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

Accidentally saved the newly appointed magistrate's servant husband, and won the favor of a county magistrate, which was a pleasant surprise.

Before the county magistrate Wang was about to be transferred, Lin Ze was still worried about what to do if the next county magistrate was not easy to get along with. After all, one side is land and the other is god. , the relationship must be well established.

Looking at the big picture from a young age, the drowning servant husband is now a sensible man who does not rely on his status. The new county magistrate should not be too difficult to deal with.

Accept the favor jade ball, say goodbye to the other party, and delay for a while, Lin Ze and Zhang Yu are not in the mood to go shopping anymore.

The couple bought a few packs of snacks that tasted good just now, and then went to the iron shop to get the copper wire, steel wire nails and other materials that were previously ordered, and then returned directly to the inn.

Li Sheng's group of children are all twitching and difficult to control, but they are unexpectedly suppressed by Lin Ze and they are submissive. Even if there are complaints about the things Lin Ze explained, they all work hard to complete them.

Well, the main reason is that I’m really afraid of Lin Ze’s unconventional ways of manipulating people. I’m not afraid of being beaten or scolded, but I’m afraid of unknown things.

The child stayed in the inn and honestly followed Fang Shanyuan to make up for the lessons that had fallen in the past few days. The intermittent recitation and questions and answers from the teacher and students came from the room, making passers-by in the corridor stop and wonder.

Even the innkeeper who heard the sound guessed that they were private school students and husbands, and even kindly sent a bowl of meat buns for free.

The things are not too expensive, but this is the first time that the children experience the sense of superiority brought by reading outside. They are novel and proud. When Lin Ze and Zhang Yu come back, they will all ask for credit and show off.

Book knowledge is important, but this kind of things learned in life events can also affect a person's life.

Seeing the growing interest in learning in the eyes of the children, Lin Ze once again felt that it was the right choice for him to bring everyone out.

Chinese exam-oriented education can lay a solid foundation, while Western open education can improve children's interest and creativity.

However, the modern education system has been fully developed, and it is difficult to reform it. However, in ancient times, because the reading group is small and the master has a great voice, he can try one or two.

Thinking about it, he dragged the little ones to the backyard of the inn at night.

In the expectant eyes of the students, I used the wild lemons picked on the road to teach everyone a little physics knowledge. After getting the amazement of the little monkeys and Fang Shanyuan, I called everyone back to the room to rest and recharge my spirits to participate in Huixian tomorrow. feast.

But before going to sleep, Lin Ze thought of the drowning brother he met earlier.

"Ah, do you feel that the little brother who drowned today is a bit kind, I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere, no, it should be said that the previous 'Lin Ze' probably saw it, Ah, you stayed in the village very well It's been a long time, and I know more people than me, do you have any impression?"

Strange to say, it was clearly the first time we met, but Lin Ze felt that the little brother he met during the day was very kind and impressive.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Yu also thought about it carefully. He didn't pay much attention at the time, but now he thinks about the little brother and he seems to feel a little kind.

"Sister, it seems to be a bit kind, but it may be a coincidence. I heard that the newly appointed county magistrate is this year's new champion, and he is also from the capital. His servant Lang is definitely not an ordinary person. It is impossible for him to come to our Nanyang town. Such a small place…”

"That's true, but this time we got such a big favor from the new county magistrate by accident. We will save a lot of trouble in the future. We are lucky. I don't want others, so come over here. The bed is too narrow. My husband hugged me You'll save yourself from falling in the middle of the night."

Lin Ze nodded in agreement, and reached out to grab the daughter-in-law beside him into his arms. She can't eat, so it's okay to touch and kiss, hehe.

High-sounding!

Zhang Yu's face was not angry, but when Lin Ze caught him, his body habitually leaned over, his head resting on his husband's increasingly strong chest, and he smiled affectionately.

******

On the other side, at the county magistrate's mansion, the atmosphere was tense tonight.

