Lin Mingqing passed the exam.

    This is a great event to celebrate.

    This is not only for the Lin Yi family, but also for the entire Lin Family Village.

    So, since we want to celebrate, we must put on a feast.

    Lin Yiwei felt much more relaxed since he resigned from the Lin family village two years ago.

    He doesn't have to run every day for the road to becoming rich in Linjia Village, and he doesn't have to worry about the villagers of Linjia Village every day.

    Their family is just an ordinary villager in Linjia Village.

    And when he has time, he will also go to Linjiayuan in Taoyuan Village to walk around and chat with the two old men.

    As for the rest of the family, except for the younger son who needs to study, everyone else is a leisurely day at sunrise and sunset.

    Moreover, in the past two years, because of the improved methods of crop planting promulgated by the imperial court, which required the villagers to use it compulsorily, a huge harvest has been achieved.

    Each mu of fertile land can produce five stone grains, and some diligent and meticulous management of crops can yield six or seven stone per mu.

    Compared with the past, now there is an increase of one to three stone per acre.

    You must know that in the past, no matter how well the crops were done, it was only four or five stones per mu. This is still the highest record. Generally, the yield is three or four stones per mu.

    In this way, after paying the agricultural tax, there is no surplus food, no food and clothing, and only one meal after another hungry.

    Now, the two years have seen a bumper grain harvest across the country, and tax revenue has remained the same. Even so, most farmers still have more than half of their surplus grain after paying the tax, so the problem of food and clothing will naturally be solved.

    If you have food, you can sell it for money.

    In the past two years, grain has been like salt. The imperial government has controlled the price of grain purchased by merchants from farmers. It is not that the merchants say that the price of grain is low when it is low, and high when it is high.

    This is fundamentally beneficial for farmers not to be bullied by businessmen, and if businessmen do grain business, they must go to the government to apply for a grain purchase certificate!

    As for how to sell the grain after the merchant receives it, some merchants set the price by themselves.

    The farmers of Longyan Country are really excited about this move.

    So the farmer's day is getting better.

    In addition to food and clothing, you can have some extra money to buy one or two sets of new clothes for the whole family. Such a good day, but they never dared to think about it before.

    However, except for some farmers in Linjia Village.

    Because they have been restricted from farming by Lin Yuelan.

    Cannot use the improved method of planting crops, which means that their harvest is less than half, in addition to paying various taxes, not to mention surplus grain, even food and clothing can not be solved.

    They can only watch other people's life get better and better, and they can only sit on the threshold and sigh all day long, constantly resenting those who go to the capital.

    They cursed in their hearts, "If you want to sue, just sue, how can you get them involved?"

    It's just that no matter how much they sigh or complain, it can't change the fact that they are getting poorer.

    In the end, they couldn't help but begged Lizheng, oh no, now it's just Lin Yiwei, who has nothing to do, but of course he was rejected by Lin Yiwei's words.

    He said, "I'm not right. It's no use begging me."

    Those people cried, "No, as long as Li Zheng goes to ask Princess Lin...for mercy, the princess will definitely not care anymore. Otherwise, how will our life go on?"

    Lin Yi's face darkened and he said sternly, "Let me go to the princess to intercede, it is better for you to intercede yourself, it is more sincere, maybe, the princess is very merciful and will really forgive It's you!"

    Lin Changzhi's mother was startled, then said weakly, "But, we are afraid!" They were really afraid of Lin Yuelan, who had become a princess.

    Lin Yiwei sneered at first, and then said disdainfully, "You guys are afraid, shouldn't I be afraid? If I want others to forgive and gain benefits, but I don't want to apologize sincerely, how can there be in the world? Such a good thing! Also, your family has done such a thing, the princess has already been magnanimous, it is only a small punishment for you, and you still have the face to ask the princess for forgiveness? I think you are so stupid!"

    "Lizheng, how can you say that?" said another family member who was involved in the framed accusation.

