[Red House] Ban'er's Road to Imperial Examination

As soon as the carriage entered the village, it attracted the attention of the villagers of Wangjia Village. Some lively children and adults who liked to watch the excitement gathered together and stood on the side of the road and pointed at the carriage. Looking at it, there was a lot of discussion.

Seeing the carriage going directly to Wang Gou'er's house along the road, and then taking a closer look at the fine patterns on the carriage, it is definitely not comparable to the carriage rented by the carriage shop or the carriages prepared by ordinary people. In the direction of the carriage, the villagers immediately remembered the news from the previous two days.

The news came from Wang Laosan who was driving into the city, saying that Grandma Liu took Wang Yue to the Rongguo Mansion in the capital, which confirmed that what Wang Gou'er said before that he had relatives in the Duke's Mansion was not false. of.

The people who went with them all showed up to testify, and all of a sudden there was a turmoil in this small mountain village. The arresters of the patrol room, these officials who are nothing more than low-level officials in the officialdom are already great officials in the eyes of the people, and the Duke's Mansion is a first-class high-ranking official even in the officialdom, and the people also I've only heard of it in dramas.

No one knows how big the official position and power of the Duke's Mansion are, but based on their superficial opinion, the Duke's Mansion can definitely control the county magistrate and prefect.

This is enough for the power of the people.

Originally, Wang Gou'er said that they had relatives from the Duke's Mansion, and outsiders were only considered to be servants of the Duke's Mansion, or he was just bragging, but they really did.

Of course, there were some who refused to believe it, but now that the carriage was carrying Grandma Liu and Wang Yue straight to Wang Gou'er's house, they couldn't help but not believe it.

"Old man, brother, we're home!" A boy driving the carriage parked the carriage at the gate of Wang's house, jumped off the shaft neatly, lifted the curtain and stretched out his hand to support Grandma Liu, while the other called loudly to the door: "But Grandma Liu He and Wang Yue's young master's house, I sent the two of you home on the order of our old lady and wife! Come and pick them up!"

Only Mrs. Liu was at home in the house. She heard the noise outside and hurried out to have a look. She saw her mother and son standing in front of a beautiful carriage talking to two seventeen or eighteen-year-old brothers.

"Mom, Ban'er, you're back!" Mrs. Liu greeted them immediately when she saw the two, and Grandma Liu pulled her over and pointed at the two little brothers: "This is sent by my aunt to send us back. The two little brothers of the family have come here after a long journey, so you hurry up and fix a table to entertain guests."

Mrs. Liu waited at home for two days, and finally saw his mother and son come back. She had a lot of questions to ask, but in front of outsiders, she could only suppress the anxiety in her heart and smiled, "Okay, I'll go now!"

The two servants naturally declined, but Grandma Liu couldn't help trying to persuade him to stay, so he had to stay. At this time, Wang Gou'er was in the field, and it happened to be spring. He was looking at the wheat in the field, and he saw the At the head, a cousin who was familiar with him called him, saying that a guest had come.

On the way, he inquired and said that someone was driving his mother-in-law and son back in a carriage. Wang Gou'er was overjoyed. The fact that they could send a carriage to take them back showed that the family really treated their grandparents and grandchildren sincerely.

Now their family has a real backer! !

Wang Gou'er was thinking happily, while speeding up his pace. When he arrived at the door, he saw the two young men who had sent his grandfather and grandson back to help carry things into the house. Wang Gou'er quickly put the hoe against the wall. Immediately went up to greet him and said: "Don't dare to ask the two little brothers to help, you are already troublesome to send their grandparents back, how dare you ask you to help carry things?"

"The old lady asked our brothers to come here to help, and we should do something, so why bother!"

One of the servants hurriedly said, and the other hour also hurriedly echoed, if the Wang family is just the poor relatives of the second wife, they, who are servants, would naturally dare to show off in front of them and not save face for them, but it is obvious that the Wang family is not Ordinary poor relatives.

Now, the son of the Wang family is only eight years old and he is almost a scholar, and he might become an official at some point, but it's not them servants who dare to offend.

Besides, the old ladies and ladies, even the master valued him, and everyone knew that he had a bright future. Although the servants of the Rongguo Mansion all had eyes of wealth and honor, they also had eyes of snobbery. How dare you offend?

Wang Gou'er has been in the market for many years, and he is well aware of the difficulties of these servants, and most of these servants have been married for generations, and the roots are intertwined. Ordinary people are absolutely unwilling to offend these wealthy servants.

Although our family is closely related to the master of the Rongguo Mansion, they have been estranged for a long time. The aunt who married into the Rongguo Mansion should trust her servants the most. That aunt said a few bad things about his son in front of her, so she caused trouble for his son for no reason.

"It's just some miscellaneous things, and it's not heavy. I'll just ask someone to come and carry it. Don't bother the two little brothers." As he said, Wang Gou'er stretched out his hand and waved to the cousin who had just called him home, and pulled him away. Called to the front and said: "Fifth brother, please move these things to the house, I will talk to the two brothers, okay?"

Wang Gou'er's cousin quickly nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not a heavy item. I'll ask your nephew to come over with me later. After two trips, the move is over. Go and entertain the guests."

As he said that, he smiled at the two young men, and the two young men were naturally willing to take a rest seeing this, so they put down the things in their hands and followed Wang Gou'er into the house.

Mrs. Liu hurriedly poured tea in the house and entertained the two of you. When she went out, she followed Grandma Liu to the village to buy some chicken, duck, meat and eggs. Look at their small households and they also have good things.

As soon as Wang Yue entered the house, before she had time to change her clothes, she grabbed a handful of copper plates from the small cabinet next to the bed and stuffed them into her sleeves, and then walked around the village through the back door, smiling and greeting the elders, laughing all the way, finally Only then came a fenced yard.

"Grandpa Six, are you there?"

"Here!!" There was an angry voice from inside the room, and then someone pushed open the door and came out. When he saw that person, Wang Xue hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Hello, Sixth Grandfather!"

"You are good too! Oh, it's Ban'er. Didn't you say that your house has guests? Why are you here when you have time?"

Wang Yue smiled slightly, and said, "My father and mother are at home to say hello, but I'm not needed."

"I don't need you, you can read a book in the house for a while, why are you here? I have no fun here."

"It's like this, Sixth Grandpa, didn't I go to a relative in the city with my grandma a few days ago, and when I came back, their family gave my grandma and me a lot of things, so I thought about giving them some things too, but you The old people also know that they may not be interested in the things in our countryside. I thought that I might as well go to Grandpa Liu to buy some bamboo things. Although they are not expensive things, they are still somewhat new. It’s better to keep it fresh than to give it away.”

"That's right, those city people don't know what to think. They have to spend money to buy these bamboo things. If I have money, what is wrong with buying them? These bamboo things can't be eaten or drunk. Yes, it’s useless to buy it back just to look fresh.”

"Would those people in the city buy it? Grandpa Liu, how are you going to sell these bamboo weaving things?"

After listening to Wang Yue's words, Wang Liuye thought for a while, laughed loudly and said, "This is also the reason, well, you go into the room and pick it yourself, just take out what you pick."

"Understood, Grandpa Six!"
