Take the farm down to earth

Chapter 117

"Okay," Shi Zhongkui interrupted the two of them, "Second Brother's two members, half of them are for Yingchun, so as not to cause trouble before they get married.

Moreover, although Baochai is the main house, Jiaxue and Jiaxue are relatives after all. "

That's what I said, but in comparison, Baochai has 2 taels of silver in his hand in less than a year.

Although Yingchun holds half of the shares in the restaurant, it is only 2000 taels a year at most.

If Jia She, the real father, counts Yingchun's shares in the restaurant again, after Yingchun has a child in the future, he will definitely not pay attention to Jia She.

Jia Lian was overjoyed, Xue Pan wanted to quarrel at first, but when he saw Shi Zhongkui's serious expression, he immediately gave up.

Jia Lian rolled his eyes, pulled Xue Pan aside and muttered something.

At the beginning, Xue Pan's face was not only stiff, but also regretful.

But Jia Lian's next few words made him happy again.

Shi Zhongkui didn't even need to guess, he knew that Jia Lian must be saying, who told you, Xue Da fool, to show off, forcing your brother-in-law to think about the back house.

Only then did Xue Pan show a regretful expression.

Then Jia Lian must have said that since Yingchun has benefited, he is not qualified to ask for anything else, so Baochai must still be in charge of the big head.

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile. To be honest, the status of the Jia family is higher than that of the Xue family by more than one level.

It can even be said that the Xue family is largely a businessman.

To give the Jia family a face, not only can make better use of his family's network, but also stabilize the stability of the back house.

Xue Pan walked back with a smile and said, "I will do what my brother wants. However, my brother will be an official in the court in the future. Does my sister need to help take care of the money matters?"

Jia Lian was stunned. I didn't expect you fool Xue to have such a scheming plan?

Shi Zhongkui shook his head with a smile, "Okay, you two go back and discuss this matter with Baochai, I just pay for it."

Xue Pan was overjoyed, and looked at Jia Lian again in embarrassment.

Jia Lian gave Xue Pan a blank look, and sighed inwardly.

However, as long as Yingchun is smarter, she won't have other thoughts.

After all, Shi Zhongkui's move is in the Confucianism society, and it is considered light to say that it is against common sense.

Yingchun must be moved more in his heart.

Once this woman is moved, she will give up her heart to men, let alone ancient women.

At the same time, he also recognized that Baochai could only be the housekeeper in the future.

But if there is 2000 taels of silver hidden every year, it will be a considerable amount after more than ten years.

Yingchun will not worry about her children's future will not be good, and this conflict has been reduced by at least 7 layers.

Jia Lian frowned at the beginning, but he was not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, he realized that this was actually the best ending.

I have also benefited, but it is troublesome who to ask for the 5000 taels.

Looking at Shi Zhongkui, he saw that his eyes were on Xue Pan.

Jia Lian's heart moved, and he pulled Xue Pan with a smile and said, "Brother is right, every family has to establish rules first, so that the house can be peaceful."

Xue Dafool ​​was indeed very happy to be flattered by this flattery, and then Jia Lian said in a few words, he said boldly that he was short of money and his brother would help advance the payment first.

idiot.

Shi Zhongkui shook his head helplessly, but deep down in his heart he was more willing to deal with idiots like him.
-
Now that it was determined to open a restaurant, when discussing the candidate for the chef, an old man who had retired from the back chef of Jia's family was found.

Jia Lian repeatedly assured that the dishes he made would never be inferior to any restaurant.

Xue Pan probably knew this person, so he also nodded.

That's how it was settled.

When the two brothers-in-law left, they each carried two large boxes of egg tarts, pineapple buns and a box of creamy ice cream.

Shi Zhongkui didn't care about them, but he smiled when he saw Jia Lian's back.

Last time I cheated Jia Amnesty and Jia Zhen a lot of treasures, how about cheating them a lot of money this time? ——
After Xue Pan and Jia Lian returned to Rongguo Mansion, Jia Lian directly asked the boy to divide the things into five shares.

Of course, Jia Mu, Jia Amnesty, and Jia Zheng are indispensable, as is Jia Zhen in the Ningguo Mansion, and the last one was sent to Yingchun.

And the steaming egg tarts and pineapple buns are really loved by all the people in the Jia family.

On the contrary, it is ice cream and ice cream cake. Except for teenagers and grown men these days, no matter how much women and children like it, they will be told not to eat more.

Stomach problems and wind-cold are so powerful that no one dares to let children and the elderly take risks in food.

After leaving Jiamu's house, Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Xichun, Tanchun, and even Wang Xifeng and Li Wan all smiled and dragged Yingchun to her room.

