There are hundreds of people in the Donghai Huangfu family, and there is a strict hierarchy between the concubines, and it can be seen from their residences that the shape of the mansion looks down from a height, it is an irregular circle, and the circles are all houses, just like a big Chinese cabbage, and the children live in the cabbage leaves and cabbage sticks on the periphery, and the children live in the cabbage core inside.

Huangfu Weiming is a little better, according to the classification of the fifth uncle, he belongs to the lineage, so he lives next to the cabbage core, is a small single courtyard, there are three and a half houses, half is the kitchen, a guest hall, a bedroom, and a small study, a family of four lives here, relying on Huangfu Weiming's teaching salary of two taels of silver per month, but the family also has a subsidy of five hundred dollars and five buckets of rice, although the life is poor, but it is barely passable.

Huangfu Weiming's heart was extremely relieved, the brother who used to be like a fool seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted: "Xinlan! Look who's coming. ”

I saw a young woman come out of the kitchen, although she was dressed plainly, dressed in a cloth skirt, but she looked very delicate, quite a lady's temperament, she was the sister-in-law of Wujin, named Qi Xinlan, born in a scholarly family, her father was the master of Weiming, and was a famous Confucian in Huaiyang County.

Qi Xinlan had seen Wujin seven years ago, she thought about it and smiled: "This seems to be Wujin!" ”

"It's my brother!"

Huangfu Weiming slapped his head and laughed, "By the way, I forgot, you didn't pass the door at that time." ”

He introduced Wujin again, "This is your sister-in-law." ”

Wu Jin hurriedly stepped forward and bowed, "Wu Jin see sister-in-law!" ”

Qi Xinlan saw that Wujin looked like a talent, knowledgeable and courteous, and was not as stupid as others said, she liked it in her heart, and hurriedly greeted with a smile, "Come into the house and sit down, I'll fry two more dishes for your brother, and warm a pot of wine." ”

"Sister-in-law, don't be so troublesome."

Huangfu Weiming waved his hand, "Hey! It's not a hassle, it's supposed to be, come in and sit down. ”

He handed the kite to his wife and asked her, "What about Luo Luo and Duoduo?" I should have left school early! ”

"I heard that Luo Luo was naughty and was fined by Mr. for writing three hundred, and it is estimated that Duoduo is helping him write together!"

Wu Jin on the side heard a little strangely, "Aren't they in the eldest brother's school?" ”

"They study in the family's elementary school, and I teach all the older children in their teens, so if they don't get together, let's go into the house!"

The two entered the house, Wu Jin saw that although the tables and chairs in the room were a little old, they were spotless and very clean, Huangfu Weiming asked him to sit down, and poured him a cup of tea, then sat down and asked him with a smile: "Tell me, what have you been doing in the past few years?" ”

Wu Jin had already thought of his words, so he smiled, "Big brother should know that I have been studying art from my teacher, and after the master died, I stayed in the mountains to learn art, and later went to the sea." ”

When Huangfu Weiming heard that his brother ran away from the sea, he couldn't help frowning, and asked him again: "Then what are your plans to come back this time, I can tell my grandfather and let him give you an errand, and you will stay in the family." ”

Wu Jin had only been in this empire for half a year, and he was full of curiosity about everything, he didn't want to tie himself up so quickly, so he shook his head, "Let's talk about it!" I haven't been back to my hometown for so many years, and many people have forgotten about it, so I'll talk about it when I reminisce about the past. ”

Speaking of this, Wu Jin asked Weiming in a low voice: "The fifth uncle said that the eldest brother would be in trouble, and that gentleman threatened the eldest brother again, you tell me, what is going on?" ”

Huangfu Weiming took a sip of tea and was about to speak, when suddenly the immature voices of two children sounded in the courtyard, and I only heard a little girl's complaint, "Mother, it was my brother who was punished by Mr., and I helped him write." ”

Another little boy hurriedly distinguished for himself, "Mother, it was Mr. who took the homework I wrote to wipe the poop, so he insisted that I didn't write it, and punished me for writing it three times, it was Mr. who was wrong." ”

"Luo Luo!"

