Lucky husband

Jiang Qiming not only passed the examination of the scholar, but also a first-class scholar in the top 20 of this year, that is, a student. Can have an income of more than ten taels of silver.

It is said that reading is good, and that after reading a good book, the whole family can change their careers and become prosperous, but in fact, people who know a few words are no different from children, because they have no fame.

Starting from a scholar, one can earn money by virtue of one's status. Of course, the only person who can earn this money is a student, and the later scholars are not qualified.

Waiting for the scholar to further pass the Juren examination will be the real soaring to the sky. As long as the vision is not too high, it is easy to find any shortage in any place.

In addition, Juren can also be exempted from land tax. If you put your own land in the name of Master Juren, you only need to hand over some food or a small amount of money to Master Juren to avoid the land tax, which is not too high but still makes everyone feel distressed.

Juren sit at home and do nothing, and they can make a lot of money, let alone do something, but the difficulty of being admitted to Juren is much higher, and the talents of the entire province compete for this position.

There are so many people who pass the examination for scholars every year, but the original Han province only has [-] candidates every three years, and some places have even fewer places, maybe fifty in three years.

Under such a ratio, the number of juren will be reduced in a certain state or county. Of course, everyone will think that the master Juren is expensive.

Because Li Chengshi only knew the results of the college exam, not the specific ranking of the college exam. After the messenger who announced the good news came, Jiang Yuzhi knew that his son had actually passed the exam in the same year as a scholar. He was very happy.

The first-year students are much more valuable than the county-examination students, which is good for Jiang Qiming to continue to take the rural examination in the future, and it is also easier to get into the government-run college in Fucheng, and get the favor of the college's instructors.

When Jiang Yuzhi took the college entrance examination, he was one of the [-] scholars in the last grade. He was a student in Changping after he returned to Changping County and accumulated some years of knowledge. Obtained in the county examination of the county.

So Jiang Qiming took the high school entrance examination in the first year. He was very fancy, and immediately decided to slightly increase the standard of return gifts.

According to the initial standard, the money Jiang Yuzhi and the others had saved was enough to meet them, and they were a little bit short of raising the standard of return gifts. Fortunately, with the ten taels of silver that Jiang Zhiyun brought over at the beginning, three taels of silver were spent. Finally, prepare the return gift properly.

Jiang Qiming arrived at the pier in Changping County by boat on the No. 11 day after the results of the government examination came out. Jiang Yuzhi had already asked the dean of the county school for ten days off, and it was almost time, so he waited at the pier a day or two earlier. with.

When Jiang Qiming and old man Jiang appeared at the bow of the boat with their bags and luggage on their backs, Jiang Yuzhi couldn't hold back his excitement and ran over, waving vigorously at their boat.

In his 30s and soon to be 40 years old, he still runs around on the pier like a child. Jiang Yuzhi usually wants to maintain his majestic image as a father in front of his son. He has always been strict and has never been so "lively" as he is now. .

Seeing his father like this, Jiang Qiming turned around and asked the old man next to him: "Master, was my father like this before?"

Old man Jiang unceremoniously dismantled his son's platform: "Your father was the complete opposite of you when he was a child. He was lively and impatient to sit on a stool and read books. It was your grandma who was sick and uncomfortable, so he began to be patient. Read books to make your grandma happy."

Jiang Qiming has almost no impression of his grandma. Old Jiang Wang passed away when Jiang Qiming was less than four years old. He only has a very vague concept in his memory.

However, from the descriptions of Old Man Jiang, Jiang Yuzhi, Jiang Zhiyun, and Jiang Wangshi on weekdays, he sketched in his mind the image of a smart woman who understands things, understands human emotions, and knows how to advance and retreat. If his father is really under the influence of milk Reading seems to be very possible.

Although he knew his father's virtues when he was a child, Jiang Qiming had a serious and old-fashioned temperament. He would not use this incident to "laugh" at his father. After getting off the boat, he still respectfully respected Jiang Yuzhi who had regained his composure.

I used to think that my son was a little old-fashioned and a little boring. This time, Jiang Yuzhi realized the benefits of being a little old-fashioned. He also pretended that he had temporarily lost his memory and forgot what he had just done.

The old man Jiang laughed at his son quietly in his heart, but he didn't expose him, and handed over the luggage he was carrying to his son.

When Jiang Yuzhi received Old Man Jiang and Jiang Qiming, Li Mingjin and Li Qiusheng, who had temporarily returned to the village, came to the Qianshui River next to Shanghe Village. They wanted to find a medicinal herb by the water.

In the past, Li Mingjin and Li Qiusheng had similar skin tones, but with their different life trajectories, their skin tones have changed a lot.

Li Mingjin spent most of his time in his own yard, he was much fairer and tenderer than previous years.

Since Li Qiusheng learned medical skills and processed herbs from Xing Lang Middle School, he spent very little time at home. Either it was raining and he couldn't go out to the doctor and collect herbs, or he found herbs that were usually hard to find and had to process them quickly.

Going out all year round turned the skin on Li Qiusheng's face and hands into a healthy wheat color, not like the sunburned black and purple color of farmers in the field, nor like Li Mingjin or Bai Ziyi. White and tender.

If the red mole on Li Qiusheng's forehead is ignored, his appearance is not much different from that of a slightly shorter man.

