      有天,人外有人,我一介平庸,实担不起。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “不是的,相公。在妍娘心中,你就是最好的,再没有人能胜过你。”黄氏仰慕之情浓浓。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  若是以前,吉彦也许会沉迷其中。但现在不能了。近日他上山下河,反思着过往,自省己身,是愈发清醒。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  二哥骂得对,别人读书都把心胸读宽阔了。而他却反了,变得狭隘,还自以为是。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “你安心吧,明日我就会启程去阳安府。”吉彦移步入书房,抬手抽了《女论语》,回身递向黄氏:“你好好读一读。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  黄氏脚下一软后退半步,瞠目看吉彦。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  回了东耳房的吉安,坐在桌前翻开《弟子规》,心还在西屋。说黄氏对吉彦盲目信任,恕她眼拙,她看不出。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  黄氏对吉彦是有恋慕,但信任……单从联合女儿,撺掇吉彦私买铺子这一点,便可窥其对吉彦信任不足。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  可她怎就那么急切地想吉彦去阳安府,似生怕他错失什么?
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  半仙吗?能掐会算。吉安轻嗤一笑,招正给她分线的辛语过来:“《百家姓》你已经学完了,从今天开始,我教你读《弟子规》。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “好。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  次日一早,吉彦告别了父母,独自离家。他走后,吉忠明拿着书坐在炕上,半天不翻一页。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  吉孟氏叹气,老三之前想她陪着去他大舅家。她说等放榜后,其实心中也是存着一念。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  九月农忙,近日村里人忙死了,到饭点得片刻闲还都喜往村头跑,堵在路口唠几句家常。这回吉孟氏也不省了,拿了银钱交给吉诚,短工全包,坐在家里等粮进仓。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  九月十五这天,一头灰的吉诚,正领着两个短工拉着一车晒干的粮往家里,还未出田间道,就闻隐隐铜锣声。精神一抖,丢下牛车跑去前头路口,一看他爹已经站门前,婆娘和二弟妹正拿着扫帚清扫门前路。赶紧跟短工招呼一声,往回跑。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  老三真中了!
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp27.nbsp第 27 章nbsp 中举
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  敲锣打鼓,喜报上门。两官差骑马到路口,没了以往的声势:“请问这是东溪镇枣余村吉彦吉老爷家里吗?”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  吉忠明拱手向前,难掩激动:“是。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “恭喜您老了。”官差笑嘻嘻下马:“知县大人特令我二人上门送喜,吉彦吉老爷此回乡试在咱陕东四十七名,恭喜恭喜。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  闻言,由吉欣然搀扶着站在后的黄氏,欣喜地掩嘴低泣,但腰背却愈加直挺。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  虽说早有此想头,可当成真时,吉忠明还是泪目了,他吉家出了位举人。秀才、举人天壤之别啊!
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “有劳二位跑这一趟了,还请屋里坐,喝杯茶水歇歇脚。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “不了,我们还要回县衙当差。另知县大人特地嘱咐,府上办宴给他留一席。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  吉诚将话听在心里,掏钱袋摸银角子:“既然二位还有公务在身,我等也不好久留,这点心意就当是请二位喝茶的。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “这这怎么好意思?”嘴上如是说,但两人面上的笑却真实多了,推拒一二顺势接了。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  送走了官差,吉家热闹起来了。闻讯赶来的村民,聚到门口哄闹。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “从今儿起,咱们就该改口了,叫吉老太爷了。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  吉忠明心情还未平复,红光满面,朝乡亲拱手:“诸位说笑了。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “吉老太爷,你家这么大的喜事,得摆流水席。咱们村里都来沾沾喜。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “对,咱们就等着吃吉三的喜酒了。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “还吉三呢,该叫吉三老爷哈哈……”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  先是同村,再是一些相熟的人家上门,吉家晚上灯都亮到亥正。待次日傍晚吉彦到家时,村里炮仗震天响,十来娃娃叫嚷:“吉举人回家来喽吉三老爷大喜……”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  一布袋糖块混了铜钱,吉俞领着几个小子在门口撒,欢喜得跟过大年一般。辛语拉着头戴猫儿小帷帽一心想往外冲的欣欣,不让她出院门。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  吉彦红着眼进家门,直奔正屋,扑通一声跪到两老跟前。
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “爹娘,儿子中举了。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “好好。”吉忠明不住地点头,眼里老泪晶莹。听着屋外还在炸响的炮仗以及恭贺声,感怀着过往:“寒窗苦读终有成,老三,你还需继续进取。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  “是,”吉彦磕下头去,他心里还想着一事:“娘,您领我去大舅家吧,我去给大舅、舅娘磕头。”
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp
    nbspnbspnbspnbsp  站在门口处,捏帕摁
