Chapter 358: Arriving in the capital
This person may have gone to heart disease, and his body will get better quickly. On the way, the eldest aunt helped boil the medicine twice and drank it, and said that it was completely fine, and there was no need to take any more medicine. After passing through a medical hall to show the doctor, the doctor also said that his body was indeed fine, so he stopped taking the medicine, after all, it is really inconvenient to boil medicine on the road.
This person's surname is Qian Zhongyun, and his family lives in the place where Erya and they have also been, which is the county seat where they caught the bandits crossing the river back then. His father was a businessman, and he was the eldest son and a concubine. In this era, concubines and concubines did not have any social status, and they were better than the servants at home in terms of eating, drinking, and dressing, and the others were not much higher. There can be no personal property, let alone a separate door, even if it is separated, it can only be divided in one clothes, and nothing else. It is said that in some dynasties, concubines are not allowed to enter the school, let alone enter the officialdom, and if they really want to fight for a future, there is only one place - the battlefield.
The concubine is so lowly, it is said that Qian Zhongyun's mother-in-law should not take it to heart. In fact, his mother-in-law really didn't reassure him before, and his father didn't take care of him, and he grew up relying on his grandmother. His grandmother saw that his grandmother was getting stronger and stronger, and she was afraid that this grandson would have to be a slave in this family for the rest of his life. Fortunately, God took care of it, and just when the old lady was thinking about how to find another way out for this poor eldest grandson, the imperial court was gracious and allowed the children of merchants to become officials in the imperial examination, and the eldest grandson was also the age of study. She secretly paid for her husband, and set up a small place elsewhere to teach her grandson knowledge. The old lady has too much planning, and this money Zhongyun is also promising, and she secretly read books for nearly ten years before entering the examination room, and she was admitted to the examination in one go. I thought I had hit the lifter. For the merchants, the threshold is quite high, and his mother-in-law should be very happy, but who knows that his mother-in-law is very happy on the surface. Behind his back, he was going to harm him. He couldn't figure it out, supposedly if he was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official, wouldn't it be better for his brother to do business in the future?
After his health was better, he often helped or discussed the topics of the scientific examination with Xiaolong when everyone was resting or cooking.
On this day, when they passed through Yuzhou Mansion, they went to the open space at noon to rest and cook. Xiaohu looked at the second uncle who was drying his hands while adding firewood to the fire, and asked, "Second uncle!" Anzi is in this state capital to be the same knowledge. I'll send them the things I brought to them in a while, do you and your second aunt want to go over and see them and the children together? ”
The second uncle replied without raising his head: "You go!" We're not going, it's freezing cold. They still have to toss to get there. I've discussed it with your aunt, and when I return after the New Year, I'll go over and see them. You help talk to Yasuko. lest An's daughter-in-law think too much. ”
"Hey! I know! ”
Qian Zhongyun listened on the side. Feeling that his conjecture was becoming more and more correct, he asked Xiaolong in a low voice: "Brother Wang!" Are you the royal family of Hepu Town? ”
Wang Xiaolong didn't care about the overly excited look on Qian Zhongyun's face, and nodded casually, "Hmm! What's wrong? ”
Qian Zhongyun saw that Xiaolong had confirmed his conjecture, and his excited words were not good: "Ah! Still, still, it's true! ”
Wang Xiaolong looked at Qian Zhongyun, who was a little overly excited, and followed his example: "Really, really, really!" What do you have, have, and say? ”
Qian Zhongyun asked Wang Xiaolong to laugh out loud, and it took a while to hold back the laughing pain in his chest. After laughing happily, I felt that my relationship with Wang Xiaolong had suddenly become closer. When he talked to Xiaolong again, he seemed a lot more casual: "I don't have anything to say!" It's that the Wang family in Hepu Town is too famous. I never imagined I would see it with my own eyes. I can also go to the capital with you. Ah! It's like a dream! ”
Xiaolong never knew that his family would be very famous, he was a little stunned and looked at Qian Zhongyun who was a little misty, "My family is very famous?" ”
"Yes! Brother Wang doesn't know? The major academies are crazy, as long as you can take refuge in the door of your family Mr. Shi, the stubborn stone can also show off talents. ”
When Xiaolong heard this, he rolled his eyes in boredom, "Cut!" To: "Do you believe that?" ”
Qian Zhongyun smiled noncommittally, pondered for a long time before looking directly at Xiaolong and replied: "Believe it, don't believe it!" Human ingenuity is hard to predict. If you guide the right way, a fool can become the smartest person in the world; If you lead the wrong way, a genius can be wasted like an idiot. Therefore, some people say that Mr. is not important, the key is whether the student is studious or not, but I think Mr. is actually very important, whether the student is studious and whether he can be enlightened, it all depends on whether the teacher can guide him well and whether he can open the student's mind.
