Villager of Daming

Chapter 178 Go out and dig a hole
After a heavy rain, Wang Yiqian and others received a letter from home, telling them that the rice harvest had started, and the people they hired would be paid [-] Wen a day.

The letter from his family was written by his third son, talking about the autumn harvest and saying that he wanted to go out with his classmates to participate in activities on August [-]th the day after tomorrow.

It doesn't matter to participate in the activities. The third son mainly said that his mother didn't give money, and his sister-in-law didn't give money either. He planned to borrow some money first and pay it back later.

"Oh!" Wang Yiqian sighed deeply, tears falling down.

"Yiqian, you are..." The chief thought that something happened to the other party's family.

"There used to be three children in my family. The second child died young. The third child wanted him to study, but he..."

Wang Yiqian whispered about the situation at home to the head of the village, saying that he was not afraid of spending money, but the money should be spent in the right place.

"Hmm..." The chief frowned after hearing this, and patted Wang Yiqian on the shoulder: "Perhaps the older you are, the better."

Waiting for lunch, the head of the village looked for Hanhan. He himself didn't believe that Wang Yiqian's third son would get better no matter how old he was.

He asked him to think of a way, but he couldn't think of a way. If it wasn't for Wang Yiqian, he wouldn't even ask about other people's family affairs.

"Hanhan, are you saying you're making trouble?" The village chief also sighed after telling the story to Hanhan.

Zhu Wentian laughed suddenly: "I thought it was such a serious problem! There is a sentence in the Three Character Classic, Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor."

"Ah? You mean to ask Wang Yiqian and the others to move? This...it's not impossible, just say hello to Song Zhifu, and he will agree."

"Don't move, move people, send him to the government school in Shangyuan County, just one place." Zhu Wentian shook his head.

"Will it be better if people come over?" The village head doubted, even if the words were said by the village guards.

"When a person comes, find someone to set him up, to gamble, and if he loses the bet, he pays back the debt, and arranges him to work in the library.

He doesn't have to count on the imperial examination. He has no chance next year, and then there will be no imperial examination for a long time.

Working in the library is also a job, and the money he earns is given to his father, and his father gives it to his family.

He slowly paid off his gambling debts and studied by the way.I don't care if I change someone else, Wang Yiqian is worth it. "

Zhu Wentian told the deceitful things with a smile, that smile was full of simplicity.

Li Chang swallowed, then took a deep breath: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Wang Yiqian."

……

The next day, August [-]th, everyone packed up their things and went home for the holidays, and the construction on the construction site stopped first.

The speed of the boat was not fast, and it didn't arrive at Xiaqiu Village until three quarters before it was over. Wang Yiqian and others took food and drove home immediately.

In the car, Wang Yiqian told his elder son Wang Shi about the idea given by Xiaqiu Village. After listening to it, Wang Laoji also swallowed: "What about the siblings? You can't leave her alone at home."

"When my younger brother stays in the library, I will send her to Xiaqiu Village to help find a job and see if I can have a baby."

Wang Yiqian has plans for this, there is no other way, if his son doesn't learn well, that's all he can do.

He took out the transfer order issued by the Shangyuan County Official School, and then went to the government office to find someone, and went to the Ningguo County Official School where he was located to issue a certificate.

"Look, all the arrangements have been made, and Xiaqiu Village will help, otherwise, with your father and my ability, you will never be able to mobilize people like this in your life."

Wang Yiqian understands the preciousness of transfer orders. Shangyuan County is the county of Yingtianfu, and Ningguo County is incomparable with Shangyuan County.

"I thought we had to work all the time, but I didn't expect to let us go home so that we could harvest rice." Wang Laolan was thinking about the [-] Wen per person a day's wages.

"Come back immediately after the festival. How much do you and I make a day? Xiaqiu Village treats us well, so we can't delay their affairs."

Wang Yiqian disagreed, it was not a good deal in any way, his salary was [-] wen a day.

……

When a group of children from Xiaqiu Village came back, the adults were happy to see if they were thinner or taller, and then asked about things in Nanjing.

After dinner, the villagers made mooncakes according to Hanhan's instructions. They didn't have time to make mooncakes last year, but they made arrangements this year.

Nowadays, the moon cakes in Ming Dynasty are generally just round cakes made of noodles, without any fillings, and those with fillings must come from wealthy families.

For example, the moon cakes sent by the palace are stuffed with sugar and meat. They look like pies, but they are actually pies, but they know how to bake them, and they learned from Xiaqiu Village.

Zhu Wentian was very helpless, he didn't want it, the palace wouldn't do it!

The mooncakes in Xiaqiu Village are divided into baked mooncakes and ice skin mooncakes. The fillings include red bean paste, green silk rose, nuts, cream, fruit, meat floss...

In addition, there are molds with auspicious words and patterns drawn on them. The ice-skinned mooncakes are dyed with fruits and vegetables, which look crystal clear.

The children are no longer sleepy, and they are busy together, making a lot of moon cakes today and bringing them to the palace.

At the same time, the Ningguo Mansion and the Taiping Mansion also need to give, the Ningguo Mansion will give more, and the Taiping Mansion will reduce the amount.

Shangyuan County and Jiangning County also have to send it. Even if the business is in Shangyuan County, who knows when they will wander to Jiangning County, and if they can't come up with something, they will always go to the Crown Prince or the King of Qin.

Everyone was busy until midnight before all the moon cakes were ready.

The moon cakes to be sent away are put in boxes, the less one box is four yuan, and the more is eight yuan.

The ice skin mooncakes are iced out of the box and taste good.

After Yin went out, Zhu Taiyi and Zhu Taier took ten guards and called the boatman to set off. They first passed by the boatman's house and gave them a box of eight yuan moon cakes before going to Nanjing.

In this way, there is enough time, and it is usually eaten at night, and no one cares about eating at noon.

According to records, the mooncakes in the Ming Dynasty were finished and could be eaten until the end of the month. Obviously, the mooncakes made by ordinary people do not have fillings, otherwise they cannot be preserved.

To put it bluntly, it belongs to baked dry biscuits, which are used as dry food when traveling far away.

……

On the other side of Wang Yiqian's home, his third son, Wang Shu, was depressed and tossed and turned in his sleep at night.

He was grounded, and he agreed with others to borrow money tomorrow, but he couldn't go to the party tomorrow.

Wang Yiqian told his son that there is something important to do during the holidays tomorrow, so give him a surprise, and he just wants to play, what surprise?It was obvious that she didn't want him to go.

At dawn, Wang Yiqian called his two sons to get up: "Have a bowl of porridge later, and follow me."

"Father, my classmate's reunion said it was about the imperial examination, and I didn't pass the exam this year because I didn't find a way out.

You have to be friendly with the officials in the county, and you have to have someone in Ningguo Mansion, otherwise it will be useless no matter what the test is, it's not that the child is not good at learning.

At the party that the boy went to today, there was someone who could help, and he established a good relationship with him, and he helped introduce the county officials. "

Wang Shu is still working hard, using the door as an excuse to cover up his incompetence.

"If you're looking for an official, go directly to it, and the official will not hide from you. Know someone? Huh! Today's sage selects talents, you don't have that ability, officials dare to send you up?"

Wang Yiqian didn't believe it at all, it was so easy, why didn't Xiaqiu Village arrange it directly?Their children study hard and don't take the imperial examination at all, for fear of failing.

Does Xiaqiu Village know an official?Cooperating with His Royal Highness King Qin to do business!
