Chapter 105: The Strange Duck (1)
Saying that, Yang Congxun and Hu Sanzi left Yantou, because they were worried that the Li brothers would come back to their senses and retaliate, and they traveled day and night along the way, almost using all their strength to hurry, and arrived in Tai'an County within ten days.
However, after entering the city, Yang Congxun did not go home directly, but led Hu San around the city, first at the breakfast stall in the city market, and got some oil cake noodle soup and other things to fill his stomach.
Seeing that Yang Congxun arrived at the door of the house but did not go home, Hu San's eyes rolled.
"Brother Yang, are you afraid that your stepmother won't take care of the food when you get home, so you and my brother will eat something to make up for it first?"
As soon as he heard the fox's question, Yang Congxun was happy: "Brother, where did you come from?"
Although Yang was stumbling in the field, he became a monk and completely gave up this world.
But even if I can't share the Yang family's property in the future, my brother and I are also the biological blood of the Yang family.
When this eldest son of the Yang Sect goes home, how can he not even care about a meal?
Brother is just ...... Ay! ”
Yang Congxun told the fox that his father Yang Xin was determined to dispel public opinion, and he did not hesitate to sweep Yang Xu's face, and he also wanted to send himself out to study.
As a result, in the end, he not only lost Xiucai's fame, but also didn't discuss it with his family, so he went up the mountain to be a dry man.
The only way to do this is to follow Yang Congxun, he can only kneel down and complain before his father Yang Xindu goes angry and violently, indicating that he left home and abandoned the world in order to find out the cause of his biological mother's violent death without illness in the past.
Therefore, I begged Yang Xindu to look at his biological mother and allow him to go outside the gate to pay tribute to his filial piety, so that it was possible to persuade Yang Xindu, who was on the blood.
If you want to kneel and complain, you can't have outsiders present, and once there are branches, all the planning behind you can't be carried out.
Therefore, no matter how close Yang Congxun is, he can't step directly into the house, so as not to be intervened by Yang Xu's foot.
can only take advantage of the opportunity for Yang Xindu to go out to take stock of the accounts, and go to Yang Ji Silk Village to kowtow and cry.
"Today, my brother came to look for it, and counted the Zhang's father in the silk village.
After this place is revealed, it is not too late to return home with my father.
Counting the time, now my father should also enter the door of the silk village, but I don't know which house to go to...... Forget it, let's try my luck at my old number first. ”
After that, Yang Congxun took the noodle soup on the table and drank it all, and after throwing more than a dozen copper plates on the dining table, he got up and led Hu San to the 'Yang Ji Silk Village' located in the east of the county.
However, before Yang Congxun could tidy up his clothes in front of his silk village, a guy who was in charge of greeting guests at the door had already raised the curtain and came forward to greet him.
"The Taoist is on top, and the people are welcome... Hey? Isn't this a young master? Master, are you back?! ”
Yang Congxun didn't expect that a guy who greeted guests at the gate of the silk village would recognize himself at a glance who had been dressed as a Taoist costume, and hurriedly returned the salute, taking advantage of the situation to take a closer look at the person, but found that the person was actually Yang Si who had gone to Guanliu Academy to serve him before?!
This really surprised Yang Congxun: "It turned out to be Fourth Brother Yang?"
Why don't you serve the animals at home, but meet the door here? ”
Seeing Yang Cong ask in a hurry, Yang Si immediately laughed at himself with a bitter face.
"If I had known that this would happen, I would have followed the young master up the mountain with you, and I wouldn't have gone home to report the news.
Young master, you don't know anything, that one met the master......"
At that time, Yang Sigang dismissed Yang Congxun from the county magistrate to show his talents, so he was discouraged and lazy about the imperial examination, so the matter of going to Kunyu Mountain to learn the Tao was simple.
When he arrived, he was so angry that Yang Xindu beat his chest for a while, and scolded Yang Congxun several times for disobedience and unfilial piety.
After that, Yang Xindu loudly instructed the healthy servants who were waiting with their hands down to get the rope, and hurriedly followed Yang Si up the mountain to tie Yang Congxun, a rebel, back.
