Making money, taking exams, and raising a family in rural imperial examinations

What does a store need to have in order to do business well?Nothing more than two points: good things and good ideas.

Lin Ze's dessert shop has these two advantages, and it is expected that customers come like a cloud, because there are not many places for entertainment in a small place like Nanyang Town, especially for women who have a lot of restrictions on going out.

The business in the store has never been low since its opening, and it has steadily increased over time, so that Zhang Yu, who is holding accounts every day, can wake up smiling when he falls asleep at night.

If this trend continues, the total income of dessert shops will definitely be higher than that of private schools in the future.

If it is not a lowly businessman, to be honest, doing business is really a good way out. Money can't solve everything, but money can definitely solve 99% of people's troubles.

Because they do not intend to expand the business at the moment, after discussing with the husband and wife, the money earned will be used to buy Narita property after leaving the working capital and the money for house repairs.

First of all, ancient land property is the same as modern real estate investment. It is a financial management method that preserves value and saves money safely.

Secondly, of course, I am still worried that the business will affect the future imperial examinations. If I have money, I will naturally become a landlord.

In the end, it is relatively low-key to buy land. As long as I and the local village head who sell the land don't talk too much, I can avoid a lot of troubles caused by "getting rich".

In the past few days, Lin Ze and his wife opened a shop, taught students, and read books and practiced handwriting together. Their lives were very pleasant.

Almost a week after Han Yuanqing's last visit, Han Yuanqing did not come back, but sent someone to send a new invitation card.

On the invitation post, it changed from "invite Lin Ze" to "invite Lin Ze and his family members". It seems that after Han Yuanqing went back to report his opinion last time, Mr. Jiang accepted it.

Lin Ze nodded. He had heard rumors that Mr. Jiang was old-fashioned, but it didn't seem to be the case.

This result was jointly promoted by the husband and wife, but Zhang Yu was still a little apprehensive,

"Sir, in fact, it's okay if Ah Yu doesn't go on such an occasion. I'm worried about those Confucian scholars with your behavior like this..."

"Do you think I'm afraid of husbands?" Lin Ze answered with a chuckle.

"You also said, don't you know that people say that I am a tiger behind my back now, and a lady asked me which temple I went to worship Buddha yesterday?"

Zhang Yu smiled angrily.

In fact, not to mention other people, even he himself thinks that Lin Ze is too fond of him, and it is fine at home on weekdays. In fact, there are many men in the village who love their wives and husbands. his.

This made him both happy and worried. He didn't want his husband to be looked down upon by others because of him.

But to Lin Ze, he didn't think there was anything wrong. In fact, he didn't do this just to spoil his wife.

"Let's just say what they say. We can't live comfortably. Those people are just jealous and treat them as farts."

Lin Ze swears badly, and after kissing his own daughter-in-law, the more she sees the white and tender face, he continues to explain,

"Ah, in fact, I didn't just do this because I wanted to pamper you. Do you still remember what I told you about the fact that we were together outside the Lord? It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, you guys The status of a female brother is too low, it is too difficult to really go out... and the only way to make others pay attention is the attitude of the husband and the mother's family."

"We can't do the latter, but the former is over there. Not only do I want to show them my attitude, I also want to let them know that you can make decisions on my behalf at any time. When I'm not around in the future, you will have the absolute right to speak, otherwise Those people are picking on soft persimmons to bully."

"Then, what do you mean, Mr. Xiang, that this Huixian Banquet we want to..." Show the limelight?

Zhang Yu opened his eyes wide and swallowed, feeling too nervous.

Lin Ze smiled,

"Just play by ear. Since the invitations we received have family members, I believe that other Confucian scholars will also bring their husbands and wives. Mr. Jiang is not really that old-fashioned. I believe that this Huixian exchange I think the banquet will be the most lively and intense ever."

"But my husband, I don't have any talent. Those talented ladies must be very powerful. I'm afraid that when the time comes..."

Zhang Yu had a pitiful expression, a little unconfident.

Lin Ze raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Who said we have to compete with them in talent? Your husband and I are half-baked in poetry and poetry. Isn't that an exchange feast? To put it bluntly, it's bickering, whoever is afraid of nonsense, when the time comes The leather monkey is also taken to see the world."

Zhang Yujiong, "Sanggong..." It seems that someone in the village held a wedding banquet for Sanwen Qian and Lijin and took the whole family to eat, drink, and shamelessly drive away~

"They wrote it themselves and their family members. They are teachers for one day and fathers for life. Those monkeys are my good sons. My sons must be raised since childhood!"

Lin Ze made a serious statement with a cheeky face.

Zhang Yu, who gave up treatment, tried hard to tell herself: Marry and obey your husband, marry and obey your husband, marry and obey your husband...

***********

Qingshan County's Huixian Banquet is at the private school this weekend.

Now that he decided to bring the monkey from the private school to meet the world, Lin Ze gave the children a day off first, and went back to inform their parents and prepare their luggage.

