A few days later, Young Master Guo Xu was arranging for the escort chief to open a branch in other places to expand the influence of Changfeng Escort Bureau.
Suddenly someone sent a congratulatory note from Deng Ren, the little god of wealth. When I opened it, I was surprised!
What did Cheng Caiyu see when he saw Guo Xu: "Guo Xu, what's going on? What happened?".
Guo Xu: "See for yourself!"
Then, he asked other escorts, "Has Xiao Yuzi arrived today?"
One of the bodyguards said, "I just came here. I asked Xiao Yuzi to help nail the horse stalls."
"Yes, it rained a few days ago and a corner of the stable collapsed. It needs to be repaired..."
"Tamako is a diligent person..."
Young Master Guo Xu waved his hand: "That's all for today. Let's break up. Someone call Xiao Yuzi over. I have something to say to him."
"Yes, young master..."
After the others dispersed, only Cheng Caiyu and Guo Xu were left.
Guo Xu: "Cai Yu, what do you think?"
Cheng Caiyu was stunned for a while and said: "My goodness, there are so many people studying hard for ten years. As for you Guo Xu, when you were a child, you didn't clamor to take the scientific examination and become a high official, but in the end you didn't even have the voice of a child. Hit the mark."
Guo Xu was embarrassed: "If I didn't say that, it was in person, in person, that examiner was targeting..."
Cheng Caiyu: "I know, you've said this eight hundred times!"
Guo Xu: "Are there that many?"
Cheng Caiyu rolled his eyes and came back to his senses and said, "Anyway, I'm going to win. With Xiao Yuzi's age, it's possible to win a Jinshi in the future."
"By the way, Xiao Su, come on, come on, call Xiao Su back!"
"This little kid gets wild when he goes out. It's true... he's still little Yuzi..."
At this time, Xie Yu came in a short dress and hurriedly came from outside. After saluting, he said: "Young Master, Miss, what are you calling me?"
Guo Xu coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Yuzi, if it hadn't been for the letter from the Little God of Wealth Mansion, I wouldn't have known that you had won the second place on the list and became the master of the exam."
"Why didn't you tell me before?"
Xie Yu: "Well, eldest young master, I was born in Nasu Prison and donated to the prison. I have never taken the student examination before. I was lucky enough to win, but I am still not accepted by orthodox scholars."
"It's good that you know it yourself, but you don't dare to publicize it too much. Besides, whether I'm successful or not, I'm still a member of the Changfeng Escort Agency. This remains unchanged."
There was no way, even if it was Xie Yuzhong's move, in the career column of the damn data panel, he was still the robber of Changfeng Escort Agency, as if it was fixed and unchanged.
The only change is that Changfeng Escort's status blessing has been doubled. For example, it used to be 27 times the status blessing. When Changfeng Escort Bureau adds status, it can be doubled to 54 times, and the time becomes longer and the scope is expanded.
But at a certain time, you still have to go back to Changfeng Escort Bureau to update and add the status, and if you do some work, the status will be improved faster!
Is this the semi-solidified data panel reminding Xie Yu not to drift off, to respect the promising career of Changfeng Escort Bureau's journeyman, and not to forget his roots?
if not!
You should be Xie Yu, it’s okay, it’s so rare to find a job for yourself!
Now he has the status of a scholar, and he has three wives and four concubines in an upright manner...
However, in the minds of Young Master Cheng Caiyu and Guo Xu, Xie Yu's actions, keeping a low profile and not forgetting his roots, were naturally excellent.
Then, he asked Xie Yu what his next plan was, whether he would continue studying or become an official. Xie Yu naturally said that what his mentors and old examiners meant was that he would not become an official before he was crowned at the age of twenty. To participate in the examination, he should focus on self-study and reading.
He also said that he was good at playing chess and was recommended by Qin's examiner to Zhongshan Academy in Shangyuan County, where he was a third-year student in Jinling. As a part-time Go teacher, Xie Yu was actually allowed to enrich his knowledge by enriching the collections of Zhongshan Academy.
Although he didn’t know much about what happened in the examination room, Xie Yu mentioned it several times
This deputy examiner Qin.
