"Widow Jiang's eldest son has been admitted to Xiucai, and I heard that he is still the first."

"If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future, otherwise you can't even die with thunder, and the love is the world's Wenqu star, and Lei Gong doesn't dare to offend."

"His aunt, Jiang Xiucai and my family Xiuling grew up together, I want to ask you to talk to Jiang Huang's family to see if you can get married, if you can say this, I will give you 800 yuan of thank you money."

For the villagers of Pingshan Town, Xiucai is already close to the "Wenqu Star". Everyone talked with great interest that Xiucai Gong could see officials without kneeling, and envied Xiucai for exempting 20 acres of land tax and exempting the two of them from forced labor, Jiang Anyi became a "big man".

The Jiang family became very lively, and the people of Daohe trampled the weeds in front of the bamboo fence door cleanly. The eldest son was admitted to Xiucai, and the second son returned without lambs, Jiang Huang's illness was cured all of a sudden, and he received the villagers who came to congratulate him with a smile on his face. Yan'er likes to be lively the most, and she is so happy these days, running happily around the house and outside, her little red face is like an apple, and her eyebrows and eyes are overflowing with joy. An Yong's injuries scabbed, and his brother solemnly told him that he would help him avenge him, the young man couldn't hold anything in his heart, and he had already left his horror behind, if it wasn't for his mother not allowing him to move, it is estimated that there would be another "person crazy" in the family.

As the protagonist, Jiang Anyi's face was numb with laughter, not only to receive the villagers who congratulated him, but also to receive visitors who came to meet friends with poetry and literature with various purposes, fortunately, the Jiang family was small and there was no place to entertain, and the guests were constantly coming, which prevented Jiang Anyi from a lot of trouble.

It was busy until the beginning of May, when it finally calmed down, and the family was finally able to take a breath and sort out the gifts they received. The gifts of the villagers are simple and simple, and there is an extra flock of hens and ducks in the yard, and they are crying happily, and eggs, coarse cloth, millet and other things are piled high......

The courtesy is light and affectionate, the family happily classifies the gifts, Jiang Anyi uses notes well, people have to exchange, and these etiquettes will be returned when the time comes.

There are several gifts that have different meanings for Jiang Anyi, the first one is a banner of "Young Junjie" written by Chen Shide sent by the official to send him. Jiang Anyi knew that the "old fox" praised himself because he valued his future and the teacher-student relationship with Yu Zhijie, and made an investment in advance, but the Jiang family wanted to develop steadily in Xinqi County, and it was inseparable from Chen Shide's care, so this piece of paper was particularly important.

The second was a congratulatory gift sent by the Yu Mansion. Yu Qingyun and Yu Qingshan Courtyard returned from the trial, bringing the news of Jiang Anyi High School's head, Yu Zhiren, the head of the Yu family, admired the eldest brother's vision so much that he threw himself to the ground, no wonder the eldest brother said that this son is not a thing in the pool, and it should intersect at the end of the time. It was not too late to make amends, and Yu Fu sent a generous gift to show the goodwill and acceptance of the Yu family.

The third was twenty taels of silver sent by Guo Huaili. Hearing that Jiang Anyong had an accident, Guo Huaili rushed to Jiang's house in a carriage, at this time Jiang Anyi and his younger brother had returned home, seeing that Jiang Anyong was fine, Guo Fatzi returned to the form of a living treasure, if it weren't for the fact that the Jiang family had no extra room, Guo Huaili wanted to live here for ten days and a half months.

Jiang Anyi put down his pen and asked Jiang Huang: "Mother, how much money do you have at home?" ”

Jiang Huang counted his fingers and replied: "It turns out that there are still twelve taels left, you came back from Fucheng and gave your mother twenty-two taels, the Guo family sent twenty taels, and the family has more than fifty-five taels of silver and more than a thousand copper coins." ”

"Give me thirty taels of silver, and tomorrow I will go into the city to return the gift, and by the way, I will give my mother a hairpin and buy a pair of bracelets for Yan'er." Jiang Anyi said.

