Chapter 641 Generous
Old lady Wang went out with Mrs. Liu yesterday, and didn't come back until midnight. Both of them were a little tired, so they didn't have breakfast.
Several boys in the family are waiting eagerly, wanting Mrs. Wang to tell them what they have done. You must know that my grandma usually does not shoot, but when she does, she must make a big move.
As a result, they heard the news announced by Ayu. They are all people who have read the books of sages, especially after taking the imperial examination, they already know many systems about Dachang like the back of their hands.
They also know that the Astrology Department is such an unpopular place. If officials also have a chain of contempt, the Astrology Department must be at the bottom.
Different from the Xifeng Kingdom next door, Dachang does not advocate these ways of gods and ghosts, because the ancestor emperors fought the world on horseback, and only believed that man would conquer the sky, and did not believe in God’s will to trick people.
In addition, in the eyes of outsiders, the talking astrologer is naturally not welcome.
Only Qin Tianjian can look at the old Huangli, and his status is a little bit better.
Wang Erlang put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his whole body had obvious calm demeanor. He was not as excited as Wang Wulang, but asked softly, "Why does Ah Yu suddenly want to go to that place?"
"That's right, it's not that our family can't afford you, why do we want you to go out to work?" Wang Wulang reached out and compared Ayu's head, "Look at how tall you are, if you feel bored and not fun, hurry to tomorrow Brother Wu will take you out for a stroll."
In the eyes of the Wang family, Ayu is the smartest child in their family.
If Ayu wants to go to the Department of Astrology, unlike them, it will take several years to officially enter the official career.
If Ayu goes, maybe if he wants to go today, he can go in tomorrow. Isn’t that too young?
"No, I just heard that that place is very interesting, not only for men and women!" Ayu swallowed a mouthful of steamed buns, squinted his eyes, and said aftertaste, "Besides, it is close to the Imperial College and Imperial Academy. In the future, if you study in the Imperial College or work in the Imperial Academy, you can be very close to me!"
Wang Sanlang showed a tacit smile: "Ayu, I'm afraid you don't want to be closer to your brothers, but you want to be closer to Qin Huai?"
Ayu laughed twice: "No, brother Ayou and brothers are equally important."
"Then let me ask you, if the brothers fall into the water with Qin Huai, who will you save?" Wang Silang asked suddenly.
"I won't save anyone." Seeing the eyes of the whole family looking at him, Ayu said naturally, "You all know how to swim, and you won't let me save you."
She just wanted to save, but no one gave her a chance.
Wang Family: "..." convinced.
"Ayu, if you answer the questions like this in the scientific examination, you may fail the exam. To solve the questions, you must start from the problem, and you can't find another way." Wang Erlang shook his head funny.
"So, I don't go to the imperial examination, I only go to the Department of Astrology!"
At this time, the old Wangtou finally finished the rice in the bowl, and glanced vaguely at the direction where Mrs. Wang would come. He didn't hear the familiar footsteps of the old wife, let alone saw her figure.
Seeing his sons and daughters-in-law looking at him asking for advice, Old Wang sighed inwardly.
Yes, only he came.
"Ah Yu, have you ever wondered what kind of place is the Department of Astrology? There is no way to get in or out. Even if your brothers and Qin Huai go to the Imperial Academy or the Imperial Academy, it will take at least three years or at least ten years. It’s time to leave, but you won’t be able to leave by then.”
The old Wangtou said: "You might as well tell us why you went to that place, let alone to be closer to them. Your grandma is thinking about buying two more yards in the imperial city, one for her family to live in. One set will be reserved for you as a dowry in the future, the two places are close, and they can come back earlier when they are studying or on duty, it is no farther away than if you are next door with you."
"Mother wants to buy a yard again? Even if we live in a house for one person, that's enough!" Wang Chuangui felt breathless when he heard that his mother wanted to buy a yard again. Why buy so many yards?
Now he can’t tell how many houses and property they have. Except for the house they live in, which is said to have come from Lao Jiang’s house, the others were all bought with real money.
"One set for each person? You don't look very good, so you have a good idea." Old Wang snorted, "You should pay the debts owed to the family first."
Wang Chuangui yelled at his injustice: "Father, my son has long felt that something is wrong. Why is it that all the men in the family are studying now, but they want to put debts on my son?!"
It's really not the first time he suspects that he is not his own. Even if he is not his own, he doesn't treat him so differently, right?
"Second brother, what you said is not right. Whether it is a child studying or practicing martial arts in our family, they are all accounted for." Wang Chuanman took out a booklet from nowhere, turned to one of the pages, and pointed to the booklet. Said, "Look, in the spring of this year, everyone in the family was rushing to take the exam. Not to mention the daily expenses along the way, the pens, inks, papers and inkstones I bought for everyone, as well as the swords of Sanlang and others, were all registered. .”
Wang Chuangui felt even more outrageous when he heard it.
How can there be such a bookkeeping!
It made them seem not to be a family, but a family of business partners.
"Second uncle, we asked for it on our own initiative, and it didn't cost much, it just gave us a sense of urgency." Wang Wulang said proactively, "We just thought that the mother, aunt, and sisters-in-law are all at home, except Other than Aunt Three and Aunt Four, everyone doesn’t earn much, but we men are still spending a lot of money, so we want to share some of it.”
Wang Chuangui received his wife Ma Shi's aggrieved gaze, and was speechless immediately: "..." It's because I'm too small.
But what did Goro say, not much money? !
Then why does he feel that he owes more than five hundred taels of silver, and this life is not over!
Before Mrs. Ma explained to Wang Chuangui, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Liu also came over there, but they were getting old after all, and their faces were obviously tired.
"What are you arguing about?" Mrs. Wang rubbed her forehead and looked at the crowd, "If you have anything to say, you might as well talk to my old lady."
Wang Chuangui didn't dare to say that he questioned the debt, he was just talking about it, and he really didn't have that big opinion on Niang's move.
The debt was written, but he was never urged to pay it back. As Goro said, it was just a sense of urgency.
Ayu expressed his thoughts, and everyone was waiting for Mrs. Wang's reaction.
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Liu: "Old fourth daughter-in-law, what do you say?"
Thinking of yesterday's incident, Mrs. Liu's original persuasion turned into: "Ayu, if you want to go, go, Aniang supports you."
Wang Chuanman stood up, grabbed Liu Shi, and said in a low voice, "Why did you agree to her going?"
Send the child to the duty at such a young age, isn't that tossing the child!
Everyone was about to speak, when they heard a loud voice coming from the front, and after a while, a group of people walked to the gate of Wang's courtyard surrounded by crowds.
Eunuch Xi’s voice came: “The imperial decree has arrived!”
