Chapter 573 Lian Hai Asked Angrily

Lian Fangzhou glanced at Lian Hai in surprise, and said, "Cousin, what did you say! I got the news yesterday that my cousin is studying hard and working hard, so why should I bother you? No, I asked someone to invite him at the last minute. Cousin, I didn't delay my cousin at all!"

Speaking of asking people to invite Lian Hai at this time, not only did Lian Fangzhou feel ashamed and guilty, but on the contrary, he looked very thoughtful about 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 do this!" Lian Hai was so angry that he was so angry: "How can you do this!"

Lian Fangzhou smiled 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 why I told my cousin is just to invite my cousin to come over. Look at the excitement, it's just festive! After all, my cousin is going to participate in the township exam soon!"

"What did you say!" Lian Hai was taken aback, and his eyes widened in disbelief: "You said it has nothing to do with me! You promised me before, and I have my credit for this matter! How can you not speak up? Word! Fangzhou, don't forget that I'm your cousin, and you believe in it too!"

Lian Fangzhou was about to answer, only to hear gongs and drums blaring together, "The imperial decree is here - idle people and other people avoid -" the shouts rose louder, so he hurriedly stopped talking, stepped forward and stood with Lian Ze and the others. Together.

Even Hai glanced at her, but he had to hold back the words in his heart for a while, and also stepped forward.

The more he thought about it, the more regretful and angry he became.

What he regrets is why he believed Lianlian Fangzhou's words so easily in the first place? You should have seen her write her "credits" on paper and send her to the county government office or Mrs. Ding with her own eyes!

Annoyed is that this cousin is the hardest-hearted and the most ruthless in her actions. Since she said those words just now, it can be seen that seven or eight times out of ten, she did not include herself in the credit! Why is she so stingy and ruthless, it's just a matter of talking, and she doesn't need to do more, why isn't she willing to help herself by the way!

Report yourself one more, and there will be no loss to her!

But she wasn't happy about it!

If it is said that she is stingy and selfish, she will be second, and no one will dare to accept first!

A burst of loud firecrackers interrupted Lian Hai's thoughts. When he looked up, he saw that the county magistrate had already got out of the sedan chair and was congratulating Lian Ze and the others with a smile.

Everyone in the audience chatted with envy, and their eyes fell on the several carriages behind them covered with apricot satin and the things that were also covered with apricot satin that the gentlemen were holding in their hands.

Well, most of the obviously flat objects that the two princes at the beginning were carrying were the imperial plaques inscribed by the emperor himself!

Lian Haiting's heart became even more angry, and he gritted his teeth.

The county magistrate greeted Lian's family members and Lizheng Village elders cordially and politely. After congratulating them, he smiled and ordered Lian's family members to prepare for receiving the order.

As the master raised his hand and exerted force on everything, all the sounds stopped abruptly.

"Everyone from the top and bottom of the house waits, accept the order!"

Lian Fangzhou and others were busy kneeling before the incense table in the order they had rehearsed.

The leaders were Lian Ze and Lian Che. Followed by Sister Lian Fangzhou, A Jian, Grandma San Gu, etc., and then the elders of Lizheng Village. Even the servants followed, and the villagers who were watching the excitement knelt down and faced the imperial decree.

Except for those who came with the errands and deacons holding the royal gift in their hands, everyone else knelt down.

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

The county magistrate held the imperial decree in his hand, stood up straight with his head held high, and read it out loud.

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

When the county magistrate's voice sounded loudly, Lian Haicai suddenly realized that he was only concerned about being angry and forgot to come forward!

Turning around to look around, he was actually kneeling among the onlookers!

He was annoyed in his heart, so angry that he almost turned his back!

At this time, everyone had already knelt down, and it was impossible for him to go forward even if he wanted to, so he had to bow his head in hatred.

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

Everyone also got up, and for a while, there was a burst of lively congratulations, which were endless.

When he got up, Lian Fangzhou caught a glimpse of A Jian with his head lowered slightly and his eyes drooping in a trance. He hurriedly touched him with his elbow, and said with a chuckle, "What are you thinking of in such a trance, get up!"

Ah Jian returned to her senses, smiled at her, and stood up with her.

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

A Jian's brows were slightly frowned, and she sighed in her heart.

Just when he knelt down to receive the decree just now, the feeling seemed familiar, as if he had experienced it before.

But the memory is looming, and it is always difficult to see through a layer of fog, which is really annoying!

He was in a trance, when Lian Fangzhou interrupted him.

After the county magistrate announced the decree, he smiled and said: "Lian's family has contributed a lot to the country and the people, and the merit is due to the society. This plaque of 'Liufang's House' can be regarded as well deserved! Young Master Lian, please come forward and uncover the yellow silk. Let all the neighbors see the style of the saint's personal writing!"

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

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

But seeing the red sandalwood as the bottom and the vermilion wood as the frame, there are four big characters of "Liufang Zhijia" on it.

"Good! Good!" The crowd applauded and applauded, laughing loudly.

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly, "These are the words written by the emperor! I saw the words written by the emperor!"

The sound is unparalleled.

Everyone "coaxed" and laughed, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this is the emperor's own handwriting!"

The county magistrate couldn't help but twitched his beard and smiled: "The folk customs are simple and honest. The people admire the emperor so much. He is really like a king and a father!" When I want to come back to the decree, I will add a heavy stroke, and the emperor will definitely be delighted!

I don't know who led the head, "Hula" all of a sudden, everyone knelt down again, kowtowed to the plaque and said "Long live! Long live!" After three prostrations, they got up.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Seeing that everyone was almost excited, the county magistrate raised his hand and shouted loudly. Seeing that everyone was quiet and looked at him, he smiled and said: "Except for this plaque written by the emperor himself, There are other rewards! There is one mansion, two farms, two thousand three hundred acres of fertile land, one thousand taels of gold, five thousand taels of silver, and one thousand pieces of colorful satin!"
