Chapter 43: Changing Military Registration (Please collect and read)
Want to pass the martial arts examination in Jinke Dao?
A second-class martial arts scholar?
After these simple words fell into the ears of the owner of Li House, Li Yaozu and his wife, as well as Li Xingye, subconsciously held their breath...
Wu Xiucai is different from Wen Xiucai in that he can serve in local areas and become local military attachés.
Even if it is just a small official.
But that’s also an official!
The status of this household is very different from that of the Li family.
Li Yaozu and his wife did not expect that when Li Xingye insulted and forced Wei Tu so much, Wei Tu still remained calm and did not tell him about his success in the martial arts examination.
“How could he pass the exam?” Li Xingye was angry and resentful.
The resentment he had just vented was now accumulated in his chest again, and it became more and more intense.
Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years.
In the end,
It is not as good as Wei Tu, a domestic slave who has been practicing martial arts for several years.
How could he let go of this matter so easily?
“After achieving success, one is neither arrogant nor impetuous, and when faced with insults, one’s face remains calm…”
"This person…"
Li Yaozu shook his head.
He made up his mind to severely discipline Li Xingye in the future, and he must not continue to offend Wei Tu, otherwise the "favor" would be exhausted sooner or later.
At that time, it is difficult to predict what will happen to the Li family.
…
After walking out of the Li family's inner house.
Wei Tu waited for Xinghua and Caixia outside the house for a while. After the two girls packed their luggage, he took the two girls out of Li's house.
"This time, thank you Brother Wei for helping me stand up, otherwise..." On the way, Caixia found an opportunity and thanked Wei Tu.
Going against the former “benefactor”.
This is also a lot of pressure for Wei Tu.
Caixia understands this.
“Help each other, you helped me once too.” Wei Tu smiled and replied.
Reputation is something he needs to consider, but if he sees Caixia being bullied and just sits back and does nothing, he will not be able to get over it.
Secondly.
He has already contradicted Magistrate He.
Li Yaozu is not worthy of his fear.
Hearing this, Caixia put aside her worries, hugged the package, and silently followed Wei Tu and his wife.
The three of them came to a nearby inn.
Two lower rooms were opened.
In the evening, Xinghua asked Caixia about her future plans, "You, like Brother Wei, were unable to make a living at home and were forced to be sold to Li's house. Now that you are free, you can still return home."
In times of famine, one sells one's sons and daughters in order to keep one's children alive, which is different from in times of peace, one sells one's sons and daughters for money.
For example, Xinghua herself was sold to the Li family because her family wanted money.
Therefore, after Xinghua entered the Li family, she gradually cut off all contact with her natal family.
"However, today is different from the past. You have a son and a poor family. When you return home, not only can you not keep the three taels of silver..., but you may also be sold again..."
Xinghua analyzed.
These maids who were sold into wealthy families were no more realistic than the ladies from wealthy families who were raised in boudoirs. They were often very realistic in terms of money.
If Wei Tu had not proven himself back then, Xinghua would not have given her private money to Wei Tu and let him waste it in vain.
"Sister Xinghua, I plan to follow you first... Brother Wei should be able to meet a few good men after he takes office as an official. I want to get married and start a family by then..."
Caixia thought about it for a while, and then expressed her plan based on her situation.
"You are kind to me, and I am willing to stay by my side. It just so happens that you can be my company." Xinghua nodded and agreed.
Unmarried women cannot form a household alone.
After the maid who redeemed her deed became a citizen, she had no other choice but to return to her place of origin.
At this moment, Caixia wanted to follow the couple and place her nationality under the Wei Tu household.
…
The next day.
Wei Tu brought Xinghua and Caixia to the county government office and handed over the two girls' deeds and certification letters to the household officials.
"It's strange." When the official in the household saw this, he was amazed. He took out the "Registration Book", added the names of the two girls, and wrote it under the word "Wei Tu".
He has been an official in the county government office for so long. Wei Tu was the first slave to be redeemed. The two maids redeemed today are still related to him... This is a rare thing for him.