Master Jun fell into the water when he went out, and when the master came back, he was furious and punished Xiao Ye Zi, who took care of the master, and even the old housekeeper, and even the eldest lady was reprimanded.

Although everyone knew that Master Jun was the master's heart, but they did not expect the master to value it so much, so that Master Jun could save the face of the eldest lady in front of all their servants.

"Hua Yueshu, you are so stupid, don't treat everyone as a fool! Jun'er is going out today, and the house is too busy to send someone. How did it happen that someone fell into the water today? If you don't have that brain, don't play queen The house is private, don't lose face to Miss Shangshu!"

Duan Wensai was so angry that he directly lifted the shelf where his favorite porcelain vases were placed, staring at the gorgeously dressed woman in front of him, he almost couldn't help but kill him.

He had known that Hua Shuyue was a young lady with a temper and a serious jealousy, but he didn't realize that this woman would really dare to attack, and she almost killed Brother Jun in just a short while.

"I greeted you long before we got married. You can marry me if you want, and I will give you the position of Duan Wensai's main room. I will not accept other people. But I have only one request, enter Treat Jun'er well when you come out of the door, don't do those dirty things for me, be honest and let's live in peace, live a good life, if you don't want to get married, just let it go, and be a rarity to marry you!"

"What did you say at the time? You've forgotten all about it now, right? Well, if you're the first grader, don't blame me for being the fifteenth. Since you have to listen to even a fly in this county magistrate's office, then you have to listen to me in this place." Just live by yourself, I'll buy another courtyard right away! And don't go to Mr. Jiang's banquet tomorrow, with your brain, I, Duan Wensai, can't afford to be ashamed!"

A series of angry voices cursed out, and people shivered and shivered, Hua Yueshu felt wronged.

The Duan family is a good family member, and Duan Wensai is the champion of this year's new subject, but she is also Miss Shangshu, just for the sake of being a house servant, how could she bear Duan Wensai's embarrassment to her like this.

Hua Yueshu was very unconvinced,

"He's just a lowly slave who can't even be compared to my personal servant girl. So what if I deal with him? Besides, what evidence do you have to prove that I threw him into the river, and he ordered the cheap Fubo to go out and fall into the river?" Why blame me! Woohoo, Duan Wensai, you have no conscience, you actually slapped me like this, I am Mrs. Zheng, and if I say he is wrong, he will be wrong..."

"I have no conscience? If I have no conscience, I will leave you in the capital as a widow this time! If you are the wife who says you are wrong, then whoever is wrong is right, then I am the master and if you say you are wrong, you will be wrong, so what about you? Ha ha."

Duan Wensai was laughed out of anger,

"Stop crying, mourning and grievances for me. You know how our marriage came about. Your parents are greedy for my family's connections, and my parents are greedy for your family's official position and convenience. We are married for profit, and no one loses. I will fight with you I have someone in my heart, since you know you are willing, what are you talking about and crying for grievances?"

"I've given you all the fame, fortune, and status you want. There is no one else in the backyard except Jun'er. I have done everything I promised you, but what about what you promised me?"

"..."

Hua Yueshu was aggrieved and dumb, wasn't she too confident at the time!Who knew you'd be such an infatuated seed!

Seeing her expression, Duan Wensai really regretted which eye was blind at the beginning and thought that this woman was smart and could reach an agreement of respecting each other. This is obviously a fool.

But idiots also have the advantages of idiots, that is, they don't play tricks shrewdly, and it's not that difficult to deal with them.

"Hua Yueshu, remember, this is the last time. I will take Jun'er out to live in the other courtyard after I buy it. Do whatever you want with this courtyard. You'd better shut up the mouths of these people. , otherwise if there are any rumors, you can stay with me in Qingshan County for the rest of your life."

"Anyway, I don't mind. The mountains here are beautiful and the water is good. I live comfortably with Jun'er. I'm not interested in the struggle for power and profit in the capital. I feel very comfortable as the county magistrate..."

"By the way, Jun'er already has it. I will help him to be Hirao after the child is born. If you are restless, don't force me to take back the housekeeper's seal from your hand. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and no one will do it again." Can't control me!"

