Early the next morning, the father and son got up early, one was going to go to the government, the other was going to study, and there was no way to sleep.

Xin Qiji wanted to make breakfast, but Xin Zhi stopped him: "Dad, I'll come." ”

Xin Qiji was surprised: "You are coming?" ”

Xin Zhen smiled: "Let me try." ”

Xin Qiji nodded, thinking that no matter how bad it was, it could always be cooked, but after all, he was not at ease, so he watched from the side.

There is nothing surprising about the boiled noodles, of course, there is no seasoning, only a little salt seems to be of worrying quality, but as long as the heat is well controlled, it may not be delicious, but the entrance is always not disgusting.

Xin Qiji looked at Xin Zhi's crisp cooking of noodles with novelty, and it really looked like that, so he couldn't help but ask curiously, "How can you do this?" ”

Xin Zhi said with a smile: "If you see too much, it will naturally be, I remember eating some noodles outside before, this is about a matter of heat, and it is probably good to master the heat." ”

Xin Qiji was skeptical, and when he ate the first bite of noodles, his mood was a little complicated: "It tastes like your mother made ......"

Xin Qiji hadn't been late for such delicious noodles for a long time, and he finished eating them, and after eating, he said to Xin Zhen: "Don't go to the school today, Lu Mengsun is narrow-minded, I'm afraid it will be bad for you, I'll go to Lu's house today to intercede, and you will go when it's okay." ”

Xin Zhi nodded obediently.

Xin Qiji went out.

Xin Zhi knew that he had caused trouble, and he didn't know how powerful the Lu family was, so he stayed at home obediently, and when Xin Qiji came back in the evening, he was full of worries.

Xin Zhi asked tentatively, "Dad? ”

Xin Qiji hummed and said, "It's okay, let's eat first." ”

Saying that, Xin Qiji planned to go to the kitchen, Xin Zhi said, "Dad, let's go with me." ”

Xin Qiji stopped, thought for a while, and said, "It's okay, your craftsmanship is better." ”

Xin Zhen's hands and feet were quick to make good noodles, and the father and son ate them.

Xin Zhen took a few bites, but after all, he was still a little worried, so he stopped and asked, "Dad, how is it?" ”

Xin Qiji looked up at Xin Zhi and said, "It's okay, Dad will find you another school." ”

Xin Shu was surprised: "Didn't the Lu family give face?" ”

Xin Qiji put down his chopsticks and said a little depressed: "The threshold of the Lu family is high, after all, they have also been the prime minister, they originally looked down on the people who returned to the south, but now that they have a handle, they are even more unwilling to spare us easily."

But after all, my father is still an official of the imperial court, and they don't dare to do anything, but I can't go to this school, and it doesn't matter, just help me find another one for my father. ”

Xin Qiji comforted Xin Zhi, but Xin Zhi knew that this Jiangyin County was already considered a front line, and there were not many schools.

The school I am studying now is for the children of county officials and wealthy families, and the teachers are strong, so if you want to achieve something in your studies, this is the only place to go.

The rest are just some private schools, and the master's level is average, and most of them are mistaken children, which is not a good place to go.

In other words, he had nowhere to go at all except this academy.

Xin Zhen didn't care, he didn't want to read these four books and five classics and the like, but looking at his father's thoughtful appearance, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

Originally, Xin Qiji had just come to the Jiangyin Army to take up his post, and the Song people had already excluded them, the reformed people, and it was not easy to come to the yamen.

Now he is still causing trouble for him, offending the largest family in the Jiangyin Army, which is even worse.

Xin Zhi hesitated: "Dad, otherwise, I still don't study, right?" ”

Xin Qi reprimanded: "How can you do it if you don't study!" You don't have to worry, this matter will definitely be solved by the father, but it really can't be done, just teach yourself for the father.

Anyway, as a liuguan, you also have to work everywhere, and you don't have to stay here, after a year or two, when the imperial court order arrives, you can go to work elsewhere, and you can also study.

But you must not waste the books you should read! ”

Xin Zhi ate noodles silently, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Dad, how much savings do we have?" ”

Xin Qiji took it out in his arms, took out a money bag and handed it to Xin Zhi, Xin Qiji quickly fell on the table, a few pieces of broken silver, and more than a dozen copper plates were dripping on the table.

