Volume 1: A Good Boy Becomes Famous Chapter 36: Do You Want to Be an Official? Red beans

Qin Ji's food is the guarantee of Bianliang's catering industry!

There is no doubt about this, even if many people present look down on Qin Wei, who was born as a businessman, as long as it is a guest who has eaten Qin Ji's meal, no one doubts the deliciousness of this cake.

Zhao Yunrang had tasted the chicken cake last time, and he was even more coveted by the new pastry in front of him.

Seeing her son's greedy appearance, the princess couldn't help laughing and said, "Come on, give this pastry to everyone to taste." ”

Wang Zhen, who was a guest of honor, naturally also got a piece of it, and after taking a bite, he said with a smile: "The virtuous nephew's cooking skills are really speechless, even the old man, who is never moved by food, can't help but praise it." ”

From 'Qin Gongzi' to 'Virtuous Nephew', Wang Zhen's change in the title of Qin Wei means how much he attaches importance to him.

This couldn't help but make Qin Wei puzzled, what kind of relationship did Wang Zhen have with Qin Feng, so that this dignified Kaifeng Mansion Yin would take such good care of him.

If it was just an ordinary person, Wang Zhen would not have to be like this at all, let alone take him to the upper seat in front of everyone.

Qin Wei smiled politely: "Thank you Shibo for complimenting, if you like it, I will make a few more for Ming'er's little nephew to send to you." ”

Listening to the conversation between the two, Fan Zhongyan smiled suddenly: "This kid is so lively, just now he was called 'Lord Wang', and a sentence of 'virtuous nephew', he immediately changed his name to 'Shibo', quite proficient in the way of tactfulness!" If you can enter the officialdom, you are also a good seedling......"

Instead of being angry, Wang Zhen looked at Qin Wei with a smile and said, "Do you want to be an official?" ”

Are you kidding? Is it so easy to be an official these days?

I think that Qin Weihan studied hard for ten years, but he was still famous in Sun Mountain, so depressed that he even lost his life, and cheapened him as an outsider in vain.

Although Daddy Qin Feng was born in Jinshi, he still had a hard time when he died.

In his memory, Qin Feng's education of Qin Wei can be harsh, and he always says that he hopes that he can be named on the gold list, it seems that in Qin Feng's cognition, only the title of the gold list is meaningful if he is alive.

Qin Wei thought about it for a while, and said: "Since the little nephew fell off the list and started business, he is well versed in the hardships of the world, whether he is an official or a businessman, he is just a businessman. ”

Wang Zhen and Fan Zhongyan looked at each other, they have been in the world for a long time, and they have heard this kind of prevarication tens of thousands of times.

Fan Zhongyan smiled and asked, "How old are you this year?" ”

"I just turned eighteen this year."

It has been more than half a year since he came to the Great Song Dynasty unconsciously, and Qin Wei secretly sighed.

"But listening to you, how can the old man feel more gloomy than those people in their forties?" Fan Zhong drowned his anger and said: "Young people should seize every opportunity to serve their family and country, and glorify their ancestors, how can they be so unenterprising and content with the status quo!" ”

Qin Wei was too lazy to argue with him, so he had to smile bitterly: "Mr. Fan has tormented the juniors, and he knows a few catties and taels, and there are many officials in this Bianliang City, if he doesn't have some real skills, even if the prince appreciates it and helps the juniors get an official and a half position, he will eventually be submerged by this sea of people, and the juniors are still young, and they really don't want to, and they don't dare to wade into the muddy waters of officialdom." ”

This is the truth, and it is also the heart of the heart.

Since coming to the Great Song Dynasty, Qin Wei has never thought about being an official.

Admittedly, this is a suitable era for officials! At that time, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin said 'a glass of wine releases military power', and the status of literati was qualitatively sublimated.

It is no exaggeration to say that the status of officials and scholars in all dynasties is comparable to that of officials in the Song Dynasty.

Later, Emperor Zhenzong said, 'There is a golden house in the book'! Students from all over the world flock to it, and the status of scholars has climbed to the peak!

Official!

In the minds of contemporary readers, this is the ultimate and only goal.

