Dress to be a celebrity

The Huan and Song families cannot be in-laws, but the two children are sworn brothers, and they will be considered relatives in the future.Elder Huan doesn't like their small family, so they just look down on Mr. Huan's care in the past, and for the sake of the two children's friendship, and they don't want to benefit from their hometown.

To put it a bit arrogantly, his younger brother is now the second assistant disciple, and Boss Huan is only the fourth assistant, so he is not worthy of his family's attention!

Brother Song had this confidence in his heart, he looked at Huan Ling as he looked at his younger brother, and said lovingly, "How does Bofeng feel?"

Huan Ling still felt something, stood up immediately and replied: "Thank you for your understanding, elder brother and second elder brother, Shi Guan'er and I have known each other since we were young, and we are originally the juniors of the Song family, from now on we will regard uncle and elder brother as relatives. "

Alas!He actually called Shi Guan'er in front of his brothers!

Song Shi was shocked!

Song Shi almost raised his finger to point at him, to expose to his elder brother his secret ambition to raise his seniority, but he grabbed his hand halfway out, and said, "Shi Guan'er, don't worry about me using my elder brother's identity as an excuse in the future." Regardless of you, how our brothers and sisters have gotten along with each other these years, it will still be the same in the future. You haven’t been back to Beijing for a few years, and when you come back, you are busy with exams and social gatherings, so you don’t have a chance to go out for fun. When you come back from your hometown, I’ll take you shopping All over the capital."

Yes, he hasn't been to the She Gong Ta Nu Club yet.I agreed to go after the exam, but I won three yuan, and I suddenly became a celebrity. In the same year, fellow villagers, and future colleagues came to him in turn.

Renhong is really troubled.

Song Shi was immersed in the happiness of becoming popular overnight and the expectation of personally testing weapons of mass destruction, so he forgave him for changing his nickname to himself.

This meal was also regarded as a farewell feast with Huan Ling. The next morning, the three Song brothers bid farewell to their relatives, friends and teachers, and prepared to return home.In the Song Dynasty, he carried a box of the New Four Books, two squares of Supa, a box of dried persimmons from Mopan persimmons in his hometown, a box of snacks such as walnuts, chestnuts, torreya, and dried meat, and a small basket of salted duck eggs.Except for the duck eggs, which were served in small bamboo baskets, everything else was carefully wrapped with dyed pastel wrapping paper and homemade ribbons, and put into handy paper bags. First, we went to the house of our teacher, Zhang Cifu, to say goodbye.

Zhang Cifu was holding a handful of posts begging for relatives, and was about to find an excuse to call him, but he didn't expect him to come to his door by himself, just to check his tone.

Mrs. Zhang met him in the flower hall in person, and briefly said a few words about the love between teachers and students, and then asked casually: "Ziqi's gifts are well chosen, and the boxes in which they are packed are also beautifully wrapped. It is quite clever, but I don't know." Who took care of it for you?"

Generally, the ones who prepare these things are the female relatives of the inner house. It is not written in the birthplace of his examination paper that he has a wife, and he has never seen him get married after entering Beijing.

I heard that his elder brothers are also in Beijing, if these things are prepared by his sister-in-law or concubine, then it is even more necessary to ask for the favor of relatives.

The old man raised his eyelids to see his reaction, but he smiled slightly, showing a bit of complacency: "How dare you perfunctory what is given to the teacher? It was arranged by the student himself. In the past, when the student followed his father as an official in Fujian, he often Pack some presents, these paper bags, bags and things like that were made back then."

It’s not that he’s boasting. He can restore the less complicated gift boxes and gift bags in general supermarkets. He can also use soft satin to glue them into hard ribbons. The ribbons and flowers are glued to the packaging. of.

However, the officials in other places just praised "hard work" when they received the gift, so he is the teacher who can appreciate the beauty of his craftsmanship.

Song Shi felt a sense of satisfaction from being affirmed by others, and wanted to talk to him about packaging art; Zhang Cifu was also satisfied when he found out that he had no female relatives around him, and wanted to talk to him about marrying a wife.

"You used to be a child and take care of your father's business. It's fine to put your mind to it. Afterwards, you became an official in your own family. How can you still take care of these trivial matters?"

Song Shi replied obediently: "The teacher is right. After my father returns to Beijing, the student and the two elder brothers will be reunited with their mother. From now on, my mother and I will take care of these chores. The student must put all his thoughts into it." In the upward direction, don't waste time."

Why is this student so clueless?At this time, the answer should be "the students are not married yet"!

Zhang Cifu wanted to ask him to build a ladder, so that he could talk about the ladies of each family along the way, but he was so old, it seemed that he hadn't thought about marriage at all...

Could it be that he has already engaged another marriage at home?