Jiang Huang took out thirty taels of silver from the box and instructed Jiang Anyi: "Save some money and spend some money, just forget the hairpin bracelet." You are also older, you can't marry in a few years without money, and this house is not enough, so my mother wants to expand two more. My mother is still thinking about buying a few acres of land, and your brother will have ten acres of land each, and your brother will not be cold and hungry in the future. ”

"Mother, don't worry, the money will be earned, you just wait to enjoy the blessings. An Yong doesn't have to worry, if I have a bite to eat, he will never let him go without food. Jiang Anyi smiled and patted An Yong's shoulder.

"Okay, good, good, my mother believes in you." Jiang Huang said while smiling and wiping away tears.

Yan'er asked strangely on the side, "Mother, why are you laughing and crying?" ”

"Mother is happy", Jiang Huang lovingly hugged Yan'er into his arms and kissed and kissed.

"By the way, your second uncle gave two taels of silver, but my mother didn't accept it," Jiang Huang remembered and said, "He wants to ask you to be accommodating to Chen County, and let Jiang Chen go home early." ”

Jiang Anyi frowned, and said coldly: "She did it herself, and An Yong was imprisoned in the cell because she harmed her, so I don't want to care about this idle matter." ”

Jiang Huang let go of Yan'er and said to Jiang Anyi with a straight face: "My mother hasn't read any books, and she doesn't know much truth, but she knows that being a man is to be grateful and repay." When your father died, it was your second uncle who helped him get through the difficulties, although your second aunt did something sorry for our family, but you can't just hold grudges and not remember gratitude, can you help or help. ”

Jiang Anyi was full of unhappiness, An Yong's injuries couldn't be just counted, Jiang Chen's mean and vicious, if she didn't teach her a lesson, she didn't know what would happen next time, her mother's heart was soft.

Jiang Huang saw his son's displeasure and continued to persuade: "As the saying goes, 'You have to forgive people and forgive people', and those books you read have the same words." Jiang Chen's family has also learned a lesson this time, for the sake of your second uncle's face, let her go. ”

Jiang Anyi was ashamed, the sage taught us to uphold the way of benevolence and forgiveness, and there was a teaching in the book that "there is tolerance, virtue is great", why did he forget it? What my mother said is right, for the sake of the second uncle's affection, I will go and say it myself, Jiang Chen's family wants to come to live in peace after this incident, and he is not afraid of her even if he has another matter.

Thinking of this, Jiang Anyi responded: "Mother's lesson is that the child will go to talk to Chen County Ling tomorrow and let Jiang Chen go home." Of course, generosity is not the same as pedantic, and some people can forgive, but others must not let go.

Entering the city the next day, Jiang Anyi went straight to the gold shop according to the pre-plan, and the time-honored Chang Yixiang bought a set of four pieces of gold jewelry, spending twenty-two taels of silver. This return gift was given to Chen County Ling, who only recognized yellow and white in his eyes, and gold is supreme for those who are mercenary.

Sure enough, Chen Xianling received a return gift from Jiang Anyi, smiled so much that the wrinkles on his face bloomed chrysanthemums, patted his chest and promised Jiang Anyi that he would come to him if he had something. Jiang Anyi mentioned the matter of Jiang Chen's family by the way, Chen County's order had already received Jiang Zhida's benefits, thinking that Jiang Chen's family would be released after a few days, Jiang Anyi mentioned it, and naturally agreed to come down.

After resigning from the county government, Jiang Anyi knew that as long as the gifts for the New Year were presented on time, this "Uncle Chen" would become the most trustworthy shoulder of the Jiang family.

Jiang Anyi, a gift to the Yu family, selected some bamboo artworks, the Yu family is rich and powerful, there is no shortage of anything, these elegant gifts just represent the heart. The Yu family happily accepted Jiang Anyi's gift and entertained Jiang Anyi to have lunch at home, during the banquet, Jiang Anyi took out the letter written in advance, and asked the Yu family to give it to Yu Zhijie when sending the letter, and the head of the family, Yu Zhiren, readily agreed.