    Lin Yiwei looked at the very angry woman with sharp eyes, he said lightly, "Lin Jin's family, I said I'm not Lizheng! Also, am I wrong? Isn't it? If it wasn't for the magnanimity of the princess, it was just a small punishment for you. With Lin Jin's guilt, all of your family must be imprisoned, not for ten or twenty years, or directly beheaded! You know, today's princess has an extraordinary identity!"

    Lin Yiwei also reminded Lin Yuelan of her current identity.

    The woman who was opposed by Lin Yiwei, listened to Lin Yiwei's words, her face was pale with fright, her spine was cold, but she was very dissatisfied and said to Lin Yiwei , "So, do you just watch our days go by and get harder?"

    Lin Yiwei looked at their unrepentant attitude, his heart was really cold, and then he said sharply, "I said it is no longer righteous, there is no way to solve the problem for you!"

    Speaking, he stepped into his room and closed the door, before closing the door, he reminded them a little reluctantly, "I said, instead of begging me, go to the princess in good faith. Apologize and beg!"

     

    I kept complaining in my heart, this Lin Yiwei obviously has the ability to solve problems for them, but he just pretended to ignore them and always used words to perfunctory them, it was too much.

    He also said to apologize to Lin Yuelan with sincerity.

    Hmph, it really doesn't hurt to stand talking, if Lin Yuelan is so good at talking, she won't kill anyone.

    Besides, who caused their current poverty situation, not Lin Yuelan.

    These people are ruthless like the resentful Lin Yuelan.

    Isn’t that just making up a few lies? These rural people, they make up some lies all day long to say this and that, but, isn’t it okay?

    How come to Lin Yuelan's place, it becomes the crime of beheading?

    Hmph, Lin Yuelan, the nemesis, will surely defeat their Lin Village.

    These people don't think about it, and they resent Lin Yuelan. Although they hide it well, when they occasionally talk to people and talk about their grievances, this kind of eyes will be revealed.

    Some smart people, when they hear that they are complaining again, leave immediately, so as not to cause trouble and implicate the family. And there are even more people who categorically refuse to interact with these people.

    How could Lin Yuelan not know the complaints of these people?

    However, when those people were not in front of her eyes, she was just happy to watch a play.

    After all, being excluded by others and getting poorer as time goes by, one day they will go crazy themselves.

    Lin Yiwei is home, beaming, the whole yard has been hung with red cloth, pasted the door couplet, and also borrowed a few large bonsai from Taoyuan Village, two pots are placed at the gate of the yard, and six pots are placed in the courtyard middle.

    In these bonsais, there are all kinds of beautiful flower branches cultivated in the peach garden, and they are very valuable.

    This makes other villagers both envious and jealous.

    Because, in these eight villages, only Lin Yiwei has the face, and can borrow things from Taoyuan Village, and the borrowed things are extremely expensive.

    Some people may not be able to buy a bonsai here even if they don’t eat or drink for the rest of their lives.

    I heard that these bonsai can be liked by the rich and famous, and the most important thing is that they are produced from Taoyuan Village, which is the iconic princess of Guguo, and buying these things at a high price is not only for face, And maybe it can be close to the princess of Guguo

    Anyone is willing to do this kind of business!

    But these expensive bonsai, Taoyuan Village said they would borrow it, which shows a lot of face!

    For this reason, many wealthy people who are unable or unable to climb Taoyuan Village will try their best to make friends with Lin Yiwei's family.

    Of course, Lin Yiwei's family is very measured.

    I will never introduce people to Taoyuan Village, or to Lin Yuelan.

    This is the fundamental reason why Lin Yuelan couldn't bear the embarrassment of Lin Yiwei's family.

    Because, they are very self-aware, very measured, and they are very careful. If they can not embarrass Lin Yuelan, he will definitely not embarrass Lin Yuelan.

    A lot of face, Lin Yuelan is also willing to give Lin Yiwei.

