Spring days are always inevitably dripping with rain like silk, sticky and thick, and it seems that there is always no sunshine.

The city of Hangzhou was wet everywhere, as if it had been put on a new outfit all of a sudden, but the weather was getting hotter and hotter, and letters had been sent from Yinxian and Hexi.

In the letter, looking at the scribbled words, it is not difficult to imagine that Mrs. Ye wrote the letter with great excitement, probably saying that everything was fine at home, and also about the stone workshop, and also about the care of Wang Xianling and others.

Most of the people in front of him are some favors, Ye Chunqiu has integrated into this era, and he is well versed in this truth, Wang Xianling went to the Ye family to congratulate him in person, this is human affection, the dignified county order, originally there was no need to come to the door in person, which cannot be counted as official business, but belongs to personal relations.

This also shows that since then, the Ye family has gained greater prestige in the local area, of course, the status is not the same as before.

From a small gentry family, the influence was more limited to Hexi, but now, it can completely cover the entire territory of Fenghua, and may even reach the neighboring counties.

Don't underestimate this influence, the so-called gentry, that is, local celebrities, is the object of the government's reliance, as long as there is influence, then more human relations will come naturally, everyone is willing to give the Ye family face, the people of the Ye family go with the wind wherever they go, then the local bridge and paving are rarely required to be presided over by the Ye family, or some local official or semi-official activities, you also need to ask the Ye family's opinion.

The great thing about the gentry is that it is not a government and cannot decide what to do, but if you want to do anything without its approval or support, then it has countless means of bad things.

In this way, the Ye family's influence on the local government has also deepened, and the government is more willing to give face to a newly rising celebrity like the Ye family, and it will be easier for the Ye family to do something, or to help people do something, and many people in the county and township are more willing to take refuge in the Ye family, which makes more people rely on the Ye family's breath, and the influence is growing like a snowball.

At the beginning, the Huang family turned over overnight with a jinshi, but now, the Ye family has a Xie Yuan, and a person who is the third in the township test, but it is not far behind.

Ye Chunqiu has a lot of slander against the sages, to put it bluntly, it is a group of landlords who have held the government hostage, but he understands in his heart that in this era, these people are the cornerstone of the rule of this dynasty, because of his own and his father's efforts, the Ye family, which was originally a stepping stone, has now become a granite.

The emotions in the old lady's letter were very excited, even a little excessive, and there were even a few typos, which made Ye Jing speechless, he, the old man, usually values the rules the most, and he pays attention to every stroke, but now he doesn't even care about the rules.

Of course, along with the letter, there are spring clothes and summer clothes, as well as fifty taels of silver, the letter mentioned it, and then greatly encouraged Ye Chunqiu and his son, saying that it is not to think about the family, visit teachers and friends abroad, do not be stingy with money, but there is a shortage, just reply to the book, and ask the villagers to send it.

It's too generous, the old lady is absolutely crazy, fifty taels of silver is not a decimal, at least it is the Ye family's surplus income for a year, after all, there are not many places that need cash in this era, so the income of the silver money is completely dependent on the small oil mill at home, and there are some mulberry hemp turned into cash, and the old lady's tone is also very big, there is no money to find me, there is nothing to do.

Ye Jing and Ye Chunqiu looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, Mrs. Ye is actually quite a picky person, except for the children studying, the ladies of the family will inevitably have to babble a few words when they play silver jewelry.

…………

But Uncle Sun Qi's letter is much simpler, Ye Jing is his brother-in-law, Chunqiu is his nephew, and now he has been moved, it is said that it is a sensation in Ningbo City, and even his status is rising.

Even if you don't play yin, just standing in front of your store with a knife is enough to scare your patients away.

And now, these errands are still coming, but they don't dare to ask for any tea money, and they always go in with a smile to say hello when they pass by, Doctor Sun, why is there a stone in front of your medical hall, oops, what if you stumble, I'll remove it for you, ah...... Not hard, not hard, no effort, what does this mean, I still drink your tea? It's just a good deal, if you stuff me with money again, I'm going to be in a hurry, Ye Jieyuan and Ye Juren of your family, I can't climb high, and I dare to ask you for money, please don't slap me in the face, I hurt.

Many very subtle changes, don't look at the attitude of just a small official, but hidden behind it, it is completely an ecological difference.

Even Yin County also said that the hospital is now struggling to start a business, knowing that the hospital has many difficulties, the county sent someone, saying that the money does not need to be repaid in a hurry, and it is okay to be in arrears for a year and a half.

In fact, if you think about the county order of Yinxian County, it is also a pain in the egg, although the township test of this department of Yinxian County is also brilliant, and you have won four or five, but a pair of fathers and sons in Fenghua have played a big ticket, and no one has paid attention to the people in Yinxian County, whether it is Shilin and neighbors, what they are talking about is Fenghua County's education, no nose and no face, liver pain, but was slapped alive, and you have to make a little helpful look in the county, who is this bitter to talk to?

Sun Qi also sent some clothes, naturally, and also sent three hundred taels of silver.

The medical hall now has a surplus of three hundred taels in January, except for the necessary expenses, Sun Qi has sent almost all the money, and the people who go out, especially those who are very high-level now, in a big place like Hangzhou, of course, can not be shabby, which means that you can spend it vigorously, and the medical hall is not bad for money.

In this way, Lin Lin finally came down, Ye Chunqiu brought one hundred taels from the medical hall when he came, and three hundred and fifty taels were sent here, in addition, it was Ye Chunqiu who invited someone to go to the bookstore to entrust the sale of books, and the second uncle spent one hundred taels of silver to buy it, and deducted the commission for the owner of the bookstore, which was eighty taels, and after a full calculation, the silver in Ye Jing and Chunqiu's hands was actually as much as five hundred taels.

In fact, now the Fenghua Association in Hangzhou has almost become a special liaison station for Ye Chunqiu's father and son, and every three or five times, there will be letters and some things to help bring.
