Chapter 94 Difficult
Lin Yue'er enthusiastically took her by the hand and entered the room, and introduced her to her mother as soon as she entered the room.

"Mother, this is Wenwen, this is Zhou Hui."

"Greetings to my aunt, my aunt is well, my second cousin is well, my cousin is well..."

Wenwen and Zhou Hui greeted the elders politely.

"Get up, good boy, sit down quickly, I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time."

The second cousin, Qin Shi, looked at the two children and admired them in her heart. The two children had a unique and elegant temperament, and their appearance was also the best. Even if they got a little tanned, it didn't matter, as long as the girl grew up, it would be fine.

Zhou Hui, in particular, has a natural demeanor, and at first glance, he has the demeanor and demeanor of an official's son.

"Auntie came all the way from the capital, and the journey was exhausting. Is my cousin okay in the capital?"

"Your cousin praised you. He rescued him a few times and helped him a lot. I came here this time to worship his ancestors. He may not come back until years ago.

Thanks to your fragrant dew, my natal sister-in-law praised our husband and wife twice, and also won me a lot of face.

My aunt is grateful, and specially brought you some gadgets from the capital, your girl's house is the most suitable. "

"Look at what my aunt said. In fact, I originally wanted to help the girls in the clan find something to do and save some dowry money. The girls in the village don't have as many ways as Miss Qianjin.

Thanks to my aunt, grandma and other elders for taking care of our Wang family and doing business together, the Wang family has also benefited.

Parents are still in the capital thanks to the help of my uncles and aunts. We are very grateful. My grandma told me to meet the elders and kowtow a few more times to show my heart. "

"We are relatives, are we in the same spirit, come on."

The Qin family liked Wenwen more and more as soon as she heard it. Parents must have said these words often, and the children remembered them. The Wang family's education is indeed good, and it is remarkable. They know how to be grateful, teach their children well, and get on the stage.

Mrs. Qin took out the gift she had prepared a long time ago. It was a red lacquered wooden box. When it was opened, it was a set of plum-blossom jewelry inlaid with gold and rubies inlaid with silk. The style is wrapped around the top of the head, which is very delicate and beautiful.

"My aunt gave it to you."

Qin's attitude was very solemn and took her hand.

Just as Wenwen wanted to open her mouth to refuse, Qin Shi rushed to the front and said, "Good boy, the elders can't deny the gift, it's our affection."

Wenwen hesitated for a moment, nodded and thanked happily, "Thank you, auntie, for loving me."

"Is that right? Brother Hui, come here."

Zhou Hui took a step forward, kept a distance of about three steps from the female relatives, and bent down to bow.

"These two books are for you, one is a rubbing copy, and the other is a copybook, I think you can use it.

I heard from your uncle that your grades are very good, so don't slack off and keep working hard. You must know that Jiangnan has produced talents since ancient times, and most of the top three in the past were occupied by Jiangnan talents. "

The Qin family sincerely encouraged Zhou Hui. The strength of the scholars in Jiangnan is absolutely top-notch, which is really true.

"Thank you, auntie, for teaching me, the younger generation will remember it."

Zhou Hui bowed deeply to express his gratitude.

"Well, I'm looking forward to hearing good news about you in the palace examination. Your uncle has shown his face to the Wang family."

Wang Yi's talent is also recognized, not the ranking, but the practical and pragmatic spirit shown in the test paper, which contains his rich life experience, and he has something to say. I liked it so much that I was hand-picked as the champion.

In terms of appearance, Wang Yi is no worse than anyone else. In terms of age, he is young, married, relatively down-to-earth, and has experience. In all aspects, he is a junior worth cultivating.

Only the second child of the Lin family went to the Imperial Academy, and none of the others went to the Imperial Academy.

This place is synonymous with nobility, and it is also a place to cultivate the most potential talents. Officials who can enter the cabinet have all stayed in the Imperial Academy for more than a year.

Wang Yi's entry into the Hanlin Academy has greatly benefited the entire Wang family, and the entire clan has been raised a bit, that's how realistic it is.

In the capital city, even an eighth-rank Beijing official is worth many times more than a seventh-rank county magistrate outside. No matter how many people break their heads, they can't squeeze into such a position of an eighth-rank Beijing official.

Why did Wang Yi bring so much money to the capital, first to buy property, even if he is an official in the capital, that salary is not enough to support his family. If you rely on salary alone, you are absolutely poor and cannot afford good shoes.

Houses in the capital are expensive, fields are expensive, shops are expensive, and there is nothing that is not expensive.

Wang Yi is not yet able to gain a firm foothold in the capital, but his head has just entered the capital. Whether he will leave the capital to accumulate political achievements in the future depends on the follow-up specific situation. Everything is unknown, so he cannot bring his wife, children and children with him. into Beijing.

Wenwen listened to Aunt Biao explain her parents' situation in the capital in detail. Her father worked as an editor in the Imperial Academy and was an eighth-rank official, lower than the seventh-rank county magistrate, but much more valuable than it.

The patriarch and Lizheng's two sons were both Jinshi, and luckily, they were dispatched to Qipin county magistrates within a short time after passing the exam.

This is really good luck, it's true, there are so many official positions fixed, and there won't be more official positions for no reason.

Every year there are people from other places who come to the capital to fill up. There will be many more people waiting for the scientific examination every three years. Think about it, how many more people will be needed, and you can arrange it on your head, so you can just laugh.

This requires contacts and resources. Even the position of a county magistrate is divided into good and bad, poor counties and rich counties. Like the Wang family, which belongs to rich counties, there are at most high and low grades, but you need to have some connections to come here. , ordinary people, I'm sorry, you really can't catch up.

There is no accident in Fushu County, political achievements are picked for nothing, as long as you don’t play tricks and don’t be so stupid that you can get excellent grades in two or six years, with this political achievement, you can still get it when you go to other places next time Compete with others for a good position.

It is not easy for poor counties to become rich. There is a lack of everything, ambition may not be rewarding, and there are many difficulties such as pressure from your immediate boss.

It is not surprising that some will serve as county magistrates for a lifetime.

The fourth-rank Beijing official of the second cousin of the Lin family is really not low to most officials, and he can be regarded as a respectable family, belonging to the Qingliu lineage.

The Wang family just farmed and studied, and they couldn't rely on the word Qingliu.

There are too many complicated twists and turns in the officialdom, and it is not something that can be opened with money.

Three generations of businessmen can take the imperial examination to be an official, but even if you win the first prize, you may not be able to integrate into the ranks of civil servants, and you will be rejected.

Everyone doesn't like you for your business style, and people don't want to give gifts, because they are afraid that you will cause trouble if you get involved.

Don't underestimate the poor family, the poor family is a category supported by the emperor, and it is specially used to check and balance with the powerful. It plays a pivotal role in the balance between the officialdom and the court, so the poor family is also accepted and protected by the literati.

There are at least two positions in the cabinet reserved for poor families, which is a tacit understanding.

But the three generations of businessmen and officials have to be ranked at the bottom, and it is too early to integrate.

The family of military generals wants to change their family and guard the resources of the imperial court for several generations, but they have repeatedly failed. With the money of a businessman, it is like melting into the clear stream. What are you dreaming of?