Everything is self-explanatory, if Jiang Anyi stops at Xiucai, and the Yu Mansion also stops at nodding friends, if Jiang Anyi can go to the next level, with the relationship between Yu Zhijie, the Yu Mansion and the Jiang family will be closely linked, and in recent years, the Jiang family will be taken care of and protected by the Yu Mansion to a certain extent.

Finally, the Guo family, in addition to paying homage, Jiang Anyi also has a purpose, as for the gifts, roast duck, roast chicken, wine and meat, etc., it is right to get four things. The Guo family has a five-entry mansion in the south of the city, although it is not as luxurious as Yufu, but it can be called a mansion.

Guo Huaili greeted him in person and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, why did you come now, I know, you must be as busy as me." ”

Taking the oily paper bag in Jiang Anyi's hand, Guo Huaili sniffed it, and said with an intoxicated face: "The roast duck in the City God Temple, the roast chicken in Grandma Zhu, or Xiao Jiang knows me best, and knows that I am so busy that I have lost weight, wait for the two of us to have a good drink together." ”

Looking at Guo Huaili's higher and higher belly, Jiang Anyi was speechless for a while, this is thin, it is obvious that he has gained weight again.

During the meal, Guo's father Guo Haiqing also came to accompany him, with a Maitreya Buddha-like figure, a fat face with a smile forever, and Jiang Anyi's eyes were almost smiling when he saw him. After two glasses of wine, Guo Haiqing stood up and said with a smile: "You two are chatting slowly, I won't accompany you, so that you don't have to see me in the way." ”

Jiang Anyi came to discuss the folding fan business with the Guo family this time, so he hurriedly got up and said, "Uncle Guo, please sit down for a while, the little nephew still has some things to discuss with his uncle." ”

Guo Haiqing "hehe" and sat back in his position quietly.

Jiang Anyi had no intention of arguing, and said directly: "Uncle, I want to sell you the method of making folding fans, eighty taels of silver?" Or fifty taels? ”

Guo Haiqing has seen the folding fan in his son's hand, and heard that Jiang Anyi will also make bamboo pen holders, tea sets, wine utensils and other toys, and knows that this thing has a huge profit with his experience, the cost of a folding fan is only ten Wen, and it can be sold for 500 Wen at the beginning, and then it will stabilize the dividend of 180 Wen, if you add other bamboo utensils, the net profit will never be less than 5,000 taels in a year.

Secretly happy in his heart, Guo Haiqing looked immobile on the surface, holding a wine glass as if he was considering. Guo Huaili reminded on the side: "Dad, Anyi is my brother, you can't patronize business without paying attention to human feelings." ”

Guo Haiqing looked at Jiang Anyi seriously, he hadn't seen his head for a few months, his eyes were clear and firm, his demeanor became calm and confident, and he was no longer timid and cowering in his memory. This time, he won the first case in the hospital exam, and Li'er said that he was able to pass the exam, and he was also indebted to his help, and Lord Yu Zhi accepted him as a student, and Chen Xianling recognized him as a nephew, and it seems that the future is limitless.

With an idea in his heart, Guo Haiqing put down the cup with a smile and said, "Although I am in business, I can't let you suffer." In this way, I will buy this method for 200 taels, and if the business is prosperous in the future, I will share a dividend of 10% to you. What does the virtuous nephew think? ”

"Thank you, uncle", Jiang Anyi was overjoyed, two hundred taels of silver, enough for the family to spend a lifetime, raised his glass and respectfully toasted Guo Haiqing.

Watching his son and Jiang Anyi eat happily, Guo Haiqing was a little proud, the Guo family was not short of money, two hundred taels of silver should only be a good friend of Jiang Anyi, if Jiang Anyi can soar, with Li'er's friendship with him and today's events, the Guo family will definitely benefit. I heard Li'er say that there is a predecessor surnamed Lu, who invested in an emperor and became a prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, maybe my old Guo will be mentioned as a good eye in the future.

On the willow tip of the moon, the father and son of the Guo family bid farewell to Jiang Anyi in front of the door, and Lao Wang drove Jiang Anyi home. In the stable carriage, Jiang Anyi happily touched the bulging package beside him, which was two hundred taels of silver, money was heroic courage, with this money, he didn't have to worry about his family, and he could go far away to study.
