Lu Lin is here waiting for Chen Xiaolai to come to help, but Chen Xiaocai may really have too much business, and he won't be able to make it through in a while, but Qiu Wei's results came out, and Ji Yun'an became a Tanhua.
"Ji Yunan still has some skills!" Lu Linman sighed.
Chen Xiaomi smiled and said, "Ji Yun'an is already very good! It's you who have been worrying about him all the time, worrying that he will hit the streets."
Lu Lin curled his lips and said, "Maybe this guy is just lucky... Luck is not something you can have casually." Chen Xiaomi said.
This Lu Chengyu didn't seem to pass the exam again. The imperial examination seemed to depend on some impromptu performance, and it might not be better or worse each time.
"Ji Yun'an won Tanhua, so he should be able to enter the Imperial Academy, and he has a bright future!" Chen Xiaomi said.
Lu Lin frowned depressingly. He had been in the officialdom for so many years and was still a county magistrate. Now Ji Yunan entered the Imperial Academy as an editor.
People in the Imperial Academy are the easiest to get promoted. After all, the Imperial Academy is in Kyoto. Even if you are a small official, you are still a close minister of the emperor. If you make a little contribution and report to the higher level, you will naturally be promoted. People like him , I was sent here at once, and was driven there at once. The mountains are long and the roads are far away. Even if a piece of land is managed in an orderly manner, the superiors will not know.
Although it is not easy to get promoted, Lu Lin is already very satisfied with the current situation. In Yucang County, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. He is the boss here.
Lu Lin held his chin and said, "The water in Kyoto is deep."
Lu Lin doesn't like socializing, and he doesn't like the twists and turns in the officialdom. Being a county magistrate in this place, and studying all kinds of delicacies, he has nothing else to ask for.
Chen Xiaomi nodded and said, "Yes!" Although the water in the capital is deep, Ji Yun'an should be able to handle it. The Ji family is a family of generals, and many people have been in the officialdom for a long time, so they will always mention him.
Dashi Village.
Lu Chengyu didn't pass the exam, so he locked himself up again.
"I failed the exam again!"
"It's still too difficult."
"That's right! It's not easy to become a scholar. This scholar is already very good. He can be exempted from tax and corvee."
"Yes! It would be great for Cheng Yu to set up a school in the village!"
"Yes! However, with Cheng Yu's temperament, it's difficult!"
"Cheng Yu is too focused on his studies, those two girls in his family! They are so skinny, they look so pitiful."
Li Fangyue finally gave birth to a son in the first two years. The Tang family finally took a liking to Li Fangyue. With a son, Li Fangyue paid less attention to her two daughters. Lu Chengyu didn't even pay much attention to his son. daughter.
"I heard that the one from Chen Xiaomai's family passed the Tanhua exam."
"Tanhua? That's terrible!"
"That's right, Tanhua?"
"How could it be wrong? This Chen Mai's husband-in-law, who passed the exam a few years ago, just gave up the ranking. Many people are watching this exam, waiting for him to fail the exam and make fun of him. In the end, the result is out. It’s a probing, and it’s spread all over the capital now.”
"That's right! Tanhua is a Wenqu star descending to earth! I didn't expect this silly little Shuanger to find such a smart husband-in-law!"
"Why does such a smart person like wheat!"
"Then who knows! Maybe those smart people like the stupid ones."
"This smart man's head is really strange!"
"I heard that the smarter people are, the more eccentricities they have. Some smart people don't like being an official, but like to travel around the mountains and rivers. There are also some smart people who find it troublesome to be an official, and would rather be a beggar..."
Lujia
Li Fangyue looked at Tang Shi and said, "Mother, Mr. Xiang locked himself in the room again.
Tang Shi nodded and said, "Understood."
Tang Shi went to see Lu Chengyu two days ago, when Lu Chengyu saw Tang Shi, he told her to get out, Tang Shi was a little scared of his son, and retreated in despair.
In the past few years, Lu Chengyu's temper became more and more surly, but the family members counted on Lu Chengyu to be proud, and no one dared to persuade him. As a result, Lu Chengyu's temper became even more surly.