What 'the general of the building will be tilted' and what 'the sky will descend to the people', must be established after being able to be an official, and if you can't be an official, the rest are floating clouds.

Wang Zhen was silent for a long time before sighing with emotion.

"Where is this sleek, but live transparently! What has Qin Zizheng taught you over the years? That's why you're so cynical at a young age. ”

This couldn't help but remind Qin Wei of the words Qin Feng had said in his memory.

"When my father was alive, he once said that if a scholar wants to enter the office, it has nothing to do with money, fame and fortune, it is important to have a heart that regards the world as his own responsibility, as long as he has the world, no matter where he is, he can serve his family and country."

"Zizheng said it thoroughly!" Fan Zhongyan couldn't help but think about it, and said: "Since your father's lifelong wish is to make you loyal to the country, why don't you want to be an official?" ”

Qin Wei shrugged his shoulders and said with a sudden smile: "The younger generation is also loyal to the country now!" ”

Wang Zhen smiled: "Can you be loyal to the country in business? That's a new thing. ”

Qin Wei said seriously: "Did Wang Shibo Mo forget? A few years ago, the sixteen restaurants in Bianliang paid back taxes together, and this money really went into the treasury, isn't this still loyal to the country? ”

In recent decades, the Song Dynasty has developed economically, and although the reputation of merchants has improved, the social status is still from the bottom.

Even many ordinary people are not ashamed of business, this is a problem left over from ancient times to the present, and no one can change it in a short period of time.

Fan Zhongyan immediately retorted and said coldly: "Businessmen pursue profits, and it has been like this for thousands of years!" Moreover, the reason why they pay back taxes is not to serve the court, but to continue to accumulate wealth. ”

Is it wrong for businessmen to pursue profits?

Aren't businessmen supposed to chase for profit?!

How can there be a businessman in this world who is only for charity and not for making money? If this is the case, how will the economy develop?

Qin Wei was a little angry: "If you look at Mr. Fan's argument, then the scholar is only for officials, is this also profit-seeking?!" If the DPRK and China are like this, what kind of nobility can we talk about officials! ”

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

Why do you have to divide three, six, nine and so on?

Fan Zhongyan was silent.

It's not that he can't argue with Qin Wei, but there are some things that Qin Wei can say, but he and Wang Zhen, who are in official positions, can't say it......

……

It is already the early spring of Bianliang, the green willows have sprouted, and the spring water is full of vitality everywhere.

Mother Wu also came to the Qin Mansion as promised.

The population of the Qin family is not much, there is only one woman in Chunxing on weekdays, washing and cooking, cleaning the courtyard, and taking care of Qin Wei's diet and daily life.

Mother Wu is also a veteran of taking care of people, and she takes care of Miss Liu's diet and daily life alone on weekdays, and she is naturally handy after coming to Qin Mansion.

It's just that she always looks at Qin Wei from time to time in her spare time.

At first, Qin Wei didn't care, but later this kind of 'scrutiny' seemed to become more and more blatant, which made people a little embarrassed.

In the front hall, Qin Wei was accounting for the month's accounts, and Wu's mother was wiping tables, chairs and benches on the side, glancing at him from time to time.

Qin Wei finally couldn't help it and asked, "Mother Wu, is there anything dirty on someone?" Why do you think so? ”

Mother Wu hurriedly put down the rag, bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Qin Langjun atoned for his sins, and the slave family was rude......

Qin Wei waved his hand and said, "Don't talk about anything else, just tell me why you always look at a certain person like this?" ”

"This ......" Mother Wu squirmed for a while before she said: "It was ordered by my young lady, and I want the slave family to help him see what kind of person Qin Langjun is on weekdays." ”

Qin Wei subconsciously remembered that gleeful shadow.

"Look at me?"

Mother Wu nodded, took out a handkerchief from her arms and handed it to Qin Weidao: "This is a handkerchief that Miss showed herself, saying that she is grateful for the kindness of Gongzi Qin's repeated help." ”

Qin Wei took the handkerchief, and a string of red beans was embroidered on the white brocade handkerchief.

The red color was as delicate as fire, as if it was dyed with blood, which showed that the owner of this square veil was attentive.
