The two brothers were so embarrassed that they were immersed in the memories, and they didn't want to turn around and were hit by a big surprise from the village head. The village head came this time, and he wanted Brother Xing to take over the Meng Xue behind the ancestral hall. This decision, let alone It's Brother Xing, even Jia Xun felt a little different for a while, as if for the first time he realized his family's status in the village, his own identity.Brother Xing couldn't help but said:

"Village Chief, I, is it really me? A fisherman who goes out to sea? A wife?"

"What fisherman, you are now a scholar. Even though you are only the last one, you are still a scholar. Look at the other villages around you. Which village has a scholar who is a master? You are already enough to earn face."

The village head stared at him, dissatisfied with Brother Xing's rhetoric, and felt that he hated iron and steel, so he smacked his mouth and knocked on the cigarette stick, then suppressed his dissatisfaction, and seriously said:

"You also know that Mrs. Wei is now a Juren. Over the years, because of his own ability and hard work, his wife also manages the family well. Now not only do they have some land, but also because of the fame of Juren. I got some benefits. Those who depend on their family and rely on their property will always give some rice every year. In this way, they can make a hundred taels a year, but the money is here. It looks good, but if you go to the capital, it will not be enough. Master Wei wants to be admitted to the Jinshi, and if he wants to seek an official, the money must be in the sea. He has to go out, so he also intends to go to the capital or the capital. In a wealthy place nearby, find a rich family or something to set up a museum. In this kind of place, you can invite a teacher, not to mention clothes all year round, and provide all pens, inks, papers and inkstones. , you can save the profits of the past five or six years. If you can save a little, you can even earn a hundred acres of land."

Speaking of this, the village chief also blushed a little. This Master Wei is now a Juren, but their village has never increased the number of Master Wei's Shuxiu. It is also because of his own negligence. Going to the capital, he couldn't even stop him, he was really ashamed.

"At least he's a recruiter. He's a little too talented to be a teacher here. He's like this. Even if he goes to the academy, he can get a position as a teacher. So, after thinking about it, it's really not easy to stop him. , It is also because of his intentions, this should have been said a long time ago, but he has been holding back until now that your brother has won the fame of a scholar, and then he said it, saying that the second son is a little more talented than Xing brother in reading , maybe you can still go up, but brother Xing, when he was enlightened, he was a little older, and he had the responsibility of supporting the family, and he was still the pillar of the family. Now that he has such an identity, he will not be insulted , It’s okay, don’t force it too much, so let Xing Geer take his place, not to mention that he can have 40 taels of silver to subsidize his family every year, even if he has a good reputation, he can do it in one place Taking advantage of this time to work hard, maybe it will take a few years, and you can go to the township test field to try, even if you fail, in the future, there will be peaches and plums everywhere, so you should give more help. After all, your brothers are a little thinner."

The more the village chief talked, the more he felt that he could not live with Mrs. Wei. Looking at them, they were really thinking about their own village, even the Jia family brothers, who were also helpful and thoughtful everywhere. They were really affectionate and righteous to the extreme. It is really wise to bring this family here to settle down. It is wise not to be so wise. He is old and smart, so he naturally knows why Mr. Wei did this. First, when his family fell to the lowest point, it was the village that gave They have a real estate to live and live in, a job to support their families, and secondly, Master Wei has no brothers and no one to rely on than the Jia family. Apart from relatives, the most reliable people in this world are the township party, teachers and students. In the village, or among the students he teaches, there may be one or two who will be successful in the future. If they don't ask for immediate help, at least they can help his children in the future, not to mention that his family is now thirty. The mu of land is near this village, and when he goes to the capital in the future, most of the land will need the help of the villagers to take care of it.

It's just that people help each other, and it's common for people to come and go, and it can't be counted as calculations. He can think about it like this, and it's rare for him not to show off in the village with the air of a person, and now he can still Thinking so carefully is just a matter of fact, he can only speak well.

Sure enough, the Jia brothers couldn't help but praise each of them, and Xing Ge'er was even more excited. He knew his own ability, and he was not as diligent as his brothers in studying. After all, the family was still waiting to earn money. As for money, how much can he focus on studying?To be able to get to this point, most of it is because I don't want to be dragged down too much by my younger brother, and I am afraid that my face will not look good, so I forced myself to make progress. Now that I have the teacher's words, I know that I can go in the future I am full of joy to have such a long-term, safe, and decent job. Not to mention anything else, in the future, when his child goes out, if people ask him, he can be said to be the son of a scholar. Being a school teacher is respected and has status, not a fisherman or a farmer, which is the most common and inconspicuous.