"It's all because the villagers talk nonsense." Tang said sullenly.
In the past few years, Lu Lin has become more and more prosperous outside, and the villagers have become less serious about the Lu family.
Hearing that the person Chen Xiaomai was looking for became Tanhua, Tang felt very sad. Back then, Ji Yunan passed the exam, but gave up his ranking. Tang still felt that Ji Yunan was so complacent that he didn't know where to go when he failed the exam. Crying, Tang Shi didn't expect that there are really geniuses in this world.
In such a comparison, his own son is much inferior.
Tang thought about it again, and felt that the problem was not with his son, since ancient times, a famous teacher produced a high-level apprentice, or that his teacher was too bad, just a scholar.
Tang sighed, somewhat resigned in his heart.
The two elders of the family left and the family separated. After the separation, their contacts with the fourth elder's family decreased.
Lu Chengyu is exempt from tax. Although the land is divided, the land of the fourth family is still under their name.
Tang originally wanted to take advantage of the tax exemption to take advantage of the fourth family, and wanted the fourth family to come and help out when the farming season was busy.
However, the fourth brother, Lu An, was not easy to mess with. He threatened Tang that if Tang did not give their land tax exemption, they would go to the yamen to sue Lu Chengyu for being unfilial. .
This dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, even if the fourth child had no evidence, but if he sued like this, Lu Chengyu's reputation would be stink.
Tang was worried that his son's reputation would be damaged, so he forcibly endured it.
Tang's family is not prosperous, and the two little girls can't help much. When the farming is busy, Tang can only go to the fields by himself. In just a few years, he is ten years old.
After Lu Chengyu passed the exams in the past few years, Tang felt a little discouraged, thinking that his son might be a scholar all his life, but he dared not tell his son.
Sha County.
Shen Chi sat beside Chen Xiaocai, "Everything is done!"
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Yes!" The shops in his hand were cleared out one after another, and so many shops and houses were sold, and they got more than 10,000 taels of silver.
Chen Xiaocai weighed in on the matter of the hot spring for a long time, but he was still not willing to sell it. Chen Xiaolai entrusted the management of the hot spring to Liu Yun.
Originally, Chen Xiaocai wanted to hand it over to General Ji, but considering that General Ji is a busy man, he decided to give it up.
Chen Xiaocai secretly said: He handed over the management of the hot spring to Liu Yun. The people in the patrol battalion were very happy. The people in the patrol battalion even told Chen Xiaolai to rest assured that the people in the patrol camp would take turns to serve in the hot spring. The guards will never allow anyone to destroy the facilities of the hot spring facility.
Whether these people are going to be guards or to play is unknown.
Chen Xiaocai has already made a lot of money in Sha County, and he doesn't have any expectations for the income from the hot springs. He will entrust the hot springs to pay, and he doesn't want the hot springs to be abandoned.
"It's ready to go." Shen Chi said.
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "Brother wrote to say that there are many delicious things in Yucang County."
Shen Chi nodded, and said: "It seems that elder brother has a good life in Yucang County."
Chen Xiaocai nodded and said, "I think it's not bad."
After Chen Xiaocai dealt with the matter at hand, he was ready to set off.
Chen Xiaocai brought a huge sum of money, fearing that something might happen on the road, he found a lot of people to accompany him as guards, and traveled mightily along the way.
After Chen Xiaocai arrived in Yucang County, he first went to the county government office in Yucang County. There were quite a lot of Chen Xiaocai and his party. Chen Xiaocai lived independently from the county government office a few years ago, and there were many workers and servants at home. .
Chen Xiaocai just came to Yucang County, and hadn't found a place to live yet, so he could only live in the county government.
Fortunately, Lu Lin has no concubines, and the population is still small. Chen Xiaocai and others live in, and it is not crowded at all.
These days, rich and noble families have two or three concubines, and county magistrates like Lu Lin mostly have partial houses.
