Chapter 39: Headache
In the middle of the night in early summer, the warm wind blows the dissolved moonlight and blows all the way into the hall.
Ji Qingling finally sent away the servants and maids who were insisted on staying by many squires and rich men during the day, and he was almost so tired that he couldn't even lift the strength to drink saliva. She didn't care about her demeanor, and leaned back in her chair half-paralyzed.
Although Gu Yanzhang undertook most of the entertainment during the day, after all, he had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was still in good spirits at this time. He looked at Ji Qingling's lazy appearance, and said to Qiu Yue with a smile: "Go to the kitchen to see if there is any ready-made porridge, and bring a bowl to the girl." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Ji Qingling open his eyes, struggled to sit up straight, and said: "Fifth Brother Gu, help me bring a basin of water, I really can't walk, let me wash my face and be sober......
Gu Yanzhang was very distressed, so he hurriedly went to the side and wrung a wet handkerchief, and said, "If you are sleepy, I will help you carry a few buckets of hot water, wash and sleep early." ”
Ji Qingling took the handkerchief and put it on his face, and after a few breaths, he opened his eyes wide, stood up, and said, "Where can I sleep, the things in this room ......"
The hall of Gu Mansion is not big, but today there are so many people that they are crowded into the street outside, and there is an endless stream of people who come to congratulate and give gifts, and there is no moment to stop.
Ji Qingling was originally completely unprepared, the first wave of people came to deliver the letter, she was pleasantly surprised, in the face of more than a dozen congratulatory people in front of her, she had to urge Qiuyue to go back to the room to wrap the bag, and then there were too many people, even the red paper could not be sealed and not sealed enough, so she had to sprinkle copper plates all over the sky, and within two rounds, the copper plates stored at home were astigmatized.
Fortunately, on this day, the owner of the medicinal material warehouse next to him was collecting medicine, and seeing that the situation was not right here, someone came to ask, knowing that it was the owner of this house who won the first place in the examination of Qingming and Liangshan Academy, and after everyone came to celebrate, they heard that there were no broken copper plates, so they directly asked the subordinates to carry a few large baskets of copper plates over, and they called all the guys to come forward to help socialize, which helped Ji Qingling to deal with the crowd of the day.
At this time, the people have been dispersed, the tables and chairs are all high congratulatory gifts, and there are also gifts, gift boxes and other things scattered on the ground, as for the room of the two, it is even more messy.
"You have to count it out quickly and register it...... Ji Qingling sighed, "I don't know what is in it, can I collect it......
Ten years of cold windows no one asked, and in one fell swoop became famous all over the world.
This is the power of the imperial examination, and it is also the power of power.
Although Gu Yanzhang only won the first place in the Jixian Academy examination, as long as there is no accident, at least ten years, at most twenty years, there will inevitably be a place for him in the Jiying Hall of the Beijing Palace.
In Jixian County, the first name of Qingming and Liangshan means that Jinshi has been firmly in hand, and if he is lucky, he may be able to rush to a first.
The world knows that no matter what business you bet on, you may lose, and decades of prosperity may also be neglected. There may be a loss in everything, but it is impossible to suffer a loss only when it comes to Jinshi.
This is tantamount to placing a bet on imperial power.
Especially this year, unlike in the past, the first person in the two academies is actually the same person, not only Moyi Quanzhong, but also the question is a shocking article. I don't know how many people come to congratulate with the idea of "even if you can't make friends, it's a good thing to be familiar with your face", and in the past, it was a gift that was divided into two parts, but this year I simply made one, and I don't feel distressed to send it away.
Ji Qingling casually opened a delicate wooden box, the name card on it was written as a gift from Sun Moumou, and there were a few thin pieces of paper in the box, she picked it up and looked at it, turned her head to Gu Yanzhang with a wry smile and said: "I was thinking about hiring a cook after a while, but now I look at it, this cook's matter, but I can't wait." ”
Gu Yanzhang stepped forward to take a look, but it turned out that Ji Qingling had several deeds of sale in his hand, including a cook, a maid, a scholar, and even a strong servant who guarded the door, and under the wooden box were two rows of neatly stacked small silver ingots.
He casually opened another gift box, but there were two old mountain ginseng inside, looking at that beard, it was at least twenty or thirty years old.
Ji Qingling walked to a place, took out a thin brocade box, and said, "This was given by the Xie family, and I felt that something was wrong at that time." As he spoke, he opened it and looked at it, and suddenly he couldn't even squeeze out a smile.
This is the deed and title deed of a property in Jixian County, and even the transfer documents have been drawn and charged, as long as Gu Yanzhang takes this thing to Yamen to transfer the house, it is close to one acre in size, and the three-entry courtyard with the back garden will be changed to Gu immediately.
After only a few things were dismantled, the two began to have a headache.
It is definitely not possible to collect it, but how to return it decently is a troublesome matter.
Ji Qingling moved out a tray on the chair and said, "This room is full of things, only this one is the top ......" said and uncovered the red hijab on the top, and there were two ingots of fat silver lying quietly in it-it was sent by the county Cheng and the county Yin on behalf of the yamen during the day.
This is the prize silver given by Jixian County, and it is not weak at all.
Ji Qingling said with a smile: "It's all up to them to compensate for today's losses...... Fifth Brother Gu, I copied this book for a long time, and I didn't get two pennies, how long did it take for you to earn thirty taels of silver, and I will rely on you to support my family in the future! ”
Gu Yanzhang also smiled, he came to congratulate people today, and in addition to being happy, he was happy. Glad that he won the first place, at least he didn't have to give it, and he could use it to talk to the two academies about the conditions.
He had already figured it out, anyway, both sides were top-notch academies, and the difference was not big, and whichever side gave more money, he would go wherever he went.
After all, he is not a single person who is fed alone, and the whole family is not hungry, and there is a lovely sister to raise at home!
The little girl is about to be nine years old, and in less than two years, rouge, gouache, clothes, jewelry, everything will have to be purchased. Yang Pingzhang was ordered to go to Lingzhou, and when he mobilized the army and recovered Yanzhou, it would be at least a year or two later. He studied in the academy, and he couldn't make money outside as much as others, so he could naturally get a little bit of it.
I remember that I used to count the account books at home, and the cheapest fat powder used by my mother cost two taels of silver a box, so why can't I let the head of the family make something that can't be put on the table, right?!
I also have to raise two personal girls to stare at this little ancestor, so that she can read and copy books at night, and forget the time in a blink of an eye. In addition to the people who serve, the cook should also hire a good one. I don't know if it's because I'm worried too much or if the food is not to my taste, he saw that the little meat that was so easy to grow on Ji Qingling's face was gone. Thinking about it this way, since people want to add, the house will naturally have to be replaced.
There are too many places to spend money, and Gu Yanzhang has not been the first name for half a day, so he feels that his brain is not enough, and he only thinks about how to find more ways to make money, so that he can raise the ancestor next to him.
