[Comprehensive martial arts] With the martial arts protagonist

A lot of people gathered at Ayu's gate early in the morning, and Xiaobao couldn't help being startled when he came out with Ayu, because not only those people who played and made money with him were there, but also many Little Treasure couldn't help but look back, seeing that Ayu was also a little dazed, then smiled, and said to the children:

"There are distinguished guests today, sir can't give you a lecture, everyone can write in the school, Shi Zhu, you look at it, and lead them to read the book a few times and preview their homework, by the way, uncle, you can help today Look at the pharmacy, if there is a delivery of medicine, help to collect it."

Ah Yu forgot, yesterday did not inform the children to rest today, they are here for class, fortunately there is no way to deal with it.

Seeing this scene, Xiaobao tugged on Ayu's sleeve and asked:

"With so many children, is it possible that the children in the entire village here are studying? They all want to take the imperial examination?"

"Everyone goes to take the imperial examination there, but they don't want to be blind. A few older people have learned the three-character classic, hundreds of surnames, and thousands of characters. They have learned more arithmetic and have already gone to the town. After doing things, some work as accountants, and some work as warehouse secretaries. It is always easier for people who can read to find a job, and it is easier, even if the wages can be paid. Because of the word, there is no visible benefit, how can they be willing to dig money out of their rice bowls for their children to go to school? No matter how cheap it is to repair here, the ink, paper and inkstone always cost money. Besides, the family has People who can read and write are not easy to be fooled when they go out to sell things."

Ayu knows that Xiaobao is a bit lazy. He has known it since he learned martial arts. He is a guy who fishes for two days and hangs the net for three days. He knows that he is not very willing to read, but there is such a rare opportunity. He can persuade him if he can. A few words, after all, if you go in and out of the palace, if you can have some snacks, it is always good to learn some knowledge.Xiaobao's condition is also much better than these people.

"The children didn't have the opportunity to learn before, but now they have the opportunity, and the family can save money to pay for it. They are all very serious, and they don't give up learning even if they are scratching the ground with a branch. Such people, even if they can't pass the exam The imperial examination, with such a heart, with this foundation, can be promising in the future. Which one of those shopkeepers of big companies is not a literate person? If you have the opportunity to work as a clerk in the yamen, you will be able to become an iron rice bowl immediately. Although there is not much money, but if you do it well, you can also get other benefits, such as helping people with some complaints, helping to check official documents and so on. , there is no one who is filial, and it is convenient for the family to pay taxes and so on. Although the people in the village are not knowledgeable, it does not mean that they do not know what is good and bad, and their eyes are sharp."

Ayu talked to Xiaobao about the benefits of reading from the side, not showing off the mountains and not revealing the water, Xiaobao also felt that it made sense, turned around and watched the children enter the school one by one, and began to read and write piously. some touches.Seeing him like this, Ayu continued:

"Now that I am a Juren, the village puts all the land in my name, which saves me a lot of taxes. This is the benefit of studying, but the hard labor is not reduced. If they can pass the exam Tong Sheng, at least I can avoid it. If I become a scholar, I can avoid the errands of adding two people, a total of three people. You also know that every year doing these hard labors always kills people. Survival is working hard. I just failed to pass the exam. At least I can find a better job to do and earn more money. I can also spend money to unblock it in the future, or let others do it for me. Do you see that there is no space in my school? More than 30 seats are filled, and this is the result of several 15-year-olds who have given up school to make a living, otherwise there may be more than 50 seats in total, and almost every family has one.”

Little Treasure's eyes flashed with inexplicable envy. He had never had such an opportunity since he was a child. When he got an opportunity in the palace, he didn't really cherish it. Now that he thinks about it, he seems to have missed a lot of things, even though he is still considered a I live very chicly and proudly, but looking at it now, it seems that it is still a bit empty, maybe I should also pursue something.Is it really good for him to read and write?He was a little unsure. You must know that this is the Qing Dynasty, not the Ming Dynasty. The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty almost had no way out if they did not study. The palace could create a reading place for the eunuchs, but the Qing Dynasty did not advocate it because it wanted to prevent the eunuchs from taking power. Studying, even when the court ladies selected candidates, most of them chose illiterate ones. Although he was no longer a eunuch, as the emperor's confidant, he was still a little apprehensive, for fear that if he made progress, he would fall out of favor.Although ignorant people are not very respectable, they are not a threat to others, aren't they!This is also the reason why he can go around everywhere, who would compete with someone who is not a threat!I have to say that this is also a way for Xiaobao to protect himself, but he has no idea for a while.