The previous county magistrate of Yucang County married a delicate little girl when he was nearly fifty years old. Lu Lin privately felt that the other party was old and uneducated. However, the general atmosphere of this place is like this, and the little girl is willing Yes, Lu Lin couldn't say anything.
"Brother, this mansion is not bad!" Chen Xiaocai said to Chen Xiaomi.
Chen Xiaomi smiled and said: "Yes! It should be thanks to the blessing of the previous county magistrate."
In contrast, Lu Lin's mansion in Sha County was a bit shabby.
Before, Lu Lin thought that he put a lot of effort into repairing the Shaxian mansion, which made the officials behind him cheaper. After he came to Yucang County, he no longer felt that way.
Three years of Qingzhi County, one hundred thousand snowflakes in silver, it is still very easy for an official to make money!
Chen Xiaocai looked at Chen Xiaomi expectantly, and said, "I heard that after Big Brother Lu came, he researched a lot of delicacies."
Chen Xiaomi nodded, and said: "There are a lot of them. I have prepared a reception banquet for you tonight, and I will definitely let you eat enough."
Hearing what Chen Xiaomi said, Chen Xiaocai couldn't help feeling a little more excited.
Unfortunately, wheat is not here.
Chen Xiaomi thought to himself: Ji Yun'an won Tanhua this time, so there should be a lot of entertainment in the capital, and Maimai probably won't be able to make it through for a while. Fortunately, this place is not very far from Kyoto.
In order to welcome Chen Xiaocai, Lu Lin did prepare a lot of dishes.
Lu Lin has been researching all kinds of delicacies these days, Chen Xiaolai finally came, Lu Lin decided to open his brother-in-law's eyes.
Chen Xiaolai and Shen Chi were indeed shocked by the large table of delicacies.
Chen Xiaocai has made a lot of money this year, and he has eaten a lot of local delicacies. He has also been to Kyoto, and Chen Xiaocai has seen the snacks in Kyoto. The delicious food shocked my brother, it was so delicious. "Chen Xiaocai said excitedly while eating the food.
Lu Lin smiled treacherously, and said: "Eat, eat, eat quickly, after this meal is over, I will drive you out and fire yourself."
Chen Xiaocai: "..." Brother Lin is so deceitful!
Chen Xiaomi smiled, and said: "Don't listen to your brother Lin's nonsense, you can live here as long as you want, and the left and right yamen are very spacious, and they are empty if no one lives there." In Kyoto, Chen Xiaocai had always been in Sha County before, and the three brothers were separated from each other. Chen Xiaomi also missed the two younger brothers very much.
Chen Xiaocai blinked, and said slyly: "Then I have to bother Big Brother for a while longer."
Chen Xiaocai thought to himself: The kitchen seems to have researched a lot of new dishes, and if they move out, they won't be easy to eat.
Chen Xiaomi smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"
Lu Lin snorted lightly, with an arrogant look on his face.
Chen Xiaocai glanced at Lu Lin, and asked flatteringly, "Brother Lin, did you research all these dishes?" It's a local specialty of Yucang County!
Lu Lin said with some pride: "Most of them are the result of my painstaking research."
Chen Xiaomi glanced at Lu Lin, and thought, "Have you worked hard?"
After Lu Lin came to Yucang County, he bought, bought, and ate every day, but he didn't see where the painstaking efforts were.
Chen Xiaolai rolled his eyes and said, "If there is no one in Shaxian County, then Kaijia Restaurant will be full."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "I think so too, and I'm building a restaurant now."
"Brother Lin, I heard that you plan to build a fleet?" Shen Chi asked.
Lu Lin nodded, and said, "Well, that's it. I recently launched a big boat, and I should be able to launch it soon."
Shen Chi said with great interest: "Is that so? Then you can go out to sea by boat and see the scenery on the sea."
Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes!" There is no entertainment in this place, and floating around in the sea seems to be a good way to play. Lu Lin also plans to take a chance to float around in the sea. He can also try to see if he can fish on the boat.
Fishing is still very interesting. Many bosses in previous lives liked fishing. Naturally, these bosses will not be short of fish to eat, and this fishing map is just a lot of fun.
