The fishing village just became the Hailuo Village, which was settled after the village head went to the yamen once. As for the taxation matter, because the involvement was a little bigger, it needed to be reported to the government office. Naturally, it was not so fast, but After all, this is good governance, and the county magistrate, in order to write his name in the county annals to gain a good reputation in the eunuch book, naturally wrote the situation of the fishing village in a very pitiful manner when reporting, not to mention Smelling sadness and hearing tears, but the population of the fishing village was indeed used, and some real figures of the land were reported. In this way, for such a small village that is similar to ants, naturally no one will appear Uninteresting obstruction, the matter of taxes is already [-]% to [-]% certainty out of [-]%.

Because of this, the whole village is very happy. Even those who don't know the key here, the village chief said one by one. Fortunately, after all, he is a good person and has a good heart. He is also convinced by the village chief. So in the end it was a happy event for the whole village.

With such a happy event, when Liu Bantou's family came to Jia's house to make a decision, naturally the people in the village would show their face even more, and they all came to congratulate each other, and even said Liu Bantou in a roundabout way. A lot of good words can be regarded as a happy event for his own village. Thank you. Bantou Liu has been working as a messenger for so many years, and it is the first time that the whole village waits to see him. With joy on his face, he couldn't help being a little closer to the people in this village, even the village head became more and more pleasing to the eye, he just thought that this person could do things well, could win over the villagers, and make him happy, isn't it? nice guy?I couldn't help thinking that if it was possible, I could support the old village chief a little bit.

It has to be said that people's fate is really unpredictable. The village head is now a grandfather, and he is lucky now.

It's just a matter of Yuniang's engagement. In the past one or two days, the county government asked the village chiefs of each village to go to the government office to discuss this year's summer harvest, and the county magistrate asked a few more questions. The team leader pointed the village chief to the county magistrate with just one glance, because to be honest, because just the day before the magistrate’s yamen had an official document on the tax of Hailuo Village, and the county magistrate asked him not to mention it, but returned it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate was so happy that he felt that the village was blessed, and the village head had a wink, so he immediately greeted the village head and said a few words, making the village head the leader of all villages this time. The most outstanding one in the parent-child party even won a reward of ten taels of silver from the county magistrate.

Although ten taels is not a lot for the county magistrate, how much savings can the village head have as a village head in such a rural place, the poorest fishing village in an inferior county?I'm afraid the family's savings are not worth ten taels, but now the village chief's hands and feet are trembling with joy, and his mind is even in a mess, not caring that this is still in the county government, in front of the county magistrate My mind is full of looking for this money to take home, so that the family can have an extra animal, and Qi, a scholar, bought a few acres of land outside, and his face was flushed.

And his blankly happy look has another meaning to the county magistrate. The county magistrate doesn't think that a village chief can be so shallow-sighted, and he can be so happy after looking at twelve taels. Naturally, he thinks this It was because it was rewarded by him, and the village chief felt that he had a big face, so he was so excited, and felt that the village chief was an honest man who knew what was good and bad, and his face became more and more warm, and he even said gently Allowing fishing villages to start paying taxes again from the time of autumn grain, this is life and death and exempting fishing villages from taxes for half a year.

At this moment, even Bantou Liu is jealous of the good luck of the village chief. He is not the county magistrate, nor is he the village chief. He knows both parties in detail. Naturally, he knows that he is probably the county magistrate at this moment. There is a difference, but can he say this?People are what he refers to, and because of the Jia family, naturally they will only help to smooth things over, calling the village head to thank the village chief for a quick reward, and complimenting the county magistrate for showing compassion for the poor and the weak, and loving the people like children, and then for a while He sighed at Hailuo Village again, saying that after suffering for so many years, now finally there is a day to turn around to look forward to, and he complimented the county magistrate in a disguised form as an honest and good official, making the county magistrate so happy that his eyebrows disappeared Just a trace.

The entire village here is full of happy events, and the Jia family is naturally even more happy. Yu Niang's marriage is certain, and the Qi family immediately started to discuss Luo Xing's marriage. Just to avoid the three-year death anniversary of Jia's father, and to have time for the family to accumulate some money, the scene will be more beautiful then.

Brother Xing on the other end also followed what he said before, carrying gifts, and took Jia Huan and Xiaosan to the private school in Qiushan Village, asking the old master to give the three brothers a scientific name, and signed up for the three brothers, ready to go to school .

If there are more students and more training, this old master knows what to do even if he is pedantic. This is a major matter related to his own livelihood. Naturally, he agreed with a good voice, and because the master's surname is Qi, no matter what He is also the uncle of the Qi family, and with the identity of his maternal uncle, he took the school exams and persuaded him carefully, before finally giving him the three names he wanted.

