The Little First Grand Secretary in My House

Xue Qingshan's face was a little ugly, and at the same time his heart was a little surprised.

His nephew never spoke a lot, he couldn't play a fart with three sticks, he just calculated the two small temperaments of the second room before he would act like this.

But in the end, he lived longer than Xue Tingyan, and he naturally will not forget to do superficial effort.

He sighed: "The kid is spoiled by his mother, and it is also my discipline to be an uncle. Uncle is here to accompany you."

Xue Tingyan shunned away and said, "Uncle, don't say that, Ting'er is a junior and can't stand it."

"Ting'er? I didn't expect you to give yourself a name." Xue Qingshan laughed, but also wanted to point out that Xue Tingyan's name is not correct.

The general name is given by the elders, not by the juniors to pick one at random. If it is an ordinary villager, Xue Tingyan is a reader. The reader should understand rituals and rituals, but the book is also white. Read.

Xue Tingyan was so thorough in his heart that he understood what Uncle meant. He laughed and said, "When Dad was still alive, he asked Grandpa and Uncle to help me get a name, and Uncle could only support him with a cheap name. The child is also fourteen, how can he always use the name of the milk, so he randomly picked one. "

As soon as this remark came out, Xue Qingshan's face was a little ugly. Xue Tingyan obviously said that he, an uncle, was unwilling to give it a name and deliberately belittled it. After all, I ’ve learned it, but I should n’t have no name,

He smiled reluctantly and explained: "Uncle, this is not to see that you have a bad bones. I want to name you after you are an adult. You can't understand this bitterness. If you don't take one for you now?"

With that, he did n’t wait for Xue Tingyan ’s permission, and he made a melancholy look with a long sigh, saying, “You are weak when you are young, and your father hopes that you will have more blessings and longevity when you are alive. ? "

The acquisition of this name is really arbitrary. I'm sorry for Xue Qingshan, the only child's name in Yuqing Village.

Xue Tingyan hesitated for a while before refusing: "Uncle still can't do it. Ting'er's name has been fixed. Before going to the grave, he told his father and mother that there was no gift to change it."

This remark also made it clear why he went to the graveyard year after year. From Xue Tingyan, he saw that Xue Qingshan had invited so many people, and after such a scene, he knew that the other party must have a plan.

Regardless of what he plans to do, he just blocks the road that the other party might use to make a fuss, and he remains and waits for the change.

Sure enough, the patriarch Xue's complexion eased a little.

Before, he always thought that the child of Erfang was deliberately doing this, just to compete with Juncai for the opportunity to go to Qinghe Academy. I came here to see this young man who was gentle and polite, neither humble nor overbearing. Although Patriarch Xue had no merit, he was also a few words to recognize. He had also been a patriarch for many years, and his vision was not bad.

He was very surprised, because the child, Gouzi, hadn't seen him before, but he was not impressed by it. The only impression he had was an unremarkable teenager. Now it seems that this child has grown unexpectedly.

But unexpectedly, Patriarch Xue did not forget what he was doing on this trip.

Just one side of goodwill is not enough to shake his decision. Juncai ’s child had been tested by others, and he learned more than his two grandchildren. If he was to say who would be the next child in Yuqing Village, Xue Patriarch felt that Xue Juncai was the most likely.

Maybe it's not just children, but talents.

With two future talented seedlings and a teenager who doesn't know the depth, the patriarch Xue naturally knows how to do this multiple-choice question.

However, the idea of ​​going to the side was dispelled. If Xue Qingshan could not handle even a child, it was not worth his attention.

How could Xue Qingshan fail to see the thoughts of Chief Xue. In his eyes, the old immortal is a master who does not see rabbits or eagles. He receives the benefits he brings to the family, but he never knows to give him some good.

If any clan has an ethnology, no one or two will be subsidized. On the contrary, he worked all day long. Every time a family in the clan came to pick up some food at random, the clan leader called him over and asked him to accept it.

To be generous with the generosity of others, to pay for the surnames of others, is unforgiving to others, and it is meaningless to ourselves!

Xue Qingshan sneered in his heart, but made a pleading on the face, and invited Xue Li, Zheng Lizheng, and all the others into the house.

