Daming: Wanted to be a small landlord, but was forced to ascend the throne

Chapter 167 Leopard Workshop and Dog Workshop

Qin Shao thought about wishing the old man would arrive on the day of Liao Guo Di (the so-called housewarming) two days later.

Unexpectedly, he rushed over that afternoon.

"Ziming! Ziming! You kid didn't talk about your home when you came here. How long has it been since you came here before you remembered that you have me as a teacher?"

Master Zhu said as he got out of the car, his beard trembling with anger.

Qin Shao hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, saying that he had just been here for a few days, and a friend happened to have a house here, so he wanted to settle down and visit him.

Zhu Zhishan walked around the yard a few times, and said that the house is good, and it must be worth a lot of money.

Qin Shao remembered the situation when he went to Zhu Fuzi's house, and knew that they were not very comfortable living in that small courtyard.

And I wish my wife is sincere, but some of the interpersonal communication is not too transparent, I guess I should not be too harmonious with my family.

"If Master likes it, you might as well live with us. Anyway, there are many houses here."

Qin Shao sincerely invited.

I wish my master took care of me a lot, and his house in Jingshan also generated a lot of income for me.

This time, I wanted to give Mrs. Zhu some flowers, but with this old man's personality, I definitely wouldn't accept it.

Can only help in other ways.

"There are two study rooms on your side, not bad, not bad! The environment is also elegant and quiet."

"It's not suitable for you to live here. I have my son and daughter-in-law over there. It's not convenient to live here. It's okay to come here occasionally. I can also borrow the study room. The study room at home is too small."

"The exam in March will be held in another month. How are you preparing, master?"

Because of the previous thieves' chaos, various examinations were interrupted a lot, and the court took care of the students.

Today's general examination will be held in March, and next year there will be another rural examination, and another general examination will be added in February of the following year.

Many candidates who have no confidence this year are considering participating in the next year.

In August next year, Qin Shao will rush back to the Huguang Provincial Government to take part in the provincial examination.

"Don't talk about me, of course I study hard every day. As for the grades at that time, everything depends on God's will! But you, you won't be busy with your business all day long, without my supervision, can't you study hard? Check out how you've learned!"

Qin Shao had a headache.

I really shouldn't bring up the topic of not opening the pot, it's just making myself uncomfortable.

However, seeing that the old man Zhu is in a good state of mind, Qin Shao is still very happy.

I wish the old man's knowledge is not a problem. Qin Shao has also read his articles and feels that there should be no problem in taking the Jinshi exam. I don't know why he always fails the exam.

He observed the old man Zhu for a long time, and felt that besides his bad luck, the main reason was his mental quality in the examination room.

In fact, I can't blame the old man Zhu. The imperial examinations are tortured, and they pass year after year. In fact, the torment to people can be imagined.

And I wish the old man is getting older now, he doesn't take advantage of the examination room, and he has hypoglycemia problems.

He has to find a way to let the old man Zhu perform normally. If he really fails the exam like fate, he will try his best!
Anyway, this is the last scientific examination of the old man Zhu in history, and he really failed.

It's just that the old man Zhu said that he took the exam with his son Zhu Xu this time, and that father and son took the exam together. This was the first time Qin Shao heard of it.

According to history, I wish the old man's son also passed the Jinshi exam.

If the same test, the son passed the exam, but I didn't pass the exam, the feeling of joy and sadness is really complicated.

No wonder the old man Zhu didn't take the exam in the end, and was directly recommended by someone to fill in the vacancy and become a county magistrate in a remote place.

……

Two days later, Qin Shao lit the bottom of the pot at home and held a housewarming banquet.

It was said that it was a housewarming banquet, except for the old man Zhu and Wang Yun, there were basically no outsiders.

For today's housewarming banquet, Han Jinrong has been busy at home for several days.

He also spent money to hire a cook to help the kitchen.

The old man Zhu came over alone in the morning, brought some gifts, and had lunch at Qin Shao's house, and then went to the study to study his poems and paintings.

He has been painting an ink painting for the past two days. He doesn't like to be disturbed when painting. They have a large family and have two grandchildren, which is very inconvenient. He said yesterday that he would come to Qin Shao's place to live for a day or two.

Qin Shao had asked for help to tidy up his living place yesterday.

He ate some food and reminded himself that he was drawing a picture, and finally he had to compose a poem. When eating, he didn't need to be called or disturbed.

Han Jinrong directly asked the third son to get him a large teapot of water, and brought a large plate of pastries over, and then closed the door for him.

