Do you want to ask the Xu family in Taipingli to become a real famous family?

For Xu, this is an undoubted question. In officialdom, the result of a person single-handedly is always to hit his head and bleed, so there is a township party and the same year. Compared with the friendship formed in the name of a teacher because of the same meeting and palace examination, the township party is much more reliable. However, more important than the love of the country, if there are more than one person in the family, it means that the family has the potential to become a famous family. But to really become a famous family, it is not a generation, but the unremitting efforts of several generations, which is much more difficult than those hereditary nobles.

Today's Taipingli Xu family is at least 108,000 miles away from the famous family!

Although he knew the reality, Xu Zhen still couldn't help but feel excited, and only after fixing his mind did he smile bitterly: "You asked this!" I am a descendant of the Xu family in Taipingli, and naturally I also expect the glory of the ancestors' family, but this is not easy, as the long house of the clan and not to mention, it is the other families, although there are also some children who may be able to make materials, but now the fourth brother who has become the patriarch is still fair, but his strength is limited, and he is not a bold ......"

"I've lived in Taiping for so many years, and I know what you said." Xu Xun bluntly interrupted Xu Xun's words, and said with blazing eyes, "Sixth Uncle only said that he wanted to, or didn't want to!" ”

was stared at by the young Xu Xun, Xu Xun couldn't help but feel a little shocked. After a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "I want to, I want to dream about it!" ”

"Good!" Xu Xun smiled with satisfaction, and then said lightly, "Reading is a long-term thing, the Xu family in Taiping is now three or four talents, although there are people to teach the school, but it is just a routine story, otherwise there will be no one who has read for a lifetime and is still a student." In the past, the long house was in charge of the sacrifice in front of the patriarch, but he never knew how to persuade him to read and learn, and he only knew that he would work the crooked and evil ways, and this kind of sect would be defeated if it fell! From now on, the rules that should be established will be established. For example, for the family to invite famous teachers, all the children of the Xu family are enrolled for free, the family produces a showman, and the clan produces thirty taels of silver every year. ”

"Huh?"

Seeing that Xu Yu gasped all of a sudden, Xu Xun said lightly: "Of course, there are not always rewards but no punishments. When you are a show, there are scientific examinations every year, and only the first and second class can go to the township examination, and the fifth and sixth classes can be studied according to the board, and the year's offering will be halved, and the second year will be such a ranking, so don't want that offering. Those who have been wandering in the third and fourth classes are not qualified to take the township test, and the same is true for three consecutive times. As for those who have been selected in the examination, if they have been unsuccessful, if they are interested, I can recommend them to various places for trial work......

Listening to Xu Xun's list of many items one by one, Xu Xun finally understood the deep meaning of Xu Xun's words at this moment, and after thinking for a while, he asked cautiously: "Although the sacrificial field in the clan was collected from the long house, it is far from enough to make up for these expenses, what does the uncle mean......"

"Build a public account, and I'll do the big thing." Xu Xun spit out four simple words, and seeing that Xu Yu was not much surprised, he smiled faintly, "After all, I can have today, and thanks to Second Master Xu, I can still get this money." Of course, it's not just that there is no return for paying, and when they really enter the palace, they also have to squeeze out the silver from the money every year to put it into this account. I think about it, this account will be managed by you, Sixth Uncle. If the Xu family in Taipingli thinks that I will come forward for this matter, what is wrong......"

"No, no, no, how can there be anything wrong, such a good thing, the whole clan will only rejoice!" ..., those power struggles far away in the capital, Xu Xun can only see the flowers in the fog even if he cares, at this moment in his opinion, Xu Xun, who is deeply favored by the little emperor, has been made an earl, which can be said to be as stable as Mount Tai. What's more, even the patriarch Xu Si heard that Xu Xun had tactfully said to him when he went to Nanjing, if he could go and see if he could move people with his old feelings. He was weak at first, for fear that Xu Xun would be obsessed with the old things, but he was just vague and perfunctory at that time, and now listening to Xu Xun's words, don't mention the joy in his heart.

"In that case, I'll go back and talk to the fourth brother and settle everything as soon as possible!"

Xu Xun was quite satisfied with Xu Xun's quick response. It is said that Xing'anbo's department also has a lot of side branches, but his father Xu Liang is quite estranged from these people, and he is not familiar with it, even if he wants to carry one or two, he has to look at it slowly, but it is not as cheap as Xu Yi, who knows the times and knows how to advance and retreat, not to mention that he knows that Xu Bian has some problems. And the most important thing for him to do this is not to envelop the declining family of the Xu family in Taipingli, or to wait for this family to produce any talents, but for another reason.

Now that he has dissected the serious matter, he asked about the second son of Xu Yuan's family. When he asked, Xu Yi immediately hit the snake with the stick, and immediately ordered Mao Ying to call everyone over.

Xu Xun's eldest son, Xu Zheng, is eighteen years old this year, and he is seven points similar to Xu Xun, but after all, he has no experience, and when he came in, he was stunned when he saw Xu Xun, and when he recognized someone, he was stunned, and even forgot to call someone.

