dressed as a scholar

Fang Yu opened the box, and saw a set of finely crafted gold collars laying safely in the red silk, a large golden lock in the shape of auspicious clouds in the middle of the entwined gold thread, and three finely chiseled small bells below, shining golden colors , Wealth is pressing.

This is the jewelry that the son of a rich lady in the capital will take out to wear when he meets a nobleman. It is both beautiful and expensive.

When Qiao Hezhi received it earlier, the other party did not leave a name. He only said that the adults in the family knew who it was and couldn’t shirk it, so he had to stay and let Fang Yu come back to have a look. He didn’t open the box to take a look. It was such a valuable item, he was afraid that he had received the wrong thing.

"Since he is so rich, he pretends to be poor first, and just eats ours and lives in ours. When he leaves, he also takes a horse."

Fang Yu closed the box. In today's situation, who else could it be except Chu Jingfei.

He was a little displeased with this person, he was mysterious, and he seemed to be under his nose, being stared at everything he did, so he seemed very passive!

After Qiao Hezhi heard this, he immediately noticed the gift giver, but seeing that Fang Yu's expression was not very good, he asked cautiously, "What's wrong?"

"I saw Brother Chu at the banquet today, but that person still has such a temper, someone interrupted him without saying anything, and I didn't find him when I turned around, so I had to socialize in front of everyone. He turned his face away and went home to give our family a gift."

Fang Yu thought for a while and felt that it didn't matter. He didn't want to confess his identity. Since he belonged to an official family in the capital, it would be a matter of time before he was exposed, and he didn't bother to guess and inquire.

Instead, he smiled and pushed the box in front of Qiao Hezhi: "Brother Chu, when you came to Beijing with us, you cooked a lot of food and shared it with him, so let's accept this gift today. It looks pretty good to me. Use it when you go out to socialize."

Qiao Hezhi can also see that this is something used by young ladies and younger brothers, so it is impossible for Fang Yu to carry it, even if it is available for men, it must be a baby that has not grown up: "Although I did not bring it when I went to Beijing What jewelry, but now that I have settled down here, my parents will pack up my things and bring them here, so let’s keep them for the children.”

"Okay. You make the arrangements."

Fang Yu drank the hangover soup in one gulp. After all these busy days, the arrangements written in the itinerary are now over, so he feels more at ease.

However, Fang Yu did not relax. After winning the imperial court's reward, he made some plans to settle down and start a business. In the future, there are still things to do.

At the end of April, nearly ten horse-drawn carriages rushed into the Fang Mansion in batches at the last juncture. The house was busy with unloading and repacking from the morning until the evening, after waiting for a long time. , Yuncheng's things can be regarded as sent up.

During this period, there are some items of Fang Yu and Qiao Hezhi's daily life in Yuncheng, most of which are of high value, such as Qiao Hezhi's own jewelry that Qiao Hezhi said earlier.

Other than that, it was probably the tea that Fang Yu asked Qiao Xinnian to send. He had been thinking about doing some business before. During these free days, he made a brief visit and looked at the aspects of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, and found that it was not good. After thinking about it, I realized that my previous decision was good, so I decided to start the business of my father-in-law's family and get some tea to sell.

Qiao's tea is not only well-known in Yuncheng area, but also has a place in the far Jiangnan area. For example, Fangrui Xueyue is a representative of good tea. Fang Yu saw that the resources in his hands include both brands and With the fame and the supply of goods, why not open a branch in the capital.

If there is a bad thing, the transportation is a bit troublesome, but what is not troublesome nowadays, anyone who wants to transport south to north, east to west has a high price, and it is not just his shop.

If the cost is high, then raise the standard, take the high-end route, take advantage of the reputation of the second-best man to write some characters, and write some poems on the facade, and the literati in the capital will come.Although he has not been in the capital for a long time, he still knows the idea of ​​Qingliu, a civil servant.

The shop is in the inner city, and the people it faces are either rich or expensive, and tea is a best-selling drink. It is suitable for daily needs, the right time and place, and all aspects are suitable. When he got the shop, he had this idea.

Not only that, he also called two of the old masters who made five-flavored watermelon seeds in Yuncheng, and he moved the tea business of Shuchazhai to the capital.

When the goods arrive, they just wait for the shops in the city to install them.

In addition to the usual servants who came to the capital here, Xue Zhu also came, bringing with them many letters.

After packing the goods, he and Qiao Hezhi opened the letter and read it together at night.

First of all, it’s from Father Qiao and Mother Qiao. Naturally, they are asking about the recent situation and explaining the situation in Yuncheng. More importantly, they are the precious little grandson who has given many instructions to the couple. Visiting, promised to come to take care of Xiao Qiao when the child is full-term.

Secondly, it was given by the students taught by Fang Yu. Many individuals wrote letters. Xuezhu bundled all the students' letters into a bundle and classified them into one category.

Fang Yu looked at the letters one by one, and most of them were congratulatory words. It was a pity that they could not congratulate Master Yunyun face to face, and simply explained his studies. With Fang Yu as an example, everyone should encourage everyone to study hard.

Sun Yuan and Zhao Wanxin are the most skinny, saying that one person can ascend to heaven, Fang Yu is now a high official in the Imperial Academy, and they have also improved their reputation as Fang Yu's students.People in neighboring counties inside and outside the city all sighed, their thighs were slapped green, why didn't Fang Yu send his own children there when he passed the Jieyuan exam, and he missed the honor of being a student of the Imperial Academy .

