Chapter 102 Fate Upgrade
Chapter 102 Fate Upgrade
"Congratulations on your promotion!"
When Mr. Qiu, who had been pouting, learned that Fu Shaoping was promoted to a small flag officer, the arrogance on his face was immediately thrown away and he bowed deeply to the ground.
God is pitiful.
Finally he met a noble person.
If he could get hold of Fu Shaoping's thigh and ask him to make some connections in the county government, it should be possible for him, as a scholar, to get a job as a ninth-rank official.
Fu Shaoping nodded slightly to Qiu Xiucai:
"Mr. Qiu, please also come to the banquet on that day."
"Yes, yes, I will definitely come, definitely come. As for the school, please rest assured, sir. I can guarantee that within three years, I will definitely teach a student, and within eight years, a scholar."
This is a military order to show loyalty.
The old patriarch standing by straightened his back instantly. He had just been carefully flattering the other party in the hope that he would teach the child carefully, but this Scholar Qiu looked down on their small place in his words and deeds. In the blink of an eye, his attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn.
This is why it is easier to get things done when there is someone in the family who is an official.
Fu Shaoping discussed the banquet with the old patriarch for a while. Finally, Fu Shaoping said:
"Clan leader, when the time comes, choose a good time and open the clan temple to worship our ancestors."
"Of course, of course. We have to burn incense and inform our ancestors of this great event. Don't worry, I will take care of the wedding banquet. You just need to come when the time comes."
Fu Shaoping returned to Fu's Villa.
Only then did Jiang learn that Fu Shaoping had been promoted to a small flag.
Crying with joy:
"You have achieved such great things. When I die and see your father in the underworld, I will have something to say. Woo woo woo."
"Mom, this is a good thing. Don't cry. Crying too much is bad for your health."
"Yes, yes, this is a very happy event. Don't cry, mother. Don't cry, mother."
Jiang held Fu Shaoping's hand.
Some people hesitate to speak.
Fu Shaoping said:
"Mom, we are mother and son, just say whatever you want to say."
"Shaoping, can you help me find someone from your maternal family?"
"There was a famine and bandits were causing chaos. Your grandfather and I had no choice but to leave our home. On the way, your uncle fell seriously ill and died. But at the time, we didn't even have food to eat, so how could we have extra money to see a doctor or buy medicine? As the eldest sister, I couldn't bear to watch your uncle die like that, so I decided to sell myself to a traveling merchant."
"That man has no children."
"She is kind-hearted and takes care of me like her own daughter."
"But my body has been badly damaged while fleeing the famine, and I have to drink medicine all the time."
"I happened to meet your father, so I asked my foster father to marry me to your father."
"After I married your father, I asked him to help me look for your maternal grandfather's family, but there was no news."
“This matter has always weighed on my mind.”
"Let's do the math. Your grandfather and his family are already over 50 years old. I don't know if you and I can meet again during their lifetime."
Jiang burst into tears.
Fu Shaoping said hurriedly:
"Mom, don't worry. Leave the search for my grandparents to me. However, the Great Wu Dynasty is vast. You came from Yangzhou back then. There are several prefectures and counties between us. It will take more than a few days to find them."
"Mother knows, mother knows. Just keep the matter of finding your relatives in mind and don't let it delay your mission."
After being promoted to small flag.
You can then issue personal tasks in the Mission Hall.
With the help of the Intelligence Bureau and the Hundred Households Office, it will take some time and we should be able to find any members of my grandfather's family if they are still there.
In the blink of an eye.
Then the day of the wedding banquet arrived.
Fu Shaoping specially took a bath and burned incense. He originally wanted to take Zhou Paner back to Fujia Village to worship his ancestors. However, seeing that Zhou Paner was lazy and looked like she was about to fall asleep after calling him several times, he just took Jiang back to Fujia Village.
Fujia Village at this time.
But there are big red lanterns hanging high.
Red silk was hung under the eaves of every household.
A long red carpet was laid from the entrance of the village all the way to the gate of the ancestral hall.
As soon as Fu Shaoping appeared.
The drummers, the suona players, and the gong players started playing music immediately.
On both sides of the village road, the Fu clan members, all wearing new clothes, responded in unison at the signal of the old clan leader:
"Welcome young clan leader, Lord Xiaoqi, back to the village!" Especially the young people.
Everyone looked at Fu Shaoping with burning eyes.
Young hero!
This is their role model.
Opened a clan temple.
The old patriarch read the eulogy.
Hand three incense sticks to Fu Shaoping:
"Shao Ping, burn some incense for our ancestors."
Fu Shaoping took the incense stick respectfully with both hands.
His ancestors blessed him three times.
The first two times he made great contributions, and the third time helped him escape a disaster.
Therefore.
He expressed his gratitude to his ancestors from the bottom of his heart.
After burning incense.
Fu Shaoping looked at the ancestral hall that had not been renovated for decades, and turned to the old patriarch and said:
"Chief, it's time to renovate our ancestral hall. Please choose an auspicious day to start the construction. I will find a group of skilled carpenters to come and build our ancestral hall into a three-story hall. All the expenses will be paid by my public account, and the rest of the clan members can just contribute their own money."
"In addition, I want to enclose a piece of land and use it as a cemetery for our Fu family. As for where it is, you can take a Feng Shui master to look at it. Just tell me where you like."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
The old patriarch nodded repeatedly with excitement.
Renovating the ancestral hall has always been his wish, but he was afraid that Fu Shaoping would be too busy, so he didn't dare to mention it. Now Fu Shaoping has taken the initiative to propose it, and he wants to build a three-hall hall. This excitement is even greater than hearing that Fu Shaoping was promoted to a small flag.
At his age.
What matters most is whether the next generation has a filial heart and whether there will be offerings to the ancestors a hundred years later. Now it seems that Fu Shaoping is a filial son.
The old patriarch was so moved that his eyes turned red:
"Shaoping, our ancestors would rest in peace in their graves if they heard what you said."
The voice just fell.
Fu Shaoping was shocked.
He seemed to see different energies on the ancestral tablets. These energies gathered towards him with a humming sound and were absorbed by the Xuanming Treasure Mirror through the unknown void.
The Xuanming Treasure Mirror made a humming sound.
A slight tremor.
A hazy yellow light appeared.
The second destiny in the Xuanming Baojian actually began to flicker.
"This is."
Fu Shaoping was caught off guard.
What he said today, whether it was about renovating the ancestral hall or enclosing land to build a family tomb, came from his heart. He never thought that such a strange phenomenon would happen to the ancestral tablets, nor did he think that the treasure mirror would react.
This time.
What a pleasant surprise.
It is truly the manifestation of our ancestors.
Perhaps it was because he had brought honor to his family after being promoted to a small flag officer, or perhaps his two proposals combined had finally moved his ancestors.
but.
It’s always good to give back!
Fu Shaoping looked at the treasure mirror with some excitement.
I don’t know how the second fate will change.
The yellow light faded away.
The treasure mirror stopped shaking.
But see.
The approval document in the second fate has obviously changed.
