Traveling through the Prosperous Pastoral of Peasant Girls

Chapter 66

At this moment, intensive knocking sounds of "dong dong dong" came from the gate, and the sound became louder and louder, and some sounds were obviously not made by hand.The gate is usually locked, and there is not even a person who guards the gate.Don't talk about the gate, because it's getting late, and even this side gate will be closed.

"Third Uncle, did they come here together?" Jin Yang thought that this shouldn't be the case, their two grandmas were not good at dealing with each other in the past, and when they met, they would swear at each other.

"Yeah, they are all officials now, so it's fine..."

Seeing that the third uncle wanted to continue talking, Liu Tao said: "Third uncle, it's very cold, come in with Liu Gang and unload the car and go to the house to warm up and have a meal. Let's talk about the rest later."

They entered the yard and unloaded the animals. It was getting late, and the goods on the cart had to be counted tomorrow.Erhu also came back from the store in the city at this time, came to help unload the truck, Huang Ying went and told Aunt Huang and Wu'er to prepare more dinner.Regarding the knocking sound at the gate, Erhu wanted to go and have a look, but they stopped him and told him, "Brother Erhu, don't worry about it." They also called Lao Huang.

"Uncle Huang, those people from my hometown are here. It doesn't seem to be a big deal not to let them in. If they want to come in, let them go to the wrong door. Remember, they are not allowed to wander around in important places in the yard. It is best It's the door in the front yard that won't let them in..."

Lao Huang got a headache when he heard "those people are coming" from his hometown, and hurriedly agreed. Just now, after he heard the unreasonable knock on the door, a bad image of Grandma Liutao flashed in his mind, "Hi "Unexpectedly, it was really them.

A quarter of an hour passed. Uncle San and Liu Gang were drinking tea, eating popcorn and rice cakes, and listening to the commotion outside. Liu Taojinyang and their parents talked and laughed with them as if nothing happened, and didn't even mention it. to the people outside the gate.Only Jin Yang's father, although angry at Grandma Jin Yang's behavior in the past, still couldn't bear it, but after seeing his son's face, he gave up.

Later, Liu Gang couldn't hold back anymore: "Second uncle (Liu Tao's father), my grandparents are still outside, they are high-ranking officials, even the village chief and county magistrate dare not provoke them, why don't you take them in?" Come in?"

"Nephew, what kind of officials are they? It's just a false name."

At this time, someone came in angrily, and it was Jin Yang's older brother, Jin Sha. Ignoring him, he asked his mother: "Mom, my grandma and Liu Tao's grandparents are both high officials appointed by the imperial court. Why don't you open the gate to welcome them?"

Although Jin Sha is a educated person, he has only stayed in Fucheng for half a year and has never been to a big place. He doesn't know how big his grandma's official position is. The word "Jun" means "king of the world", except for the royal family, she seems to be the biggest. In fact, that's how he really explained it to his grandma.

"Hmph, the crown prince didn't even ask to come in through the gate. Your grandma is so fart. Just now your brother and Liu Tao waited at the side door for a long time. What did they do? Tell them, it's time to close the door at night, and if you don't come in, you will be knocked down." , go wherever you want!"

Jin Sha was taken aback by his mother's words, and said to himself, "the crown prince and the princess don't need to open the gate, let alone grandma." After seeing the disdainful eyes of Jin Yang and Liu Tao, Turned around and went out.He was still muttering all the way: "Really, can they know the crown prince and the princess, and the crown prince and the princess still come here to visit? But this is what my own mother said, and it doesn't sound like bragging."

Half a quarter of an hour later, with the sound of "tap, tap" footsteps, a group of people came in from the side door. The first one was Jin Yang's grandmother being supported by a young woman, followed by Liu Tao's grandparents , followed by Jin Sha with a puzzled face, followed by Liu Guangjun who was snorting.

This line came from a distance, which opened everyone's eyes. Seeing that Jin Yang's grandma was full of white hair, she actually wore a crown decorated with glass and pearl white jade, and there were patches and phlegm stains on her clothes. That cane wrapped in rags, it doesn't match that tiara.Looking at the woman supporting her, isn't that the former enemy of Liu Tao and Jin Yang~ Liu Jiaojiao, the eldest cousin of Aunt Liu Tao's family?

Grandma Liutao in the back also wore a tiara, but it was as undecorated as a broken basket head. Grandpa was even more exaggerated, walking squarely and swaying every step of the way, holding a wooden Ruyi in his hand.

Grandma Jin Yang immediately asked: "You guys are so brave, you dare not open the door to welcome the high officials of the court, how many heads do you have?"

