Wangfu little dumb wife

Chapter 22 Third Cousin Can Try

Xie's family lived in Qingshui Bay, not too far away from Song's family, and they arrived in a short while.

Aunt Xie stood at the door, looking at Song Wei and Wen Wan with a smile on her face, "Why did you young couple think of me coming here?"

Song Wei smiled, "I heard that Mrs. Xie came out of my aunt's house. We came here to congratulate you."

Xie Zheng's reputation as a scholar, although he can't be an official, he can't starve to death, at least he can open a private school to accept a few students, and the annual Shu Xiu and the tribute from the students are enough to support his family.

For the poor Xie family, this is the most joyful event.

The smile on Aunt Xie's face deepened, "Come in and sit down, I'll make you a pot of tea, that kid Xie Zheng, I guess he won't be back for a while."

Hearing that Xie Zheng was not there, Song Yuanbao, who was standing tangled by the bullock cart, regained his spirits, took the congratulatory gift, and followed Aunt Xie into the house.

In order to support Xie Zheng's study, Xie's family has spent a lot of money over the years. The whole family saved it from the gap between their teeth. Every year, the few taels of money are gone and never returned. There is no way out. Xie Tao's wife has long complained Yes, there's been a lot of fuss about it.

Xie Tao didn't dare to separate from his parents, brothers and sister-in-law because of this, and lived a difficult life between his wife and mother every day.

Xie Zheng was a scholar who passed the examination in the previous session. After that, he studied in the county school for three years. He took the provincial examination last year and failed the ranking without any surprise.

Aunt Xie didn't expect Xie Zheng to be very successful. She dared not think that as long as she was a scholar, exempted from the family's land tax, and opened a private school to collect some repairs and New Year's filial piety every year, it would not be counted as the previous years. Waste money on him.

According to the policy of the Great Chu Dynasty, Jinshi can save [-] mu, Juren [-] mu, and scholar [-] mu.

Based on the payment of land tax, two seasons a year, [-] mu can save about ten taels of silver.

If someone came to contribute and put the field under Xie Zheng's name, then he would get at least half of the profit from it every year, which is five taels of silver.

It can be seen that the "poor scholars" who gathered in the county capitals and even the capitals became popular in the countryside.

-

When Xie Zheng came back, he was surprised to see Song Wei, his wife and cousin, and asked Aunt Xie and his daughter-in-law Yang to cook dinner, and sat down to talk to Song Wei.

Song Wei asked him, "Are you not going to continue the exam?"

Xie Zhengdao: "I want to take the exam, but my family doesn't have the conditions for me to study in the county school for another three years, so I thought about it. I opened a private school to enlighten the children while studying by myself, and I will go to the provincial capital to try next time." , if I fail the exam again this time, I will not take the exam. After all, there are old and young, and everyone has to eat, so I can't stand my tossing."

After finishing the sentence, I glanced at Song Wei, "If you want me to say, Third Cousin can give it a try. With your talent and learning, you can assign one to take the test."

Song Wei was a well-known figure in the town school back then, which time was he not the first in the ten-day exam and the year-old exam?When the school teachers in the town school mentioned Song Wei, they were all full of glory, but it was a pity that he was against luck, from childhood to adulthood, he was unlucky every now and then.

Xie Zheng even had some doubts. Could it be that when Song Wei was born, God gave the wrong talent with a trembling hand, but he couldn't take it back, so he could only trip Song Wei in different ways?
Song Wei shook his head, "I don't take the test."

He once made an oath in front of the grave of Dalang and his wife that he would never take the imperial examination again in his life and would do his best to raise Yuanbao.

Xie Zheng thought for a while and said, "If I remember correctly, you haven't encountered any bad luck since you got engaged last year, right?"

Song Wei also seemed to think of this suddenly, and looked at Wen Wan involuntarily.

Wen Wan pulled her lips embarrassingly.

　In the beginning of the article, Yiyi changed the number of mu for tax exemption from [-] mu to [-] mu.

　　Here is a little science about Gutian: After the famous scholars are exempted from tax, if someone comes to donate, they will give people Gutian, and then replace the imperial court to collect taxes from the people, but the collection is not as high as the imperial court. , In this way, farmers achieved the goal of reducing taxes, and scholars benefited from it.
