"Thank you, Lord Magistrate!"
"You're welcome, Tiance, come to the county study room tomorrow to study."
ah?
Yu Tiance was stunned and didn't react for a while.
This is exactly what he expected!
I just didn't expect that Zeng Yu would take the initiative to invite him.
It sounds very common, but it is very rare.
Those who have passed the scholar examination will basically go to county schools or government schools to study. They will not be considered "graduated" until they pass the examination.
But there are also many scholars who don't want to continue taking the exams, so like the common people, they need to serve for a month every year to help the government and stand guard.
The county study room is different from the county school.
The teachers in the county school are basically all candidates, and the county magistrate teaches in the county study room himself!
Originally, Yu Tiance had given up on this idea because he was ranked at the bottom and it would not be his turn no matter what.
Unexpectedly, luck came like this?
Yu Tiance's heart was pounding and he didn't know what to say.
The eighth brother-in-law, Wang Chuan, had passed the scholar examination for four years. Every year at the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival, he competed for a place in the county study room, and every year he went back in disgrace.
He made an exception!
Eighth brother-in-law Wang Chuan, what else is there to show off?
He's so funny than his father-in-law!
Seeing that Yu Tiance was in a daze, Zeng Yu asked with a smile: "What? Judging from your expression, you don't want to be my disciple?"
"Yes! Of course I do!" Yu Tiance bowed.
Hahaha!
Zeng Yu raised his hand and helped Yu Tiance up.
"If you come to the county government office tomorrow, you have to enter from behind the county government office, you know..."
"Know!"
"Okay, let's get the factory started."
After saying that, Zeng Yu and Qin Xiao got on the carriage.
Before leaving, Zeng Yu opened the curtains and said: "Tiance, you only need to worry about production. Sales don't need to worry about you. The rest of the time, you can just concentrate on your studies."
"As you command, my lord!"
Zeng Yu turned his head and looked at the commander-in-chief and the two centurions: "In the recent period, you have cooperated with him to run the pencil factory."
In the first place, two centurions bowed and said: "As you command, my lord!"
With 200 soldiers, the factory can be built quickly.
Two days later, the entire pencil factory was surrounded by a circle of loess.
More than fifty beggars have gradually adapted to the life here, and have expressed their opinions that they have saved enough money and want to buy a house in the city, or build a house outside the city.
Yu Tiance adjusted his production model, so that by tying himself here, his life could no longer be considered free and easy, and he had completely turned into a social animal!
It is better to follow Shen Jing's suggestion and divide the beggars into groups of five.
There are ten furnaces in the factory, and ten team leaders are appointed to lead others to produce pencils. This will make the efficiency higher.
Not only that, Yu Tiance also proposed a statistical system.
That is, for the group that produces the most pencils every month, the team leader will receive a bonus of ten cents, and the other four will receive eight cents.
It doesn't sound like much, and it's far different from the dozens or even hundreds of taels that Yu Tiance sells for a painting, but you have to know that carrying a bag at the dock for a day only costs five cents, so the salary is not low.
In this way, Yu Tiance can be regarded as a trustee. He only needs to take a look occasionally and give technical guidance.
When I got home, it was already dusk.
Shen Jing hurriedly came out: "Lang Jun, dad is here this afternoon. He heard that we bought the Jiang family house and asked us to come over for dinner in the evening."
Banquet, another banquet!
The Shen family doesn't have much to do, but banquets are quite frequent.
Yu Tiance didn't hate this kind of activity, but he bothered his brothers-in-law to show off to him!
"What gifts should I bring?"
Shen Jing took the silk cloth from Chen Qing's hand and said hurriedly: "Lang Jun, just take this!"
Those two pieces of silk cloth were the finest silk from Luoyang, and Shen Jing refused to let them go last time.
But then I think about it, now is different from before.
Not to mention silk from Luoyang, Lu Yuan can also get back Japanese kimonos.
Shen family, main hall.
At the oversized round table, Shen Kang sat in the middle, the two ladies sat on the left and right, the eight daughters and eight sons-in-law sat respectively, and Yu Tiance and Shen Jing sat on the outermost side.
Shen Kang picked up a cup and said with a smile: "Come on, congratulations to Biaozi for passing the scholar examination. Although his ranking is not that good, he still managed to get in! He also cheated and got Jiang Hong's Zhaizi deserves to be celebrated!”
Yu Tiance's face darkened as he listened.
This Shen Kang really cares about food but not about fighting!
You can speak well, but why do you speak so poorly?
It's like this son-in-law was picked up from the garbage dump!
Just when he was about to retort, Shen Jing pinched his thigh, then picked up the wine glass: "Thank you, dad, thank you, sister and brothers-in-law."
Yu Tiance looked up at the sky and sighed with a wry smile.
If you want to find one, look for an only child. This family is really troubled!
In a short time, more than a dozen jars were drunk.
At this time, it was the usual part again. After the father-in-law finished bragging about himself, the eight brothers-in-law also came on the stage and began to brag about themselves.
Only the seventh brother-in-law, Zheng Ci, had a much lower-key gathering this time. He only taught Yu Tiance some precautions for the provincial examination, and didn't say much else. Maybe it was because he couldn't solve the math problems.
The eighth brother-in-law, Wang Chuan, raised his wine glass and said, "Biaozi, have you been told to go to the county school to study?"
Yu Tiance smiled and shook his head.
"That's right. You have just become a scholar, and the county government has not yet counted the number of people. In two days, the county government will organize a cultural meeting. Four years ago, when I passed the college examination, the county magistrate asked everyone to do a question. A poem……"
Not knowing what he wanted to express, he drank down the wine in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile: "If you write poems well, you can enter the county study room. This year, I want to compete in the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival! You definitely can't compete. Very powerful."
go!
Only then did Yu Tiance understand that Wang Chuan was also showing off himself and belittling others.
Should I tell him?
You participated in three or four poetry competitions in a row, and were eliminated every time. I was admitted under special circumstances, and you still have the nerve to show off in front of me?
However, when he thought of everyone's faces, Yu Tiance suppressed the words in his throat.
If he had told him that he had been invited into the study by the county magistrate, his father-in-law and eight brothers-in-law would have been laughed at mercilessly and beaten to death. They would not believe it.
Then don't explain, let them see the facts tomorrow.
After three rounds of drinking, the two left Shen's mansion.
Under the bright moonlight, Shen Jing held Yu Tiance's arm with a happy face and said sweetly: "Mr. Lang, you performed so well today. This is how people should be. No matter what others say, just smile and let them show off." !”
Ha~
This little sweet wife is quite independent of the world.
However, that's it.
A familiar voice came from behind the two of them.
"Biaozi, in the next few days there will be a fireworks festival and all the talented scholars in the county will go. The county magistrate will choose two people to enter the study and be his disciples. You have to work hard!"
Um?
Yu Tiance looked back.
When he saw the person's face clearly, Yu Tiance couldn't help but frown.
Why is it him?