    In the courtyard, more than 20 wine tables have been set up, inviting the whole village and these eight villages, and Lin Yi is a family friend.

    On each wine table, there is a bottle of medium wine, as well as some Taoyuan Village fruits, such as red cherry tomatoes, and citrus, and Lin Yiwei's own home Fried peanuts and melon seeds.

    The surrounding villagers have never seen such a solemn and precious banquet.

    These fried peanuts and melon seeds can be found in their living standards now, but this wine, even if it is medium, the price is still very expensive, I heard that it is more than a hundred taels what.

     

    These fruits are cheaper than the previous two years, but no matter how cheap they are, they can't afford it.

    How could they be willing to give up more than ten taels per pound?

    But now, these things that only rich people enjoy, today they enjoy it in Lin Yiwei's home.

    What a luxury!

    However, they had a good time today!

    Anyone who comes to Lizheng's house for wedding wine will be attracted by the things on the table as soon as they enter the courtyard.

    However, before the banquet, they did not dare to disturb the food on the table. Even if they wanted to eat, they drooled, and the children were clamoring to eat, but they were pulled tightly by adults live!

    This is no ordinary wedding.

    This is a banquet held in Lin Ming and Qing Dynasties. If you win the jury, it means you can be an official.

      It's easy to say something, after all, the folks in the village will only open one eye and close one eye.

     

    I heard that the villagers of Linjia Village were beheaded just because they said gossip about the princess of Guguo. To be a lonely ghost is very pitiful.

    For them, they can't have a place to live after death, and become a lonely ghost, but it's more terrible than beheading.

    Therefore, the old man and his family gave them face and invited them to come over for a banquet, so they can't mess with it, can they?

    "Congratulations, congratulations!" All the guests would say congratulations to Lin Yiwei and others who stood at the door to greet the guests, "Congratulations, Mr. Juren!"

    Generally, those who are in the middle of the class are called Xiucai Gong, and only after they are in the middle will they be called Juren Master, and Lin Yiwei, as Juren Master, is his father, of course, he is called Juren Grandpa.

    Lin Yiwei said cheerfully, "Thank you, thank you, please come in!"

    Guests from all villages came to Lin Yiwei's home early.

    As for the people in this village, each household has sent a representative to help, such as washing vegetables, smashing bowls, moving tables and stools, etc.

    Of course, there are also a few households, because they have a grudge against the Lin Yiwei family, so they don't come to help, they just come to order, have a meal, and leave.

    "Master Juren, when will this Master Juren get home?"

    According to the customs of their county, the banquet must be held on the day when the master of the house comes home.

    The meaning is of course, one is to congratulate and congratulate it, and the other is to wash the dust for it.

    Lin Yiwei smiled and said, "Yesterday, the letter from the Ming and Qing Dynasties said that it will arrive at noon in the morning."

    "Congratulations!" After the guest said congratulations again, he entered the courtyard.

    After seeing the guests arriving one after another, Lin Yiwei checked the time, it was almost noon.

    At four o'clock noon, that is, around 12 noon.

     Mrs. Lin Yiwei was very happy today, wearing a red silk cotton, with a gold hairpin, a pair of gold earrings, and a gold bracelet, for a rural woman, such a Dress up, but they dream of being rich.

    Mrs. Lin took out all the jewelry at the bottom of the press box for her son's banquet today.

    Their life was not bad, and in the past two years, it has become better. Lin Yiwei bought gold jewelry for his wife without hesitation.

    Not only Mrs. Lin, but also the family members of the family also added some jewelry, either silver or gold.

    This time, for such a grand wedding banquet, all the women's family members, of course, brought out the gold and silver jewelry that these men bought for them.

    Other women listened, they were really envious, thinking in their hearts, after going back this time, they will grind their men to buy some accessories for themselves no matter what.

    Even if it’s not gold, silver is fine!

    "It's back, it's back..."

    It was noon, and the people who were guarding the entrance of the village immediately ran back to report.

