  Chapter 43 042 [Good cabbage can't bear pig arch]

  Zhao Han took the bought ingredients and sent them to the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain, and handed them over to Xu Ying's parents.

   After saying hello to Pang Chunlai, he followed Lou to the academy.

   After all, his real identity is a book boy, and the student is only a part-time job. When the master comes, he must serve him.

  Lou's mother and daughter all went up the mountain in sedan chairs, and Zhao Zhenfang followed them on foot.

  Zhao Han said distressedly: "Little sister, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired," Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile at this time, in a happy mood, "I eat enough for every meal, and I have more energy than in Tianjin. I have been living in the inner courtyard before, and today I can go out to climb mountains, and I met my second brother to accompany me again. I couldn't be happier."

   "It's better not to be tired." Zhao Han also laughed.

  Climbing all the way to the middle of the mountain, I finally came to Hanzhu Academy.

  Fei Ruhe left his mother behind and ran quickly towards the yard where his father was studying, shouting as he ran, "Daddy, daddy, mother is here!"

  The crowd came to a courtyard, and Fei Yinghuan came out to greet them after hearing the news, as well as several scholars including Hu Mengtai and Zhan Zhaoheng.

  Ms. Lou went to distribute gifts by herself, and helped her husband make friends with classmates.

   Miss Fei Rulan and Fei Rumei had never been to the academy before, so they looked around curiously.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Zhenfang pulled her brother aside, suppressed her excitement, and whispered, "Second brother, I can make money too."

   "Little sister is amazing!" Zhao Han praised.

  Zhao Zhenfang took out a bunch of copper coins from her bosom and stuffed them into Zhao Han's hands: "I heard that I'm going to come to the academy, so I brought the money with me. Second brother, you can use it."

  Copper coins are threaded with cloth ropes, there are more than 500 pieces, all of which are wages and rewards, and the winter solstice money has not been given yet.

  Fei Yinghuan's top-notch servant, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver, and a managerial position, there is still money to be made secretly.

  The big maids in the inner courtyard earn about one tael per month.

  Zhao Zhenfang, as the young lady's playmate, includes food, housing and clothing, with a monthly salary of 500 Wen.

   Low-level servants are not good enough. Not only are their wages very low, but they are often deducted by the stewards. Some domestic slaves have a miserable life, but they don't resent their masters, they only hate those in charge.

  Of course, this also scores which one.

  The same is Ehu Fei, Fei Yinghuan's second brother is harsh. The hostess was very stingy, and the wages of the domestic slaves were directly cut in half, and she was often beaten, scolded and abused. Some time ago, she accidentally killed one, and only lied about being ill and buried her quietly.

   "Don't you usually use money?" Zhao Han asked.

Zhao Zhenfang said with a smile: "No, I have everything to eat and wear. The young lady treats me very well." After finishing speaking, she rolled up the sleeve of her left hand and showed the silver chain on her wrist, "This is from the second lady. She has A few new ones, and the old ones will be discarded."

   "Okay, second brother will save it for you, and you can take it when you need it." Zhao Han stuffed the copper coins into his arms.

  Miss Fei Rulan paced around the courtyard a few times, and couldn't help but say, "Mother, can I go to other places in the academy?"

  Ms. Lou loved her daughter very much, and immediately called Fei Ruhe: "Take my sister around."

   "I want to go too!" Fei Rumei shouted hastily.

  Mr. Lou laughed and said, "All go, all go."

  Since Fei Ruhe is leading the way, Zhao Han and Fei Chun, as book boys, naturally have to follow along.

  The eldest miss Fei Rulan, the maid Xiyue; the second miss Fei Rumei, the maid Chunfang... Uh, it's Zhao Zhenfang. The group left the courtyard together, Fei Ruhe rushed out of the way excitedly, and ran far away alone.

  Watching the children leave, Lou suddenly asked: "I heard...the family from Lilie Nufang also lives in the academy?"

  Fei Yinghuan nodded and said, "We'll be moving down the mountain soon."

  Mr. Lou said: "The orphans and widows are also very pitiful. Give them a winter solstice plate."

   Wei Jianxiong, who had been silent all this time, suddenly jumped out: "I'll go see them off, I know where they live."

   Lou sorted out a gift, handed it to Wei Jianxiong and said, "That's all."

  Wei Jianxiong picked it up and ran, his heart was already full of joy.

   "What's wrong with him?" Lou didn't understand.

  Fei Yinghuan smiled and said, "I don't know, anyway, these days are very strange."

   Not long after, Mrs. Chen came over with Fei Yuanjian to thank Mrs. Lou for the winter solstice gift, and Wei Jianxiong followed beside him with a full face of joy.

  Looking at it, the relationship seems to be progressing.

