Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Zhao Ning was jumping up and down to pack his things, and he was going back to his hometown tomorrow.

He has been away from home for more than a year, he was still a child when he came here, and he became a master when he returned home. Just thinking about it, he feels very wise and powerful.

He thought that his grandfather and father and mother would be overjoyed when they found out, and he eagerly went back to share his success and joy with them.

What made him happiest was that Gu Jingyun would go back with him.

In other words, he was going to the capital with Gu Jingyun.

Spring is in February every year, and Guangdong is too far away from the capital, it is impossible for them to celebrate the New Year at home, so they can only go to the capital before the year.

Considering the snow in winter in the north, and the possible closure of mountains and roads, Zhao Ning decided to go to the capital immediately with Gu Jingyun, so that they could arrive in the capital in late September.

And Zhao Ning made a route, he had to pass through Huizhou when he went to the capital, and then he could stay at home for a few days, meet his parents and relatives, and get some money by the way.

He didn't forget that Gu Jingyun was so poor that he wanted to sell paintings, so he planned to get more money when he went home this time, and he would cover the board and lodging along the way.

Zhao Ning, who has a lot of money, did not expect that Gu Jingyun is richer than him now. The inn on the road is the best, and the food must be the most delicious. Even sleeping in the open will have vegetables and meat, which is in stark contrast to himself who ate dry food when he came here .

Zhao Ning held a bowl of white rice and ate chicken stewed with mushrooms until he had a round belly. He thought, no wonder Brother Gu spent all his money while looking at the money. According to this standard of living, no amount of money would be spent.

Glancing at Li Baolu who served Gu Jingyun soup again, he sighed again, there is no way, people are blessed but incomparable, he has a decathlon daughter-in-law, what can he want?

Zhao Ning held the bowl carefully and said: "Sister and sister, the roe deer meat I ate yesterday was very delicious..."

"Only roasted jerky do you want?" Li Baolu generously took out a greased paper bag, "It's just a bit hard, maybe it's good to cook porridge."

Zhao Ning quickly took the stuffing and handed it to Shun Xin, "It's okay, let Shun Xin slice it into thin slices, it's good to eat as a snack."

Shunxin went there with saliva, but what should I do if I feel like they are getting fat on the way?

The Zhao family is not prominent in Huizhou County, but they are big squires in the town, and they have a good reputation. As far as their good reputation is, their family history has spread far and wide.

Counting five generations from Zhao Ning's grandfather, he was still a tenant farmer. In addition to farming his own land, he grazed cattle for free for the landlord's family.

It coincided with the war, and the landlord’s family fled for their lives with the whole family. The village was empty, and those who stayed were not because they didn’t want to leave, but because they had no money or food and couldn’t escape.

When the war ended and the Great Chu was established, Emperor Taizu gave the people all over the world tax-free with a big wave of his hand to recuperate. Within three years, all reclaimed wasteland would not be subject to land tax, and after five years of continuous cultivation, the land would be privately owned.

The ancestors of the Zhao family, who were so hungry that they could only breathe their last breath, cheered up, first received relief food from the yamen, and then opened ten acres of wasteland with a hoe.

It is said to be wasteland, but it is the land left uncultivated after the village's extinction. Because of the poor soil quality and inconvenient transportation, the yamen did not take it into the state, but left it to grow grass and waste.

But it was a great opportunity for the ancestors of the Zhao family. Before, their family didn't have any land, and it was all the land of the tenant landlord's family.

The Zhao family was all dead, and only the ancestor of the Zhao family survived the first year by digging weeds and the relief from the court. In the second year, the field began to produce grain. There was no need to pay taxes, so I saved some money and food in three years, and married a daughter-in-law in middle age to pass on the blood.

The Zhao family are all hard-working, five generations of hard work have accumulated a lot of wealth, and they can be regarded as small landlords in the countryside. Therefore, when Grandpa Zhao Ning was born, his great-grandpa decided to send his son to study with a big wave of his hand. Scholars, change your family.

So his grandfather began to study hard, and his father and brother in the family supported him to study alone.

It's a pity that he hasn't made a name for himself after studying for fifty years. When it comes to his son, he also wants to send his son to study.

But Zhao Ning's father's ambition is not here, and the Zhao family has long since separated. Although several uncles still help his family, but because his father spends a lot on studying, the living standard of the family is not as good as that of his uncles.

So Zhao Ning's father insisted on farming, and he would not study even if he died.

According to Zhao Ning, his father was kicked out of the village by his grandfather with a stick in order not to farm the land, and he escaped to his uncle's grandfather's house before he was saved.

And his father lived up to his ambition. Not only did he grow land well, but soon his family’s standard of living caught up with his uncle’s. He also set a precedent by running a shop in the town, first to grind rice for people, and then to open a grain shop. , use the money earned to buy land to continue farming, and sell the harvested grain...

In less than twenty years, he became the largest squire in their town, and Zhao Ning was taken away by his grandfather when he was born, and he was asked to inherit his grandfather's ambition to study for the imperial examination.

It is said that his father even quarreled with his grandfather because of this. It was not that his father didn't want his son to study, but that his family didn't have this talent.

