Chapter Fifty-Six: The Prodigy of the Year Chance Creation
There is nothing new in the world, and it is normal to spoil the young son, especially the hope that the young son has been studying for several generations, but as a result, seventy percent of the family property is subsidized to Qin Chuan's father, and Qin Chuan's uncle only inherited the position and land of a hundred households, and the others got very little.
Unfairness will naturally breed resentment, and Qin Chuan's uncle became even more resentful after marrying, although he did not divide the family for the sake of face, but in fact it had already been divided, and only Qin Chuan's parents would support his grandparents.
The martial arts family of the guard is the eldest son, Qin Chuan's grandfather's practice is criticized a lot, and there are fewer people who are willing to help take care of it, the convenience benefits of the world official belong to the incumbent, Qin Chuan's uncle is not willing to share the profits with the family, Qin Chuan's father does not produce when he studies here, so the whole family is sitting on the mountain and consuming the family property.
Qin Chuan's father was famous for his intelligence, and he thought that he would soon become famous and improve his family's situation, but no one would have imagined that the road to the imperial examination would be so difficult, and Qin Chuan's father was still a child until he was in his forties......
In the process of studying hard in the cold window, the elders passed away, the family property was exhausted, the elder brother never cared about the resentment, Qin Chuan's parents' life became more and more difficult, fortunately at the age of forty-six, they were in a show, and the days finally did not go further difficult, but I didn't expect to see the light of day, but there were difficulties, and I got a serious illness two years after getting the show.
A year later, Qin Chuan's father died of illness, and after another half a year, Qin Chuan's mother also became ill from hard work, and died after struggling for half a year, leaving only Qin Chuan and his wife, who were less than 20 years old.
Qin Xiucai has been called a "prodigy" since he was a child, everyone thinks he has a bright future, although the Qin family has been dilapidated, there are still many decent people who can mention their relatives, and the reason is very simple, the first generation of martial arts children can become less successful, but the Qin family has a good talent, this generation has been impregnated since childhood, and has a suitable education, so the grasp is much greater, not to mention that it is still a "prodigy".
It's just that I didn't expect Qin Chuan to miss the two references, so that outsiders have a lot of cool words, and some people think that this person has to be in his forties to be successful, and Qin Chuan's wife is the second daughter of the local Zongqi family, and her family has a good background since she was a child, but she has suffered too much in the Qin family, and she couldn't hold on anymore after giving birth to Qin Qin, so she left the Qin family with the help of her family.
As soon as Mrs. left, the life of the Qin family was even more difficult, Qin Chuan had to study and take the children alone, not to mention that the serious illness of his parents had exhausted the lights at home, and he couldn't support it at all.
Both parents died, his wife left her young daughter to go out of school, poor and difficult, Qin Chuan had the idea of looking for a short-term vision at that time, but after three years of filial piety, he went to take the Xiucai exam, and he actually got a high name, which is very bitter.
“...... Outsiders say that she is not filial and cold, but I don't blame her, she married and wanted to enjoy happiness with me, but suffered a few years of sin, when I studied behind closed doors, she took care of her in-laws, the second elder was seriously ill one after another, she survived, and waited for Qin Qin to ......"
Hearing Qin Xiucai say this, Xiang Bo showed sympathy and indignation, Zhu Da knew what the master was thinking, but he felt that Qin Chuan's wife was too ruthless, but Zhu Da could understand that his family was not good, and he had to take care of the seriously ill elderly, so he was relieved and gave birth to a child, his eyes were full of hope, not everyone could persevere.
Zhu Da also knows what it means for his wife to take the initiative to go natural, although the woman is also criticized, but Qin Chuan must be extremely uncomfortable here, and the discussions and eyes of others will make him unable to raise his head, not to mention the difficulties and desperation of the death of his parents, the hopelessness of the imperial examination, the four walls of the family, and raising a young daughter, but Qin Xiucai, who recalled this, was very calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.
Zhu Da and Xiang Bo listened carefully, while Qin Qin on the side had already covered his mouth and yawned, while Zhou Qingyun continued to wreak havoc, a few plates in front of him were empty, and he was still thinking about a few that could not be reached.
Although he listened carefully, Zhu Da felt strange, the benefactor who saved his daughter should be thanked for coming to the door, but this Qin Xiucai inevitably said too much, and Xiang Bo should also be strange, otherwise he would not have seen it several times.
"If you're sleepy, let Sister Cheng take you to sleep, and what are you doing here?" Qin Xiucai doted on him, and said with a smile to Uncle Xiang: "Brother Xiang, if you are tired, go to the guest room to rest early!" ”
Xiang Bo was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, and pondered for a moment, and then said: "It's okay, this bastard boy is in good spirits, let him listen here." ”
Hearing this, Qin Xiucai nodded with a smile, took a sip of the tea that had cooled, and spoke again.
After being admitted to Xiucai, the situation of the Qin family has not improved, everything that should be sold has been sold out, and there are a lot of debts, the discounts and benefits brought by fame are a drop in the bucket, the only help is that the people who come to the door to ask for debts are polite, and they have to worry about supporting their families, Qin Qin, who has just passed the age of one, can't leave people for a moment, in this situation, there is no time to study, and it is difficult to even open a private school to supplement his own family.
“...... Qin's brother knew that I didn't want to ask someone to borrow money, and he also knew that I had to do this in the current situation, so I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds......"