Patriarch Xue and Zheng Li were sitting cross-legged on the kang, one left and one right, and the others were sitting on the stools below. Yang and Zhou were busy pouring tea outside, and even Xue Taoer was asked to call Master Xue to hurry home.

Patriarch Xue and Zheng Lizheng both had the habit of smoking dry cigarettes. They sat down and took out the dry cigarette bags.

Xue Qingshan took a bag of tobacco leaves from his mother Zhao's hand, and smoked the two while saying, "This is my father's own plant. It's usually a treasure. Tumble and Uncle Li taste it."

"Your father's shredded tobacco is good, but there are too few." After lighting, Zheng Lizheng took a deep breath and said with a smile.

Xue Qingshan replied: "If Uncle Li likes it, I'll pretend to be with you later when you leave, so don't let it go."

These are all polite words, everyone knows each other, Zheng Lizheng nodded with a smile, and went straight to the theme: "Shanzi, invite us a few old guys here, what are you going to do?"

Looking at Zheng Lizheng's smiling face, Xue Qingshan scolded the old fox in his heart.

Things will happen like this. This surnamed Zheng has nothing to do in it. He is unbelievable. But this is exactly what happened today, and he even invited Zheng Lizheng. After all, he is the Lizheng of Yuqing Village and his surname is Zheng, so as not to be said to be sheltered.

Including several villagers present today, Xue Qingshan was thinking about asking, there are those with the surname Zheng, and some with the surname Xue. There are also two families with mixed surnames in the village, but they are all well-connected in the village.

"One thing needs a few elders to decide, or wait for my dad, he is in the ground, and he will return immediately."

He was talking about Grandpa Xue, and the others came back. After he came in, there was another greeting, before he sat down and cut into the topic.

"I am ashamed to say this. Some things in my family made everyone laugh."

At the beginning of this remark, except for Patriarch Xue and Zheng Lizheng, everyone present was inevitably embarrassed. After all, it was someone else ’s family affair. Although the family affair came to the surface, you could discuss it privately and speak on the table. It's two different things.

"Actually, it's plainly poor, and it's all poor. In the past, it's not like that. I sent one baby and the other baby didn't."

One is also named Xue, and the old man named Xue Lianhe, who is the same generation as Mr. Xue, sighed: "Lian Xing, don't say that, your family is also difficult."

Grandpa Xue sighed with a wry smile: "It's difficult, no one is difficult, this light hall is superficial. But no matter how difficult it is, if you want to have a good baby, you have to make a confession. There is a problem. "

He shuddered to reach out the dry tobacco bag from his waist, lit a sip, and then said: "The palm of the hand and the back of the hand are meat. Whichever one I give up makes me feel bad. In fact, this matter was mentioned last year. I have been dragging it. I ’m afraid I ’ll feel uncomfortable in my child ’s heart. It ’s not easy for us as a scholar to offer a student, and the family finally gave Shanzi out. Although he did n’t strive to take the exam several times, he did n’t get it, but he still did it for the village. Everyone did something.

"For all these years, our family has been dealing with people in the village. Everyone sees it in the eyes, not to mention it in the distance. They say that the private school in Shanzi, as long as it is a villager, the family is not ample, and Shuxiu is late or even a little bit. Our family never mentions it. Why? Because it ’s not easy for our countrymen to make a living, facing the loess with their backs, and the gods do n’t give their faces a little, and the family and children are famined. After a year of exhaustion, some taxes are not enough.

"Actually speaking, I'm not afraid of a few brothers and brothers laughing. I tried my best to confess to Shanzi's study. I just thought that if I could pass the exam, I wouldn't have to tax my family."

This remark came to an end, and it seemed that they all said a few flirtatious words, but did not go deeper, but they said that everyone's hearts were mixed.

Grandfather Xue is telling the truth, or is it true to the truth, that's why it's especially complicated.

Someone finally stood up to speak for the previous thing, "Brother Lianxing, don't talk about it, we can't believe you as someone? When someone in the village spreads things, we talked to the children in the family, Brother Lianxing. Not that kind of person. Being a grandfather, there are those who do not hurt grandchildren. "

"Yeah yeah, it's understandable, who's not difficult?"

