Be a master through ancient times
Chapter 418 Family Tree
The next day, several hot portraits came out.The people in the painting are [-]-[-]% similar to the four members of Steward Zhao's family. Anyone who has seen them will be able to recognize them.
Lin Futong looked at the portraits on the table secretly luck, and this Chu Ci again, it's really deceiving!He finally understood why Chu Ci sent a message to him to be more careful when he first arrived. This person has a brain and skill, but he is not afraid of anything, but it is really a headache!
"Master Lin, I am afraid that Chu Ci has colluded with the imperial envoy for a long time." Qi Luzhi said from the side. He is Chu Ci's direct superior and knows his details better than others. When he went to Beijing to rush for the exam, the imperial envoy wrote him the letter of recommendation. And when the rewards were discussed that day, the imperial envoy left Chu Ci alone, and I don’t know what he said to him?"
"So, I said, how could he find the saltworks so quickly." Lin Futong's eyes were fierce, and he said Chu Ci's name with his teeth gritted.
Qi Lu looked at him directly, and couldn't help feeling a lot of pleasure in his heart.As long as you get rid of this Chu Ci, are you still afraid of that old man Du Yu?Now Tixue Division has almost no place for him to stand. This situation is very similar to when he first came.
I remember that when he came here, he was a Zhengti student appointed by the imperial court, and Du Yu was just promoted from the state capital.But those people didn't know what was going on, they actually obeyed Du Yuyan, but turned a deaf ear to his orders.How could he tolerate being deprived of his rights?
At that time, he was quite high-spirited, and he didn't think about any means. He also wanted to do a few things to convince everyone, so that everyone could recognize his ability.It's a pity that the new method teaching he promoted was incompatible with this Southern Fujian student. In the county examination of that year and the township examination of the next year, he got the worst results in history.
At that time, the chief examiner in charge of the provincial examination in Southern Fujian Province reported the situation of the rural examination in Southern Fujian Province directly to the main hall. The first emperor was furious and wanted to remove him from his post.The current Prime Minister of the Left, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials at that time, stood up and stated the customs and customs of Nanfu Province. He also said that Nanfu Province has a vast territory, and it may be difficult for one person to govern, so it is better to promote one more person to take charge of each side.
Although this move kept his position, it also created a strong enemy for him.That Duyu got the election and served as another Zhengti student.He was already very good at attracting people's hearts when he was still an official, not to mention now that he is a student.
Those were the bleakest five years of his life.A high-spirited and ambitious official, he almost lived a life like being idle at home. At that time, people only knew Du Yu, but not Qi Luzhi.
Of course, he didn't give up either.At that time, Minister of the Ministry of Officials had been promoted to the position of Prime Minister of the Left, and this official who had begged for him at the beginning was the one he wanted to try hard to curry favor with.He desperately collected those rare treasures and sent them over, and finally one day he moved that one.The man came with a letter, although there were only four words on it, "Be safe and don't be impatient", but it made him very relieved, and he began to look forward to his future life.
In September, the officials were changed, and the original governor, Mr. Zhu, went home to be raised because of his advanced age.And the newly appointed governor is Mr. Lin Futong.As soon as he came, he began to make drastic changes, and he would bring him with him no matter what banquet he attended.Gradually, everyone knew that the newly appointed Governor Lin was very fond of him.
For a province, the governor is the local emperor here. If anyone offends him, there will be no good fruit to eat.There are more and more acquaintances, and soon, Qi Luzhi also has many fans in the Department of Education.
And it was Du Yu's resolute refusal to follow Governor Lin's request to start a new teaching reform in the whole province that established him as the leader of the Department of Education.In a rage, Master Lin directly took away the financial power from Du Yu.
Seeing that several years of good life have passed comfortably, Du Yu was suppressed by him so that no one knew about it, so he felt very happy.However, since that Chu Ci came, the situation seems to be slowly changing again.Especially not long ago, after Mr. Lin was involved in the spy case, it made him even more anxious.
Fortunately, there was good news from the imperial court. As long as Na Muqin didn't get caught and found evidence, then no one could shake Mr. Lin's position, and he was naturally the one who said nothing about Ti Xuesi.Just get rid of Chu Ci!
……
Chu Ci naturally didn't know how to deal with him over there. He was in the Zhangzhou mansion at this time, holding a letter in his hand and smiling.
The letter was sent from Yuanshan County, his hometown. When he heard the news, he quickly returned to Zhangzhou by boat.The letter said that his sister-in-law had given birth to a pair of twins five days ago, and the big event of the Chu family adding a baby naturally made Chu Ci happy.By the way, they want Chu Ci to send back two names, and when the child is full moon, they can take the child to the ancestral hall for the family tree.
The members of the Chu family are thin, and they came here as refugees, so the genealogy has long been impossible to test.Ever since Chuci won Juren, the Chu family has established a separate family tree.At that time, someone in the village suggested that Chuci be the head of the family.But Chu Ci sternly rejected him, saying that he was raised by his widowed mother and brother-in-law, how could he be the head of the family regardless of the status of the elders?Therefore, Chu Guang was appointed as the head of the family.
It turned out that in this family tree, there were only six people including Shanshan who was a few months old. Now that the team has grown to two people, how can everyone not be overjoyed?
