Jia Huan's rebirth and revenge

Jia Xun didn't go directly to find the young master of the Xu family, because he didn't know if he had returned from the capital, so he went to find someone to inquire. Fortunately, it was late April after all, even the palace examination had ended. Those literary meetings in the capital have naturally ended long ago. The young master of the Xu family, a scholar, has no possibility of stealing the limelight from the newly recruited Hanlin Scholars in the capital. He has already returned to the county seat. Let alone him, it is Xishan Academy The rest of them came back together, and when Jia Xun passed by, it happened to be a break between them going home and going back to the academy to study.

"Your book list is complete. If it is full, add some famous literati's travel notes, history books and the like, you don't need to buy more if you want to take the exam."

It’s not been a day or two since the young master of the Xu family knew Jia Xun. It can be said that he was the one who watched Jia Xun get up. Seeing the young man standing in front of him, he still couldn’t help but sigh with emotion. Yi changed quickly. Back then, the clothes on his body were patched everywhere, his face was a bit disheveled, and he was as thin as a [-]-year-old child, but now he is still dressed in clean and tidy [-]-year-old long clothes, with a full face. With a bookish air, every word and deed, and that eager to study, but neither humble nor overbearing, the atmosphere is not like a child from an ordinary remote fishing village.The transition between these is really unbelievable.

"I have most of these books here. If you want to copy them, you can just copy them. They are not rare ancient books. As for the ones that don't exist, we can find them in our academy. It's just that you may not be able to succeed in the past. After all, those are all books from the academy. Generally, I don’t lend them, so let’s do this, I need these too, why don’t I copy them first, and then I will lend them to you.”

It really surprised Jia Xun to help to such an extent. It is said that although they have a good relationship, they are not close to this level. The young master of the Xu family has contributed so much, and Jia Xun is somewhat uneasy. Why, thinking that there is nothing in my own home that people can seek, at least I feel relieved.

He felt relieved here, but the young master of the Xu family spoke again:

"I've also heard that now the brothers in your family are all going to school, and the family business has also risen. This is a good thing. You study well and get promoted in the imperial examination. If you work hard like this for one or two generations, your family is also a farming and studying heirloom." My family may not be worse than mine."

What he said is absolutely the truth, and it is because he himself is really generous that he can say such things. The Xu family is definitely not a small family in the county, and it is also a family with roots. It can be traced back to the source, but it is only three or four generations ago. It has just developed. It is said that it was just an ordinary small merchant. Later, during the war years, one of the ancestors rescued a female family member of a former official family and married her into the door. Studying and progressing, so after the founding of the country, in the first few imperial examinations, one was lucky enough to get a Jinshi, and he was an official for more than ten years. When he finally became an official, he was already a fourth rank. This is why their family's status in the county is so high One of the reasons for the consolidation.

The later generations may have established the country for a long time. After the style of writing was revived, the imperial examination became more and more difficult. Even the two generations only produced a few candidates, but after all, there was such an official above, so they were confused anyway. Some official positions, either seventh-rank or sixth-rank, the official position is not high but they always maintain the status of officials and eunuchs. This is why the whole county is considered to be second to none. After all, this is not Jiangnan, it is the Chinese style of the whole country. Relatively weak frontier lands.If it weren't for the fact that this place belongs to Gyeonggi-do, maybe even ten miles and eight villages might not be able to find a few families with official backgrounds.

The young master of the Xu family is good to Jia Xun. Most of them also saw that their family and his family had similar meanings when they made a fortune. It takes a lot of perseverance and hard work to move from an ordinary family to a farming and studying heirloom. Only people who have experienced this kind of experience know that ordinary small households have the opportunity to make a fortune, most of them have set up shops and become merchants. There are not many people who buy land but send all the men to study, so they can be regarded as farsighted.Under such circumstances, the young master of the Xu family naturally hopes that there will be more such scholars in his hometown, not to mention anything else, at least he can support the style of writing in this county. As long as there are more such families, it is hard to say In the past few years, during the scientific examination in this provincial government, this county may become a major county for scientific examination.

Don't think that the name of such a large scientific research county is useless. Maybe it's because there is almost nothing to see in the south of the Yangtze River, but officials like them actually know very well that in remote places, if there is a large scientific research county , then the entire provincial government may divert educational resources to this place, not for anything else, just to produce a few more Jinshi in the future, and to expand the power of the entire province. Perhaps the whole province may benefit from an old Shangshu or something.This belongs to the political bureau, and it is difficult for ordinary people to understand.