The so-called best of both worlds is to invite Qin Xiucai to come to Yanzhan to do things, Datong here is heavy on martial arts and light on literature, there are few literate people, and even fewer are willing to go to Yanzhan and other semi-black and white businesses to do things, Qin Xiucai is still enough to be a clerical account room or the like, the salary is not low, and he asks someone to help take care of Qin Qin, and the treatment is quite good.
“...... Even Qin himself couldn't have imagined that the idle books he read that day and the useless knowledge he knew would actually be of great use here......"
This experience has been bitter and sweet, when Qin Xiucai talked about this, his eyebrows and eyes were full of energy, the reason why Qin Chuan, who was called a "prodigy" when he was young, did not pass the exam several times, not because he could not learn, but because his mind was not used in the scriptures, after all, the Qin family was born in the martial arts family of the Wei Institute, and by chance to study and study, he changed some history books and military books, Qin Chuan liked to read these books since he was a child, but he left behind the homework on the imperial examination.
“...... The book was sold by a thousand families, and the elders in the family couldn't read, and the family felt that reading was useless, so it was better to manage this job well, so it was sold cheaply, and it was bought by the father, Qin Mou could understand the cause and effect, even if the children of this martial arts family wanted to read, they also liked those related to martial arts, and after reading for a few generations, they realized that except for the scriptures and the current texts, everything else was useless......"
The Book of Books is the Four Books and Five Classics, and the Shiwen is a collection of eight articles of the Imperial Examination, only by looking at these can we ensure the success rate of the Imperial Examination and fame, and the others may be useful, but what is the point of not taking the test.
Zhu Da vaguely understood these related knowledge, Xiang Bo was full of ignorance, Zhou Qingyun was also confused, and the reactions of the three of them fell into Qin Xiucai's eyes, and he couldn't help but show a little surprise.
“...... Books are for fame and wealth, those history books and the art of war are seen through but they are of great use to practice and business, Qin's advice is right and wrong, but this business is getting better day by day......"
It didn't take long for his childhood friend to invite Qin Chuan to join the private salt business, which everyone knew but did not see the light of day, and at the beginning, his childhood playmate was unwilling to let Qin Chuan's reputation be damaged, but there were difficulties in the sale of private salt, and Qin Xiucai's strategy was so easy to use, and finally couldn't help but make an invitation.
“...... At that time, Lao Liu was still apprehensive, and said that I should not feel offended, and said that if I didn't agree, the brotherhood would not change, but I didn't expect Qin to agree immediately......"
The reason why Qin Xiucai agreed is very simple, he needs money and wants his daughter to live a better life, it's okay for people who are used to being poor, Qin Chuan's family was wealthy when he was a child, and he had a good life, because of this, he couldn't stand poverty, and he would not hesitate to seize the opportunity in front of him, and there was another point, which was interesting.
The word "interesting" came out, Xiang Bo's face was unhappy, and he couldn't bear to bow his head to cover up, for Xiang Bo, the private salt business is a life and death risk, and a pound of private salt on the official face is beheaded, and there are many bandits on the rivers and lakes, but in the eyes of the other party, it is "interesting", which is indeed unacceptable, but Zhu Da feels the same way.
Shengping Salt Stack is a serious business on the surface, Qin Xiucai is still separated by a layer, and Shengping Salt Stack's private salt business involves turf and fighting, Qin Xiucai read those history books and military books played a role, after winning one victory after another, the situation of Shengping Salt Stack is getting bigger and bigger, and he can apply what he has learned when he reads idle books, which makes him more interested in studying these things, and gradually has leisure and leisure.
However, the business of the salt stack has been stable for less than two years, and these days there has begun to be right and wrong, and it is a coincidence to say that the beacon smoke that has not been seen for more than ten years has ignited, and the private salt business has begun to have troubles, and the thieves intercepted and killed the salt dealers in various villages, and Qin Xiucai's daughter was kidnapped.
“...... This gang of thieves actually wrote a letter threatening Qin to hand over the details of the Shengping Salt Stack, and said that Qin would take his henchmen to take refuge, otherwise Qin's daughter's life would be difficult to ......"
Qin Xiucai didn't promise the other party, he had already planned for the worst, but he didn't expect that Zhu Da would send people back today, and it would be an unexpected happy ending.
In the process of Qin Xiucai's narration, the leftovers on the table have been removed, and someone has brought tea and snacks, except for Qin Xiucai, who is full of interest, only Zhu Da is very energetic and listens carefully and carefully, although Xiang Bo sits upright, anyone who knows him can detect the hidden impatience, and Zhou Qingyun yawns.
"Qin only cares about talking about his own family affairs, but he forgot to work hard for his brothers, I'm really sorry, a few of them go to wash and rest first, and we'll talk tomorrow." Qin Xiucai ended the conversation with a crisp and crisp one.
This crisp end made Zhu Da also inexplicable, I thought that after finishing speaking, he would make corresponding requests, who would have thought that he would send people to rest like this, but the initiative here is completely in the hands of the other party, and Xiang Bo did not raise any objections, and Zhu Da would not come out and refuse by himself.
The guest room has been cleaned up and tidy, everyone went to sleep on the kang after a simple wash, and before going to bed, Zhu Da couldn't help but ask, "Master, what does this Qin Xiucai want to do?" ”
"The old man can not teach you much, and it is your creation to meet this show." Xiang Bo answered the question.