  The strong girl is afraid of pestering her husband, no matter how scheming Chen is, she is still a woman with empty feelings, let alone they have known each other since childhood.

  Lou Shi and Chen Shi, two women, had a conversation.

  The atmosphere was extremely harmonious, and we even made an appointment to go to worship Buddha together years ago.

  After Mrs. Chen left, Mrs. Lou smiled and said, "This little aunt is also very smart."

Fei Yinghuan's focus was different, and he muttered to himself: "There is something wrong with Old Wei. Even if he has an affair with that Chen family, don't make it so obvious. I have to remind him when I have time. Since it is an affair, it should be done." It is silent, and it can last long without anyone noticing."

  Master Fei's thinking is still so tricky and strange.

   Aware that the house slave is having an affair with the elders of the same clan, the first reaction is not to stop it, but to complain about the house slave's cheating skills, and intends to remind the other party to proceed with caution.

  Lou resisted the urge to roll her eyes, and didn't bother to say half a word of nonsense, apparently already used to it.

  Suddenly, Fei Yinghuan slapped his hands fiercely: "I forgot to tell Madam, Brother Han has a new method. Putting two decks together, the game is called mahjong. Let's go into the room and explain it in detail!"

  Ms. Lou was dragged into the house, dumbfounded.

Fei Yinghuan held out a wooden box, and said as if offering a treasure: "Brother Han is a smart man. According to his idea, my husband asked someone to carve a set of mahjong tiles out of wood, and specially made dice for it. Hurry up!" Sit down, and I will teach you how to play cards for my husband."

  Finally, Mrs. Lou couldn't bear it anymore, and asked with a face: "You left home and went to the mountains to retreat and study, and you just read a set of mahjong tiles?"

  Fei Yinghuan chuckled, and said cheekily: "Madam, don't worry, I don't play cards every day, I just amuse myself when I am bored with reading."

  Lou sat down and sulked.

  Fei Yinghuan sneered, and the persuasion finally worked. The couple began to study the art of mahjong.

  …

  Zhao Han is usually in the private school at the foot of the mountain. He has never been to the academy on the mountain, and wanders around with everyone.

  The library here is very large, much larger than that at the foot of the mountain.

  Thirteen-year-old Fei Rulan looked up at the library, and whispered to herself, "If I were a boy, I would be fine. I don't have to hide at home all day and learn how to work as a girl."

  Fei Ruhe smiled and said, "My sister is smarter than me. If she was a man, I'm afraid she would have been selected as a scholar."

  Fei Rulan smiled helplessly and stopped talking.

  Her fiancé, who was born in a prominent family in Jiujiang, has spread his reputation for prostitution to Qianshan.

   A dandy, even a scholar failed to pass the exam, Meng Yin became a student of the Imperial College, and spent money to buy a small official some time ago.

  Governor Wei Zhaocheng kept his promise, collected two thousand taels of silver, and soon helped to get the real shortage.

  Yin Jiansheng will definitely not be able to be a magistrate, but he can be a magistrate of Bapin County. He will be able to take up the post in Shanxi only after the Chinese New Year.

  The price of buying an official is also rising year by year.

  In the mid-Jiajing period, a state judge only needed 300 taels, and a doctor only needed 3,000 taels. It was so cheap and affordable, firstly, silver was scarce at that time, and secondly, the buyers had sufficient qualifications.

  In the late Jiajing period, the price of a doctor had risen to tens of thousands of taels. At that time, the inflow of silver from America increased, and he dared to sell his official position to those with insufficient qualifications.

  As for now, three thousand taels is enough to buy a small county magistrate, and a wealthy county must have seven or eight thousand taels, or even tens of thousands of taels.

   Moreover, supporting financial services have appeared, and Beijing's rich and powerful specialize in lending usury.

  You have no money to buy an official?

   Don't worry, just borrow usury.

   This kind of usury is called "Beijing debt", borrowing 10,000 taels, but actually only getting 5,000 taels, and the interest is horribly high. After borrowing money to buy an official, you must search the place quickly, otherwise you will have to do nothing in this life.

  Fei Rulan thought that in a year or two, she would have to fulfill her marriage contract and marry a **** and dude, and she immediately wanted to die.

   Walking slowly to the edge of the cliff, Fei Rulan looked at the field and felt the urge to jump down. Looking back, she saw that there were little kids around her, and she couldn't help chanting a poem: "Three winter months, the year of the dragon, and Wancheng watch the wind come out of Bachuan. From a distance, you can see the electric dragon turning into a horse, and you can look back at the jade field in the frosty plain."

  Zhao Han found a rock, sat down with his buttocks tilted, then stood up feeling cold, and said with a smile, "Sister, do you want to be Shangguan Wan'er? It's a pity that the current emperor is a man."

