Dashi village.
"No mistake, wheat is engaged?"
"Well, it's engagement, a young master in Kyoto."
Wheat actually ordered the master of Kyoto. This man doesn't think wheat is stupid!
There is a caravan going to Shasha County in this town. Naturally, the caravan will bring back the news.
"Is there something wrong with this young master?"
"This man is not simple!"
"Did you pass the exam at such a young age? That's amazing
"Jinshi, not Xiucai? It's not easy to be a scholar before I'm 18 years old! "
"It's really Jinshi. It's from Kyoto. It's different from our students here."
"Are you sure it's settled? It can't be a rumor
"This engagement banquet has been held. It should be true."
The villagers are talking and sighing. When they start chatting, they will also talk about Chen Mai. Many people think that although Lu Lin has the power and Chen Xiaocai has the money, Chen Mai is stupid and probably can't find anything good. Even if Chen Xiaomi finds a good one for Chen Mai, he is mostly in caoying and in Han.
This heard Chen wheat unexpectedly also married so well, many villagers did not know what to say.
"This little brother, who was determined by Chen Mai, won the entrance examination at a young age. Can't he be an official?"
"If you have won the entrance examination, you should be able to be an official. I heard that there are still people on top of others. I'm afraid it's easier to be an official than others."
"If Chen Mai becomes an official, then he will be his wife."
"No, no, I didn't expect Chen Mai to be so powerful."
Lu Lin and Chen Xiaocai are powerful, which has been recognized by the villagers. However, Chen Mai is a leisurely eater in the eyes of the villagers. Many villagers feel that they can't accept such a leisurely eater.
Tang stood aside, listening to the villagers chatting for a while, and left in silence.
Lu Chengyu also participated in Qiuwei, but still failed in the exam.
Xu is Lu Lin's going to be an official, which gives Lu Chengyu a great sense of urgency. After the last Qiuwei, Lu Chengyu has been studying. It's just that Qiuwei is a matter of great chance.
Those students in Kyoto can get access to the examination papers of all previous years and the splendid articles written by some great scholars. For rural students like Lu Chengyu, they have to spend a lot of money on such things, and it's not easy to get them. The two sides are not on the same starting line at all.
Lu Chengyu still failed in the exam this time, but she was still bent on her future.
However, Tang hoped that Lu Chengyu would open a school and become a teacher.
It is Tang's hope that Lu Chengyu can be admitted as a Jinshi and a senior official. However, there is a great possibility that she will not be admitted.
Lu Chengyu's spending is too much. Most of the money that the family has saved has gone to buy a book.
Tang has not seen meat for a long time, and he is a little greedy for meat. When he heard that there was an old boy in the next village who didn't even pass the entrance examination for a scholar, he made a lot of money teaching some children to read in the village. On weekdays, he also gave a lot of meat to the mermaid in the village, so he was moved. An old boy can make money like this. His son is a scholar, so he must not It will be worse than that man.
Although Tang's heart, but dare not and Lu Chengyu, worry about Lu Chengyu to stimulate.
Tang's first reaction to Chen's finding a Jinshi is that he doesn't believe it. In recent years, the villagers have been promising Lu Lin, and Tang thinks Lu Lin has the ability in his own heart. However, he deludes himself that Lu Lin doesn't have any problems. He's just an eccentric scholar. His son is a serious scholar.
Suddenly heard that Chen wheat this fool to find a Jinshi, Tang felt that the whole body is not strong, the other is not believe.
Lu Lin bought the official position. Tang always thinks that Lu Chengyu is the best scholar in the village. As a result, Chen Mai, a fool, can find a Jinshi. His son has worked hard for so many years, but he hasn't been admitted to the Jinshi. Although Tang doesn't want to believe it, it's not good to see several people in the village have a strong point.
When Tang came home, he saw Li fangyue feeding the chicken, and two girls were circling around Li fangyue.
When Tang saw Li fangyue, he was angry. "Where's Cheng Yu?"
"I'm reading a book."
After the fall of the Li family, Li fangyue's position in the Lu family declined. At that time, Lu Chengyu spent tens of taels of silver on Li fangyue. Now it has become a joke. The relationship between Li fangyue and Lu chengyu in recent years has become more and more rigid. The husband and wife hate each other. Tang went into the library and saw Lu Chengyu.
Lu Chengyu's hair was a little messy, her eyes were deep, and she looked haggard.
Tang is a little worried. For the sake of Qiuwei, Lu Chengyu has been forgetting to eat and sleep. His son focuses on his studies. Tang is naturally happy. However, Tang always feels that his son is a little possessed. Before he saw Lu Chengyu, staring at his books, he didn't turn the pages. He looked at it for a day."Mother, you are back."
Tang nodded, some worried way: "yes! Cheng Yu, don't work too hard. "
Lu Chengyu hit the table, "it's unfair."
He worked so hard, but he still failed. Lu Lin, that guy became an official just because he had a few stinky money. Moreover, his position became bigger and bigger.
Without Lu Lin as a contrast, Lu Chengyu, a scholar, would be a figure in the village. However, Lu Lin's comparison with Lu Chengyu would be a joke.
Lu Chengyu was very confident in participating in Qiuwei this time. As a result, she was still famous. Lu Chengyu didn't feel that it was her own problem at all. She felt that the officials were protecting each other and there was no chance for such poor people as him to come out.
Seeing Lu Chengyu like this, Tang was a little worried.
Lu Chengyu took a look at the Tang family and said, "they said, Chen wheat has found a Jinshi?"