The deputy examiner Qin was too interested in Xie Yu, so Xie Yu had no choice but to tell him about the fact that the deputy examiner Qin introduced his niece to him.
In a daze, Cheng Caiyu thought of what he had said to his best friend before. Although Xie Yu was from a poor background, he was able to win the Jinshi at a young age and indeed had a bright future.
Yes, for many women in the boudoir, marrying a first-class official and becoming a real lady is still an excellent family background.
After all, with the ancient contraceptive measures, medical conditions, and the concept of having more children and grandchildren, as long as the family conditions allowed, it was not possible to have a baby.
It is normal for a large family to have more than a dozen brothers and sisters.
With the constraints on women, feudal traditional thinking, and comparisons between sisters, they are just showing off the honor and disgrace in their husband's family.
This saying of "well-matched families" has been known since ancient times. If the marriage between Xie Yu and Miss Xiao Su had been decided upon when they just came back from Yunjiazhuang, it would be a good story.
This is Xiao Su, who has expressed his disgust since the return trip, and doesn't know what to think.
Here, Miss Cheng heard what Xie Yu meant. Even if Xie Yu was still a member of her Changfeng Escort Bureau, in terms of status, he was now the number one scholar, farmer, industrialist, and businessman, and he had the power to decide life and death as an official. Qualified.
Since it has not been decided before, with Xiao Su's current status, it is not suitable for Xie Yu to be his wife, unless Xiao Su is willing to be Xie Yu's wife.
In Miss Cheng's understanding, a woman must only be a wife no matter what, and must not show her lust as a concubine, where she has no control over her life.
So, they no longer mentioned some things, but talked about some practical matters with Xie Yu. For example, many people in the escort agency originally paid money to be exempted from military service in the name of a famous person.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Xie Yu also has the status of being a civil servant now, so he can use some quota to protect people in the Changfeng Escort Bureau, and the price will naturally not be lower than that of outsiders.
With Xie Yu's current situation where one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, it is easy to say that selling the quota is not for anyone.
Unconsciously, without doing anything every year, Xie Yu can earn at least three hundred taels of silver every year as a white-collar worker in Changfeng Escort Bureau by just taking out an immune and tax-free quota. No wonder there is a saying that the golden person is promoted and the silver Jinshi is said.
It’s no wonder that many scholars do nothing, travel every day, and still have no shortage of money to spend. In addition to having a family background, they also have the convenient status of being a scholar.
Youdao is like a child who travels around the country, a scholar who travels around the state, and a scholar who travels around the world.
That is, this approach is a bit undermining the foundation of the imperial court. Xie Yu can get three hundred taels of silver for free every year, but for the imperial court, it may lose three thousand taels of income every year.
For more people, according to the system, students have 80 acres of tax-free land, and those who have passed the exam have 1,200 acres of tax-free land.
Many people study desperately, and there are many utilitarian people among them, and this is also the reason.
Xie Yu can now be regarded as joining the rentier class of wool-gathering, not to mention the king.
There are many disadvantages to the imperial examination, but it also has its advantages.
A few days later, in the same year, Cheng Renqing finally saw the house and asked Xie Yu to help move it!
A letter was also sent to the Imperial College, and Xie Yu and Cheng Renqing went back to the Imperial College together.
He also rejected some people who volunteered to serve as slaves and entrusted them to him. There were even some who were older than Xie Yu and wanted to worship Xie Yu as his godfather.
Xie Yu naturally refused. He had a lot of "secrets" and felt that it was better to stay alone at this stage.
It was Cheng Renqing's intention to accept two long-term followers who were familiar with the customs and customs of Jinling City, but at this time, these people were definitely interested in profiting from the benefits. The cost of betrayal for such people was too low, and most of them were sophisticated self-interested people.
After finishing, the two went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to report to the Imperial Academy. Cheng Renqing came to receive his title of ninth-grade calligrapher from the Inspection Academy and to become an official.
Xie Yu, on the other hand, took the recommendation letter from deputy examiner Qin and refused to accept the position because of his junior grade.
Fortunately, I've said hello in advance, so it's not a big problem.