In the room, Huangfu Weiming slapped the table, his face sank, "How dare you say that Mr. is wrong!" ”

The courtyard was suddenly silent, and Wu Jin wanted to see his nephew and niece, so he hurriedly smiled and said, "Big brother, let them come in quickly, I want to see." ”

"Alright! Spare him for the time being, otherwise I will teach this stinky boy a lesson without a master. ”

"Spare you two today, come in! Your uncle is here. ”

Hearing that their father had spared them, the two little ones cheered and ran into the house, and when they saw that their uncle was tall and big, they could not help but be a little frightened, and took two steps back.

Wu Jin saw that the two little guys were carved in pink and jade, extremely cute, and liked it very much, so he hurriedly took out two sea pearls, put them in the palm of his hand, and handed them to his brothers and sisters with a smile, "This is the uncle to give you a meeting gift, is it good?" ”

The two little guys saw that the sea pearl was full of crystal and very beautiful, and they were all moved, so they timidly stepped forward to pick it up, but Huangfu Weiming snorted, "What have you forgotten?" ”

Only then did the brother and sister react, knelt down together, and kowtowed to Wujin three times, "Luo Luo and Duoduo give their uncle a salute." ”

"Huh! What a good boy. ”

Wu Jin hurriedly pulled his nephew and niece up, hugged him in his arms, stuffed Haizhu to them, and said with a smile: "Do you like it?" ”

"Hmmm! Like. The two little ones nodded like chickens eating rice.

At this time, Qi Xinlan came in with two dishes and smiled at their brothers and sisters: "Daddy bought your kites back, and it's in the kitchen." ”

The brother and sister cheered and ran to the kitchen together, and soon found the kite, and the brother and sister shouted impatiently: "Daddy, we want to fly a kite!" ”

"No way!"

Qi Xinlan hurriedly stopped them: "No, I'll eat right away, and I'll put it tomorrow." ”

"Let's go and leave it for a while, and I'll be back soon, mother, please."

Huangfu Weiming smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Go and let it sit for a while and be back right away. ”

The brother and sister cheered, and ran out of the yard with a kite, Qi Xinlan complained a little to her husband, "Look at you, promise them everything." ”

Huangfu Weiming smiled and waved his hand, "You go to the hot bar!" I'll say a few more words to Wu Jin. ”

When his wife left, Huangfu Weiming continued the topic just now and said slowly: "Originally, I have been very peaceful, but last month I was admitted to the Gongju Shi, more than 800 people in the county went to Jiangning Mansion to participate in the state examination, I took the first place, only seven people in the entire Donghai County were examined, I won a great honor for the family, and the admission to the Gongju Shi means that I am eligible to enter Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, I was going to enter Beijing to participate in the provincial examination, but some changes occurred in the officialdom of Donghai County a few months ago, which affected my plan. ”

"What's going on?" Wu Jin remembered Su Thorn's appointment, does it have anything to do with him?

Huangfu Weiming took a sip of tea and said: "The former assassin was transferred away and took away two henchmen, I heard that during this time, the officialdom of Donghai County has been fighting openly and secretly for the candidates of these two principals, among which the chief of Xingcao is in Zhao Sima's bag, no one can fight with him, and the other head of Hu Cao is different, Xu Changshi, Huangfu Don't drive, Zhang Xianling are all fighting behind the back, and finally the three of them reached a compromise, and the head of Hu Cao was recruited from the six major families of Donghai County, and each of the six families recommended one candidate, Our Huangfu family can also recommend a place, my grandfather wanted me to go, but the second uncle wanted his son to go, that is, the gentleman just now, the second uncle is the patriarch heir, and he can't afford to offend him, so I can only give up, I still go to Beijing to participate in the provincial examination. ”

"Wu Jin, you have to persuade your eldest brother!"

Qi Xinlan came in with a pot of wine, and said to Wu Jin: "I have calculated for your eldest brother, the monthly salary of Hu Cao's chief is ten taels of silver, which is five times that of the current one, not to mention the private benefits, and the status is much higher than that of him, a poor teacher, he entered Beijing to take the exam, and he may not be able to pass the exam, and this good opportunity will be gone at that time, you tell me, he doesn't know what he is thinking?" ”

"What do you know?"

