Lucky husband

The first day of junior high school passed quickly, and the second day of junior high school had to get up early in the morning. Li Mingjin had to follow Jiang Zhiyun and the others to Jiang's house.

The life of the Jiang family has been getting better and better over the years. Jiang Yuzhi taught well in the county school, and was appreciated by the dean. He was promoted to take care of the students in Class C alone, and the monthly salary went up immediately.

After Jiang Wang's health improved, their family finally managed to save money and bought their own house in the county town.

On weekdays, Jiang Yuzhi lived in the county town when he wanted to teach in the school. When the school was on holiday, his family would go back to live in Xiahe Village. After all, they had lived in Xiahe Village for so many years and had a deeper relationship.

Speaking of which, their family still has to support Jiang Qiming who is studying at Jintai Academy in Fucheng. Ordinary families who have a child studying in Fucheng will be hollowed out even if they have a little wealth.

The Jiang family didn't, because Jiang Qiming was up to the challenge.

In the past few years, Jiang Qiming has maintained his status as a student, and he does not spend money in the academy. Seeing that he is down-to-earth, Jiang Qiming made him a teaching assistant, which can basically guarantee the expenses of him and his wife in Fucheng.

A few years ago, after Jiang Qiming passed the scholar examination, he married Deng Wenxin, the daughter of the Deng family. The two of them also went to Fucheng together after they got married.

At that time, Jiang Qiming happened to meet with the provincial examination. Jiang Qiming was not afraid of tigers as a newborn calf. He ran to test the water once and was hit hard.

I have been studying in Jintai Academy for nearly a year, and I can almost reach the second grade in the monthly test, but there is still some distance from the first grade.

Later, Li Mingde and Bai Zhiwen also entered the academy in Fucheng. The three of them studied together from time to time. Jiang Qiming's level gradually improved. From time to time, he was lucky enough to encounter a subject he was good at and was able to get the first grade.

Compared with Li Mingde, who was mediocre in writing, and Bai Zhiwen, who was unique and natural, Jiang Qiming was not so spiritual. He belonged to that kind of well-behaved temperament.

Jiang Yuzhi, who enlightened him, said that his son's chances of being successful in the exam are not high. It depends on luck. If he encounters a topic that suits him, he will naturally be recognized by the examiner. Can only wait for the next session.

This is also the evaluation of Jiang Yuzhi by the teachers of Fucheng Academy today. The teachers think that this child is calm, and in a sense, he is also suitable for learning.

The old teacher who brought him now likes him very much, and secretly thought that before he retired and returned to his hometown, if Jiang Qiming passed the Juren examination, he would recommend him to the academy to take over his class. Instructions can also start with instruction.

Don't look at the fact that working in the academy is not obvious. Every day you teach students in the academy to make a fuss. In fact, the masters in the academy have a decent level, not low.

The person in charge of the education and imperial examinations in a province is Xuezheng, who is also the head of the academy. For the second rank, the emperor directly selects Hanlin officials from the Hanlin Academy to serve, usually for two or three terms.

Three years is a term, and ten years is almost the time to train a round of students. Many academics and politicians from the Imperial Academy were transferred to important positions with real power because of their meritorious education. They showed their ambitions and left their names in history.

Under Xuezheng is Jiaoyu, who is mainly responsible for teaching students, following the arrangement of Xuezheng to study imperial examinations, a certain type of advanced knowledge, etc., in order to follow the fifth grade, to become a discipline must be a juren, even juren is not how to teach students Participate in the provincial examination?

After becoming a teacher, if you don’t want to teach students in the academy, you can also ask the provincial capital to assist the prefect to manage the students in the state. The official position remains the same, and the power in your hands has expanded from a certain angle. Zhizhou is one level higher, but the immediate superior needs one more Zhizhou.

Under the teachings are teachings. Teachings are similar to teaching assistants. They all assist the teaching assistants in teaching. They must be scholars to be responsible. Some are responsible for answering simple questions, some are responsible for collecting and sorting out students’ doubts, and some are responsible for teaching life. Chores.

The difference is that teaching assistants do not have official grades, only the monthly salary and rice grains issued by the academy, while teaching assistants have grades. They are from the sixth grade, serious officials, and receive salary and rice grains from the imperial court.

Because teaching is a job in the academy, it is also possible to take the provincial examination, which is more free than other officials from the sixth grade.

But with a lot of money, there are naturally many things to do, and they don't have so much time to study and learn. It's just that they stay in Fucheng Academy to teach, and they only come into contact with teachers who are from Juren. bigger.

Disciplines can also go to the county to find a job, just like Jiaoyu to the prefecture, the official position and rank remain the same, and they are under the jurisdiction of the county magistrate.

With Jiang Qiming's potential, the examination of Juren is almost over, and it is even more difficult to pass the examination of Jinshi. He stayed in the academy with the fame of Juren and became a teacher. It is considered good, and he is more promising than his father Jiang Yuzhi , and everyone is looking forward to it.

Now that the Jiang family and the Li family are walking around, they seldom send rice, flour and food. Instead, they send books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, or cloth materials, which improve life.

This shows that the two families have got rid of the stage of worrying about eating, and the days are getting better.

