Chapter 146: Late Bloomer

Of course, you have to go to Beijing to catch the exam, as for whether you take the exam or not, who knows if you don't try?

After a hangover, Fang Mingyuan sat on the kang and slapped his thigh with regret, he was careless, he shouldn't have drunk too much, he didn't have a door on his mouth, the big words were blown out, if he wanted to enter Beijing to take the exam, he had to go! I don't want to go out in my heart, I was hurt all the way to move my house, and I didn't dare to go far, so I was worried when I thought about it.

How do you go all the way? It's not easy to walk, I don't know the way! Let's move around the city. When you enter Beijing to take the exam, you must ensure that you eat well and live well, how to go along the way, which cities to cross, how far you go in a day, where to stay, and how much more to worry about!

"Dad, what's the trouble?" Chang'an put the strong tea in his father's hand.

Fang Mingyuan said the trouble of rushing to take the exam. Chang An smiled like a little fox, "Dad, have you forgotten that we have a backup team?" The three of them are not bad at learning, they have learned everything they should learn, they have memorized everything they should memorize, and what is bad is their experience.

Dad, what a great opportunity to experience all the way to Beijing! You go and say, take the three of them with you, and go out to study! With the arrangement of the three of them, we don't have to worry about food, drink, and housing at all. ”

Fang Mingyuan said in his heart, my son is really sharp! fooled other people's children to go out and endure hardships, and the thieves they said were good. "Hmmm! It's time to go out for a walk, but we still have to bring a few people, and we can't count on all people. ”

Chang An smiled and said, "Dad, you really don't have to worry about this matter, you go to catch the exam, the second uncle will return to the capital, and the stuffy son will follow!" Bring Yunfei with him again, Yunfei used to be mixed in the road, and the three sects and nine streams can understand it, and he also has to send a letter to Uncle Skewer, so that General Hua knows about our entry into Beijing. ”

"Well, that's the way it should be done!" The more Fang Mingyuan listened, the more energetic he became, and he didn't have to worry about me co-authoring.

"Cai Kun wants to leave, and Sister Da Niu will follow, but his baby is too young, and the eldest aunt means to wait a year. My grandmother also shouted to go, Uncle Ming also followed, his parents Tie, Changlian wanted to take two sisters-in-law, and Brother Changxue also took his sister-in-law and the child to follow, and took the child to Mrs. Hu to see. ”

Fang Mingyuan listened to it again, this is to go to Beijing to catch the exam, or drag the family to go with relatives! "Where's your mother?"

Chang'an pointed upstairs, "Mother said, while the weather is not cold, we have to hurry up, we would rather walk slower on the road, and look at the scenery as a tour." I'm discussing with my sister about the clothes on the road, saying that I want to make a few more sleeping bags and ......"

"Stop, what do you like, don't ask me, when the time comes, call me and follow. Go, let the cafeteria make me a bowl of sour noodle soup. This discomfort in the stomach. Fang Mingyuan lay down on the soft pillow again, "I don't know how many degrees of sweet potato wine is, in the past, the winery used sweet potatoes to make alcohol, so we can't make the degree of alcohol!" Why is the wine so strong? My stomach burns so badly. ”

Chang'an pouted and left, how many degrees of sweet potato wine, he couldn't drink it, but it was definitely not low-alcohol wine. The reason why it can't be promoted is also because the wine is too strong. The ancients were accustomed to drinking rice wine, rice wine, and cold liquor was not given, and they really couldn't accept it for a while.

Although he wanted to be a shopkeeper, Fang Mingyuan also knew that it was too difficult to go far away. Cheeky, carrying a box of pastries and a bottle of liquor, I went to visit my home.

The Qin family and the Kang family were very moved, and Mr. Fang went to Beijing to catch the exam, and he still wanted to teach students. They all know the benefits of traveling, and all those in the clan who are admitted to the examination must first go out to travel for a few years to see the world.

Since Mr. Fang is willing to take his children out, they naturally give their full support.

The Shen family was a little hesitant, the child was too young, was it too early to go out to study? It's not open yet! Let it out, especially if you go to the capital, in case the child is ignorant and collides with the nobles in the capital, isn't it causing trouble for the family!

With the support of the two families, Fang Mingyuan is not a big problem whether Shen Xiao can go or not. Lord Qin directly gave the sign that he could live in the official post, and the Kang family even asked the big housekeeper to follow, and all the way to the city where there was a Kang family's shop, if there was no money, he would go directly to the Kang's shop to get money.

