Chapter 35: Awesome!
(Ask for Sanjiang tickets, ask for recommended tickets!!) )-
In the Song Dynasty, there was a custom of fingertips for marriage and betrothal marriage, and people with the right family always liked to use this seemingly romantic method to decide on the marriage of their children more than ten years later.
Chen Ke scoffed at this, imagine that more than ten years later, if the other party's doll grows into a scoundrel, or has a bad disease, or the family is poor and frozen, or mourning clothes one after another, or has already moved far away, isn't this a pit for his own children?
And that's exactly what happened. In the states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty, there were definitely not a few people who got married early that year, and later were dissatisfied with their in-laws, so they broke their promises, turned against each other, and even hit the government...... Of course, this is also related to the Song Dynasty's very tolerant attitude towards divorce, since couples can get together and disperse well, it is not so disgraceful to hurry up to the precipice while the raw rice is not yet cooked.
However, the social climate of tolerance for divorce does not reduce the pain of divorced families, who are often seen as disliked losers, which is a serious blow to reputation.

After Erlang said this, Chen Ke remembered: "But last month, the guy who came to our house, who was arrogant and used his nostrils to people?" ”
"Exactly." Chen Chen nodded and said: "I used to see Uncle Ma was still very kind, but the last time I saw our family with four walls and no shelter from the rain, I didn't smile at all, and I saw that my father didn't go to the exam, and he left without eating." ”
"Obviously disgusted with us." Seeing that it wasn't he who stabbed his father, the big stone in Chen Ke's heart fell to the ground, and said with a smile: "It's understandable, the girl is the meat of my father's heart, of course I can't push it into the fire pit." ”
"You can think about it." Chen Chen sighed and said: "But this incident is too hard for my father, I guess he must have felt something when he saw this room full of new things just now." ”
"Hmm." Chen Ke nodded, and said with a grin: "Man, shame and courage, you can become a great weapon!" ”
"You're atmospheric." Chen Chen glared at him and said, "What do you think about the divorce?" ”
"This is the luck of our family, there is a day when they regret their intestines," Chen Ke smiled coldly: "I'm not cooking ducks with hard mouths, but expounding a fact." ”
"Yes, such a family that hates the poor and loves the rich will definitely not be able to raise a virtuous daughter!" Chen Chen was infected by the arrogance of the third brother, and also nodded heavily: "And our Chen family will not continue to be down, there will always be a day when the clouds will rise!" ”
"Well said!" Chen Ke stretched out his fist and said: "If you don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath, we also have to give strength!" After studying exegesis, he learned that the word 'giving power' was actually an ancient saying, which was first seen in the Book of Wei.
"Well, it's going to be powerful!" Chen Chen nodded heavily, reaching out and squeezing his fist vigorously.
"......" Gorou didn't say a word, and also clenched the fists of the two elder brothers.
"I want it too, I want ......it too," Rokuro stood on his chair and hung his body on his brother's arms.
At the door of the house, afraid that the children would be worried, Chen Xiliang had already turned back, and when he heard the children's words, he smiled, not a forced smile pretended, but a smile from the heart, he retracted his steps and turned around to go out again, not wanting his sons to see the tears in his eyes.
If you have a son like this, what more can you ask for!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Since that day, the Chen family father and son have really been different. The four brothers are a lot more self-conscious in their studies, and even Gorou and Rokuro, who don't like to work hard, don't need to be supervised. Not to mention Erlang and Saburo, who were already working very hard.
Chen Xiliang no longer gave up easily, he picked up the book again, no matter how busy and tired he was every day, he would read at night with the lamp at night, and he didn't fall asleep until the early hours of the morning. Of course, he was able to earn a living and have the energy to study, because in the process of working for the government, his extraordinary ability and diligent attitude, he was deeply aware of the appreciation of the county lords, and after the summer grain collection was over, he was invited to the county government to be a counselor.
In the Song Dynasty, the imperial court generally set up four to five pro-people officials in large counties, such as magistrates, county officials, chief registers, and county lieutenants, while small counties only placed one or two members. However, in a county, the collection of financial endowments, the trial of prison lawsuits, the education of public security, the relief of disasters and injuries, and so on, are complicated, and they are far from being able to do the work of the third or fifth administrative officials.
Like Qingshen County, except for the magistrate, there is only one chief official who is an official, so he naturally needs the assistance of a large number of officials to complete the various missions given by the imperial court.
The officials of the Song Dynasty were divided into assistant secretaries, hand divisions, records, etc., which were called officials; and those driven by officials, such as prisons, officials, city guards, etc., are called public officials. According to the regulations of the Taizu period, the households of Qingshen County can be placed with 15 officials and 30 public officials, and the imperial court will pay salaries.
However, in addition to the regular quota, the magistrate will also recruit some supernumerary servants on his own as needed, among which those who undertake the affairs of writing and arithmetic are called 'post divisions'. These servants were of a lower status than the 'officials', and the state did not pay their salaries, but were financed by the local government itself. However, if there is a vacancy in the 'official', he can be promoted to 'official' in order and become a full-fledged state employee.
