A piece of paper

The nouveau riche father in the previous life said that to listen to people's words, you must not only listen to the meaning of the words, but also the meaning of the words.

What Chen Jianfang said was clearly about himself, but literally, who was he talking about——Anyway, Xian Jin understood.

Xian Jin glanced at the seventh uncle who was yawning.

Well, literally, I didn't understand at all.

I really envy.

People who can't understand what others mean, really live a good life and a happy life!

Xian Jin lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then heard Chen Jianfang say, "If the seventh uncle agrees to hand over the matter to me, then I will make an appointment with Cui Heng tomorrow. If you have better ideas, then Erlang will do his best." Cooperate, the only thing is that if there is a loan, it must be paid to the public account."

Chen Jianfang added, "Our Chen family has not only Zuo Niang who is suitable for marriage, but even her younger sister, You Niang, will be engaged in a few years. When the time comes, the bowl of water will be uneven, and you will be scolded for no reason. , and Zuo Niang has been called out for nothing."

Xian Jin nodded thoughtfully.

She hadn't thought of that.

There must be more than one girl in the Chen family who wants to marry, Chen Zuoniang. This one gave 500 taels more, so will you give more to the next one?
One is 500 taels.

Don't do anything with the profit of the workshop in Jing County, just marry a daughter.

Xian Jin didn't work for the Chen family, but contributed to the marriage and population affairs of the Great Wei Dynasty!

Xian Jin thought he did not have such a high level of ideological awareness, so he nodded in agreement to Chen Jianfang.

Chen Jianfang cleared his throat, felt Xian Jin's burning gaze, and moved his eyes away uncomfortably.

The seventh uncle opened his mouth and wanted to scold again, but when the words came to his mouth, he glanced at the murderous Tuoyouping He surnamed, and said darkly, "A good man will do his best, send the Buddha to the west, and I will completely hand over Zuo Niang's marriage." Here it is - if you want to withdraw the engagement, you have to be the middleman to negotiate terms with the Cui family, and help find a better marriage for Zuo Niang; I asked Zuo Niang to marry him in."

This old man!
It's faster to shake the pot than to shake the hair!

Which generation of ancestors followed the right King of Hades, why did they take over all the good things?

Chen Fu looked at Seventh Uncle in disbelief: I haven't seen anyone more shameless than him for a long time.

The seventh uncle said again, "Furthermore, if you withdraw one thousand dollars and ten thousand dollars, Zuo Niang married a county government official, which is a high-ranking marriage. It is human nature for the clan to give a little more silver as a dowry. Erlang, on this point, you want Just think about it."

This... Isn't this a trick to ask the family for extra makeup money?

Facts have proved that shameless people will only keep refreshing their cognition.

Chen Fu was stunned.

So shameless...

He really can't learn, can't learn.

Chen Jianfang raised his head slightly and smiled, "If the Cui family is willing to give more gifts, our family will definitely not lose face to Zuo Niang."

Xian Jin was stunned.

She thought that Chen Jianfang would say "clear after leveling, bright after clear" or "walking on the road, the world is for the public" and so on. Don't divide into three, six, or nine, it's for the sake of Datong", which is indeed too advanced.

Xian Jin was a little dumbfounded by this answer, but Seventh Uncle was obviously dissatisfied with it, but he couldn't express his dissatisfaction, so he smashed his crutch hard, took a deep look at Chen Jianfang, and smiled He sighed nonchalantly, "The old man will go home today and kneel to God, begging God to let Mrs. Qu live longer!"

The Qu family took care of their clan relatives, valued their clan relatives, and valued kinship relationships. Even if they crossed the line a little bit, they would calm down and make peace with each other.

Regardless of the main branch or the partial branch of the Chen family, it is quite easy to make a living under her hands.

Now this little boy has a cold face and hard hands!

Chen Jianfang smiled, "I beg the same children."

The seventh uncle snorted coldly, and left with his hunchbacked son and weeping daughter-in-law, followed closely by Chen Zuoniang with a pale face.

