Chapter 13: Causal Implication

Although Fan Hongdao hated that others stole his limelight, this time he thought too much and there were no other accidents. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYang Chaofeng was still standing on the platform outside the house, and he didn't seem to have entered the house to appease that Miss Zhang.

Anyone with a little vision can see that this shows that Yang Yuanwai has made up his mind, and the final result of today's interview has been determined.

Yang Chaofeng really doesn't understand literary things, he is just literate, and he can't appreciate the quality of poetry, but Yang Chaofeng at least knows that Fan Hongdao's poems are three or four times longer than others.

In Yang Chaofeng's cognition, in the same time, of course, the longer he writes, the more talented he is. At the same time, Yang Chaofeng can also observe words and colors, and it can be seen from the faces of others in the courtyard that Fan Hongdao is obviously a step above others.

In this way, it will not be difficult for Yang Chaofeng to make the final decision on the candidate, and there is no need to consult Miss Zhang. What's more, Fan Hongdao was also introduced by his shopkeeper, and he has a more or less personal relationship.

"When it was nearly noon, I prepared a little thin wine and invited Mr. Fan to come in to talk. Yang Chaofeng bowed his hand to Fan Hongdao and opened his mouth to invite. The master's family has expressed their position like this, and others have no choice but to disperse.

The other three shopkeepers were particularly disappointed, they didn't expect this opportunity, and in the end, the most inconspicuous shopkeeper Wang seized it, and they didn't know where the scholar surnamed Fan came from.

In addition to Fan Hongdao staying, there was also the shopkeeper Wang who stayed as the main escort. Shopkeeper Wang was still very happy to be able to serve with the owner, and for him, there were not many opportunities to drink with the owner in private.

For subordinates, the more they can participate in the boss's private occasions, the more intimacy can be increased. Yang Chaofeng's family invited Mr. Xixi to be a private matter, and the fact that the shopkeeper Wang could be the main companion was of course a manifestation of the increase in intimacy.

A table was set up in the flower hall, and after three rounds of drinking, Yang Chaofeng asked Fan Hongdao: "In my opinion, a talent like Mr. Fan doesn't seem to be something that Wang Chuancai can befriend, how can he be introduced here by Wang Chuancai?"

Who is Wang Chuancai? Fan Hongdao didn't know why, and the shopkeeper Wang next to him hurriedly explained in a low voice: "It's me." ”

Fan Hongdao only knew the name of the shopkeeper Wang until now, and replied without thinking: "Does the owner think that a talent like me will be used by the shopkeeper Wang, but because of the word benevolence, it is only because of the word benevolence and righteousness, so I applied here to repay my kindness." ”

Before they knew it, their names had changed. Yang Chaofeng no longer called Fan Hongdao a friend of Fan, but changed to Mr. Fan, and Fan Hongdao called Yang Chaofeng no longer Yang Yuanwai, but directly changed to the owner.

Fan Hongdao's answer continued to show two meanings, one is to once again strengthen the image of knowing gratitude and not valuing money; the other is to imply that he is only to repay the favor to the king's shopkeeper, and there are not too many other interests involved, please rest assured, don't worry about becoming the king's shopkeeper and inserting it in the Yang family's inner line.

Yang Chaofeng was very satisfied with Fan Hongdao's answer, and only finished greeting at this point, and then gradually got to the point.

The first topic is, of course, the reward, that is, the restraint, which was roughly stated before the interview, and now it is more detailed. One or two and a half dollars of silver every month, and there is a holiday salute for the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year, all in all, it is not much.

For Fan Hongdao, the Yang family is likely to be just a place to settle down, so they will not care about the remuneration. After that, Yang Chaofeng began to explain the content of the work, and Fan Hongdao listened carefully, which was nothing more than three major items.

The first is the textual aspect, such as helping with correspondence, writing poems and eulogies for the occasion, and even writing New Year's couplets. The second is to help the host socialize and receive guests. The third item is to teach the young children of the Yang family and other key domestic slaves to enlighten literacy when they have free time.