This title is also very useful. In the future, students will become scholars or raise people, but they will stop and fail to pass the exam. They will go out to find errands to do, be a teacher, or open a private school, with a Hanlin bachelor on their head. The student's gimmick is nice and decent.

And the family members of the dozen or so little bastards in Fang Yu's hands were overjoyed. This time, not only did Fang Yu turn his back on evil and get a good name in the exam, but he also raised his social status while sitting at home. Playing drums and setting firecrackers, cooking porridge to help the people, was actually happier than Fang Yu himself.

But they are all conscientious, and their merits are all credited to Fang Yu.This time Fang Yu is already a hot legend in Yuncheng.

Fang Yu felt a little flustered in his heart. Although he was no longer in Yuncheng, Yuncheng still had its own legend.

"I'm not in Yuncheng telling these little brats, I don't know if they are diligent in their studies."

Qiao Hezhi followed Fang Yu to read the letter, and saw that the cubs were very conscientious and greeted him as the teacher's wife, so he spoke kindly to them in a different place: "I wanted to relax for a while after escaping from your clutches, but I didn't expect that my family The master is so powerful, he even passed the imperial examination in one fell swoop and became a first-class Jinshi, even if he doesn't want to make progress, it will be difficult."

Fang Yu smiled lightly and carefully put these letters into the box. Although it was only a small paper business, the friendship in it was more precious than gold and silver. When he was free, he had to reply to these children one by one. , Encourage the children, now he is alone in the capital, weak, if there are two up-to-date candidates, he will have some comfort in his heart.

Later, Fang Yu also read Master Zhang's letter, and the old master praised him again, and the person who had been serious all his life also joked, saying that since then, he has had more success stories when teaching students.Just like the teachers of future generations, whoever is an official and earns a lot of money is my student.

Fang Yu wanted to laugh when he thought of Master Zhang reprimanding the students with a straight face, and when he talked about his slightly smug expression.

Mrs. Zhang also told the officialdom to be dangerous, to be careful in all things, not to be too ostentatious and independent, and he contacted old friends in Beijing and China. Although the official position is not even as good as Fang Yu, he is an old Beijinger after all, and there is always someone who can take care of him. place, let him not be disgusted.

Fang Yu was moved in his heart, Master Zhang had always treated him as Chicheng, always thinking of Fang'er's considerate care.

"My master likes to drink tea. When I have time to take things back to Yuncheng, I will definitely send some good tea from the capital to the old man."

Qiao Hezhi nodded seriously: "Okay, Mr. Zhang treats your husband as always. The letter mentioned the adults in Beijing, so we will pay a visit with courtesy when we have time."

Fang Yu patted Qiao Hezhi's head, he could not make friends with him at the top, but he made friends with the old Jianghu at the bottom, so he could avoid some detours.

"Look, the letter from Shengzhi County to you!"

Qiao Hezhi saw that there were two more letters at the bottom, and when he took them out, they belonged to the whole family.

"Their couple are interesting, and the family wrote two letters." Fang Yu and Qiao Hezhi each took their own letter in tacit understanding.

The content at the beginning is the same, either congratulations or congratulations, then Sheng Jia will talk to Fang Yu about men, and Qi Qiu will talk to Qiao Hezhi about his little brother.

In fact, it’s just asking if there are any delicious and interesting things, Yunyun, the young brother of the rich family loves beauty, and he wants Qiao Hezhi to bring him some new cloth things in the capital, so that the county magistrate can have them when he holds a banquet. Show off.

Qiao Hezhi had long wanted to bring things from the capital to Qi Qiu and Ran Mo, but he really didn't have those thoughts when he moved and bought a house a while ago.

After the days settled down, he had plenty of time to go wandering.

The two of them read the letter for more than an hour. By the time they finished reading the letter, the moon was already in the west. After washing up, they lay down on the bed. While reading the letter, they missed Zong Zong from Yuncheng, and it was hard to sleep.

"My father and mother were afraid that we would suffer hardships in the capital, so they sent a lot of bank notes. I was also shocked when I opened the box."

Qiao Hezhi was only looking at his precious jewellery, but he didn't pay attention to the money given by his parents. He turned his head to look at Fang Yu: "Giving money is not a common thing, why make such a fuss, how much did you give?"

Fang Yu stretched out two fingers silently.

Qiao Hezhi knew it wouldn't be just 2000 taels, so he blinked his eyes: "Father and mother have spent a lot of money this time! But after thinking about it carefully, my father and mother are only my son, and we spent all the money, and the son-in-law became Hanlin A senior official has a grandson again, and the double happiness is not just for us."

"You do the math, the An family will give some subsidies, the son-in-law will give some rewards for being an official, and the little grandson will spend money on eating and drinking. It's all about the same."

Fang Yu looked at Qiao Hezhi earnestly counting with his fingers and laughed: "Not only these, the students also sent things from their homes."

It was supposed to be poor and empty, but now it is good, and suddenly became rich: "This is a blow to my entrepreneurial heart~"

"Come on, there are still places to spend money for socializing and networking. You have such a big income every day. After you go to the palace to continue your job, you will receive 20 taels of monthly silver every day. I think you are still proud of it." don't get up."

Qiao Hezhi pulled the quilt and shrank into the bed.

"Fu Lang's words are justified, and he has to raise cubs."

The author has something to say:

Fang Yu raised her chest: I'm really rich!
