Chapter 64: Stepping Stones and the Little Villain's Dad (5)
To Daya's stunned mouth, Wu Qun stepped forward and touched her little head and said, "Reading can be sensible, even if you are a woman and can't take scientific exams, it is still very useful."
"Dad, then I'll learn. I'll learn with Goudan." Daya smiled faintly, even the smile on the child's happy face was faint.
"Dad, I also want to learn with my sister." Goudan is young and doesn't know what these are, but it's no problem to follow inspiration.
Wu Qun kissed this and hugged the other, feeling distressed, how could these two children be so cute.
These two children are well educated, and they will definitely become great things in the future.
It's already September, and the list is finally released. On this day, Wu Qun is already teaching Baijia surnames to Daya and Goudan. There is no "Three Character Classic" or "Disciple Rules" here. About Enlightenment Wu Qun did not break away from this era, but followed it.
"Dong Dong Dong!"
Wu Qun opened the door, and Father Xie stared at Wu Qun and shouted, "It's released, Mr. Wu."
Wu Qun blinked and said: "Dad, it's too crowded to go there at this time, I'll go when there are fewer people, I'll be crazy and happy when I pass the test, and no one will see it; if I don't pass the test, I won't be lost alone. Someone told me."
"You have as many reasons as you can, go ahead. I don't care about the time, I'll watch the child." Father Xie rolled his eyes. It was true that the emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch. If it wasn't for a good time these days, he would give it to her mother-in-law. After the child is cured, he will not come.
"Alright, alright, don't worry." Wu Qun still liked the old man very much. He was friendly but not bad-hearted.
Before the two had left the inn, they heard gongs and drums walking towards here.
Wu Qun was still walking out, and Father Xie pulled Wu Qun: "Qunzhi, it's not that you passed the exam, are you here to announce the good news?"
Father Xie trotted happily and went outside to take a look. Wu Qun followed behind and shook his head. This is not the first prize. Where will the news be delivered to the door? Besides, when they took the test, they did not report the candidates to live in. Where is it, how is it possible?
Boom! Boom!
The sound of the gong stopped at the entrance of the inn, and the official in black and red clothes folded his hands and looked at Father Xie and said, "Xie Dong's house, Wu Qunzhi, but in your house? Hurry up and ask, he understands Yuan. ."
"Yo, thank you sir, Xie Yuan is not in Xiao Lao'er's shop. Look." Father Xie hurriedly replied and saluted.
"Come on Qunzhi, come on, you've won, the first name is Jie Yuan." Father Xie was happier than Wu Qun himself. Immediately told the guy in the store to put a red coat on the inn.
Wu Qun stepped forward to thank the officials, took the seal, and gave the reward with money and said, "I'm sorry to bother you for a trip. I'm poor, please don't despise this tea money."
Wu Qunyuan gave a total of one or two silver coins, which is a bit shabby here, but the officers, who didn't dislike it at all, smiled and shouted to Father Xie: "Father Xie, you will have free tea in the future. Our Lord Xie Yuan has all come out here, you can't be too stingy."
Wu Qun cupped his hands and saw that the officer who was talking was familiar with Father Xie, so he stopped talking.
In the middle of understanding Yuan, Wu Qun himself hasn't done anything yet. Father Xie said: "Thanks to Duke Xie Yuan for not giving up, this little old man will set up a few tables of banquets, and I would like to invite everyone to appreciate your face. Be sure to patronize."
Father Xie shouted this to all the people outside. Wu Qun shook his head and smiled. He has become the signboard in Father Xie's shop, and in the next three years, his shop will probably become a first-class shop in Mozhou City.
Father Xie, let's set up the running water table. Wu Qun didn't participate, but he ate enough. After a series of visits, he went to visit him. This one had to go. He seemed to be a local official and wanted to apprentice by the way.
Wu Qun didn't plan to apprentice, and after attending all kinds of gatherings peacefully, they said goodbye one by one, and then left Mozhou.
When they left, Father Xie and Grandma Xie were 10,000 uneasy children, and they were more concerned than their eldest grandson.
When Wu Qun arrived in Liuhe Town, the news had already arrived at Wujiazhuang, and at this moment the whole village was waiting for Wu Qun to return. But Wu Qun took the children and was shopping.
