"Xiao Jing is back..." As Uncle Ergen shouted, soon the entire Xiaoxi Village knew that Yun Jing was back.
The villagers walked out of their homes and flocked towards Yunjing, as if looking at a zoetrope. Those who didn't know thought he had done something and was being besieged by the villagers.
"The eldest son of Brother Shan's family is back. Come and have a look."
"What big kid? That's Xiaojing, the pride of our village. People from the town and county came to visit him a few days ago. They brought a lot of things with them. I heard that it was Xiaojing who got it.
No matter what kind of fame you have, it’s just amazing.”
"Is that your name, Xiao Jing? What kind of fame do you have? I asked specifically about it and found out that he is now number one on the Jiangzhou Examination List. Do you know that number one is the most powerful one!"
"Then he is the Master of Juren. Should we also change our name to Master?"
"Ah..., logically, we should call him Master, but how old is he, and he is also a junior in our village, what should we do?"
"Brother Jing is awesome, he's so awesome. I want to be like Brother Jing when I grow up."
"Look at his clothes, they are so beautiful. Only Mr. Juran can wear them. They are so elegant."
"You've made a lot of progress, you've made a lot of progress."
"Our Xiaoxi Village is famous in villages and towns all over the country because of Xiaojing. Not to mention, now there is an endless stream of people coming to our Xiaoxi Village to get married. Although the girls who are getting married know that they are not worthy of Xiaojing, they can marry her.
Xiaoxi Village is also a hundred willing, just to enjoy the talent."
"Now when I go out, my joystick is straightened up. When people ask me where I am from, I say I am from Xiaoxi Village, and my voice is louder than before."
"Look, the girl next to Xiao Jing is so handsome. She's not that good-looking in the painting. Who is he?"
"Why do you care so much? Xiao Jing is successful, so it's normal to have pretty girls around him, right?"
“So envious”
"I'm jealous. If you had Xiao Jing's looks and talent... forget it, don't count on it. Just go play in the mud..."
Soon Yunjing was surrounded by the villagers, who were extremely enthusiastic, talking about everything, and all of them had heartfelt smiles on their faces. Yunjing is the pride of Xiaoxi Village. As a local villager, everyone
Everyone feels proud.
"Xiao Jing, I heard that you were admitted to the Juren Examination?"
"People from all over the county are coming to your house to deliver things. I heard that the total is more than 100,000 taels of silver. How much is that? It's such a spend. Your family will become rich!"
"Should we change our name and call you the Master of Juren? Your clothes are really nice, are they comfortable?"
"Brother Jing, brother Jing, how did you pass the exam? Is it difficult? Will I have a chance in the future?"
"Are you going to be an official in the future? As a fellow villager, you have to take care of me in the future."
"..."
Facing the enthusiastic villagers on the third floor and the third floor outside, Yunjing's heart was filled with joy. The simple people would not breed jealousy and hatred because of how they were, but instead were happy for him.
No matter how powerful a person is, it is only his own business, but if he can bring glory to his hometown, that is the real sense of accomplishment.
Even though he is no longer what he used to be, Yunjing still regards himself as an ordinary member of the village. He treats himself politely when facing his elders, smiles when facing his peers, and looks kind to the younger ones when he touches and rubs them.
"Well, I was lucky enough to be on the list and get admitted to the Juren Examination. It's not that impressive. There are so many people across the country who became the Juren Examiner on the same day. It's really nothing. I don't know about the people from the county. Those who just came back may have some awards.
Right, but it's not that exaggerated. Don't listen to people's nonsense. You can't even talk about getting rich. Your life will be much better in the future. It's very difficult to take the examination and you need to read a lot of books. Being an official is not that easy..."
Yunjing also patiently answered those questions that were asked by many people, without being ostentatious or deliberately keeping a low profile. Listening to his explanation, the villagers almost didn't understand it, and they just didn't realize it anyway.
The villagers seemed to have endless things to say, and they almost came up with a hundred thousand questions like curious babies. They also noticed Bai Zhi beside Yun Jing, but they didn't know the situation, so they didn't ask any more questions.
The villagers in Xiaoxi Village didn't have much knowledge. They only knew that Yunjing had made a fortune now, and they had no idea how to make a fortune. They were a little cautious at first, but they found that Yunjing was no different from before, so they gradually relaxed.
opened.