Grandma Liutao echoed: "Do you still have the imperial court in your eyes, do you still have old people? Look at the smooth and slippery clothes you all wear, and see what your parents are like. Besides, what are you all like?" Things, are we all high officials?"

Liu Tao took a step forward: "What kind of high-ranking officials are you all? How big are the officials? You have all contributed so much to the Daqian Kingdom, or do you have any special skills? Why did the Dazhang Kingdom appoint you officials? "

"us……."

"..."

Jin Yang asked unceremoniously: "Grandma, how big is your official position, how big is your territory, tens of thousands of people?"

The silence was over, the two grandmas and a group of people were dumbfounded. Since the officials sent the rewards, they haven't seriously thought about the reason. This is also related to Jin Yangliu Tao's reluctance to show off, and also has something to do with the lack of information in the capital and countryside .Besides, the third uncle and Mr. Xu, who are insiders, have not come these days, and no one has brought timely information to their backcountry to go to the capital, so the people in their hometown don't know about their going to the border together.The matter of these old family members being rewarded was disclosed to them by the eldest prince not long ago. On the surface, they thanked the eldest prince a few words, but in their hearts they blamed the royal family for being troublesome.

Since they moved to King Gan's Mansion in the capital, Grandma Liu Tao had 20 taels of silver from her father, and she bought horses and carriages, so she soon sold the 20 taels of silver from her second son to Liu Tao's second uncle. The five liang of silver in the pond was spent, and life soon fell to the level where I couldn't eat the meat buns that I had to eat every time I went to the market.

Jin Yang's grandma lived a relatively leisurely life, because her eldest son was taking care of the elderly, so she was worried about her grandson, Jinsha. Since Jinsha went whoring and gambling, the family guarded him like a thief. Don't let him see the money, the uncle's house doesn't even let him in.Gambling addiction can be tolerated without money, and sad without women, but in the countryside where ethics are emphasized, he still dare not mess around in the village.

Once, I suddenly saw my cousin who was taken home, and I started thinking about her beautiful cousin.Grandma saw that he had learned a lot these days, so she thought about telling him about a marriage, but such a notorious grandson couldn't find a good girl.After Jinsha's reminder, grandma tried to ask someone to go to the aunt's house to propose marriage, but she didn't think about mentioning the aunt's family and agreed.

It turned out that since Liu Jiaojiao was divorced and returned home, she did nothing. Her parents could only take care of her like an aunt. A woman who was abandoned by her husband's family and was spanked by the county magistrate.After a long time, it aroused the disgust of the eldest aunt and his wife. Seeing that Jinsha's family came to propose marriage, they agreed immediately.

The eldest cousin was still reluctant at first, but she couldn't stand the brainwashing of her parents: "If you have any disagreements, you can be the master of the house after entering the door. It's much better than a family with more brothers and sisters. You don't need to serve your parents..."

"That's right. I heard that Jinsha has learned well now. His younger brother is so rich. If his younger brother supports his elder brother in business, you will become a noble lady in no time..."

The eldest cousin also knew that these things were possible, and her arms couldn't twist her thighs, so she had to be wronged and married.But she knew Jinsha's bad behavior in the past and would not let him see the money. Jinsha also knew what the new daughter-in-law was thinking, so she tried her best to behave better.Over time, it really gave people the illusion of respecting each other as guests and a beautiful marriage.

One day in mid-September, officials from the brigade suddenly came to Goudong Village and found two families. When everyone was watching and didn't know what was going on, the officials announced the rewards. The grandparents were the protectors of Yuanwailang and Yuanwai's wife, and bestowed crowns and Ruyi, which are said to be carved from agarwood wood.The fly in the ointment is that a copper plate was not given.

The officials also thought the same as the royal family, thinking that the elders of Jinyang Liutao were also rich and wealthy families. Today, they looked like two ordinary farmers, and they were wearing patched clothes. Not only were they disappointed.Seeing that the two families didn't have any money to reward, they left without staying any longer.

The two families were so happy that they were going crazy, everyone in the village came to congratulate them, and even the county magistrate came the next day. Confused, he slapped himself silently several times in a pretentious manner.This time, Grandma Liu Tao earned enough face and wiped away the shame of being spanked.

Later, everyone discussed the reason for the imperial court's award. Because the two families got the honor together, they classified it to Jinsha and the eldest cousin. They all said that they were blessed. The family brought good luck, coupled with the good deeds of the ancestors, this was the blessing of heaven.Jin Sha had read books and knew that things would not be that simple, so he guessed that the matter was related to Jin Yang and Liu Tao, but people wanted to say that, so he didn't refute it.
