Chapter 110: Calculation
Hua Changguang was uneasy, and he went to the exam with Hua Changzu. At first, he was angry, but he wanted to see if it was just to live in an inn and take a test, why did he spend all this money over the years?
But after a long experience, he went to the inn to settle down, and Hua Changzu invited his classmates to dinner, and he had a good name, what exchange articles to discuss knowledge. He went with him once or twice, but not only did he not understand their "Zhihu also", but he also fell into idleness. Those scholars were polite one by one, but his eyes were clearly disdainful and despised. Even Hua Changzu thought he was embarrassed and didn't let him follow.
He felt that he had no face, so he stopped following, and he didn't go out at the inn every day, and it seemed that the scholars who took the exam were all in high spirits, as if they would become an official master in the next moment.
Everyone is the same, so he didn't think that Hua Changzu was inappropriate.
But after the exam, he urged him to go home, but Hua Changzu wanted to live and wait for the results.
At the beginning, he said that his classmates had an appointment, and he would have to have connections if he took the exam or become an official in the future, and he would have to run it now.
Hua Changguang thinks that it is a reasonable child, and it is easy to get along with the village chief, and he understands a reason.
But what made him panic was that he watched an old show go crazy.
It was the first day after the exam, he went out at noon to buy a bowl of cheap noodles to eat, there was a commotion on the street, and he saw a little old man with a gray beard running madly from one end of the street to the other, shouting that I was hit, I am in high school.
As soon as I inquired, I found out that this person was famous, and the young Xiucai was once famous, and everyone thought that he had a great future, but unfortunately year after year, he stumbled until his hair and beard turned white, and he was still just a poor and sour talent. This time I came to the exam again, just now I discussed the exam questions with the students, and after an analysis, I broke the question and deviated from the direction, and there was no hope for it, and I was crazy with phlegm.
"Alas, this kind of thing is not uncommon, two or three years often, either crazy or stupid, crazy or not, his family can be liberated, year after year, who can stand it? I can always live a good life. ”
Hua Changguang was still a little stunned at the time, and asked others, is it either a talent in the examination or an official master?
The man looked him from head to toe and foot to head, and said all over his face that you were a hillbilly.
Don't be angry when you patronize the flowers, and ask for advice with an open mind.
The man was in a good mood and said to him: "Do you see that the shops in our city are full of scholars and students? ”
Hua Changguang nodded.
"What a big place, just those people. Do you estimate for yourself, how much does the country have? If you are a talent in the exam, you will become an official? The capital can't be stuffed. You're a rare talent. I tell you that it's okay, Xiucai is the beginning, and then you have to take the exam, and then Jinshi. Raise people to take the exam in Fucheng, but Jinshi takes the exam in the capital once every three years. There are only a few hundred people at a time, and the whole country is court, and it is fortunate to see the face of the sky, which is the palace test. The Son of Heaven invigilated, and the champion list spread the world. Got it? How many talents do you count? As for the old man, if you can't get a good official position in the Jinshi exam, some Jinshi have a poor ranking, or you have no money and no connections, and you can't wait for an appointment for a lifetime. ”
Hua Changguang's face turned white: "Is it so difficult to be an official?" ”
The man shook his head: "It's just luck, it's not that we ordinary people can't become officials." Those in the poor countryside, no one wants to rob, can still be distributed to the next people. What's the oil and water there. ”
"It's better than farming."
"That's true, but you have to be admitted to the Jinshi first, and if you don't get in, it's better to farm. Look at that old showman, I've been in it all my life, tsk. ”
Crazy Xiucai ran in front of Hua Changguang again.
That night, Hua Changguang decided to take Hua Changzu to leave immediately, but unfortunately, Hua Changzu came back drunk and unconscious, so of course he didn't make it.
The next day, Hua Changzu didn't wait for him to speak, and went to the banquet in a hurry, saying what to see the Confucian. On the third day, what kind of son's tea banquet. On the fourth day, it was the Biwen meeting again.
Hua Changguang was angry, this is a waste of money, even if others entertained others, Hua Changzu also paid money to reward people, and also bought a lot of paper fan sachet pendants in a mess, what to say elegant.
Phew, does he want the family to drink the northwest wind?
Hua Changguang didn't want to bear it anymore, so he decided to pull someone away directly.
Hua Changzu came back full of alcohol, but he was still sober, squeezing his eyebrows and asking him if he wanted to relax.
Hua Changguang was stupid for a long time, and Hua Changzu hinted a few more words, and he realized that he was going to prostitute and pull himself into the water.
