Lucky husband

The person who sent him over was Bai Zhiwen's capable younger brother for the past two years, or the little housekeeper - Bai Mugen.

Last year, Bai Zhiwen made a fortune from jewelry made of broken gemstones. This year, he gave some of the money to Bai Mugen, and asked Bai Mugen to go out and follow the merchant ship for a few trips.

Bai Mugen is a clever man. After learning about business with Bai Zhiwen in Fucheng, he took the money given by Bai Zhiwen and followed the merchant ship to buy local goods at each place, and then dragged him to the next place. Selling, he doubled the money Bai Zhiwen gave him in one trip.

After running several times in a row, the biggest gain he gained was not the money he earned from selling goods every time, but knowing what the cities along the coast produce and what they need.

Under Bai Zhiwen's guidance, Bai Mugen negotiated the goods and prices with local merchants, bought things directly from Fucheng, and let the merchant ships transport them to the corresponding places, so that he could earn money without leaving home.

It's just that it takes more thought to find reliable merchant ships and bodyguards, as well as merchants with long-term cooperation.

Although Bai Mugen can just be a hands-off shopkeeper like this, he still goes out with the merchant ship from time to time to understand the situation.

The waterway in Changping County that he traveled the most was the waterway in Changping County. After all, he was from Changping County. He came back to visit his relatives from time to time, and helped Bai Zhiwen bring things to Bai Yao, Bai Ziyi, and Li Mingjin.

When Bai Zhiwen left with Bai Zhiwen, Bai Mugen was still an idiot and a half-year-old, and he had changed so much in less than two years, which made the rest of the Bai people jealous.

At this time, Bai Mugen was politely leading an elderly nanny with a serious expression and meticulously combed hair standing outside Li's house.

This old woman probably looks to be in her 60s. Old lady Li's back was bent long ago, but her back was straight, as if someone was gesturing behind her with a ruler.

Jiang Zhiyun opened the door and looked at Bai Mugen, smiled and asked him what was going on.

Before, when Bai Zhiwen sent Li Mingjin the storybooks and travel notes, most of them were brought back by Bai Mugen. This time, Bai Mugen not only brought the book, but also brought a living person?

Looking at this old nanny with a rigid face that was a bit mean, Jiang Zhiyun felt that she had grasped something in the blink of an eye.

"Third Aunt Li, this is Aunt Qiu." Bai Mugen introduced with a smile, "Aunt Qiu, this is Aunt Li."

"Mrs. Li, good day." Although Madam Qiu had a straight face, her etiquette was perfect. Although she was old, the voice she spoke through her adjustment was very comfortable.

Jiang Zhiyun immediately understood who this old nanny was—a nurturing nanny.

Immediately, Jiang Zhiyun's attitude became enthusiastic, but she also took into account that the foster nun was serious and rigid, so she didn't dare to show it too much, for fear that the other party would think that the country people were not well-bred, and that she would not be able to teach Li Mingjin when the time came. heart or deliberately pick pricks.

"Madam Li, don't need to be nervous. I am employed by others, so I will do what I should do well." Qiu Mama saw Jiang Zhiyun's nervousness, and said these words very openly.

Her temperament is indeed quite rigid, otherwise she would not be able to do well in nurturing a nanny, but she knows her duty-since she is hired to do things, she must do her duty well.

Another point is that this family asks for nurturing mothers because they hope that the behavior of the children in the family will be more in line with the bearing of noble daughters and elder brothers. It is also because they do not have that kind of bearing that they need nurturing nuns.

If everyone can be born like a perfect noble girl, there is nothing wrong with it, and there will be no nurturing nuns, and there is nothing to be proud of.

Seeing that the two were talking harmoniously, Bai Mugen smiled and handed Jiang Zhiyun a letter: "Aunt Li, Madam Qiu, I have other things to do here, so I'm leaving first, I will be in Changping I will stay in the county for three days, if there is anything I can ask someone to come to Shanghe Village to find me."

He will stay in Changping County for three days during this trip. Apart from sending Madam Qiu back, there are two other things to do.

First, Bai Zhiwen was worried that the Li family and Nanny Qiu would not get along well. If the Li family was not satisfied or Nanny Qiu wanted to leave, Bai Mugen would stay in the county to take them away and understand what happened.

Another thing is that Bai Zhiwen plans to buy a second-entry house in the county. It doesn't matter how big it is, as long as the yard is more elegant.

Bai Zhiwen is confident that he can pass the provincial examination this time, and that he can have a wedding with Li Mingjin when he comes back. Buying a house is for this purpose.

It's not that he dislikes the old and cheap house he built in the country, or he simply wants to make Brother Jin more beautiful when he gets married.

After all, Brother Jin and his family are in the county seat. If he didn't buy a house in the county seat, Brother Jin would have to go back to the village if he married from the county seat. He felt wronged by Brother Jin after marrying from the village.

After much deliberation, Bai Zhiwen decided to buy another small house with a secondary entrance. The house in the county seat is not expensive, and it can be used as a dowry for Brother Yi in the future.

Not only did he plan to buy a house to marry himself, and to marry his younger brother as a dowry in the future, Bai Zhiwen also wanted to find time to rebuild a large courtyard in Shanghe Village as the ancestral house of their branch.

This matter can only be done by Village Chief Bai. After the list is released, he will be the candidate. After he gets married, he will set off for the capital to prepare for the general examination next spring.

