Chapter 291 Extremely Fickle Face

"And you, Ma Gou, hurry up to Lao Song's house and inform their family members, just say Erlin Zhongxiucai, the messenger from the yamen above has come down to report, let them come here quickly."

The guy named Ma Gou nodded repeatedly, turned around and ran away, but he only ran a few steps before being stopped by the second master, "Wait, Ma Gou."

Ma Gou wondered, and looked back, "What's the matter, Second Lord, but what else is there?"

The second master added in a hurry, "He sent the master to announce the good news, you must remember to remind the old lady of the Song family not to be picky, and prepare more money for rewards, so you can't sweep the face of our scholar, we are full of the face of the mountain village , In addition, you ask Er Linzi's father to look for it, and prepare some firecrackers, so that you will be very happy for a while."

Ma Gou murmured in his heart, this is not a festival, and there are no happy events in the village, which family will prepare firecrackers?
Ma Gou was a little at a loss and hesitated to move forward. He was so fiercely stared at by the second master. Ma Gou touched his nose quickly, responded aggrievedly, and then hurried to the old Song's house in the village.

Forget it, it's not their family's business, it's none of Song Erfa's business if he can't find the firecrackers, right?Anyway, he's just a reporter, and it's fine when the letter arrives. The bachelor's dog runs very fast.

Song Baochang, who was carried back by Goudan, after being slapped twice by Cheng Erye, spit out the phlegm that was fascinated, and finally woke up, and he didn't care about beating him with Cheng Erge, so he immediately Haha laughed, laughed wildly, showing off that his grandson was promising.

It was Cheng Erye who couldn't see it and reminded him that the business was important, and Song Baochang calmed down.

After hearing about his series of arrangements explained by Second Master Cheng, Song Baochang sincerely thanked Second Master Cheng.

In the blink of an eye, the messengers arrived at the entrance of the village with drums and gongs, and in the village, following the actions of Magou and the others, in an instant, the whole mountain village became noisy.

After inquiring, many villagers learned of the source of the excitement, and dropped their work one after another, and went to the entrance of the village to watch the excitement.

As for the Magou who ran to Lao Song's house without stopping to report the news, Zhou Caihua didn't believe it at first when he heard the good news, but then he heard the sound of gongs and drums coming from the direction of the village entrance, so Zhou Caihua reluctantly believed it. up.

However, Zhou Caihua was not happy about what Magou repeated, saying that she was asked to take money to the village entrance to reward the Yamen for the good news, and the boss Zhou Caihua was not happy.

It's still Magou who can't stand it. Seeing that Zhou Caihua is not moving, he said Huang Baojia in a hurry. The elders and the others went to the village entrance to meet people. Song Baochang was already very happy at the village entrance. This is the worst-tempered Cheng in the village. After the second master's words, Zhou Caihua's face showed struggle.

Song Erfa, a scumbag father, is used to being unreliable, but now that his son has been selected as a scholar, he will be honored as Song Erye when he goes out from now on, and he is no worse than that cowardly cousin next door , Song Erfa, who felt that his face was bright, was a bastard in the first place, so of course he understood his mother's peeing nature.

Knowing that appearance is important right now, Song Erfa suppressed the joy all over his body, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled his mother to persuade him.

"Mother, mother, you always know my father. My father is the most face-saving person on weekdays, but he also hopes that there will be a scholar in the family! And how my father envied the neighbor next door in the past, mother It's not that you don't know, now that my Erlang has been selected as a scholar, my father finally got his wish, and even the master came to announce the good news, mother, if you embarrass my father at this juncture, look back and see if my father won't deal with you .”

What Zhou Caihua said was a thrill.

Of course she knew what kind of urine that dead old man in her family was, and she also knew that her second son's words were not false.

So, Zhou Caihua stopped being hypocritical, and shook off her second son who was holding her hand, and gave the hateful son a fierce and painful look, then ran back to the room, opened the box, and prepared to withdraw money.

It's impossible to get silver, so you don't even need to think about it. For copper coins, I grabbed two slings in my hand before I put them away. Hanging money, hurried out of the house.

When she ran out, Magou was grabbing Song Erfa and telling Cheng Erye about the firecrackers.

When Song Erfa heard that Second Master Cheng wanted him to find firecrackers, he couldn't help hissing.

At this juncture, where should he go to find firecrackers?Isn't this embarrassing?
But when he thought that this was a happy event for his own son, Song Erfa frowned, and patted Magou on the shoulder, "Okay, thank you, Magou, you go back and tell the second master, just say I know, I'll go now alley."

Isn't it just firecrackers, even if it turns the whole village upside down, for the sake of his son, he has to get it.

