reborn child bride

Chapter 12

Aunt Wei also took a sip when she saw this, and then praised: "Sister Ji, your dishes are comparable to the cooks of rich families."

Shen Ji asked: "Have you ever eaten at a rich family's house?"

"Oh, I ate it when I was a servant."

Today I ate dry rice, and the dishes were good, Aunt Wei, Wei Ying and Shen Ji were very satisfied.After eating and drinking, Shen Ji packed up the dishes and washed them.Speaking of eating, Wei Ying used to eat in the house, and she and Aunt Wei ate on the small table in the kitchen.After Wei Ying came out to eat, he ate in the main room instead.According to Aunt Wei, she and Shen Ji still had to eat in the kitchen.It is a rule that women do not come to the table.Or Wei Ying said that it would be a waste to eat in two places, and there is no one else at home.Then we ate together in the main room.

Aunt Wei was in the kitchen looking at Shen Ji's fat sausages after processing, there was no peculiar smell, and it was white and clean.Can't help but look forward to tomorrow's dishes.Sister Ji's cooking seems to be different from that of the people in the village. She uses a lot of seasonings, which makes people want to swallow their tongues.It's been a long time since Ying'er has such a big appetite.

At noon the next day, as soon as Wei Ying heard Shen Ji calling for dinner, she immediately came out of the room and sat down at the table.Today's dish is roasted fat sausage with green bamboo shoots, yesterday the three of them ate up a pound of lean meat.It's really March that I don't know the taste of meat.

"Auntie, young master, this fat sausage is cooked in a big pot. I think we often take Uncle Wang's car and he only charges very little money, and he lives next door to us. I didn't spend money to buy this fat sausage. I made a lot of it. How about sending a bowl to their home?"

Wei Ying nodded, "Well, well, you should be more thoughtful."

Aunt Wei whispered: "The large intestine didn't cost money, but it consumed fuel, and sister Ji, you wash and cook it so hard." But since Wei Ying spoke, she didn't object, she just talked about it.

Shen Ji shoveled a bowl and put it in the basket, "Ma'am, young master, then you guys eat first."

"Does she like to make her own way too much?" Aunt Wei muttered, how could she be such a girl.

"It's a good thing that she doesn't treat herself as an outsider. She works hard in this way." However, Sister Ji really doesn't look like a maid.

In the evening, we went to work together in Wei Ying's house, Wei Ying read books, Wei Auntie made clothes, and Shen Ji weaved blessing knots.This has been done all the time, in order to save lamp oil.This is the case even if there are two earning businesses now.Shen Ji knew that Aunt Wei wanted to save for Wei Ying's repairs and the cost of taking the exam in the future.That's not a small amount.

Wei Ying is now a child student, and will take the college examination (prefecture and county level) next spring, and if she passes the examination and gets better grades, she is considered a scholar.This is the first-level exam. I heard that there are still people in their seventies and eighties taking the exam.If you become a scholar, you can exempt one person from corvee, and you can see the county magistrate without kneeling.Moreover, the triennial provincial examination (provincial level) will also be held in August next year, and you must pass the college examination to be eligible for reference.Therefore, the ideal is to pass the college examination once, and then go to the township examination in autumn. If you pass the township examination, you will be a candidate, and the first name is Jieyuan.This is the first yuan in the three yuan.

Then, Juren can enter the capital in February of the following year to take part in the examination at the Gongyuan. Those who have passed the examination are called Gongsheng, and the head name is Huiyuan, which is the second yuan in Sanyuan.The last exam is called the palace exam. The exam method is that the emperor asks questions, and the examinees answer. The content is mainly policy questions.The emperor and ministers will divide the grades according to the performance of the candidates.There are three top grades in total, and there are only three people in the first grade, called Jinshi Jidi, who are the number one scholar, second place in the list, and Tanhua.A few people in the second class were given Jinshi background.Several people in the top three were given the same background as Jinshi.

Those who are still on the list after the palace examination will be sent to official positions.However, the official positions assigned at this time are not high, and the one who gets it is likely to be only an eighth-rank county magistrate, and he is still far away from becoming a high-ranking official.

These are all the sister Ji usually asks Wei Ying.The output of champions is really not high, only one in the whole country in three years.Compared with a modern college entrance examination, there are more than 60 provincial-level champions in arts and sciences, and there are even more municipal-level ones, which is completely different in concept.Moreover, there is also a limit on the number of Gongsheng students, generally only three hundred.The highest honor in the minds of literati is not the number one scholar, but the three yuan and the first.That is to say, the provincial level, the national level, and the emperor's heart are all number one.Such a person may not be able to produce one person in 100 years.It is not the same as the flood of modern TV dramas.

It's not easy, no wonder many people have become white-headed men from the young man, no wonder Fan Jinzhong went crazy after being promoted.Shen Ji secretly went to look at Wei Ying, wondering if he would be successful in the future.If you want to keep taking the exam, it will cost a lot of money.She can't help out all the time.

Shen Ji had already planned that when she saved enough money, she would redeem herself.Of course, Aunt Wei doesn't have to redeem her, then she will have to think of a way.Anyway, if she could save enough taels, then the Wei family would earn more than 20 taels.She can't be their family's cash cow all the time.At least when the time comes, everyone's share will change.

Aunt Wei had only been able to send Wei Ying to a private school in the village before, so this time she wanted to send him to the academy in the town, where he would be paid five cents a month for Shuxiu.Today, the Wei family only has a fortune of more than one or two taels of silver.

It is said that Wei Ying studied best in eight villages, but it is rare for rural children to have the opportunity to concentrate on studying like him.

The next time she went to the market, Aunt Wei took the forty eggs she had saved at home and sold them for [-] yuan.The fish ball soup sent by Shen is still sold at the stall early for two hundred yuan.This time she got a dividend of [-] Wen, one out of ten was the reward given to her by the mother and son of the Wei family.

The aunts who came to Wei's family to exchange their own dishes for blessings and make several recipes also set up street stalls to sell them today.It's just that the business is much worse than Aunt Wei's day.Two or three hundred of these ten kinds of Shenji have been sold before, and there are also twenty or thirty of each kind.Many people bought it and took it apart to read it, and then they got a general idea of ​​how to weave it, and gradually spread the word.Some ingenious people even invented new weaving methods, and these old and new methods were also spread among boudoirs.Therefore, there is no market for reselling the same ones.However, everyone still sold [-] to [-] pieces, but the price has dropped a lot.Some people came to see if there were any new varieties for sale, and they probably wanted to buy them and learn from them.The red string is cheap, and it is easy to weave it. It also has an auspicious name, and it can be used as a small ornament or to ward off evil spirits.

Today's situation is of course very different from the expectations of the aunts, and they are secretly happy to see that Shen Ji and Aunt Wei are no longer showing their luck.In the end, I didn't expect that what I worked so hard to make up was very different from the lively situation when I saw Aunt Wei selling that day.However, Shen Ji taught them, and he did not sell anymore, so they had nothing to say.I can only watch with envy that Wei's fish ball soup is still selling well.

One of the three aunts is Lizheng's woman, and the other two are headed by her.In fact, they still made money selling lucky knots today, but it was much smaller than when Shen Ji sold them the first two times.Some people's hearts don't know how to be satisfied and grateful, especially when they see that Wei's fish ball soup still sells for as much money as last time.Hmph, no wonder he was willing to tell them that he knew it would happen.