So far, Brother Xing finally has a big name called Jia Cheng, Jia Huan has become Jia Xun, and Xiaosan is Jia Ji. To be honest, these names are really not good, only the homophony is still good. Yes, one is Jiacheng, which means that Xing Geer is about to get married, implying that a good couple is born, and that in the future, they will be able to raise their eyebrows and have a harmonious family. As for Jia Huan, oh, no, it will be Jia Xun in the future, that is family training, yes The meaning of rigorous family management is also the expectation for the future of Jia's family. Only Shilu's family, a family with orderly inheritance, can say how about a family motto, right? I just hope that they will be well, and Xiaosan here, Jia Ji, this It is true that there are a lot of expectations and good grades, so why not expect this young child to be successful in the science examination and achieve good grades?

These are also the three brothers. Now Brother Xing is 15 years old, Jia Xun is [-] years old, and only Xiao San is only [-] years old, the youngest. At these ages, even a fool will feel that he has just started enlightenment. , only Xiaosan is the most likely to succeed in the imperial examination, turning this family into a scholarly family.

Brother Xing already valued the future of his younger brothers more. After all, he knew that he had the heavy responsibility of supporting his family, so he probably didn't have so much time to deal with the imperial examinations. I persuaded him, and this made him have the courage to give it a try. To be honest, how sure is he, he can get a famous test from himself, I am afraid that he himself may not believe it, he just wants to be able to study and improve, and he will have his own in the future. After the child, if he can enlighten the child, he will not let his child be like himself in the future, and it will be so difficult to read and write. It can be seen that his mind for reading is probably the purest.

As for Jia Xun, he has similar thoughts now. Although he feels that he may not be able to go far in the scientific examination with the accumulation of the previous generation, but he can still be born as a child, and there is hope for a scholar, but in the end the world After a lot of experience, people have experienced a lot of sophistication, it will inevitably be a little distracting, I'm afraid it will be too difficult to go up, so I also feel that it is quite in his mind that the master puts his hope on Xiaosan.

Only Xiaosan was a little ignorant, but she also knew that this opportunity to study was very rare. If it was last year, I would have never even thought about it. Naturally, I took my teacher's expectation as real, and I just felt that if I didn't work hard, I wouldn't pass the exam. If you are famous, you are simply sorry for your ancestors and brothers.

The three brothers saluted and thanked their master respectfully, and then their school career began.It's just that they are different from ordinary students, because they no longer have a father who can protect them from the wind and rain, so they always study for one day, take a day off, and use the rest day to support their families, and the master naturally knows that they The situation at home, of course, is allowed. In fact, it is not just them. Some of the children in the farm family can keep their ears off the window all day long and only read sage books. Help with things at home.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that he was burdened by his livelihood and had to be distracted, which led to the difficulties of this poor student, the misunderstanding of this poor student's background, and even led to the high-ranking officials from the poor family in the court. Rare reason.

Let's not go too far, because it's building a house, buying things, going to school, Yu Niang's engagement, and Xing Ge'er's marriage has to be prepared, Qi's frown has started to frown again these days The reason is very simple, that is, there is not much money. That night, Mrs. Qi held the silver box, counted one copper plate after another, and put it down after a while, frowning and said to Yu Niang:

"I thought I would buy some good things for you anyway, and I would buy eight pieces of silver to support you, but who would have thought that this silver is not enough to spend, there are only so much left, less than three Two silvers, our family can live on our own, but your dowry is still missing. You can't just use the dowry from the Liu family as a dowry, it's too ugly."

Yu Niang was originally a filial person, upon hearing this, she immediately said:

"Mother, don't worry, it will take three years anyway. Besides, even if you don't need those jewelry and buy more other things, you can still gather a few boxes, and you can pass by."

Hearing her daughter's words, how could Mrs. Qi agree, and hurriedly waved her hands and said:

"How can this be done? This is a major event in your life. In this way, let's accumulate more conch shells and make wind chimes from tomorrow. Although this thing is not worth much, it is always good to save more. Three years With time, even if you just collect one or two taels, you can buy a lot. Besides, at the end of the year, those pigs, chickens and ducks can be sold for money, so let’s just collect it.”

Jia Xun happened to be outside the door at the moment, and when he heard what the mother and daughter said, his heart was blocked, and he couldn't help but feel a little guilty. After earning a lot of money, it is no wonder that my mother is so worried. Thinking about the nearly 30 taels of silver I have saved these days, my heart is moved, and I am thinking about how to take this money out, so that my mother can feel at ease.From this point of view, Jia Xun is indeed a very filial child. He only cared about his mother, and he forgot his original idea of ​​using the money as capital.