I don't believe it because this rumor is exaggerated. I have learned carefully about your Wang family's school, and so far, at least more than 100 people have left the school. However, there are only twenty or thirty people who participated in the scientific examination, so even if all the students who participated in the scientific examination were selected, compared to the students taught by your family Mr. Shi, it was only about 20 percent. So"
"Hmm!" Xiaolong nodded appreciatively, "You are not bad, you look at other people's rumors more rationally, you don't have to listen blindly, you still know how to understand the situation and analyze it so clearly." If the things in the book are solid, you should have no problem taking the test this time. ”
Qian Zhongyun asked in surprise: "Really? Then I have been following you to learn the knowledge in the book for the past few months, and I also asked Brother Wang to point out a few suitable books and junior brother. ”
"That's easy to say! My books are also prepared by the history curator, you can borrow them first, and then prepare new books when you arrive in the capital. ”
Qian Zhongyun was able to be with Wang Xiaolong, who was taught by the legendary very powerful Mr. Shi, as if he had received some kind of guarantee, and he always felt that as long as he studied hard with Wang Xiaolong for three months, he would definitely be able to get it. He doesn't care about the ranking now, he just wants to be able to get in, even if he is a master for others, as long as he gets rid of that family.
There are actually a lot of people who rushed to the exam in advance along the way, but everyone has a carriage and silver, and the luggage is also properly prepared, but there is no one who is as unlucky as Qian Zhongyun, and has become a poor egg, and he does not dare to ask for help from his family, so he can only accept the help of the Wang family. Although the others do not need help, it is also safe to be able to follow behind the Wang family's convoy. Yes, when the Wang family is about to arrive in the capital. It was followed by a long convoy with no tail in sight. Let those passers-by who don't know the inside story ask for a good time, "Which big family has entered Beijing?" ”
"I haven't heard of it! Such a big movement. There should have been a letter in advance, why didn't we hear the slightest news before? ”
"Hurry! Look, there's someone there! How is it a bit like the guy who bought the house? ”
"Roar! It's really the brother of the Wang family, it turned out to be the Wang family! However, although this Wang family is not a big family, the momentum is not small. The champion of the upper department, the tanhua of the upper department, and the champion of martial arts, but they are all from this Wang family! There are also tens of thousands of taels of carriages, as well as new down jackets, raincoats and rain boots, glass, the water jar that can be bathed in the sun, the non-fading flower cloth, the sweaters, fur coats, leather shoes and many other things are from this Wang family, and their things can be said to occupy half of the market in our capital. This Wang family really wants to talk about it. Although it's not a big family, it's a big deal. ”
"Ouch! According to what you say, isn't this Wang family the Wang family in Hepu Town! Why did they come to the capital for the New Year? ”
The people of the Wang family who came from afar, and the big ones who came early and waited for others. I didn't expect that the three generations of the Wang family would come to the capital for the New Year, which would cause a small sensation in the capital.
The candidates who followed the exam only then knew that what they were following was the miraculous Wang family of Hepu Town, which was spread among the readers.
On the one hand, the students sent by Director Shi to the examination have a high success rate, but the craziest among the poor students is: the colleges in Luzhou Mansion and the following counties. The students inside are all rich. But it's not that they all have money in their families. It's a mouthful, but it's actually quite simple. In order to help the poor students of the state academy earn some money, the Wang family came up with the idea of letting students make villain books in their spare time. Unexpectedly, this matter is getting bigger and bigger, and all students from poor families in the entire state capital can join it as a permanent painter, writer, coloring and other types of work under the recommendation of the dean and Mr. And in order to facilitate the students of various colleges, the Wang family also set up branches in the local county. There was a lot of extra expenses, and there was no half-complaining or pleading. This makes a lot of students who are helped. There are also students from afar who have only heard about it but have not had the opportunity to receive such treatment, and they are very admired.
Such a legendary Wang family turned out to be one of these families that looked a little rustic, but was very amiable? The more they thought about it, the more they couldn't believe it, and they were afraid that they had heard it wrong. But in my heart, I thought that maybe only such a simple family would think about the interests of others while benefiting from their own family.
The Wang family didn't know that the examinees who followed them all the way were churning, and they were happy to see each other, greeting each other, how was the year going? Good no good?
Dahong and Xiangzi originally packed their things, and as soon as the matter was explained, they set off for home. Who knows, before they could walk, a message came from the family that they were coming over for the New Year. They are both happy, but they are afraid that their parents will not be able to stand the cold and dryness here. Dahong's daughter-in-law and Xiangzi's daughter-in-law were very happy, in their opinion, the capital is so prosperous, and the father-in-law and mother-in-law should come over to take a look while they can still move. If you can't move when you're old, you won't be able to come even if you want to, what's the point of having filial piety for your children?
It doesn't matter what everyone's mind is, it's all good! Thinking that it was coming in the next few days, Dahong and Xiangzi did not wait for Xiaohu to release the harrier to deliver the message, so they went to the city gate every day to wait, and the women packed up the house at home, prepared quilts, sheets, beds, etc. They knew Erya's habits, even if they bought a new quilt, they had to wash it before they could use it, so they washed all the new quilt covers and quilts they got back.
I was packing up the quilt on the balcony at home and going back, ready to make the bed, when I saw a large group of family members turning around at the intersection from the balcony. The two hadn't seen them for almost a year, so they naturally missed them very much, especially their respective children. As soon as they put the quilt on the bed, they hurried downstairs to greet everyone. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm annoyed today! The overwhelming publicity, today's shopping mall has a lot of things at a 50% discount. I went on a shopping spree and came back to look at the list, which is the usual membership price. This is not the root cause of the annoyance, the root cause is that too much time has been wasted for this and the update of this article has been delayed! I'm sorry!