Master Yang moved so much in the outer compartment that he immediately alarmed Yang Xu, the housewife who was sitting in the back house and embroidery, Yang Congxun's stepmother.
When he learned that the reason why Yang Congxun was mad in front of the old man's hall, Yang Congxun had never made it clear to his parents that he had gone up the mountain to cultivate the Tao without permission.
Yang Xu's heart suddenly blossomed, thinking that Yang Cong followed this abandoned family and went up the mountain, and the Yang family would no longer be able to grab the family property with his own children.
However, when Yang Xu thought about the matter deeply, he let out an "oops", threw away the embroidery in his hand, and stood up from the chair at once.
"Something is wrong with this matter, there must be something strange in it, I have to go to the front and ask the master carefully!"
Thinking that although the Yang Xu family is a female streamer hidden in the deep boudoir, after all, he was born in a big family like the Xu family in Qufu, so he followed his brother and saw a lot of businessmen.
Since he is a businessman who pursues fame and fortune in the business field, there is no one who does not want the revitalization of the family business to shine on the lintel.
However, most of these businessmen are not familiar with the scriptures and the ability to become officials in the imperial examination, so they naturally have the Tao in their heads, but once they pick up the books, they will be so dazed that they will see Zhou Gong.
Since you can't count on it, you have to start with the next generation.
These businessmen are not short of money, so they are naturally willing to spend money to hire famous teachers to enlighten and teach future generations.
The problem is that there are many big families in a county who can afford to pay money to extend their teachers, and there are only one or two teachers in a county who are both famous and have friendships with the county order, and can ensure that their disciples can at least be famous.
Famous teachers pay attention to the foundation of students' family backgrounds, how can they come to the home of an old rough man who has never read a book to open a library to teach.
In order to be able to package their own family as a scholarly home that has been famous for generations, some businessmen who are more active will use their brains to make some modest means to make a show of their fame gilded.
Like what...... Bribe the examiner!
Just because this child test is presided over by the county magistrate, if the road can be paved with silver in advance, and the county magistrate and the scribes in the yamen can be dredged up and down, then there will be a door of convenience.
As long as the money arrives, the fame of this talent will naturally arrive.
Anyway, these businessmen who spend money to bribe the county order in order to be able to test for a show of talent and fame will definitely not go to the province to test people.
And the county magistrate will never recommend these people who spend money and bribes to be able to take the examination for Rao Gongsheng.
Everyone knew each other, and they couldn't be too happy to get this money.
You must know that this Qufu in Shandong Province is where the incense of the Confucian sage is, and the imperial court wants to give the sage face after all, so the quota for admitting talents in each subject in Qufu is more relaxed than that of the neighboring counties.
It's just more than twice as much, less than twice as much!
However, this kind of special treatment is limited to Xiucai, if you really go to the provincial city to take the exam, the main examiner will not add points to your paper just because you are a Xiucai in Qufu.
If you don't learn enough, you will have to fall off the list.
If there are many tributes to the examination and few are selected in the end, the face of the Qufu County Order, who presided over the selection of talents in the children's examination, will be beaten.
In this case, it is better to strictly select those students who want to be famous in the field, and you have to have two brushes to reward you with a show of fame.
As for what to do with those extra talent spots...... You know.
And the Xu family is quite a big family with a lot of status in Qufu, and the people in this yamen are all familiar with each other.
Naturally, people often ask for Xu Dahu's door, begging him to be in the middle and help him donate his fame for a show.
That Yang Xu had long been accustomed to seeing this kind of way of spending money to take the Xiucai exam by his brother's side, so when he thought about it carefully, his heart suddenly sighed.
"Since you Yang Congxun was deprived of his talent and fame by the Yicheng County Order in Zhili, won't he go back to Qufu to spend money to make up for another one?
This is the capital for dredging up and down, and a total of 100 taels of silver is very sufficient......
Don't you have in your hand the two hundred taels of silver that the master has just given you? Where did all this money go? ”