Not wanting to say any more, Duan Wensai sneered and left a few words, then walked away quickly to the West Wing.

Hua Yueshu was so angry that her face turned green and she stomped her feet, and smashed things in the room again.

Where did she make a mistake at the beginning so she was so confident that she could handle Duan Wensai?

……

Duan Wensai didn't pay any attention to the movement behind, just smashed and made trouble casually, he was anxious about Brother Jun's situation.

Although the doctor said that the person is fine and the fetus is safe, he is still worried. The little brother is much more fragile than the girl when he is pregnant, and a little carelessness is a big problem.

However, as the doctor said, brother Jun is in good health, and was rescued in time from drowning. Apart from feeling a little cold, there is no serious problem.

Under Jun's funny eyes, Duan Wensai looked up, down, left, and right several times before he felt relieved, but he was still terrified.

Take your loved one to bed to rest, comfort,

"I'll buy another hospital tomorrow, and buy a new batch of servants to clean up. Don't take anyone there except Xiao Yezi. They are all arranged by my mother. I don't worry... The doctor said you suffered a little bit." Han, stay in the courtyard of the West Wing for the next few days and don’t go out, there is a separate kitchen in the small courtyard, Aunt Rong will make the things for you in person.”

"Young master, I will be careful."

Brother Jun nodded meekly, and he has become a servant. The title of young master that he has cultivated for many years still cannot be changed.

Duan Wensai couldn't help laughing, but it was special for Jun'er to call him this title. Compared with letting Jun'er and the woman in the east room call him husband, he still prefers to listen to Jun'er's young master.

The man he had raised for many years finally became his husband.

"Sleep, rest well, and when you recover, the young master will personally accompany you to Nanyang Town to find your elder brother. After returning to your roots, our child will be a serious son in the future, and no one can make a fuss about your father and son's parentage... "

"I just don't know what kind of temperament my brother has, whether the Lin family is willing to let my mother go back in the name of the main wife, and let me enter the Lin family tree."

"It doesn't matter, Master has done a lot of bullying in the capital. I'm not afraid of being played again when I go back. At worst, I'll stay here in Qingshan County for the rest of my life."

Duan Wensai patted his lover on the head with a big heart.

--------------------------

Meimei had a good night's sleep to recharge her energy, and the next day Lin Ze went to wake up the children who were still sleeping late to clean up their appearance.

There is a bell in the private school to remind everyone to get up on time on weekdays, but there is no sound for the past two days, so I relax my vigilance and everyone becomes a lazy pig.

Lin Ze didn't want to wake people up so early, but who made the ancient hair difficult to comb, so there is no need to waste time on it if it is shorter like modern boys' hair.

These children have only practiced their self-care ability for two weeks, and they can only say that they can do it at present. Lin Ze still has a headache to help these children comb their hair when they go out to meet people.

Therefore, all the work of helping the children to arrange their hair and clothes was troublesome to Zhang Yu and Fang Shanyuan. It would take an hour for the 12 children to finish it, and it would be impossible not to get up early.

After finally cleaning up and eating some steamed buns and porridge provided by the inn, Lin Ze took the big guys to the designated restaurant for the banquet... Jinquelou.

Mr. Jiang's Huixian Banquet has been held in Qingshan County for many years.

This banquet began to be organized shortly after Mr. Jiang came to settle in the county. The purpose was to gather Confucian scholars and talented scholars from the surrounding area to meet, exchange experiences, and broaden their horizons. It was held once a year.

Lin Ze was no stranger to Jiang Lao. He was a very famous and well-known old Confucian scholar in Qingshan County.

Not only is he famous for raising people, but he also joined the Dawen School, one of Daji's most famous schools. If his personality was not suitable for officialdom, he would have established himself in the imperial city long ago. Therefore, Mr. Jiang with such a background can be said to be a true scholar in Qingshan County. It is highly respected, and it is incomparable with Wei Hongyan's kind of completion.

