[Red Mansion] Father and Son Crossover

Things were indeed as Hou Tutou thought, there was a second time after the first time, and things went smoothly, even Jiao Da got a reward for helping to clear up a lot of troubles smoothly , I was wondering if I would follow the people in the village and buy some wasteland next year when I opened up wasteland.The only one who was a bit confused was probably Jiao Yufeng.

He, just such an ordinary person who can hardly be found on the streets of the capital, a commoner whose status is almost at the bottom, suddenly became a noble servant in this period of time Competing to befriend the characters?How do you say that you even know nearly half of the low-level officials?

"I just thought, this Hou Butou... is too good at turning things around. Also, these officials... think too complicated. Obviously, the number of officials in this country may not be the same in the whole country. How can this brain turn out so many things when one saves so much?"

Jiao Yufeng, who seldom had a small meal at home, and his son commented on the operation in the capital for a long time. The final conclusion was that these people were mentally ill.And more importantly, let Jiao Yufeng further confirm that there are too many officials in this era, which is beyond the comprehension of people like him.

"If you want me to say, this is also the result of elite education. What is the literacy rate at the moment? Is it [-]%? Who are the literate people? At least they are small wealthy households. What kind of thing? Adding layers of examinations, the elimination rate of a few percent, those who can really become an official, except those who are under the shadow, it is not an exaggeration to say that people are the best of the best, such people , can’t the brain work well? And what’s wrong with smart people? Don’t they think too much?”

Jiao Shibo didn't think much about his father's feelings, maybe he had no direct contact with them, or he had too little experience from the sidelines, so what he said was very straightforward and simple. What is the connection.

"Okay, Dad, don't think too much about these things after you've passed them. It's all about them being officials. What does it have to do with us? There will be basically no chance of contact in the future, so Quan Dang will wander around. Wouldn’t it be enough to get to know a few more people? Besides, it’s a windfall, so why don’t you just go to Hengdian to be a group performer? Why are you thinking so much?”

Jiao Shibo felt that his father was just a puppet on the surface, and it was a cover for the various houses to separate the relationship.But here he was happily counting the money and comforting his father, and Wang Dalang, who had just returned from the city, brought them back a piece of news that was very relevant to them.Hou Tutou really became an official, really a county lieutenant, or a place near them. From the administrative level, it belongs to the county lieutenant of the county seat attached to the capital, and belongs to a middle-level county, so this official. . .Hey, why is it also an eighth grade?

That's right, it is the eighth rank, because the magistrate of the middle county is the seventh rank, so the county magistrate is from the seventh rank, or the eighth rank, and the county lieutenant and the chief book are from the eighth rank, don't look at it seems that the official rank is low The ones are the same as ants, but they already belong to the miscellaneous officials, which are quite a few ranks higher than the usual low-ranking, or ninth-rank candidates, or patrol inspections. Make up the county magistrate's qualifications.Hou Tutou, that is really a step up to the sky!

"County lieutenant? Became an official? No."

"I've seen it for real. It's the Hou Butou who showed us the land. I've seen it a few times in the past when I sent you things to the yamen from a distance. I've seen it right. Although I didn't know the clothes, I don't know. What, but I can always understand what the people around me say, and I always know which county government they are in."

Obviously, the fact that Hou Tutou became an official did not have a little impact on Jiao Yufeng and his son, but to Wang Dalang, the person who had been so close to talk and walked in the field with them suddenly Turning over and becoming an official, he was also a little incoherent with excitement, and he didn't have to wait for Jiao Yufeng and his son to say anything, the words began to flow out.

If you add that he knows something about what Jiao Yufeng did recently, there will be more words, and the thoughts in his mind will be even more chaotic.

"Jiao Dalang, didn't you and this Hou...Hou county lieutenant a while ago, you met so many masters and so many people with you, what about you, do you have such an opportunity?

meeting?If you can really wear an official robe, hey, this, shouldn't our village be smoking? "

Wait, shouldn't such a thing be smoked from the ancestral grave? How did it come to Wang Dalang's mouth and become the whole village?That's not right, when did it say that Jiao Yufeng could become an official?How did this get involved?Jiao Shibo felt that his mind was a little messed up, so he pulled it in a hurry. His father, who was a little dazed, wanted him to say something quickly. If nothing else, at least stop Wang Dalang's brain hole, right, and let him continue yelling like this I'm afraid that the whole village will think that his father has become an official.

