"The lantern given by the county master?"

"What kind of lantern does it have to do with the county master?"

Everyone looked at the old patriarch in confusion, puzzled for a while.

The old patriarch is a bit old, and this is the thing that makes him happiest during this period.

It is not the character of the old patriarch to walk at night in brocade clothes. If there is something rewarded by the county master, of course he has to tell it.

Spread the word through word of mouth!

Otherwise, the lantern that the county master rewarded Huang Tinghui would be a broken lantern.

It has no practical significance.

But if this matter spreads, the meaning will be different.

Anyone who hears this incident will subconsciously think that Huang Tinghui is someone valued by the county boss.

In Ruian County, isn’t the county boss the king?

This has a different meaning for Huangjiacun.

The old patriarch has become a mature man. The last time the village and the neighboring village failed to compete for water, he has always been brooding about it.

Now that he is holding on to the tiger skin that the county master gave to Huangjia Village, how could the old patriarch not use it.

"It's just what happened a few days ago. When Brother Hui was celebrating New Year's Eve in the county town, he happened to meet the county master and enjoy it with the people."

"The county master asked a question to all the scholars present, and only Brother Hui answered it."

"The county master is very happy. He values ​​Brother Hui's talents very much." The old patriarch, leaning on a cane, cheerfully said to everyone with gifts, "At that time, the county master told Brother Hui that he hoped to be able to work with Hui in the future.

Brother, I am a minister in the same palace!"

"It shows how talented our brother Hui is and how much he is valued by the county master."

"Brother Hui's future is limitless, and the future of Huangjiacun is limitless!"

The old patriarch told everyone what happened a few days ago in a lively and vivid manner.

Hearing what the old patriarch said, Huang Tinghui could only smile bitterly, he didn't know what to say.

However, the old patriarch is the backbone of Huangjia Village, and he always has a reason for doing things, so Huang Tinghui didn't say much.

And most of what the old patriarch said is true.

"Brother Hui's talent and learning were appreciated by the county master, so he was rewarded with a lantern by the county master?"

"There are so many scholars in the city, and all of them are knowledgeable. How can Brother Hui stand out among the scholars in the city?"

"Brother Hui...Brother Hui is so powerful..."

"Let me just say that since I was a child, I have seen Brother Hui's intelligence as the seed and material for studying..."

"That's the truth, that's the truth. I feel the same way..."

After hearing the old patriarch tell what happened a few days ago, everyone was shocked and horrified at first.

In the eyes of everyone, although Brother Hui has become somewhat better, he is no longer a bastard.

But he is just a scholar who has read for a few days and knows some words.

They did not think highly of Huang Tinghui, but the words of the old patriarch shocked everyone in front of them.

Bastard?

What a bastard!

How could Brother Hui be a bastard? He is a scholar!

He is a talented scholar. If he had no talent, how could he be valued by the county master?

How is it possible to get the red lantern as a reward from the county master?

In that instant, Huang Tinghui's image was suddenly elevated.

Everyone suddenly discovered that Huang Tinghui had an "aura" that was not seen before.

No matter what era it is in, the aura brought by power can instantly elevate a person's image.

Huang Tinghui is at this stage right now, and his past "misdeeds" have been automatically blocked by everyone.

Instead, there is the image of "talented people".

"Brother Hui is the seed of reading in our Huangjia Village. Who will dare to underestimate our old Huang family in the future? We also have scholars, and they are scholars who are valued by the county master."

"Hey, when I went to pay New Year's greetings this year, I had to give my father-in-law a good talk. He still looked down on me and our Lao Huang family. Now our Lao Huang family has a scholar who is valued by the county boss. I think

What did he say!"

"This matter needs to be spoken out, especially to the Zhang family. We need to let them know that last time these idiots said that our old Huang family had no scholars, and that our literate one was just a bastard. I was so angry this time.

Let me see if they have anything to say!"

…

These uncles and brothers, these brothers and sisters were discussing animatedly, and just looking at their expressions, they were much more excited than Huang Tinghui himself.

No wonder they are like this, for ordinary people in a county town, the county boss is already king.

They are their parents.

Naturally, they were in awe of the county master.

Now that I have received a lantern as a reward from the county master, isn’t that a great brag?

"Old patriarch, I think after this year is over, everyone will know about this lantern."

Huang Tinghui said to the old patriarch with a wry smile.

He was not a showy person, and if he didn't want to make the old patriarch happy, he wouldn't have answered the question and got the lantern back.

"Hey, you kid!"

"This is a good day for our Huangjia Village to feel proud and proud. It is a great thing!"

"In the past, we were bullied and looked down upon by people from other villages!"

"Now that we have the county master's lantern, what else do they dare to say?"

"They will have some respect for us, and they will not dare to bully us too blatantly!"

"Because of this lantern, because of your relationship with the county master, and even more because of you!"

"Boy, do you understand?" the old patriarch said cheerfully.

As expected of a man who has matured with age, the old patriarch can see clearly.

This matter can only be valuable if it is publicized.

If Huangjiacun wants to fight for its own interests and live a better life, it must have someone like Huang Tinghui.

After all, those who are valued by the county master must be talented.

What if a talented scholar really becomes famous one day?

Do they dare to offend?

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty.

That’s the truth!

Of course, Huang Tinghui can only bring real awe to others if he really achieves the imperial examination.

This was also the pressure the old patriarch put on Huang Tinghui.

Huang Tinghui knew that the old patriarch valued him very much.

For Huang Tinghui, but also for the entire Huangjia Village.

After hearing what the old patriarch said, Huang Tinghui also smiled and said nothing more.

At this time, the old patriarch also murmured to himself: "Next year when the government servants come to our village to collect grain taxes, I will carry this lantern from the county master."

"When these vampires see this lantern, they don't dare to take too many benefits from us!"

Um?

Huang Tinghui was stunned for a moment when he heard the old patriarch's words.

How can a lantern be used in this way?

But considering the reality of this world and the complexity of human hearts.

Huang Tinghui felt that all this was extremely reasonable.

At this moment, Huang Tinghui admired the old patriarch to the point of admiration.

The old patriarch used the tiger skin as a banner, but he squeezed the value of the useless lantern to the extreme.

It’s so awesome!
