"People are in good spirits when they are happy, and their eyebrows are flying and their dancing spirits are high. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Township Trial Autumn Gang posted a list, and my name is ...... above"

Fan Zhuang, inside the Fan house. "Good news for the old man of your mansion, Fan Zhenjin, the second place in the high school Guangdong Township Examination, and the Beijing Daily even debuted on the Yellow Armor." The big red newspaper was posted on the front of Fan's house.

Like the house of Yipinxiang, after Fan Jinzhongju, the gatehouse of Fan's family was also smashed, and then redecorated again, more magnificent than the original, and there are already workers at the entrance of the village who are preparing to repair the archway. Lifting people in Jinsha Township is already a desirable existence, and the current business of the Fan family is actually relying on Fan Jin's face to do, and it is especially careful to repair this archway. The apportionment of funds by the whole township, regardless of the cost of work, in order to make the bigger and more magnificent, the better, for Fan Zhuang, it is also a great honor.

Fan Jin paced in the room, singing in a low voice, and the joy between his eyebrows could not be concealed.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, it has been nearly ten days since the township test and the subsequent Luming banquet to worship the teacher, and his days in his hometown will not be too long.

In the end, he was still one step away from Xie Yuan, and the reason for this step was later found out, Chaozhou Lin Mengchu did twenty-three questions alone on the first day of the exam, and he was the only one in this subject who read through the Five Classics. Xie Yuan actually has nothing to say about such a person, as far as Fan Jin himself is concerned, if he is an examiner, he will also do this, after all, the gap in the article is there, there is nothing to say.

In the volume of the second scene, Lin Mengchu's arguments and writing are also extremely high, and what is inferior to himself is the judgment part. For example, he thinks that the rich lady should marry the son, because this is a marriage that his father has agreed to, and from the perspective of maintaining etiquette and social stability, the agreement must be implemented. didn't know that this was a case that already objectively existed, and it was Ling Yunyi who approved the verdict. This attitude of his is actually contrary to the Governor, and he will certainly not be welcomed.

For Lin Mengchu, there is nothing to blame, after all, he is a scholar who has never been in practice, and he is lacking in directors, which is not a great shortcoming. What's more, judging from his resume, he may not be willing to be a magistrate. Zhongjinshi, elected as a Shujishi to enter the Hanlin Academy, Qingliuhua selection is his ideal plan, and how to judge this link will not affect him.

Rao is like this, this Xie Yuan still caused some waves at the top of Guangdong. Although Ling Yunyi did not publicly express his position at the Luming Banquet, he was lukewarm to Lin Mengchu, reminding him to guard against arrogance and rashness, not to be complacent because of temporary results, the examination is the final occasion to test students, and pull the second Yakui Fan Jin to teach earnestly, treating him as a son and nephew, and the tendency is already obvious.

Fortunately, the township test is a fixed job with its own process after all, writing a preface, worshipping the master, worshipping the master, everything is as usual, it will not be affected because of the attitude of the governor, and there will be no sequelae in public opinion. Although Sa Shizhong and others lost money in gambling on Xie Yuan, they were rich and did not take it seriously, so they still wrapped up red sleeves, called Fan Jin to eat and drink, and held a running water banquet for a few days.

Chen Wang finally succeeded in the township examination in this township examination, and fulfilled Sister Lan'er's wish, her nature is lazy and will not go to the Jinshi exam again, but relying on the title of lifting people, it is enough to be self-sufficient. Sister Lan, who was entertained by the red sleeves, also contributed part of the money herself, and of course she was also thanking Fan Jin for her intentions.

Next, when I went to Beijing to take the exam, Guangzhou and my hometown all needed the support and help of these relationships. Although the Battle of Luoshan ended, there was Lin Haishan's line, and while reselling goods, he sold grain, salt and iron, and the two had a relationship of interests, and the cooperation would only be closer.

When everything was arranged in Guangzhou, Fan Jin took Liang Pandi and Sister Hu back to their hometown to bid farewell to their mother. In the past two days, the guests at home have also been coming and going, and many old friends Fan Jin has never seen before, close to the senior brothers who lead pigs and sheep, come to congratulate, and with it, a sum of extra wealth.

"A tiled house in Guangzhou City...... I know this house, the location is good, but the house is not good, and the aunt has to rebuild it if she wants to live in it. Fortunately, we have money now, and it doesn't matter if we rebuild it. ”

"Two southern stores are in the name of the master...... I've heard of this shop, and it's doing well. ”

"One hundred and thirty acres of land in the west of the village...... Eldest sister, I have to ask you what the situation is. Liang Pandi pulled the abacus beads, beat the abacus on the mountain, and while carrying the pen like flying, he wrote on the account book that the Fan family had entered during this time.