At the critical moment, Jiao Yufeng was still very strong. When Wang Dalang almost picked up someone to talk and vent, he stopped him, angrily forced him to go to the other side, poured a bowl of water, and let him calm down. ,arrive:

"You should at least find someone who can do this daydream, can you do it well? This daydream is bright and bright. If you don't know it, you might think you're in a daze. If it's all messed up, if it doesn't look good, I'll be an official? How is that possible?"

"Why is that impossible? Didn't you go there together? Didn't you know someone together? Why is it that only Hou Butou is the official? You don't have a share?"

"Going out just because of this, I was supposed to serve him, because he is a member of the yamen, because his family's ancestors have been subordinates for several generations, they are fast catchers, and have many connections. On the other hand, you are looking at me, Apart from my uncle, how many relationships do you need? Even my uncle is just a personal guard, not even a stray, no, he doesn't even have the slightest official position. Besides, even if there is such an opportunity, he should It's my uncle, oh, I also confused you, this step of becoming an official is the most important step from scratch, Hou Tutou is from his ancestors, he laid the foundation well, here is a chance You can soar into the sky. But our family... even if my uncle was a good guy in the early years, there is hope now, but it’s not a failure, so ah, don’t even think about this official or something It is more reliable for the children and grandchildren to study and test out to be a childlike scholar."

Don't look at what Jiao Yufeng said, and his analysis is very reasonable. Hearing this, Wang Dalang was frustrated and discouraged, but Jiao Shibo knew that his father was not unresponsive. Hearing this series of words, he would know that this is the time to catch the head and become an official. , the impact on him was not so great.It's not that I don't have any thoughts in my heart, otherwise I won't be able to control so much.Also, the legacy of the official standard for thousands of years, even in modern times, a single official character can make countless people bleed.Let alone now.Not to mention the situation where people around him climbed up, it's a sickness if their mood fluctuates.

So what if you are more excited?Those words just now can't explain the problem?Even Jiao Yufeng himself knew that this was the truth. He had no chance, even if the matter was reversed, and he was the person in charge and the one who took the lead, he also had no chance.

So after saying this, Jiao Yufeng had firmly suppressed any fluctuations in his heart, and could sit down peacefully, and continued to pour the small glass of wine into his mouth, although his hands shook a little, Although the wine spilled out better.But in the end, the scene was stable, and he could comfort the depressed Wang Dalang, who was rubbing his head with a smile, and said:

"It's good that he became a county lieutenant. Although he doesn't take care of us, but anyway, with such a relationship, we can be regarded as getting to know another official. Don't think that this official is not as high as the lintel of the Jia family, but as the saying goes Well said, the King of Hades is easy to see, and the little ghost is hard to deal with. It is really difficult to ask the Jia family about things. With him, we have a place to turn to. With his current official status and his family's No matter how many years of contacts, if something happens in the capital, it will be very easy to help us."

Eh, this really makes sense. The more Wang Dalang thought about it, the more reasonable he became, and his thoughts began to move. It wasn't stupid at all, but he stretched his head and asked Jiao Yufeng here after thinking about it for a while:

"If you say that, we have to maintain this relationship. Then this time, shouldn't we congratulate you with a gift? Jiao Dalang, look..."

gift?This is really necessary, but what to give is very important, and it must be within the tolerance of their village, and it must be remembered by Hou Butou. With such a list, it seems that there are not many things that can be given away. .

"If you want insurance

Some, go to visit first, and see if he is suddenly going to be a county captain. If there is anything missing, I will send it when I know it, and I guarantee it will be delivered. "

"That's it, I'll go find someone. I have a cousin in that county, and I'm well-informed."

"In addition, I reckon that I'm going to be an official over there. If nothing else, the move is inevitable. We may be able to prepare some things for the move, such as some furniture. Well, this is probably going to cost a lot , if it doesn’t work, it’s okay to hunt some prey directly. The food should definitely be what you want, but if you give this food, you will eat it after eating it, and you may not be able to remember it for a long time..."

"Ask first, it's more cost-effective to send it after you figure it out."

"Okay, then ask first."

Hearing these two discussing like this, Jiao Shibo was a little speechless, waiting for you to discuss it, will they still be short by then?Why don't you want this?Alas, it seems that this matter still has to be considered by oneself, such as the leather at home, such as those golden melon seeds, for example. . .From Jiao Shibo's point of view, it is more memorable to give nothing than to give valuables.What a real kid.