After all, it has been more than three years since the daughter of the Huan family was elected to the palace. He might have met her earlier in Fujian, but he could not get married if he didn't take the mid-term exam?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Cifu didn't care about being reserved, and asked him directly: "Now that you have won the first prize in the examination, it's time to start a family and start a career. Has your family engaged you in a marriage?"

... It's not yet Chinese New Year, and the teacher is urging you to get married?

Still want to force marriage?

If he had said this half a year earlier, Song Shi might have agreed because he met the old father's requirements for choosing an in-law.But now Huan Sifu's grandson proposes to him, and for some reason... In short, hasn't he still refused?

He is a principled person, and he will never drag other girls into the water until the problem over there is resolved.

Song Shi glanced at Mr. Zhang apologetically, pretending not to understand what he meant, and said with a smile: "The student is only in his twenties, and there is a mother and sister-in-law to take care of the family, so why rush to get married? A man should rely on his career. The most important thing is that Huo Qubing said, "If the Huns are not destroyed, why should the family be?" The students also had this idea—"

If the Tatars are immortal, why should the family do it!

In the future, this reason can be changed to "the Japanese slaves are not destroyed", "the bandits are not destroyed", "the famine is not destroyed"... It is enough for him to use it to solve the relationship problem of Brother Huan Xiao.

Zhang Cifu shook his head with a smile: "It's a child's talk. The Tatars have repeatedly harassed the border since the Taizu drove the Mongols and Yuan people into the grassland at the beginning of the dynasty. Inexhaustible. Could it be that Tatar has been immortal for decades, and you are still unmarried because of him?"

He...he really might not be able to get married in this life.

This terrible idea suddenly appeared in Song Shi's mind, and he wanted to shake his head to refuse, but his body in reality nodded his head slowly as if he had been poisoned.

After he came out of Zhang's residence, he was a little surprised that he refused so relentlessly just now.

It could have been postponed until his father came back from Fujian, and then he said that he would edit a new book and stay in the Imperial Academy all day and all night working overtime. He was busy with work and naturally had no time to get married.And then... It takes four or five years to compile a book, and there are many books that have been compiled for decades. It takes such a long time to sort out the relationship between him and Brother Huan Xiao. Why did he refuse so firmly at that time?

That's Cisuke personally proposing marriage to him!

However, the scene of Teacher Zhang's marriage proposal was not as exciting as the scene of Senior Brother Huan's marriage proposal.Probably after that scene, his threshold was raised, and he can no longer be touched by other marriage proposal scenes?

He rubbed his temples, looked up and saw the coachman at home waiting at the door, straightened his face quickly, and ordered the coachman to take him to the house of another tutor, the deputy examiner Master Zeng.

After this farewell trip, about half of the people in the capital will no longer propose marriage to his family.

At the beginning of April in the Song Dynasty, he went to the Ministry of Officials to apply for leave, received the customs defense, and left Beijing by car with his brothers.When parting, not only did Huan Ling ask for leave to send him off, but also friends and fans who had not returned to Fujian in the same year they met in this subject also went to the Changting Pavilion outside the city to bid farewell to each other.

The people who saw him off almost broke the official road, and the two elder brothers clicked their tongues. The second brother even sighed: "If I release a county magistrate in the future, I will have so many elders to see me off when I leave office. I will not lose money in this life." .”

Song Shi said with a smile: "When our father left office in Guangxi, there were real crowds of people chasing each other off. Several Wanmin umbrellas were made and written densely. When father came back, the brothers asked him the secret of being an official. Isn't it done?"

The eldest brother also asked him to be a little bit interested, and said: "If you don't pass the test for many years, you might as well donate an official to do it like your father. It's just that you have to choose the place carefully-you can't go to the war-torn and bitter cold places in the Northwest." Yes, the Central Plains and the South are good, Guangxi can also be visited, and the Northeast is also said to be good black land, but the weather is colder."

When it comes to these, the Song Dynasty was the most experienced, so he analyzed the climate, topography and geology, disasters, customs, scenic spots, specialties, ethnic groups, etc. for his brothers one by one.During the two-day journey from the capital to Baoding, he was called Amway all over the country's [-]A-level scenic spots, and the two elder brothers were moved a little bit to give up the official examination and donation.

Anyway, there is a younger brother of Sanyuan Jidi in the center, who is enough to protect the family. They have also taken the exam for 30 to [-] years. Do they really have to pass the exam for three years?

The two elder brothers have their own thoughts, but the carriage has already arrived outside the Fucheng.

The head of the Song family, Song Fu, took his 11-year-old elder brother, Song Lin, to meet them outside the city.A little child dressed in a neat Confucian shirt, with a mature expression and thoughtful manners, standing in front of the car and saluting like a little adult, calling from father to third uncle, is really indescribably cute.

