Chapter 51 Give a Meeting Gift

After hunting so many prey in a row, Jia Daihua and his party were quite happy, and when they left, they even rarely became interested. Under Jiao Da's instigation, they gave Jiao Shibo, who Jiao Da said was about to enroll, a scientific name.It's called Jiao Gui. . .Hey, isn't this name a little black line?Traffic rules?Delicate?Or a corner cabinet?But you have to say it's a good name, and a very meaningful one.

First of all, next to the word Wang itself is the seniority ranking of the Jia family, which shows that he regards Jiao Da as his brother and Jiao Yufeng as his nephews.Secondly, it expresses the expectation of the smart boy of Focus World Expo.Gui: The name of ancient jadeware, which was used as a ritual vessel by ancient nobles for court appointments, sacrifices, and funerals.According to its size, it is different from respect to inferiority.At the same time, Guitonggui, which is regarded as a standard, also means standard and law.This is the expectation that Jiao Shibo will be a useful person with great achievements and a benchmark for the world in the future.Can you say it's a bad name?

In this era when two names are expensive and three names are cheap, Jia Daihua personally chose such a good name for the bottom child, which shows that Jia Daihua attaches great importance to the World Expo.As for why it matters so much?Alas, although Jiao Shibo felt that he was quite low-key, no matter how low-key he was, Jia Daihua, who had been here for so long, could see something different about him.

Not to mention how well-organized he was when he was told to do things, just the fact that he was neither humble nor overbearing in the face of these honorable upper-class people in bright clothes and angry horses was enough to make such a child of a few years old conspicuous, and he was considered young and mature, stable and moderate .If the words are clear and thoughtful, how can it be impossible to surprise the old fox?

There is such a child in the outer circle of my family who looks very likely to become a talent, but if he does it easily, he will be able to form a relationship. Even if Jiao Da does not push him, I am afraid that Jia Daihua will do so.These days, it doesn't matter whether you choose a name or a character, if you don't get close to your elders and important teachers, you won't do it.Of course, except for slaves, this cannot be generalized, after all, the life and death of slaves are in the hands of the master, right?

As for civilians, as long as they are named, they have made a certain endorsement. At some point, they need to bear the responsibility of teaching and guiding.On the other hand, the party whose name is taken also owes karma. At a certain time, such as when the Jia family is in distress, if they do not help, it will be ungrateful.Speaking of which, this relationship is definitely deep enough.

But even so, for Jia Daihua, this matter is still very simple and easy. Looking at the difference in social class and family wealth between the Jia family and the Jiao family, you can know that the so-called responsibility of the Jia family is actually very small and insignificant. The investment failed, and Jiao Shibo had nothing to gain and nothing to lose.

It's Jiao Shibo's future. . .If he can really get ahead, such as becoming an official in the imperial examination, he will naturally become a member of the Jia family's sphere of influence. This will definitely be a big gain for the Jia family.Such a small investment, big rewards, and no risk, why do you think Jia Daihua didn't do it?

Anyway, Jia Daihua and his party left with a lot of rewards, leaving Jiao Yufeng and his son dumbfounded, and they had to accept congratulations from the people around them.Waiting to finish dealing with the people who came to the door, both father and son were almost exhausted and paralyzed.

"Jiao Gui? Father, this name..."

"Okay, don't get cheap and act good. Just relying on Jia Daihua to give you a name, you will have an easier time in the capital than ordinary people in the future. Even scientific research can get some benefits. It's done , Hurry up, pack up, don't look at only staying for a day, this house..."

Yes, they don't have time to lament these things at the moment. Cleaning up the house is the first important thing they are busy with.Whether it's their family, or Master Jiao entrusted to them, these people who come in and out, after eating and drinking a few times, are already in a mess, and it's hard to clean it up, and it's not sure what it will be like.

As for the fallout from the name?For little people like them, ten or eight years may not be enough.But the benefits are immediate, just look at the few purses that Jiao Shibo hastily put into the money box.

"How many?"