For the talented Confucian scholars in Qingshan County, being able to attend the Huixian Banquet is definitely very honorable and honorable.

And as the restaurant that hosts the Huixian Banquet every year, Jinquelou is also the best restaurant in Qingshan County. When it comes to the exchange banquet, the owner of the restaurant also puts great effort into arranging the venue, and must entertain these talented scholars. The restaurant is famous It's better.

When Lin Ze took the students to the place, he saw the rows of thugs standing up to maintain order, and felt that the scene was pretty good.

So of course, he brought a group of children as if to 'find fault', and he was the key object of order inspection.

The shopkeeper in charge of the restaurant looked at the number of people behind him in a daze for a long time before reacting. He deeply felt that this kind of invitation card brought a group of 'family members' to eat and drink. He couldn't be the master. He had to despise the master of the banquet!

Not surprisingly, Han Yuanqing, who was sent by his teacher, was also sweating when he saw Lin Ze's battle.

What the hell, this guy brought more than a dozen people here with an invitation card, I've never seen such a shameless person!

"Lin, brother Lin, these are... your family members?"

"Yes, as the saying goes, one day is a teacher and life is a father. These students are my good sons."

Lin Ze was very calm and made a serious statement.

The little monkeys nodded excitedly, and cooperated with the random recognition of their father, "Father..."

"What about him?"

Han Yuanqing pointed at Fang Shanyuan, and in his eyes it was clearly written, 'Your son has the ability to recognize a son! '

Lin Ze was extremely calm and shameless,

"Our private school pays attention to the family relationship between teachers and students, and he is my brother."

"..."

Facing a guy like Lin Ze with more skin than an onion, Han Yuanqing chose to give up the treatment and let him go with a wave.

So, under the gaze of everyone, Lin Ze led a group of followers into the lobby of the restaurant, and let everyone stare at them and whisper to each other. The calm as a mountain family occupied a table.

Fang Shanyuan lowered his head, desperately wanting to find a hole in the ground.

The children are very adaptable, looking around curiously, excited about novel things.

Everyone in the restaurant saw this scene, and after they were seated, Xiao Er came up and put down the identity wooden sign of "Nanyang Town Lin Xiucai", and realized that he was Lin Ze, who has been hotly discussed in the circle recently.

Immediately, I couldn't hold back my secret thought, this Lin Ze really acted as absurd and unruly as the rumors...

What Lin Ze didn't know was that, under the unconvincing propaganda of his arch-enemy Master Wei, he is now very famous in the circle of Confucian scholars in Qingshan County. His "heroic deeds", big and small, including those in the village, are shared by everyone. heard.

After hearing about him, most of the reactions were basically one:

So unruly!Too much nonsense!How unfilial!How insulting!

As a talented man, how can he get started with the general knowledge of the villagers?How can a son take the initiative to propose such a thing as divorce?

Even if the stepmother is too much, she is still an elder anyway, how can this kid be disrespectful to his elders?

What's even more embarrassing is that Lin Ze actually recruited students from merchants with great fanfare, and he still paid a lot of money to study. If it gets out, what will people think of them as scholars?

Anyway, things didn't happen to me, and it's easy to stand up and talk without back pain, and Master Wei put all kinds of subjective prejudices on when he spread the word.

So of course, people who don't know Lin Ze are very dissatisfied and questioned that he was invited to the party today.

Constantly looking around...

Lin Ze didn't care, anyway, he knew that he must not be clean today, and a challenge was inevitable.

Leisurely drinking the small wine on the table, leading the children to taste the refreshments in the restaurant, eating and drinking enough, and then fighting with these covetous people.

There was still a while before the banquet officially started. Those who came first at this moment chatted with acquaintances, and those who didn't know were almost the same as Lin Ze, sitting in their seats and eating pastries.

After all, Jinquelou is the number one restaurant in Qingshan County. The dishes are delicious, and one of the key points is the banquet in the annual gathering.