Seeing his mother coming out, with both hands still protecting the pockets of his chest, Song Erfa hurriedly sent Magou to the side, and rushed forward with one stride, smiling playfully at Zhou Caihua.

"Mother, did you hear what Magou said just now? The second master ordered me to make firecrackers to make Erlang lively. Mother, you have to give your son some money."

When Zhou Caihua heard the words, she immediately jumped away defensively like a cat with fried hair, but she never escaped the quick hands of her young and strong son.

Song Erfa knew his mother-in-law very well, so he grabbed her as expected, stretched out his hand to hook her, and snatched a sling of money from Zhou Caihua's arms in an instant.

After grabbing it, Song Erfa ran away holding the money, talking while running.

"Okay mother, my son is going to buy firecrackers now, mother, don't chase me, you should go to the entrance of the village as soon as possible, don't make my father wait, if the son finds the firecrackers, go to the entrance of the village to meet you... "

Song Erfa ran so fast that he disappeared without a trace.

Zhou Caihua was so angry that her liver hurt, she touched her empty arms, stomped her feet and scolded her.

Ma Gou, who was unable to leave in time, was also dumbfounded by this scene.

Behind him, Song Dayi and his three daughters-in-law had already heard the movement, and each of them came out of their respective rooms, and they were all standing in the yard at the moment.

Seeing this situation, Song Dayou was the first to react. He also knew that his nephew Zhongxiucai was a big deal in the family, so he reminded his mother when he was busy.

"Mother, it's not the time to educate the second child right now. Dad is still waiting at the entrance of the village. Erlang Zhongxiucai is a big deal. Mother, let's quickly take the money and go to the village entrance to see how my father arranges it."

After receiving such a reminder from her eldest son, Zhou Caihua came to her senses.

Cursing and turning back to the room again, and cursing again with a bag of money, this time greeting the eldest son, leading the daughter-in-law, children and grandchildren behind, hurried to the entrance of the village.

When Zhou Caihua and the others came, Song Baochang had already coughed up phlegm, and was surrounded by the servants and neighbors who came to announce the good news, congratulating them and complimenting them.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou and her party coming over, Chief Song Bao hurriedly asked the old lady to give him money as a reward, but it took a long time for Mrs. Zhou to take out a penny, and Chief Song Bao’s face was a little dark on the spot, and the clerks who announced the good news didn’t look very happy when they saw it. Very nice.

Fortunately, Song Erfa, who came to set off the firecrackers afterwards, had a wink, and the firecrackers he got from the friends' house didn't cost any money.

He repeatedly claimed to be the father of Xiucai, and offered a sling of money in his arms. In addition, Huang Baojia and the elderly father and son who rushed over also generously donated money to the poor man who announced the good news. It looked better, but for Huang Baojia and Song Baochang who tried their best to save food, they didn't care to eat it.

"Okay, okay, my brothers have to go to other places to announce the good news, so we won't stay for dinner.", The rewards are so deducted, they don't dare to have illusions about this meal.

Song Baochang felt aggrieved, and hurriedly sent away the poor man who announced the good news with an apologetic smile. Hearing the sound of crackling firecrackers and the congratulations from the people around him, Song Baochang reluctantly suppressed his unhappiness towards the old woman, and waved his hand, rhetoric.

"The folks are happy, happy, everyone! When my family Erlang returns to the village, when the time comes, my old Song's house will invite you to come and have a drink. At that time, I will have to trouble the neighbors to hold hands. Come and sit at my house." .”

Everyone clasped their hands together, making fun of it, "Come on, come on."

When the excitement dissipated, Chief Song Bao led his family back home. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and he couldn't care less about scolding the old lady, so he started arranging work when he was busy.

Being suppressed by the next door for decades, Song Baochang, who was proud and elated, couldn't wait for a moment, he just wanted to let out a sigh of relief.

Even the lord Song Xinglin didn't know where he was at the moment, Song Baochang pressed Zhou Caihua to pay for the money, and arranged for the arrangement of the water table.

"This is the top priority of our old Song's family. Don't be vague. Boss, you go and call Dalang who is in the town home."

"Father, Dalang is still studying, and Zi Erlang hasn't come home yet, why are you calling him?" Facing the appointment of the old man, Luo Ximei quit when her son was involved.

It's just that at this juncture, when Luo Ximei said this, the reaction she got was different from before, Song Baochang immediately stopped scolding her, the eldest daughter-in-law, to save face.

"What do you read? Dalang has been reading books for more than ten years. He has read and read, but he hasn't even passed the exam for his family. He still reads? Read shit! Look at my Erlang, he only reads. How long has it been since the family has not provided for this child, Erlang is already a scholar, but Dalang is still a fart!"

