Chapter 10: Vouchers
Yu Mojin never thought that Wei Ye would be so nonsense when he was angry with the head of the Academy, so he said, "What do I swear to the head of the Academy?" Whether I marry or not, what does it have to do with the study of Yanjia? ”
Wei Ye sneered, "Well, you're still young and don't understand these things. Let me ask you, you keep saying that you are bent on pursuing the study of Yanjia, so if you have a family in the future, who will take care of your husband's family? Who will support the elderly? Who will nurse the child? You don't look down on everyone's door valve, and the small door will allow you to come nonsense? ”
“……”
Yu Mochen wanted to refute, but she couldn't speak.
In fact, she also knows that not all women are like what Wei Ye said.
For example, in a wealthy family like the Wei family, the wives will not take care of the housework and take care of the old and the young every day. There are people who worry about these things for them.
But this is certainly not the life she wants.
If this is the case, it is in line with what Weiye Alcohol said before. Moreover, Yu Moji can imagine that it is impossible for a woman who climbs a high branch to be a caged finch to show her face and be embarrassed in the field that belongs to men.
"I didn't force you to swear," Wei Ye said, "There are differences between husband and wife, and ethics are always like that. You will walk this way, blasphemy, corrupt customs, and you will have to suffer in the future; Don't mention anything else, at least the matter of marriage, don't even think about it. ”
Yu Mochen couldn't think of a reason to refute him for a while, so he had to hold on and said, "That's not the first thing to worry about." ”
"I'm worried that you won't succeed in your studies, and you'll come back and calculate my son."
When Yu Moji heard this, he immediately became angry, "I won't!" ”
"You don't believe you." Wei Yeol said unhurriedly, "I heard that Assistant Teacher Yu is going to the Imperial Capital Cardinal in the future. Even though you can ride the Pan-Sun Kite on the road in a beautiful way, a reserve, you have to take care of your own food and lodging in the Cardinal's House. I also heard that Assistant Teacher Yu has been poor since he was a child, and his family has no one to rely on. The imperial capital is expensive, I don't know if Assistant Teacher Yu will be self-sufficient in the future. ”
Wei Yeol's words hit the key point of Yu Moji.
After she became a teaching assistant, although her salary was higher, private transactions such as doing homework for students had to stop, and as soon as the monthly rent of the anthill was paid, plus rice noodles, taxes, etc., there were no more children left.
Yu Mojian's face was cold, he only felt that this Wei Ye was so unreasonable, first belittled her for climbing high branches, and then ridiculed her ambition to study, and now she has to criticize her family background. She had been trying to keep her composure, and now she finally couldn't take it anymore.
She was about to sneer, but Wei Yeol said, "If Assistant Teacher Yu is willing to make this oath today, my Wei family is willing to fund you with 20,000 yuan." He didn't want to say anything about it, he was too ungraceful, so he made up for it, "In the future, if Assistant Teacher Yu knows the truth and has the heart to regret it, please bow your head and be a man, don't mention the matter of making friends with Linyuan, don't let my Wei family know, and I won't embarrass you." ”
Wei Yeol has always regarded her husband and children as a woman's vocation, and he naturally knows that for women, this oath is a bit excessive.
But Virgil does this, and anger is only one of the reasons; What he really wants is to change the reputation of his ignorant son and earn a more secure future.
The Wei family is extremely rich, and 20,000 yuan is only a drop in the bucket, which is insignificant; Taking a step back, if Yu Mochen is lucky enough to get a little out with this money, and even really succeeds in his studies in the future, then as the head of the first academy with the responsibility of teaching and educating people, he can be regarded as accumulating a little merit.
Yu Moji was a little dazed.
She is still young, and she usually worries about some ways to make money. When it comes to marriage, she has only a vague idea; It's too far away, and it doesn't seem to matter that much if it's there or not.
However, 20,000 dollars is real.
She had never had so much wealth. But she can imagine that if she really wants to survive in the imperial capital, even if it is such a large fortune, it is unknown whether she can make her life a thorough one; The only thing that is certain is that with the few strings of money that she herself has in hand, she is estimated to be starving to death on the streets before she even sets foot in the cardinal.
This contrast, for Yu Moji, is so vivid that there is no room for fantasy.
She was silent for a moment and nodded, "I promise." ”
The people of the Wei Mansion paid off the 20,000 yuan to Yu Moji on the same day.
Yu Mochen actually didn't feel that she had anything to lose, originally, she didn't have any special feelings for Wei Linyuan.
The money is more like a windfall that flew out of thin air. For safety, she exchanged the money into a silver ticket and carefully put it away; I was not very sure, and I had nightmares about leaking money for several days.
She hasn't seen Wei Linyuan since then, maybe it's really as the head of the Wei Academy said, General Wei Xiao completely gave up his studies in the martial arts hall, changed his career to business, and did great things.
The specially designed signal cigarette was not handed over to Wei Linyuan. Yu Moji didn't want to show it to Master Xu. This kind of design is a small fight, and if it is not good, it will be said by Xu Fuzi that it is not a proper job.
Towards the end of summer, Yu Mojin received a letter from the imperial capital.
As she wished, the application handed to the Cardinal was approved.
The entire lecture hall is her own.
The students of the Martial Arts Hall, as long as they have some pursuits in the study of Yanjia, have the idea of going to the Cardinal.
The position that Yuan Yizhi applied for was a reserve, similar to a student, and it was not a formal position; After entering the Cardinal, you have to go through layers of selection before you can stay, and you have a long way to go to become a Yanshi.
However, for ordinary students who were not the children of important members of the Imperial Army, especially those in the poor countryside like Aige, joining the reserve was a necessary step on the road to truly devoting themselves to the study of the Armor.
