Chapter 477 The big happy event

"Well, listen to Miss." Although Yu Damei knew what Qingzhu meant, she didn't say anything, just nodded, looked at Qingzhu and responded.

Together with Sister Yu, Qingzhu first sewed the four corners of the quilt to fix them, and then began to sew other places.

Sister Yu's stitches are even and smooth. In contrast, the green bamboo's stitches are of different lengths. Although she tried her best to sew them more neatly, and even compared the sizes with her hands, she was always a bit erratic. Finally Can only let it go.

After the two men sewed most of the quilt, someone came to invite Qing Zhu and the others to have dinner at the ancestral hall.

Qingzhu and the others put down their work and went to the ancestral hall with the visitor, because the visitor was holding torches, there should have been quite a few there, so Qingzhu and the others did not take the lamps anymore.

When I arrived at the ancestral hall, I could only see the top of the dam outside the ancestral hall, which was already covered with darkness. Basically, all the old and young people in the village came here.

Inside the dam, some bamboo poles were set up, and many torches were inserted on top of the bamboo poles, so it looked bright.

Someone saw Qingzhu and his party and shouted: "Qingzhu is here." Immediately, many people came to welcome him.

In order not to be rude, Qingzhu and Qingshan quickly walked a few steps, and when they got close, they took the lead in greeting the villagers.The elders in the village saw that Qingzhu and Qingshan were so sensible, they were all happy and praised them.

It stands to reason that Qingzhu is a woman and cannot enter the ancestral hall, but because she is a person of status now, Xia Mingfu deliberately said, let Qingzhu also go to the ancestral hall and sit on the table, and everyone else nodded in agreement.

Qingzhu shied away a few times, and then walked into the ancestral hall under the leadership of the elders of the clan.

The inside of this ancestral hall is different from the outside, only the upper seats are placed, and the tables are all high-quality Eight Immortal tables carried from the village head and patriarch's house, which looks much better than the outside.

There are also more dishes on the table.

When Qingzhu just walked all the way, he saw that the dishes on the tables outside, although it is rare for farmers to eat a few times, they have more meat and less vegetables, but the dishes inside are basically meat dishes , even if it is fried with meat and vegetables, the big meat slices look much better than those outside.

In the eyes of the people of Xiajia Village, these big meat slices are all good things, so they naturally have to go to the upper table, but Qingzhu has always been a vegetarian at night, after watching it, he smiled bitterly in his heart.

But this kind of thing is hard to say. After all, people respect you and see that you are a great hero of the old Xia family, so they give you such dignity and treatment. If you say you don't like it, it will definitely make people unhappy. .

So although Qingzhu smiled wryly in his heart, but with a moved and even terrified expression on his face, he said: "Why is it so rich? It really cost the family, they are all from our own family, just eat some home-cooked food, this is called Qingzhu I'm ashamed."

Of course, in fact, what Qing Zhu said is not a lie, no matter what is the reason why these people are so enthusiastic about her and Qing Shan, but the enthusiasm is real, not fake at all.

"What's the matter, let's treat it as another new year for everyone. Anyway, when you come back, the faces of the ancestors of our old Xia family are all radiant. That is more festive than the new year." Xia Mingfu looked at the green bamboo and smiled. said.

When other people heard the words, they also echoed one after another. Even children clapped their hands and said yes, yes.

Seeing this, Qingzhu bowed to the patriarch Xia Mingfu, and said, "Thank you third uncle, thank you second uncle, and thank you all elders and brothers and sisters for showing love to our siblings."

After speaking, Qingzhu paused again, and continued: "Speaking of which, there is one thing that Qingzhu planned to tell everyone in two days, but since everyone is so happy now, then Qingzhu simply doesn't hide it. Now, let’s tell everyone here together.”

"What other happy event is there?" Xia Mingfu asked first after hearing the words.

Qingzhu looked at Xia Mingfu and said: "Third uncle, you should have heard that Qingzhu was sealed by the emperor as the county lord..."

Before Qingzhu finished speaking, Xia Mingfu nodded and said: "Yes, we all know this, and the county lord told us in person, this is the great joy of our clan, is there any greater joy than this? "

Qingzhu shook her head with a smile, and said: "Qingzhu doesn't know, whether what I'm going to say next is a bigger happy event, anyway, as long as I say it, it should make everyone happy."

Xia Mingfu was impatient, and when he heard this, he looked at Qingzhu and said: "Oh, girl Qingzhu, if you have any happy event, just tell me directly, don't keep it to yourself."

"Yeah, Qing Zhu, tell us and let us listen."

Many people agreed with Xia Mingfu.

"Yes." Qingzhu nodded, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Because he is the title of county lord, the emperor also granted Qingzhu a hundred food towns. After I asked someone to speak to the emperor, the emperor agreed. Let the population of our Xiajia Village and the two nearby villages be my food town."

"What does this food city mean? This, the old man doesn't quite understand..." Xia Mingfu blinked and looked at Qingzhu and said.

"Old man, I know this." Lu Jinfu, the county magistrate of Yongning who had already returned from Huojia Village, replied with a smile.

"My lord, why don't you tell the grassroots?" Xia Mingfu looked at Lu Jinfu and said with a smile.

Lu Jinfu didn't put on airs at all, and said with a smile: "This means, simple, it means that from now on, your Xiajia Village and the other two villages will not have to pay taxes to the yamen, but to the court..."

"Ah? You don't have to pay taxes to the yamen? Then, who is this tax for?" Xia Mingfu blinked his old eyes and continued to ask.

"Give it to the county master." Lu Jinfu said, bowing to Qingzhu, and said: "If the officer guessed correctly, the county master means that in the future, the taxes of Xiajia Village will not have to be paid, yes Bar?"

Qing Zhu nodded with a smile, and said: "Yes, Mr. Lu is right. From now on, Xiajia Village will not have to pay any taxes, and will not have to take any corvee or even military service."

"It's a good thing, it's a great thing!" Xia Mingfu said as soon as he heard Qing Zhu's words, he chopped his walking stick and said, "No, I have to tell all the ancestors of the old Xia family about this matter. Said, such a good thing, finally it's our Lao Xia's turn."

While talking, Xia Mingfu pushed everyone away, walked into the ancestral hall, walked two steps, waved to Qingzhu again, and said: "Girl Qingzhu, come, go in with third uncle."

"Yes, Third Uncle." Hearing this, Qingzhu nodded, responded, and then followed.

Xia Mingfu thought for a while, then said to Qingshan: "Qingshan, you come too."

"Hey, here we come." Qingshan nodded and followed.
