Chapter 1311: Returning Home
With Song Chongjin's approval, He Changshou consciously had a glorious face, and hurriedly made a gesture, asking Song Chongjin to move his noble feet and move to the mouth of the alley.
As soon as he got out of the alley, Song Chongjin found that on the street outside, there had long been a loess paving, sprinkling water to clean the street, and it was exceptionally clean and tidy.
There were people on both sides of the road, and in the middle of the road there was a small group of people, with red silk around their waists, beating gongs and drums, and behind them, there was a sedan chair, which was also tied with red silk, and eight sedan chairmen with big shoulders and round waists were waiting on the side.
Not far away, there were also a few spiritual guys, holding tall bamboo poles with long firecrackers on them.
As soon as he saw Song Chongjin come out, he suddenly exploded like a scoop of cold water poured into a frying pan.
For a while, firecrackers rang out in unison, and gongs and drums were noisy.
He Changshou took a group of people, and he had already knelt in front of Song Chongjin, bowing his head and bowing: "See Lord Song!" ”
The onlookers on both sides of the road looked stupid, and when they saw the mayor and the people kneeling, they also called their lords, and they all knelt down in confusion, and shouted three times: "See your lord!" ”
The voice spread far away, and the people in the distance couldn't see what was happening in front of them, but they only saw the people in front of them kneeling down, shouting to see the adults, and they all knelt down.
At this moment, the idlers behind the convoy and the mothers-in-law with broken mouths were dumbfounded.
This, even the mayor of the town has knelt down, is he really an official?
One by one, they were scared and afraid, and they all knelt down, especially those who had just said a few sour words, they were trembling all over at the moment, and the whole person was lying on the ground, not even daring to come out.
Song Chongjin had to try to make himself more serious, but he was born with a black face, and it was as if he didn't pay back the eight hundred taels of silver owed to him, plus he was trained by Gu Changqing and Song Hong in the capital, and now he is going there so calmly, and he really has a bit of official authority.
He only nodded, and said without distinguishing joy and anger: "Get up!" ”
Only then did He Changshou shout again: "Lord Xie Song! ”
Only then did he get up.
The people behind him also shouted: "Lord Xie Song! ”
For a while, the birds on the trees on the side of the road flew towards the sky.
Mrs. Zhang was in the car, looking at the scene in front of her, and she couldn't close her mouth with joy.
In the past, I only saw it in the drama, and those champions returned to their hometowns, and the pomp and circumstance made people smack.
But after all, it was on the stage, and there were only a few people.
Now look at your son-in-law, this row, this posture, look at the people who are kneeling down all over the street, this is called returning home!
Just this scene, this pomp, when she returns to Qilidun, she can blow for a month.
Let the old ladies in the village also see and understand.
Over there, He Changshou had already invited Song Chongjin to sit in a sedan chair, and it stands to reason that he should enter the Confucian Temple by beating gongs and drums, meet the Confucian saints, and go to the Kuixing Gate.
Then the neighbors will come forward to congratulate and ask for good luck.
But where are the Confucian temples and Confucian saints in this town? Therefore, He Changshou simply simplified, and only let Song Chongjin wear red and green, sit in a sedan chair, and parade around the streets.
Song Chongjin looked at the sedan chair full of red silk and resisted very much.
He Changshou was still chattering and persuading on the side, saying that this was so powerful, and asked Song Chongjin to open the sedan curtains, so that everyone could see the demeanor of Lord Song.
The corners of Song Chongjin's mouth twitched, eager to plug He Changshou's mouth.
But he also knew that He Changshou was the right way to return to his hometown, and there were only more exaggerated things elsewhere.
Therefore, even if he was unwilling, he had to reluctantly get on the sedan chair.
Sitting stiffly, the sedan chair drivers were full of anger, lifted the sedan chair up, raised their heads one by one, and the red silk on their chests reflected their red faces, looking at it with joy.
The sedan chair walked forward slowly, passing through the alley, Wang Yongzhu looked at Song Chongjin, who was stiff and loveless in the sedan chair, and smiled very unsympathetically.
also deliberately shook his hand at Song Chongjin, and when he saw Song Chongjin looking over, he said silently: "Come on!" Then he smiled and lowered the carriage curtain.
Song Chongjin was so angry that he only gritted his teeth, and wanted to reply, but when the sedan chair went forward, it was not easy to turn his head, so he had to stop.
The people on the roadside, whether they are setting up stalls, carrying burdens and walking, roadside workshops and shops, or people who come out early in the morning to buy vegetables and work, all congratulate and do not mention it.
Song Chongjin sat in the sedan chair, and thanked the people around him from time to time.
Watching the sedan chair slowly move forward, the leading personal soldiers hurriedly gave two orders, leaving half of them to guard the convoy, and the rest of the people followed to protect.
Although this is the place where the prince grew up, but now the identity of the prince is different, and he can't slack off, if something really happens, I'm afraid that they will all have to apologize for their sins with death!
Wang Yongzhu knew that this parade would not end for a while, and their carriage stopped at the entrance of this alley blocking the way in and out, and the people inside did not dare to go out, and the people outside were afraid to come in if they wanted to.
He simply ordered the carriage to be turned back into the previous courtyard.
Anyway, there was nothing to do, Wang Yongzhu asked people to guard the gate, so he asked Du Zhijun to come.
Du Yuanjun still hasn't come back to his senses at the moment, he only knew that reading is good, the so-called book has its own golden house, and the book has its own Yan Ruyu.
I also know that this study and imperial examination is the right way, if you can go to high school, you will be able to become an official in the future.
He didn't see the champion parade in the capital once every three years, and he didn't feel it at that time, but he only felt envious and lively.
At this moment, seeing this scene, he felt something different, and he couldn't say it for a while, but he knew that it was different!
Hearing Wang Yongzhu call him, he came over a little unwillingly, saluted, and asked him to sit down.
Wang Yongzhu said: "I saw your little uncle parade on the street today, how do you feel?" ”
Du Yuanjun looked at Wang Yongzhu with some doubts: "Little aunt, I don't understand why in the capital, I won the champion, and everyone just watched the excitement and envied two sentences." ”
"But here, my uncle is not the champion, but after returning to his hometown, he has such a prestige! The people around them, they don't know the little uncle, but they are really happy for the little uncle, and they really congratulate the little uncle! But why, there are still some people who are so scared? Why is this happening? ”
Wang Yongzhu raised his eyebrows, it seems that this kid is not as unteachable as the master said.
Therefore, he smiled and asked instead of answering: "Do you know why your father sent you out of the capital?" Why did your grandfather entrust you to us? ”
Du Yuanjun hesitated for a moment before saying: "It's because my grandfather and grandmother are old and need to be taken care of by relatives." In the past, there was a little aunt here, but you were about to go to Chicheng with your little uncle, there was no one around them, and my father and mother were not at ease, so I came to Jing County. ”
Wang Yongzhu sneered: "This is what your father told you?" ”
Du Yuanjun bowed his head and acquiesced.
"What about you? What do you think? Wang Yongzhu asked.
Du Yuanjun didn't speak, only looked down at the tip of his shoe.
"If you don't say it, I won't answer your question." Wang Yongzhu said lightly.
Du Yuanjun struggled for a long time before he muttered: "Yes, it's because my mother acted inappropriately and offended the little aunt." In order to teach my mother a lesson, my father also kept me away from my mother, fearing that my mother would teach me badly, so he sent me to Jing County. ”