This time they had a carriage and money. Many of the things in Wu Qun's hands can be used openly.
The first thing to do when returning home is to worship the ancestors and inform the ancestors that someone in their old Wu family has a reputation.
The second thing is to thank the local parents and officials, and the third thing is to repair the house.
Wu Qunchun didn't know when he would take up the post to fill the official vacancy in the future. His house was repaired after the government learned that he knew Yuan in the middle, and now it is only in rush.
Now the entire land of Wujiazhuang is in his name, so that the people in the village do not have to pay taxes, otherwise it would be like when Wu Qun first arrived, after the autumn harvest, every household was reluctant to eat food.
Wu Qun took the examination for fame and completely changed his family. Liu Da wanted to find bad luck, but was also crushed by the local county officials. In their county, Jie Yuan from Mozhou, the state capital, has an unlimited future.
After Wu Qun stayed in Wujiazhuang for a few days, he moved to the county seat. Wu Baogui sent someone to follow him, and also selected a family who had served as servants for a large family to take care of it.
Wu Qun did not refuse. These two have no children, no land, and life is not easy. Come to him, make people feel at ease, and still have a full stomach.
The house was built very quickly, especially Wu Qun's. In November, he moved in.
Daya has an official name, Wu Jingshu. From the Book of Songs "Quiet Girl", Daya was very happy.
Goudan also officially gave up the name and changed his name to Wu Hongxuan, which was started by Lizheng Wu Baogui, saying that he saw Wu Qun talking about it before.
Wu Hongxuan's fifth birthday was extraordinarily lively, and the whole village came. Even Ziyou, who was far away from the south, sent a gift to a gentleman who knew martial arts—Little San Ziyu.
It was also from this winter that Daya and Goudan began to practice martial arts.
Wu Qun didn't want to, but it was said that the junior three retired and became a free citizen.
Whether it's true or not, Wu Qun took the favor.
The end of the year is coming, and Wu Qun is now a family of six. There are a lot of things to buy, and they will be done soon. However, as soon as he arrived in the town, he was grabbed by the arm of a big man and begged bitterly.
"Sir, I finally found you, can you help me write a letter to my mother, telling her that I have received the winter clothes she gave me." The big man looks like he is relatively wealthy, but why does he look like this? There are a lot of ghostwriters, so you can't find anyone.
Wu Qun was stunned for a while, Ziyu squinted for a long time, sighed, and asked Wu Qun to help write a letter to the family. He has experienced such things too many meetings, and the scholar who came out to write on his behalf will not be as talkative as Wu Qun. , would write in such a degrading manner. In their eyes, the more jerky and incomprehensible, the better the representative knowledge, but they don't need it at all. The family members are illiterate and incomprehensible.
Wu Qun found a place to write and read it for the person. Just as he was about to leave, a group of people gathered around, each with a face of expectation, and consciously put down the copper plate and queued up.
Wu Qun frowned, what's going on? Does he want to continue writing?
"Father, write slowly, don't be in a hurry." Da Ya walked forward with her new clothes and said with a smile.
Goudan followed Ziyu and nodded with a sullen face. The people in the queue laughed.
Daya and Goudan are taken care of, and Wu Dezhong and his wife have already bought the things. Just waiting for Wu Qun to finish writing and go back.
Suddenly there was a shout from the crowd: "Gong Xie Yuan, why are you writing family letters here? Are you nervous about money? I still have it here, you can use it with confidence."
Liu Da was actually shaking a fan in the winter, and he was wrapped in a thick rabbit fur coat, but it was weird how he looked.
"Is there something wrong with Mr. Liu?" Wu Qun glanced sideways, still writing a letter with a pen. It was him who was yin and yang just now.
"It's okay, it's okay, you are Xie Yuan now, and the county magistrate must show courtesy when he sees you. How dare I compete with you as a commoner." Liu Da looked like he was beaten, and wanted to say extremely sarcastic words.
"I know it's Wu Jieyuan, so hurry up and walk away, I don't have to be suspicious, and I didn't see Duke Xie Yuan writing a letter to everyone." The large man in the queue stared at Liu Da and shouted. .
Liu Da glared at the man but closed his mouth obediently. Without him, the man was carrying a large knife on his back, the blood on it was very eye-catching, and his whole body had a **** smell.