For the students of the entire Great Qi Empire, this may also be the most difficult step to take.
Although the reputation of the Cardinal is famous, the place is not large, and there are only about 100 reserve places every year, and the fierce competition can be imagined.
Although even the always scathing Master Xu recognized Yu Moji's strength, if it weren't for the coincidence that he got a recommendation from Yuan Yizhi, a person with a high military rank, Yu Moji's application might never have passed.
After all, since the establishment of the Lecture Hall of Mourning, it may not have been able to send a single student to the Cardinal.
Yu Mojian went to high school in one fell swoop, which can be called a historic breakthrough for mourning, which should have been a gongs and drums to promote and boost the morale of the students, and perhaps attract the local tyrants who were attached to the imperial elegance to tell them to prepare and pack up the children who were about to be full of age at home.
However, Yu Moji was not a student of the martial arts hall.
She was a teaching assistant in the lecture hall, and she did participate in training and classes, but she did not learn from scratch in a serious and step-by-step manner like the students.
In the eyes of outsiders who don't know what's going on, she just listened to classes, sparred, ran errands, and did chores, and the final results were better than those of formal students. On weekdays, she is a teaching assistant, and she is also quite loved because she has been helping students solve their homework that they can never complete alone. However, in the matter of applying for admission to the Cardinal, she completely stood in a position to compete with the students, and all the admiration and praise she received in the past became the source of jealousy.
Not only did the students lose face, but this matter was really embarrassing for the martial arts hall. So the master and the instructors all showed a considerable tacit understanding, and they didn't mention it at all, and they didn't mention it.
The letter was stamped with the usual red stamp of the Good News. Xu Fuzi saw it, nodded, and said "Okay".
Other than that, no one else has given the slightest compliment to Yu Moji's small achievement.
For Yu Moji, this is also a common thing. After all, her life of more than ten years has basically been disliked, praise and encouragement are luscious fruits, hanging high on the branches, but she is a villain running in the dust, looking up and knowing what is going on, it is enough.
A little vanity, if you don't have it, you don't have it.
The only thing that bothered her was that no one told her what procedures to go through and what processes to go through; The legendary pan-sun kite in the imperial capital will fly as he wishes.
From Aige to the imperial capital, the first step is to cross the Chilu Mountain. The mountain road is difficult and dangerous, and if Yu Moji goes alone, it will be very auspicious.
She took the festive letter and struggled for a long time.
She actually asked with a shy face. However, on the one hand, the instructors in charge didn't bother to care about her, and on the other hand, they really didn't know what was going on, and they blamed each other, and most of the day passed, but they couldn't give any results.
Xu Fuzi had the heart to help, but he didn't have any good ideas, he just said that it really didn't work, and it was much more convenient to take her with her when the sergeant of the martial arts hall returned to the imperial capital to report on his work, rather than walking alone. It's just a long way to go, and I don't know if I can catch up with the deadline for reporting to the cardinal; Moreover, she may have to pay for the expenses along the way.
Yu Moji's money was not easy to come by, and he couldn't bear to spend it on the road like this.
She was so anxious that she didn't dare to show it on her face, and she was about to hold back her bag.
She was in a hurry, her life had not changed much, classes were still on the same, and the small stove for the second ancestors was still open.
The little thing that Wutang taught was already very easy for her. She said it smoothly, but she remembered things in her heart, and it was inevitable that she would be a little distracted.
After a small lesson, when some students came to say goodbye to her according to the number of etiquette, Yu Moji realized that it was the last section of this school period. Even though she had assets of 20,000 yuan, she immediately began to worry about her livelihood during the holidays.
However, most of the students were immersed in the so-called "sorrow" of the literati, and they were very eager to say goodbye one by one.
One student was particularly enthusiastic. Yu Mochen was not familiar with him, and after thinking for a long time, the student's surname was Zhao or Gao; Looking closely, I felt that this person was somewhat similar to Wei Linyuan.
However, in this place, there is no difference in the dress of the rich boys, they are all the same clothes, the same oily hair and noodles, from head to toe, everywhere shows the intention of moving closer to the ideal imperial fashion.
The student whose surname was unknown said goodbye to his classmates earnestly, and he hadn't forgotten the ink marks. He stepped forward and saluted the teaching assistant in a dignified manner.
Yu Moji hurriedly returned the salute. She is not necessarily older than the other party, and she has to learn from the teachers, and she gives a word or two in an old-fashioned manner, and she feels funny, and she almost can't hold back.
The student's respectful expression was impeccable. Yu Moji is also familiar with the routines between the words of people from good backgrounds, and he is a little embarrassed.
When it was over, the student didn't forget to compliment Yu Moji for a sentence or two, "I heard that the teacher is a high school cardinal, and the student is very respectful." If you are lucky enough to meet in the imperial capital in the future, please bring one or two. ”
Yu Moji was worried about this matter, and when he heard this, he hurriedly said, "Young master, don't say that. I'm just a fluke, whether I can go to the imperial capital or not, it's not certain. ”
"Teachers don't have to be humble, your talents, students have seen and heard with their own eyes. It's just that it's a long way to go, thousands of miles, and I'm afraid it will take twenty or thirty days. It's really hard to be a teacher. ”
Yu Mochen frowned, and before he could speak, a fast-talking student on the side suddenly interjected, "What's the hard work?" Didn't you say that a big ship would be sent to pick it up? ”
"You don't know." The student who didn't know whether his surname was Zhao or Gao said, his eyes turned back, and he glanced at Yu Moji, and his face showed a bit of pity. He lowered his voice and said, "But the teacher should know, right?" The emperor will not send a pan-sun kite. ”