Over the years, Li Caoye followed Li Chengzhi and the others to help out at rice noodle stalls and shops, and saved a sum of money. After struggling for a long time, she decided to use the money as a dowry to marry her son off.

Because Li Caoye felt that not every man could be said to be soft-fed without any grievances like Bai Chen. If he wanted to make his son live happily in the rest of his life, it would be better for him to marry off like an ordinary brother.

But Li Caoye's idea was opposed by Li Qiusheng. He didn't think that he would have a good life if he married off. Not to mention his brother's difficult childbirth, his appearance is not the kind that men like. Find a man who wants to marry him What's the point of being married?

When he was a child, what happened to the Liang family left too deep a mark in Li Qiusheng's mind. He resisted getting married. He didn't think that marrying a certain man and giving birth to a man would make him happy.

Li Qiusheng's deviant thoughts made Li Caoye so worried that he couldn't sleep, worried that his son would die alone in the future, worried that no one would take care of his son when he was old, worried that his son would go out without getting married and be pointed at by others...

After finding out that his mother was worried that he would not be able to sleep all day, Li Qiusheng and Li Caoye had a heart-to-heart talk, and the two talked about all their conflicts.

Li Caoye's biggest worry is nothing more than that his son will be alone in the future with no one to accompany him, and no one will take care of him when he gets old.

Li Qiusheng told her that Langzhong Xing and his wife had no children. He is learning medicine from Langzhong Xing now, and he will take over the burden from Langzhong Xing in the future. He will take care of them when they are old.

The same is true for himself. In the future, he can take in apprentices who close his eyes, teach them medical skills, and let them provide for him in the old age.

However, Li Caoye felt that his apprentice was not as secure as his own children. What if he accepted a hypocrite and ignored his master after he learned medical skills?

Li Qiusheng directly cited his own example. His grandfather and grandmother gave birth to a daughter and two sons. In the end, it was the daughter, not the son, who took care of the old couple.

There are also some biological children who are not filial to the elderly. Whether or not filial piety depends on character, not blood relationship.

Leaving aside the issues of loneliness and retirement, Li Caoye was still worried about the rumors in the village, which were spread to ten or ten to hundreds. The impact is too great.

Li Qiusheng believes that rumors can only affect those ordinary people. He will be a doctor who will treat everyone in the future. No one will get sick after eating whole grains. No one can guarantee that they will not ask him one day. Considering this, everyone He will not and dare not arrange his affairs at will.

On this issue, Li Caoye was once again persuaded by Li Qiusheng, no matter how many questions she raised later, Li Qiusheng could find a reason to refute, so Li Caoye had no choice but to agree not to ask him to marry for the time being , and don't recruit him.

Now Li Qiusheng is going to be eighteen years old soon, and these few years are his best years. He has devoted all his attention to studying medicine, and he doesn't think about romantic affairs even more than before.

Li Mingjin squatted next to Li Qiusheng wearing a straw hat, watching his cousin carefully dig out the roots of this plant, and asked curiously: "Cousin, don't you still want to get married now?"

Seeing Li Mingjin who would wear a hat to worry about sunburn when going out, Li Qiusheng smiled: "Brother Jin, do you think someone like me would be sincerely willing to marry?"

The person Li Qiusheng envied most was Li Mingjin, because he had a pair of loving parents who doted on him, and the relationship between Jiang Zhiyun and Li Chengshi was what Li Qiusheng yearned for.

In Li Qiusheng's imagination, if he wants to marry other people in the future, he must live like them. He doesn't want to repeat the tragedy of himself and his parents.

As he grew older, Li Qiusheng knew that the situation of Uncle Santang and Aunt Santang was rare. After he found his own hobbies—identifying herbs and studying medicine, he gave up on that kind of beauty. Emotional yearning closed one's heart and became a good doctor wholeheartedly.

Li Mingjin carefully observed Li Qiusheng, who was serious about his work, and then said with certainty: "My cousin is very good-looking, I like it."

Back then, Li Caoye belonged to a very good-looking girl in Shanghe Village, with a melon-seeded face, round almond eyes, a small chin, and an exquisite mouth.

Li Qiusheng has almost inherited her appearance, with exquisite facial features and delicate skin. The only problem is that his complexion is darker, but Li Mingjin doesn't feel that the skin color has much influence on his cousin's appearance, but has a different kind of appearance. charm.

"Brother Jin, those men outside don't think so." Seeing Li Mingjin's serious appearance, Li Caoye felt warm in her heart, "Men only like fair-skinned women or brothers, like me, I'm afraid it's not the same as coming here." Like sister Di, she is very ugly in their eyes."

"That's because they have blind eyes. My cousin is good-looking and has good medical skills. No matter who marries back home, he has married a baby." Li Mingjin pouted.

He thought of what his mother said last time. If he didn't wear a hat, he would get sunburned. He also wanted to throw away the hat like his cousin and get a little tan.

During the chat between the two, Li Qiusheng had dug up enough herbs. After checking that there was no problem with the herbs in the basket, he pulled Li Mingjin to stand up and prepare to leave.

At this time, a large black object suddenly floated over the river, making Li Mingjin jump, and he took a closer look and found that the person floating in the river was actually a person.
