Chapter six hundred and ninety-eight: Lord Xie Yuan
As the New Year approaches, Ma Lang also relaxes. He takes a book and leads his horse to rest and read on the bank, in a leisurely and elegant manner.
Lao Ma looked happy, and it was very important to be able to keep his heart. That was fine, and there was no need to worry too much. He hoped to have a beautiful family in the future, so he lowered his head and ate grass while thinking about it.
, chew carefully and slowly, which is very suitable for old horses.
All the villagers who pass by Ma Lang now greet him enthusiastically. This is a scholar. He is a scholar recognized by the imperial court. He still has a lot of salary to earn. At least he can have a good life without getting hurt. There is a lot.
People are envious, but who makes them or their sons fail to pass the exam? Who do they blame for failing again and again? They can only say they are unlucky.
"Ma Lang'er, Ma Lang'er, hurry up, hurry up, people are coming from the county town, hurry up now, we can't keep people waiting for a long time."
When Ma Lang heard this, he calculated the time and found that it was almost time. When the results of the rural examination were about to come out, he immediately said: "Oh, I'll be right away." He took the old horse and hurried to the village, but he couldn't let them wait for long.
Wait, even if you don’t know, hurry up.
When Ma Lang arrived, he saw Teacher Wang Tong, hey, and Dean Li, why are they here? Although I don’t know where they are, Hu must be good like this. He hurriedly came forward to say hello.
Then I didn’t know what to do on the sidelines.
"Hehehe, you are Ma Lang, congratulations, congratulations, you have become the top one in this provincial examination, Mr. Jie Yuangong, congratulations."
After the person in the lead said the answer, Ma Lang really didn't know the result when he heard it, while the surrounding villagers took a breath of cold air. It was really not easy. He suddenly became a judge, and he was also Jieyuan.
Come on, number one, number one again.
"Ma Lang'er, why don't you come up and take it? Thank you for these bad guys, otherwise you wouldn't know about this good thing, hahaha." Dean Li said happily, even if he already knew it, it is very interesting to hear it again now.
Happy things.
"Yes, yes, come on, leave Ma Lang'er's calm and clever energy. Thank you very much for coming here to read it."
When Ma Lang heard this, he hurriedly stepped forward and said to the officer: "Thank you, uncle, officer. If you hadn't come here, I wouldn't know the results."
"Nothing, nothing, the little guy is very powerful. He can obtain the qualification of Jie Yuangong at a young age, but the next exam will be several years away. You are too young. No matter how old you are, don't be blindly enterprising.
You need to strengthen your foundation." The officer said very kindly. He admired Mr. Jie Yuangong very much. He has such ability at such a young age. He had to admire him. If it weren't for the age limit,
I'm afraid I have to rely on the number one scholar. After all, the court also needs a sound mind.
Ma Lang touched his head in embarrassment and smiled stupidly, not knowing how to answer.
This is not something people care about anymore, and I also think he is very cute and not so arrogant. This kind of person is very good.
"Ma Lang, no, now you are Ma Juren. You have broken through two levels in one year. You are strong enough. Our academy is also happy for you. By the way, after the Chinese New Year, you have to report to Tianhuo City. Don't forget that this
The imperial court has given you a reward. Due to your outstanding performance, you are not only given the title of Juren, but also a knighthood. Ma Lang listens." The officer's expression immediately changed and he took out the imperial edict.
When the people around him heard this, they were shocked and immediately knelt down on the ground. Ma Lang was the same. His heart was beating so fast that he didn't know what he was talking about. In short, it seemed that he was being granted a baron status. He was young.
A member of the nobility.
Finally, with someone's prompting, Ma Lang came to his senses and sincerely thanked him and accepted the order: "Common people, no, I accept the order."
Then I remembered that I was already a baron and could be regarded as one of the officials. Even if I was not an official, I would not have to face difficulties.
"Okay, get up and work harder in the future. I hope that in a few years, I will get another Huiyuan, and then a No. 1 scholar, and a third Yuan. We are looking forward to it. Hahaha, let's go, little guy, work hard, we
We will meet again, haha." After saying this, the officer took his people and left the village, while the people left behind were still calm in the inconceivable imperial edict.
When everyone came to their senses, especially Dean Li and others, they all looked at him with envy. They didn't know it before, they just thought he was the first. Now they realize that it's not simple, and there are knighthood rewards, which is really extraordinary.
You must know that it is very difficult for civil servants to get a title. Even if they become prime minister, they may not be able to get a title. It can be seen that it is extremely difficult. This guy is really lucky.