The desserts that were put on the table first were exquisite in appearance and sweet in taste. They were served with good tea, and everyone was full of praise.

Except Lin Ze's table.

The expressions of the children are very straightforward. If you like it, you like it. If you don’t like it, you don’t like it. After half a month with Lin Ze, the food in the cafeteria is changed every day, and everyone’s appetite has been raised.

In fact, the food in Canary Tower is pretty good, but it’s a small town, and the special snacks are okay, but the big dishes are not satisfactory, and the fire and innovation are not so good. The real good cooks have gone to the bustling capital city. .

Although Lin Ze's culinary skills are not truly top-notch, at least he learned from star chefs at a cost of money. He himself is quite picky, and the dishes he serves are novel, and children who have eaten his skills They naturally look down on things outside.

So when the children who ate normally, it was very strange to see the people around them who seemed to be tasting the delicious food, and they couldn't help whispering,

"Why do they eat so deliciously? Are the dim sum here delicious?"

"No, we just tried it just now. It's just so-so. The dessert shop of Mr. Lotus Cake's also has it. It's much more delicious than this one. This one has too much sugar, it's too sweet, and the salted egg yolk is not tasteful enough... "

"This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is the same. It's nothing new. The crystal sweet-scented osmanthus cake from Mr.'s house is delicious. I used to eat that kind of crystal cake when my mother and I went to visit relatives in the county town. I always eat that kind in the county town. This restaurant actually only do this kind of..."

Children, you and me, the conclusion of the final discussion is: the things here are really ordinary.

As for those people who look mesmerized by eating, they must have never eaten good food. These uncles are so pitiful, hey.

A group of little ghosts are big and small, although they speak childishly, but they speak so bluntly that people who are close to them accidentally hear it and feel very annoyed.

This Jinquelou is the number one restaurant in the county. How many people are proud of eating the dishes of Jinquelou? They are a group of talents who write many poems to praise every time they meet at the Huixian Banquet. It has been circulated outside so far. Doesn't the facial expression say 'they don't know much'?

We shouldn't care about the children, but because the children were brought by Lin Ze, everyone unconsciously imagined that he instructed the children to say this, otherwise why bring a group of children here.

So, some people couldn't help pointing at Sang and scolding Huai out loud,

"You children are eloquent and unreliable. Literary writers should be humble, you are such a derogatory thing, you can't teach children, and you can't carve rotten wood..."

The children who had only been in school for a long time after listening to a series of classical Chinese texts looked confused.

In the end, I could only look to my two gentlemen for a solution, "Sir, what is this uncle talking about?"

"Gentlemen have little knowledge and don't understand the bird language. You should bark like a dog and don't make sense of it."

Before Lin Ze could speak, it was Fang Shanyuan who spoke first this time, put down the wine glass heavily, and replied with a cold face.

It's not difficult to understand a half-baby and half-old saying. It can be simply translated as, "Children, the next door is talking bird language, and the husband can't understand it. Just ignore it like a dog barking..."

Done.

The children were ignorant, but Lin Ze smiled, and Fang Shanyuan refreshed his views.

He originally thought that Fang Shanyuan was an extremely rigid person, but he didn't expect this guy to have a temper, and he could scold him so bluntly. It seems that Fang Shanyuan really accepted the job of Mr. Private School, not just Just for the silver.

Only when you truly treat these children as your own students, as teachers, will you not be afraid of offending others to protect them outside. This is the same mentality as parents. I can beat and scold my children, but others can’t say a word.

Such blunt cursing back directly made the middle-aged Confucian who was talking to the other side blushed angrily, and slapped the table to stand up.

"Zhuzi! I am Mr. Zhong from Jingyuan Private School, how dare you insult me!"

"What is the Jingyuan private school? God is also a god? Since this is the case, Ru Cao's supernatural powers are unpredictable, and Hu Busheng is poor and poor?"

Fang Shanyuan also stood up and sneered.

Simple translation: You are awesome, you go to heaven!

Lin Ze couldn't hold back a 'poof' laugh.
