Chapter 8: A dilemma

The so-called knowledge changes fate, this sentence must not be the most touching people, but the ancients from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty, living in the political background of the gate.

Jiangnan Shengmen valve, there is still a deep gap between the scholar and the gate valve, and this gap is knowledge, monopolizing knowledge, is the most important means for the scholar to monopolize politics, so don't say that ordinary people, such as the Wu family, who actually control a county, is super strong, and at most it can be literate and hyphenation.

Although it is now unified, the Sui Dynasty implements a genuine Guanzhong-based political system, but this does not prevent the Jiangnan scholars from still covering their knowledge like a treasure, which is the so-called family learning, and because the Sui Dynasty basically implements the system of one country, two systems, the powerful are still in awe of knowledge.

It is no exaggeration to say that if there is a real opportunity to get a set of family education for the family, even if it is to let this room of people die for this, I am afraid they are willing.

It is precisely because of this that when Jiang Kun got up early in the morning the next day to pee, it was not worth making a fuss when he saw Wu Chen, who was respectfully waiting for them to get up outside the door.

As soon as he heard that it was the county order here, Jiang Kun was obviously a little at a loss, and hurriedly invited someone into the house to sit down, and woke up his father to get up to pick up the guests.

Su Goudan was completely useless at this time, and when he heard about the identity of the person who came, the whole person was scared as if he was stupid, he was quite clever on weekdays, and he couldn't speak, and his hands couldn't move.

Jiang Weidong looked as usual, just the right to show a flattered look, but in fact, his heart was as stable as an old dog, and he secretly admired Wu Zhen when he saw it, and he was a little more sure in his heart: The father and son not only have family education, I am afraid they have also seen the world, at least this Lingjun's identity is not much in his eyes.

In fact, it is indeed the case, before the three-year restructuring of the Great Cause, the counties in the south of the Yangtze River were planned very chaotic, and the serious twenty or thirty thousand households could plan three or four counties, to put it bluntly, it was just the division of territory by the powerful in various places, in fact, the county magistrate could not even talk about it, at most it was a township head, and there should be no shortage of respect and even fear, but to say that Jiang Weidong, who had been the chairman, told him how to do it in his heart, it was indeed nonsense.

"It's rude to have nothing to entertain your guests, I don't know ......if Ling Jun is coming to the cold house today?"

Wu Zhen said with a smile: "Yesterday, I heard from the second uncle that there are talented people in the county who have abandoned the wilderness, isn't this the sin of my county order?" As a county magistrate, he has the responsibility of selecting and appointing talents, so I came to visit Mr. ”

Jiang Weidong waved his hand again and again when he heard this: "Where is Lingjun talking, my father and son are just little merchants, they can't be Mr., let alone virtuous, it's my sin to condescend to Lingjun." ”

Wu Zhen laughed, pointed to the wall and said, "Little merchant, you can't write such magnificent words." Mr. is so bold in his poems, how can he still be humble at this time? ”

Jiang Weidong smiled and didn't speak again, seeing that in Wu Chen's eyes, he naturally acquiesced, but when he didn't pay attention, he quickly touched Jiang Kun's eyes, about the purpose of this person's trip, there were already seven or eight guesses in his heart, it was nothing more than a further personal test.

But in the face of this temptation, how to deal with it?

It is easy to put on the unfathomable beep, but the cowhide will always blow one day, and they are not really aristocratic families, and they will be exposed one day.

But the question is, if this beep is not pretended, what if the Wu family doesn't care about it directly?

The so-called rat trap is basically like this.

It is still Jiang Kun who boils water and cooks tea, and it is not difficult to say that such a small county order is stunned by the knowledge of the two, in the face of all kinds of temptations, neither of them shows the mountain and watertight support in the past, and a few words from time to time will shock him to the north can not be found, but an hour has passed, and Ling Jun did not ask what the origin and feet of the two people are, if they ask directly, people will say that they are pure mountain and wild horses, this kind of nonsense is afraid that even ghosts do not believe it.

However, although he didn't understand it, the knowledge of the father and son was not fake, Wu Zhen was almost certain that the father and son were at least from the county wang family, and they had already been passed on by their scholars, otherwise it would be impossible to have such knowledge, at least many times higher than the few county wang children he had seen, and he gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"I heard my uncle say, Mr. father and son have no identity, but they are quite high, and they are not willing to accept the favor of my Wu family, although the burrow is noble, but after all, it is still colder, seeing that it is winter, living here for a long time, it is too inconvenient, there is a way in this order, but you can kill two birds with one stone."

"Oh? Let's hear it. ”

Wu Zhen smiled and said, "Dare to ask Mr., Mrs. Ling is ...... now"

Jiang Weidong sighed in his heart after hearing this, but he could only reply: "Clumsy Jing Fu Bo, he died of illness when his family changed." ”

"I see, Mr. pulls his son to grow up alone, and it is also hard for Mr., but although Mr. is virtuous and capable, I am afraid that this kitchen stove thing is not enough, right? As the saying goes, I'd rather be an official father, not reluctant to beg for food, there is no woman in the family, I'm afraid that life is inconvenient, I don't know if there is the idea of continuation? ”

With a snap, Jiang Kun, who was serving on the side, was shocked and hit a rough tea bowl, and Jiang Weidong was also a little stunned for a while.

Is this to introduce him to a daughter-in-law?

"There is a niece in this order, twenty-eight years old, the appearance is still handsome, and the female red knitting is also one of the best in the county, and her temperament is also gentle, and she admires a learned person like Mr. the most.

Jiang Weidong sneered: "Ling Jun said that he laughed, Jiang's family is surrounded by four walls, and he doesn't even know whether he can support such a son or not, how can he be worthy of the daughter of the Wu Mansion?" Ling Jun, you don't want me to be rich. ”

"Absolutely not! To be able to marry such a highly knowledgeable talent as Mr. is my niece Gao Pancai, how dare I let Mr. get involved? My Wu family is willing to give out 200 acres of fertile land, 300 silk cloths, 40 cattle, horses and livestock, as a dowry, all by Mr. Flowers, Mr. and my Wu family is just an in-law relationship that's all, in the future, just plough and read heirlooms. ”

Jiang Weidong was helpless, his mind changed sharply, and he quickly sorted out the ins and outs, but he didn't know how to deal with it for a while.

Obviously, the Wu family regarded him as a certain down-and-out clan, which was not surprising, and for the heroes of this era, he also knew what the knowledge in the mind of a down-and-out clan represented.

I have to say that the Wu family has made a bloody investment, this dowry is really not light, and it seems that there is no intention of annexing his little chicken feathers for sugar business, but as long as he nods, then they will be relatives in the future, and it will become a family matter to steal the knowledge in the minds of their father and son. It's a good calculation.

Promise them or not?

To be honest, Jiang Weidong values his inconspicuous candy gang business more in his heart, but he doesn't value it so much, but if the two families really get married, he Jiang Weidong's power is not a vassal of their Wu family.

Besides, both of them are traversers, and the secrets on their bodies are gone, and if an outsider is placed around them, I am afraid that they will have to be careful even talking in their dreams, and it will inevitably be inconvenient to do things.

But don't agree?

If you don't agree, will the Wu family give up? Who knows what the next move will be? Now agree, everyone can still save face, if they really tear their faces, things won't look so good, and if they don't agree to such conditions, will the Wu family be suspicious? After all, the two of them are not real scholars, and they have never admitted it in person.

"The stakes are so high that you let me think about it for two days, how about it?"

"Okay, then I'll wait for Mr. Liang's good news."
