After a heavy rain, Wang Yiqian and others got a letter from home, telling them that the rice harvest had begun, and that the hired people would give them 20 yuan a day.

The letter from his family was written by his third son, who told him about the autumn harvest and said that he wanted to go out with his classmates to participate in activities on August 15, the day after tomorrow.

It doesn't matter if he participates in the event, the third son mainly said that his mother doesn't give money, and his sister-in-law doesn't give money, and he is ready to borrow some money first and pay it back.

"Alas!" Wang Yiqian sighed deeply, tears falling.

"Yiqian, you are ......" The lieutenant thought that something had happened to the other party's family.

"There were three children in my family, the second child died, and the third child wanted him to study, but he ......"

Wang Yiqian whispered the situation at home to the chief, saying that he was not afraid of spending money, but the money had to be spent in the right place.

"Well......" The lieutenant chief frowned after hearing this, and patted Wang Yiqian's shoulder: "Maybe it's better to be older again." ”

Waiting for lunch, the chief looked for Hanhan, and he himself didn't believe that Wang Yiqian's third son would get better when he was a few years older.

Let him think of a way, but he can't think of it, other people's family affairs, if it weren't for this person being Wang Yiqian, he wouldn't ask.

"Hanhan, do you say it's troublesome?" The lieutenant sighed after telling Han Han about the matter.

Zhu Wentian suddenly laughed: "I thought it was a serious problem!" There is a sentence in the three-character scripture, Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. ”

"Huh? Are you trying to let Wang Yiqian move? This one...... It's not that it can't be done, say hello to Governor Song, and he will agree. ”

"Don't move, move people, send him to the official school in Shangyuan County, just a place." Zhu Wentian shook his head.

"Will it get better when people come over?" The lieutenant was skeptical, even if this was said by the village keeper.

"People came and found someone to set him up, gambled money, and if he lost the gamble, he paid off the debt, and arranged for him to work in the library.

He doesn't have to count on the imperial examination anymore, he won't have a chance next year, and then there will be no more imperial examinations for a long time.

Working in the library is also a livelihood, giving the money he earns to his father, so that his father usually gives it to his family.

He slowly paid off his gambling debts and studied by the way. I don't care about changing people, Wang Yiqian is worth this. ”

Zhu Wentian smiled and told the matter of the pit people, and the smile was simple.

Li Chang swallowed his saliva, and then took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll go discuss with Wang Yiqian." ”

……

The next day, August 14, everyone packed up their things and went home for the holiday, and the construction of the construction site stopped first.

The speed of the boat was not fast, and it was not until three o'clock before arriving at Xiaqiu Village, Wang Yiqian and others brought food and immediately rushed home by car.

In the car, Wang Yiqian told his eldest son Wang Shi about the idea given by Xiaqiu Village, and Wang Laoqian swallowed his saliva after listening to it: "What about my brother and sister?" You can't leave her alone at home. ”

"When your brother stays in the library, send her too, and let Xiaqiu Village help find a job to do and see if you can have a baby."

Wang Yiqian has a plan for this, there is no way, his son does not study well, so he can only do so.

He took out the order given by the Shangyuan County Official School, and then went to the government to find someone and go to the Ningguo County Official School where he was located to open a certificate.

"Look, it's all arranged, Xiaqiu Village helps, otherwise, with your father and my ability, don't want to mobilize people like this in your life."

Wang Yiqian understands the preciousness of the order, Shangyuan County is the county of Yingtianfu, and Ningguo County is incomparable with Shangyuan County.

"I thought I would work all the time, but I didn't expect to let us go home so that we can harvest rice." Wang Laofu remembered the salary of 20 yuan a day for one person.

"Come back immediately after the festival, how much do we earn in a day? Xiaqiu Village is good to us, and we can't delay other people's affairs. ”

Wang Yiqian disagreed, it was not cost-effective in any way, his salary of 200 wen a day.

……

A group of children came back from Xiaqiu Village, and the adults were happy to see if they were thin or tall, and then asked about the things in Nanjing.

After dinner, the villagers made moon cakes according to Hanhan's instructions, which they didn't have time to make last year, but they were all arranged this year.

Nowadays, Daming's moon cakes are generally just made of noodles to make a round cake, there is no filling, and the stuffing has to be a rich and noble family.

For example, the moon cakes sent by the palace have sugar and meat filling in them, which are like pies, but they are actually pies, but they know how to bake them, and they still learn from Xiaqiu Village.

Zhu Wentian was very helpless, he didn't want it, the palace wouldn't do it!

The mooncakes in Xiaqiu Village are divided into baked mooncakes and snowy skin mooncakes, with fillings such as bean paste, green silk roses, nuts, cream, fruits, and meat floss......

In addition, there are molds with auspicious words and patterns written on them, and the snowy mooncakes are dyed with fruits and vegetables, which look crystal clear.

The children are not sleepy, so they are busy together, and they will make a lot of moon cakes today and bring them to the palace.

At the same time, Ningguo Mansion and Taiping Mansion should also be given, Ningguo Mansion should give more, and Taiping Mansion should be reduced.

Shangyuan County and Jiangning County also have to be sent, even if the transaction is in Shangyuan County, who knows when they will sneak into Jiangning County, and they can't always come up to find the prince or the king of Qin when they encounter something.

Everyone was busy until midnight before all the mooncakes were ready.

The moon cakes to be sent away are packed in boxes, with four pieces in a box and eight pieces in a few boxes.

Snowy skin mooncakes are made of ice outside the box, and they taste good.

Out of Yin, Zhu Taiyi and Zhu Taier took ten guards and called the boatmen to set off, first passed by the boatman's house, sent a box of eight moon cakes to their family, and then went to Nanjing.

In this way, there is enough time, and I usually eat at night, and no one cares about eating at noon.

According to records, the moon cakes in the Ming Dynasty were finished and could be eaten until the end of the month.

To put it bluntly, it belongs to the baked dry cakes, and it is used as dry food when it goes out to walk.

……

On the other side of Wang Yiqian's house, his third son Wang Shu was depressed, sleeping at night and tossing and turning.

He was grounded and told the others to borrow money tomorrow, but he couldn't go to the party tomorrow.

Wang Yiqian told his son that there was something important for the festival tomorrow, give him a surprise, he wanted to play, what surprise? obviously didn't want him to go.

The sky was bright, Wang Yiqian beckoned his two sons to get up: "Drink a bowl of porridge in a while, and follow me." ”

"Dad, the meeting of my classmates said that it was about the imperial examination, and I didn't do well in the exam this year because I didn't find a way.

You have to be good with the county officials, and then you have to have someone in Ningguo's mansion, otherwise it's useless to take the test, it's not that the child doesn't study well.

At the meeting that the child went to today, there was someone who could help him, and he had a good relationship with him, and he helped introduce the county officials. ”

Wang Shu is still working hard, using the excuse of going to the door to cover up his incompetence.

"If you look for an official, go directly to it, and the official won't hide from you. Know someone? Hum! Today's saint selects talents, you don't have that ability, and the officials dare to send you up? ”

Wang Yiqian didn't believe it at all, it was really that easy, why didn't Xiaqiu Village arrange it directly? Other people's children study hard, and they don't participate in the imperial examination at all, because they are afraid that they will not be able to.

Xiaqiu Village knows an official? Cooperate with His Royal Highness King Qin to do business!