After chatting with the villagers for a while, Yun Jing smiled and said, "Everyone should go and sit at home when you have time."
"Will you bother me? After all, you just came back."
"It's okay. It's rare to sit together and have a chat and have some fun..."
So the villagers gathered around Yunjing and went to his house, but not all of them went. Many villagers still had to busy themselves with their own affairs.
There were too many villagers around, and Bai Zhi didn't recognize any of them, so she seemed a little reserved. She followed Yunjing obediently and looked at the people and things here curiously.
In the distance, Yun Jing saw his father looking over at the door. Because there were too many villagers around, he had to smile and nod as a greeting first, but unexpectedly, Yun Shan snorted and put his hands behind his back.
Went back to the yard.
Yunjing felt funny in his heart. His father was obviously very happy, but he pretended not to care. This was probably the last sign of his old father's stubbornness.
"It's so lively over there. I heard that Xiao Jing is back?" Yun Lin, who was obviously getting younger and more lively, threw a basket of grass into the cow pen and said cheerfully, then walked towards the door.
My eldest grandson is back. I haven’t seen him for a while. I miss him so much.
Yunshan curled his lips and said: "Come back as soon as you come back. What's the big deal? Dad, look at your small scene. There is a large group of people surrounding it. I think I almost forgot my last name. Give him a thumbs up."
How could Yunlin, who had lived for decades, not see that Yunshan was jealous of his own son? Yunjing had become successful and did not enter the house as soon as he came back. Yunshan felt unhappy, so he turned around and said cheerfully:
"Xiaojing is now prosperous. It's normal for the villagers to be more enthusiastic."
"Huh, no matter how successful he is, he is still my cub, and I will have to bear with him if I beat him," Yunshan said with a snort.
Yun Lin shook his head and ignored him, walked to the door and said: "Xiao Jing is now a civil servant, so he can't teach him the same lesson as he did when he was a child. He has to save some face, and Xiao Jing is so sensible, you can't beat him even if you want to.
reason"
"It's amazing to be able to lift people up. He can even change the world. Besides, he is my son. Even if he is successful in lifting people up, I have half of the credit for it. I am his father who gave birth to him and raised him. Hey," Yunshan said proudly, saying this,
But the joy in his heart was almost overwhelming. After all, his son had become successful. However, as a father, he still had the dignity of being a father, but he could not give his son a 'good look', because he was the head of the family!
At this moment, Jiang Susu, wearing an apron, walked out of the kitchen quickly, wiped her hands and said eagerly: "Jing'er is back? Where is she?"
As she said that, she walked quickly to the door. She was not too excited because her son was going to be successful, but more of an ardent expectation for her son. After all, her son had been gone for more than half a year, so how could a mother not miss him.
"He will come back as soon as he comes back. It's not like I haven't seen him before. Why are you so excited?" Yunshan shouted immediately.
Jiang Susu took the time to glare at him and said, "Why are you a father? You don't care at all when your son comes back from a trip?"
"Why don't I care anymore, I..." Yunshan muttered, but before he finished speaking, he found that Jiang Susu had already walked to the door and ignored him, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.
At this moment, Yunjing had already arrived at the entrance of the yard surrounded by a group of villagers. When he saw his family, he immediately walked out of the crowd and walked forward quickly: "Grandpa, mother, I'm back."
Yun Lin stroked his beard and nodded cheerfully: "Come in quickly, everyone come in and sit down."
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back," Jiang Susu came to Yunjing and looked at Yunjing. She seemed to have a thousand words to say, but in the end she condensed into these four words, "It'll be good to come back." Her eye circles were a little red, and she subconsciously
She raised her hand to wipe it, but with so many people watching around her, she felt a little embarrassed.
Yunjing stepped forward, leaned over and hugged Jiang Susu gently and said with a sore nose: "Mom, my child is unfilial and makes you worry."
"We can't help you with anything, we're just worrying. You kid, there are so many people..." Jiang Susu patted Yunjing's shoulder and said sheepishly.
He was so small at the beginning and now he has grown so big in a blink of an eye. He is much taller than himself. He is so powerful that he could never even dream of it. This is his son. He can no longer be kissed and held up like he did when he was a child.
