Chapter 33 Chun'er who will invest
When Lian Jiayue told Lu Fengcai the good news, Lu Fengcai was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Before, he also joked that Lian Jiayue was a lucky person, but in fact, he was the lucky person. Unexpectedly, this opportunity came to me so suddenly.
Lu Fengcai was still in a daze, and Lian Jiayue had already said, "Why are you stunned?" What a great opportunity is this? You must think about it, your talent is there, but you must not be rude, and you have clean and beautiful clothes, which are not necessarily good materials, and must be neat. ”
Only then did Lu Fengcai react, and hurriedly pulled Lian Jiayue to help him refer to it, and asked some precautions.
Two days later, Lu Feng followed Lian Jiayue to the county lord's mansion and found Shui Han, who took him to see Chen Wenhui. Chen Wenhui asked him many questions, and he was very satisfied, and on the same day he was transferred to the financial department of Tiebiguan and entrusted with important tasks.
Lu Fengcai didn't expect that he would become an official like this. Ordinary officials of Dachu, but they have to take the Xiucai exam first, then raise people, and then go to Beijing to catch the exam, and only after passing the exam can they become officials. Where can he be like him, who has not been in school for a day and has become an official?
However, after he entered the yamen and really started working, he found that in the northwest, it was Chen Wenhui and his wife who said that all the rules were not rules here, and all the rules were only a little bit, and the words of the husband and wife in the northwest would be rules.
So, Lu Fengcai began to work with peace of mind. He doesn't care about colleagues who have strange eyes. Someone told him that you are now a high-ranking official. However, this is because the husband and wife of the northwest are raised, and if one day, the husband and wife of the northwest are not in the northwest, it will be miserable.
But Lu Fengcai was not afraid, he remembered what the former county lord said to him. Chen Wenhui said that he wanted to think clearly, once he became an official, he would not be an official of Dachu. After Chen Wenhui and his wife left the northwest. He must also be discharged. followed Chen Wenhui and his wife to Nanyang, the same is to be an official, and moreover, he will be promoted. Entrusted with important tasks. If you don't follow along. Chen Wenhui and his wife also did not provide asylum. I can only ask for more blessings.
At that time, Lu Fengcai didn't think about it, so he pledged his allegiance to Chen Wenhui. I promise to follow the Northwest husband and wife in the future. Chen Wenhui nodded with satisfaction.
So. Lu Fengcai is not afraid of those rumors at all, anyway, as long as he does a good job, in the future, the Northwest Gong will protect him for a lifetime. My future is really bright.
Lu Fengcai is like a fish in water here, and the wind and water are mixed. The Hu family learned that their future son-in-law had become an official, but they were dumbfounded. At the beginning, his family and Lu Fengcai got married, but in fact, there was still some meaning of low marriage. After all, Lu Feng is an outsider. Moreover, Lu Fengcai's family background is not good, and he doesn't have much money, just food and clothing. His daughter is a person with craftsmanship, technology, and monthly money. However, looking at it now, Lu Fengcai is already an official, and there is a big difference between officials and people.
The Hu family began to feel uneasy. may have guessed that the Hu family would be emotional. Lu Fengcai specially prepared gifts and went to Hu's house, with a humble attitude as always, ensuring that the marriage could be held as scheduled, and especially hoping that his wife would pass the door as soon as possible. This made the Hu family feel a little relieved.
After peace of mind, there was a kind of joy of winning the jackpot, who would have thought that a foreigner's son-in-law who was looking for at the beginning would become an official in such a short time. Since then, the Hu family is also a relative of the eunuch, what a glorious thing, first of all, the neighbors of the Hu family are different to the Hu family, and congratulations can be heard every day. The status of the Hu family has also gradually risen.
The Song family, who is about to become in-laws with the Hu family, is also happy, and the Song family has always told the girl that after marrying, she must have a good relationship with her sister-in-law, after all, she will be an official's wife from then on. climbed her, and in the future, he can also enjoy happiness.
In this joy and apprehension, the marriage of the Hu family and the Song family was carried out in advance. Ye Zi, a girl from the Song family, married into the Hu family, and after marriage, the two were very affectionate. Ye Zi and Hu Chun'er were originally good friends, they worked in one place every day, and now they go to work together and get off work together. With the help of Hu Chun'er, Ye Zi quickly passed this year's assessment and became a first-class embroiderer. And Hu Chun'er felt that her future husband had become an official, and she was a little unworthy of him, so she felt pressured in her heart, and had no way to do it, so she could only work harder to learn embroidery, and often learn literacy and painting like a master.