Ayu didn't know what Xiaobao was thinking, and looked at Xiaobao thoughtfully, so she stopped talking. Although we are friends, I can't force my thoughts on him just because I know a lot. With his own life, he needs to manage it by himself, without the intervention of others, all he can do is to mention a few points, and Xiaobao has to choose for himself.

On this day, Ayu took Xiaobao to the mountains to hunt, took him to see his orchard, took a boat to swim around the Shahe River, pointed to the land on the other side of the river, and talked about his thoughts, wanting to expand In the fields here, I should leave more property for my family, and I would advise Xiaobao to take advantage of the fact that he is doing well now, to leave some backs for himself. It is always good to have more backs. Xiaobao can use his mother's name, He can also use other names. At his level as an official, it is not difficult to create a fake household registration. It is feasible to buy some fields, or directly buy a shop, rent it out, and have people pay the rent to a designated bank every year.You can even set up a place for hiding treasures and put some things in case something happens in the future, so that you have the capital to recover.

Xiaobao can listen to these words very well. He is rich, and they are all in large bank notes, but if he really has any substantial family property, he really doesn't have any. If he really cares about it, I'm afraid only his mother has Hundred acres.From Xiaobao's point of view, these fields are really no different from nothing, they are too childish, and with his current social status, he really doesn't like them.

Thinking about Ayu's words, it was rare for Xiaobao to make up his mind to buy something for himself, so he simply didn't want to bother the two masters, and took out 2 taels of silver bills and gave it to Ayu, asking Ayu to help plan.

Ayu really thought about this matter for Xiaobao, so she said to him:

"This thing can really be done. Look at this Shahe River. Go to the southwest about ten miles away. That's Centipede Mountain. There, the entire Shahe River begins to turn into a small river. There is a village there, because it is also a group of people. The land surrounded by mountains has a small population. Although it is not comparable to this place, it can be regarded as secluded and quiet, but there are many fields. If you think it is good, I will build you a big house near there. You can enter three or four , slightly to the side, built against the mountain, separated from the village, not too far away, and then buy five or six hundred mu of land, or even a thousand mu of land. A quiet place for the elderly or something, then rent out all the land, buy a few people, help take care of it, I will help you collect some rent every year, or let my uncle come forward, dig a cellar in the house or something, Save all the rent for you, and wait for you to come back, what do you think?"

What else?That would be nothing better than a house, a field, and several years of rental income. Even if Xiaobao has nothing at that time, he can live a good life when he comes back. Think about Xiaobao retiring in his 30s in the book. According to this age Forget it, it will be more than ten years later, let's count it as ten years. I am afraid that the rent of this field can have an income of ten thousand taels. Put everything in this house and put it away, I'm afraid that when I come back empty-handed, I will be a rich man.

Xiao Bao immediately smiled when he heard this, he had arranged all his back roads in one go, how could he not like it, this time he came back from Raksha Kingdom and found out that Xiao Xuanzi is no longer the little Xuanzi he used to be Now that he has the majesty of an emperor, he is also a little uneasy, feeling that he and Xiao Xuanzi seem to be no longer close to him before, and he is afraid that one day he will be knocked out of the mundane world again, and even come to have a companion like a companion, and it will be over all of a sudden. Now according to what Ayu said, doesn't he have a new choice?At that time, it will be a big deal to stop playing by myself, sneak out and live my own life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bao hurriedly nodded, smiling in agreement:

"Master Juren is amazing! I came up with such a comprehensive method all of a sudden. If you say so, what else can I say? Do as you said, but is 2 taels enough? The land price is not cheap, right? No more ten thousand?"

While talking, he took out a stack of bank notes from his body, and wanted to give some to Ayu, which made Ayu dumbfounded, this kid, this is a typical nouveau riche, does he know the market?Give another [-]!

"You, you don't need to give it. The land here is not expensive. After all, it is land in the mountains. It is not as good as the plains in the south of the Yangtze River. A thousand acres of land is only around [-], and the maximum is [-]. The remaining [-] is still worth building a four-in-one manor. It’s ok, and you can even get a back garden or something, just like in the dramas you used to like to listen to, no more, I dare not take any more, lest you think I’m greedy for you.”

After Ayu said this, Xiaobao even picked up the banknote and stuffed it into Ayu's arms.