"Let's go, let's go." Liu Da ran out at the fastest speed with Xiaoxiao.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and call our family back. Today, I must block this junk in the town and can't put it back." Liu Da said to the servant behind him with a dark face.
"Master, this Wu Qun is now Xie Yuan, we can't move, or we can do it again when he is on his way to Beijing to take the exam?" The servant next to Liu Da suggested smugly.
Liu Da squeezed his fan and turned his eyes, then nodded, and took his minions away, but he didn't expect that their conversation would be heard by others.
The man immediately ran in and told Wu Qun.
The people who were lining up to write the letter were all stunned. The **** big man just now stood up and said, "Don't worry, Duke Xie Yuan, my brothers and I will accompany you when you go to spring in a few days. , he dares to send someone to kill you, one to kill one, one pair to kill another pair."
"Mr. Wu is here to thank you for your kindness. It's getting late, so don't queue up later. If you have any requests, I'll simply write them down for you." Wu Qun watched more and more people sincerely A little scared, he wanted to go back and clean up for the New Year.
"It's the front, don't listen to so many requests, write what's important, just announce the good news, you don't need to tell your family about your worries, I didn't see the children of Duke Xie Yuan's family waiting by the side, how fast, how fast ." The people in the back urged actively, and the people in front also speeded up.
Finally, Wu Qun wrote all the letters, explained them one by one, and then took the children home. In the small town, some stories of Duke Xie Yuan, who lowered his worth to help the people, began to circulate.
Shangjing is far from here, at least it takes two months to travel, and Wu Qun has to take the child with him again, for fear that he will miss the Spring Festival. Li Zheng had already warned him early, and also asked Wu Dezhong and his wife to prepare for the trip. I'm afraid that Wu Qun will also be on the way this year, but this is also something that can't be helped. Chunwei waits for no one.
For the first time, Wu Qun considered whether to keep the two children at home, but then he thought about it. Now that he is not short of money, why not take the two children for a walk and see the world.
As usual, he told Li Zhengyi what he thought, and the old man agreed without saying a word. He simply asked Wu Dezhong and his wife to go to the capital with them, which was convenient for taking care of them.
This year, the people in the village have lived a very prosperous life. After Wu Qun changed his family, the people in the entire village were also prosperous.
Because of Wu Qun's existence this year, every household has been very happy.
Since this year, the Wu family finally has a family study. Wu Qun has already contacted the husband, and he can teach in the spring. How can we not make them happy, as a parent, don’t you expect your children to be successful? Every parent wants their children to be able to read and become successful.
The people in the village did not suspect that Wu Qun's money came from the wrong way. I have never considered Wu Qun, who has changed his family. Why does he have a lot of money?
Finally, after the Chinese New Year, Wu Qun led a group of people into a cold inn. Borrowed their kitchen.
On this day, Wu Jingshu and Wu Hongxuan put on new clothes, and Wu Qun ran around in a beaming position. Ziyu looked at Wu Qun with a laughter and a spoon, wearing an apron, and cooked one dish after another.
The New Year's Eve dinner was very rich, which made Wu Qun feel very emotional. When he first came, he couldn't even eat his stomach.
Wu Qun watched the children happy, and his heart was very happy. He thought that the time would be happy if it were like this, but unfortunately he couldn't. He had to work hard to move up and up, in order to ensure the safety and joy of his two children.
On the 15th day of the first lunar month, Wu Qun arrived in a small town not far from the capital. He and Ziyu took Jingshu and Hongxuan to the lantern market in the town, guessed lantern riddles, got lanterns, and bought two of them. Candy man who likes to eat.
"Qunzhi, when you go forward, it is within the scope of Shangjing. I think that you can talk to the emperor when you reach the Golden Palace." Ziyu said casually.
Wu Qun held Hongxuan and listened without saying a word.
Their journey along the way has not been peaceful. They have not met anyone who has been robbed, but they did meet someone sent by Liu Da. They were beaten and killed by Li Yong, the man who guarded Cheng Ruo and accompanied Wu Qun to Beijing. Keeping a leader is just to go to the capital to complain. Xie Yuan may not have enough weight, so what if he becomes a second-class jinshi?