Fan Hongdao said arrogantly: "Don't worry! Not to mention enlightenment and literacy, even if you teach Ling Lang the knowledge of the Four Books and Five Classics and the Eight Strands of Shiwen, it is also possible!"

Yang Chaofeng couldn't help but think of Fan Hongdao's interpretation of the scriptures and meanings of "Confucius likes to drink", and the corners of his mouth twitched. Even if Fan Hongdao dared to teach, he didn't dare to let his family learn, and the consequences were unimaginable.

So Yang Chaofeng replied very considerately: "Mr. Fan will be busy with affairs in the future, and the matter of the puppy going to school will not bother Mr. Fan." There is also a famous private school teacher in the south of the city, and when the puppy is a few years older, he can send it to study. ”

In fact, Fan Hongdao didn't have much interest in the people of the Yang family themselves, what kind of background did a merchant family that had only gradually started in the past two years have to dig out? But he was very curious about Miss Zhang, who had not seen the end of the dragon, so he asked about the origin of Miss Zhang.

Yang Chaofeng snorted, only saying that Miss Zhang was a junior niece from her hometown and lived at home for a while.

This is similar to what the shopkeeper said, but Fan Hongdao still didn't believe it. Miss Zhang is obviously from a big door, Yang Chaofeng has such a relative, why didn't he earn some family business until the past two years?

But Yang Chaofeng didn't want to go into details, and Fan Hongdao would be annoying if he pestered and asked, so he could only stop there. In other words, Fan Hongdao, who has just become Mr. Xixi of the Yang family, is still a newcomer, and he has not been trusted to the point that he has no secrets to hide.

Yang Chaofeng was afraid that Fan Hongdao would be too enthusiastic, and he must take the responsibility of teaching the younger generations of the Yang family to Jingyi Shiwen, and he also deliberately diverted the topic and talked about other work in detail, especially focusing on social affairs.

"Nowadays, the entertainment is gradually complicated, but there are always times when the old man is lacking in skills or inconvenient to come forward, but others in the family are not on the stage, and they are often clumsy when they greet guests or go out to visit, not to mention that they can replace the appearance, and there is no one to accompany the guests. Now that I have Mr. Fan, it can be called the solution to my urgent need. Yang Chaofeng said with emotion.

After all, today's society is a society that advocates reading, and the political status and social status of the scholars are high, and it is indeed the best for the scholars to come forward to do some ceremonial communication affairs.

For example, when someone else's family has a happy event, sending a house slave to say goodbye is absolutely different from sending a scholar to say goodbye. Or when there is a guest at home, and the host's family is temporarily inconvenient to come forward, Mr. Xixi will receive it at home, so that people will not feel rude.

"It's good to say, and you should do your best when you make up your mind. Fan Hongdao said with determination.

Yang Chaofeng thought of something again, "There is also the government, since Mr. Fan is also a famous scholar, he will have to trouble Mr. Fan when he deals with the government in the future." ”

This is also true, and scholars with fame have a unique advantage in dealing with the government. Not to mention anything else, ordinary people don't even have the right to write letters to magistrates, and the officials have to reply on their knees, while the scholars can write a letter to communicate, and the officials don't have to kneel to talk.

This is also the proper meaning of the word. Fan Hongdao didn't refuse, he felt that this was the most careful work, so he asked carefully: "I don't know which are the official governments that have more to do with the owner?"

Yang Chaofeng replied: "There are mainly two, one is the Chongwenmen Tax Branch set up by the Ministry of Households, and the other is the county government of Daxing County. ”

The Chongwenmen Tax Division was fine, but when he heard the words "Daxing County Ya", Fan Hongdao's heart jumped suddenly.

A few days ago, I just wrote a poem and scolded Qin County Cheng in Daxing County, and in the blink of an eye, I went to deal with the county government of Daxing County, and the consequences were really unpredictable. At the beginning, I scolded people happily, but I never expected that there would be such a cause and effect.