"Then you take more and get more ink from me. Anyway, I have a place to be greedy. It's just a change of hands. You don't have to go four. It sounds bad and unlucky. It's good to go five. Those with gardens, I like the capital city It's up to you to figure out the style, the extra is just for your hard work, I can't be here, it's all up to you to take care of it, and the uncle's wages, in the future, he will help you with rent collection, right? It costs money to buy someone. Young master is not the same now. There is no shortage of money. You can spend it vigorously. What is mine is yours. Didn’t you spend your own money on me back then, my good brother said Loyalty, naturally the money will not be separated."

What a mess!Hearing that Ayu's head is getting bigger, what's this called, how can anyone encourage others to be greedy for their own money, but he also understands that this is because Xiaobao has no ties with him, and entrusts all the arrangements for the future to him own meaning.

Ayu thought about it, anyway, as Xiaobao himself said, he may lack everything now, no daughter-in-law, no son, but he is not short of money, so he simply took it.

"Okay, I'll take this as a hush money. I'll accept it. It's a rare opportunity to steal from the rich and give to the poor. I'll help you share the sin of corruption. But, Xiaobao, let me settle this matter first. Don't tell your mother, when you come back, tell her yourself, last time I gave the gold to your mother, I heard from your mother that she didn't sleep well for several nights, I was afraid that the money would be hot, and you would The money came in improperly, your mother is old and thinks a lot, so don't let her add to the trouble."

"That's right. When I came back, I brought a lot of things to my mother. As a result, my mother was a little dumbfounded when she saw it. She kept asking me whether it was stolen or robbed. I had no choice but to say that I won it. That's how she believed it, tell me, how can there be such a mother who can't see that her son is doing well, really, I see, she is more at ease with those two cheap brothers than with me."

Little Treasure was a little jealous, Ayu looked at it and wanted to laugh out loud,

"Of course they are reassuring. One is now the shopkeeper. I heard that the business is doing well, and the reputation in the town is very good. The other is in front of the bodyguard, wandering around the rivers and lakes. He is full of knowledge. He is very experienced when he thinks about it. It's not like your hippie smiling face, but Xiaobao, I heard that you are not bad, your stepfather always misses you, last time he sent someone to me to ask for your address, and wanted to give you Sending some money, I’m afraid you’re not going well in the capital alone, but I pushed it away later, saying that you don’t often stay in the yamen, you always have to go outside, it’s inconvenient to entrust things, and you may not be able to find someone, that’s all for him. This time you come, I'm afraid he will be happy too. It's rare! There is a cheap son who works in the yamen, how can he not be happy? He is still rich and loose, I'm afraid your two elder brothers Sister-in-law likes you."

When Ayu said this, Xiaobao showed a rare shyness on his face, and then leaned into Ayu's ear and said:

"Ayu, I have a father now. It's really, really different. It feels so good. When I kowtowed to him, my eyes were red. Thinking about it before, I was a wild child without a father. How many people did it for me? This is a joke, I look down on me, but now... and you, who have no parents, only an uncle, are poor children, and now we are all better, I never thought of it, thank you, Ayu .”

While talking, Xiaobao's eyes were a little red, and he couldn't express his feelings, but Ayu understood that Xiaobao was lonely and stubborn back then, but in fact he had low self-esteem!Although he is only a stepfather, he has a father anyway. In that family, he is a child with a father and a mother, just like everyone else.

"Let's not talk about it, Xiaobao, we've all grown up, haven't we! The days are always getting better and better. In the future, there will be children, who can live a life of old and young like everyone else."

No one would have thought that the naughty little treasure, the good-for-nothing little treasure, the lucky little treasure envies the most ordinary life of ordinary people, with fathers and mothers, old and young.

Having said that, Ah Yu suddenly thought that he would have to leave at the age of 34. What if Xiaobao hadn't come by then?This matter cannot be ignored, so I hurriedly added:

"By the way, let's talk about it. Every few years, you have to find a way to come over and explain it to me. The master always doesn't show up. I'm afraid it will be bad. I'm afraid it will be bad for the servants. There will be other thoughts, just treat it as if you are doing business outside, and if you travel far, you should come back every few years, at least there is an explanation, otherwise it will attract too much attention, and this place may not be kept secret when the time comes."