"I miss my mother after being out for so long," Yunjing said sincerely, not caring about other people's opinions.
The surrounding villagers responded with smiles, and the scene of a loving mother and a filial son was somewhat touching. Some people thought of their daughter who had not returned or was married far away, secretly wiping her tears.
"Hmph," Yunshan snorted not far away, not too far away but to express his dissatisfaction that his son ignored him when he came back.
Yunjing looked up at Yunshan and smiled: "Dad, I'm back."
"Yeah," Yunshan nodded subconsciously, feeling a little more satisfied.
Then Yunjing and Yunlin invited the villagers to come into the yard, and Yunjing's house suddenly became lively.
In fact, Yunjing's family, like the villagers, had long discovered Bai Zhi who was following Yunjing obediently. However, they didn't know what was going on at the moment, and so many people didn't ask much. I thought Yunjing would give an explanation.
When she arrived at Yunjing's house, Bai Zhi subconsciously stood behind Yunjing, quietly and carefully looking at Yunjing's family members, who would be the elders she needed to respect in the future.
'This is grandpa, right? He has a strong body and doesn't look old at all. He is a very simple man. He should be my father-in-law. He is very young and an ordinary person. Is this my mother-in-law? She is too young.
, they all look less than thirty years old...'
Bai Zhi, who was silently observing her, thought in her heart that Yunjing's family was very different from what she imagined. Before that, she thought that Yunjing's family were the kind of farmers who were overwhelmed by life. After seeing it with her own eyes, it was completely the opposite. However, she
When I thought about Yun Jing's ability, I felt that this was normal.
Dozens of villagers came to Yunjing's house. The bustle made it impossible for Yunjing to have a good chat with his family right away. There was definitely no room for so many people to sit down. Fortunately, some villagers spontaneously brought stools and chairs from home.
settle down.
After everyone sat down, Yunjing asked Song Yan to get some fruits and distribute them to everyone. Jiang Susu went to make tea, while Yunlin Yunshan chatted with the villagers. The topic of conversation was Yunjing, and he couldn't do anything without him.
Yunlin and Yunshan did not show off in a high-profile manner because of Yunjing's potential, but the smiles on their faces never stopped, which shows how much they have a long-term attitude toward Yunjing.
After all the villagers were settled and they helped Jiang Susu distribute tea to the villagers, everyone gathered together. Then Yunjing brought Bai Zhi to his parents and grandfather to formally introduce them.
Yunjing and the others were already the center of attention, so this move made everyone's eyes subconsciously focus on them, and even the small talk stopped.
Under the gaze of everyone, Bai Zhi did not dare to raise her head to see anyone. When the critical moment came, her heartbeat almost reached her throat.
Yunjing was also a little uneasy at this time, and he was not sure how his family would react when he explained Bai Zhi, but this kind of thing must be faced.
Stretching out his head is a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife. Under everyone's gaze, Yunjing gritted his teeth and said: "Grandpa, dad, mom, this is Bai Zhi. She and I are already together. Do you understand what I mean?"
When he said this, Yunjing was afraid to look at the faces of his family members. Although it was normal for men in this era to have three wives and four concubines, in a place like the countryside, usually a man would only live with one woman in his whole life. In the village
There has never been any precedent for marrying several women. This is unprecedented for Yunjing. What will they think?
When introducing the relationship, Yunjing said that they were already together, and did not mention the terms "concubine" or "concubine". Although it was true, Yunjing had to take care of Bai Zhi's mood. After all, the terms "concubine" and "concubine" were used.
It will really embarrass her, just express your meaning clearly, there is no need to be so straightforward.
Many times, as long as there is no grudge or grudge between each other, usually no one will call each other's side wife such and such a concubine in person, which is a bit damaging to the woman.
After Yun Jing introduced Bai Zhi, the onlookers probably understood what it meant, and their eyes widened as if they were eating melons.
Yunlin, Yunshan and Jiang Susu were stunned when they heard this. They were a little dumbfounded and completely unprepared. They never thought that Yunjing would bring them such unexpected news when he came back.
Yun Lin moved for a moment and was a little unresponsive. Yun Shan choked on a mouthful of tea and coughed. Jiang Su Su almost lost her grip on the tea bowl and fell to the ground.