Tang's embarrassed smile, said: "yes! But it's mostly a joke. "
Lu Chengyu gritted her teeth and said, "it's not necessarily a joke. I heard that there was a Jinshi named Ji Yunan in Kyoto this year. This guy is only 16 years old, and he is the youngest one in this year's mid-term examination. After he won the mid-term examination, he didn't think his place was good, so he gave up his place to prepare for the examination three years later."
Tang's eyes widened in surprise. He didn't understand that there was such a person. He was admitted to the exam, but he gave up his place. This person is too hateful.
"This man is so powerful that he can't take a fancy to Chen Mai." Tang murmured.
Lu Chengyu said in secret: Ji Yunan's uncle is a member of the border patrol camp, and Chen Mai is in Shaxian County. It's possible for him to come and go to contact with him. The caravans who came back from Shaxian County all said that they swore to each other. I don't think it's true.
Lu Chengyu clenched her teeth and felt that all the viscera were twisted into a ball. Even Lu Lin, Chen Mai is an idiot. Why!
Looking at Lu Chengyu's face, Tang murmured: "it's just engagement, not marriage. Even if it's marriage, it's possible to be divorced. I think this childe is playing Chen Mai. How can he marry a fool with such good conditions?"
Lu Cheng Yu narrowed her eyes and said, "maybe there is some hidden disease."
Chen family.
Old Mrs. Chen said dully, "is it all said in this village that Chen wheat is going to marry a childe in Kyoto?"
Zhang Yuehong nodded and said, "yes! It is said that it was brought back by the caravan going to Shaxian County. "
Mrs. Chen snorted and said, "it's mostly nonsense. At that time, when Lu Chengyu married Li fangyue, Mrs. Lu was still boasting that she married an official lady. As a result, she married a bereaved star. She didn't look good. It's useless. It has something to do with the master's book. She's in prison."
Zhang Yuehong nodded and said, "it's not true. If it's really a good young master, it's probably a parallel product to marry Chen Mai who is so stupid."
Although she said so, Zhang Yuehong was also muttering in her heart.
Lu Chengyu married Li fangyue at that time. It was Mrs. Lu himself who married an official wife. However, Chen Maimai is different this time. It is said that the man who won the entrance examination at a young age is really talented and the life of a senior official.
Mrs. Chen said angrily, "Chen Xiaocai is not a good thing. Chen Mai is also a jerk."
When Chen Xiaocai came back last time, Mrs. Chen came to visit her. However, she didn't want to pay attention to her. She didn't even see her face. The family members of Chen were afraid that she would offend her to death, and they couldn't get any good from her. They were so surprised that they pulled away the old lady who was acting rashly at that time.
Zhang Yuehong feels that their Chen family seems to be isolated by the clan, which is really puzzling. "Yes! One or two are vicious. "
Butcher Zhang cuts the pork and hands it to the buyer.
Two years ago, when Zhang Rui came back, he brought a sum of money to butcher Zhang. Butcher Zhang also had some savings, so he opened a pork shop in the town to sell meat.
Many people in this town know about butcher Zhang's son. Now he is following Lu Lin and has met the Lord.
In the light of his son, butcher Zhang's pork business is the best in the town.
"Butcher Zhang, when will your son come back?"
Butcher Zhang said helplessly: "he's busy in Shaxian County. Where can he come back? But if he's busy, he can earn more money."
Yes! Money matters.
"Butcher Zhang, I heard that your son has met the Lord."
Butcher Zhang said with some pride: "I've seen the Lord live in the county yamen for a few days. My son has sent food to the Lord. The county magistrate thinks highly of my son."
Butcher Zhang thought to himself: the son said that the LORD had lived in the county government for quite a long time. However, at that time, his stupid son didn't know that he was the Lord. He had only seen two sides. He was afraid that he would be stupid and offend the dignitaries. When he knew that there were dignitaries in the county government, he fled. When he knew the truth, it was too late.Although Zhang Rui did not have that chance, it did not prevent butcher Zhang from boasting. Butcher Zhang is not afraid of being exposed. Lin town is far away from Shaxian County. The Lord is a private visit, and few people dare to inquire deeply about his affairs.
"Butcher Zhang, your son is so good." In fact, the man who bought the meat was an acquaintance of butcher Zhang Rui. Before that, this man made a mockery of the butcher Zhang Rui. He was afraid of blood, but he didn't dare.
Butcher Zhang was a little proud and said in secret: the name of the Lord is really easy to use!
"It's not that my son is good, but that he's with the right person!"
"Butcher Zhang, I heard that wheat has found a Jinshi. Is that true?"
Butcher Zhang nodded and said, "there's something wrong. I'm engaged. I'm the nephew of a general over there. I've known Chen sanshao for several years."
"What did that man like about Chen sanshao?"
Butcher Zhang stamped the pork and said, "there are so many of them. Chen sanshao's craftsmanship is unique! It is said that Wang Ye likes it very much, but there are still some. Chen Er Shao does not make a lot of money. It is estimated that Chen San Shao's dowry is also very rich. "
"It's amazing that Chen San has found such a powerful man."
Butcher Zhang nodded and said, "yes, that's a great talent."
Butcher Zhang thought to himself: Chen Xiaocai is a capable man!
It is said that he managed the business of several streets when he earned money every day. His daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family is really eye-catching, but Er Fang's success was forced out of the house early. Now the three brothers of the Chen family are better than each other, but the Chen family can't touch the light at all. The old lady's intestines are blue.