This time, Jiang Zhiyun added a set of small and cute longevity locks to the annual ceremony. Jiang Qiming's wife Deng Wenxin was pregnant for six months.

Because the fetus was relatively stable at six months, and Deng Wenxin was in good health, the couple dared to return to Changping County for the New Year.

She came back during the Chinese New Year, and she will definitely stay in Fucheng when she gives birth. Jiang Zhiyun probably won't be able to go here, and she won't be able to get away until Li Mingjin gets married a hundred days after the child's birth. Just send out the longevity lock prepared for the child in person during the Chinese New Year in advance.

As a cousin, Li Mingjin used the softest muslin cloth to make two pairs of small socks with fine stitches.

This pair of socks is prepared for the children to wear after autumn. He carefully made them with interlayers, and stuffed them with this year's new cotton carefully, making them flat and warm.

The life of the two families is getting better and better, and everyone is happy to meet and chat, but Jiang Wang's brows and eyes are a little sad, she finds an opportunity to pull Jiang Zhiyun aside alone.

Li Mingjin immediately lost interest in what Jiang Yuzhi and Li Chengshi were talking about about the county town, and quietly listened to what his aunt and mother said.

Jiang Qingyan is five years younger than Li Mingjin. Li Mingjin is eighteen this year, and Jiang Qingyan is thirteen. It should be the age to start dating.

It was the little girl's marriage that Jiang Wang was worried about, because she saw what Jiang Yuzhi meant, as if she had taken a fancy to one of his students.

According to Jiang Yuzhi, the talent of this student is not bad, and he is willing to work hard. If he does not continue to do so in the next few years, he should be able to be like Jiang Qiming and the others in the future. It's not good to be a scholar for a lifetime.

"Sister, I have no problem with this child. Your brother has a good eye for people, so I trust him. I don't ask Qing to marry more capable people. In fact, I want to say that the future son-in-law should not be more powerful than Qi Ming. In this way In case he changes his mind after a long time, he doesn't dare to bully Qingyan casually. But..." Jiang Wangshi didn't know how to continue, "But that child's family is a butcher, I don't feel at ease when I think about it. "

"The butcher?" Jiang Zhiyun frowned and pondered, and then she retrieved the news Li Chengshi had told her, "But the Tong family outside the city?"

The Tong family is a relatively well-known big family in Changping County. Their ancestors have been butchers for several generations, and they have accumulated from generation to generation. Now they not only kill pigs, but also raise pigs. They bought a large piece of land outside the city and hired people to farm and raise them. Pigs, when they have money, they also start to let their children and grandchildren study.

If calculated according to the population and wealth of the clan, the Tong family is a big family in Changping County, but because their family's industry is somewhat special, no matter whether they are merchants in Changping County or those farming and studying families who came from a scholar's family, they are not very willing to cooperate with them. come and go.

One reason is that almost all the men in the Tong family have thick waists and round arms, and they don’t look like scholars. Another reason is that everyone always thinks that the Tong family raises pigs, and their language is vulgar. After that, they would cover their noses and walk away, as if they had some smell on them.

In fact, after the Tong family became rich, their own clansmen seldom did the work of raising and killing pigs, and they had no smell at all.

Jiang Wangshi sighed: "Hey, that's right."

She didn't feel that the Tong family was like that like those people, but she was worried that her daughter would be looked down upon by outsiders if she married the Tong family.

Jiang Zhiyun knew the Tong family and could understand Jiang Wang's worries. If she was asked to marry Brother Jin to the Tong family, she would have doubts in her heart and think about it.

After thinking about it, Jiang Zhiyun said: "I heard Brother Shi talk about the Tong family. He said that the men of the Tong family are straightforward, sincere in dealing with others, and have a good reputation among ordinary people. Living in such a family is easy and comfortable. It's quite suitable. Qingyan's. It's just that the Tong family has always lacked an opportunity to enter the upper circle, and the female family members are prone to gossip when they attend gatherings."

Jiang Zhiyun's point was on point, and Jiang Wang agreed: "That's right, Qingyan is outspoken. I'm worried that she will be told that she can't bear her temper when she goes to Tong's house, and I don't want my child to suffer this kind of grievance."

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, now that Qingyan is still young, you can wait another two or three years to get engaged." Jiang Zhiyun advised, "If you think about it again, before a girl gets married, she depends on her natal family, and after she gets married, she depends on both her husband's family and her husband's family." Look at my mother's house."

"If Qi Ming has passed the Juren examination in the past few years, then she is a Juren girl. With this status, it will not be easy to meet someone who is not good-looking when she goes out."

"If Qi Ming doesn't pass the exam, then we'll talk about it later, maybe there will be other candidates at that time, and the elder brother won't look at the children of Tong's family anymore."

Right now, Jiang Yuzhi is teaching Class C, which is basically for students aged 11 to [-] or [-]. Who knows what it will be like in a few more years.

Jiang Zhiyun's words comforted Jiang Wang a little bit, and her expression relaxed a little.

Author's gossip: Xixi suddenly found out that she forgot to write about the Jiang family for a few years, so I will make up for it here. The Li family's affairs are almost arranged, and it's time for Brother Jin to get married, and the two of them are about to live together, hehe