Although Fan's mother still doesn't like Liang Pandi, but Fan Jin has won the lift, and he will follow him if he messes around. Besides, compared to the woman in the Qing Building, Liang Pandi is only older, so he knows the roots. Fan Jin also said that the young master of a large family actually has a big girl in the room, who has taken care of food and drink since childhood, and immediately accepts the house as soon as the knowledge is opened, and he is much older than the master, which is called the decency of a rich and noble family.

Since his son has been lifted, he must be right to speak, thinking that he has become a member of a rich family, he has to learn how to catch up with fashion. In addition to smoking hookah, Fan's mother also has to try to accept this big girl, no matter how awkward she is, she will always be perfunctory on the surface, and the mode of getting along with her is barely okay.

When it comes to settling accounts, Fan's mother is actually not good, and as the Fan family's business grows bigger and bigger, how to control this industry and prevent the outflow of their own wealth is a problem. As a woman from a poor background, Fan's mother naturally will not tolerate someone putting her own harvest rent into her pocket, she needs a qualified housekeeper and a bookkeeper, it seems that the Liang family is not bad?

Seeing that her backer's attitude towards Liang Pandi was gradually improving, Sister Hu felt a huge crisis, and hurriedly said at this time: "I know I know, I know, it is the field of the first family of Jia, and I can't fight that idea." ”

Fan Mu smiled: "Why can't you?" My son is now a lifter, and Fanzhuang's fields are all mine, so why can't I? ”

Since Fan Jin was lifted, the entire Fanzhuang and even Jinsha Township were boiling, and the first thing everyone did was to donate soil. In fact, the preferential exemption quota for lifting people and showing talents is the same, both are 80 acres of land, and the second Ding is served. But the person has the qualification to be an official, belongs to the official reserve, and the county order can be called a brother, in order to maintain the dignity of the official, no one will check how many fields there are, how many are there.

Anyone who votes under the door of the people and turns his status into a servant will disappear from the yellow and white albums of the imperial court, and he will no longer need to bear many names and errands. It is because the common people would rather their children not be able to take the imperial examination, and they themselves will become slaves from free men, bear higher taxes than the government rent, and also surrender themselves to the scholars, that is, they will avoid service.

Jinsha has no people, and now the whole township has to store resources under Fan Jin's name, hoping to avoid forced labor These days, there are not many people who send fields and people to send stores. Some people tidied up their daughters and sent them to Fan's house, saying that they were serving the old lady. can look at the woman's appearance, most of them want to take advantage of the fact that Mr. Fan has never entered Beijing, and first conceive the Fan family's blood to raise her identity.

For Fan's mother, in half of her life, there has never been such a majestic and happy moment. One by one, the head of the armor and even the patriarch bowed his head in front of him and said good things, in the past, he could kill people for a piece of land, but now he begged to be his own tenant. Including Changle Township, they all began to send the land to Fan Jin's name and donate it across counties, which made Fan's mother feel that the whole person had become brisk, as if a cloud was carrying itself and was gradually rising.

"Mother, you can ask for this field, but you also have to pay taxes." Fan Jin walked in from outside, gave a salute first, and then filled his mother with cigarettes. Sister Hu hurriedly said: "This is the work that women should do, you are a big man, you can't do it." ”

"There's nothing I can't do, when I enter Beijing to take the Jinshi exam, it's not easy to pretend to be a cigarette. I'll pretend first, and then you'll pretend. He looked at his mother and smiled,

"Mother, I know that you have been very happy recently, in fact, my son is also very happy. After all, there is face in the township, and everyone has to look at our faces to speak, and such a day is life. But my mother also has to think about it, why is the army so good to me? When the village provided me with education, it was for me to be a spearhead and fight for the village. The reuse of the army is the same as to make the head of the gun and charge for him, and there is actually no difference between the two. ”

"There are countless staff around the army, and there are many people who can do things, but what my son can do is not too much, and the most useful thing is actually to implement a whip law. Some people give me gifts, but others want to seek a future and find ways to find shortcomings. If our family has a field but we don't pay rent, this is a flaw. If you get into the government, your son's future will be ruined, and when the time comes, not only will your edict be frustrated, but even the archway will be demolished. ”

Fan Mu said: "The edict is a trivial matter, but you ...... Losing your future? Aren't all people in the world doing this? ”