On the surface it was for food, but it was hard to tell what Wang Xifeng and Li Wan were thinking.

However, Li Wan's idea was very simple. He had heard from his servants before that Jia Zheng had mentioned more than once that he wanted Jia Baoyu and Jia Lan to study with Shi Zhongkui.

But this matter has been delayed by Shi Zhongkui's career, and before everyone was only separated by the relatives of Xue's family, there was no reason to come to ask directly.

But now that the general examinations are over, and Yingchun is bound to marry, of course Li Wan wants to bring up this matter again.

Of course, you can find Yingchun or Baochai.

But when it comes to relatives and estrangements, Spring Festival is more appropriate, but it is very likely that they will not agree.

After all, she is a flat wife in name, but everyone understands that this is just a matter of saving face.

Yingchun may indeed dare not agree, and has no reason to call the shots.

But this does not affect Li Wan's closeness to Yingchun.

If Jia Lan's study was really done, it wouldn't be a problem for her sister-in-law to curry favor with Yingchun.

After someone heated up the hot dessert on the stove and all the sisters ate it with a smile, Jia Baoyu suddenly fell silent.

"This idiot", Wang Xifeng and Li Wan understood at a glance, Jia Baoyu was sad, why did Jia Lian and Yingchun have them, but Shi Zhongkui didn't ask anyone to give him a copy.

But in front of Yingchun, some words are hard to say.

As for the Xue family, Aunt Xue and Baochai were relieved after hearing Xue Pan's story about the restaurant and thinking about it carefully for a while.

Indeed, as Shi Zhongkui thought, the status of the Jia family is much higher than that of the Xue family, since Baochai persuaded him through Xue Pan to marry Yingchun from the beginning.

It means that she has long understood in her heart that even if she is the housewife, she can only treat Yingchun as a sister.

Sending away the happy Jia Lian, Aunt Xue and Baochai didn't care so much about borrowing Jia Lian's 8 taels of silver first.

But he was more concerned about Shi Zhongkui's easy handing over of 1 taels of silver.

"Pan'er, can my uncle really come up with such a large sum of money?"

Xue Pan leaned back on the chair carelessly, "This partnership does business, and the real money is given out first, can this matter be false?
Besides, my sister already has nearly 20,000 taels in her hand, the money earned from saffron, my brother-in-law is trying to cheat me. "

Aunt Xue glanced at Baochai and saw her daughter nodding, knowing that Baochai also agreed with Xue Pan.

The smile on his face suddenly became brighter, and he hugged Baochai and said, "Young master is really good at it, but mother hopes that he can win the first prize again, and at the same time,...."

"Mother."

As soon as Baochai heard it, she understood that Aunt Xue still had a heart knot about Yingchun.

But if Aunt Xue didn't want my uncle's words of being the champion and champion to be heard and spread, the consequences would not be as serious as usual.

Moreover, Baochai thought very simple this time, she had to show the demeanor of the wife of the main house, in order to be more loved by Shi Zhongkui, and the outside world would have a higher evaluation of herself.

This can instead stabilize his position in the Shi family.

Hugging Aunt Xue and whispering a few words, Aunt Xue really laughed.
-
Speaking of the imperial examinations, after the general examination, more than a dozen chief and deputy examiners in the Gong Yuan paid homage to their masters early the next morning, and then nervously corrected the papers copied by the special officials.

And no matter what happened outside, basically it would not affect the Gongyuan.

Of course, no matter what the rules and precautions are, loopholes can be found.

Fortunately, Shi Zhongkui's dealing with the old concubine Zhen and the Zhen family, as well as the series of events that followed, counted according to the time, it would be seven or eight days later.

And in order to prevent the Zhen family and some nobles from ruining their own affairs.

Ever since he found out that someone made him happy for Old Concubine Zhen, Shi Zhongkui not only guarded Chin Maoshu outside the tribute courtyard.

Even Day and Night Youshen and his soldiers guarded there.

Anyone who discovers sneakiness and tip-offs should immediately notify Chinchilla.

Throwing the note, it was directly picked up by the Chinchilla.

If you want to talk outside the wall of the Gongyuan late at night, the Chinchilla will come and bite people.

And under the black light, he didn't even know he was bitten by something.

But if this person uttered a cry of pain, he would definitely be escorted by the embroidered guards inside and outside the Gongyuan who heard the sound and rushed over to check.

Therefore, the calculations that Shi Zhongkui made before the test are still very effective at this time.
-
In the quiet marking room, there was a sudden exclamation, "Good poem, good poem."

The chief and assistant examiners looked up, and saw the loud assistant examiner shouting, "Don't let go of the green hills, the roots are originally in the broken rocks. Thousands of blows are still strong, let the east, west, north, south wind.