Jia Xun has nothing to understand, even though he was once a member of a noble family and a family of officials, but after all, he has no access to these things, and no one taught them, but this cannot prevent him from feeling the kindness of the young master of the Xu family and encourage their family to study, so they said happily:

"We don't want to be able to compare with your mansion. How can there be such good fortune? I just want to improve a lot. I don't want to say anything else. It's just that I won't be deceived when I go out in the future. Let alone our family, Nowadays, many people in our village think the same way. They walked to the capital city last winter, and many people said that they have gained knowledge. In the past, when paddling in a small piece of land by the sea, they could only see an acre of themselves. Three-point land, I don’t think much of it, I only found out when I went outside, we are co-authors, we are all bumpkins, and we don’t understand anything, it’s not that, now our village is preparing to learn from Jianmeng, and we want to invite a gentleman to come, nothing else, just Please let everyone in the village be able to read and write, not to be blind, to be able to count, and not to be deceived."

Hearing that the whole village had such an idea, the young master of the Xu family became more and more happy, and couldn't help pointing at Jia Xun and said:

"Needless to say, it must be you who started it. That's fine. If you have such a heart and can strive for progress, your village will be better in the future. No wonder the county magistrate wants to name your village himself. It's really extraordinary. , Lonicera, go, ask the housekeeper to take 50 taels of silver, this is also a major cultural and educational event in our county, since I know, I can't ignore it, you go and give this money to your village chief, just say this It is my pen, ink and silver that helps the village to let the children study hard."

It was really a pleasant surprise. For this trip, not only did I get the job of copying books, but I also got such a sum of money. Thinking of the whale meat and some seafood I brought, it was really a little thinner. I couldn't help but blush a little.

"This, what an embarrassment, I have a thick skin."

The money was not for him, but for the village. Even though he felt a little blushing, he couldn't say no to it. That was not what he should say, so he hesitated for a long time before saying such a sentence.Instead, he laughed at what the young master of the Xu family said, just smiled and sighed again, and then said:

"Now that you are studying, do you still do this thing of going to sea?"

"Why don't we do it? We don't know much about the work in the field, so we can only rent it out to others. In this way, the harvest will naturally be less. If we don't pay close attention to the work in our hands to make money, how can we go to school?" Well, going to sea is not such a hard thing, the sea and the sky are the same color, it is quite interesting to look at it from another angle."

Jia Xun's optimism can still find a reason, so the young master of the Xu family can't stop nodding,

"It's good if you can continue to work. Although the progress of reading is slow, in this way, your health will not be bad. You always hide in the house and study hard. Even if you read well, your body can't hold it. Are you I don’t know, this time I was really scared in the capital. In February, it was so cold, wearing single clothes, and taking the exam in the exam room with air leaks everywhere. Unfortunately, it was the coldest time of the month, and there were no less than a dozen of them who were lifted out just because they were frozen, not to mention the failure of the exam, even this serious illness, I don’t know how many people will be ruined.”

Hearing the young master of the Xu family talk about this, Jia Xun suddenly thought of Jia Zhu. In his last life, he seemed to take the exam this time and then died. So, maybe this time is the same?Frozen one of those being carried out?

"A lot of people are not well?"

"No, I heard it when I came here. The Rongguo Mansion, which was in trouble a while ago, is one of them. The uncle of the second room whose reputation was ruined in their family was brought out this time. I heard that it is already a He is terminally ill, and he is also a miserable person. I heard that he had a good reputation outside, and he was quite capable in his studies and examinations. He even married the daughter of the Guozijianji Restaurant. It shows how good he is, and he doesn't want to fail Not to mention being a good parent, this time he encountered such a disaster. I heard that when he was seriously ill, he didn't want to take medicine, saying that he was just sad, and originally wanted to use his good grades in the scientific examination to intercede for his mother. Yes, now there is no hope, and I am very disappointed.”

It’s really the big brother. For some reason, Jia Xun suddenly felt sour in his heart. Although he is cruel to many people, especially Mrs. Wang, and even her children, he is also his own big brother. Hearing him like this, then This kind of emotion connected by blood still grabbed his heart in the first place.

Maybe Jia Xun's face changed quickly, maybe the young master of the Xu family thought he was frightened, so he turned around and said:

"Don't worry, even though this is the case, most of them can still survive. It can only be said that those who are carried out usually don't know how to take care of themselves. Their bodies are too poor, so they can't survive. Your family is so mature. People who spend their lives at sea every day, among other things, this tight body is really envied by others."

Although it is very consoling to say this, it is not consoling in the end, but Jia Xun has lived in this world for a few years, even if his mind is in a trance for a while, he comes back to his senses very quickly, and he is busy keeping up with the situation. The topic started to talk about things at sea.