Speaking of this, Song Baochang also always regretted it.

"Hmph, you go, big boy, give Dalang to me and call home quickly, don't say that old man who reads and perfunctory me is a brother of flesh and blood, Erlang has a happy event, he will be his brother's support, and he will have something in the future, it's okay Talk to Erlang, or it will be like Dalang used to be, Erlang has developed, do you know who he is?"

Hearing what his father said, Song Dayou felt that it was right and very reasonable, so he quickly nodded in response to what his father said.

Seeing this, Song Erfa picked his teeth and sneered again and again, but he thought about mocking Dafang for not being in his own light, but when he saw his father's sharp eye, Song Erfa shut his mouth wisely.

Song Baochang, who knew what kind of pee the second child in the family was, saw that his sons were well behaved, so he nodded in satisfaction and continued with his arrangement.

"Boss, after you bring Dalang back, take him in the village and borrow the tables, chairs and benches from every household. Just the Eight Immortals table in our house will not be enough for wine."

It turned out to be this matter, but... "Father, Erlang doesn't come home, isn't it too early for us to do this now?"

"Why so early, don't you get ready for such a big happy event, don't you have to wait for Erlang's family to come and arrange it yourself? Are you so brave to be uncles and fathers like this? How dare you let Mr. Xiucai arrange these in person ?

You have to know that Erlang is not the Erlang he used to be now, he is a scholar, a scholar!He is a scholar who can help his family exempt from taxes on [-] acres of fertile land, and can help the whole family exempt from small taxes, corvee, and military service!

If you ask you to do small things, you will be chattering, especially you, the second child, you are Erlang's real father!In the past, it was fine if you were out of tune, but now you still..."

Being called out suddenly, Song Erfa felt that he had been wronged extremely, and was full of dissatisfaction.

"Father! You're talking about yours. It's obviously the elder brother who is crooked. Why are you talking about me? I haven't said anything until now, and if I didn't pay the money in time today, I don't know how ugly the poor man who announces the good news will be." , How can you speak of my family Erlang behind your back, and sweep Erlang's face! You are good, you don't praise me for doing a good job, but you come to scold me. Is there such a partial father as you?"

Being bullied by Er'er, who is not stingy, Song Bao was very angry, but for Dabao Sun Erlang's sake, Song Baochang raised his hand and pointed at this bad guy, but he didn't scold again.

"Hmph, I don't know you yet! Forget it, I won't talk about you for the sake of being sensible and not causing trouble, but the second child, now that Erlang is promising, don't bully me anymore Grandson, don't forget the unconscionable things you did back then, the people in your house..."

Song Baochang's eyes fell on Zhou Yan who was standing behind his second son, who had been bowing his head in silence, and his tone couldn't help but increase.

"Second brother, you have to take good care of what you should take care of in your house, but don't let people bully my good grandson like before! I won't talk about those things before, but from now on , if anyone dares to bully and mistreat me Erlang again, and damage my reputation, then don't blame me Song Baochang for being rude!"

When the voice fell, Song Dayou and Song Erfa were fine, but Luo Ximei and Zhou Cai behind them stared and raised their mouths in dissatisfaction, but they didn't dare to talk back right now.

Song Baochang finished his persuasive warning by singing and beating, and then continued to arrange, "Okay, boss, you will go to the town to find Dalang's house in a while, as for your second child..."

Thinking of the shrewdness of the second son, it is impossible for Song Baochang to arrange for the second son to handle the purchase of money. He thought that after San'er's home came back, he would let San'er do these important things. Now that San'er has learned from experience, he is not stupid, and he is relieved to hand over the money to this son for purchasing.

As for the second child?

"Back when Zu Ge'er was a scholar, the neighbor next door was very arrogant, and he even invited the dragon and lion dance team to show off. Now we, Erlang, are also a dignified scholar, and we are no less than others. Why can't there be us next door? Erlang, you go, I will ask your mother to give you some set money later, you go and book the best dragon and lion dance team in the town first, and then invite two gong and drum classes, I don't believe it... ...", my house can't compare to the excitement next door!

Song Erfa naturally had nothing to say, so he responded immediately.

It turned out that Su and his party hurried back to the county, and then they said goodbye to their brother, and sent the third uncle Wulang to the house, saying that they should rest first and return to the village in two days.

Good guy, when Yu Su, Song Xinglin and Song Xiahe entered the village two days later, what greeted them was a different kind of excitement.

That posture, with the sound of firecrackers, the sound of gongs and drums, and the dance of dragons and lions, is even worse than when someone was selected as a scholar. It can be seen that the old Song family is suffocating in their hearts. Enthusiasm, there is no one else.
