Lian Fangzhou glanced at Lian Hai in surprise, and said, "My cousin what did you say! The news I got yesterday, my cousin is studying hard, how can I bother! No, I asked someone to invite someone at the last minute? My cousin, there is no time to delay my cousin!"

Speaking of asking people to invite Lian Hai at this time, instead of feeling ashamed and guilty of conscience, Lian Fangzhou had an expression that was very thoughtful for Lian Hai, and almost didn't make Lian Hai's nose crooked!

A Jian smiled secretly and glanced at Lian Fangzhou.

"You! How can you be like this!" Lianhai was so angry that he smoked, "How can you be like this!"

Lian Fangzhou laughed and said, "What did I do wrong? Cousin! This is my family's business, and it has nothing to do with my cousin! The reason I told my cousin was just to invite the cousin over. Looking at the excitement, I am just happy! After all, my cousin is about to participate in the local examination soon!"

"What did you say!" Lian Hai was taken aback and couldn't believe his eyes widened. "You said it has nothing to do with me! You have promised me before, and this matter is also my credit! How can you not count? Words! Fangzhou, don't forget that I am your cousin, and you believe it too!"

Lian Fangzhou was about to answer, as the gongs and drums rang in unison, "The imperial decree is—the idlers wait to avoid—" with a loud shout, he stopped talking and went forward to stand with Lian Ze and the others. together.

Even Hai glanced at her, and had to hold back what was in his heart for a while, and stepped forward as well.

But the more he thought about it, the more regretful and annoyed he became.

What regrets is how could you believe Lian Lian Fangzhou's words so easily?I should have seen her write her "credit" on paper and personally send it to the county government or Ding Taifu with her!

What is annoying is that this cousin has the hardest heart and the least merciless in doing things. Now that she has said those things, it can be seen that seven or eighty of the times she did not report herself when repaying the credit!Why is she so stingy and ruthless, it's just a matter of verbal abuse, and she doesn't need to do anything more, so why is she not willing to help herself by the way!

Report yourself one more, and you won't lose anything to her!

But she just didn't like it!

If she is stingy and selfish and she recognizes the second, no one dares to recognize the first!

A blast of firecrackers interrupted Lian Hai's thoughts. As soon as he looked up, he saw that the grandfather of the county had already got off the sedan chair, smiling and congratulating Lianze and the others.

The audience was chattering with admiration, their eyes fell on the apricot-yellow satin-covered carriages behind them and the same apricot-yellow satin that the men were holding in their hands.

Well, the apparently flat objects carried by the two males at the beginning are probably the emperor's handwritten plaques!

Lian Haiting's heart burst even more, gritted his teeth.

The county grandfather had a cordial greeting with Lian's family and the elder of Lizheng Village. After congratulating him, he smiled and ordered Lian's family to prepare.

As the master's hand lifted and pushed everything down, all the voices stopped abruptly.

"All the people from above and below are waiting, take the order!"

Lian Fangzhou and others were busy kneeling before the incense case according to the pre-rehearsed order.

Lian Ze and Lian Che are leading.Followed by Sister Lian Fangzhou, A Jian, Grandma Sangu, etc., and then the elders from Lizheng Village.Lian's subordinates followed, and the folks watching the excitement knelt down on the spot, facing the direction of the imperial edict.

Except for the guards and deacons who came with them holding the gift, the rest also knelt down.

The curled sandalwood rose from the incense burner, and the faint sandalwood fragrance gradually diffused in the air. It was quiet and silent, and the scene was solemn and solemn for a while.

The county grandfather held the imperial decree in his hand, stood upright with his head held high, and read it aloud calmly.

The imperial decree was written in four or six parallel prose, extremely neat and charming, and everyone only found it to be very nice, although they did not understand two sentences.

When the county grandfather's voice sounded loudly, Lian Hai suddenly realized that he was only angry and forgot to come forward!

Turning his head and looking around, he actually knelt among the onlookers!

He was so annoyed in his heart that he almost passed away with anger!

Everyone had already knelt down at this time, and even if he wanted to go forward, it was impossible, so he had to bow his head bitterly.

"Accept the decree!" The county grandfather closed the imperial decree with a smile, and everyone thanked, Lian Ze raised his head with both hands to take the imperial decree from the county grandfather, and slowly got up.

Everyone also got up, and for a while, there was another lively congratulation and congratulations.

When he got up, Lian Fangzhou caught a glimpse of Ajian lowering his head slightly with his eyes down in a daze. He hurriedly touched him with an elbow, and chuckled: "What do you want to do? Get up!"

Jane returned to his senses, smiled at her, and stood up with her.

Fortunately, the scene was very lively, and no one noticed them.

A Jane frowned slightly, and she sighed in her heart.

Just when he knelt down to take the order, the feeling seemed to be familiar, as if he had experienced it.

But the memory is looming, always invisible through a layer of mist, it is really annoying!

He was thinking in a daze, and Lian Fangzhou interrupted him.

After the county magistrate announced the decree, he laughed and said: "The Lianjia has contributed a lot to the country and the people, and the contribution lies in the community. This plaque of the'liufangzhijia' is worthy of its name! Mr. Lian, please come forward and uncover the yellow silk. , Let all the neighbors see the demeanor of the saintly prose!"

Everyone laughed and applauded, craned their necks and waited to see.

Lian Ze bowed slightly in response to the words of the grandfather of the county, and Fang stepped forward and carefully opened it, revealing the true face of the plaque.

However, seeing the red sandalwood as the base and the Zhu wood as the frame, there are four big characters "Liufangzhijia", dragon and tiger leaping, in fact, extraordinary. The fonts are carved on the plaques by the craftsmen, brushed with gold powder, and the momentum is shining.

"Okay! Okay!" Everyone applauded and shouted, laughing and applauding.

Someone in the crowd shouted: "This is the character written by the emperor! I saw the character written by the emperor!"

The voice was incomparably excited.

Everyone laughed and said, "Yes, yeah, this is the emperor's handwriting!"

The county grandfather couldn't help but smile: The folkway is simple and honest, the people admire the emperor so much, he is like a king and a father!When you want to come back, add a lot of money, the emperor will definitely be happy!

I don't know who led the head, "Hula" all of a sudden everyone knelt down, kowtow to the plaque, saying "Long live! Long live!" Three prayers before they got up.

"Quiet everyone!" Seeing that the crowd was almost full of excitement, the county grandfather raised his hand and cried out. Seeing that everyone was quiet and looked at him, he smiled and said, "Except for the plaque written by the emperor himself, There are other rewards! There is a house in total, two farms with a total of 2,300 acres, a thousand taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silver, and a thousand horses of colored satin!"
