Chapter 218: Erecting a Monument
This day was destined to be an eventful day, after the Chen family made breakfast, the whole family sat at the dinner table and had not eaten two bites, and someone from the Zhu family entered the door again. ~,
Zhu Ping'an's grandfather entered the door with a cigarette bag and pot in his hand, followed by several village elders in the village, and finally Uncle Murazheng, uh, there is another one in the back, it is Zhu Shouren, an uncle who has not gone out for several days.
"Dad, Uncle Li, Uncle Wang" Father Zhu hurriedly put down his chopsticks and walked out of the house to greet him.
"Grandfather, Grandpa Li, Grandpa Wang"
Zhu Ping'an followed closely behind, followed Zhu's father to the courtyard, and greeted his grandfather and others who came in.
"Well, okay, it's good for Biao'er to come back." Grandfather was quite satisfied, and then looked at the village elders and village leaders behind him, with a proud face, "This is the good horse of my Zhu family." ”
The village elder and the village are complimented on their faces, but they are a little disappreciative in their hearts, when the Shouyi family was separated, it was not like this, the village elder and the village were persuaded at the beginning, but the grandfather did not listen, insisted on keeping the reputation of the eldest son, and was ruthless to separate the Shouyi family
After the grandfather finished speaking, Uncle Zhu Shouren's face turned a little red all of a sudden, at the beginning, Qianli Liangju and the like were all talking about themselves, but as an uncle, he had been taking the exam for one or two decades, and he hadn't even been admitted to the show, and his nephew had only been tested for half a year.
This envy, jealousy, hatred, etc.
Really, it's really just that my nephew was admitted to the lifter, and then he was admitted to the show or something. Isn't it?
Uncle Zhu Shouren's heart hurts and he is happy, and I have to say that thick-skinned people have a lot of joy!
"Daddy. Uncle Li, Uncle Wang, and Mura Zheng all come in, eat some more. ”
Mother Chen stood at the door and enthusiastically called Muramasa and others to come to the house to eat more. only ignored Zhu Shouren in the back, and rolled his eyes.
"Yu'er is really famous for my Zhu family this time, when you went to the children's examination with your uncle, the uncle saw that Bi'er must have a great future this time, but I didn't expect to be really lucky by me, and the future is immeasurable, don't forget the uncle in the future."
Uncle Zhu Shouren was personable, his face was not red and he didn't breathe, and he also took a point from himself for Zhu Ping'an's admission to the people, and he also asked Zhu Ping'an to take more care of him in the future!
Chen heard this. I almost stormed out on the spot.
At the beginning, he borrowed a loan shark without face and skin, and after the incident, he let his man take the blame, so that his man was almost broken by someone for no reason, or he was studying. didn't block the wind and rain, and his family didn't know how to survive at the beginning. Even the fourth family knows to take care of themselves, but as the culprit, they don't let out a fart! Even when I went to take the boy's exam, I borrowed the money from my man without telling it, and I haven't paid it back until now!
Now I'm in the middle of it. He also shamelessly took credit, and let Yu'er take care of it! I really have the ability to take the test by myself!
Chen has no good impression of Zhu Shouren!
"No, Shouyi's. We've all eaten. We're here this time because we have something to discuss with you. ”
An old village elder. He shook his head on crutches, then coughed a few times and lifted it up a few times. Then he motioned to the village that followed him to speak.
"That's the case, Ping'an Lang took the exam, this is the glory of our entire village, we also checked the county records, and privately summed it up, this is also a custom handed down by our ancestors, I want to set up a monument in the center of our village, on the one hand, it is to show the reward for the safety of our family, on the other hand, it is also an incentive for the younger generations in our village."
Muramasa stepped forward and briefly said what he meant.
Father Zhu thought for a while and before he could speak, his mother Chen's eyes lit up, this is a good thing, what else do you think, she stepped forward and pinched Father Zhu's back without a trace.
"Ah, yes."
Knowing his wife Mo Ruofu, Father Zhu couldn't understand what Chen meant, and he couldn't help but scream in pain when he was pinched, and then said "Okay".
His mother, Chen, was so satisfied with this that her face was full of energy and her eyebrows were dancing.
Chen's own has the potential to show, which is also cultivated in a series of collisions between the old house and the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt.
The more her mother Chen thought about it, the more radiant she became.
Parents agreed, Zhu Ping'an naturally will not object, it is naturally good to erect a monument to encourage the younger generations in the village to read, whether it is in ancient or modern times, reading is very necessary, if a monument is erected to let Xiahe Village form a fashion of being proud of reading, it is also a rare wealth for Xiahe Village.
"Ping'an Lang is also glorious to the ancestors this time, and this time he will also set up a flagpole stone in front of your Zhu family ancestral hall to show his fame and comfort his ancestors, and in the future, the people in the village will go to your Zhu family ancestral hall to worship on incense during the New Year's Festival."
After Muramasa finished saying the first thing, he said another thing.
This time it was Zhu Ping'an's grandfather who took the lead in saying yes, early in the morning when the village was still there and the village elders went to the old house to talk about it, the grandfather was excited, and now he heard that the village was officially deciding on this matter, and his grandfather was excited. This is a matter of honoring the ancestors of the Zhu family, as soon as I think of this, my grandfather feels full of energy, and after a hundred years, I can also have the face to see the ancestors and ancestors.
For the flagpole stone, Zhu Ping'an understands it, and has consulted relevant information in modern times. In the era of feudal imperial examinations, whenever someone was admitted to the Jinshi, the clansmen would erect a flagpole stone in front of the ancestral hall or ancestral house in the village, erect a flagpole, and hang a flag, and write the name of the person in the middle and the rank of the person in the middle of the flag on it, so as to show the fame and glory of the ancestors. The flagpole stone is the base of the flag, and it will also be engraved with information about the middle lifter.
The flagpole stone and the monument are all famous, and the Zhu family naturally actively raised their hands in favor.
The Zhu family here agreed, and the village elders over there said that the stele had been selected, and it was almost engraved, and the flagpole stone was the same.
It seems that the stele has been prepared a long time ago, just waiting for Zhu Ping'an to come back and say to Zhu Ping'an, which is also too positive.
In fact, there is a practical reason why the village elders and the village are attaching so much importance to Zhu Ping'an, in the feudal society, there is a person in the village who has a person, in addition to the reputation, in the future, all kinds of welfare policies in the county will be inclined to the village, and the tax and conscription will also be taken care of, in addition, other villages will also look up to the village, and it will be much easier for the descendants of the village to marry a daughter-in-law.
