Chapter 219 Tombstone

This day is destined to be an eventful day. After Mrs. Chen made breakfast, before the whole family sat down at the dining table and had a bite, someone from Zhu's family came in again.

Zhu Ping'an's grandfather came in first with a cigarette pipe and pot, followed by several elders in the village, and finally Uncle Village Zheng, er, there was another one behind, who was the uncle Zhu Shouren who hadn't been out for several days.

"Father, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang" Father Zhu quickly put down his chopsticks and walked out of the room to greet him.

"Grandfather, Grandpa Li, Uncle Wang"

Zhu Ping'an followed closely behind, followed Zhu's father to welcome him into the yard, and said hello to his grandfather and others who came in.

"Well, good, it's good for the pig to come back." The grandfather was quite satisfied, and then looked at the village elders and village officials behind him, with a look of pride, "This is the good horse of my Zhu family."

The village elders and the village Zheng and others complimented each other on their faces, but they didn't think so in their hearts. When Shouyi's family was separated, it was not like this. At the beginning, the village elders, the village Zheng and others tried to persuade him, but his grandfather didn't listen. Insisting on keeping the reputation of the eldest son, and cruelly separating Shouyi's family, now he is called a good horse for thousands of miles, but back then.

After the grandfather finished speaking, the face of the uncle Zhu Shouren turned a little red. At the beginning, Qianli Liangju and the like were all talking about himself. Passed the exam, my nephew only took the exam for half a year, so he even passed the exam!

This envy, jealousy and hatred.

Really, really. But my nephew passed the Juren exam, and then I will be a scholar or something, isn't it?

Uncle Zhu Shouren is heartbroken and happy. I have to say that thick-skinned people are much happier!

"Father, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, and Muramasa all come in, let's eat some more."

My mother, Mrs. Chen, stood at the door and enthusiastically asked Muren to wait for someone to come inside to eat some more, but she turned a blind eye to Zhu Shouren who was behind, and even rolled her eyes.

"Xi'er really made a name for my Zhu family this time. When you went with your uncle to take the entrance examination for children, the uncle saw that Xi'er must have a great future this time. I didn't expect that I was really lucky. The future is boundless, don't forget uncle in the future."

Uncle Zhu Shouren is personable, without blushing or panting, he also takes credit for Zhu Ping'an's admission to Juren, and very bluntly asks Zhu Pingan to take care of him in the future!

When Mrs. Chen heard the words, she almost ran away on the spot.

At the beginning, he borrowed usury shamelessly, and after the incident, he let his man take the blame, causing his man to have his leg almost broken for no reason. I begged my father with snot and tears, which caused my family to be separated into a dilapidated thatched hut with no shelter from the wind and rain. My family didn't know how they survived at the beginning. Even the fourth family knows to take care of themselves a little bit, but as the culprit, they don't fart! Even to go to the boy's exam, I didn't know the money I borrowed from my man, and I still haven't paid it back!

Now that Xie'er has won the exam, he still shamelessly takes credit and let Xie'er take care of him! I really have the ability to pass the exam by myself!

Mrs. Chen doesn't like Zhu Shouren at all!

"No, we've eaten all of Shouyi's. We're here this time because we have something to discuss with you."

An elderly village elder leaned on a cane and shook his head, then coughed a few times to raise his intentions, and then signaled to the villager who was following him to speak.

"It's like this. It's the honor of our whole village that Ping Anlang passed the Juren examination. We also checked the county annals and calculated it in private. This monument, on the one hand, is to show and reward our family's safety, and on the other hand, it is also an encouragement to the younger generations in our village."

Mura is taking a step forward, briefly talking about his intentions in the future.

Father Zhu thought about it for a while before he could open his mouth. His mother Chen's eyes lit up. This is a good thing. What else was there to think about?

"Ah, good."

Acquainted wife Mo Ruofu, Father Zhu couldn't understand what Chen meant, and he couldn't help but screamed half aloud because of the pain of being pinched, and then said "Okay".

Mother Chen was very satisfied with this, her spirits were high and her eyebrows were dancing.

Chen himself has the potential to show off, which was also cultivated in a series of collisions between the old house and his aunt and aunt. After his second primary school, he was worried about how to let more people know. Now it's all right. , set up a monument, it would be very beautiful.

The more mother Chen thought about it, the more energetic she became.

Both parents agreed, and Zhu Pingan would naturally not object. It is good to set up a monument to encourage the younger generations in the village to study. No matter in ancient times or modern times, reading is very necessary. Rong's fashion is also a rare wealth for Xiahe Village.

"Pingan Lang is also honoring his ancestors this time. This time, he will also erect a flagpole stone in front of your Zhu family's ancestral hall to show his fame and comfort his ancestors. From now on, people in the village will go to your Zhu family's ancestral hall to offer incense every year and festival. Kowtow."

After finishing the first thing, Muramasa said another thing.

This time it was Zhu Ping'an's grandfather who made the first agreement. Early in the morning, when the village chief and the village elder went to the old house to talk about it, his grandfather was so excited. Now that the village official has officially settled the matter, grandfather Excited. This is something for the Zhu family to honor their ancestors. When he thinks about it, his grandfather feels full of energy. After a hundred years, he can also have the face to meet his ancestors.

Zhu Ping'an knew about the flagpole stone, and had consulted relevant information in modern times. In the era of feudal imperial examinations, whenever someone was admitted as a Jinshi, the tribe would set up a flagpole stone for him in front of the ancestral hall or ancestral house in the village, erect the flagpole, and hang a flag. To show fame and fame, to honor ancestors. The flagpole stone is the base of the Juren flag, and information about Zhongjuren will also be engraved on it.

Establishing the flagpole stone and erecting the stele are both famous, and the Zhu family naturally actively and enthusiastically raised their hands in favor.

Only the Zhu family here agreed, but the village elders said that the stele had already been selected, and the only thing left was to engrave the words. The same is true for the flagpole stone.

Uh

It seems that the stele has been prepared a long time ago, and I just waited for Zhu Ping'an to come back and tell Zhu Ping'an, which is too positive.

In fact, there are practical reasons why the village elders and village leaders attach so much importance to Zhu Ping'an's Zhongju. In a feudal society, it is great to have a Juren in a village. In addition to reputation, all kinds of welfare policies in the county will be tilted towards the village in the future. There will be more care for the corvee and corvee, and other villages will also look up to the village, and it will be much easier for the young people in the village to marry a wife.
