Chapter 67 Saint?

Tanhualang is the son of an official of the civilian department. At this time, the patriarchal clan of the family is prosperous, and he is also a member of the family. Therefore, the wife of this family naturally set a set of porcelain with Mrs. Cheng, and asked the princess of Gaoling to appreciate it.Originally, Shi Niang didn't want to go, and if she didn't ask the old lady to ask, naturally she couldn't refuse. Since she was young, she received so many gifts from the old lady, if she didn't agree to this, she would be really jealous.

Liu Niangzi didn't come, so she set a date, and she was locked up to take care of herself these days.In fact, she didn't want to come out.So Shi Niang and the old lady took a car together and went back to their usual home slowly.By the way, I was very happy to hear the old lady tell anecdotes about the Chang family.Now she knows who Liu Niangzi's gossip-loving temperament is like.

This adult Chang can't even be considered a commoner, he is almost a poor family.Relying on the support from the clan, his wife's ten finger support was admitted to the examination.But his family is really not a big family in the countryside. Even if he is the patriarch, he only has a shop in the village and dozens of acres of paddy fields.How much can you help him?

Therefore, this adult Chang has a very good temperament and attaches great importance to education. He feels that his biological son is not as intelligent as his nephew, so he vigorously cultivates his nephew whose parents died when he was young.This time his nephew was admitted to Tanhualang, the Chang family wanted to make a big splash.He also specially gave it to the princess of Gaoling, who is popular in Beijing, and his ambition is not too big.

People obviously feel that they now have the capital to marry into the family.As long as they can get married, the Chang family will really get rid of the shadow of the original family.

Anyway, Shi Niang looks down on these people, and usually hates the aristocratic family to death.But when there is a little chance, people can immediately betray their own camp.

Of course, Mr. Chang's ideas are quite literati.But the reason why it is a nephew is not only because he is Tan Hualang, but also because he is a nephew.The name Tanhualang is available, and the nephew can get rid of the relationship in time.It's not his own son, so it's easy to talk about.

"Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended." Shi Niang nodded, but after thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. Apart from advancing and attacking, retreating and defending, why did she feel that she had overlooked something?
"Look at the three of them this time, the fifth one represents the old family, the second one represents the common people, and the nephew of Mr. Chang's family represents the emerging power." Mrs. Cheng counted the beads and said nonchalantly, "So after the meeting, you Don't run around, these people, the heart, just follow me."

"Why?" Shi Niang's eyes froze, and she was really relaxed, taking the moment as a small talk and ignoring the important information.

"Master Chang and his wife, three sons and one daughter, both of Chang Tanhua's parents died, and they live next to Mr. Chang and his wife. The world praises Mr. Chang's high righteousness, but his sons have not been taught. He taught his nephew to be a man of Tanhua. It is really popular. Respect." Mrs. Cheng chuckled.

"Third son, nephew?" Shi Niang patted her head, sure enough, what she just said was wrong.It turned out to be here.The old lady said that the Chang family is a real poor family, even the patriarch only has one shop and dozens of acres of paddy fields.If Master Chang can be confessed, it is really smoke from the ancestral grave, so Chang Tanhua can't borrow the power of the family if he wants to.As for Mr. Chang, he has three sons and one daughter. Even though he regards his nephew as his own son, Mr. Chang comes from a poor family and married a wife from an ordinary family, which does not help him in the officialdom.Therefore, the family property should be accumulated little by little along with his official position.

Wu Niang is the housekeeper who taught Shi Niang how to manage money from Shi Niang's upbringing expenses, so that Shi Niang can see clearly that the most expensive thing in this world is education.Even though the one who taught me was my own mother, apart from not paying the tuition fee, I couldn't save any other money.

For example, learning to ride a horse requires a horse, right?Does the harness cost money, does it cost money to raise horses, and does the groom need money to raise horses?This alone is not affordable for ordinary people.Then what Fourth Lady said about cultivating temperament would cost even more money.Can you pretend to be extravagant?That's out of the good stuff...

Wu Niang also used the analogy of the cost of supporting a student by the way. They also cultivate ordinary students and cultivate romantic and suave talents.The cost of these two is different, just like raising her is different from raising the daughter of an ordinary fifth-rank official.

As the old lady Cheng just said, Master Chang was born in a really poor family, and they cultivated a Tanhua who wanted to become famous, make friends, and cultivate a graceful temperament. All these were piled up with money.And if you dare to ask yourself to come, it means that people have great confidence in this nephew, so the cost is even more extraordinary.Mainly, who would do that?Who would give their all for his nephew?This money is enough for them to raise another son.Wouldn't it be good for a family to produce two ordinary Jinshi?Why do you have to visit Hualang?

"It's really smart! You see, our fifth child, your sixth grandfather, taught him personally, and brought him to visit famous teachers. None of the famous people in Beijing has ever taught him. He grew up around those great scholars, and they watched him grow up. Son. Who didn’t read the article for him? He is very familiar with his article, and it’s useless for us to be confused. Waiting for the imperial examination, your uncle will have to see the face of the veteran, as long as he can pass, he can afford a champion. After more than ten years of hard work, it took more than ten years of hard work to cultivate a champion for the Cheng family, not to mention the cost, even if it is such a hard work, who can afford it?" The old lady Cheng actually wanted to win for the fifth child, she had to let Shi Niang You know, the background of a century-old family is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"So how dare they ask you to ask me out?" Shi Niang also wanted to ask, how could her own mother agree to let the old lady bring her here?

"Your mother means that this kind of family will be very interesting. If you can be designed, she will be in vain." Mrs. Cheng laughed.

"Then you still want me to follow you closely? What else is there to do to follow you closely?" Shi Niang also smiled, and suddenly understood the eldest princess' intentions.

"Sigh, the eldest princess is still a bit naive. She can never imagine the level of human heart. You can just look at it from a distance. You don't have to sit in the hall for a thousand gold." Mrs. Cheng laughed again, her voice It was quite cold.

"This Mr. Chang should be at least the third grade right? Otherwise, I dare not mention this to you, right?" Shi Niang didn't delve into it. She knew about the honorable and noble families in the court, but the common people in Beijing Officials who were born really don't know much about it.But if you dare to ask Mrs. Cheng to invite you, you must have some confidence, right?
"From the third grade, secretary and provincial supervisor." Mrs. Cheng nodded, and now I really feel that Shi Niang has really taught well.

The secretary is in charge of the classics and books of the country, the secretary and the provincial supervisor: in charge of the classics and books, he is in charge of the book bureau.So this name is different from the secretaries and assistants of later generations.As the name suggests, the collection of ancient books is precious, so even the royal family must manage books by special personnel.But this yamen is really not suitable for students from poor families to be in charge.It is simple and elegant, but it is not very easy to support a family.

"Very good. I think Mr. Chang's family has no shortage of books to read." Shi Niang smiled. She was taught by Wu Niang. There is no real Qingshui Yamen in this world. The dirt is unbearable.She really didn't want to see this.Looking up at Old Madam Cheng with a smile on her head, "Will Brother Wu and Cousin Lu's be invited today, Mr. Zhang?"

　Well, I read "Sunshine on the First Day of Junior High" yesterday and thought I wrote it very well. Why is that article not read by anyone?
