Cross the ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 60
Three years later, the three of them set off again to go to the hospital for an examination, and if they fail this time, they will become benevolent.

After three years of hard study, Shen Ye, who was originally a genius, had a qualitative improvement, and this time he was finally selected as a scholar.

It was very lively that day, a special yamen servant came to announce the selection of a scholar, and many neighbors came to the door with gifts.

What's more, someone brought their daughter and niece to marry Shen Ye.

To say the least, they are all rich or powerful people, Yu Xiaoxiao has to politely refuse them if she doesn't want to.

After spending half a month in Fucheng, I visited all the people who should be visited, all the banquets that should be attended, and Yu Xiaoxiao, the matchmaker, refused all of them.

If he married his elder son a wife in Fucheng and returned to his own place, he would be his ancestor.

Moreover, if married, the eldest son is not a married man, but also a half married man.

So for their own future life, and also for Shen Ye's happy life in the future, both of them unanimously decided that they must never agree to marry a wife.

If it is in modern times, if you say marrying, you can marry. After all, it is a young couple living together, so we don't need to get involved.

But in ancient times, it was different. If one entered into a marriage in ancient times, one would lose one's personal freedom and safety.

In ancient times, a man has no dignity after becoming a married woman. If he has to rely entirely on his wife to live, even if his wife cheats, if your family background is not high, you can't even say no...

The tallest person in my family is a scholar, and if I become a married couple, I don't even have anyone who can support me, so the three of Yu Xiaoxiao are very sober.

This time I went to the hospital to try to spend the money, and it was completely recovered in the next half month, and there were even more.

The three of them came in plain clothes, but when they returned, they brought three carriages back.

It's very ostentatious, the second day after returning home, wealthy families in the towns and villages in the county began to come in wave after wave, giving money, giving daughters...

That was everything, Yu Xiaoxiao's family only took some money, and nothing else.

After everyone came here, they came to the villagers. Some people wanted to sell themselves as servants to Yu Xiaoxiao's family, but Yu Xiaoxiao didn't want it either, but only accepted some token gifts.

After sending everyone away, Yu Xiaoxiao asked Shen Ye about his plans.

Shen Ye planned to study for a few years, and he was bound to be selected as a candidate. He visited the village head, stayed at home for a few days, and then went to the county to study.

Six years passed in a blink of an eye, during which Shen Ye went to a provincial examination and failed. After three years of hard work, he was finally lucky enough to win the Juren, and during this period, Shen Qi was finally selected as a scholar.

Subsequent inoculation brought excitement and trouble, and the 26-year-old Shen Ye was fully capable of handling these trivial matters.

First of all, Shen Ye brought a gift to the head of the village, and gave the nominal rights of 50 acres of land, which was regarded as a benefit.

Then the country gentry who went to visit, then went to the county town with gifts to visit.

The first is the management class, such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, etc., explaining that he still wants to continue the exam, which will not affect their interests, and avoid conflicts with them. The family is too weak to rely on, and he is alone. Can't resist others at all.

However, because of Shen Ye's sense of taste, he didn't have the idea of ​​touching other people's "cake". Everyone was willing to save face for Shen Ye, and if they could help, they would help. Luckily nothing went wrong.

Afterwards, there were rich and noble families, Ye Qi also visited one by one humbly and politely to express his gratitude to Yunyun.

Then there are various matters related to entering the official school in the mansion, and after finishing all these, I can finally go home.

It's just that I can't rest when I go home, and I went to the village chief's house with gifts to discuss things.

In terms of seniority, the nearly one hundred households in Shenjia Village are all relatives of the same clan, and now that the Shen clan has a successor, it can be regarded as hopeful for prosperity.

In addition, because the family is prosperous, it can also be relied on by Shen Ye. After all, it is mutual benefit.

After all, without the family's help, it is destined not to go far. What Shen Ye has to do now is to help the family prosper.

Not only for ourselves, but also for future generations.

When I came to the village head's house, before I knocked on the door, I was seen by the village head who was sitting in the yard smoking a cigarette. He enthusiastically invited me in and took care of me and sat down.

"Master Juren, why are you here? Did you order us to do something? If there is something to do, why should I bother you to make this trip? Just send someone to tell me to go there."

The village chief had a flattering smile on his face, and his tone was not casual and caring for the younger generation, but cautious and respectful.

Shen Ye has almost gotten used to it for a while, and said with a smile: "Uncle Cun, you are joking, in terms of seniority, I still have to honor you as the third uncle of the clan, so you should stop being so born with me." gone."

Hearing Shen Ye's words, the village chief was stunned for a while, and it took him a long time to find his voice. His voice couldn't hide his disappointment, and his smile froze a little: "Where is there any Shen family? It's dead, it's nothing. No, it’s good to be alive.”

Shen Ye disagreed and said, "Third uncle of the clan, don't you want to prosper the Shen clan?"

The village chief smiled wryly, stroked his gray beard, took a puff of cigarette, sat down slowly and said, "I don't want to, the Xingsheng family is not as simple as you think, we escaped here, and we have no connections. , Two, without a foundation, and three without support, that is, if there is a juren, it will be of no use."

Shen Ye knew that what the village chief said was right, just like himself, who obviously had the qualifications to be an official, but because he didn't rely on his foundation and connections, he could only give gifts and voluntarily give up. To get closer, go read a book.

But Shen Ye knew better that basic connections took time to accumulate and were accumulated from generation to generation, so the prosperity of the family was the path he had to take.

"The third uncle of the family, do you know how the former Shen family came from?"

The village chief was stunned when he heard the words, because he thought wrongly, yes, the basic connections of the family cannot be formed overnight, they are all accumulated by the generations of the clan.

The village head patted his forehead with a wry smile, and said with a wry smile: "It's my fault, but you young people have courage. Since you think about it, how can we old guys not agree.

It is my Shen family's blessing to have you from my Shen clan, Juren..."

Shen Ye looked at the village head who was in trouble because he didn't know what to call him, and said empathetically, "Third Uncle, just call me Ye boy as before."

The village chief's face was full of relief and hope that his wish had been fulfilled, and his whole body seemed to be alive. His tone towards Shen Ye was less flattering, but more expectant and caring for the younger generation. He disagreed and said: "Then Well, let's call you Master Ye, maybe you can also win a Juren, so it's easy to distinguish."

Shen Ye looked at the happy village chief, and said without retorting, "Then follow what third uncle said."

"Okay, okay, Master Ye, go back and invite your mother to come too, she is a nobleman of our Shen family."

After speaking to Shen Ye, the village head called the old woman to help invite other senior people in the village to come, and the three of them left the village head's house together.

Over the past ten years, as long as the villagers have free time, they have been opening up wasteland for their own homes. Although it is not tax-free, the land that has been opened can still grow one or two hundred catties of grain a year, and there is still some left over after paying the tax. , better than nothing.