Huangfu Weiming reprimanded his wife unhappily, and Wu Jin hurriedly smiled and played a round, "I know that the eldest brother actually doesn't want to offend the second uncle, but this is only an alternate place, and it is not a formal appointment. ”

"That's it! Weiming, look at how well your brother said, this is the case, there is only one chance, you are a tribute scholar, it is natural to enter the county government as an official, what is he, he can't even be a showman, why should people give it to him. ”

"Hey! Why wouldn't I? Forget it, let's not talk about this matter for now, let's talk about it later! ”

Huangfu Weiming sighed, he knew that this was actually a high-ranking official above who wanted to take the opportunity to make money from the six major families, how could the second uncle give him this money?

．．．．．．．．．．

The second uncle of the Wujin brothers is called Huangfu Xu, who is the actual ruler of the Huangfu family in the East China Sea, he is the son of the main house, according to the family rules, he will take over the position of patriarch in the future, in fact, his father three years ago, that is, the current patriarch suffered a stroke and was bedridden, except that the position of patriarch was not handed over to him, other powers were basically given to him.

But since the beginning of this year, as his father's health gradually improved, he took back most of the power of the family, which made Huangfu Xu secretly dissatisfied, but there was nothing to be done, a few days ago their backstage Huangfu Qu sent someone to deliver a letter, he won a candidate for the Huangfu family to be the head of the household, the sixth Cao chief is the preparatory department for entering the official stream, especially the chief officer of the household, generally after a year or two can be promoted to the master of the nine products, that is the official stream, if his son can be selected, maybe he will be able to enter the official career.

Huangfu Qu is the other driver of Donghai County, and the other driver has no real power, just an official position that symbolizes the surname, which is equivalent to the chairman of the CPPCC in later generations, and this person's title is the Duke of Chuyang County, so the people of Donghai County call him the Duke of Huangfu County, and he is also the backstage of the Huangfu family in the East China Sea.

Of course, Huang Fuxu knew that the six major families were fighting for the main affairs of this household, in fact, they were fighting for the financial resources of each family, the Huangfu family had the financial resources, and the Huangfu Qu was the backer, so it may not be impossible to be selected, but the father wanted the eldest brother's son Weiming to run for this position, not his son, which made Huang Fuxu's heart very dissatisfied.

Huangfu Xu is about fifty years old, tall and thin, shrewd and capable, he has two sons, the eldest son Zhuoqi is an official in the field, the second son Zhuoyu lives with him, both sons are born to his ex-wife, and both are married, after Huangfu Xu's ex-wife died of illness, he married a young and beautiful woman for the continuation.

The family lived in a large single courtyard covering an area of about five acres, with more than 20 rooms in the courtyard and a back garden.

At this time, Huangfu Xu sat in the lobby, listening to the cry of the second daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law's surname is Jia, and she is also the daughter of a large family in Huaiyang County, and his family is right, a year ago and the second son Zhuoyu just got married, but the son has never stopped, the reason is that Zhuoyu has the bad habit of sleeping in the willows, and spends money in the Qinglou Courtyard, and the money in the family is only in and out for him, so the people in the house use the nickname of the golden-eyed Pixiu to ridicule him.

But starting this year, after his father regained power in the family, Huang Fuxu cut off his source of money in order to restrain his son, but he became obsessed with Ruyi Lou's top name Chu Yulian this month, and the meat gold and the gold were even more profligate, he had no money, so he began to steal his wife's private jewelry, and was finally discovered by his wife yesterday, and after persuading her husband to no avail, his wife ran to cry to her father-in-law.

"The gold and silver jewelry I married was worth at least 5,000 taels of silver, but in just one month, he stole it all, and he himself admitted that it was given to the prostitute, but I still want to leave it to my child, and now it is all stolen by him, how can I explain it to my parents! I beg my father-in-law to make the decision for me! ”

The daughter-in-law knelt on the ground, her eyes were swollen like peaches, Huang Fuxu was upset, hated iron and steel, so he had to comfort his daughter-in-law, "Don't cry, I will definitely make the decision for you today and clean up this beast." ”

As soon as the words fell, he saw his son Zhuoyu walking past the door.
