Chapter 145: A Family of Four
Wang Yiren can be the big brother of these new science and technology scholars, firstly, he is indeed older; second, he is kind and reliable; The third is that he served in the Hanlin Academy, and occasionally drafted edicts in and out of the court, and was relatively well-informed.
Of course, the most well-informed is the champion Liu Ruozai, but since he became a close attendant of the Son of Heaven, they have rarely seen him in the same year.
After a moment of silence, the room gradually became active again, and everyone knew that they would not mention it anymore, but turned to drinking and thanking the emperor for his grace.
A banquet was drunk until the sun was shining, and these people were ready to take advantage of the excitement.
Wang Yiren touched his pocket and took out the twenty taels of snowflake silver, which also had a royal seal on it, indicating the origin of the ingot silver.
"Little Er, check out!"
Wang Yiren's tongue was a little loud from drinking, but the sound of the checkout still penetrated the ears of the little two who were waiting in the hall.
"Here you are!"
As soon as he sang and shouted, he heard a sound of footsteps knocking, and Xiao Er was instantaneous.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's a total of five taels or six dollars."
After Xiao Er finished reporting the account, everyone looked up at Wang Yiren with a smile.
Although Wang Yiren was prepared, he still felt a little painful when he heard the quotation of five taels or six yuan, but when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he immediately felt a little heartbroken, and slapped the silver that had not yet been heated on the table.
Seeing a finely made twenty taels of silver lying on the table, Xiao Er's eyes lit up, and he wanted to step forward to take it away and take it to the counter to exchange or cut.
Of course, the possibility of exchange is greater, for this kind of official silver with good quality, the store will be busy accepting it, and then exchange it for some folded silver, and you can still make some money inside and out.
Xiao Er put the tablecloth on his shoulder, and was about to step forward, but was stopped by Zhou Rang, who was sitting at the door.
"Brother Dao, don't panic to settle the bill, the younger brothers are joking with you, how can you pay so much silver, we discussed it before we came, or the same as before, everyone will get together."
After Zhou Rang finished speaking, Zheng Shiduo, who was sitting next to Wang Yiren, helped him put away the silver and followed.
"Brother Chudao, we talked about playing before, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously."
The crowd echoed, and then began to dig out the money.
"Haha, you boys, I'm so scared that I didn't eat this meal, but I've been asking you to invite you, and it's time for me to invite you today."
As he spoke, Wang Yiren took out the silver again.
Seeing that Wang Yiren really wanted to have a treat, but to make the big brother, who was already in a difficult situation, pay so much money at once, and the others were a little embarrassed, and in the stalemate, Liu Ruxing stood up.
"Brother Dao, don't fight anymore, the few meals we ate before can't add up to so much silver, otherwise, let's get together this time, and you will invite you next time."
After Liu Ruxing finished speaking, everyone said that this idea was good, and Wang Yiren was inconvenient to insist on it.
And they paid their bills together, and went home.
Wang Yiren and the others were separated in the same year, and after leaving the brewery, he rushed to his home in Chongbeifang, an outer city.
On the way, Wang Yiren went to Silk Street to buy two pieces of cloth, and the Hun family and Chenmei hadn't made new clothes for a long time.
I went to the calligraphy and painting workshop to buy a set of four treasures of the study, and Brother Run'er was studying hard, so this was indispensable.
Then at the mouth of the alley, Li Butcher's house took two catties of pork and two catties of mutton, and asked for a few pieces of cooked food.
When I was about to enter the house, I thought about it and went to the Wu family's pastry shop at the entrance of the alley next door, and bought the jade belt cake and snowflake cake that the Hun family and Chenmei liked the most.
After buying these, Wang Yiren entered the house with a large bag.
As soon as you enter the courtyard at the end, open the courtyard door, turn the shadow wall of the east wing, and it is the courtyard in front of the main house.
When the courtyard is a large locust tree unique to the north, a set of stone tables and stone benches under the tree, the locust tree is very large, the yard is small, a tree basically covers most of the yard, it is indeed a good place to enjoy the cool in summer.
Wang Yiren is a native of Jiaozhou, Jiaozhou is near the sea, the summer is very cool, Wang Yiren's family can not stand the heat of the inland, at that time for this shade tree, deliberately chose this yard.
Wang Yiren showed his head in the courtyard just now, and a pretty voice came out first.
"Daddy's back!"
Then a little girl of seven or eight years old, combed two little tricks, and ran out of the hall with a jump.
Then a half-sized boy in the east wing poked his head out, the boy had already been enlightened, and he didn't dare to learn from his sister to jump out of it, after leaving the east wing, he first solemnly bowed to the father and son, and then stepped forward to help his father get something.
"Daddy, why did you buy so many things, wow, this is snowflake cake, ha, and jade ribbon cake."
The little girl didn't help to pick up the things, but went to pick up the pastries in the oiled paper bag, shouting excitedly while turning them back.
Seeing that his father bought such a thing, Brother Run was also happy, especially when he saw the four treasures of Yumozhai's study, his eyes couldn't move, but he was not as exaggerated as his sister, and he didn't forget to take the two pieces of cloth on his father's shoulders.
The sound in the courtyard naturally alarmed the hostess of the house, and before the father and son had cleaned up the door, a tall woman in her thirties, dressed in a bikini, walked out of the hall.
Seeing Wang Yiren carrying so many things home at once, he was also surprised for a while.
"Your Majesty's reward?"
The Hun family knew that Wang Yiren had gone to attend the Zhengdan Dynasty Meeting early in the morning, because his home was far away, Wang Yiren went out in the morning.
And his Hun family got up at the beginning of the year to boil porridge and baked flatbread for him, and stood outside all day, it was cold in winter, and there was no food in his stomach.
Wang Yiren's Hun family is the daughter of a small Zhou landlord in their township, and Wang Yiren married after winning Xiucai when he was thirty-two years old, more than ten years younger than him.
At that time, the father-in-law thought that his son-in-law could make persistent efforts to make a triple yuan, but he didn't think that this would be more than ten years, and it was not until Wang Yiren was forty-five years old that he enrolled in the department.
Over the years, Wang Yiren has always insisted on starting a career, and he has not found a private school or an errand in the county government, and the family has relied on a small amount of corn every month to live, and the Hun family can only do some needlework to supplement the family, and sometimes they have to rely on their father-in-law to help, and life is still very tight.
Fortunately, all this has a good result, Wang Yiren came and went, first won the move last year, and then won the jinshi this year, and also entered the Hanlin Academy, which is envied by everyone in the capital, and the family also moved to the capital.
And Wang Yiren's Hun family doesn't have to look at his sister-in-law's face anymore when he returns to his parents' house, although he doesn't say it, but his husband is promising, and the Hun family is still very happy.
Of course, what made Wang Zhou's happiest was that after Wang Yiren was lifted, someone donated his land to send a beautiful concubine, and Wang Yiren pushed it all, this attitude made his Hun family feel that he had no one to trust, and the hardships of these years were not in vain.
