"Any official is not allowed to take part in the imperial examination for three generations. Does this mean that Ming'er's descendants will all be subordinate officials?" Yi Huan looked unhappy.
Tao Xin groaned, but didn't answer for a while.
She didn't think about it that much, but compared to letting Brother Ming cause trouble outside, it was already good to have a decent living, and guarding the granary was really a fat job, and he could make a lot of money every month, even the second bedroom Everyone was very jealous.
"Madam, please don't be impatient..."
Yi Huan walked quickly towards Yi Ming's yard. She asked, "How can I not be in a hurry? My sister-in-law doesn't know the stakes. How can he, Lin Qingpei, not know? Lin Qingpei is trying to ruin my father's lineage." The root of it.”
What on earth was he thinking? Why, are you afraid that if Ming'er or Ming'er's descendants become successful in the future, his position as a loyal general will not be guaranteed?
"I think the Second Master didn't think too much about it. I heard that Madam, you had recently urged Brother Ming to study and wanted Brother Ming to make a difference, so he went to find this good job for him. Brother Ming is at home. Being idle is also idle..."
Yi Huan had a splitting headache. She rubbed her forehead and asked, "Do you think Lin Qingpei is really doing it for Ming'er?"
"The second master may also want to please you, madam, and relieve your worries, so he proposed to let Brother Ming be a subordinate."
Yi Huan asked, "Is Lin Qingpei at home?"
Tao Xin shook her head and said, "The second master only sent someone to tell Mrs. Yi and Brother Ming about this matter, saying that he would give them one day to think about it."
"You haven't seen it. When the second master sent someone to deliver the message, the people from the second room were also there. After hearing this, their faces turned green. You must know that this is a fat job. No matter who falls on it, they will not be able to eat or drink for the rest of their lives. I’m worried.”
"You will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life... If you only want to do this and become a subordinate, my dowry can support him for the rest of his life! Ordinary people can't spend a lot of money in a year!"
She wanted to make Yi Ming successful.
Yi Ming is the only hope left for their lineage.
Arriving at Yi Ming's courtyard, Yi Ming had already been forced to change into the black clothes of a subordinate official at Cao's request.
Before Yi Huan entered, he heard Yi Ming crying: "I don't want to be a subordinate official, I don't want to be a subordinate official!"
Cao's voice came from inside: "What are you doing if you don't work as a subordinate? Do you go to Jinhua Casino to gamble every day?"
"I just don't want to be a minor official. Those minor officials on the street are beaten and scolded all day long. What's the point of doing that?"
Ms. Cao said angrily: "How can you be successful if you hang out with those gangsters? If you don't go, you have to go to me! Your uncle finally found a job for you, but you won't go if you don't want to go?"
Yi Ming opened his drake voice and shouted: "My aunt still wants me to study!"
"Have you ever become famous in reading? If you have become famous in reading, that's fine. It's been so long and you are already thirteen years old and you can't even recite all 20 Analects of Confucius!"
Yi Ming frowned and said, "I can already memorize sixteen chapters! I still have to take the college examination and enter Baichuan Academy!"
He still remembered the agreement he made with that girl, and all he wanted to do was learn gambling skills from her.
If you become a petty official guarding a granary, wouldn't you be unable to take part in the college examination?
he does not want!
Cao Yaqin wanted to say something else.
Yi Huan hurriedly walked in and said, "I agree with Ming'er this time."
When Yi Ming saw his aunt, he immediately walked over and said, "Aunt, my mother asked me to be a subordinate. She asked me to take up the job tomorrow. I don't want it!"
"Don't worry, your aunt is here, no one can force you." Yi Huan said calmly.
Cao Yaqin also looked surprised when she saw her.
"Huan'er, you're back!"
Yi Huan said to Yi Ming: "Go and change out of these clothes first, and I'll talk to your mother."
"Okay!" Yi Ming hurriedly slipped back to the room.
Yi Huan frowned and looked at her sister-in-law. She asked, "Sister-in-law, this job that Lin Qingpei found for him is inappropriate."
Cao Yaqin said: "Huan'er, don't dislike General Lin just because you are angry with him. I know what you are worried about, but I am afraid. I am afraid that Ming'er will cause trouble in the future. Now no one in the family can If you can protect him, the job of a subordinate official is neither big nor small, and he has some real power."
"Where are Ming'er's sons and grandsons from now on? Will their descendants all become subordinate officials?"
"But if you ask him to study, he won't be able to read it. Look, he can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius, let alone those more difficult to understand policies. With his appearance, you ask him to take the imperial examination until he is sixty years old. I’m afraid I won’t be able to win.”
"Then I will raise him until he is sixty years old. Even if I don't eat or drink, I will definitely not starve Ming'er. Ming'er is my brother's only son. I naturally have high hopes for him. My father is a general. My brother is a general, there is no reason to let him be a subordinate when he comes to Ming'er!"
In the past, she would listen to whatever Mr. Cao said.
But now, when it comes to the future of Ming'er and Yi Mansion, we must not be so rash!
"Huan'er, Ming'er is my child. Don't quarrel with me. I don't ask him to be rich and successful. I just want him to live a stable life. Really, I've had enough. Your brother is promising, but What was the result? He died on the battlefield. In the end, there was no one to collect his body. I didn’t even see him for the last time."
As he spoke, Cao Yaqin's eyes turned red.
After all, Cao Yaqin resented Yi Sheng. She blamed him for leaving them orphans and widowers, and blamed him for not giving her a good life.
"What's the use of getting ahead? Instead of fighting for a future every day, I would rather he be an ordinary person and live like an ordinary person." Cao Yaqin's eyes turned red.
Yi Huan clenched her cheeks and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you think it's not worth my father and brother's death to protect our family and country?"
"But sister-in-law, if there were not people like my father and brother fighting on the front line, how could the common people live a stable life! I will always be proud of them!"
Just like Jin Yuan, he will always be proud of his mother.
Even though her father and brother didn't come home a few times when she was a child, Yi Huan would feel honored every time she heard people flattering her father and brother and saying that her father and brother were great generals.
Her father and brother are great, they are upright generals.
Cao Yaqin turned away and said, "Huan'er, Yi Ming is my child. I have the right to decide what he will do in the future, not to mention his current temper. Even if he succeeds in school, I don't want him to be like his father." Like."
"When Ming'er was young, you manipulated him and developed his arrogant temperament. On the contrary, I listen to you, but I don't seem to be any better."
"Sister-in-law, this is the first time I have disobeyed you. I don't allow it. I don't allow Ming'er to be a subordinate. Not to mention that Lin Qingpei got this job for Ming'er. What does Lin Qingpei have in mind? Don’t I know yet?”
"He just wants to destroy our lineage so that the Yi family can no longer enter Nanying. Is this really for Ming'er? My sister-in-law must not be taken advantage of without knowing it."
