Reborn farmhouse busy farming

Chapter 127

In the end, Mrs. Qi's 300 taels of silver was not returned by the Luo family, and the Luo family's dowry was not returned by the Qi family. The Qi family was divorced and returned to her natal family.

After solving Luo Baihan's matter, Luo Baisu stayed at home for more than half a month, and then took Cheng Sheng to Beijing.

Luo Baihan's leg has been healed for two months, but it is just like what the old doctor said, it is disabled, and he walks with a limp. He is destined to be a scholar in his whole life, and there is no way to go any further. .

After Luo Baihan returned to Luojia Village, Luo Baiqiu came back and made a fuss.Luo Baiqiu, who has always been tactful and sophisticated, and who knows how to read people's faces, cried and scolded Yao Shi for being biased. For Luo Baihan's future, he married her into the Su family and was tortured by Widow Xu every day; To be a human being, offend Luo Baisu to death. After blaming Yao Shi, she also scolded Luo Baihan for being ignorant. In order for him to study, she ruined the whole family, not to mention ruining her own reputation, making her unable to hold her head up all the time outside. Come.

The son's disability and the eldest daughter's complaints made Yao Shi feel as if he was ten years older in an instant. His whole body exuded a dejected aura, and he no longer cursed at people like before, and often sat in the room in a daze.

Even if Luo Baihan can't take the scientific examination, he still has the reputation of a scholar after all. He doesn't need to pay land taxes. The Luo family still has more than ten acres of fertile land. As long as he is honest and diligent, he farms the land in his own right, and behaves in a down-to-earth manner. questionable.It's just that since Luo Baihan was born, he was brought up in Yao's hands, not to mention the farm work, even the water did not help to carry a load. At first, he followed the old man Luo to the field, and he was really making a fool of himself. Seeing the bowl of rice in the field He can't eat it.

In the end, Lizheng felt sorry for him, and discussed with the elders in the village, and built a thatched hut next to the clan hall, barely counting it as a school, and asked Luo Baihan to teach the young children in the village to enlighten themselves in the thatched cottage. For older children who are willing to learn to read and write, their family members will send them to the thatched cottage, and they can send some daily necessities to Luo Baihan every month, which can be regarded as a way of making a living.

Although Luo Baihan was a little displeased, he had nothing to criticize even today, it was better than working hard in the fields, so he reluctantly accepted Lizheng's good deeds and became a husband.

Yao shi spent the first month in a daze. Seeing that there was no way out, Luo Baihan wanted to take root in Luojia Village, and there was no other way, so he started to arrange marriage for him again.Back then, Luo Baihan and the Qi family had been married for more than a year, but they did not leave a man and a half woman, so Yao shi planned to marry another one for Luo Baihan, at least to leave a heir for the old Luo family.

It is said that good things never go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Luo Baihan offended the dignitaries in Shangjing and broke a leg. He will never be able to achieve anything in his life. It didn't take long for everyone in Jinyong County to know about it.When Mrs. Yao was looking for a matchmaker to propose marriage to Luo Baihan again, no matchmaker was willing to accept her. Because of this, Mrs. Yao got angry again at home. Seeing that Luo Baihan is pitiful, he told him about a family, a girl from a poor mountain valley. Because there are many children in the family, her mother gave birth to a little brother last month, and it seems that she will not be able to support her. , That's when I made up my mind to marry the eldest daughter off.Speaking of marrying a daughter, in fact, that means almost the same as selling a daughter. As long as the Luo family is willing to pay four dowry gifts, their daughter will marry into the Luo family, and it doesn't matter whether they live or die in the future.

Luo Tian even heard about Yao's marrying Luo Baihan a wife, so he didn't ask any further questions, and only asked Cheng Qing to send two slings of money over.

Spring is coming and autumn is coming, this is already the second winter for Luo Baisu to go to Beijing.

Fang got up early, cleaned the roof and the snow in the yard, and heard the sound of horseshoes outside the door. After a while, Cheng Qing hurried over with a letter in his hand.

"It's a letter from dad!" Luo Tiandu threw the pen in his hand, jumped off the kang and rushed out, picked up the letter in Cheng Qing's hand, and opened it to read.

Fang still didn't know a single word, so she asked her: "What did your father say in the letter?"

"Father said next year that the country's filial piety will be removed, and the imperial court seems to be offering compulsory subjects. He wants to stay in Beijing to prepare for the compulsory examinations. Mr. Zuo has already prepared a letter of recommendation for him." Luo Tiandu asked blankly, "Mother , what is a department?"

She only knew that every time the new emperor ascended the throne, the imperial court might add Enke, but who could tell her what this system was?
Although she doesn't know what the system is, there is someone in the village who definitely knows.She dug out her piggy bank, withdrew a few dozen pennies, cut half a strip of homemade stewed pork, went to the grocery store to buy two catties of wine, and went to the school next to the clan hall to look for Luo Baihan.

For the past two years, Luo Baihan has only taught a few urchins in the village to read a few words in the school. He has always been proud and arrogant, but now because of his lameness, he can only be a poor teacher in such a simple thatched cottage. I was somewhat resentful in my heart, so I valued those few ounces of wine more and more. I was sober all day except when teaching, and spent most of the time soaking in the wine jar.Old man Luo couldn't get used to his tired and lazy look, so he put away his monthly allowance and asked his wife to save it. Counting it, Luo Baihan hadn't had a drop of wine for several months.

