A few days later, Brother Xing officially took over the position of the teacher who was educated in the ancestral hall, and Master Wei's family also arranged a salute and prepared to send Master Wei to Beijing.Yes, it's not the whole family leaving, but Mrs. Wei alone. It's normal to say that, after all, Mrs. Wei just got a recommendation for the Jia family's invitation to take over the master, and hasn't officially confirmed whether he can really take over the job. If everything goes well with the job, then needless to say, he will definitely come to pick up the whole family immediately. The Jia family has plenty of room for a wife like him to live in. If it fails, then he needs to find another job. And in this way, apart from staying at a friend's house for a while, it is impossible to have a fixed residence, and naturally it is impossible for the family to suffer along with it.

Although the family is in the countryside, the house is spacious and there is no need to worry about food and clothing. Why rush to the capital to suffer like that, not to mention that if the whole family goes, it is not easy for him to stay at a friend's house, so he can only live in an inn, or in other places. Renting a house, in this way, the cost will inevitably increase, which is not something people like them can afford.

Although Master Wei came to this Hailuo Village, life has been getting better and better, and the family business has gradually prospered. In total, there are about one hundred taels of income in one year and one year. After being recruited, many families of gentry and eunuchs in the county also sent some congratulatory gifts, congratulating me for having another talented person in my hometown, but after all, it was nothing but floating wealth, even if all the money was collected I paid more than 300 taels, which seems to be a lot, but it still cannot change the fact that the Wei family is still the middle and lower class in the scholar class. It is necessary to be diligent and frugal, and to make more calculations.

As it is now, Mrs. Wei is wholeheartedly looking for a good job, expecting to earn enough money from the job of single product, which will be worth the previous year's income, while on the other hand, half of the savings at home has been withdrawn, and they all go to work. Bought a field, which increased the property of the family to [-] mu. They even thought that if Master Wei arrived in the capital and everything went well, then they were going to exchange all their money for land except for the necessary expenses. The goal is to make the family property more than one hundred mu as soon as possible, so as to save enough property for future generations to support the family and reproduce.It is estimated that they used to be poor and afraid of having nothing, but now this family is quite enthusiastic about saving money.

Of course, these are the Wei family's own calculations. Others don't know about it. The people in the village are the most honest. Jiafu Road is very affordable. During the delivery process, all of them were exchanged for silver, or one or two two, or three or five. The most affluent people in the village like Xing Ge'er, it is even a shot It is ten taels of silver, in this small land boundary, that is definitely an astronomical figure.

"It's not that I don't know where it's used so much. Although each family is still passable, it's also very tight. In the past few years, the work at the end of the year has not earned much money. Keep more and buy more books. That's what matters."

Master Wei was very moved when he saw the villagers like this. His family spent a lot of money on the land, so that he only brought 50 taels of silver when he went out this time. The expenses were too high, and the villager didn't want to see him off, but he also came up with this figure, so how could he not be moved.

"Master, this is everyone's wish. It's better to go outside than at home, especially in the capital city. It's very expensive. It's okay if the journey goes smoothly. If something happens, at least you have money in hand, so you can rely on it. Besides Yes, you are going to the mansion of the duke of the state, such a family, even servants, most of them have two respectable eyes and a rich heart, if you don't buy decent clothes, I'm afraid you will be killed instead. People underestimated it, and took the silver with them. At least after arriving in the capital, I changed into an outfit first, so it might go smoothly."

What Jia Xun said was the most truthful, Mr. Wei was a little dazed for a moment when he said something, he is not Jia Xun, he really doesn't know about these things, but if he can be admitted to Juren, it means that he is definitely not an idiot, Jia Xun was just such a reminder, and he immediately understood the key here, and nodded gratefully to Jia Xun.

"You're right, but I've overlooked this point. People rely on their clothes and horses, so they should be respectable. By the way, you guys often go to the capital, do you know about this? Those of me My friends or my family background are not as good as mine, or my family never cares about these things, but there is no place to ask."

What he said actually meant something else. He wanted to ask if there were any shops in the capital he was familiar with. If so, he would be able to bring his friends to take care of the business in the future. He would not talk about his comings and goings, and it would be convenient for him to send letters to others in the future. What.It can be said to kill two birds with one stone. From this point, it can be seen that Mr. Wei is definitely not the kind of pedantic person who does not eat the fireworks of the world and does not know the basic necessities of life.

