Fan's mother didn't eat the dog meat, but took Fan Jin to Jiashou's house to eat. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Fan Da and the people he brought were eating there fragrantly, and when they saw Fan coming in, they were busy getting out of the way. Mother Fan saluted a few people first, and then said to Fan Changyou, the head of Xiao Fan Zhuangjia:

"Uncle Fifteen, Jin Tsai went to the county today, Meng Xianzun took the test in person, and the grandfather was very satisfied with Jin Tsai, so he let him go to the provincial capital to study early, so as not to miss the examination date. For the sake of our Fan family, Jin'er offended Mr. Hong, what kind of person he is, we know in our hearts. Go to the city early, so as not to be manipulated by the Hong family when you rush to take the exam. ”

Since the crossing, Fan Jin and Fan Changyou have dealt with him a few times, relying on the identity of a scholar and the knowledge of later generations, although it will not be shocked, the head of the first will kneel, but it is not difficult to convince the head of the first to himself. Especially at Fan Jin's suggestion, after Xiao Fanzhuang really took advantage of him a few times, he regarded him as a prodigy, otherwise he would not have given Liang Pandi severance pay because of Fan Jin's words. This time to reset the social fire, Fan Changyou had a better opinion of Fan Jin, and when he heard Fan's mother's words, he slapped the table:

"That's right, the Hong family has always been domineering, this time we are ruining his business, they don't know what bad tricks to use. It's better to go to the provincial capital, no matter how bold they are, they don't dare to make trouble in the provincial capital, right? Go, you should go, tomorrow arrange for two offspring to accompany Jinzi together, if they dare to make trouble, they will fight with them! ”

"There's no need to go together, my son is going to study and make a name for himself, where can I fight? It's just that the provincial city is not as good as the family, and you have to make money everywhere, and the fifteenth uncle is the first one, so you can't watch Jin Zai go to the provincial town to drink the northwest wind, right? ”

Fan Changyou slapped his forehead with his hand, "Look at my brain, and wait for me." ”

He turned and went back into the house, and after a short time he came out with some broken silver in his hands, and put it on the table, and found a little scale to weigh again.

"These three taels or four coins of silver are the minister's money in our village, and they were originally prepared to pay taxes. But it's a big deal to get into the boy to catch the exam, so it's better to use it first. ”

Fan Dadao: "Uncle, of course it's a big deal to catch the exam. When the brother is promoted, all the fields in our village will be invested in the name of the brother, and there will be no need to pay taxes and serve, just waiting for a good life. Therefore, we have to provide for our brother, let him be lifted early, and our whole village will be blessed. When the time comes, we will add our rent to the Hong family, but we have to see what kind of virtue they are. ”

He said to Fan Jin again: "I heard that this year, someone from the Hong family also went to take the county exam, that is, the grandson of Hong Chengen's old goods, what is Hong Dagui, a famous loser." Just him, still want to be my son-in-law? Lao Tzu's daughter would rather marry a pig and a dog than marry him. You take the test well, and when the time comes, when you win the fame, my brother will give you a few miles of firecrackers, and let the Hong family take a look, our Fan family, there are capable people! ”

The gang shouted and celebrated, and Fan Jin and his mother only ate before saying goodbye and going home. Sister Hu has returned to her home, and there are only two mother and son left in the Fan family. Fan's mother pulled Fan Jin to kowtow to his father's tablet, and found the copper coins left by Fan Jin and his last two pieces of jewelry.

