Chapter 75 School, Opportunity

Is Jiao Yufeng Hao?From the perspective of the people in the village, it is really quite ditch. How long has it been since the good yard has been built, and now, ah, it is actually going to be built again?Or expand directly from the edge of the yard, and build seven or eight rooms in a row?Or is it specially for servants to live in?This moron is almost inhumane, okay?

"I said, Erlang, you... This is a good house, I think it should be able to live in it, what are you fussing about now? Is it because you have money and have nowhere to spend it or something?"

Ever since Jiao Yufeng invited Grandpa Chun to take the seat and act as the head of the family on the day Jiao Yufeng held a wine in the village, Grandpa Chun was very concerned about Jiao Yufeng's family affairs. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately started running to Jiao Yufeng's house, After leaving the house, before he even had time to take a sip of water, he hurriedly asked about the house, for fear that his cousin would act impulsively.

Jiao Yufeng is not one of those ignorant ones, not only does he not find it troublesome to have such an elder who cares about him all the time, on the contrary, he is quite touched, so when he speaks, he naturally has something to say, and tries his best not to make Grandpa Chun worry .

"The population of my family... Even if they are servants, they are still outsiders... After all, Mrs. Shen came from the palace. No matter how you go to the countryside, you have to pay attention to some rules...the family is not short of money. This time This gangster matter, because the letter was reported in time, the yamen also rewarded 20 taels, and if you save it, you can't have a baby, so you simply spend it on it, so that you can move to the wing room directly when the kid in the family grows up. We got through, one is used as a study, the other is used as a bedroom..."

Jiao Yufeng's meaning is very clear, the family is rich and self-willed, and he wants to tidy up some rules, so as to avoid the inconvenience of the servant living in the same yard with the master for a long time.But when these words heard Grandpa Chun's ears, they had other meanings.

"Live separately? The child lives in the West Wing? This... is not bad."

What's good?What he thinks is that Jiao Shibo is still young now, there are three rooms in the main house, Erlang and his wife live in the east room, and the child lives in the west room, which is quite suitable, but how many years later?He also knows that according to the rules of the big family, boys will start living in the outer courtyard at the age of 7. Firstly, it is to facilitate children's study and study, so as not to lose their rigidity in the hands of women for a long time; secondly, it is also a way to avoid suspicion. Different seats and so on are not followed by one or two households.Now that the Jiao family is up and wants to follow the rules of the big family, it really makes sense to make such an arrangement.Although it's not an outer courtyard, it's still a division of the house, right?

As for the long walk that the servants were allotted to the side, this can’t be wrong. He saw that the house was crowded, but it was just crowded. If you have money, the country land is worthless. The manpower is also sufficient, and it is reasonable to build a few more rooms so that everyone can live more spaciously. At least this can be regarded as a master-slave distinction, lest after a long time, my cousin and nephew cannot control these people.

Grandpa Chun thought about it from Jiao Yufeng's point of view, not only nodded, but also carefully looked inside the room, and after making sure there was no one there, he lowered his voice and said:

"To put it this way, if the money is enough, it would be best for you to build an extra yard at the back. When the time comes and let your wife move to the back, it will be considered a difference between the inside and the outside. It's a pity, we are not that kind after all. It’s hard for a wealthy family to behave so decently, and the other one is in the village, it’s too different from other families, and it’s easy to separate.”

Well, this last sentence is actually the main reason why Grandpa Chun hurried over this time.Ever since he heard the news, he was worried. He was afraid that after his nephew's house got up, if he didn't pay attention, he would be separated from other people in the village. Is it in the city? some.

And his worry, Jiao Yufeng didn't know what to say?That's not true, otherwise, why would you think of building an elementary school in the village?This is not a kind of grace, not a means to unite the villagers.People, in fact, it is so complicated, and living is such a trouble.

"A few days ago, I also talked to Mrs. Shen about the children's study. The nearest elementary school here is also separated by two villages. It is really inconvenient. If you send the children to the city, there are so many jobs in this family. , I can't follow the situation, I can't bother my uncle and them anymore, so I thought, should I invite a child student to do it directly in our village?

study. "

Um?This is good, Grandpa Chun is also very excited this time, don't forget that he also has a grandson, this hearty one, he doesn't want his grandson to follow the path of his father and his second uncle in the future, he has long wanted to let the child Read some books, and later find a job that is out of the wind and rain.