It was quite sudden.
It was Yun Lin who reacted first. After all, he had lived for decades. He looked at Yun Jing and thought for a while and said: "Since you are already together, you must take responsibility and don't let others be wronged." He said,
He looked at Bai Zhi and said with a smile: "Your name is Bai Zhi, right? My good daughter, we will be a family from now on. This is your home, and we are also your relatives. Don't be formal."
Having said that, Yun Lin was extremely confused. What was going on? Xiao Jing was engaged, and now he brought a girl back. What should he do?
Yun Jing quickly said to Bai Zhi: "This is grandpa, kowtow to grandpa."
Bai Zhi was extremely touched that Yun Jing protected her face so much, but Hui Zhilan was heartbroken and didn't want Yun Jing's family to misunderstand, so she kowtowed to Yun Lin respectfully and said, "My granddaughter-in-law Bai Zhi has met grandpa and kowtows to you."
, so that grandpa will know that I voluntarily followed the official in the side room of the West Wing, willingly. The official was very good to me and never made me suffer the slightest injustice."
Hearing what she said, the onlookers had "Oh~" expressions on their faces. They were all very curious and looked like they had experienced a lot. At the same time, their eyes looking at the cloud scene were full of envy. Well, most of the envious people were men.
Villagers.
A side room, they never dared to think about such a thing. After all, it is not easy to support a family. How could they be in the mood to find a side room? Not only did Yunjing bring back a side room, it was also so beautiful. I was so envious...
Then most of the male villagers who showed envious expressions soon bared their teeth quietly and were squeezed by the wives next to them. After all, how can a woman not know how much a man wants.
At this time, Yun Lin subconsciously stood up and said at a loss: "Get up quickly, this...I haven't prepared any gifts, but what should I do?"
He wanted to help Bai Zhi, but it was inappropriate, so he looked at Yun Jing with an embarrassed look.
"Grandpa's acceptance is the best gift for my grandson-in-law," said Bai Zhi, who was still kneeling on the ground. She was half relieved of her worries. Grandpa, who has the most important position in the family, did not refuse. There was also the issue of Yunjing's parents behind.
Woolen cloth.
Yunjing said to her: "Grandpa, just get up if he asks you to get up."
"Yeah", Bai Zhi stood up slowly.
Then Yunjing looked at Yunshan and said, "Xiaobai, this is daddy. Come on, kowtow and call daddy."
"Dad, my daughter-in-law kowtows to you," Bai Zhi knelt down towards Yunshan Yingying and said respectfully.
Yunshan immediately stood up in a panic and said: "Hey, okay, good girl, get up quickly, the floor is dirty..."
He was a little incoherent. After all, he had never experienced such a thing. Although Yunshan usually acted like the head of the family at home, he looked at Yunjing for help.
Yunjing helped his father to save the situation and said to Bai Zhi: "Get up, my father is very good, but he is usually not good at talking."
Yunshan rolled his eyes subconsciously, "Have you ever said that about your father? If it weren't for this situation, I wouldn't slap you..."
After Bai Zhi came up, Yunjing looked at Jiang Susu again and said: "Xiaobai, this is my mother, come here, kowtow to our mother."
So Bai Zhi, who had just stood up, knelt down to Jiang Susu and said softly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law Bai Zhi kowtows to you."
"Okay, okay, good girl, get up quickly. Xiaojing is an ignorant child and didn't know to tell you in advance. As a mother, I have no preparations. Don't mind." Jiang Susu got up with some embarrassment and helped Bai Zhi up.
As a woman, she doesn't have so many worries.
No matter what, the first impression of Bai Zhi on Jiang Susu was very good. Not to mention she was beautiful, and she was not ostentatious in her dress. She was not showy and ostentatious, but relatively simple. Anyway, the more she looked at her, the more satisfied she became.
However, Jiang Susu glanced at Yun Jing secretly, as if to say, look, what is going on with you? You are not even mentally prepared for this.
At the same time, Jiang Susu was not mentally prepared to be a mother-in-law, and she didn't know how to get along with Bai Zhi for a while. The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always a headache.
