Chapter 80: Human Nature
Sun Jinru, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli are all from relatively solid families, and their parents are all squires in Guli Town, of course, compared with the scholar family, there is still a certain gap, Zheng Fugui was just a squire, not enough to step into the ranks of the scholar family, in the eyes of the common people, or in the eyes of the scholar class, at least need to be a person who is a person and an official in the government to be able to step into the scholar class, those prisoners, or students, did not enter the government as an official, but can only be regarded as a local squire.
There was still a hierarchical distinction between the squire and the scholar, and the scholar was more respected.
Zheng Xunrui became the Xie Yuan of the Nanzhili Township Test, and the Zheng family has stepped into the ranks of the scholar family, which is undoubted, so Sun Jinru, Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli The attitude of the three people also began to change, after Zheng Xunrui was lifted, they came to celebrate, this time Zheng Jinhong and Yuhuan got married, and they also came.
No matter who the family is, after the girl marries out, she must be based on her in-laws' family, and she must be filial to the elderly, otherwise she will violate the rules of the seven, which will be divorced by her mother-in-law, kicked out of the house, and criticized by everyone.
But one thing is very clear, the greater the power of the mother's family, the higher the status of the girl in the in-law's family, this is an iron law, everyone understands, sometimes even if the daughter-in-law does something that makes the father-in-law angry, if the daughter-in-law's status is very high, they do not dare to divorce the daughter-in-law, and in this case, the daughter-in-law is often able to call the shots in the mother-in-law's family.
Zheng Lingli, Zheng Yuhua and Zheng Xiaoling have been married, the in-laws are not very far from their mother's home, Zheng Fugui's status can be average, and their status in the mother-in-law's family can only be average, since Zheng Xunrui County tried to become the head of the case, the Zheng family's maize and sweet potato seed business began to flourish, the status of the three in the mother-in-law's family has changed a lot, the father-in-law and mother-in-law are smiling faces, and they are also very attentive to their words, and then Zheng Xunrui Township tried high school and became Nanzhili Township to try to solve the yuan, the status of the three is higher.
This time, Zheng Jinhong and Yuhuan got married, and the three of them decided to go to their parents' house to have a look, and their father-in-law and mother-in-law not only did not object, but also prepared gifts for their son and daughter-in-law to bring.
A person who has won the Tao chicken dog ascends to heaven, this truth is particularly popular in the south, those who read, once the title of the gold list, enter the imperial court as an official, the status of relatives and friends quickly changes.
Sun Jinru and the other three people don't have a lot of contact with each other, after all, they have their own families, and the three of them didn't have the same views on Zheng Xunrui before, when Sun Jinru married Zheng Lingli, Zheng Xunrui was not yet three years old, he was completely a child, when Zhao Danyu married Zheng Yuhua, Zheng Xunrui was already six years old and barely knew some things, and when Liang Xingli married Zheng Xiaoling, Zheng Xunrui was eleven years old and basically understood things.
As for Zheng Xunrui's reputation for a period of time, the three of them also heard that when Liang Xingli married Zheng Xiaoling, they even had such feelings, feeling that Zheng Xunrui was too favored at home.
But more than two years ago, Zheng Xunrui suddenly changed, causing Guli Town to shake again and again.
The three of them have gradually become clear about Zheng Xunrui, it should be said that they didn't see Zheng Xunrui much before, and it's a big deal to be able to meet during the Spring Festival every year, anyway, there is not much place to ask each other.
The three of them are not very useful in reading, no matter how hard they work, they can't even pass the county exam, so far, Sun Jinru has given up, Zhao Danyu will make the last or two efforts, Liang Xingli is younger, and he is still studying diligently, looking forward to being able to pass the county exam.
There is also talent for reading, look at Zheng Xunrui, at the age of sixteen, he is already Xie Yuan of the Nanzhili Township Test, where can they compare, seeing such a situation, Zhao Danyu almost has no hope.
After eating, the three of them sat and chatted in the side room, which had a stove and was very warm, and there was no one else in the room.
The three of them had to stay here for at least one night before they were too embarrassed to leave the next day.
When Zheng Xunrui came in, the three of them stood up at the same time, all with smiles on their faces.
Zheng Xunrui also after eating, thinking about finding a place to be quiet, the front yard is definitely not good, many guests are sitting and chatting, only come to the middle courtyard, as for going back to the bedroom, it is not true, today's situation, lotus leaf and Yang Aizhen two little girls have seen it, at the moment I am afraid that I am chatting in the bedroom, if I go, I will not be asked dizzy, even if it is good, so I can only see if there is a place in a few wings.
I didn't expect to see three brothers-in-law when I came in.
He basically has no impression of the three brothers-in-law, and he can't be blamed for this, Zheng Xunrui, who has disappeared, has not left any information at all, it seems that the melee boy has no impression of the three brothers-in-law.