This poem is built with bamboo and stone, and has an excellent style. It should be the first poem in this science examination. "

When the others heard it, they also felt that the poem was excellent, and at the same time, they immediately thought of Shi Zhongkui.

But this poem was actually written by Chinchilla Shuo for a man named Fan Dao.

And this guy's strategy is the same as his personality, not only radical, but also somewhat unrealistic.

Otherwise, Shi Zhongkui wouldn't dare to choose him to replace the dead ghost.

And no matter what Fan Dao said, he passed the exam all the way. He even took the exam for 9 years. No matter how extreme his personality is, he would not, and would not dare to make taboos on the theory of the exam.

Some examiners smiled, but their hearts turned cold.

Needless to say, these people must have a mission.

Even the examiner secretly sighed.

Ordinarily, I was the examiner who was personally selected by the emperor, on the premise of not affecting my future and my morality.

If Shi Zhongkui did well in the exam, it would be fine to choose him as the member.

Not to mention raising fish in rice fields, it can be regarded as an additional way for the gentry in the world to increase their wealth from the farmland.

Shi Zhongkui himself is already considered a great talent in the north and south because of his four-year winning streak and a few poems.

Since the article was really good, Shihlin couldn't blame himself as the chief examiner.

It's a pity who let the elders in his hometown and his own son invade other people's fields, and even beat people to death.

If you don't do what the other party says, your reputation will be ruined.

Even if my son doesn't have to go to jail, it will be difficult for him to take the imperial examination in the future.

However, although the examiner has so many scruples in his heart.

But one cannot really ignore excellent articles and poems.

After all, with this "Bamboo and Stone", if the article is not bad.

If you don't take Shi Zhongkui's words, don't you tell the outside world and the emperor clearly that you are cheating and a traitor?
At that time, the person who threatened him, and Wang Fa did not kill him, and the emperor would never let him go.

The emperor only needs to send embroidered clothes guards to investigate, and the matter of the elders and the eldest son will still be found out, and that will end the whole family in exile.

As long as he broke Shi Zhongkui's way of winning six yuan, it can be regarded as fulfilling the requirements of those people to a certain extent.

At that time, it will be a big deal to resign from office and go home because of illness, and then make other plans.

In the next few days, the papers that were determined to be excellent by the assistant examiners were selected.

Some people believe that the song "Bamboo and Stone" was written by Shi Zhongkui, so Fan Dao was selected as the Yuan of Jinke Huiyuan.

But there are also people who disagree with Fan Dao's policy theory because it is too radical and unrealistic, and the paper is full of empty talk.

I also took out an article called A Beautiful Flower Tuan for comparison.

And this article, needless to say, must have been written by Shi Zhongkui.

Before going to Wenchang Emperor Temple, I paid so much, and the return was not small.

In addition to getting closer to the Xingjun of the Heavenly Court, even though he endured the bombing of poisonous gas repeatedly during the test, the article was still written very well.

Not to mention that he knew the general scope of the question in advance.

Prepared for days in advance.

Now the deputy chief examiners who wanted to choose Shi Zhongkui read it carefully several times, and even felt for a while that if they could write this kind of article back then, it would not be an exaggeration for the emperor to choose him as the number one scholar.

In the end, I can only use this article on the poems, which can only be regarded as good to object.

But this statement is actually untenable. Whether it is the former dynasty or the Great Zhou Dynasty, the rural and general examinations have always placed more emphasis on policy theory.

Even the chief and deputy examiners who were born as Jinshi, and basically all of them were from the top ten Jinshi in the second class, knew in their hearts that after they really became officials, poetry is indeed a small way.

A person who is an official in the imperial court relying on poetry is called a minister of poetry to put it nicely.

To put it bluntly, most of my colleagues would call it flattery.

But no matter whether it sounds good or bad, once such a person is favored by the emperor, he will be promoted very quickly.

But on the other hand, there are more officials who are jealous of him.

Therefore, starting from the former dynasty and even the Southern Song Dynasty in the officialdom, the proportion of Jinshi Kece theory was greater than that of poetry.

As a result, the later examiners gradually formed the unspoken rule of trying not to choose the best poets as Huiyuan.

Because if the poems are good and the ranking is good, it is not necessarily a good thing for the entire civil official group that is already competing for power with the emperor.

Of course, if you don't know shit about poetry, it means that this person has no real talent and learning.

Therefore, luck is indeed very important on the way to the imperial examination, because the supervisor's thinking of the examiner often plays an absolute role.
-
The news that the old concubine Zhen was seriously ill that day has already spread throughout the capital.

It's time to announce the results of the exam.