In fact, it is also based on strength. In the past, it was not impossible to successfully pass the level, but it is difficult to become Jieyuan, even the top three, let alone Jieyuan. How many years have passed, and now a sudden appearance
, how could the imperial court not grant a reward? No one would come out and make irresponsible remarks. If you have the ability, you can let your children and grandchildren take the exam. If you succeed, you can still be awarded a title.
This is something that the ministers in the court did not pay attention to. Although the title is good, it is not an actual official position, so there was not much interference and it arrived very smoothly. It can be seen that in the world of cultivators, the speed is still very fast. There is no need to
Waited too long.
"Master Ma, congratulations, congratulations, we will have to rely on you in the future, hahaha..." Dean Li and others said with a smile.
"Everywhere, everywhere, I feel dizzy and don't know what I'm thinking. Is this true?" Ma Lang was still unsure.
"Really, really, you see this imperial edict is here, put it away, and it can be passed down in the future. It will be useless if others steal it. If the court finds out, those people will be miserable, but it is a heinous crime.
, Okay, now it’s time to celebrate. We didn’t know that you had such a thing before, but we were not prepared enough. Forget it, it’s good to be lively, otherwise we will be jealous to death. "
Wang Tong's words made everyone remember that before, they were just preparing for Duke Yuan's wedding banquet. The Lord's wedding banquet was obviously not up to standard, but now it's a bit slow to prepare, so they all had to give up apologetically. They were very unhappy with Ma Lang.
Sorry, I didn't fully understand.
"Dean Li, Teacher Wang, it would be great if everyone could prepare a celebration for me. How dare you ask for so much? Keep it simple, keep it simple." Ma Lang said hurriedly. Although he is still young, he still knows how to do things.
, follow the explanation immediately.
Soon everyone in the village was enthusiastically congratulating him. Who told him that even though he was the Duke of Xie Yuan and he was a lord, both of these were great joys. From now on, they had a lord in the village, and his status was extraordinary.
, you can imagine that the surrounding villages will be very lively when they know about it. The village chief is even smiling. He is so beautiful in his heart. Ma Lang is so awesome, which makes them feel proud.
"Brother Ma Lang, Brother Ma Lang, this is for you." Many children brought gifts at the instruction of their parents.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Ma Lang was very happy and kept saying thank you. The room was already full of things.
"You can't let him drink. He's still young. He should wait until he grows up before drinking again, right?" The village chief was about to come to congratulate him. When he saw someone coming over with wine, he immediately stopped in front of Ma Lang and scolded him angrily.
Look, these villagers are really ignorant.
After hearing the village chief's words, these people woke up, immediately smiled honestly, and left immediately. They did not dare to make the village chief angry. That would definitely be very scary. It is better to drink in peace of mind, which makes them more loving.
Be more comfortable.
"Thank you, Grandpa Village Chief." Ma Lang was also a little scared. Although he knew that drinking was not good, he didn't know what to say if he refused. Fortunately, Grandpa Village Chief came and gave him a step down, so he finally didn't make a fool of himself.
No need to worry about drinking anymore.
"It's okay, these little bastards think no one can cure them, they are so stupid." The village chief was also angry, but for him, sincere love and care, he is still young and cannot drink, it is not good to go too far.
.
"Grandpa, sit here. If it weren't for you, I don't know if I would be alive today. I would also like to thank you." Ma Lang said sincerely, with no less respect for the village chief's grandfather in his heart. If it weren't for
He is here, and he really doesn't know if he can survive until now, especially after his parents died. The hardships involved are indescribable to outsiders.
The village chief couldn't help but feel happy, and then sighed and said: "There's no need for these. Grandpa, you know how you feel. It's just that she went too far. After all, we are a family, and she bullied people like this. Now look at it, she must have suffered a loss."
It’s too shameless to come out now, but your parents’ spirits in heaven will definitely be happy that their son can finally honor their ancestors, that’s great, that’s great.”
Ma Lang was extremely excited when he heard that he had no respect for the village chief's grandfather at all. Instead, he felt that he was not enough. He just couldn't express his gratitude. The most important thing in people is to be grateful. This is the existence of Tao, which is everywhere.
Measure everywhere.
"Now you are the symbol of the village. You can't be so childish anymore. Learn more, especially outside. Although having a title can guarantee you no worries, no one can predict the eventuality, so you must be proactive.
You can't be blindly arrogant, you know?" The village chief still taught him carefully, and his sincere love for him made their village glorious.
"Yes, Grandpa Village Chief, I will definitely take note of your teachings and study hard to live up to your expectations." Ma Lang said solemnly. There is no need to explain the excitement in his heart. Basically, he is very happy, but
Just don't be complacent and arrogant.
"Okay, in this case, grandpa can rest assured. After the Chinese New Year, you will go to Tianhuo City. It is further away than here. You never come back often. Take care of yourself and don't make yourself uncomfortable. It's time to relax.