Chen Fu yawned, stretched his waist, and was about to walk in. After thinking for a while, he turned his head and squinted at Chen Jianfang and whispered, "...some bad talent, don't worry too much about him."

Your father's early death may not be due to overthinking and overburdening
Chen Fu didn't say that.

Chen Jianfang didn't respond directly, but stood up and cupped his hands, "Thank you, Third Uncle, for your concern."

Chen Fu snorted, his mouth was harder than his fist, "Who said he cared! I just talk a lot!"

After finishing speaking, he yawned again, and while urgently urging Xian Jin to sleep, at the same time, he seriously accelerated his running frequency to achieve a two-way rush to the bed.

Xian Jin looked back at Chen Jianfang, nodded slightly and parted ways with the two, heading towards the inner courtyard.

At noon on the second day, after finishing today's teaching, Chen Jianfang packed up the teaching aids, called Xianjin to stop, and said calmly, ". I have an appointment with Cui Heng for a table in the evening. If you have nothing to do, let's go together." .”

Chief Financial Officer, do you even have to attend this foreign-related meeting?
Xian Jin has big eyes and big question marks.

Chen Jianfang explained patiently, "I reserved a box with two tables, and the shopkeeper asked the shopkeeper to use a screen to separate it from the wooden gate. You can sit at the other table with Zuo Niang—no matter how I negotiate with Cui Heng, whether you marry or not Marriage, how to marry, should be finally agreed by Zuo Niang."

Oh, listen to the companions in the corner.

That being the case, Xian Jin naturally nodded repeatedly.

In the evening, when Xian Jin arrived at the restaurant, the dog sneaked into the box, and as soon as he entered, he saw Chen Zuoniang with a pale face, "Are you here?"

Chen Zuoniang shook her head again and again.

Xian Jin was about to speak, but he heard the sound of "creaking" pushing the door, followed by the cold and calm voice of a man, "... I haven't seen Master Cui for several years, so please come and be safe."

It's Chen Jianfang.

Xian Jin quickly grabbed Chen Zuoniang's hand and hissed.

Chen Zuoniang's complexion was not very good, her back molars were clenched so that the shape could be seen through the flesh of her face.

"Brother Cui" in Chen Jianfang's mouth, Cui Heng's voice sounded more mature and full of laughter, "Erlang is getting thinner."

With a sense of familiarity.

There was a sound of rustling clothes, and the two sat down, and then they exchanged some pleasantries. They didn't mention today's theme in a single word. They were all reading, writing articles, and discussing the situation of the imperial examination.

After a while, Chen Jianfang let out a "hey" in a brisk voice, ".Speaking of Chunwei, two days ago, the regular sacrificial wine of the Imperial College gave me a copy of the book, and he tested several pages of my knowledge eloquently. At the end, he said From the topic of this year's Chunwei, it seems to be "better troops and simpler administration, and follow all orders."

Xian Jin raised his eyebrows, and after Cui Heng was obviously taken aback, he hesitated and said in astonishment, "The question of Chunwei?" Seemingly aware of his gaffe, he immediately said, "The Imperial College has high hopes for you!"

Chen Jianfang smiled, and did not deny the statement, but continued, "Since it was a letter from offering sacrifices to wine, I laid it out and analyzed it around the policy theory of elite troops, and then received correction letters for offering sacrifices to wine—three court elders in the court. , Two of them advocate Neo-Confucianism, one advocates Psychology, among them, Li Ge, who highly respects Neo-Confucianism, will become an official this year. His philosophy is to streamline the army and streamline administration, reduce military expenditures, cut unnecessary military pay, food and grass, and subsidize the cut money to civilian officials. Prepare it."

Cui Heng couldn't hear it.

Chen Jianfang's laughter was very soft, Xian Jin caught it keenly.

"Doesn't the civil official supplement mean that the vacancies of civil servants in the court may be gradually filled?"

Chen Jianfang said meaningfully.