"Let's discuss this matter. Let's go and go back. After a while, the children can't handle the chaos." Wu Qun was holding the dog egg, oh no, Hongxuan never let go, and Jingshu, who was holding his hand, never gave it away. .
After that night, Wu Qun suddenly found that his arm didn't hurt and he didn't have any burden at all.
He silently thanked Bai You in his heart.
Dongxiao's Bai You sensed this thank you, and the corners of his mouth rose into a smile. In an instant, the peach blossom behind him lost its color. Wu Qun could not see or know all of this.
Finally arrived in Shangjing at the end of January, Li Yong and his brother clasped their fists and left.
Wu Qun took a large family to the courtyard that Ziyu had rented a long time ago.
As soon as you enter the yard, there are three large houses, a kitchen, a firewood house, and a big yellow dog. The neighbor next door is also a scholar who came to take the exam. Wu Qun didn't plan to make friends now, he just wanted to settle the two babies.
On the ninth day of the second lunar month, the Spring and Autumn seasons begin, and there are nine consecutive days, with no faults in the middle.
Before the exam, Wu Qun specially told Wu Jingshu and Wu Hongxuan to listen to Wu Dezhong's words, not to go anywhere, and to wait at home for him to come back.
Jingshu has experienced such a scene, and she has already responded with ease. Hongxuan only needs to be accompanied by her sister, but Wu Dezhong and the three of them are a little uncomfortable with Wu Qun's absence.
"Brother, it's already the seventh day, what do you think about Qunzhi?" Ziyu leaned against the pillar with his arms folded and watched the two children practice martial arts.
"It should be alright. He prepared so much food and wore thick enough clothes. He brought the quilt and ink." Wu Dezhong was also worried. He and his daughter-in-law were entrusted by the whole village to take care of Wu Qunzhi. Unexpectedly, Wu Qun took care of him along the way. The medicine that her daughter-in-law is taking now is all bought by Wu Qun, and even the prescription is prescribed by him.
"Should I wait to go ahead? If a group of people get dizzy when they come out, someone has to move home." Ziyu pinched her fingers nervously.
"Master, uncle Zhong, don't be nervous, Daddy is very powerful, it will be fine." Wu Hongxuan said with a sullen face, looking at the two men stabbing the wooden sword.
The two of them were comforted by a child, and their faces were a little embarrassing. After a few dry coughs, Wu Dezhong went to work, and Ziyu continued to teach them martial arts.
He didn't know why Wu Qun wanted his children to learn martial arts, even Daya did, but he knew that when Wu Qun and Ziyou met and chatted, they mentioned it deliberately. So he came.
On the ninth day, Jingshu and Goudan had been urging the adults in the family to pick up their father since the morning. The two of them were helping Auntie, burning fire and boiling water to cook.
In short, after returning home, the little housekeeper Jing Shu has done everything his father needs with the help of Auntie.
"Auntie, why hasn't my father come back yet?" Jing Shu looked at the gloomy sky and asked.
"I heard that in the evening, how about you write a few words and let your father see when you come back?" Auntie Chunhua was illiterate, but she was a maid in a big family and knew more than the average person.
Wu Jingshu nodded and didn't bother about Auntie's name. Although she liked her father's name, Shui didn't have a nickname.
Goudan has practiced over and over again, and he doesn't feel that practicing swords is tiring at all, but finds it fun. But when night fell, he was also in a hurry.
"Auntie, my father, why haven't they come back yet?" Goudan anxiously tugged at Auntie's collar and asked.
"Why don't you and my sister eat the dog eggs first. When your father comes back, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of you two." Chunhua had just finished speaking when she heard someone knocking on the door.
"Who?" the two children asked in unison.
"Chunhua opens the door, Qunzhi is back." Wu Dezhong's voice came in from outside the door, and the two children ran quickly to open the door.
Even when they were so excited, the two babies lay in the crack of the door and watched for a while, only to open the door after realizing that they were their own.
Wu Qun looked at the two children, hugged them, kissed them, and said, "Daddy is a little stinky. Will I be with you when I wash them?"
"Dad, you've worked hard, why don't you eat first while you're bathing and changing?" Jing Shu asked Wu Qun's hand.
"That's right, after you wash your food and it's cool, you should eat first and then go to bathe and change."