Not to mention his father, he also suffers from headaches when he is studying, and he can barely read. Several brothers from the uncle's family also read, but after going around, no one has passed the Tongsheng exam, even if they passed the county exam.

But with so many references in the family, everyone can give people hope.

So Zhao Ning's father thought that it would be better to follow him to farm the land instead of spending this effort, lest his son end up like his father, who would only drop the book bag and do nothing but hold a book and read aloud.

Isn't that going to kill his future daughter-in-law and grandson?

Let Zhao Ning's father let go because Zhao Ning passed the county test for the first time!

It was unbelievable, so the Zhao family, including Zhao Ning's uncle, uncle and cousins, collectively surrounded the ceremony room in the county town. The firecrackers were burned all the way from the county town back to their ancestral house in the village, and the whole county watched it Read the Zhao family's joke again.

So in Huizhou, the Zhao family may not be well-known, but everyone knows his family.

A year ago, the good news that Zhao Ning passed the examination as a scholar was handed over to Huizhou. The county magistrate of Huizhou was still worried that the Zhao family would surround the county government. Keep a low profile, just get together and have a meal with the family members.

The people in the county were slightly disappointed, and they couldn't see the excitement anymore.

The county magistrate of Huizhou was also a little disappointed. He deployed police force for nothing.

Merchants in Huizhou were even more disappointed. Their firecrackers could only be kept until the Chinese New Year.

After a year, Huizhou has another good news. This time, Zhao Ning has passed the exam! The county magistrate personally took people to Zhao's house to congratulate him. It is said that Mr. Zhao fainted on the spot and cried for three days and three nights after waking up.

The Zhao family had already bought firecrackers and all kinds of food this time, and they started hosting the banquet when their baby, Zhao Ning, came home.

Zhao Ning's father had already announced that there will be a ten-day banquet this time, and all the villagers in the town are waiting for the Zhao family's wedding banquet. Even the county town has people with good deeds coming to wait for the wedding banquet.

Seeing Zhao Ning, Gu Jingyun, and the others going to Zhao’s house in a carriage, the people on the road kindly reminded them, “Find a house in the village to live in. ), you eat with your belly open, the more you eat, the happier the Zhao family will be."

Li Baolu laughed out loud when she heard the words, and looked at Zhao Ning playfully.

Even Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, Zhao Ning blushed and hid in the carriage as if he didn't hear it.

It's really, really embarrassing. Since I entered Huizhou, no matter where I go, I talk about their family's affairs. From the ancestors to him, everything is really spread out. When did their family become so famous?

It's not Zhao Ning's fault, it's just that the Zhao family's reaction was too strong back then, and the people in Huizhou expressed that they wanted to forget but couldn't.

Shun Xin didn't feel ashamed, on the contrary she felt honored, and seeing that she was about to get home, she flicked her whip and yelled at Red Date to run quickly.

The Zhao family's ancestral house is still in the countryside. Entering the village from the small road in the country, you can see a big brick house when you look up. Zhao Ning, who felt ashamed a moment ago, immediately became excited and jumped before the carriage stopped. Go down and rush to knock on the door, "Grandpa, father, mother, I'm back!"

Shunxin stopped the carriage and jumped down to call the door for his young master. Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu opened the curtain and sat out, looking at them with smiles.

They were also a little homesick, missing their mother, uncle, aunt and Niuniu. If they knew about Gu Jingyun Zhongju, they would definitely be so happy.

The Zhao family soon rushed out when they heard the news, and hugged Zhao Ning. Even his grandfather, who was said to have cried for three days and three nights, came out tremblingly holding the family member's hand, and took Shun Xin's hand in relief. : "Good boy, really good boy, worthy of my seed, this talent for reading is in the same line as me!"

Zhao Ning looked up from his mother's arms helplessly, "Grandpa, I'm here!"

Mr. Zhao narrowed his eyes and looked at the person in front of him for a while, and finally followed the voice, and said to his daughter-in-law: "Well, grandpa saw you, good grandson, come quickly and let grandpa hug you."

Zhao Ning's father's face was full of black lines, "Father, Ning'er is like me, if he is like you, can he still pass the exam?"

Li Baolu finally knew why the Zhao family was so famous, she was very happy to see it.

Gu Jingyun couldn't help laughing, and then said with a smile: "Zhao Ning's luck is really good."

"You're lucky too." Li Baolu stretched out his hand to hold his hand, shook it and said, "Look, you not only have uncles, aunts and mothers, but I'm always by your side, who else in this world is luckier than you? "

Gu Jingyun tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "You're right."

After watching the freshly released Juren, the Zhao family didn't see Gu Jingyun until the novelty wore off.

Knowing that he was Xie Yuan, the new subject who was instructing Zhao Ning's studies, the Zhao family was so enthusiastic that they respectfully invited Gu Jingyun and his wife in as their superiors. Zhao Ning's father even poured Gu Jingyun's tea himself.

Now that Gu Jingyun and Zhao Ning are in the same generation, he naturally dare not sit and accept the ceremony. When he breaks free from the vortex of the Zhao family's enthusiasm, he will be as indifferent as if he is also sweating.

Not to mention Li Baolu, who was directly surrounded by the female family members of the Zhao family, and was dizzy when she returned to their guest room.

It's not good to be too enthusiastic.