  Fei Rulan was a little surprised: "Have you ever learned this uncommon poem? Even if you want to become a Jinshi, I'm afraid you have rarely heard of it."

   "My father taught me when he was alive." Zhao Han is used to it, pushing everything on his own father.

  Fei Rulan praised: "My father is a learned man."

  Zhao Zhenfang said quickly: "My father is amazing, he has read a lot of books."

  Fei Rumei is not to be outdone: "My father is also very good, and he has read a lot of books."

  Two six or seven-year-old girls don't know anything, they just know whose father is better.

  Fei Ruhe felt that he couldn't get in the conversation, so he deliberately searched for a topic and said, "Zhao Han is amazing. Mr. taught us arithmetic. He only learned it for a few days. Mr. asked him in turn."

   "Really?" Fei Rulan didn't believe it.

   "I'm not lying, if my sister doesn't believe me, just ask Fei Chun." Fei Ruhe said.

  Fei Chun nodded vigorously: "Really, brother Han's arithmetic made me dizzy."

  Fei Rulan was only thirteen years old after all, her suicidal thoughts swirled and disappeared, and now she regained her girlish vigor. She said with a smile: "Then let me test you. Today there are pheasant rabbits in the same cage. There are thirty-five heads on the top and ninety-four legs on the bottom. Ask the pheasant rabbits how many?"

  Uh, chicken and rabbit in the same cage, can you have something new?

  This question seems to be difficult for the first grade of junior high school, or it may be the sixth grade of elementary school.

  Zhao Han didn't even bother to calculate the formula, and replied: "23 chickens, 12 rabbits."

   "Sure enough, he is good at arithmetic!" Fei Rulan praised.

  Zhao Han said modestly: "I just understand a little."

  Fei Rulan lived in a boudoir for a long time, and could go out on three or five festivals every year. In ancient times, there was no Internet, so being a house girl was hard, and even readable novels could not be found.

  Seeing that Zhao Han was quite interesting, she immediately came to talk about sex, and hurriedly asked, "Can you compose poetry?"

   "No." Zhao Han answered very simply.

  Fei Rulan was slightly disappointed, and asked again: "Will it be a pair?"

   "Not at all." Zhao Han was too lazy to waste his brain cells.

  Zhao Zhenfang said suddenly: "Second brother will, daddy taught him to be a pair. When we were fleeing famine, daddy was still teaching on the way."

   "Uh..." Zhao Han was speechless.

  Fei Rulan thought for a while, and came up with a question: "Why is a handsome man drunk? You are talking about a second line."

  Zhao Han said casually: "A good cabbage is no match for a pig."

   "No, no, it's a big mistake." Fei Rulan shook her head again and again, and then burst out laughing, "There is no one like you who is against you. You are not elegant at all."

  Hey, I don’t want to talk nonsense with you anymore, this kind of game is too naive, why not practice martial arts with your brother.

  Fei Rulan finally found someone to chat with, and kept talking all the way. Zhao Han casually replied a few words, which made her laugh with her mouth covered, and she didn't know why her smile was so low.

   At noon, I ate at the academy, rested for half an hour, and Lou took her daughter down the mountain.

  Fei Rulan was a little reluctant to part with her. Once she got home, no one would talk to her, only the maids were left to play.

   Dinner was eaten in Pang Chunlai's thatched cottage, and Xu Ying's family was there.

  Master Pang was very happy, drank a few more glasses, and then fell ill, because he didn't cover the quilt well at night.

  Damn the weather!

  The cold snap hit in the middle of the night, and it snowed heavily.

  Zhao Han got up in the morning, opened the door and saw that the mountains and plains were all white.

  He finally realized the power of the Little Ice River. This is Jiangxi, and half a foot of snow was accumulated overnight.

   Fortunately, he didn't stay in the north, otherwise he didn't know what the **** he was frozen into.

  Master Pang was ill, and for the next half a month, the teaching assistants would be used to substitute for the class.

  Zhao Han studied classics in the morning, practiced martial arts at noon, practiced calligraphy in the afternoon, and tutored his classmates in arithmetic in the evening.

  No matter the academy or the private school, the students all went home one after another.

  Fei Yinghuan personally tutors his son's homework, because there are boys' exams in spring, Fei Ruhe is forced to take the exam for boys.

   There is no suspense whether you can pass the exam, the key is to experience the atmosphere of the exam room.

   (Sacrifice two books: "Bringing the System to the Tang Dynasty", the second year of Kaiyuan, the prosperous Tang Dynasty, friends who like the prosperous Tang Dynasty, must not miss it.

   "These Monsters Are Too Difficult to Seal", there are many foreshadowings, many suspense, a large pattern, adventure fairy suspense, an original system of cultivating immortals, and it takes off after 30 chapters. )

  (end of this chapter)