Fang Mingyuan went back and sighed to the patriarch, look at the Kang family, there are shops all over the country, wherever you go, the clansmen have people to arrange food and drink, and they are not afraid of losing their money bags and not finding their way home.

The patriarch found a way forward again, and said arrogantly, "We have to keep up with the Heshui Kang family, we have to learn from others, our Fenggu Fang family, and in the future, we will have shops all over the country, and there will be clansmen to take over wherever we go."

That's it, Mingcai! This time take your two boys out, keep an eye on the way, ask about the housing prices in various places, we have a small goal, open a few shops first. ”

"How many shops do you still open, how much money do you have in the public account? The public money is the medical fund of our whole village, don't spend it indiscriminately, don't when someone in the village is sick, you can't take out the money to treat people. "The fourth uncle usually doesn't like to take care of things, but today he opened his mouth to stop him for the first time.

The third uncle said, "Look at the boundlessness of your heart, there are thousands of people living in the family, and there are hundreds of people scattered outside!" In our village, we have been marrying a daughter-in-law for the past two years, and the baby has not been born less, so you have to wait for the milk doll to grow up!

You buy a shop, who will watch? The village is too busy with several businesses, how can anyone go out to open a shop? ”

Fang Mingyuan said in his heart, I just sighed, the ancient family is so powerful, why did you attract so many words?

"I went back to school, I had a lot of things to arrange, I wasn't there, and I couldn't relax my teaching tasks." Fang Mingyuan stood up and wanted to leave.

Teacher Tao came in crying from outside, and the shopkeeper Tao accompanied his younger brother and gave everyone a salute with an apologetic face.

Greeting each other and sitting down, Mr. Tao covered his old face with his rough hands, "I don't have the face to say, I just want to try, but I didn't expect it to be true." ”

The patriarch muttered in a low voice, what did you say about this? Who to reason with? Lao Tao is so old, he is lifted! Why doesn't it feel real!

In fact, Lao Tao's age is not as old as Niu, he is just fifty-two years old this year, I don't know if the ancient man is getting old fast, or it may be that Lao Tao is in a hurry, looking like an old man in his sixties.

The shopkeeper Tao smiled and said, "It's a good thing to move in the middle, but there is a thing that is not easy to do, and the prefect called my younger brother and promised the official position of the chief bookkeeper of money and grain." You can learn ......"

The patriarch immediately arched his hand and said, "Oops! Congratulations! Tsk, if you look at Lao Tao's three jumps, it's really one step at a time. ”

What are the three jumps? Mr. Bookkeeper became a teacher, and then he took the Xiucai exam, and then he was promoted again, and the government promised an official position, the master book! An official as big as the chief of our town.

Lao Tao cried and said, "What are you doing, the master book!" It's a good thing to say, but it's still the work of the bookkeeper. How old am I, and the master book can't be passed on to my grandson, what should I do in the yamen? I rarely teach, and as soon as I stood on the podium and looked at the bright eyes of the students, my heart was full of energy. ”

The shopkeeper Tao immediately said, "Teaching can still be taught, wait a few years, work in the government for a few years, you have the experience of being an official, you know what is going on with money and grain taxes, come back and teach children, is it more experienced."

Let Mr. Fang smile, my family has never been a scholar in the eighth generation, let alone an official. The second brother can come to this point, and the glory of the ancestors has changed the court!

I just thought, the second brother is a late bloomer, let the second brother be an official for a few years, our children will also be the children of the official family in the future, the eaves of the family are raised, what is the arrangement is understood, and then let the second brother resign from the official position to teach! ”

said this, as if they were blocking Lao Tao from becoming an official.

Fang Mingyuan patted Lao Tao's shoulder and said, "What are you doing here?" Old Tao! Didn't I say you, why are you crying? Go and work for a few years! This is an opportunity, the teachers in our school just have little knowledge, and if you enter the yamen in the future, I would like to hire you as the school's curriculum guide.

With your experience in Yamen, we will have a direction for teaching children in the future, I wonder if Lao Tao is willing to do this guidance? After all, you're going to be busy at work in the future......"

"Don't fire me? Still keep me at school? Lao Tao asked with tears in his eyes.

"Yes, would you like to be hired as an external guide?" Fang Mingyuan has to hold it up, this is a practical money and food officer!

"Yes, yes!" Lao Tao doesn't cry, I'm still a school teacher, and I work part-time as the main bookkeeper of money and grain, so I don't delay anything, how good!

Shopkeeper Tao looked at Mingyuan with great admiration, this person who will be designated as an official in the future, look at these few words, not only appeased the second brother, but also arranged the second brother's future work clearly!