Jiao Yufeng, who was cleaning the teacup, saw his son's appearance, and couldn't help asking.To say that Jia Daihua is really particular about people, not only did not ask for a gift from Jiao Yufeng to choose a name, but on the contrary, he laughed and asked Jia Daishan and Jia Amnesty

They gave Jiao Shibo a purse, saying it was a meeting gift.It's not that they are relatives, what kind of meeting gift do they give, that is, when Jia Jing and the others met the father and son, they didn't give it either. It can be seen that once the name is chosen, it is completely tied to the Jia family.

But it's always good to have money to accept, at least Jiao Shibo accepts it happily.Even Jiao Yufeng had some expectations.Don't say they are greedy for money. If there is something for nothing, it doesn't matter. Why not?They are just barely considered small landlords now, and they still want to save some family property so that they can buy a house in the city in the future, and money is still very tight.

"A total of sixteen silver nudes and four gold nudes, a total of 56 taels."

Jiao Shibo counted the money until his eyes almost narrowed, and he deliberately separated the gold so that he could save it separately.And Jiao Yufeng also had a smile on his face, couldn't help but put down the work in his hands, and began to count the future of the day.

"It's really quite a lot. They have been here for a day, and they have earned no less than two taels just for shopping. With the last 20 taels of letter money, the people in the village don't want it anymore. They said they got a lot, but I dare not It’s too greedy, so if we add today’s 83 taels of mountain money together, we’ll get [-] taels. The Jia family is really rich, and they are generous enough to spend.”

"I heard from Grandma Wang that her family got no less than 13 taels, and she said that she didn't have to take any risks to get this much. Thanks to our family, she will make delicious food for me tomorrow."

"To put it this way, the people in the village have gained a lot this trip, are they all satisfied? Satisfaction is fine, we still have to live in this village, if the people in the village can save us from quarrels because of this, It's not good, by the way, how about your third grandpa's house? Are you satisfied with the purse this time?"

"Why are you dissatisfied? I heard from Uncle Fuqi that there are more than 20 taels of silver in the purse. He also said, when did this boss give a meeting gift to his outdated subordinates? Could it be a new rule in the capital? I also asked, if Will there be such a good thing next time I meet Duke Zhen or something? I heard that the third grandfather almost hit him with a big broom."

"Hehe, meeting ceremony, this kid can actually tell jokes."

That day, Jiao Yufeng spent the whole day around the people of Jia's family, and he didn't have time to care about the affairs of the village. That is to say, at this moment, things are over and he has free time, so he can learn from his son. two.I was just being cautious, for fear that I would attract people from the Jia family, and the people in the village would be unhappy. I don’t want to hear this, the more happy I am. Maybe it’s rare for people in this village to see such a family. On the contrary, he seemed a little out of his composure, and his words were a bit exaggerated than usual.

"But speaking of this ceremony... Dad, don't we have to prepare some too?"

He was thinking about the reactions of the people in the village. He was happy and didn't want to turn around when his son suddenly threw a thunder over him. He was stunned when he heard it. What kind of greeting ceremony?Who is he meeting with?Did he miss some important information?

"what to prepare?"

"Grandpa Chun's grandson, you just came back, so you should give him a meeting gift. If you want to help, then let's give it in this name, so that Grandpa Chun won't feel ashamed."

After packing up the money box, Jiao Shibo, who got off the kang, gave his father an expression - you never thought of this, with a supercilious look, and said very much:

"Didn't you say that yourself when you heard the news a few days ago? It's because Grandpa Chun's life is hard, and he doesn't know how to support the child when he comes. We can't just watch. We have to find a way to make up for it. , Dad, didn’t you just forget it after you said it? Fortunately, I’m always there to help you think of something. Isn’t that a ready-made reason?”

This said, it took Jiao Yufeng back from the Jia family's affairs, nodded, and began to think in detail following Jiao Shibo's words.

