After Bai Panmei was sent to Huaishui Academy to study, the Bai family's status in Shenshu Village increased.
Through the popular science provided by the village chief, everyone learned that entering Huaishui Academy is equivalent to stepping into the officialdom.
"The lowest level is the county magistrate." said the village chief.
At this time, the people in the village were not only envious, but also in awe.
The biggest official the people of Shenshu Village saw was the county magistrate, followed by the yamen servants and surrounded by policemen, who looked very majestic.
Moreover, the village chief even said that the lowest price was the lowest and the highest price was the highest, but they did not dare to think about it.
Lao Bai's family is really prosperous. Not only does he have a daughter who brings good luck, but he also has a son who is about to become an official.
Some people are envious, while others throw cold water on you.
"The fourth son of the Bai family is just a boy, not even a scholar. It's too early to become an official. His brother, the second son, is still a scholar and failed."
The village chief looked like you know something, and the old god said: "The fourth son of the Bai family is different from his brother. He was said by Zhou Daru to be a Qilin talent. Do you understand Qilin talent? From now on, he will go to the Jinluan Palace to draw up plans for the emperor." The edict."
Good guy, the village chief really dares to think.
When he was the county magistrate, everyone still believed him because they had seen Liu Hong, and the county magistrate did not have one more leg than others.
But they had never met the person who drafted the edict for the emperor, and subconsciously felt that the person had no head and six arms, and that he had to look like an immortal. They felt that the village chief was bragging.
"It would be great if we could have a county magistrate in our village. We also want to draft an edict for the emperor. What are we thinking about?" Someone in the village had a different opinion than the village chief.
This was said by everyone gathered at the door of Xia's house opposite Lao Bai's house, because it was cool in front of A Zhen's house, and Butler He was kind enough to provide mung bean soup to the passing villagers to cool down.
At this time, Butler He walked by, and someone asked: "Steward He, you are from the capital. The village chief said that the fourth son of the Bai family can draft an edict for the emperor in the future. Do you think he can?"
Butler He said with a smile: "No one can say for sure. The fourth son of the Bai family shows his talent at such a young age, so it is quite possible."
The village chief said: "See what I said is accurate. Butler He said so."
Someone in the village laughed and said: "If he really writes an edict to the emperor, I don't care about anything else. As long as he can encourage the emperor to waive our spring grain tax."
Someone else said: "I'm really not jealous. The fourth son of the Bai family will draft an edict for the emperor one day, and I don't envy him either. It is said that accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. If you are not careful, your head will be chopped off. I heard that our current emperor, Even his own son was kicked out of the capital, let alone others."
Butler He stopped talking, shook his head lightly and walked in.
The people in the village continued to drink the mung bean soup provided by the Xia family and chatted.
From the emperor's family affairs, it circled back to Lao Bai's family.
Because the things Lao Bai's family did were too popular, after Bai Panmei entered Huaishui Academy, Bai Zhaomei, uncle and nephew all packed up and sent them to a private school in the town to study.
Studying is a big deal in rural areas.
There are not many students in the whole village, so Lao Bai's family basically takes over the students from Shenshu Village.
"You, Lao Bai, want all your children to become officials."
The white wooden board came back from the field with a hoe and a basket, holding little Fuyuan in his hand. Someone saw it and asked loudly.
"No, no, it's just to let the children know a few words, not to blind them." Bai Banban said modestly.
Bai Banban has been cheerful since he came back from Huaicheng after seeing his fourth child off.
He took Lao Si to visit Zhou Daru, who promised to personally guide Bai Panmei.
Being able to enter Huaishui Academy is like smoking in the ancestral graves. Zhou Daru personally pointed out that the green smoke on the ancestral grave was thicker than the waist.
Bai Banban felt that his whole person was full of energy, and he felt like he was carrying wind when he walked and worked.
"What you're saying is that if you know a few words so that your family can teach you, is it still worth going to a private school?"
"It's not because I'm afraid that Lao Wu and his uncles and nephews will be sent to a private school to learn principles like monkeys. I don't dare to think about becoming an official." Bai Banban said with a wave of his hand.
The villagers thought to themselves, just pretend!
My heart is indeed becoming more and more envious. It can be seen that Lao Bai's family is now very rich and can provide a string of children with education.
How much money does it cost to support a student? Can they not want to send their children to school?
Think about it, the key is that you can’t afford it!
"Xiao Yuanbao, you went to the fields with your father and found something good?" the village chief asked Xiao Fuyuan with a smile.
"Uncle village chief, there is nothing good, just dug a few radishes." Xiao Fuyuan said honestly.
A few radish tassels were exposed in the white wooden basket. The village chief smiled and said: "Old Bai, you really love your daughter. This season, the radish is only as thick as a thumb and you pull it out."
Bai Banban felt guilty for a while, nodded and said: "If the girl likes it, just pull it out."
After saying that, he pulled Xiao Fuyuan into the house.
"Quick, quick, strong lady, come and take a look at this basket." Bai Banpan entered the upper room and shouted in a low voice.
Old Mrs. Bai came out of the kitchen and saw the white wooden board with a look of overwhelming surprise on her face. She told Qiuniang: "Qiuniang, go and close the door and top it with a wooden stick to prevent anyone from coming in."
Qiuniang went to block the door.
"What?"
In the room, everyone in the Bai family looked at Mrs. Zhen with burning eyes.
"Fuck, is this really ginseng?" The white wooden board's voice trembled.
"Yes." Mrs. Zhen said firmly, holding a "carrot".
"Uncle, Auntie is right, this is indeed ginseng." Qiuniang had seen ginseng before and couldn't help but interrupt. Only then did she understand why Mrs. Bai asked her to hold the door tightly.
Such ginseng cannot be exposed casually.
Mrs. Bai and others' hearts were beating like drums. How could they get so much ginseng in this big basket?
Everyone's eyes turned to Xiao Fuyuan in unison.
"Where did these come from?"
"That's it." Xiao Fuyuan's eyes sparkled.
Picked up?
Why can't anyone else get it?
"My daughter is right, it was indeed collected."
The white wooden board said in a trembling voice that he went to work in the fields in the evening, and Xiao Fuyuan went with him. Passing by the foot of the mountain, I found a bush of wild carrots, and I thought about digging them home to add to my dish.
Xiao Fuyuan dug along with him, and he found that what Xiao Fuyuan dug was different from him. What he dug was indeed a carrot, but what Xiao Fuyuan dug was different from a radish.
He was surprised and happy, so he stuffed the little Fu Yuan under the carrots he dug, and then carried it all the way home.
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law is really... really powerful. Just pull it out and you will find ginseng." Xie Chuntao said tremblingly, facing the basket of ginseng, clasping his hands together.
"Dad, when you came here just now, no one noticed you." Bai Dazhuang calmed down and asked.
"No. Just now, the village chief said hello to me outside, so I quickly came in." Bai Banban said.
Old lady Bai touched the ginseng seeds with trembling hands.
No wonder everyone was excited. Except for Zhen, no one in the Lao Bai family had ever seen real ginseng.
"This one is a century-old ginseng." Zhen picked up the top one and said calmly.
When the Bai family heard this, they almost fainted from the surprise. It's okay, just take a piece of ginseng and it's a century-old ginseng?
"Mom, how did you know?" Yu Jingui asked tremblingly. She was about to be stunned by the surprise. My sister-in-law is amazing. How much does this move cost?
"I saw it when I was a kid," Zhen said calmly.
No one thought about Zhen's words because everyone's attention was on the basket of ginseng.
