Chapter 155: Corrupt Officials
He Laosan was a little stunned, he didn't expect Old Man He to say this.
He is honest and good-tempered, and he will not easily refute in front of his elders.
But He Zao, who heard it from the beginning to the end, didn't have such a good temperament, and snorted coldly: "Master, what kind of family is the Han family, not to mention the show, that is, the people and the fellow Jinshi are all vying to come to the door to visit, and people will look at the talents who are over forty years old?" ”
The younger you are, the more valuable your fame is.
He Lao Er is already in his forties, and he is still hovering in the name of Xiucai, in this era when the average age is only fifty or sixty years old, even if he really becomes an official later, how many years can he be an official?
He Zao's unkindness made Old Man He very displeased.
He paused, restrained his anger, and then said in a good voice: "Third brother, we don't expect anything else, just let your second brother show his face in front of the nobles, in case the nobles fall in love, it will be his creation, otherwise we won't ask for anything else!" If you are an official or not, we don't force it, but there is such an opportunity in front of us, and it would be a pity not to seize it. ”
He had a point.
He Laosan hesitated, then nodded and promised: "Zhong, Dad, if I have the opportunity, I will naturally tell the steward." ”
Old Man He nodded with satisfaction.
This is the first time he really came to the door after the separation, and after gossiping for a while, he became interested: "Third child, how is your workshop, I'll go and see." ”
When it came to his workshop, He Laosan was also very happy, and he was busy leading the way and took Old Man He to the backyard.
Chen thought that the old man would be easy to come once, and he would have to invite him to a meal, so he got busy and prepared lunch with He Chun'er.
He Zao lazily watched the two of them busy working, and couldn't help but speak: "Mother, eldest sister, don't be busy with your two jobs, my father will definitely not stay!" ”
Chen Shi said angrily: "How do you speak, your father is so easy to come to the door, even the first two times he came to help collect the cypress, and he didn't stay for a meal, don't play, go to your second grandmother's house to buy a chicken, let's stew the chicken and eat." ”
He had already muttered: "I still went to her house to buy it, the second wife is stingy, and the scale for us is always not allowed." ”
Chen smiled: "Hit, go quickly, your second wife is just a little stingy, let's not be like her." ”
He Zao pursed his lips, didn't say anything more, took the money, and beckoned Qibao to go to the second grandmother's house together.
Shippo pouted, looking very unhappy.
He Zao teased him: "What's wrong?" ”
Shippo muttered, "...... I don't like the second uncle......"
Today, He Lao Er embarrassed He Lao San in front of everyone, and this baby was seen in his eyes.
He Zao smiled and touched his head: "Fool, what are you angry about, you don't have a good time!" You just have to think that the second uncle is jealous. ”
Shippo thought for a moment and nodded slowly.
When I came back from buying chickens, I happened to meet Ah Che who was also there, and was talking to Chen politely: "...... My cousin sent so many things, it's hot, I can't eat alone, so auntie, you can help me eat a little, otherwise it will be bad if I put it away. ”
Then came Chen's refusal voice: "Oh, that's not a mile, Young Master Gu ......"
He had already poked his head into the kitchen and was amazed.
Han Lanshuo seemed to be afraid that his cousin would suffer in the small mountain village, with large colored chickens, wild boar, wild deer legs, and a bunch of pickled small fish that were only the size of a thumb and almost transparent in color...... There are so many types, and the saliva is about to flow down when I look at He Zao.
Seeing that the Chen family was still refusing, He Zao hurriedly walked over, his eyes were shining, and he said with a smile: "Hey, then we're welcome, Brother Ache, tsk, Brother Ache is really generous, what, you shouldn't go back at noon, stay at my house for dinner!" ”
Chen glared at He Zao: "Zao'er ......"
He Zao was cheeky: "Mother, this is Brother Ache's intention, we have to accept it!" ”
Despite having learned how cheeky she was, Archer couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and his expression was pleasant: "Okay, auntie, then I'll stay at noon." ”
Of course, Chen didn't say anything, and promised repeatedly: "Hey, then let's eat stewed rice at noon!" Morning, go scoop millet and come over and scoop a little more. ”
Eating small rice is equivalent to the most sumptuous meal in Wuxian Town.
Before, Ah Che had never eaten millet, even boiled millet porridge, his food was obviously the best in this era, but after staying in Lujia Village for a long time, he felt that small rice was the sweetest rice he had ever eaten.
Except for He Zao's children, the rest of the He family was very uncomfortable staying with him, and he didn't stay here, but said, "Zao'er, I'll go with you." ”
He had already responded, but after going out, the adults couldn't see it, so she pouted and complained: "Why didn't you bring it earlier, I spent money to buy a chicken, and it was all wasted!" ”
Ah Che raised his eyes: "......"
The second child and the children in the family are all there, of course Mr. He will not stay at the third room house for dinner, but he has his own thoughts about it.
Sure enough, when he insisted on leaving, Chen hurriedly picked up a bowl of venison, a bowl of stewed chicken, and sent two big colored chickens to the old mansion together.
The old mansion can be regarded as open.
Old Man He was very satisfied with this daughter-in-law's superiority, and his tone was a little pleasant.
He is not greedy for that bit of food, but what he values is Sanfang's attitude towards him, he has always known that the third and the third are filial and good children.
After a full meal, He Zao hid in Ah Che's house with Ah Che to enjoy the cool, there were several uncles in his yard who were over 100 years old, the shade was lush, and there were ice cubes sent by Han Lanshuo at home, which was much cooler than He Zao's house.
He had already flipped through his book for a while, anyway, she had already told him what she knew in a dream, and it was not good to cover it up, it was better to be open.
Ah Che was also used to it, only glanced at her, and suddenly asked, "I heard that after my cousin left, your grandfather and second uncle went to your house?" ”
He didn't go far, standing behind the alley to see him off, and naturally heard He Laoer's words.
He Zao was a little embarrassed, no matter what, He Lao Er was a family with them, and the other party said such a drop in price, and the third room was also disgraced.
She closed the book and tried her best to pretend not to care: "The second uncle has not been able to get out of the exam for many years, so I am anxious...... Sensei is in the middle of it! ”
Ah Che lowered his eyes, thought for a moment, and said: "Why don't I tell my cousin, although Xiucai's status is a little lower, it's still okay to be a nine-rank petty official!" ”
He Zao was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't!" She poked her neck out, as if she was afraid that someone would break in and eavesdrop, and when she saw that there was no one, she approached him again and lowered her voice and said, "Don't you care about this, do you hear?" ”
A fierce tone!
Ah Che raised an eyebrow.
He Zao had already held his chin and sighed: "I know too well what my second uncle is like, he only needs to be a private school teacher, if he really gets him an official and a half-job, tsk......" She snorted twice, and suddenly made a grimace: "It must be a corrupt official!" ”
