For his cheap father-in-law, Fan Jin, who has adapted to his identity, is a little complicated.

This guy is a changeable and snobbish face of a small people in the market.

Until now, Fan Jin remembers the scene when he wanted to take the exam and borrowed money from his old father-in-law, but was rejected on the spot.

"You ask me to borrow a plate, I can't make money by killing a pig a day, and I will throw the silver into the water with you, and call my family to knock the northwest wind!"

However, when he heard that Fan Jinzhong was in the middle of the move, Hu Butcher directly brought four or five thousand yuan to congratulate him, and took the initiative to use the money to reward those who reported the good news.

Fan Jin was polite to him, and Hu Butcher was still uneasy again and again: "A few dollars are not enough for you to reward people!" ”

At this time, four or five thousand yuan, equivalent to four or five taels of silver, was a small amount of money in his eyes.

Before Fan Jin was not lifted, although he was ordered to take the first place in the children's test by Zhou Xuedao, Hu Butcher saw Fan Jin, and the lesson was to open his mouth and give the conclusion that he was: the current treasure, the poor ghost, and the sharp-beaked monkey gills.

And unceremoniously mocked him: "You should pee and take care of yourself!" No, no, no, the toad wants to eat swan meat! ”

Even the head of the Xiucai case in the head of the Fan Jin examination, Hu Tuhu listened to some rumors, and thought that he was merciful and merciful, and did not take him seriously as the head of the Xiucai case.

After Fan Jinzhong's move, Hu Butcher looked at the drastic changes three times and did not hesitate to praise them.

When he met people, he said, "This virtuous son-in-law of mine is highly talented and has a good appearance, even the old men of the Zhang Mansion and the Zhou Mansion in the city do not have such a decent appearance as my son-in-law!" ”

Before and after the middle lift, Hu Butcher's attitude towards Fan Jin was simply a 180-degree turn.

From scolding at every turn to later thanking him, he felt a little unbearable.

After rewarding the reporter, Fan Jin said lightly: "If my father-in-law is not comfortable here, why don't you go into the back room and accompany Jia's mother and inner son to talk, and you need to entertain distinguished guests here." ”

"Master Xian, you are busy, you are busy."

Hu Butcher hurriedly got out of the way.

Naturally, he knew that a distinguished guest would come to the door later, and when he was instructed, he would immediately be pardoned.

Think about it too.

Characters such as Zhang Mansion and Zhou Mansion are qualified to talk to him as a vulgar butcher?

Even with the identity of his father-in-law, Daddy Hu's confidence is still a little insufficient.

For Hu Butcher, although his demeanor is vulgar and he looks like a ninth-rate ordinary person, neither the original owner nor him has much bad feelings.

In the original book, after Fan Jin was developed, he also took Hu Butcher to enjoy happiness, which shows that he does not hate this father-in-law.

Less.

There was a neighing of horses at the entrance of the village, and someone came to report that Master Zhang had come to visit Master Fan of Xinzhong.

Fan Jin flicked his sleeves and went out directly.

As far as the eye could see, it was a well-dressed butler, holding a big red full post in his hand, and ran in, "My master came to visit Master Fan of Xinzhong!" ”

"It's down there." Fan Jin settled down, turned around to greet him, neither humble nor arrogant.

I saw that the squire got off the sedan chair, wearing a gauze hat, a yellow-gray round neck, a gold belt, soap boots, and a smile at the corner of his mouth, but his face was majestic and extraordinary.

The neighbors all dared not come out, no one dared to look directly at them, and they all bowed their heads unconsciously.

Although Fan Jin had never seen anyone coming, he also knew a thing or two about this person.

This Squire Zhang is also from a lifting background, and he also served as a magistrate, alias Jingzhai.