Ayu said this because he was thinking that he is now twenty, and there are still 14 years left. As long as Xiaobao comes back twice, even if it is once every five years, his son will grow up by then, and it will be feasible to explain it at that time. Little Treasure has not come. Now that the child is still young, if he doesn't know each other or there is some misunderstanding, it will be bad. The friendship between the two of them for so many years should not cause embarrassing things.It's not that he doesn't trust his own children, or that he doesn't trust Xiaobao, but because he is helping to handle this matter after all, so he has to think more.He and Xiaobao are easy to talk about, but he has a wife and children, and Xiaobao will have a wife, or seven, and children, who knows what those people will think?

Xiaobao is also a human sperm, and he understands Ayu's scruples when he thinks about it. Although he feels that Ayu is overthinking, he still has some ideas about coming every few years, not to mention being able to come and see old friends, he also thinks, yes Didn't he transport some things to this house every few years, and hide his family property. Although he also has a residence in the capital, he always feels that it is not his home.

"Don't worry, with you here, I will always come, and my mother, I will never let it go. Now that I really have to talk about it, I am only closest to you."

I don't know who was thinking of what was inside and outside the words, Xiaobao's eyes had a taste of nostalgia, and it was rare for Ayu to gossip.But I didn't want Xiaobao to falter suddenly, and didn't say anything. Ayu knew that it was either Chen Jinnan or Xiaobao's confidante, one of them was the chief rudder of the Tiandihui, and he didn't say anything. Speaking of it, it's not good to know, and almost none of them have confirmed that they can follow Xiaobao to the end, so it's hard for him to say it, for fear that he will tell his mother.Thinking about coming back this time, his mother must have asked about his daughter-in-law and grandchildren.

Ayu didn't want to talk too much, so he simply supported the boat and took Xiaobao to the Centipede Mountain, so that Xiaobao could get to know the place he was talking about.

When he came here this time, Xiaobao really sneaked here, without any entourage, and there was no news from outside. On the third day, he sneaked away again. Ayu is not stupid, seeing Xiaobao driving alone Walking in the carriage, I understood that Xiaobao, looking at the carefree Xiaobao, actually had his own delicate thoughts. He wanted to hide the news about his mother from himself, so that no one would know. It can be seen that he is actually scrutinizing the Tiandihui and the emperor in a daze, with guard. Although he does not understand why there is such a gap between Xiaoguizi and Xiaoxuanzi, who are like childhood sweethearts in the book, he understands better. It's Xiaobao's heart.Thinking about the book again, Xiaobao never let Wei Chunhua stand in front of the stage. Maybe, it's not just because of his identity, but also Xiaobao's own thoughts to protect his mother.

Thinking about the whole book again, even when Xiaobao revealed his identity in Tiandihui Qingmutang, he only said that he was from Yangzhou, never Lichunyuan, and to Kangxi, he only said that he was the child of a prostitute and had no father. But he didn't say anything about the specific places. It can be said that from the very beginning, Xiaobao seemed to deliberately obscure his origin and never contacted Yangzhou. As far as his identity is concerned, if he wants to His mother redeemed it, and it was very easy to get to the capital, but he never did it.

Ayu thought of this, and he was even more sure that Xiaobao had been protecting his mother and himself in his own way, maybe it was just like what was said in the book, the most hypocritical place in the world is the palace besides the brothel, who grew up in a brothel Little Treasure was born knowing that he only talks three minutes when he sees people, and he understands from the bottom of his heart that it is subconscious self-protection to keep a little bit of heel at any time.So until the end, he left, retired, and still kept his retreat. This is also his unique political wisdom.

After leaving, Ayu didn't know when Xiaobao would come again, but Xiaobao took away the two big gourd pills he had prepared. This was something he had specially prepared for a few months. According to Xiaobao, He used this thing very well, and even used it to make friends with many generals, as well as Xiaobao's amazing kung fu. According to Xiaobao, he asked Jiu Nan to help write it, saying It was left for him to figure it out for himself. In fact, he couldn't read, so what's the use of asking for it?This shows that from the very beginning, he wanted to give this skill to himself.This made Ayu very moved.

Touching the banknotes in his arms, Ayu smiled, this is trust, I really never thought that after building an enclosed house with my own hands, I would actually build another manor, maybe I should change my career to be an architect or something.Real estate!It seems to be a good business too, by the way, he thought of the extra banknotes, just buy a few shops, 3 taels!Apart from houses and land, how can you buy several shops? The price of shops in the town is still not high. Well, maybe you can buy a few shops in other towns?As for my own remuneration, a shop is enough, I have never been a greedy person!