"Others can, but my son can't, who let me look at me too much? So the rules have to be changed, the son is not saying that things can't be accepted, don't accept offending people, and don't say that there is no face, so it doesn't matter if you send it, just don't cross the county. Like Changle's field, it can't be harvested, otherwise it will be very troublesome. As for the fields of the local township, they shall be collected and the taxes to be paid shall also be paid. Fortunately, there is a whip law now, and those who pay the money do not have to go to service, and we don't have much money in the entire Jinsha Township, so let the third sister go to the yamen to pay it when the year comes. There are also relatives in the village, and it is not good to worship as slaves under my door, and these people are poor in strength, and we have also paid them, and they should be bought for righteousness. These people still have to be tenants for our family, and they can't lose much in exchange for the grain they have brought down. ”

Fan Mu shook her head and said, "That's too cheap for them." Planting our land, we still have to pay them money for rent? Isn't this field a money-losing thing? ”

Fan Jin smiled, "Mother, this little bit of land loss is not worth anything, and our family does not count on the field, but on this." He made a black gauze look with his hand on his head, "When my son has this, will our family be short of money?" Even now, with Yipinxiang and his son running this business, there are not a few items in our village every year, and there will be no money to use. ”

Mother Fan sighed, "Mother is so old, how many days do you have to live?" Besides, how much people eat and how much they use, they are all cultivated in their previous lives, and no one can take an extra bite. Even if I have bird's nest shark fin every day, how many days can I eat it? Gold and silver are just external objects. I want to buy an estate for you and your descendants and grandchildren, you know how poor we were at the beginning, and in the future you will marry a wife and have children, and your sons will have to marry, all of which will cost gold and silver. Mother wants to leave you an iron-clad family business, is there anything more stable than Tian in this world? But you want to pay the tax, my mother really doesn't understand. This business is yours, just toss it, my mother doesn't care. Eldest sister, help me back to my room. ”

When Fan's mother returned to the bedroom, Liang Pandi pinched Fan Jin's arm, "How did you do it?" Stay at home for a few days, and make your aunt unhappy? ”

"I can't help it, I'm going to be unhappy for once. Being an official is indispensable to offend people, and I am a person, you know, and it is easy to attract hatred. When the time comes, people can't handle me, so they will mess with my family. If you don't know how to check and run amok against the law, it's easy to be caught. I'll start with the old lady first, the old lady takes the lead, and the others know that I will cover the family, but there will be a limit, beyond this limit, I will hack this to death first. ”

Liang Pandi also knew that what Fan Jin said was reasonable, and hesitated for a while before saying, "You...... It's time to get married. If there is a lady with the ability and family to sit here, the clansmen below will not dare to mess around. We, wild women with no name, can't control anyone. Let's get married......"

"I've been married, lady." Fan Jin said and took Liang Pandi's hand and stroked her silver ring. Liang Pandi's face turned red and he whispered, "Death." But he couldn't help but laugh out loud.

At this moment, the courtyard door was knocked again, and when the door was opened, I saw Hu Butcher walking in with Yang Liu and Hu Erdi, Yang Liu went to the inner house to worship Fan's mother, but Hu Butcher pulled his son to kneel down in front of Fan Jin, and shouted: "The villain Hu Sanqi brought Hu Er to meet the master's house!" ”

Fan Jin hurriedly pulled up the father and son and asked, "Uncle Hu, what are you making trouble about?" Is there no money to make? ”

"Where did the master go? The villain is here to worship his master. Please see, the villain has asked Zhiwen Gongzi to write the paperwork, the Hu family of four, voluntarily joined the Fan Mansion as a slave, in the future, my family is the slave of the master's family, the master wants to be a tribe, how to tribal, dare not say more. Come, come and say goodbye to me. ”

In the past few days, there are many people who want to be slaves in the Fan family, and there are also some who have handed over the deed, but like the identity of Hu Butcher, Fan Jin has always regarded him as an elder who does not recruit himself very much, and he never thought that he would devote himself to being a slave, not to mention that depending on his meaning, he still has to live in the Fan family, and he is unclear for a while. Just listen to Hu Butcher:

"The master has traveled thousands of miles to the capital, and no one can take care of him. The dog Hu Er has a few catties of strength, he can carry a bookcase for Fan Gongzi, carry the luggage, and he is not afraid of any hardship. As for the little old man, it is not difficult to buy an errand in the house, my daughter can sleep for the master, my family is old and young, from today onwards, I will be loyal to the main family, please accept us! ”