"That's right, from the birth ceremony, the three baptisms, the full moon ceremony, to the first birthday, etc., such a calculation, how can I give ten taels, and it's not easy to refuse. If you add this and just go home, let's send some food and drink Clothes and quilts, it will be easier for your grandpa Chun to raise this child, at least for a year or two. I still have to think about how to live in the future, I can't really let such a lame The old man with legs, relying on herbs to raise children, this is too

Bitter. "

Speaking of this child, seeing that he was supposed to be sent here in a few days, not to mention how grandpa Chun was looking forward to it day and night, and felt nervous, even the people in the village were actually very concerned about it. After all, it involved a widowed old man. No matter how cold-hearted the village is, he can't help being a little more distracted by relying on him for the rest of his life.Like today, after getting some prey, someone has already helped to divide a large piece of wolf meat and sent it over, and also helped Grandpa Chun stew it with wine, and then dried it, so that the child can eat it after he comes. , the grandpa and grandson can eat meat for a few days smoothly and cultivate their relationship.By the way, let the child's parents rest assured that the child will definitely not be on bad terms in Chun's family.

Even others can do this step. As relatives, Jiao Yufeng's family can only do better. It's no wonder that Jiao Yufeng is so troubled now.Fortunately, he is not alone. He also has a son who can be used as half of the staff. Let's see, he will come in handy right now.

"If you want to make a living for a long time... the second grandma's chicken raising is actually very good, but she is already doing it. There are about twenty chickens. If you add other people in the village, the eggs produced are not good. It’s not much. In this neighborhood, except for the ones you gave to the yamen, there are not many other things to buy. It may not be suitable for Grandpa Chun to do it. By the way, you can raise pigs. Yes, it must be more convenient, you won’t mistake poisonous weeds or something, maybe it can prevent epidemics and raise them better. If you can get some beans to make tofu and so on, then this bean dregs can also raise pigs and raise pigs. It takes only one or two years for two or three to be sold, and the price is more than ten taels, or even 20 taels, which is enough for the grandpa and grandson to live. Once a year, sell the big ones and continue to buy small ones, and so on. Afraid of being worthless? At home, Grandpa Shangchun still has two acres of land. With this supplement, life must be going well."

When Jiao Shibo started like this, Jiao Yufeng's mind also opened up, and he said while thinking in circles in the room:

"This is a way. Not only that, but his yard is not small. We can also help plant two fruit trees, such as jujube trees. You don't need to take care of it, and you will have a harvest when the time comes. In addition, there are big guys around the yard this year. The honeysuckle and other things planted by my son can be worth a few silver when they are sold once a year. Add these together, okay, your Grandpa Chun calculates it carefully every year, and the profit is still good. Even if there is something wrong Sure, we are still here, with a little help, we can get through everything. After a few years, the child will grow up and be able to work with him, and the burden will be lightened."

After calculating this carefully, Jiao Yufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.This time, Jiao Dalai also told him about the grandson of Grandpa Chun's family, saying that he was asking him to help so that the Chun family would not be extinct.He also deliberately left five taels of silver, saying that he was asked to help him in due course. Now that he is like this, he can reply decently.Well, for the five taels, why not just wait for the child to come, and treat it as a meeting gift from Jiao Da?That's right, this is a good reason, so that when the money is in Grandpa Chun's hands, it will be more generous, so that I won't be reluctant to eat and drink for the sake of saving money and raising children.

By the way, there is one more thing he can do, which can help Grandpa Chun save money.

"Son, remember to remind me that I went to Jia's back street to collect some old clothes for children from five or six years old to ten or so years old. Whether it is summer clothes or winter clothes, we all need them. When the time comes, we will clean them for you." Your Grandpa Chun will send it, and it will save him more money than buying it."

"Hey, this is a good idea. Anyway, we always collect clothes. It's very easy."

Perhaps in the modern age, the father and son lived their own lives behind closed doors too much, and the relationship between relatives and so on was somewhat estranged. Now that we have come to such a world that pays attention to kinship, the father and son's understanding of this aspect has suddenly been opened. His eagerness and passion, obviously Jiao Da just let them wait for the opportunity to help, and when it was in their hands, he almost helped him for a whole day. I don't know if Grandpa Chun can bear this kind of enthusiasm.But anyway, with them, the child really came back right.In my uncle's house, no matter how easy it is, it can't be better than here. There is such a grandfather who regards him as the best and the lifeblood, and there are two enthusiastic relatives. In the future, this child named Hammer will become Jiao Shibo's closest brother. Already predictable.
