Chapter 573 Lian Hai asked furiously
Lian Fangzhou glanced at Lian Hai in surprise, and said, "What did you say, my cousin! I got the news yesterday that my cousin is studying hard, so how can I bother you! No, I just asked someone to invite him at the last minute." Cousin, I didn't delay my cousin at all!"

Speaking of asking people to invite Lian Hai at this time, Lian Fangzhou not only did not feel ashamed, on the contrary, he put on a look of thinking for Lian Hai, and almost made Lian Hai's nose crooked!

Ah Jian secretly smiled, and glanced at Lian Fangzhou.

"You! How could you do this!" Lian Hai was furious: "How could you be like this!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled and said, "What did I do wrong? Cousin! This is my family's business, and it has nothing to do with my cousin! The reason why I told my cousin is just to invite my cousin to come over. Just look at the excitement, and feel happy! After all, my cousin will take the provincial examination soon!"

"What did you say!" Lian Hai was taken aback, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he said, "You said it had nothing to do with me! You clearly promised me before, and I'm also responsible for this matter! How can you say nothing? Words! Fangzhou, don’t forget that I’m your cousin, and you can trust me too!”

Lian Fangzhou was about to answer, when he heard the sound of gongs and drums, "Imperial decree arrived—the idlers wait to avoid—" shouted louder and louder, and stopped talking quickly, stepped forward to stand with Lian Ze and others. Together.

Lian Hai glanced at her, but had to hold back the words in his heart for a while, and stepped forward as well.

But the more he thought about it, the more regretful and annoyed he became.

What I regret is why I believed Lianlian Fangzhou's words so easily at the beginning?You should have seen her write down her "contributions" on paper and send them to the county government or Taifu Ding together with her!

What is annoying is that this cousin has the hardest heart and the most merciless way of doing things. Since she said those words just now, it can be seen that seven out of ten of the credits were not given to herself!Why is she so stingy and vicious? It's just a matter of lip service, and she doesn't need to do anything more. Why isn't she willing to help herself by the way!

If you report yourself one more, there will be no loss to her!
But she just doesn't like it!
If it is said that she is stingy and selfish, no one would dare to recognize her as the number one if she takes second place!
A burst of loud firecrackers interrupted Lian Hai's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw that the magistrate had already got off the sedan chair, and was congratulating Lian Ze and the others with a smile.

All the surrounding audience chattered enviously, their eyes fell on several carriages covered with apricot yellow satin behind them and the things that were also covered with apricot yellow satin carried by the gentlemen were guessing.

Well, the obviously flat objects carried by the two leading men are probably the imperial plaque inscribed by the emperor himself!
Lian Hai's heart became even more angry when he heard this, and he gritted his teeth.

The magistrate of the county exchanged cordial greetings with the Lian family members and the elders of Lizheng Village, and after congratulating them, he smiled and ordered the Lian family members to prepare for the order.

As the master raised his hand and pressed everything down, all the voices stopped abruptly.

"Everyone in the Lian family is waiting, accept the order!"

Lian Fangzhou and others hurriedly knelt down in front of the incense table according to the pre-rehearsed order.

Lian Ze and Lian Che are the first ones.Followed by sisters Lian Fangzhou, Ah Jian, grandma Sangu, etc., and then the elders of Lizheng Village.The servants of Lian's family followed behind, while the folks watching the excitement knelt down on the spot, facing the direction of the imperial decree.

All the officers and deacons who followed also knelt down except for those who were holding the imperial gifts in their hands.

Curls of sandalwood rose from the incense burner, and the faint scent of sandalwood gradually diffused in the air. Everything was silent, and the scene was solemn and solemn for a while.

The county magistrate held the imperial decree in his hand, stood upright with his head held high and his chest held high, and read aloud in a calm and stable manner.

The imperial decree was written in four or six parallel prose, which was extremely neat and full of charm, and everyone thought it was very pleasant to listen to, although they didn't understand a few sentences.

When the county magistrate's voice sounded loudly, Lian Hai suddenly realized that he was so focused on being angry that he forgot to come forward!

Turning his head and looking around, he was actually kneeling among the onlookers!

He was secretly annoyed, so angry that he almost lost his breath!
At this time, everyone had already knelt down, even if he wanted to go forward, it was impossible, so he could only bow his head in resentment.

"Accept the decree!" The magistrate closed the decree with a smile, and everyone kowtowed, Lian Ze raised his hands above his head to receive the decree from the magistrate, and slowly got up.

Everyone also stood up, and there was another burst of lively congratulations, which was endless.

When she got up, Lian Fangzhou caught a glimpse of A Jian slightly lowered her head and eyes in a daze, so she nudged him lightly with her elbow, and said with a light smile, "What are you thinking about? Get up!"

Ah Jian came back to her senses, smiled at her, and stood up with her.

Fortunately, the scene was very lively, and no one noticed them.

Ah Jian frowned slightly, and sighed slightly in her heart.

Just when he knelt down to receive the order, the feeling seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it before.

But that memory is faintly visible, and it is always hard to see clearly through a layer of fog, which is really annoying!
He was lost in thought, when Lian Fangzhou interrupted him.

After the magistrate of the county announced the decree, he smiled and said: "The Lian family has made great contributions to the country and the people, and the contribution belongs to the country. This plaque of 'Liufang Family' can be regarded as worthy of its name! Mr. Lian, please come forward and uncover the yellow silk. Let all the neighbors see the demeanor of the emperor's inscription!"

Everyone laughed and applauded, and stretched their necks to wait and see.

Lian Ze cupped his hands and bowed slightly to answer the words of the county magistrate, and Fang stepped forward to carefully uncover the plaque, revealing the true face of the plaque.

But seeing the red sandalwood as the base and the vermilion wood as the frame, there are four big characters of "Liufang House" flying like dragons and phoenixes, leaping like dragons and tigers, which is actually extraordinary.

"Good! Good!" Everyone applauded and cheered, laughing loudly.

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "This is what the emperor wrote! I see what the emperor wrote!"

The sound is unparalleled.

Everyone "coaxed" and laughed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is the emperor's own handwriting!"

The magistrate of the county couldn't help but smile with his beard: the folk customs are simple and simple, the people respect the emperor so much, they are really like a king and a father!When I want to repeat the decree, I will add a strong stroke, and the emperor will definitely be delighted!

I don't know who took the lead, "Hula" all of a sudden everyone knelt down again, kowtowed to the plaque and said "Long live! Long live!" They bowed three times before getting up.

"Everyone be quiet!" Seeing that the crowd was almost excited, the magistrate raised his hand and yelled loudly. Seeing that everyone had calmed down and looked at him, he smiled and said, "Except for this plaque inscribed by the emperor himself, There are other rewards! A total of one house, two fertile farmlands totaling 5000 mu, one thousand taels of gold, [-] taels of silver, and one thousand pieces of colorful satin!"
