Chapter 53
The rain was too heavy, and although Guan Qing and Gu Bai were also holding an umbrella for Fan Jin, when he returned to the courtyard, he was still drenched in soup. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info waited in the room, Guan Qing and Gu Bai were busy changing clothes for Fan Jin, Liang Pandi bought hot water from the water shop to warm up Fan Jin, and Sister Hu ran to the kitchen, preparing to boil pork bone soup for Fan Jin to eat.
Seeing that the situation was not quite right, Liu hurriedly ran to the kitchen and asked in a low voice, "How do you think Jin Zi came back listless, did you quarrel?" ”
Sister Hu lowered her head and refused to speak, and was busy cooking soup by herself, Liu Shifu asked again: "You kid, why don't you make a sound?" I'm almost your mother-in-law, so I have to prevent you from suffering, right? Men have to be coaxed, especially if he is a talented man in the future, maybe he can still be promoted, you can't lose your temper with him, is it because of Liang Pandi's quarrel? Actually, it doesn't matter if the two of them have something to do, Liang Pandi is old, even if he has a look, it is a matter of the past few years. When you are old and relaxed, you will naturally not be able to compete with you. The first thing at the moment is to stand firm on your own feet, as long as you occupy the seat in the main room and don't let her enter the door, even if she and Fan Jinming cover the night, you just can't see it, wait for a few years, I don't think Fan Jin will even look at her. ”
Sister Hu was busy for a long time, and when she saw that she still refused to leave, she suddenly put down the work in her hand, glared at Liu, and said, "You give me out!" I don't have to worry about my brother and Jin'er's affairs. ”
In the room, when Fan Jin drank hot soup and warmed up a little, Liang Pandi said, "This shouldn't be?" You are the head of the South China Sea case, didn't you say that you can pass the test with your eyes closed? Why can't Tao Jianzhi record you? I turned around and asked my brother-in-law if I could send some money to tie up the lower joints. In this military food business, my sister earned a few taels of silver, plus her savings......"
Fan Jin shook his head and said, "It's useless, don't waste your efforts." Tao Jianzhi is a well-known Qing official, who is nicknamed Xiao Hairui, and he can't get into the water if he can't get a needle stick, that is, he said that he wouldn't record me, even if he finds out who goes, it won't be used. It's me who thinks things too simply...... Tao Tietou, he is more stubborn than I thought. ”
Although I have heard of Tao Jianzhi's strength in the countryside, I have never dealt with it personally, and my understanding of this strength is still separated by a layer after all. I thought it was just a simple struggle for power in the county and too much interference in the affairs of the county, but I didn't expect that Tao Jianzhi had already regarded Guangzhou as his own one-third of an acre, and any behavior that dared to disobey his authority would be regarded by him as a challenge to himself, and even treated as an enemy.
Even against the governor of Guangdong, he will not back down, as long as his authority is violated, he will fight to the end. From the perspective of the magistrates, the levy was carried out for the purpose of using force, and it was a completely harmful move to the people. The victory of the war was Yin Zhengmao's benefit, but the resentment of the people was borne by the magistrates.
From the beginning, Tao Jianzhi didn't want to complete the target. Of course, official affairs cannot be carried hard, what he is preparing is to use a procrastination to force Yin Zhengmao to withdraw his order and avoid the additional levy on Guangzhou. However, the silver folding method in the South China Sea made his plan fail, and now it has become difficult to ride a tiger. Either he has to use the silver folding method, or he is old and incompetent, but he is not as capable as his subordinates.
This resounding slap fell on the face, Tao Jianzhi thought that he was really angry, and this anger couldn't burn the head of the county commander Hou Shouyong for a while, so he took Fan Jin as a knife sacrifice. In order to maintain his own dignity, even the rules of officialdom can be broken, and it can be seen that Mrs. Tao is indeed in ruins, and she is quite desperate.