Xin Zhen's eyes widened: "Dad, don't you say that our family has this little money left, right?" ”

Xin Qiji nodded and said, "It's okay, isn't there another generation of flour, it's enough for us to last a while." ”

Xin Zhi couldn't cry or laugh: "What about after some time?" ”

Xin Qiji said: "The boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, and you will not be hungry if you worry about doing so much." ”

Xin Zhi said quietly: "Dad, your heart is really ......."

He rolled his eyes and said, "...... Dad, let me ask you something, can the family members of officials do business? ”

Xin Qiji glanced at him and said, "According to the laws of the imperial court, it is not possible, but many officials naturally have income, but they are generally not listed in the name of their families...... Well? You don't want to do business, do you? ”

Xin Zhi said: "Is it okay? ”

Xin Qiji shook his head and said, "Other people can, but we can't." ”

Xin Zhiqi said: "Why? ”

Xin Qiji said: "First, we have no foundation, there are no trustworthy people at all, and second, these people are staring at us."

We have offended the Lu family even more now, and they are worried that they can't find our handle.

If they get the handle, the father's ruler may also be removed.

So, you must not act rashly, you know! ”

Hearing that the road was also blocked, Xin Zhi suddenly wilted.

Xin Qiji saw Xin Zhi's expression and knew that his son also wanted to share the family's worries, and he was actually quite relieved in his heart.

Compared with the previous stunned appearance, although the current son can cause trouble, he is much cuter!

Moreover, what are you afraid of causing this trouble, I caused a lot of trouble when I was a child than this.

My grandfather taught himself to be anti-gold every day, boy, what kind of boy is not to cause trouble!

After Xin Qiji comforted himself, he then began to comfort his son.

"You don't have to worry about the expenses at home, you can work hard for your father, and you can still be hungry, you just have to study hard, and the rest will be solved by your father!"

Xin Zhen sighed in his heart.

How can you solve it, you are excluded from Jiangyin Yamen, and you don't have any gray income.

And the serious Yulu is not good to count on at present, and now he is even stared at to death by people to make money in business......

How do you spend this day!

In the next few days, Xin Qiji went out every day, and when he came back, he didn't mention letting him go to school, and it was estimated that there was still no hope, but he just told Xin Zhi to study at home.

It's just that Xin Zhi can see what he can, so he sees Xin Qiji wandering around the county when he is not there.

It's just that Jiangyin County is dilapidated after the chaos, and there are not many businesses, and there are very few places to visit.

Of course, there are also these in Flower Street and Willow Lane, and they are very prosperous, after all, where the military camp is located, the smoke willow industry will naturally be particularly prosperous.

It's just that the current Xin Zhen is too small, so it's naturally not good to go there to play, and even if he can, he can't go.

He was poor.

Therefore, the place he frequented was under a gazebo by the river, and many trees were planted around the pavilion, which became a natural summer resort, attracting many elderly people to escape the heat here.

There are those who play chess here, there are those who play Go, and of course, there are more people who brag about state affairs.

Xin Zhi likes to come here because he can hear a lot of information here.

Although these people brag a lot, the information, nine falsehoods and one truth, can be regarded as a gain if they can capture a truth.

There are more old people here, but there are also children and grandchildren who come, Xin Zhi is not eye-catching here, but he is tall and very handsome, and there are no old people with him, so he still falls in the eyes of some old people.

"Hey, you little guy, which family are you from, why do you come here every day to fool around, it's a good age to study, how can you wander around?"

When Xin Zhen looked at the person who spoke, he was a little happy.

The person who spoke looked like a rich man, and he didn't talk much here on weekdays, just smiling and listening to other people's bragging.

Although he didn't speak much, everyone respected him a lot and called him Fan Laozhang, who seemed to have a high status.

It is said that this person is a member of the Jiangyin Fan family, the Jiangyin Fan family is a big landowner, Jiangyin has two major families, collectively known as Fan Lu, the Lu family is the prime minister, and the Fan family claims to own half of the Jiangyin field.

Of course, this statement is exaggerated, but with this kind of rumor, there is naturally some credibility.

Although Xin Zhi is extremely bored and comes out to hang out, he also has the meaning of coming out to look for opportunities.

Now that the Xin family is poor and can't even eat a piece of meat, Xin Zhen, as a person who has no meat and is unhappy, this kind of life is too hard, so he naturally wants to find a way to change the status quo.

But the road to doing business is blocked, so I can only think of another way.

Listening here for the past few days, I naturally had my eyes on this Fan Laozhang, but I didn't know how to open my mouth to approach, but I didn't expect him to come to the door.

You're welcome!