...

Xicheng Bingma Division.

Wang Yun has just quit his job and is about to go home.

"Brother Wang, are you resigned? My little brother just happened to be in time. I came here to do something like this, and I was just about to ask you for a few drinks. Let's go! Go!"

On the side of the door, a person suddenly appeared, almost scaring Wang Yun.

"It's Tongzi! You scared me, who did I think it was! I can't drink today, I have something else to do, so I'll drink with you another day."

Wang Yun said with a sigh of relief.

This kid has been taken aback since he was a child.

"What do you do today? You won't coax my younger brother to go home to accompany my sister-in-law, right? I said brother, when I was young, you were the one I admired the most. You fished in the river and caught cicadas in the tree. Since you married your sister-in-law, you have been with the younger brothers. It's getting more and more distant!"

Lin Tong complained.

Wang Yun was a little helpless. He played in the river when he was a child. This kid has been daring since he was a child. He jumped into the river with a stature like a carrot. If he hadn't been able to swim to hold him back, he would have been in the Paradise long ago.

"What did you say? You'll find out when you get married! I really have something to do today. A relative moved in, so I'll go to the housewarming banquet."

Wang Yun laughed.

"Where are you going to participate? Is it far away?"

"It's not too far, it's just on the west side."

"Then brother, little brother is fine, I'll just be your little follower and follow you through the bars!"

Lin Tong said directly.

"you……"

Wang Yun was a little speechless and hesitant, but Lin Tong looked into his eyes with the same cunning and mischievousness as a child, and finally nodded helplessly.

"By the way, brother, I told you to go to Xiyuan Dog Square, how do you think about it?"

...

Wang Yun's house.

"Father... I didn't let him go, but he insisted on going. It's not like you don't know his character, since you were a child..."

Wang Yun looked at his father with some embarrassment.

"Father, it won't have any influence, right? I think the eldest son is also a kind person. Who is he? Why are you so secretive? I don't know Yuan Zonggao, and you don't worry about me revealing my secrets?"

"It shouldn't have any effect, but it's better to pay attention, try not to let strangers disturb the eldest son. You should also take care of the eldest son."

"Yes! Father. Who is the eldest son? Is he a relative of Yuan Changshi? A Yuan Zonggao won't make us..."

"Don't ask so much, I will tell you when I need to tell you! By the way, your aunt also sent some pastries from the palace, and you bring them to the eldest son so that you can taste them. "

Wang Tu took out a gift box from the side table.

Wang Yun was a little surprised.

The things that the aunt and grandmother in the palace gave were always precious to the father, and sometimes he was reluctant to let him touch them, but he was even willing to give them to the eldest son.

He was a little puzzled, but he was always filial and didn't ask too much.

"By the way, father, Lin Tong said that there is a vacancy in Goufang, and he wanted to recommend me to go there. Look..."

Wang Yun was a little moved.

He knew that Lin Tong was kind to him, and he recommended him to go there because he knew it was a vacancy.

Although he was in the military and horse department in Xicheng, he was only a deputy, a seventh-rank official, with a monthly salary of 7 shi and 5 dong, which was only 90 shi a year, and his work was messy, and many of the jobs he did were easy to offend people.

It's just that their family has nothing to do with it now, and it's not so easy to find a job if they want to move around.

"Lin Tong's entry into the Leopard Workshop should be due to Jiang Bin's relationship, right?"

Wang Tu asked suddenly.

"Yes, Jiang Dudu is now a popular person around the emperor, and Lin Tong is the nephew of Jiang Dudu's aunt's husband's family, so he is naturally taken care of. There is a vacancy in this dog shop now, and many people have been eyeing it. If it weren't for Lin Tong and I when we were young Of course, this fat job will not fall to my son."

"I heard from Lin Tong that the current salary of Goufang has risen to 110 shi every year, and there is a lot of money in it. My son thinks...the family will spend more and more in the future, and the daughter-in-law is also pregnant. Where will I spend the money in the future..."

Wang Yun hesitated for a moment and said.

Their father has always taught them to be low-key, diligent and thrifty, and not to be too ostentatious.

Earlier, if he worked a bit, he could have found a better job, but his father kept keeping himself low-key, saying that he could just stay in Bingmasi.

"Do you think the emperor gave so much salary just to let you look at those animals? Is it really because he likes those animals? Stupid!"

"Then... what is that for?"

Wang Yun asked puzzledly.