    "Master Juren is back, Master Juren is back!" said a young man.

    "Changqing, have Ming and Qing Dynasties really come back?" Lin Yiwei asked excitedly.

    "Yes, Uncle." Lin Changqing replied with a smile, "Brother Ming and Qing is very majestic, carrying a red silk, riding a horse, and is rushing home. Oh, followed by the county. How about Master Ling! Now we are almost at the entrance of the village!"

    As soon as Lin Changqing's voice fell, everyone could hear some whistling sounds.

    Lin Yiwei immediately reacted and yelled at Lin Mingliang, "Liangzi, hurry up, grab the firecrackers, we'll rush to the entrance of the village now!"

    According to the rules, the village will set off firecrackers to welcome him after the first lift of the master.

    Lin Mingliang picked up a big firecracker and walked towards the door.

    When I walked to the gate of the village, I saw Xinli Zhenglin Changfeng, already waiting there with firecrackers.

    Lin Mingliang glanced at it, touched the back of his head honestly, and asked with a smile, "Lizheng, so you have prepared firecrackers!"

    Lin Changfeng glared at him angrily, and said, "Lin Mingqing was elected to become a master of the people, but to make the village look better and honor the blessing of my Lin family village, the village must prepare firecrackers of course. Welcome to celebrate!"

    After Lin Yiwei stepped down from office, most of the villagers in the village did not know what to do for a while. Later, some people thought of Lin Changfeng.

    Lin Changfeng is a decent person and has a good relationship with the people in the village. The most important thing is that he also has a good relationship with Taoyuan Village.

    So, everyone elected Lin Changfeng as Li Zheng.

    Lin Changfeng was not willing to take such a hot potato, but under the persuasion of the villagers, he reluctantly took over the position of Lizheng.

    Fortunately, after the last incident where Lin Changzhi lost his life, the villagers of Linjia Village are obviously much more secure, and there have been no major incidents in the past two years.

    What only gave him a faint headache was that those who were named by Lin Yuelan asked him to beg Lin Yuelan for mercy.

    However, Lin Changfeng is a little more hard-hearted than Lin Yiwei.

      If you want him to beg, don't go!

    In short, he wouldn't give himself such a thankless and offended chore.

    After those people can't do anything, they start to grind the forest again.

    However, Lin was also indifferent.

    "Hey, come, come, hurry up, firecrackers!" Lin Changfeng saw the people who had already approached, and immediately made the guy on the ignition line shout.

    Here, Lin Mingliang also reacted, and he immediately lit firecrackers.

    The sound of crackling firecrackers was mixed with the joyful screams of children.

    When the firecrackers were halfway down, Lin Mingqing rode on the horse and waited for a while, the sound of the firecrackers stopped, he turned over and dismounted, and the county magistrate also walked down from the sedan chair, dressed in the county magistrate official .

    Led by Lin Changfeng, he said to Lin Mingqing, "Zheng Lin Changfeng in the Lin family village has been elected as a master, congratulations to the master!"

    Immediately said to the magistrate, "The grass people knock to see the magistrate!"

    After Lin Changfeng finished speaking, some people behind him said, "Congratulations, Master Juren, and meet the county magistrate!"

    Lin Mingqing said with a smile, "Thank you folks!"

    The county magistrate also waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please get up!"

    After Lin Changfeng got up, he made a "please" gesture and said, "Your Majesty, Master Juren, please!"

    The group followed Lin Changfeng and Lin Mingliang into Linjia Village.

    First, they went to the ancestral hall of the Lin family village to meet their ancestors. Lin Yiwei and some clan elders were already waiting there.

    After that, they returned to Lin Yiwei's home.

    When the county magistrate arrived in the Lin's yard, he was very surprised when he saw the things on the table, and he understood it immediately.

    He looked around again and didn't seem to see the person he wanted to see, then he looked at Lin Yiwei and asked secretly, "Master Juren, will the princess come here? ?"
