Chapter 10 Where to find fame

(Please collect, please collect, please collect)

The house of the small stone bridge is very lively. I have never seen so much silver in my neighbor's house, but the fact is in front of me. A plate of silver ingots were moved down by Li Daniu and placed on the big stone mill in the yard. The neighbors surrounded them envied and happily, and praised them with their mouths.

Song Nan's mother Liu Shi and Ping'er and others were a little at a loss. They didn't expect Song Nan to do what they said. After listening to Li Da Niu's story of taking the silver, Liu felt even more incredible. Yan, the eldest woman of Song, had experienced the meanness and fierceness of the Song family. She was abused and bullied by her. Now think about it They are a little afraid that it is incredible that her son can get part of the family business back from her.

After a happy turn, everyone was worried again. Hearing Li Daniu say that Song Nan was left by the central mediator. Will the Song family be unfavorable to Song Nan?

"Da Niu, will the Song family regret leaving Nan'er as the official? Do you want to inquire? If there is really trouble, it's better to send this money back to others. Although the money is good, my son's safety is more important. Song's mother was worried.

Li Daniu scratched his head and said, "I don't look like it. Brother Nan ordered me to come back with the silver, saying that the official invited Brother Nan to drink and talk, not like he was looking for trouble."

Uncle Zhong turned around and said, "Madam, go and have a look."

Song's mother nodded and said, "There is Uncle Lao Zhong. Why do I feel that I have nothing in my heart? I'm afraid something will happen."

Everyone's expressions became serious, and the flying wealth is often accompanied by disasters. It's almost an hour. Brother Nan hasn't come back yet. Don't really happen, it's not worth it. Now this lawsuit can't be eaten. The little brother of the Song family is just recovering from a serious illness and can't stand the boards. Dozens of boards go down, and he doesn't want him. Little life.

Uncle Zhong separated the crowd and walked out of the courtyard. As soon as he opened the firewood door, he suddenly shouted in surprise: "Young master is back. Thank God, young master, are you all right?"

Song Nan just turned the corner of the alley and saw Uncle Zhong coming forward with a happy face. He said puzzled, "What's wrong? What can happen to me? Is the bull back?"

Uncle Zhong's excited tears were about to come down and said repeatedly, "It's been an hour since I came back. Madam is worried that you will be detained by the officials. The old slave is looking for you."

Song Nan laughed and said, "My mother is too timid. I'm fine. Come in."

While talking, Song's mother and Xiao Ping have gone out of the courtyard door. Seeing Song Nan's unharmed appearance, a stone fell to the ground. Song's mother's hands were folded, and Song Nan took her mother's arm and returned to the yard.

"Brother Nan is back, good boy, you have the ability." The neighbors said with a gossip.

Song Nan smiled and arched his hand and said, "What kind of ability is this? It's what I deserve."

After saying that, he bowed his head and whispered in Song's mother's ear, "Mom, how about Zhou Ji give some money to the neighbors?"

Song's mother nodded repeatedly and said, "My son is in charge. This is what it should be."

Song Nan smiled and said, "My mother is the most kind person in the world."

Song Nan stepped to the edge of the stone mill, looked at the silver piled up like a hill, and said loudly, "Uncles and aunts usually take good care of my mother and son. Although this is not a matter can be reciated by money, please allow me to express my feelings. Ping'er, Da Niu, you come to send silver, ten taels per household, to express your feelings."

The neighbors opened their mouths in surprise. Ten taels of silver, which is a large amount. Everyone is exhausted. They only earn twelve or three taels of silver a year. Except for eating and dressing, there is no surplus. Song Nan's action is ten taels, which is for the poor people. It's a huge amount of money falling from the sky. With this huge amount of money, this year's life is much better.

"Brother Nan, this can't be done. This is your money. How can we ask for it for nothing? It can't be done." Most of the neighbors are simple people, and these words are not all hypocritical refusals.

Song Nan laughed and said, "Take it. My mother and son have lived in Xiaoshiqiao for five years. All the villagers have been taking good care of them. There is no labor at home, and the villagers who work hard work help Zhang Luo. I remember these. Silver is nothing, and you can earn it again without it, but this feeling is difficult to buy. If you don't accept it, it's up to see. I can't afford my mother and son. This money is not dirty money. That's the property that my mother and son deserve.