In the county, it is not easy to find a scholar who can write and calculate, and after the magistrate found out that Chen Xiliang was a rare talent, he invited him to come to the house to serve as a secretary, and promised that once there was a shortage of officials, he would definitely give priority to making up for it.
Chen Xiliang will naturally seriously consider the invitation of the Great Order, in addition to being very busy at the beginning and end of the month, this errand is usually quite leisurely, and he can also have time to study. But what made him uncertain was that he could only get three times a month, of course...... The public has always been in charge of food, housing, and clothing.
3,000 yuan a month, less than half of his work at the dock, and the family is spending money, and it is really impossible to make ends meet. Just when he was uncertain, Cai Chuanfu's arrival dispelled his concerns.
It was the second day of the eighth month, and he was not at home when Chuanfu came, but Chuanfu was not looking for him, but his family's San Lang......
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In August and autumn, the heat subsides and the west wind rises.
Chen Ke and Liulang had already put on their jackets, and only Heigoro was strong, still shirtless, sweating like rain in the yard, 'snorting' and lifting a pair of twenty-pound stone locks.
Hearing the sound of the door, he threw the stone lock to the ground, and when he opened the door, he saw that it was Chuanfu, who had not come for a few days.
Although he is already a successful man, Chuanfu still said with a sincere smile: "Uncle Shi, is my master here?" ”
Gorou nodded, took the big bag and small bag in his hand, took Chuanfu to the door of the east house, and said angrily: "Third brother, Brother Chuanfu is here." ”
"Well, let's go to the North House and sit down first." Chen Ke's voice came from inside. During his breaks, as long as he is not exercising in the yard, he hides in this house and tinkers. Even Chuanfu knew that the East House was now dedicated to Saburo and was exempted from entry, so he waited obediently outside.
After a while, the door opened, San Lang came out with two jars, saw Chuanfu, and grinned: "Why do you have time to come here today?" ”
"The restaurant settled the account and sent the master money." Chuanfu grinned.
"It's been a month since it opened." Chen Ke handed the wine jar to Chuanfu and said, "Come into the house and sit, I'll wash my hands." ”
After a while, the master and apprentice sat down at the table, and Chuan Fu noticed the inside and outside of the house, and said in surprise: "Master, when did the house become new inside and out?" ”
"I changed the ...... a few days ago" Chen Ke opened a jar of orange wine and poured it for Chuanfu. It's not that he replaced it with wine because he didn't have tea at home, but he didn't love the way he drank tea in the Song Dynasty...... He once watched Chen Xi light a tea spot with curiosity, and found that the people of the Song Dynasty wanted to make tea into porridge noodles, and it was superior to form a 'cold porridge noodles'. Once you taste it, you can hardly taste the fragrance of tea, and your mouth is full of rich spices. It seems that foreign devils are not self-created, but copied the current habit of drinking tea......
In fact, he didn't know that the tea cake used by Chen Xiliang to make tea that time was half a piece of high-quality goods given by the magistrate, and ordinary people couldn't afford to add spices to tea, but it was no different from the tea of later generations. It's just this misunderstanding that caused him not to drink tea for several years, until he met the girl who really understood tea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hearing that it was Carpenter Pan who changed the Chen family, Chuanfu said with a depressed face: "Alas, I was expecting to make money, so let's change the master's family, but I didn't expect to be robbed by that guy." ”
"It's okay, you just need to cash it out." Chen Ke took a sip of orange wine and said slowly.
"Poof......" Chuanfu almost squirted the wine in his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Master, you are teasing me again." ”
"Don't waste my wine, it's been made with great difficulty." Chen Ke took another sip and said with an intoxicated expression: "Not bad, not bad, there is no raw taste when I drank it last time." ”
"Well, it's so delicious, the master really brewed the orange wine." Chuanfu said with admiration: "It's amazing! "After staying with Chen Ke for a long time, you will naturally learn his strange words.
"Less sycophants." Having said that, Chen Ke couldn't hide his slight smugness: "Let's talk about it, how much did you earn last month?" ”
"Guess what?" Chuanfu blinked.
"Hey, come with me." Chen Ke asked, "Twenty runs?" ”
"Guess again." Chuanfu said with a smile: "Guess more." ”
"Thirty runs?" Chen Ke really didn't know much about the business of the restaurant, he went there in the first few days, and since then he has been studying at home and being an otaku.
"Too little!" Chuan Fu said: "Add one more." ”
"Forty?"
"No, it's one hundred and thirty!" Chuanfu finally couldn't help it, stretched out ten stubby fingers, and said loudly: "Master, we made 130,000 yuan last month!" It's a net profit! ”
"Damn, this is too powerful!" Chen Ke was dizzy and said: "Slow down, slow down, I need to be calm and calm." ”