"The eldest brother-in-law, the second brother-in-law, the third brother-in-law, I didn't expect you to be chatting here."
"Yes, I just had dinner, and the front yard is very noisy, so come here and sit down, Qingyang do it quickly, see that you are also tired today, sit down and have a good fire."
Sun Jinru was older, so he pulled over a chair and asked Zheng Xunrui to sit down.
"It's been two days since you came back, and I've been very busy, and I haven't had time to accompany you."
"Qingyang, don't say that, your second brother-in-law, third brother-in-law and I are back, and we haven't done anything, I'm embarrassed, I see you busy, why do I want you to accompany me."
"Oh, I heard that my eldest brother-in-law is not going to take the county exam, so I don't know what my plans are in the future."
Sun Jinru's face changed slightly, he was still thinking of finding his father-in-law, but he didn't expect Zheng Xunrui to take the initiative to bring it up, which made him a little impressed.
"Alas, I just didn't think of anything to do, this study is not promising, and farming is not good, I'm still in a hurry."
"So that's the case, the family is going to open a shop in Jiangning County, specializing in maize and sweet potato seeds, and now I have contacted a good place, after the New Year, I want to go to the capital, and my younger brother is also going to the county to study, preparing for the county exam next year, there is really no one at home to take charge of the store, if the eldest brother-in-law has time, consider going to the store pù to help, what do you think."
"Okay, okay, so that your eldest sister can also follow you to the store, help with cooking or something, and hire a few fewer guys."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Sun Jinru, feeling a little strange, according to the businessman's business, ordinary people are unwilling to do it, why Sun Jinru agreed to come down so quickly, in fact, he didn't know, maize and sweet potato seeds are very popular, as long as you get the store pù, it will be sold out in a short time, and there is nothing left, there is a shop pù in the county, Sun Jinru can also stay in the county all the time, and there is a monthly salary, why not be happy.
"Since that's the case, I'll tell my father when I go back, and my father will tell you the rules, you don't need to do anything specific when you go to the store, you can just greet the guys in the store, and the eldest sister will follow you to the store, and you don't need to cook, you can hire someone to cook on weekdays, although the store pù is specialized in seeds, but in your spare time, you can also do some other business, these incomes will not be asked by the family, they all belong to you, as for the expenses of the store, they are all out of the family."
"Oh, how embarrassing is this, if your eldest sister is doing business with me and has income, she still has to pay some store expenses."
"The eldest brother-in-law doesn't have to be polite, the family doesn't speak two words, and the family can still get this bit of silver."
Sun Jinru smiled and nodded, he couldn't imagine that he could meet such a good thing.
Zheng Xunrui looked at Zhao Danyu and Liang Xingli, whose faces changed slightly, and spoke again.
"The second brother-in-law and the third brother-in-law are going to participate in next year's county exam, you have time to communicate more with Kaihua, Kaihua will participate in the county exam for the first time next year, I may not be at home, please take care of it."
"That's no problem, Qingyang, don't worry, your third brother-in-law and I will definitely be able to do a good job."
"Well, this time when you leave, each of you will go to the stable, and each of you will choose an Arabian horse, but I would like to remind you that feeding Arabian horses is very laborious and requires a lot of expenses, if you feel that you can afford it, then take one away, if you find it unbearable, do not be reckless."
The three of them stood up at the same time, an Arabian horse, if it is purchased in the horse market of Jiangning County, it will cost at least more than ninety taels of silver, this is a huge wealth, how can the three of them not want it.
Especially Sun Jinru, after going to the county seat of Jiangning County to do things, it is not very convenient to go back and forth to home, with an Arab horse, all problems have been solved, and the time to ride an Arab horse to the county seat is at most half an hour.
After chatting for a while, Zheng Xunrui stood up and left, leaving the three of them behind.
"Big brother, you made money this time, and you went to the county seat to run a shop, and you have silver every month."
"Shan Yu, don't be discouraged, as long as you and Xingli can help Kaihua pass the county exam, Qingyang will definitely find something for you to do, besides, you are different from me, I have no hope, and I don't want to participate in the county exam, you still have hope, work hard, really pass the exam, Qingyang will definitely be able to directly help you in the future."
"Big brother, don't say it, Qingyang is really refreshing, between his words and gestures, the momentum is not ordinary, I feel it, if you want to say that Qingyang will definitely be a big official in the future."
"Then it goes without saying, Ying Tianfu Xiao Sanyuan, Nanzhili Township tried to solve the Yuan, if the meeting test and the palace test are both won, then Qingyang will be famous all over the world, and it will be difficult to be a big official at that time."
Liang Xingli, who had not spoken, said this, and Sun Jinru and Zhao Danyu nodded again and again.