"If no one in the whole of Guangzhou completes the tax, Tao Jianzhi's responsibility is not too big, but it can be said that Yin Zhengmao is too much and does not care about the people's livelihood. After all, no matter how great his authority is, there are also patrols and imperial history checks and balances, and it is not his turn to cover the sky with one hand. However, the situation is different now, Nanhai, as the largest county in Guangzhou, has a large jurisdiction and complicated affairs, and even Nanhai can do good errands, so what reason is there for other counties in Guangzhou not to be able to complete it. When other counties also used the silver folding method, Tao Jianzhi's hard work turned into flowing water. It's no wonder that he hates me, I just didn't expect him to hate me so much, and he refused to hire me even if he tried to slander Shilin. ”
"You are not a talented child, if you can let Yifu Taishou lose your future for your fame, I won't lose face."
"The face may not suffer, but the loss of the inside will be great."
"That's not necessarily, your fame is equivalent to helping Hou Shouyong to be dismissed, Hou County's order has a little popularity, and there will be a supplement. Our Nanhai County is big, and there is a chance to make a fortune, as long as you take care of it a little, you won't have to worry about food and clothing. Although it can't be expensive at the moment, you can get rich first, and the grain business alone is enough for you to eat and drink well, and honor your aunt. ”
Fan Jin said: "I don't worry much about my livelihood, relying on my ability, I can always support myself." But he didn't admit me in this department, and the hindrance to me was not something that gold and silver could make up for. Unless...... It was the third sister who changed her mind first and changed her words. ”
When he said this, his hand grabbed Liang Pandi's hand again, Liang Pandi suddenly said that he was still talking about lifting people, his face was slightly red, and when his wrist was flipped, he had already gotten rid of Fan Jin's grasp. Pointing to the kitchen with your hand,
"Let the eldest sister see it carefully. She is a good girl, even if she doesn't marry, she has to find a way to do things well, and she can't break her heart. Again...... What did you say, could it be that if you don't pass this subject, you won't take the exam? Even if Tao Jianzhi is in the position for a day, you won't be able to pass the house test, but he is old, you are still a young child, is it possible that you can't survive him? He can only work in this prefect for a few years, or move or die, can't you continue to study? Have you forgotten what you told me? There will be no seeds, and the daughter should be self-reliant. Even our women's family has to be self-reliant, and you have to give up on yourself as a big man? ”
was picked up by Liang Pandi, Fan Jin laughed instead, and the frustration when he was kicked out of the examination room was swept away. "What you said is right, I read my book by myself, if I don't take this subject, I don't believe it, and the surname Tao can still ruin my reputation for a lifetime."
When Liang Pandi saw that he was back to normal, he let go of his hanging heart, touched Fan Jin's wet hair and said, "You can think like this, my sister is very happy." As long as you have this ambition, you will definitely be able to live a personal life. Sister sells dog meat, and it can also provide you with education, even if you are admitted to the age of fifty, your sister will also provide for you. ”
Fan Jin smiled: "At that time, I am an old man, even if I win, what is the use?" ”
"Why didn't it work? In my eyes, you are the little hairy man, no matter what time it is. Besides, my sister has confidence in you, just a show of talent and fame, how can it be difficult to live in the boy, I don't believe that you can't pass the exam, sister believes, in a few years, you will definitely be able to be the master, sister will wait for you, even if it is a lifetime. ”
By the afternoon, Liu had already known about Fan Jinfu's failure, but he didn't care. "What should I be, what's this? It's just a show of fame, and I have seen a lot of poor shows in the county that only have pork to eat when they sacrifice Ding, and the poor sour people beat their heads for a few pieces of cold pork, which is not much better than splashing skin. With Jinzai's ability, he can make a fortune in anything, even if he is a lawyer, he must be the best one. Besides, he still has a teacher, go to the county yamen, and find the county to explain it clearly, I don't believe it, Master Hou has no explanation for Jinzai! ”