Song's mother also smiled and said, "Yes, don't refuse. My son is full of heart. Don't refuse."

In fact, the neighbors still want it from the bottom of their hearts, but they just feel very sorry, but since the son of the Song family persisted, they can't be too pretentious; the women secretly pulled the corners of their husband's clothes and shook, signaling to go up to get money, and don't say any polite words.

Li Daniu and Ping'er took the silver and distributed it from house to house. Each household was only ten taels, but only a dozen households. Although more than 100 taels of silver is a large amount, it is nothing in Song Nan's opinion. In Song Nan's opinion, this money is absolutely worth spending. Although the neighbors did not take care of themselves before for their own money, they can repay them. It is a very happy thing for both sides.

"Uncles and aunts can make a lot of money in a muffled voice. Don't go out to publicize it. If you teach more people to learn that they all want to get one, our family will go bankrupt." Song Nan joked.

Everyone laughed, tucked the silver tightly inside, and went home one after another to have fun. When everyone was separated, Song Nan picked up ten pieces of silver and handed them over to Da Niu and said, "Brother Da Niu, these fifty taels of silver are extra for your family. There were many people just now, so it was inconvenient to take action. You kick them home and give them to Aunt Li. Come back quickly and help me save the money in Qianzhuang. If you leave so much money at home, won't you be eye-catching tonight?

Li Daniel waved his hand repeatedly and said, "This is not good. Brother Nan, how can I ask you so much money?"

Song Nan said, "No, then I'll throw it into the ditch outside the door. Didn't I say that I will take you to enjoy all the wealth of the world in the future. You can't stand fifty taels of silver. You won't be scared to death if I will give you a golden mountain in the future."

The bull scratched his head and said, "I... I haven't got so much money. I'm a little guilty."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Look at your promisingness. Go back quickly. I can't get a lot of money alone. By the way, borrow an ox cart. Let's move the ox cart and send it to Qianzhuang."

The big cow nodded repeatedly, holding silver as if taking care of a newborn baby, bowed his back and put his feet in a strange posture.

After a while, Da Niu came with a ox cart. Uncle Zhong and Da Niu moved silver together. The remaining 1,800 taels of silver were left for reserve, and all the rest were saved in the bank for silver tickets, which was handed over to Song's mother and locked in the iron box.

That night, leek and mutton dumplings were cooked on two large plates. The family ate dumplings livelyly and smiled without saying a word. Song Nan sighed: Money is really strange. Without it, everything is sad. With it, everything is suddenly bold and comfortable.

After getting a sum of money, the family's livelihood problem was worry-free for at least three years, and the whole family did not move to live in the house on North Street. Song's mother's memory of that house was not good. Song Nan also understood this, so she asked Uncle Zhong to rent out the house, which was also a small way of money.

For Song Nan, the biggest problem is not that she has no livelihood, but the upcoming autumn hometown test; Song's mother is not a talkative person, but from her silent eyes, it has been a spur, forcing Song Nan to bury her head in the old paper pile to deal with those eight articles of poetry and clouds.

I have to say that although the eight-share articles are pedantic and old format is constrained, Song Nan believes that the ancients who can write these articles are really geniuses. Even those who have obtained a degree from famous universities in later generations are unable to master the essence of them. What's more, in addition to the form, the most difficult thing for the eight-part article is their thoughts. Thinking about the set of Confucianism, such as self-cultivation, loyalty, Lunchang, etc., this is a disaster for Song Nan. A person who travels through future generations wants to accept these views completely without pretentiousness, and expresses them in literary words, which is simply a fool's dream.

In any case, Qiu Yan arrived as scheduled at the end of August. Song Nan had to leave for Datongfu Gongyuan to participate in the township examination. This matter became the top priority of the Song family. Three days before the departure date, Song's mother and Ping'er had already packed their clothes to buy the necessary things, and even bought a van carriage quite a lot of money. For the special car, because Song's mother was worried that Song Nan's weak body could not withstand the journey all the way, even if she spent nearly 100 taels of silver for this, she would not hesitate to do so.

Song Nan was speechless. He wanted to shout: Don't give too much hope! The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment! But after seeing Song's mother, Xiaoping'er and Uncle Zhong's busy, this sentence can't be said in any case, so she can only sigh secretly and pray that the literary stars in the sky are drunk or their heads are caught in the door, so that they can be famous.