Luo Tian came to him with a wine jar and appetizers, and asked him about the system. He first took a sip of wine, and after getting drunk, he wiped his mouth and said, "You ask about this?" What to do? The department is a special department, and it can only be held by an edict from the sage, mainly for the purpose of selecting all kinds of talents for the imperial court to help the world and govern the country."

"Isn't being an official a Jinshi? How is that different from taking a Jinshi?" Luo Tian became more and more confused.

Tsk!In this day and age, there are so many things to pay attention to in every test.Changke's various subjects alone opened her eyes, and now there is another special subject.

Even if Luo Baihan couldn't take the scientific examination, he still had a sense of superiority in his bones that he was a scholar, so he said proudly: "The Jinshi course is a regular course, and most scholars in the world want to get a Jinshi background. Jinshi, but Teke's background is the same as Jinshi's background, and you can become an official after you come out."

"Oh." Luo Tian listened for a long time, and only understood that he could become an official without taking the Jinshi examination, and those who became officials after the Jinshi examination could still be promoted through the examination department.

Luo Baihan was eager to drink, so he waved his sleeves and said, "Why are you asking about this? Don't say that you are a girl and cannot take the scientific examination. Even if you are a boy, you will not be able to pass the examination without the recommendation of the minister. It's okay, go back quickly, don't delay my drinking."

Luo Tian didn't even want to stay with a drunkard, so he said "hmm" and walked outside. When he reached the door, he saw Luo Baihan holding a bottle of wine, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Second uncle, It's cold, it's cold in this thatched cottage, don't drink for too long, go back earlier."

Luo Baihan interrupted her impatiently: "I see, I still need you to take care of me as an adult, you should go back quickly, don't be annoying to people with babbling."

Luo Tiandu looked at him, sighed, and went home to ask Cheng Qing to send two bundles of firewood to Luo Baihan.The thatched cottage was built simply, without a complete kang, and it was terribly cold in winter.I really don't understand why Luo Baihan just sat in that thatched cottage all day and didn't want to go back.

In the first month of the next year, the country's filial piety passed, and the imperial court really ordered to open a major department in May to select all kinds of outstanding people and recruit extraordinary talents for the imperial court.

At the beginning of July, Luo Tiandu was studying at home with Luo Mingdu, when he suddenly heard people beating drums and gongs outside, he asked Fang: "Mother, who is hosting the wedding?"

Fang said: "I'll go out and have a look, and tell them to beat the gong far away, so as not to disturb your study."

As a result, before Mrs. Fang left the yard, I heard someone setting off firecrackers outside, and someone shouting outside, "Is Mrs. Xiucai at home? Congratulations to you!"

Luo Tian was so disturbed by the sound of firecrackers that he covered his ears and ran out. He wanted to see who was so annoying, setting off firecrackers at the door of someone's house, but he heard such a sentence.She immediately thought of the compulsory exam that Luo Baisu had mentioned, could it be that Luo Baisu passed the exam?
Sure enough, two officials stood outside the door, and when they saw Mrs. Fang coming out, they laughed and said, "Congratulations, Mrs. Xiucai!"

Another official next to him gave him a hand, and blamed him: "Why do you still call it Mrs. Xiucai now? You should change it to Mrs. Luo."

Fang was also at a loss: "Could it be that the two officials have found the wrong door?"

The official said: "There will be mistakes. Luo Xiucai of Luojia Village, Qiushui Town, is absolutely true. Luo Xiucai's detailed political skills can be tested by people and science, and he will be admitted to the fourth class. He will sign a letter to the judge of the northern border. Office business, Mrs. Luo, congratulations!"

Luo Tian was confused by what she heard. She probably knew about the detailed politics and management of people. It was probably the subject that Luo Baisu took in the system examination. It was estimated that he was ranked in the fourth class and signed the Northern Border Festival. Du Judicial Office should be his father's official position. As for what the ranking of this fourth rank is, and what kind of official is the official official of the Northern Territory Jiedu Judicial Office, she has no idea at all.

But it is absolutely true that his father is now an official.

Fang's face was also full of joy, and he asked in a repeated tone: "Is this true? His father really passed the exam? Has he become an official?"

Luo Tian saw that she still couldn't recover for a while, so he went to the house to get two slings of money, and distributed them to the two officials as rewards.The official was very happy when he got the reward, and said a lot of good things, and then he went back to the Yamen to return his order.

At this time, old man Luo and Luo Baihan also got the news and rushed over.

As soon as he entered the door, old man Luo asked excitedly: "Boss, did Da Lang really pass the exam and was awarded an official?" Old man Luo was so excited that his voice trembled a little.

This is the first official from Lao Luo's family.

Luo Tiandu smiled and said: "That's right, the official came to inform you just now."

"Okay, it's good to be an official! Dalang is really promising! Bless the ancestors, our Luo family finally has an official." Old man Luo was so excited that he rubbed his hands together and kept applauding.