What's especially cute is that this child has just grown his hair, and the hair on his head is short. Only the two small buns of the long life braids are long enough to form a very small bun on the top of his head.

This hairstyle is so cute!

As long as it doesn't stay on your own head, this kind of child's hairstyle is really painful!

He took out a pack of halva candies from his sleeve and gave it to his nephew, and while he was receiving the candies with both hands, he brushed his short, stiff hair with his hands.

The short hair is mixed with smooth long hair, which feels really good.

Song Shi raised the corners of his lips contentedly, hid his hands back into his sleeves, and asked with a smile: "Guan Lin can already read the Four Books at this age? Promising child, how far have you read?"

Lin Guan'er held the bag of sugar, with a serious expression on his face, and replied seriously: "My nephew has now read the words 'The so-called whoever is sincere, don't deceive yourself'!"

Song Shi even praised "so smart" a few times, and his elder brother's face was also full of pride, and he couldn't praise the child face to face, so he pretended to scold: "Your third uncle can cure the root cause at this age, but you just read this paragraph. I really don't live up to it!"

Song Shi had heard a little about pedagogy, and knew a theory about praising children, so he interrupted his eldest brother, hugged Lin Guan'er and said, "Brother, don't be humble, this child is good as long as he is good, and he doesn't need to compare himself with others. I think He is familiar with books, and he is not slow to learn. He will leave Baoding in the future and find a good teacher in Beijing to teach him. In a few years, he will be able to be a child student and a scholar."

Brother Lin bowed his head in embarrassment when he heard this uncle who was no longer impressed with him praise him. He raised his head when he heard him say "Leave Baoding", and called his father with some fear: "Father, I don't want to go. Jingli, I want to study at home!"

Song Shi hugged this big baby and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of? Not only you go to Beijing alone, but you persuade grandma, our whole family will live in Beijing, and it will be the same as when we lived at home!"

Song Xiao glanced at him reproachfully, but said nothing.

——If he let go of the foreign job, he can take his wife with him, but it is not easy for the two children who are studying to leave the champion uncle and go to a job where they don't know how to study.In case the second brother is also willing to let go of his job, the family members will really have to be sent to Beijing to be taken care of by their father and third brother.

The whole family moved to the capital, it seemed that it had to be done.

The three brothers entered Fucheng with similar thoughts. When they arrived at the intersection of West Street, they saw a group of people digging the foundation in the distance. Song Fu rushed to the car and opened the curtain. It is the Sanyuan archway built for our third master! The third master is the first number one scholar in our Baoding mansion, and even the first three yuan, and several grand lords and lords in the prefecture and county are thinking of the third master every day!"

Of course, they read more strongly at home.

Song Fu commanded the coachman and servants to shout "Song Sanyuan is back home", and the whole street boiled up, and passers-by and neighbors crowded up, blocking the road tightly.But because they wanted to go home, they didn't dare to stop them. When they saw the wheels approaching, it was like water waves parting in front of a boat, so they squeezed desperately to the side of the road.

Song Shi was afraid of making things difficult, so he leaned out half of his body and waved at people, shouting: "Neighbors, I am the number one scholar in Song Shi, and I live in this Song family. If you want to see me, come here in the future." If you can see it, you don’t have to be stuck here, so as not to accidentally cause accidents during the stampede!”

He yelled all the champions, and the servants in the family immediately shouted the same. Although the neighbors were reluctant to see the champion, the people behind were not as eager to rush forward as before, pushing the people in front to the front of the car.

The street gradually gave way to a narrow road leading directly to the Song Mansion.

The gate of the Song family was open long before the crowds came up. At this time, when the outsiders dispersed, a row of family members came up to greet them and pulled the caravan into the gate.The car drove straight into the inner courtyard, and at the gate of the courtyard stood an old lady wearing autumn-colored gowns, gray hair, and a chubby face, supported by her daughter-in-law on the left and right sides, and when she saw the car coming, she yelled "time Officer".

Song Shi didn't care to wait for the two elder brothers, jumped out of the car with his nephew in his arms, ran straight in front of her, hugged her and called "Mother", and then called "Sister-in-law" to the young women on both sides.

The youngest son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady.

Although Song Shi was not her own, she raised her in her house since she was a child. At that time, no other children were born in the family for a long time. Song Shi was like her own son, or in other words, her eldest grandson in this family.

Such a precious lump was suddenly asked by his father to take him away for more than six years, and the old lady's heart was also worried about it for six years. When she saw him back, she finally let go, patted his back and cried: "My Shi Guan'er, you're back! Why are you so thin? It's because your out-of-shape father is exhausting you!"