Anyway, this trip to Qingshan County will have to be delayed for at least two days. It is considered a long trip, so I must inform my parents.

At the same time, Lin Ze had to find a few strong men as guards, in order to avoid accidents in the middle, and he would not be able to compensate for the darlings of these families bumping into him.

Lin Ze has no choice but to bring this group of children to see the world and learn from practice.

The children's test is held every two years, and the next child's test is two years later. If there is no accident, he plans to let these children take the child's test in two years, so he has to complete all the teaching content within the specified time. It cannot be delayed casually.

The child didn't know Lin Ze's good intentions, and he was very happy to know that he could go to the county town to play.

There are few children in the village, and the young master of the merchant's family only knows Nanyang Town. Few people go to the county town, and those who have never been out of the house are full of yearning for the outside world.

When the parents heard that Lin Ze was going to take their children to some literati gathering in the county, they were so shocked and happy that they couldn't speak.

The first reaction of all the parents of the merchants was to slap the table and laugh. This time they found the right husband for their son!

Although I don't know what the status of Huixian Exchange Banquet is in the circle of Confucian scholars and literati, but as far as the gathering of literati is concerned, even a fool knows how noble it is.

They have lived to such an old age, and they haven't heard that there are a few gentlemen from private schools who can win this kind of opportunity for students to meet the world. Lin Ze's handwriting is definitely far beyond. The length of vision is the most important factor in determining a person's future stage One of the effects.

Of course, Lin Ze's move made the other masters hear the news, and couldn't help but feel contempt and anger again.

It's not that these masters are too useless and incapable of taking their own students to see it, but that Lin Ze is too thick-skinned. This kind of invitation card to take a dozen people there is only done by Lin Ze, a shameless person. come out!

But no matter how it looks from the outside, anyway, Lin Ze is happily taking his 'beautiful sons' to set off for Qingshan County together.

Regarding what will happen at the banquet, how to deal with it, and being made things difficult by then, Lin Ze is not worried at all. He has no advantages at all, except that he has a good heart and strong adaptability.

Anyway, a "dark horse" like him who was suddenly invited must be made things difficult when he gets to the place. No matter how much he worries now, it's useless, so why not let himself relax and feel more comfortable?

So according to the time of the exchange banquet, Lin Ze set off early.

And I brought a lot of food and drink in my luggage. The ox carts stopped and went all the way, and I stopped to rest when I saw a good view. I set up a fire and had a barbecue or a picnic to solve the problem of eating. It was completely relaxing in the outing.

He didn’t let go of wild vegetables and fruits. As a gentleman, he just rolled up his sleeves and took the lead to run into the mud and climb up the trees. When he got interested, he even imitated the wolf howl of “嗤嗤”, scaring away the birds and beasts in the distant mountains and forests. .

He even flaunted it to the students, "Did you see it? This is called the Birds of Thousand Mountains Flying Absolutely. Isn't this poem easy to understand..."

The students who suddenly realized it were full of admiration:

Still Mr. Lin is amazing!In the last class, Mr. Fang said that they didn't understand the whole class!

Seeing this, Mr. Lin continued to add fuel to the fire,

"Pluck all the fruits from this tree, and find some materials when you get to the county town. The master will teach you a trick, how to use the fruits to light a fire."

"Huh? Sir, can fruit be like a flint and steel to kindle a fire?"

"Nonsense! Everything is possible in front of my husband. Remember, I will test this sentence next week. Now come up and pick fruits with my husband, and we will implement the three-light policy."

"Understood, sir, we are sure that the geese will pass without leaving feathers, and the locusts will pass without leaving grass!"

The little monkey continued to worship.

Then someone rolled up their sleeves and ran over, turning into a group of tree-climbing monkeys, to ravage the wild fruit tree that had finally grown a few fruits.

Fang Shanyuan, who was fortunate enough to accompany him because the course could not be delayed, was in an extremely complicated mood...

What makes Fang Shanyuan most desperate is not returning these "big monkeys and little monkeys", but Zhang Yu.

He knew a little about Lin Ze's unreliable temper. As for Zhang Yu, he usually looked well-behaved and sensible, and he did things safely and quickly.

In Fang Shanyuan's view, the reason why Lin Ze has such an unreliable personality but can make a difference is that Zhang Yuxian's assistant managed him well and guided him well.

In the end, he never expected that Zhang Yu was the most unreliable one!

Lin Ze wanted to climb a tree, Zhang Yu was eager to try and follow him to cheer;

Lin Ze wanted to barbecue on a whim, Zhang Yu's eyes lit up and went to pick up firewood to make a fire;

Lin Ze was talking nonsense and nonsense, while Zhang Yu slapped his hands and showed admiration beside him...

Then Lin Ze is a peacock again. The more his wife admires him and agrees with him, the more he will be embarrassed, and then he can't wait to show his abilities like a peacock.

It took them several hours to walk (play) forcibly for two days before arriving at Qingshan County.