Not to mention their power, as soon as their status has increased, they look down on their past livelihoods. To put it bluntly, this is just the meaning of people going to high places and water flowing to low places. Who would not want to go out if they are decent?Vanity or something can only be said by people with capital, right?

"Master's words are indeed appropriate. It can be seen that Master has been thinking about it for more than a day, and he doesn't know how to get to the capital. There are dignitaries everywhere in the capital. Rare."

Jia Xun was also happy for Brother Xing, by the way, he felt that Mrs. Wei had good eyesight, and could see the goodness of his elder brother, well, in his brother's eyesight, his elder brother was naturally better than others.Master’s job is really good, not to mention the stable income of 40 taels that year, it’s from the village, although it’s not very high, but it’s not bad, it’s just that there are more and more elementary schools nowadays, there are twenty or thirty Student, every family is well-off now, and those who live three years and two years old often give some gifts, which is not a lot of money. If it is converted, it is as much as half a year of Shuxiu. If you add in being a scholar, you can give People write pleading papers, do insurance and other things, Xinggeer is afraid that this year it will be more than 80 to [-] taels. This kind of income, in a village as rich as theirs, can definitely belong to the high-income group. Don't you Forget that it is only him, not the number of future prospects of the whole family.

Because of this, it was rare for Jia Xun to talk too much about Mrs. Wei. He didn't necessarily expect others to know about it, but at least he expressed his concern.Not to mention, the village chief is more responsible than the gossip party, yet he really knows.

"I also asked about this matter. Anyway, he is a person who went out from our village. I treat him like my own child. If it really doesn't work, I wonder if I should ask him to find the adult who named our village back then. , I heard that he has been promoted to Tongzhi, this speed, that is the fifth grade, as long as you remember us, even if it is just a casual word, he can have a good place. I don’t think this kid is really a It is successful, said that when I went to the capital city for the rural examination a few years ago, I met a lot of friends in the same subject, and now I often exchange letters. It happened that a classmate mentioned that it was originally from a family school of a wealthy family in the capital city. The clan elder who assumed the role of master was sick and weak, and the grandson who was raised alone was also a little disappointed. He was really out of energy, so he needed an outside master to help and teach more and more clan children and boys who were attached to the school. He is a child of an official family after all, so from the very beginning, he only needs to raise people. Shuxiu is not low, with 70 taels of silver, and he also provides accommodation and food. Master Wei wants to try it. If it is really good, he will also It can be regarded as having a place to stay in the capital, firstly, to prepare more for the future test, and secondly, even if you fail the test, relying on the friends you made in the capital during the teaching period, you may be able to find a good one directly lack."

The village chief didn't know much about the matter of recruiting people to become officials, and what he said later was a bit unclear. He thought he was directly repeating what Mr. Wei said, but Jia Xun understood what was going on as soon as he heard it. That's how it is. Many Jinshi and those who were born as Jinshi, because they have no connections and don't know how to manage, wait a long time for vacancies. They often only get a vacancy in one or two years. It is even more difficult to become an official with the help of others. I think that when Mr. Wei was in the capital, he might have inquired about the key points here. Now he wants to test the water and see if he has the ability Without this fate, if he can get the appreciation of the aristocratic family masters he teaches, he will definitely be able to get the position faster than he can slowly find out by himself. After all, there are only a few places in three years, and there are so many candidates across the country. The chances are really slim, not to mention that they are students in the north where the scientific examination is relatively weak. It is more reliable to be realistic.

It's just that the situation of this school seems to Jia Xun to feel more and more familiar the more he listens. . . . . .

"Which family's ethnology is it? How come there was only one master before?"

"Oh, speaking of it, there is a close relationship. That family is also surnamed Jia. It is said that it is the mansion of the Duke of the State, or the kind of a duo. It is really a wealthy family. Such a family is different. For the sake of the family My child, I have deliberately built an ethnology, and I think their population is also very prosperous."

The village chief showed envy while talking, while Jia Xun was already a little dumbfounded.How can I hear about the Jia family everywhere?Surely there is no way to avoid it?