"Thank you, mother." Bai Zhi obediently stood up with Jiang Susu's help and said with a smile. The stone hanging in her heart completely fell to the ground. Yunjing's family did not reject her or dislike her. This was the best result for her.
After asking Bai Zhi to kowtow to the family and get to know each other, Yun Jing, under the look of his grandfather Yun Lin, took Bai Zhi to introduce each other to the surrounding villagers. This is the uncle, that is the second uncle, then the cousin, and this little one.
...Well, he is an elder...
The villagers were more natural. They were not as embarrassed as Yunjing's family. They greeted Bai Zhi politely. They couldn't get involved in the Yunjing's family affairs. Anyway, they just had the mentality of watching a show and enjoying the melon. Most of them were filled with emotion.
, look at this man who is capable, his lovely wife and beautiful family are really enviable.
Among the villagers, the one who was most shocked was Aunt Wang, the one who acted as matchmaker between Yun Jing and Su Xiaoye.
At first, when Yun Jing introduced Bai Zhi, she was extremely conflicted. She thought that Xiao Jing had brought back a girl and introduced her in person. What should Su Xiaoye do? Although Xiao Jing had become more capable, she couldn't do this.
Moreover, you brought the person back, and you called her father and mother before they got married. This is not in line with the rules. How is it appropriate?
But she was relieved when she understood that Bai Zhi was Yunjing's concubine. She turned out to be a concubine, so it was okay. Although she was not married yet, it was not considered overly polite to introduce her like this. After all, the status of concubine was not so particular.
"I won't talk too much about this matter. Xiao Jing is now a capable person. He will handle Su Lihu's situation by himself. I can't talk nonsense and cause trouble for others," Aunt Wang said secretly, feeling relieved.
.
After getting acquainted with Bai Zhi and the villagers, Yunjing took her to distribute the gifts brought back to the villagers. In this way, Bai Zhi could deepen her impression among the villagers and gain more recognition.
The gifts given to the villagers were not precious things, cloth snacks or the like, but they were considered as a token of appreciation. After all, I had to express my gratitude when I returned to my hometown.
As for gifts for family members, there is no need to give them out in public, only when the family is alone together.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to distribute gifts, Jiang Susu came to Yunjing and said: "Xiaojing, let's go, come with me to make some more tea."
Yunjing knew that his mother wanted to talk to him alone, so he bit the bullet and followed her.
When she came to the kitchen and no one was around, Jiang Susu closed the door, stretched out her hand, grabbed Yun Jing's ear, twisted it half a circle and whispered: "You brat, tell me what's going on with you, ah? Still.
When looking for a side room, I didn’t even discuss it with my family. I’m so capable. I can’t control you anymore, right? You can do it, but you’ve actually resorted to the trick of killing first and then showing off!”
"It hurts, it hurts, mother, be gentle, it hurts, my ears are about to fall off," Yunjing begged for mercy with an exaggerated look.
Zhizi Moruomu, how could Jiang Susu not know that Yunjing was faking, she said angrily: "Don't pretend it for me, just your ears, I don't know, I can't chop them off with a knife."
Even though she said that, she still let go of Yun Jing and gently rubbed him, feeling a little distressed and said, "Does it still hurt?"
Being interrupted like this, Jiang Susu stopped scolding Yunjing, rolled her eyes and said: "You, you have grown up, you have to be sensible in many things, don't let the girls be wronged, and Su Xiaoye
You can explain it yourself at home. If you can't get a satisfactory result, I won't break your legs. Don't think about us going to help you with this kind of thing. We won't be able to make you lose face."
"Don't worry, Mom, I will take care of it," Yunjing quickly expressed his stance.
After struggling for a moment in silence, Jiang Susu asked in a low voice: "Tell me, mother, how did you meet? When a good girl is willing to be your concubine? What kind of ecstasy soup did you pour into her?"
Yun Jing glanced at his mother strangely, and said in his heart, "Mom, can't you tell that you also have the intention to gossip?" He said, "Mom, it's a long story. There are so many people waiting outside. Let's talk about it later."
How about I explain it to you in detail?"
Jiang Susu thought it right and quickly said: "That's right, go out quickly, don't keep them waiting for a long time."
So the mother and son went out, and soon Jiang Susu found an excuse to take Bai Zhi's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to whisper...