For the person who only called the seventh brother when he met in the past, but now he has become a genuine nobleman, he can't help but feel strange in his heart. In contrast, the twelve-year-old Xu Bo was different, as soon as he came in, he blurted out Seventh Brother, and then asked with a bright face: "When did Seventh Brother come back from the capital, what about Seventh Sister-in-law?" ”

"Eleven Lang!"

Xu Yu was afraid that Xu Xun would be unhappy, so he drank Xu Bo sternly. However, Xu Xun was not only not annoyed, but also beckoned Xu Bo over, and asked with a smile: "We haven't seen each other a few times before, does Shiyi Lang still remember me?" ”

"Why haven't you seen it a few times? When my father was promoted, he held a banquet in Kuiyuan Building to celebrate, and I saw Brother Qi; At that time, my father once kept the seventh brother to eat at home, and asked me to accompany the sixth brother, and I also met the seventh brother; And ......" Xu Bo tilted his head and thought for a while, then his eyes lit up and said, "And you gave the house to our family to live in at that time, didn't your father deliberately see you off at home, you also gave me and the sixth brother a fan!" ”

Xu Xun was dumbfounded by what he said. Thinking that Xu Bo was only ten years old at that time, he deliberately asked again: "I haven't seen him for two years, and Eleven Lang is so sure that he didn't recognize anyone?" ”

"I won't admit my mistake, Brother Seven, the expression between your eyebrows is the same as back then, I remember it clearly...... That kind of self-confidence that others can't learn! Dad also once sighed to me and the sixth brother, the seventh brother was so bold at the beginning, no wonder he was able to win the battle like last year! What I admire most is Seventh Brother's courage......"

"Eleven Lang, you give me a place to live.!"

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Xun knew that he had come suddenly, even if Xu Xun had instructed his two sons, it would be impossible for him to teach such words, otherwise Xu Xun, who was the elder brother, would not be a little embarrassed to stand next to him. At this time, he laughed, and said to Xu Zhen, who was full of annoyance: "Sixth uncle, your judgment is reasonable, I am a bold person." It's just that Eleven Lang's temper is only afraid in the clan study, even if he reads well, the teacher doesn't say it in person, and he can't help but complain behind his back, right? ”

"This kid never forgets, the clan exams are often excellent, but his unobstructed temper, and the gentleman who often can't get off the stage, he doesn't get into trouble, it's really my negligence." Xu Zhen only hated himself for not letting Mao Ying tell Xu Bo carefully, so that this kid could even reveal his private words, and he was quite embarrassed for a while, and hurriedly apologized, "Uncle doesn't remember the villain, don't take his words to heart!" Xu Xun smiled slightly, and when he saw Xu Bo, who had just been stared at by his father, he pouted, raised his head and peeked at him, and he said to Xu Xun: "Children have no mouth, it's not a big deal." But with such a temperament, the gentleman in the ethnology is afraid that he can't do anything about him. If Uncle Sixth is willing, I have a good place to recommend him. ”

Xu Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "What's the best place to go?" ”

"Presumably the sixth uncle has heard that Xu Jing, a person from Jiangyin, was able to return his fame this time. Jiangyin Xu is a famous scholarly family, the family of 10,000 volumes of books is very rich, Xu Jing is now home to study hard, preparing for the next year's examination. The Xu family also set up a school in Jiangyin, but it was famous in the four townships. If you can, let Eleven Lang go there to study for a few years. When he goes out alone, he can not only increase his knowledge, but also hone his character. Xu Jing looks at my face, and people will also take care of him and disturb him. ”

Xu Xun thought that Xu Xun was going to bring Xu Bo to the capital, but when he heard that Xu Xun was going to let Xu Bo go to Jiangyin to study, he was a little caught off guard. After the initial disappointment, he had to think about it carefully, and finally raised his head with a heart: "It's okay, this kid should also take care of his temperament." ”

Xu Bo had wanted to interject for a long time, but when he heard that his father had really agreed, his eyes lit up for a while, and he immediately bowed down to Xu Xun and said deeply: "Thank you, Seventh Brother...... - I heard that it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, thanks to the blessing of Seventh Brother, now I finally have a chance!" “

Compared with Xu Bo's eccentricity, Xu Zao's performance was much more silent. When Xu Zhen sent his two sons out, Xu Xun smiled and said, "I only hope that after Shiyi Lang arrives in Jiangyin, he will thank me!" Jiangyin is a place full of talents, and the Xu family is a famous family of poetry and books.

If the road of the imperial examination is so easy, a famous talent like Xu Jing and Tang Yin will not return again and again. ”

Xu Xun himself is a person who has fallen into the first place twice, so while he deeply agrees with Xu Xun's words, he also understands that Xu Xun sent Xu Bo to Jiangyin with a lot of painstaking efforts, and naturally he is very grateful. However, when Xu Xun had been left for dinner, and then sent people out of the door, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, even if the Xu family wants to produce a jinshi in Taipingli, it will take at least ten years to leave, but I am afraid that your expenses in the first few years will ......."

"It's okay, some things are just going to take the day, and some things are not going to take the day." Xu Xun smiled at Xu Zhen, and then waved his hand and said, "Sixth Uncle just go and take care of what I said, although I have recognized my ancestors and returned to my ancestors, at least, I can't write two Xu characters in one stroke." ”。 ）