"I wonder if the document issued by the government to the Jinkewu scholar has reached the county government?" After the two girls changed their registrations, Wei Tu did not leave in a hurry. He raised his hand to the official and asked.
"Wu Xiucai's document?" Hearing this, Zaoli was surprised for a moment. He glanced at Wei Tu and said, "Did you pass the examination today?"
He knew that Wei Tu won the title of Military Chief in the county martial arts test.
But he is also one of the few people in the county government who knows that Wei Tu, the military leader, has some connections.
Therefore, he is not optimistic about Wei Tu's success in the Jinke Dao Examination.
The road test is more difficult than the county test.
"bingo."
Weitu nodded in response.
"Brother Wei, then you and I will be colleagues from now on..." Upon hearing this, Zaoli immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet Wei Tu.
The attitude is completely opposite to that just now.
No longer cold.
At the same time, he also introduced himself to Wei Tu.
“My name is Jian Liang, and my family has been a subordinate for generations, working in the household.”
“Brother Jian.” Wei Tu bowed his hands to Jian Liang as a courtesy.
He did not introduce himself to Jian Liang.
Jian Liang worked as an official in Hufang, Qingshan County, and knew his identity and family wealth better than he did.
"Wu Xiucai's ultimatum was issued by the government office two days ago."
“I will change your nationality to military status...” Jian Liang said proactively.
He knew what Wei Tu meant when he mentioned "Wu Xiucai's document". This document was a certificate for Wu Xiucai to prove his identity.
Generally, they are kept by the county government.
“Thank you so much, Brother Jian.”
After Jian Liang finished changing his registration, Wei Tu thanked him and walked out of the door with Xinghua and Caixia.
but.
He just took a few steps.
He saw Wei Fei walking towards him from Jieshifang.
Wei Tu guessed that Wei Fei also came to the household to find Jian Liang to change his registration.
After these martial arts scholars have changed their registration, they can wait with peace of mind for the county government to appoint them to military positions.
Hence, it is better to do this sooner rather than later.
“Second brother.”
“Third brother.”
The two of them greeted each other.
“This is my wife, and one of my sisters.” Wei Tu introduced Xinghua and Caixia to Wei Fei.
“Brother and sister, sister Caixia.” Wei Fei greeted him slightly cautiously. When he saw Xinghua and Caixia, he mistakenly thought that they were Wei Tu’s maids.
Unexpectedly, one of them was Wei Tu's wife.
But after being surprised, Wei Fei secretly admired Wei Tu. After becoming famous, he still didn't forget his wife. His third brother is rare in the world.
“I came in a hurry and didn’t bring anything good with me. I’ll make up for the meeting gifts for my younger siblings and Caixia the next day.”
Wei Fei said with a smile.
After saying this, Wei Tu and Wei Fei said goodbye. Wei Tu took his two daughters and left the county government office to go to Yaxing to find a new home.
Under the leadership of Ya Ren, Wei Tu quickly selected a small courtyard and spent more than five taels of silver to buy it.
“I’ll borrow your money, and after a while, when the military attache’s salary is paid, I’ll pay you back...”
Weitu assured Caixia.
Because he was short of money and didn't have much money left on him, more than half of the five taels of silver came from Caixia.
Caixia lowered her head and said "hmm" without refusing. After all, the money was almost her entire net worth.
“I just don’t know when the appointment of this county government will come. I hope I won’t be suppressed or targeted by Magistrate He…”
Wei Tu was secretly anxious.
…
Time passes slowly.
Wei Tu did not wait for the appointment certificate from the county government, but instead received a letter from Fu Zhizhou.
In the letter, Fu Zhizhou mentioned that when he just left Qingfeng Mansion, the elders of Wuyun Tower came to him and wanted to invite him to join Wuyun Tower, but he flatly refused.
At the end of the letter - Fu Zhizhou warned Wei Tu to resist the temptation and not to join Wuyun Tower just because of the benefits promised.