When Jia Xun heard this, he immediately understood what Master Wei meant, nodded and said:

"In our village, we have been friends with the shopkeeper of Furuiju all the year round. We went to the capital to sell fish catches together. We do have a few familiar shops. The Ma's shop in the west city sells southern goods. In the past, we shipped them to the county. Most of the things in the south of the house were purchased by their family. Uncle Ma is a kind man. Although he is a bit greedy for alcohol, he is the most thoughtful and meticulous in doing things, and he is also honest. If there is anything going south, it is best to ask him. Yes, there is also the Qianjia cloth shop in Nanshi, that is also a place to go. Their family sells cloth from south to north, even in our county, and they often come here. If you want to send a letter back, you can hand it over to him. When the time comes, make an appointment, and I'll help you fetch it and teach it to my wife. The shopkeeper Qian is a man of the world, and he is the most loyal. If you have any difficulties, you can ask for help. His father-in-law's family has some contacts with the rich and powerful in the capital, and he is still a branch of the Royal Merchant. There are all of them. If the Jia family is not going well, maybe there will be a suitable family there. Then there is the Furuiju head office, which is the most reliable family. With the face of the big shopkeeper, if there is any urgent matter, it is money. If you don’t join hands, it’s okay to turn around one or two times, as long as you report the name of our village and explain the situation, no matter how bad it is at the end of the year, we will always have money exchanges, and they don’t have to worry about us reneging on debts..."

One by one, Jia Xun talked about the most reliable people in the capital for the past few years, and almost handed over all the contacts in Hailuo Village in the capital to Mr. Wei, which made Mr. Wei look a lot more serious.Don't think it's just a few words, but this favor is huge, let alone how many benefits he can get from such a day, but now he has nothing to do, just tell him these backhands, It is enough for Master Wei to remember Jia Xun and the favor of the whole Hailuo Village. If there is anything in the village in the future, he will not be able to evade it at all, otherwise it will be ungrateful.

How much Mr. Wei owes to the village has long been beyond words, so he doesn't care much about it. What he cares about is that in such a remote village, a village close to the sea, even if he is richer, he will only pay for it. When there are only a few contacts, but you don't want to involve so many people, it can be seen that whether the village chief in this village or Jia Xun standing in front of him is a visionary, otherwise he wouldn't be able to stretch his arms so long. So, does it also explain from another angle that Jia Xun has long since left the village to venture into the outside world?If this is the case, then when he goes to the capital this time, it can be regarded as walking for the children in the village. If he can gain a firm foothold in the capital, maybe he will see more people from the village appear in the capital in the future , while helping them, I will also get the most beneficial help, that is, the township party.

The village chief was listening to Jia Xun babbling about these people in the capital to Mrs. Wei, and he was also thinking while listening, let alone, he knew all these people, but he knew them all, but he never seemed to be like them. Now that I have such a clear understanding, listening to Jia Xun carefully distinguishing these people's character, likes and dislikes, and even the connections behind them, the village chief seemed to know Jia Xun for the first time, and carefully described him from head to toe. After sizing it up, he thought to himself:

Among the boys in the village, the second child of the Jia family is probably the most personal sperm. You can tell from what he said. I'm afraid this kid already knew about it several years ago, so he can keep his face He has a clear understanding of other people's affairs, and he has been able to hide it for so many years. It can be seen that he is a formidable person. The most important thing is, how old was this kid at that time?Sure enough, this person is capable beyond his youth!It's just a pity, this kid is going to take a scientific examination, I heard that he is quite talented, otherwise, let this kid be the village head in the future, I am afraid that his village will be more prosperous in the future.

The person who thinks the same as the village head may be Mr. Wei. After Jia Xun finished speaking, he took a deep look at Jia Xun, then patted him on the shoulder vigorously, and said softly:

"You are good at studying. I will help you find some useful books in the capital. I am waiting for you to come to the capital to take the test. I will try it. I look forward to the day when you will rise to the top."

For scholars, this is the most direct and best wish. Jia Xun saluted Master Wei very seriously, then watched him bid farewell to everyone, and watched him get on the donkey cart and head west all the way , This is the person in the village who has truly gone out, and the first person in Hailuo Village to go to the prosperous world. He is also looking forward to, looking forward to his achievements.