He and Brother Jin will probably spend the New Year in the capital at that time, whether it is a house in the county seat or a house in the prefectural city, mother and younger brother can choose whatever they want.

Speaking of it, Bai Zhiwen suddenly felt that he had not considered properly last year. At that time, he thought that after he and Brother Jin got married, he would live in Fucheng for a long time. He did not expect the teacher to write to him and Brother Mingde saying that he would hurry up if he passed the exam. Go to the capital to find his old man.

The teacher said in the letter that before juren the main examination is to explain scriptures, but after juren the focus of examination is policy theory. Since the two of them have passed the examination of juren, Jinshi should be in their pockets. Don't procrastinate and waste time .

Interpreting the scriptures requires readers to thoroughly understand the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention memorizing them backwards, at least to recite the Four Books and Five Classics by heart, and to be able to say the next sentence by taking a random sentence. It depends on the ability to read and learn.

The policy theory examines a scholar's ability to be an official, the ability to discover, analyze, and solve problems.

Generally speaking, the investigation of the rural examination is slightly biased towards policy theory, but it also attaches great importance to interpretation. It mainly depends on the preference of the examiner, and generally there will not be too much difference.

When it comes to the examination, each of them can only be selected one in a thousand miles. How can the level of scripture interpretation be low? The comparison is based on policy theory.

With this in mind, Dayu Dynasty will arrange each session of the general examination in the spring of the second year of the rural examination, so that many students who have just passed the examination can rush to Beijing to catch up with the examination.

At this time, Li Mingjin didn't know that his life for the remaining months of the second half of the year had been clearly arranged. He was being pulled out by Jiang Zhiyun to meet the serious and rigid Nanny Qiu, and he winked at Jiang Zhiyun.

Qiu Nanny looked Li Mingjin up and down with critical eyes, nodded and stood aside without speaking, waiting for Jiang Zhiyun to speak.

Jiang Zhiyun looked at Li Mingjin with a serious expression on her face. She had been planning to raise the nanny last year, and she finally looked forward to Brother Jin getting married soon: "Brother Jin, this is Nanny Qiu. Before you get married, Nanny Qiu will Stay with you, teach you the rules you should learn, and treat Mother Qiu like your younger brother treats your master, do you understand?"

After talking about Li Mingjin, Jiang Zhiyun said to Qiu Nanny: "Qiu Nanny, this child is spoiled by our husband and wife so that he has a quick temper and a stubborn temper. If he doesn't do well, you can beat and scold him casually. It's too much trouble for you."

Qiu Nanny nodded, and she looked very polite when she said the words bluntly: "There are tens of thousands of people in this world, and they have thousands of different temperaments. Being lively is not a bad thing."

In Jiang Zhiyun's eyes, Li Mingjin had various shortcomings. She said it was fine, but she might not be happy with what others said. Hearing Mammy Qiu say that brother Jin's liveliness is not a bad thing, she became closer to Nanny Qiu.

Originally, Li Mingjin looked at Auntie Qiu with a serious face, thinking that he would live the life of a lady in some story books, who was brought up so that every frown and smile wanted to be measured with a ruler, so she was so frightened that she rushed at him. The mother kept winking.

Unexpectedly, Qiu Nanny would say such a thing, which made Li Mingjin less afraid and more curious about Qiu Nanny.

Qiu Nanny looked at Li Mingjin as gently as possible. What she said just now was not flattering Jiang Zhiyun, but she really thought so. The ladies and brothers she taught were all different, and she would not force them to become a certain model.

However, Nanny Qiu's eyes were as gentle as possible, but in Li Mingjin's eyes, he was also very strict, so he subconsciously smiled at Nanny Qiu.

This flattering smile is not flattering, it will not make people hate it, it is the kind of smile that can only be smiled by people who have lived a smooth life since childhood. Qiu Mama's complexion eased again, but it is a pity that this change is too small, Li Mingjin did not see.

Jiang Zhiyun thought about what Mother Qiu said just now that she wanted to see what Li Mingjin was like before starting to teach him, so she asked Li Mingjin to take Mother Qiu to tidy up a room, and let the two of them get along as much as possible.

Of course, she was not idle either. The letter that Bai Mugen handed over just now was clearly addressed to her, so she had to read it quickly. In this letter, Bai Zhiwen briefly introduced the information he had learned about Nanny Qiu.

Aunt Qiu came from the capital city to the original Han province ten years ago. No one knew about her experience in the capital city, but during these ten years, Aunt Qiu was invited by more than a dozen families to teach their children how to behave. Both the young lady and the elder brother have undergone great changes, and later they all agreed to be good people.

This year, Wan's family earned a lot of money by decorating with broken gemstones. Wan Rongtong's treatment in the family has skyrocketed. After learning that Li Mingde and Bai Zhiwen wanted to find a foster mother, he took a lot of effort to help them contact her. Nanny Qiu.

Aunt Qiu is well-known, but she will not be accepted by anyone who comes to the door with money. Bai Zhiwen was able to find her thanks to Wan Rongtong, who agreed to let Aunt Qiu teach Li Mingjin and Bai Ting, but it was Bai Zhiwen. My own way.

Of course, Bai Zhiwen didn't write about these twists and turns in the letter. He only reminded Jiang Zhiyun that Madam Qiu taught people very strictly.