These two pieces of jewelry are all wrapped in red cloth, and even the cloth belt jewelry is a little old, and there are already a few blackened places on the silver jewelry. Holding these two worthless old pieces of jewelry, Fan's mother's hand couldn't help trembling, as if she wanted to keep it, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and pushed the jewelry in front of Fan Jin:

"This jewelry was given by your father when my mother and your father got married. My mother kept it as a thought, but now I can't take care of it. The cost of the provincial city is large, and if you are alone in the city, don't grieve yourself, eat whatever you want, and don't let yourself suffer. But remember not to show your wealth, and do not let anyone know that you have money, lest you have evil intentions. Also, prepare for the exam with peace of mind, don't make inappropriate friends, especially the black widow, and don't associate with her much. This woman's life is too hard, and there must be no good thing next to her. ”

"Mother, my son knows what to expect, you just have to rest assured. You still keep this money, and your son will go home after passing the county exam, so he won't need this lot of money. ”

"If you don't need it, you can save it, and after the county test, it is the government test and then the hospital test, and you have to take the test in the provincial capital, how can you do it if you are not prepared? Besides, if you are a talented student, you will have to study in the county school, and in the future, you are afraid that you will have to live in the provincial capital for a long time, so how can you prepare more silver. ”

Fan's mother looked at her son, her eyes were full of approval, and she couldn't help but chatter, "I said a long time ago that my son's hand should only hold a pen, not a plow." The Fan family has been a farmer in the field for several lifetimes, and you can live in the provincial city in this life, which is all blessed by your ancestors. My mother is waiting for you to one day, to be the master of the people, and to take my mother to the provincial capital to enjoy happiness. When the time comes, I will marry the daughter of a good family and be your wife, and my mother will have the face to see your father when she comes below. As long as you can win, it doesn't matter how hard your mother is. Don't be distracted by things at home, just study with peace of mind, no matter how difficult it is. By the way, remember one more thing, don't have too much contact with the Hu family. The eldest sister's child is good...... But he doesn't deserve to be a reader. ”

Hongjiazhuang, Hong Chengen's home. In the Hong family clan, several important figures are drinking together. The Hong family, who was in charge of the year in the torture room, rushed back from Guangzhou City, and was recounting the failure of the plan to the elders of the Yigan clan.

"Da Ling sent his entourage to go through the formalities for Fan Jin and find a guarantor, but we really can't do it, so we have to let him make up his name, and even my favor is in vain. But it's nothing, and passing the county exam is not necessarily a good thing. ”

Hong Chengen hurriedly said: "What do you say? If the Fan family really shows off their talents, let's try to handle him again, but it's not easy. ”

"After the county test, there are also government tests and road tests, and it's still far from Xiucai. Taishou and Da Ling are not in harmony, and most of the people he likes can't get through when they get to the government test. If Da Ling dares to order Fan Jin to be the head of the case...... That's a good thing. ”

"Didn't you say that the county test was the first place, and the government test must be passed?"

"That's usual, but that's not the case in Guangzhou, the head of the big order, when you get to Taishou, most of them can't get by. Besides, the great master is now in Guangzhou, he is the same year as Taishou, and the two have a lot of friendship. According to my opinion, when the county exam comes, the great grandmaster may go to the invigilator temporarily, and I think how the big order will protect Fan Jin? ”

Hong Guannian said proudly, and ate a few sips of wine. "In fact, right now, there is a great wealth in front of us. Luo Shanman made trouble again, I heard that this time there was a lot of trouble, and Lin Afeng made a fuss at sea again. Yin Junmen was on fire, and he wanted to transfer a large number of Zhejiang soldiers to Guangdong, and eighty percent of them wanted to fight a big battle. ”

Hong Chengen asked, "What does this have to do with us?" ”

"Why doesn't it matter? Although we ordinary people don't need to go into battle to kill the enemy, but with so many soldiers fighting, what do we want? As long as we force the poor ghosts below, prepare a sum of money and food, and pull a group of masters, we are afraid that we will not be able to change the prisoners for our family when the time comes? When we have a prisoner in our family, what kind of thing is it? ”

Hong Chengen nodded and said, "That's right!" I don't want to force the poor ghosts, but I want to pick up the big and small Fanzhuang and let them know who is the heaven of this Jinsha Township! If you miss the money and food masters of the military gate, you have to see how they die! ”