Seeing that they all echoed with Mr. Xue, only the surnamed Zheng had not yet squeaked. Zheng Lizheng's eyes flashed and smiled and said, "Shanzi's contribution to our village, everyone in the village looks at it, knowing Shanzi's benevolence, everyone This is for everyone's consideration. There is only one sentence, I don't know if I should be an elder or not. "

"Uncle Lizheng, you are Lizheng in our village, there is nothing wrong with it."

Zheng Li nodded his head: "It stands to reason that this is your family's business, and I shouldn't have intervened. I even said that before, Xing Xing said, the palms and backs are flesh." He suddenly sighed and said seriously: " Shanzi, do n’t forget what your second son does n’t have. We all understand it here because we have lived for decades and we have n’t seen it in all our lives. I ’m afraid that outsiders ca n’t understand it. ”

This made it difficult for Xue Qingshan to look on the spot, but since he could arrange this scene, he was not without a countermeasure.

He immediately said: "Uncle Li is right, so I discussed with my dad, and I plan to give the two babies a chance. Let the two compare, and the better get into school. Years, wait until there is a chance to speak. "

Upon hearing this, the people present looked at each other and did not have much opinion. Especially with the previous foreshadowing, Xue Qingshan's words seem to be reasonable, and there is nothing to choose from.

After all, no one is rich, and money is not floating in the river.

Everyone went to see Zheng Lizheng. Zheng Lizheng looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Why are you watching me? Since the Lianxing family has an idea, we will look at his family. But how does this compare? We old guys do n’t Literacy, should Shanzi be arbitrated? "

After a pause, he shook his head: "No, no, Shanzi is the father of Juncai. It's the only way to avoid suspicion. Or choose another talent to make everyone convinced."

He looked up and looked at Xue Qingshan and smiled: "Shanzi, you won't complain about my uncle Zheng's troublesome things. Actually, I'm doing it for you too. Let's be honest and bright.

Xue Qingshan could not wait to throw out this person who always bad for his good deeds at this moment. How could he not complain, but on the surface, he could not say that, but he seemed to ponder for a while, saying: "Uncle Li said that although I ’m an uncle, and I still have to avoid suspicion. If I do n’t do this, I will ask for one, and then Uncle Li will come forward to ask for one. The two will ask questions on the spot and test two small ones. "

Zheng Lizheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Xue Qingshan, looking at him with a good look, and had a bad hunch in his heart. But he had intervened too much, and it was too obvious to be more critical. He only nodded and agreed with a smile. He also praised Xue Qingshan as a scholar, and his mind was different.

Things are settled, and the rest of the conversation is just gossip.

Since the people were invited to the door, no matter what the meal was at noon, Mr. Xue ordered several daughters-in-law to go and clean up the lunch.

The elders of Fang Cai were talking inside, and Xue Tingyan and Xue Juncai stood outside, naturally knowing what happened.

Zhaoer's face was a bit ugly, but Xue Jun glanced at Xue Tingyan proudly, and then went in with his father to speak with several elders. Since then, he won another compliment without mentioning it.

Zhaoer couldn't help but pull Xue Tingyan back to the house, anxiously said: "What can I do? If I knew this, I wouldn't be able to beat the kid. The dogs are all bad sisters, and your sister is in trouble. "

With anxiety in her heart, she brought forward the words like dog sister.

"Don't be afraid, it's fine."

"Is it really okay?" Zhaoer twirled back and forth, saying: "But, what if I lose?"

Xue Tingyan narrowed his eyes: "Don't you believe me? Think I'm not as good as him?"

Zhaoer immediately said: "How is it possible! My dog ​​is the smartest, and he will be an official in the future, and her sister will wait for the dog's blessing!"

This sentence Zhaoer and Xue Tingyan said countless times.

As a child, every time he showed discouragement, she would encourage him so. Even she thought so in her heart, so when everyone didn't look at him and everyone thought he could not, only she still chattered and persevered and said this to him all the time, even doing so with action.

It's a pity that she didn't enjoy his blessing, and she never enjoyed it for a day.

Obviously everything was not his experience, but it was a dream for him, but every time he thought about it, Xue Tingyan felt a great sense of sorrow.

He closed his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Since you have said so, are you afraid of losing?"
