Chapter 3 When today's article is heavy, why talk about the Han and Tang dynasties

After Fan Jin excused himself several times, he reluctantly accepted the silver and the deed and thanked him.

After Squire Zhang left, Hu Butcher came out of the back room in shock.

That expression made Fan Jin a little unbearable.

Daddy Hu is sweating all over his head, like a tiger encountering a sliding shovel!

"Virtuous son-in-law, you are a Wenqu star, and you should have a relationship with that squire."

Hu Butcher waved his big hands like a fan, patted his chest, and forced himself to calm down, but his heart was already in turmoil.

Squire Zhang is his old customer, and the house purchases four or five thousand catties of meat every year.

During the New Year's holidays, I have to send some gifts to the subordinates of that Zhang Mansion and say all the good things in order to maintain this long-term stable business and get a share.

The identities of the two are very different, but I didn't expect that even such a big man would come to visit his cheap son-in-law in person, and his words were cordial and easy-going.

And the son-in-law who can't beat a fart with three sticks in his impression not only has a relationship with Squire Zhang's peers, but also treats people with no fault.

Fan Jin talked to Daddy Hu for a while, and he couldn't rest assured that the Hun family and the old lady who were hiding in the back room, so he walked into the back room with a tray.

"Brother Jin!"

As soon as Fan Jin lifted the curtain, a familiar figure crashed into his arms.

Of course, he knows that this is his Hun family, that is, the wife of the dregs who shares weal and woe with Fan Jin.

"Hun family, I've suffered you all these years!"

Fan Jin was stunned, and then gently patted the other party's shoulder, and his deep voice was full of concern.

At this moment, he had time to look at his 'bad wife'.

Frankly speaking, Fan Hu's image is difficult to get in touch with beauty, and it is even a little unbearable to look at directly.

A pair of red-trimmed eyes, a nest of yellow hair, and no pair of shoes under his feet......

In Fan Jin's memory, Hu Yingying in the past was not like this, she was a first-class Peugeot beauty.

Otherwise, Hu Butcher would not be delusional.

In the early years, how many wealthy families wanted to marry Hu Butcher and marry Hu Yingying, but they were mercilessly rejected by Hu Butcher, who was bent on climbing high branches by marrying his daughter.

And what you rely on is not Hu Yingying's posture!

But it's a pity that Hu Butcher is a pig killer with a low social status, and no decent man will marry a butcher's daughter......

Not to mention that there are rumors that Hu Yingying seems to be with the nerd Fan Jin's childhood sweetheart, and the two have no guesses.

The marriage between Fan Jin and Hu Yingying was still delayed until Hu Yingying was thirty years old, and when he saw that he was about to smash it in his hands, Hu Butcher was relieved.

"Hun family, look." Fan Jin smiled and handed the tray containing silver taels to Hu Yingying.

Hu Yingying was stunned for a moment, opened it and found that it was a snow-white filament ingot, and said in a trembling voice: "Where is so much silver?" ”

"The squire gave it to me." Fan Jin explained.

"When will it be enough to spend all this money?" Hu Yingying swallowed with difficulty.

On weekdays, not to mention the Fan family, even her mother's Hu family, can't take out so much silver.

You must know that every day, Hu Butcher gets up to kill pigs on the fourth watch, and he is tired and tired, and he can't earn two taels of silver in a month.

That's it, the Hu family is already a radius of ten miles, and the number of rich people is not much stronger than the mud legs that are picked up in the field!

Because of this, Hu Butcher has always been above the top of the surrounding neighbors, and he doesn't look down on it.

What is the concept of fifty taels?

It is estimated that Hu Butcher has worked hard in his life, and it is still unknown whether he has saved fifty taels of silver.

Not to mention that because of the subsidy for his daughter and son-in-law in the early years, he annoyed his two sons, and they lived separately, and most of Daddy Hu's family was divided.

Now it is no longer as beautiful as it was back then!

Fan Jin chuckled, "This is where it goes." ”

In the past few days, there will never be a small number of people who are in a hurry to send money, fields, mansions, and servants.

Unlike Xiucai, who only has face and no lining, lifting people is not an idle character, there has always been only poor Xiucai, and I have never heard of a poor person.

In addition to the benefits of preferential exemption from land taxation and forced labor, the most realistic thing is to have the qualifications to be officials.

Like Squire Zhang, he took shit luck and successfully became a county magistrate!

Even if you can't be elected to the office, it doesn't matter, but you have a considerable say in local governance.

If the county order represents the imperial power, then the squire is definitely the emperor of the soil, and he is regarded as the invisible ruler of the locality, and many times the county order needs to express a friendly attitude towards the local squire, and negotiate and cooperate with the squire.

Scholars, farmers, industrialists, and merchants, don't look at the businessmen's big fish and meat, silk and satin, but with today's Fan Jin's status, it is easy to grasp those rich people with no background.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the county's most prominent figures to send congratulatory gifts, and many people came in person.

The carriage full of generous gifts came one after another, which simply opened the eyes of the villagers of Fanjia Village.

The gifts given by the big merchants are the most real, mostly cash, house deeds, land deeds, silk and satin, maids and slaves......

Fan Jin directly accepted it all.

After a rough calculation, it is estimated that there are two or three thousand taels of assets.

As for who didn't give a gift?

Hmph, he Fan may not remember who sent it and how much, but who didn't send it, he knows it clearly.

Fortunately, the big merchants who can be mixed are all old fritters, and no one dares to be sloppy in this matter.

"It's a pity that there are not a few times in a lifetime such an opportunity to receive windfalls."

Fan Jin has some inches, and the people's hearts are insufficient.

There is nothing wrong with receiving the gifts from the merchants in their entirety, and there will be no future troubles.

For merchants, it is no different from burning incense and worshipping Buddha, except that they worship a living Buddha who controls their future and destiny.

Who has ever seen the Buddha push out the sesame oil money in his hand?

Whether you collect money or not, that's not the mood of the Buddha!

The students and literati in the county also came to give gifts.

Most of them are the four treasures of the first-class study, or they are rare exotic flowers and plants, rare ancient books, and all kinds of playthings that can be played.

It seems that the slightest smell of copper insults their noble conduct.

In order to make friends, a group of showmen also looked like students asking for advice.

scheming, in the name of asking him to be corrected, tried to invite him to be famous through carefully prepared poems.

Fan Jin was a little speechless.

Whether it is him or the original body, he is not good at poetry and songs.

Poetry and songs, wind and snow, for a student like Fan Jin, who was born in a poor family, is a luxury.

As soon as his mind moved, Fan Jin's demeanor was majestic, and he said with a straight face: "When today's article is important, why do you need to talk about the Han and Tang Dynasties?" ”