Hard work pays off, in the autumn of this year, finally Hu Chun'er also became the manager of the embroidery workshop, you can take apprentices, as long as five apprentices pass the assessment, you can have five taels of silver per month. At this point, Hu Chun'er has long had a plan. In fact, when she was at home, she taught some basic needlework from her relatives and her sister. Because she is gentle, diligent, and patient, the girls of these relatives, especially her sister, learn very quickly, and as soon as she becomes a steward, these five people enter the embroidery room, pass the assessment, and become a third-class embroiderer. Hu Chun'er also became a small steward, receiving five taels of silver a month.
At this time, it was also time for her to get married, although she had some psychological pressure to marry Lu Fengcai, who was already an official, but when she thought that she was the manager of the embroidery house, she had a high status, was respected, had a lot of monthly money, and did not have to rely on men to support her, so she had the confidence to marry Lu Fengcai very happily.
Besides, Hu Chun'er's dowry may not be as good as that of ordinary officials' wives, but in his own neighborhood, it is already the best. Better than his sister-in-law's dowry. The thirty taels of silver that Lu Fengcai gave at the beginning, her parents and brothers all spent it on her.
He also took the good wood from the mountains and forests in his house to the craftsman to make sturdy, durable and beautiful furniture, and filled Lu Fengcai's small courtyard with two entrances. When I got married, I used ten sets of furniture alone, and those gorgeous furniture made people drool with envy when they saw the excitement on the street.
Although there are many pieces of furniture, they are not the place where the most money is spent. In fact, the Hu family only paid some labor for these furniture. The thirty taels of silver, the Hu family has created excellent jewelry for Hu Chun'er, although there are not many, and most of them are silver jewelry, but the bright jewelry, placed in the dowry, is very eye-catching.
In addition to these jewelry, furniture, there are also those gorgeous clothes that everyone envy the most, at the beginning, Lu Fengcai took a lot of silk and satin, these already good quality satins, were made into gorgeous clothes by Hu Chun'er's skillful hands. In addition to those few pieces of silk, Hu Chun'er has been rewarded several times for her hard work.
The reward of the embroidery workshop, in addition to sending some silver, gives the most is a variety of fashionable clothing, almost two years of accumulation, Hu Chuner has accumulated more than a dozen horses of various clothing, there are satin, yarn, and tweed. These were all made into beautiful clothes by Hu Chun'er.
There are four seasons, thin and thick. Because Hu Chun'er knows that after getting married, she will be the wife of an official, and if she doesn't have gorgeous clothes, she will be embarrassed by her husband. So, she made all of these into beautiful clothes.
These clothes alone are packed in large crates, a full three boxes, which are three lifts.
In addition to these, Hu Chun'er's monthly money this year has been saved and not spent, as well as the reward money that Hu Chun'er himself has received. These alone cost nearly fifty taels of silver. This is mainly because in the later two months, Hu Chun'er became a steward, and each month was five taels of silver. Moreover, the embroidery workshop encourages marriage and childbearing. Whoever signs a contract and continues to work after he has married a husband will be given a dowry of ten taels of silver.
Because Hu Chun'er has made great contributions to the family before, and now Hu Chun'er's younger sister Hu Xia'er has also entered the workshop to work, although it is only a third-class embroidery girl with 500 yuan a month, but she is no longer a student who only spends money, but a worker who makes money. Naturally, life at home is much better.
The family cut down all the timber of the 1,000 acres of mountain forest this year and sold it for a lot of money, because they didn't have to repay the bank loan, so the family had some surplus. After paying off the twenty taels of silver for marrying Song Ye'er, as well as the money spent on doing happy events and buying a house, for Hu Chun'er, Hu Laohan gritted his teeth and gave Hu Chun'er more than fifty taels of silver at home.
In this way, Hu Chun'er suddenly had one hundred taels of silver. Hu Chun'er thought about it, one hundred taels of silver is a big amount for a family like herself, but it is not necessarily nothing to Lu Fengcai, who is already an official, so Hu Chun'er decisively took one hundred taels of silver, bought one hundred acres of mountains and forests, and borrowed four hundred taels of silver in her own name, and asked her brother and father to cut it down for her, and prepare to plant all fruit trees next year. These 500 acres of fruit forest are next to his family's 1,000 acres of fruit forest.
Hu Chun'er's loan is not like a loan at home, where interest is repaid after three years and repaid after six years. Because she has monthly money every month and has no family burden, she can repay the money every month. I have five taels of silver a month, and a year is a monthly amount of sixty taels of silver, plus all kinds of rewards, how can I have about eighty taels. Besides, Hu Chun'er has already recruited five smart little girls from the neighbors to teach them embroidery, and it won't be long before they can become teachers and pass the assessment, so that they can become stewards, which is ten taels of silver a month. In this way, he will be a person with an income of no less than one hundred taels in the next year.
Therefore, Hu Chuner decisively chose to repay the interest every month, and if the principal is repaid after three years, the principal can also be repaid in the middle, so that the interest can be reduced. (To be continued......)