Squire Zhang's eyes fell on Fan Jin, and he immediately nodded and praised it, "If you are dignified, you will be a dragon and a phoenix among people!" ”

Without waiting for Fan Jin to speak, Squire Zhang stepped forward to greet him and said, "I have always lost my closeness with Mr. Fan in Sangzi, please don't blame him." ”

Fan Jin said loudly, "I admired the old gentleman for a long time in my later life, but I didn't have a chance to meet him." ”

Not to mention that Fan Jing is the deputy director of the Comprehensive Office, and the famous long-sleeved dancer is the original owner, and it is no problem to deal with such a small scene.

Fan Jin is by no means a stupid person, not so much a stupid person, but an inner show.

In "The History of Confucianism", Fan Jin was only a talent at the age of fifty-two, and later after being promoted, he died of filial piety for three years because of his biological mother's illness.

But in just a few years, the official fortune was prosperous, and the clouds went straight up, and finally the official residence in Shandong Province was a high-ranking official, a high-ranking official of the fourth grade, a ceiling position that can be called a cold door.

It can be said that in terms of human affection, Fan Jin is definitely second to none.

Even, in addition to Fan Jin's proudest study of the Four Books and Five Classics for half his life, his mastery of sleek and sophisticated officialdom and his outstanding talent for handling interpersonal relationships in officialdom are the root of his success in officialdom.

The complex officialdom is still like a fish in water, let alone this little squire?

Fan Jin gave in slightly, and asked Squire Zhang to come into the back room to speak.

Squire Zhang intended to make friends with this newcomer, and took the initiative to talk: "I saw the inscription list just now, the noble house master Gaoyao County Tang Gong is the protégé of the ancestors, and you and I are cordial brothers. ”

Hearing Squire Zhang mention it, Fan Jin also remembered his room teacher, an ordinary old boy...... It's really hard for this Squire Zhang, in order to make friends, he can still think of this layer.

Before he won the move, Squire Zhang probably hadn't heard of him, and he didn't take him seriously, this move was immediately a kind brother!

"It's a shame to be lucky to be born late." Fan Jin showed favor to Squire Zhang and accepted all the orders.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Squire Zhang finally got to the point.

Looking at the simple thatched house, he muttered slightly: "Mr. Shi is really poor. ”

Immediately, Squire Zhang beckoned to the butler.

The butler came up with a tray covered with a red cloth and a respectful face.

Squire Zhang raised his hand to uncover the red cloth, and seeing Fan Jin's calm expression, he couldn't help but sigh secretly that the other party had an extraordinary bearing, and he was not shocked, "Brother has no respect, I respectfully have fifty taels of congratulations, and Mr. Shi has the right to keep it." ”

"This ......" Fan Jin pretended to hesitate, his expression indifferent.

Not flattered.

It's that he remembered that this Squire Zhang, in order to make friends with Fan Jin, but he also gave a set of three-entry mansions.

Compared with the house, this mere fifty taels of congratulatory silver seems insignificant.

The three courtyards in the county cost hundreds of taels of silver, and they were still priceless, so ordinary people couldn't buy them at all.

Fortunately, Squire Zhang didn't let him wait too long, and slowly took out a deed from his long sleeves and handed it over.

Without waiting for him to refuse, in the tone of someone who came over, he preemptively said: "Mr. Shi's gorgeous residence is actually uninhabitable.

In the future, it will be inconvenient!

My brother has a vacant room, which is on Dongmen Street, with three rooms in three.

Although it is not luxurious and spacious, it is clean and quiet in the end, so I will give it to Mr. Shi. ”

After speaking, he seemed to be worried that Fan Jin would misunderstand, and smiled kindly, "Mr. Shi moved in earlier, and my brother should ask for advice sooner or later." ”

Of course, Fan Jin knew the routine of three requests and three resignations, and repeatedly refused to accept it.

The three entrances and three rooms on Dongmen Street, I am afraid that they are different from other lots, and they are estimated to be worth thousands of taels of silver.

Squire Zhang sighed in his heart that Fan Jin was really a sincere person, and said anxiously: "You and I have a good friendship in the world, just like close relatives, if you want to do this, you will see the outside." ”