After reading the letter, Chu Ci immediately went out to share the good news with everyone.When Chu Xiaoyuan knew that he was an older brother again, he was so happy that he couldn't see his teeth, but then he thought of something, and his expression was gloomy.Zhong Liyu was also happy at first, but when he suddenly sensed his emotions, he touched his hand quietly and asked, "Brother Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xiaoyuan pulled the corner of his mouth reluctantly and shook his head.
Zhong Liyu frowned slightly: "Brother Xiaoyuan, what's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly unhappy?"
Chu Xiaoyuan hesitated again and again, just when he was about to speak, Chu Ci's voice sounded from the side: "Do you miss home?"
Chu Xiaoyuan was taken aback for a moment: "Uncle, how do you know?" He thought he was covering up well.
Chu Ci smiled lightly: "Because my uncle also misses home."
"However, it is said in the book that a good man has ambitions everywhere..." So he didn't dare to say that he was homesick, for fear that others would laugh at him for being petty.
Chu Ci stared at Chu Xiaoyuan. He remembered that when he first arrived that year, the child had only reached his thigh. At that time, he was innocent but very sensible. At a young age, he knew how to raise chickens and lay eggs to make ends meet.Now that he has grown to the bottom of his chest, he can also read and write, and understands things better, but he is not like the little sparrow before, always chattering around his uncle.
Chu Ci put his hand on his head and patted it lightly: "A good man's ambition is everywhere because he wants to protect his family and the country with all his abilities. But if he doesn't have a small family in his heart, how can he keep everyone safe? Since we I'm already homesick, how about my uncle taking you back before your two siblings are full moon?"
Chu Xiaoyuan was very excited, with tears in his eyes, but there were Yu'er and Jingshu who were younger than him, so he was too embarrassed to cry.
Zhong Liyu held his hand and pursed his lips, looking unhappy, presumably he didn't want to be separated from Chu Xiaoyuan.And Lu Jingshu covered her mouth and secretly smiled.
Chu Ci turned his head and said to Lu Jingshu, "Jingshu will also go back with me and write her name on the family tree."
Lu Jingshu blinked blankly, and when she realized it, her face immediately flushed red with excitement.She now understands what it means to have a family tree. It turned out that when she was in that family, even her mother didn't have a family tree.
"After writing down the family tree, don't call him adoptive father anymore, can you just call him daddy?" Chu Ci bent down and said warmly. Every time the little girl called him foster father, Chu Ci had a very strange feeling. It always feels like being in some kind of martial arts world.
Lu Jingshu was a little shy, and called "Daddy" in a low voice. After Chu Ci kindly agreed, her face turned even redder.Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Father, do you want to change your surname after entering the family tree?" Lu Jingshu's eyes were full of sadness, but she also knew that the family tree was full of people with the same surname.
"Do you want to change it?"
Lu Jingshu lowered her head and remained silent for a long time.
"If you don't change it, maybe you won't be able to enter the family tree. Didn't you always want to have a real family?" Ah Qing is older than Lu Jingshu, and she knows more about the world. She knows that in many big families, the old people are very stubborn. , then whispered to her.
Lu Jingshu was still silent, and then she shook her head firmly. She was adopted by her grandfather. If it wasn't for her grandfather, she would have been sold by her uncle for a long time. How could she still be able to read and write like she is now?Grandpa left her a lot, but nothing could compare to the name he gave her and the surname he bestowed on her.If possible, she hopes that she can be called Lu Jingshu for the rest of her life, instead of being called "Zhang Wangshi" or "Gao Lishi" like the aunt next door.
"Then don't change it."
Lu Jingshu suddenly raised her head, and bumped into a pair of eyes full of appreciation and love.
"I didn't expect us Jingshu to have such a strong character at such a young age. Your name was obtained by an old man from Juyeshan. It has far-reaching meaning and should be preserved. If you don't change your surname, you are also my daughter."
Chu Ci successfully made two people cry.Seeing that Zhong Liyu also began to flatten his lips, Chu Ci hurriedly said: "This time, everyone will go back to Xijiang Province. I haven't been home for more than two years since I became an academic officer. This time, I must wait longer."
The big guys were all happy when they heard that, they still prefer Xijiang province to Nanfu province.There is the homeland that most of them cannot be separated from for the rest of their lives.
"However, I'm afraid it won't work these days." Chu Ci poured cold water on it again.
"why not?"
"I am weaving a net, waiting for the fish to take the bait. I will not be reconciled if I don't catch this big fish." Chu Ci said with a smile.
"Weaving a web?" Several younger children still didn't understand what it meant, but Chang Xiao and Fu Ming'an were thoughtful and didn't know what they were thinking.
At this time, Zhang Hu, who was standing next to Butler Xu, suddenly slapped his forehead and rushed into the kitchen.Everyone was confused by his actions. Could it be that Duo was hungry after hearing it?
After a while, Zhang Hu explained the confusion to everyone.I saw him holding a bucket and copying a handful of fishing nets with the other hand, and said excitedly: "Master, you don't need to weave a net, you have it at home! Recently, Lao Guotou's house opened a pond. If you want to eat fish, I'll catch it for you!" "
Everyone was amused by him and laughed, Zhang Hu didn't know why, so he also smirked.
That night, there was a big fish on the table.
Lin Futong looked at the portraits on the table secretly luck, and this Chu Ci again, it's really deceiving!He finally understood why Chu Ci sent a message to him to be more careful when he first arrived.
