There are people in the court who are easy to do, and I don't know if Ji Yunfei, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, has taken the path of Lord Zhuo, and the ink scroll when He Henghui took the exam was picked out of the process of Da Nei, and his name also appeared on the list of the proposed cabinet secretary. Mobile

Compared with the first moves in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and other provinces, his small hand and the articles he made are not outstanding, but the imperial court has always taken care of candidates from distant provinces such as Yunnan, Guizhou, Liangguang, Fujian and Sichuan.

Although it is only from the seventh grade, he is also a Beijing official, although he has not been in office for a long time, and he has never even helped others to seal the knot, Director Zhang still sent someone to send him fifteen taels of seal money the day before yesterday!

Seeing that he not only had official money, incorruptible silver, rice silver, and money, Yang Juren of Jiangbei Hall, who was not rich in hand, felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but complain.

Han Xiufeng didn't want a few of his fellow villagers to be suspicious because of this incident, so he went to the northern half of the alley several times in private, and asked Ji Yunfei, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, to help him think of a way.

Coincidentally, the Guildhall had no choice but to take the transcript.

The transcription of the Huidian Hall is not an official like the transcription of the three museums of national history, actual records, and strategies, and naturally there will be no money, but after the expiration of the five-year period, it can be obtained through "discussion", and it will not affect the next year's examination, and it will not affect the big challenge. Yang Juren naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, and followed Han Xiufeng to the northern half of the alley to thank him for his kindness, and he went to the exam with great energy, and was admitted in one fell swoop.

The two of them go out early and return late every day, Qian Junchen took office in Hubei half a month ago, the newly rented courtyard became a little deserted, Han Xiufeng was hesitant to move in to live, Daoguang had to return to his hometown in the 30th year of his mother's death, and Ao Tongchen, who had to return to his hometown because of the death of his mother, came from Rongchang's hometown, and came with his family and family.

Rongchang Ao's family is too famous, Han Xiufeng hurriedly helped their family settle down in Lijin, and then accompanied Ao Tongchen to meet Ji Yunfei in the northern half of the alley, and didn't go to the guild hall until he finished eating at Ji's house.

Dozens of craftsmen have been working for more than three months, and the hall has almost been built, and the rest is all carpenter work, Pan Er and Datou all live in the freshly built house these days, it is the turn of spring and summer, although there are no doors and windows, it is not cold.

Seeing Han Xiufeng coming to the hall at night, Pan Er got up and asked, "Fourth brother, what are you doing so late?" ”

"Don't worry, come and have a look." Han Xiufeng carried the anti-wind lantern and asked while watching, "Did Old Man Liu say what he would do tomorrow when he left?" ”

"Say, say seven bricklayers and four carpenters tomorrow, let's clean up the yard here, and say that we will open doors and windows here." Pan Er took out an account book from under his pillow and followed: "This is something to be used tomorrow, I will go and tell them as soon as they get to work, and I will send it early tomorrow morning, and I will never delay their work." ”

"Okay, you're tired these days."

"I'm tired, and I don't have to work." Pan Er glanced back at the big head that was sleeping like a dead pig, and asked curiously, "Fourth brother, how did you arrange that old man Ao in the morning?" ”

"How can we arrange it, let their family live with us first, Qian Junchen is gone, and the entrance inside is just empty."

"Did he give any money?"

"Given, you don't want to think about what the identity of the other person is, I haven't opened my mouth yet, and the other person has given fifty taels!"

"Isn't he just a Jishi, and he is not a serious Master Hanlin, no matter how noble his status is, can he be honored by Master Ji?"

"You know what!" Han Xiufeng put down the anti-wind lantern, sat down and explained: "Rongchang Ao's family is known as 'Ao Ban County', cultivating and reading heirlooms, scholarly families, and it scares people to death when they say it, don't say that we have to treat each other politely, even if Master Gu is here, he has to be polite to others." ”

"What's the background?"

"There are a lot of big officials on the ancestors, when I was eating at night, I heard Master Ji say that the earliest can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, someone in his family has done the Ministry of Shangshu, the Yuan Dynasty has been a soldier of the Ministry of Soldiers, has done Fujian patrol, has done Zhejiang Titai! In the previous dynasty, there were five Jinshi in their family alone, and the largest official did the Shangshu of the Criminal Department and the Shandong Patrol, and there were even more talents and people. ”

Pan Er was taken aback, thought about it and asked, "What about these years, have there been any talents over the years?"

Han Xiufeng said with a smile: "It's out, what kind of scholarly door can you call if you don't have talents." He is a Jinshi, and his uncle Ao Youxian is also a Jinshi, and in the sixteenth year of Daoguang, he was awarded the magistrate of Suiyang County. In the eighteenth year of Daoguang, he was the magistrate of Tongzi County, Guizhou. Daoguang was appointed as the main hall of Suiyang County again in the nineteenth year, but he was already immortal. ”

"One Door Two Jinshi!"

"Now it's a two-jinshi, and it won't be long before it will be a three-jinshi."

Pan Er asked, "Does he still have a person in his family?" ”

"Yes," Han Xiufeng rubbed his legs and explained: "When he was eating wine in the evening, he said that his cousin Ao Xixian's knowledge was even better than him, because he also had to keep filial piety at home and didn't catch up with this year's Enke, but next year's spring festival will definitely catch up, and he will come to Beijing in a few months, otherwise he won't rent such a yard." ”

"My good man, there are several jinshi in the family, and he is really a scholar!"

"I know, so people have a background." Han Xiufeng patted Pan Er on the shoulder and sighed: "We have no hope in this life, but our baby can't be like us, no matter how poor and difficult it is in the future, we have to smash the pot and sell iron for them to study." Everything is inferior, only reading is high, and not reading is really useless. ”

"This is natural," mentioning this, Pan Er couldn't help but smile and said: "Fourth brother, I told my father in the letter, I won't ask my family for money in the future, he doesn't need to give me any more money, as long as my two babies study." If my two babies can be admitted to Xiucai and Juren, my Pan family is not also a scholar! ”

"Brother Pan, it's not to pour cold water on you, it's not enough to become the first one or two scholars in the real scholarly family, you have to cultivate and read heirlooms like the Rongchang Ao family! You can't believe it, no matter whether they are male or female, there is no illiterate in their Ao family, and even the mother-in-law who married has studied for a few years and is omniscient. ”

"The girl also wants to study?"

"Hmm."

"How much does it cost to study in such a big family!"

"Everyone is literate, and there are people in the family, Jinshi, and more talents, so you don't need to go out to ask Mr., your family can teach. Moreover, people have land, shops, and business in the city, and there is no shortage of money to ask for the gentleman's money. Mentioning that Han Xiufeng remembered another thing, he muttered again: "The shelves of the guild hall are barely erected, and the little money on the public account has been almost spent, and I don't know when Master Gu will be able to remit it." ”
