Evergreen Immortal

Chapter 105 Moral Archway, an unexpected surprise (please subscribe!)

"Ma Dianshi?"

Li Rui saw at a glance that the leader was Ma Fu, the Dianshi of the county government.

"Brother Li, congratulations, congratulations."

"The county government reported the deeds of you and Deputy Captain Zhang killing the monster. Unexpectedly, the emperor was very pleased and specially granted this archway to show his grace."

Li Rui bowed:

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although this plaque was issued by the Qinghe County Government, it was authorized by the court, or the emperor.

Courtesy is absolutely indispensable.

Generally speaking, it is usually necessary to kneel down to thank, that is, Li Rui is already seventy years old, and the Yu Kingdom attaches great importance to filial piety, and seventy-year-olds do not need to kneel to see the emperor.

This is exempted.

Ma Dianshi hurriedly stepped forward, helped Li Rui up, and said enviously:

"Brother Li, this is the first archway in Qinghe that the emperor has granted. It is a great thing to glorify the ancestors."

In ancient times, etiquette was important.

This memorial archway is not something that anyone can erect if they want to.

Generally speaking, memorial archways are divided into three categories: memorial archways for fame and honor, memorial archways for morality. In addition to these two categories, there are also memorial archways for the gates of academies and temples.

The memorial archway for fame is naturally awarded to those civil and military officials who have made great contributions and worked hard, usually from the third rank and above. Of course, some deeds with publicity value are sometimes specially awarded with memorial archways.

Another type of memorial archway that individuals can get is the memorial archway for morality.

It is usually issued to people with local prestige or high moral character.

The chastity memorial archway commonly mentioned by the people is the memorial archway issued to women.

Li Rui looked at the two words "righteousness and courage" on the plaque.

These two words are not light.

The plaque is just a symbol. What it really represents is that after death, a stone memorial archway with the two words "righteousness and courage" engraved on it and the life deeds written next to it can be erected.

There is just such a memorial archway in front of the door.

Although the practical value is not high.

But it is full of force and its nominal value is immeasurable.

If it were placed in a certain family, it would be a great event to glorify the ancestors, and a symbol of identity, status, and honor.

Qinghe County Office would also issue a quota for a memorial archway every year.

But these memorial archways are only used in Qinghe.

Over the years, the wealthy families in the city have one each, and they are almost useless.

But Li Rui's memorial archway is not ordinary. The key point is the two words "imperial construction" on the rectangular stone slab embedded in the built memorial archway, which means that the emperor agreed to build it.

Imperial memorial archways are generally divided into imperial order, grace and honor, imperial decree or imperial construction.

Imperial order means that the emperor personally ordered it to be built, grace and honor means that the emperor took the initiative to propose and then built it himself; imperial decree means that the emperor issued an official imperial decree to build it, and imperial construction is the lowest level, which is verbally approved by the emperor and built by himself.

Even so, it is unique in Qinghe.

Otherwise, why would Ma Fu, the county office manager, be so envious?

If Li Rui had a family, then his family would become the most noble family in Qinghe.

It's a pity that he is alone.

After receiving the plaque, Li Rui chatted with Ma Dianshi for a few more words.

After asking carefully, he found out that he and Zhang Yang killed the monster together, but he was the only one who had the plaque.

No other reason.

It's just because Li Rui is old.

Things like the archway should be written into the official report and sent to the various county offices of Yu State.

The response will be extraordinary if it is spread out.

A 70-year-old man is killing monsters and fighting against the Ghost Sect. What reason do young people have not to work hard?

What is this called?

The actual effect is not great, but the publicity value is extremely high.

Simply put, Li Rui has become famous.

Ma Dianshi held Li Rui's hand and talked for a long time.

Finally, Li Rui finally understood what Ma Dianshi meant.

When he was poor and destitute and redeemed himself, it was Ma Dianshi who witnessed it. This should be written on the archway biography. Ma Dianshi just wanted Li Rui to have his name on the archway.

When the people of Qinghe in the future look up to the memorial archway bestowed by Li Rui, they will be able to see his name.

Take a different approach.

Leave a name in history!

Which scholar can resist the temptation of leaving a name in history?

Seeing Li Rui nod in agreement, Ma Dianshi left with satisfaction.

The government officials had all left.

The disciples of the Tiandi League who were watching the fun gathered around.

They discussed it in a flurry.

Li Rui carried the plaque, closed the door and returned to the yard.

Yang Yong and Wang Zhao looked at the plaque in Li Rui's hand and swallowed their saliva.

When they were in the Zhu family before, they all listened to this kind of thing as a story, but they didn't expect that Li Rui would actually make it happen now.

"Old Li, we have been friends in life and death for so many years, so why not engrave my name on it too."

"Master, I want to, too."

Li Rui looked at the expectant eyes of the two and said helplessly: "Add, both."

He touched his chin.

Suddenly he felt that he had found the correct way to use the memorial archway.

There must be many people in the city who have the same idea as Ma Dianshi.

"One hundred taels for engraving a name?"

"No, it's too cheap!"

"But if the price is too high, no one will buy it."

"If it doesn't work, change it to an auction?"

Just when Li Rui was thinking about how to cash in on his honor -

Lines of small words appeared in front of him.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the primary plot of achieving fame and fame - becoming famous. ]

[A person's name is like the shadow of a tree. A person's reputation is extremely important in his life. A good man should establish his reputation and pass it down through the ages. You have obtained a merit archway and have become famous in the world. Please continue to work hard. ]

[Complete the task and become famous. Rewards are being calculated.]

[Task rating C. ]

[Obtain 20 achievement points! ]

[Name: Li Rui]

[Age: 7]

[Talent: Wugu, Outstanding Comprehension, Spiritual Eyes]

[Kung Fu: White Ape with Sword, Nine Mysterious Spiritual Sky Diagram]

[Achievement: 20/100]

Li Rui looked at the increased achievement points, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Let’s not talk about cashing in.

Just these “20” achievement points are already a huge profit.

“Who said reputation is useless?”

“I think it’s very useful!”

The news that Li Rui got the imperial memorial archway quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qinghe.

What is a local celebrity?

Compared to Li Rui, those big families in the city are simply weak.

Li Rui didn’t wait for the big customers who came to ask for signatures, but instead waited for a lot of young people who took the initiative to recognize him as their godfather.

He also threatened to serve him for the rest of his life, which made people laugh and cry.

Li Rui was not in a hurry to get the memorial archway.

After all, he is now living in the house of Tiandi League.

It is called Li Mansion on it.

But as long as Li Rui leaves Tiandi League, he can still put "Wang Mansion" or "Zhao Mansion".

It is obviously inappropriate to put the memorial archway in Qinghe Branch.

After thinking about it, it is better to wait until the house is purchased before repairing it.

Although the memorial archway has not been built yet, there are many reservations for the words on the memorial archway. The highest bidder is the Zhu family, who bid one thousand taels in one breath, which is a sky-high price. Although someone else offered a high price of three hundred taels later, it seemed mediocre in front of the offer of Zhu Ping, the master of the Zhu family.

Not everyone is qualified to write on the memorial archway.

In the end, a memorial archway made a full profit of three thousand taels.

Even this is the result of Li Rui's restraint.
