall. The villagers either killed chickens or ducks, or went directly to the pond to catch a few fish, or went to the fields to pull vegetable seedlings, which was a rare feast.

At the wine table, Zhao Xuanqi tried his best to talk to the villagers next to him. However, these villagers looked embarrassed and wanted to say something, but they seemed to be afraid to speak.

Even if Zhao Xuanqi deliberately communicated with the village chief, the village chief would actually have a reserved look on his face, speak cautiously, and always take care of Zhao Xuanqi's emotions, as if he was afraid of offending Zhao Xuanqi.

Uncle Zhao, who was strong and strong, couldn't help but lower his head when talking to Zhao Xuanqi. He obviously felt that his status was lowered and felt ashamed, so he spoke very politely.

The noble status of the scholars is in sharp contrast to the poor villagers working in the fields.

Zhao Xuanqi could treat these villagers as he always did, but these villagers knew they were humble and had to be polite when answering, which made Zhao Xuanqi feel a sense of alienation.

Then he suddenly realized.

The village is still the same village, poor and poor.

And I am no longer the poor me, I am already a scholar with great fame.

In the future, these villagers may continue to work in the fields and live a peaceful and difficult life in the past.

In the future, I am destined to live a cultured life, study and become an examiner, become a wealthy family, gain a distinguished status, and be respected by everyone.

The two sides are like two parallel lines that do not intersect with each other. There is a natural difference. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. They will never be able to return to the original place.

Even though Zhao Xuanqi tried his best, he did not look down on these villagers at all. He wanted to do his best to save the relationship and maintain the original relationship.

However, because of their status and future gap, these villagers could not treat Zhao Xuanqi normally. Instead, they regarded him as a big shot and someone who could not afford to offend. They treated him respectfully, with a hint of compliment in their tone. .

The labels of "Wenquxing", "Scholar" and "He will be a high official in the future" gave Zhao Xuanqi the status of a master, and also made him inevitably stand on the opposite side of the villagers.

This is like Runtu and Laoye.

The difference is that he is the master, and these villagers have become Runtu.

at the banquet.

Zhao Xuanqi looked embarrassed and said nothing more.

But after the banquet, he was alone and silent for a long time.

the next day,
He took off his long robe, which symbolized a noble scholar.

Then barefooted from house to house went to help.

Help the village head lady chop wood.

Help the village chief's family farm and open fields...or help the carpenter move things and make some utensils.

Or else it would be to fetch water and cook for the blind fourth uncle.

He took the initiative to do all kinds of chores in every household, just like a year ago, returning to the "weed" he once was.

One day, two days, three days.

For a whole week, Zhao Xuanqi was busy in every household, taking the initiative to help each household with work, still enthusiastic and generous.

His attitude shocked all the villagers.

At first, the villagers did not dare to let him work, and they did not even dare to talk to Zhao Xuanqi for fear of offending him.

Later, he could brag and joke with the villagers while working.

The restraint on both sides disappeared, and there was no longer any barrier.

He used his actions to tell everyone that he was still the weed he once was, not some noble Wenquxing.

Wenquxing and weeds do not conflict.

His noble behavior of being a humble scholar not only did not make everyone think that he was easy to bully, nor did it make everyone think that he was humble, but he was even more respected by everyone.

Now, when the villagers talk about Zhao Xuanqi, their faces will be full of pride, cordiality and enthusiasm, and their words will be full of respect, but the sense of unfamiliarity has disappeared, and there is no such barrier anymore.

The villagers' name for him became "Weed" again. Everyone knew that Weed had not changed. Even if he went to school or became an official, he would still be the child they had watched grow up.

Innocent heart, as always.

Don’t forget your original intention, there is a beginning and an end.

On this day, Zhao Xuanqi will return to the county seat.

He stayed in the village for seven days, mainly to get closer to each other.

Otherwise, according to his plan, staying in the village for a day or two is the limit. After all, although he is a scholar, he is only a scholar after all. He still needs to continue studying hard to prepare for the next imperial examination!
If you don't make progress in reading, you will fall back. How can you not work hard?

The villagers did not try to retain Zhao Xuanqi. They knew that studying was not easy, so they could only stand at the entrance of the village from door to door to see him off and silently pray for Zhao Xuanqi.

Zhao Xuanqi left the village and walked towards the county seat.

Even if he walked far away, as soon as he turned around, he could still see the figures of the villagers at the head of the village, like stone pillars, standing there for a long time to see them off.

"This kind of feeling is what I should pursue." Zhao Xuanqi's warmth came to mind, and he was extremely satisfied.

These villagers were very kind to him. He grew up eating the food of hundreds of families, and every villager in each household could be regarded as his elder.

They even raised all the funds to send themselves to school, giving themselves the opportunity to change their destiny. This kind of kindness will be difficult to repay in a lifetime.

He didn't want his relationship with the villagers to get further and further apart, and he didn't want to become alienated from these elders, so he lowered himself to become a weed, continued to help everyone work, and brought each other closer to each other.

He is very satisfied with this relationship now.

When he becomes an official in the future and has the ability and energy, he will find ways to change the lives of the villagers!
Yes, Zhao Xuanqi felt that he would definitely become an official.

Isn't it just a win?Isn't he a Jinshi?
He clasped his hands and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

The road to study is long and difficult, but I will definitely make this path a great road to heaven.

After all, a scholar is just a scholar. No matter how noble his identity is among common people, he is still just an ordinary citizen. Passing the imperial examination is the first step to becoming an official!
