Although I already knew the contents of this plaque.
But the moment they actually saw it, the whole street fell silent, and everyone's eyes were filled with excitement and shock.
This was bestowed by His Majesty himself!
Once this plaque is hung, it will be a unique honor in Nanyang.
A brand new big family, the Nanyang Cui family, is about to rise and become the most respected and prestigious family in Nanyang!
"Cui Xian, old man, please help me carry the plaque."
The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites looked at Cui Xian and Old Cui and said with a smile, "Don't disappoint His Majesty."
Old Mrs. Cui looked at the plaque, her face flushed with excitement and she was speechless.
She should be excited.
Because today's Cui family is definitely the most prosperous and proud one in the entire Nanyang City, no doubt about it!
The Ministry of Rites will record this plaque-awarding ceremony in the "Veritable Records", and the Nanyang County Annals will also include a detailed article on it.
The Cui family already has the confidence to open their own family tree!
Witnessed by countless people.
The excited old Cui, together with Cui Xian, the right vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the guards, carried the plaque.
Prefect Song and County Magistrate Ye Huaifeng had even been waiting at the door of Cui's house, carefully helping to hang up the plaque in advance.
This scene is truly jaw-dropping.
But by the time the plaque was hung, people no longer cared about anything else.
The salute roared twice.
The plaque bestowed by the emperor himself was hung high above the Cui family’s door.
Even the two words "Cui's House" have to be ranked below.
With the plaque with these eight words on it, no matter who comes to the Cui family in the future, no matter what their status, they will automatically lower their backs!
The nine-year-old Xianger did what he said a year ago -
Bring honor to the Cui family!
As the patriarch of the Cui family, he is one of the protagonists of today's event.
Old Cui, feeling proud, held Xian'er's hand and stood under her own imperially bestowed plaque, smiling excitedly: "Thank you all for your hard work and concern for my Xian."
"A feast has been prepared in the house, please enjoy it, sirs."
"And all the elders and fellow villagers who came to support us are so enthusiastic that we cannot entertain them one by one. But with the support of the prefect and the county magistrate, we built a porridge stall on Nanyang Street and distributed some wedding money so that everyone can come and pray for good luck."
“I hope that the people of Nanyang will live a better and better life!”
She finished her words.
The crowd cheered immediately.
It seems that after this period of experience, Old Cui can now speak fluently in big situations!
Cui Xian secretly gave his grandmother a thumbs-up.
Only Mrs. Cui herself knew clearly that her palms were sweating and her calves were shaking slightly.
In order to prepare for today's speech, she started memorizing it half a month in advance!
Fortunately, the results are very good.
After the plaque presentation ceremony.
After the common people left, Cui's family set up twenty tables to entertain the imperial envoy, officials from the county government, and government offices.
At the gate of Pei Mansion not far from Cui Family.
On the steps.
Pei Jian, Zhuang Jin, Li Heyu and Gao Qi sat in a row and looked towards Cui's house with amazement and shock on their faces.
Zhuang Jin murmured, "What a beautiful sight."
Gao Qi nodded: "Yeah! But it's strange. In the past, when I saw my brother Xian being in the limelight, I was happy for him but also felt inferior. But today, I don't seem to have the uncomfortable feeling of inferiority."
Li Heyu said: "Because Brother Xian said that he would teach us the secret method! Brothers, don't be so self-deprecating in the future. Just follow Brother Xian, it will be right."
After saying that, the other three looked at Pei Jian.
Pei Jian was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Why are you looking at me? Don't worry. I am not inferior anymore, and I will not do stupid things when my mind is hot like before. Because I have figured out some things."
What's the matter?
Facing the doubtful eyes of his brothers, Pei Jian said seriously: "My grandfather lied to me and said that it was because I applied for the exam for my younger brother that my younger brother got into trouble. That night, I thought a lot by myself."
"Even though I later found out that my brother was fine, I still had some thoughts sorted out."
"First, I am indeed not as good as my younger brother. But there is no need to belittle myself and think that I am inferior to everyone else. Second, I don't want to be the big brother who holds my younger brother back. When my brother is in trouble and needs help, I can only stay at home and cry helplessly."
"I want to stand up. From now on, no matter if it's my brother or you guys, no matter who needs help, I will be your backup at the first time."
Hearing this, the brothers were stunned.
Then, everyone looked at each other and understood the determination in each other's eyes——
Let's stop imagining things and the most important thing is to learn from Brother Xian!
Brothers should support each other and move forward together!
What a coincidence.
The Cui family thought so too.
After the plaque-awarding ceremony, the Cui family completely became known as the "first famous family" and "Nanyang Cui Family" among the people of Nanyang.
Whenever Mrs. Cui heard this, she felt a little panicked.
Although she always likes to say "Nanyang Cui Family" herself, she feels weak when others say it!
She really wanted to lead the Cui family and become the 'Nanyang Cui Family'.
There are also Chen and Lin.
They instantly became the two most popular and youngest distinguished young ladies in Nanyang, and were highly sought after. Invitations to their banquets were even exaggeratedly scheduled for several months later.
But for ordinary activities like drinking tea and appreciating flowers, it’s fine.
There are also some ladies in the harem who try to be elegant and like to hold literary gatherings. How could Chen and Lin, who can't read, dare to go?
Even more outrageous is——
It is now widely rumored in the Nanyang ladies' circle that Lin and Chen are "skillful and thoughtful".
The reason is: the little prodigy secretly participated in the imperial examination at that time, and these two ladies refuted the rumor online without batting an eyelid, pretending it was true!
In response, Lin and Chen said: Who? The two of us?
In short, as Cui Xian ejected dramatically, his brothers and relatives all felt tremendous pressure.
Everyone can't wait to keep up with the pace and improve themselves!
So it was the third day after the plaque presentation ceremony.
Cui Xian was studying in his bedroom.
There was a sudden knock on his door.
Old Cui, Chen, Lin, Cui Yu, Cui Xuan, as well as Pei Jian, Zhuang Jin, Li Heyu, Gao Qi and a large group of people, all rushed in as if they had made an appointment.
The bedroom is almost full of them!
Cui Xian was startled: "What's going on?"
Everyone looked at each other in embarrassment, and then started talking at once.
"Xian'er, please teach me how to read!"
"Yes, brother Xian, auntie wants to learn too!"
"Xian'er, grandma wants to learn from you how to do business. Grandma wants to do big business and make money!"
"Brother Xian, teach the brothers the secret method!"
"Although we are stupid, we don't want to hold you back, and we also want to be your support and backup."
"Yes, we want to make progress so much!"