Phew, a belly of male thieves and female prostitutes, and what do you say that adding fragrance to red sleeves is the most elegant thing in the world, do you dare to say it in front of the Fang family.
Hua Changguang's face sank, no matter what Hua Changzu said, Ma Li packed his clothes and packages and called a car to pull him on the way home.
Heart, Fang Clan is so grateful to him.
After coming back, Hua Changguang always thought about it and pondered from time to time, and always felt that Hua Changzu was unreliable, and the father and mother who loved his youngest son were also unreliable, as the head of the family, he had to plan more for his house.
"We don't have much to share, so we have to plan now." Hua Changguang has no face to say that Hua Changzu, in case the Zhang clan makes trouble, it doesn't look good.
"The village chief said that one acre of land is fifty wen, and it will be smooth, you both go, and you will always get a hundred a day. That is, the two of you only open one acre, and it is also our family's own income. If we get a lot, we will also buy land to open up the wasteland, and one acre can be one acre, and it is also our family's own private property, and your grandfathers and grandmothers don't have to say it. If you get less, save it for your mother, and you will have to use it for your daughter-in-law and children in the future. ”
"Dad, it's not that we're lazy, we still have a lot of strength," Hua Shunfeng still felt that Hua Changguang's decision was too sudden: "But I really don't have the face to go." ”
Hua Shunshui also said that he also had no face.
Hua Chang was angry, patting the table: "Lao Tzu told you clearly, your fourth uncle is a bottomless pit, who knows how much the family has to fill in after the exam every year?" Our family has to earn private property now. ”
Zhang's chuckled: "His father, what did you say?" ”
Hua Changguang told all the things he heard about the talent and the promotion of people.
"My God, I have sold a lot of land at home before I took the exam, why do you have to take the test?"
Hua Shunshui asked, "Does Dad think the fourth uncle can pass the exam?" ”
Hua Changguang opened his mouth, I don't know if Xiucai is not successful at present, who knows that it will be more difficult than Xiucai.
The family understands that nine out of nine are no play.
Hua Shunshui gritted his teeth: "My brother and I will go here." ”
The people in the third room have long been ill-intentioned in his eyes, and now they have added another article: those who fight for family property.
Grandparents are so eccentric, it's not impossible for their own family to get nothing. It's nothing to earn it by himself, but Hua Shunshui has a ruthless expression, and he will never let others take advantage of him.
Hua Shunfeng was pulled away by Hua Shunshui, and Hua Xiang'er then led Hua Shun'an out of the door.
Immediately, Wang came to the door: "Sister-in-law, where are the children?" ”
Zhang's old hatred with her was hard to get rid of, so he didn't talk about it, but said lightly: "Why is my brother and sister's waist so thin?" Why don't you ask a doctor to take a look? ”
Wang's face darkened, and he turned around and left.
Her waist has begun to be fat, but her clothes are in the way, and Zhang's words are always unpleasant.
Don't blame Zhang, saying that the waist is thin, she listens to it as a curse to the child, and when she says that the waist is thick, she thinks it is a curse on herself.
Of course, Hua Changnian would not drive the four of Hua Shunfeng out, and when he saw them, he greeted them with a smile, and the four brothers and sisters, regardless of men and women, sat down directly and took a long breath.
Someone was surprised: "Tailwind? How many of you are here? ”
Hua Xiang'er saw that her brother was embarrassed, and hurriedly solved the siege: "Let's see what we can help." ”
Someone on the side laughed: "Why did you just sit down?" ”
Hua Xiang'er immediately blushed, and the three boys didn't feel good-looking.
Just as Hua Yu passed by, she was panting when she ran away with the dishes, and her eyes lit up when she saw Hua Xiang'er coming, and shouted: "Hua Xiang'er, come and help." ”
Hua Xiang'er had never been so grateful to her, she answered loudly, stood up and said, "Brother, I'll help Hua Yu." It's not good for you to stretch out your hand, so help your cousin greet the guests. ”
Hua Shunfeng saw her running into the house with her sleeves rolled, and she didn't hesitate at all, and finally felt a little relieved.
Hua Lei heard it and looked this way, rolled his eyes, and came over with a smile: "Flowers are windy, flowers are water, here?" Come and give me a hand. ”
It's not polite to call, and it's natural to call. Seeing that the two of them really followed him with stiff faces, they were happy, and told Hua Shun'an: "Don't sit here by yourself, Hua Bing is over there, sit with him." ”
The three brothers breathed a sigh of relief.
Hua Lei smiled, it's so good, here, only one came. (To be continued.) )
