After Xu He left, Xu Dai didn't fork his mouth and said: "Big brother, that kid is arrogant and rude to his elders, and you even rewarded him with five taels of silver?" ”

Xu Song was a little tired, and he glanced at his younger brother.

Xu Dai's poetry is unique, and he was once invited to write a couplet in the Gaomei Pavilion of Bailu Cave: "The peaks are already comfortable, and there is the highest pavilion." The people of the time were full of praise.

But he also has his problems, because his father Xu Fan was born after he was born after he became a jinshi, so he developed the habit of a rich son, studying and studying, fishing and drying nets, treating people and things, and Shunchang rebelled.

In the end, he spent half his life on the road to the imperial examination, and at the age of forty, he was rewarded by his father and became an eight-grade petty official of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate.

He patiently analyzed to his second brother: "The Huang family has just been awarded the Jinshi recently, and there is a faint sign of making a fortune, if they don't provoke others, how can the orphans and widows of the Xu He family cause trouble?" ”

"Besides, don't you know what's going on on the ethnology side? Your son Xu Luan is making a fortune in it, making the clan study smoky, Xu Hexian has heard about it, how can he jump in and suffer that wronged anger? ”

The brothers naturally spoke straightforwardly, but Xu Dai was blushing by the eldest brother at this time.

He gritted his teeth and scolded: "I'll clean up this muddy bastard who doesn't grow up when I go back!" ”

Xu Song sighed and didn't say anything, although the second brother wanted to clean up his son Xu Luan, but he never mentioned the matter of letting Xu Luan go to Yin County, it seemed that the Feng family in Yin County wanted to find a way to refuse.

Although the prestige of the Feng family has been declining over the years, there are still some people in Shilin, and the Xu family's choice to regret marriage at this time will inevitably make them laugh at "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".

It's hard to do!

Xu Song rubbed his eyebrows, and the worry on his face increased by two points.

Seeing this, Xu Dai asked: "Big brother, isn't it just a matter of juniors, don't take it to heart, you have a good rest, I'll just go and tell you the rest below!" ”

Xu Song shook his head: "I have been a jinshi for more than 30 years, and there is no child in the clan who has been successful in studying. ”

Seeing the indifferent look on the second brother's face, Xu Song said bitterly: "I know you think it's not bad now, but have you ever thought about it, after I die, people will go to tea and cool, where will the Xu family go?" ”

Xu Dai didn't fork his mouth and said: "Then there is no need to treat a junior who is not even a child......

Xu Song said solemnly: "Stupid! My generation of poetry and books are heirlooms, and some people in the clan are successful in reading, regardless of the large or small sects, they must be treated equally! Then Xu He can read four books after three years of study, "Poems" is also involved, and the article is even more done, such a talent is still his own clan, are you not going to push it out? ”

Xu Dai responded on his face, but he didn't think it was so easy in his heart: "Do you really think it's so easy to study and become an official?" Regardless of the imperial examination step by step, just talk about the eight-strand composition, which is also a slap and a hand of blood, and I learned it hard, Xu He is young, and it may not be good! ”

……

The thoughts of the two family members over there are not expressed for the time being, but when Xu He came home from Xu Song's mansion in the dark, it was already raining lightly in the sky.

When he got home, Xie was standing at the door and waiting for his son uneasily.

Seeing Xu He, Xie immediately opened his umbrella to greet him: "Son, what is Uncle Song looking for you over there?" ”

Xu Song saw his mother's cautious appearance, and his heart warmed: "It's okay, it's just that the uncle heard that I won the county case exam, encouraged me to study hard in the future, and gave my son a reward of five taels of silver!" ”

"Five taels!" Xie exclaimed.

The price of silver during the period from the Great Wei Dynasty to the Zheng Dynasty was equivalent to more than 1,000 yuan in later generations.

got five or six thousand at once, which is a huge amount of money for the Xie family.

"I used to hear your father say that there is a golden house in the book, but now I think about it!"

Xu He's father Xu Wei was also admitted to Xiucai that year, and Xu He's family is also considered to be an heirloom, Xie learned from her husband that reading is important, which is why she has to provide Xu He with education no matter how hard it is.

Seeing that his mother was sad, Xu He hurriedly helped her into the house to rest.

After washing up and going to bed, the hardwood bed made Xu He, who was used to sleeping Simmons, toss and turn.

Today's Lin Lin always flashes in his mind like a movie.

For the first time since he came to this world, he calmed down and thought about it.

Others crossed over either the emperor, or the prince, and at the very least, the illegitimate son of an emperor.

It's good for me, it's a small sect when I come, and I almost gave a free trip three thousand miles away when I met.

It's thanks to the fact that I didn't mess around when I was in school, otherwise I would have had my own life today.

Thinking of this, he suddenly jumped up from the bed.

"That's right, I'm a traverser, so it's reasonable not to give me some gold fingers?"

He looked at the bedroom by the moonlight: "Maybe there's something good!" ”

I saw him grab the brush and check the inkstone quilt one by one, but he found nothing, and even knocked every brick of the earthen wall......

"He'er, go to bed early, and you have to read when you get up tomorrow morning!"

"Forehead ......"

Wrong direction? Will the treasure be condemned by blood?

Looking at the tip of the pen, which was balder than the director's head, Xu He gave up the idea of holding his hand with a knife.

"Could it be that the gods gave me the pen of Linchuan in their dreams? Or is it Jiang Lang's five-color pen? ”

Xu He hurriedly went to bed and lay down to sleep.

But the old fairy didn't come, but his stomach was growling with hunger.

"No, let's think about how to make money in this house first!"

Although five taels of silver can support him for a while, in Xu He's memory, in order for him to go to school, the Xie family borrowed a lot of foreign debts, and he fought the autumn wind many times from his uncle alone.

"Uncle's family is three or two, it is important to prepare some gifts when you come to pay back, otherwise your face must not look good!"

"Uncle A owes three dollars!"

"Xie Fuzi's restraint has been delayed for more than a month, and if you don't give it again, you will have to stand under the eaves of the porch to listen to the lecture!"

……

After thinking about it for a long time, it is estimated that the five taels of silver have just been obtained, and they will have to spend it before they can be heated.

Xu He, who was married in his previous life, knows that no matter what society it is, a bachelor is okay now, and when you have a wife and children, you think that if you don't smoke or drink, you are a good husband, but in the end you find that if you don't have money, you can't even be a good person.

Xu He didn't think about making glass, inventing cement, making steel, or something.

However, back then, they were divided into arts and sciences, and he was a well-known partial subject.

If history and politics can make cement, then Xu He doesn't have to worry about it now.

"Sure enough, it's useless, it's a scholar!" Thinking of this, Xu He sighed and looked at the thatched roof blankly.

At this time, he thought of Huang Youcai again, and he didn't know how Li County's order would send him after the county test was over.

But there is no doubt that he will definitely not be able to pass the county test.

"In this way, the feud is deep, and we have to find a way to end this......"

At this time, the light rain outside the window gradually stopped, and the stars hung in the sky.

The night breeze of early spring blows the window lattice, and the curled window paper rattles.

In this monotonous voice, Xu He gradually fell asleep.