Earlier, he had told his in-laws that he wanted the children to learn a few words with Jiao Yufeng, but no matter how dedicated Jiao Yufeng was, how could he be like a teacher in the school?So when he heard about the establishment of the school, Grandpa Chun immediately put all the previous matters behind him, and began to ask about Jiao Yufeng's plan.

"I did the math, and it's actually not that difficult. At the entrance of our village, there's a piece of gravel on the way out. Although it's not too big, it doesn't seem very cost-effective to build a homestead. There's no way to get a vegetable field, but if it's a school, it's worth it." It is just right. Uncle Chun, look, there are two big rooms built in the front for the children to study. In the back, three main rooms are built, with one wing room on each side, for the invited husband and his family to live in. The outside is surrounded by a wall, and the door is opened by the side of the school. In this way, even if the invited gentleman has a larger family, he can still live in it, and the money for the house will not be too much. What do you think? Like? It just so happens that my house is built together, and it might save some money.”

How about it?That's pretty good, the whole family's house has been prepared, and the conditions for hiring people will be ready immediately, no matter how old or young, I think that as long as the repairs are not bad, even if they are really out of the way here, they won't Mr. Mourn is willing to come.

"That's good, that's it. I'll think about the matter of inviting a gentleman. It's not a scholar, we don't pay that much attention. Like you said, a child is really enough. So, there is no need to go to the city." Please, there should be quite a few towns around here, just let my in-laws go and ask for help, he walks a lot on the streets and knows a lot of people, so it must be more convenient than us."

Jiao Yufeng didn't talk about the money for building the school from the beginning to the end. Thinking about what his cousin had done in the past, Grandpa Chun knew that it was probably because he was ready to pay for it all. The old guy who wants to send his children to study can't just look at him with a lick of his face, he has to pay a share no matter what.

After much deliberation, Grandpa Chun felt that he was better at recruiting people. Even if his in-laws failed, he still had a few contacts when he sold medicinal materials in previous years, and he could help if he thought about it.The most important thing is that if you invite it from a small place like this, the price will definitely be cheaper than the one in the city, and it will save some money for your cousin.So he expressed his position immediately.

"This is a good relationship. I was thinking that there is nothing wrong with Uncle. After all, he only came into contact with warriors. I wondered if I would ask someone in the yamen. Since Uncle Chun, you will take over. Well, then I'll save trouble."

What is the old man most afraid of?I am most afraid that children will think they are useless!Jiao Yufeng, who has been baptized by all kinds of information, is convinced of this, so when Grandpa Chun took the initiative to take the initiative, even if he wanted to find out the news from Mumu, looking for a poor scholar, he let it go now down.On the other hand, he continued to thank him, which made Grandpa Chun's face flushed and his spirits improved a lot.When waiting to go out, the waist seems to be a little straighter than before, and the steps are a little rhythmic.

What?About building a house?There's no time to think about this right now, Grandpa Chun is preoccupied with how to find Mr.Oh, by the way, and tell all the families in the village that this is about the school, and that their children have done such a great thing to accumulate virtue, so they should let the big guys know about it, right?At the very least, those who are willing to send their children to read and write have to see each other, otherwise wouldn't it be too much of a loss?

The people in the village really love each other very much. If it was in the past, or last year, if it was reading and literacy, maybe the people in the village were just envious, just eager and jealous, and didn't dare to think too much about what they had to do with themselves.But now?Now that each family has no worries about food and drink, then they need spiritual satisfaction next. What can make the people in the village more excited and satisfied than letting their children study?

After all, even when the common people are not doing well, they have a good dream at night, dreaming that the child will pass the imperial examination, and the whole family will grow a lot of hair, let alone now.The school is within reach, this really ignites the fire in everyone's heart, you say you don't see love?Anyway, after this day, Jiao Yufeng's family

The foundation of the house has not yet been laid, and there are only one batch at a time when they want to help, and most of them just say a few words before asking about the school.It can be seen that they have high expectations for their children to go to school.

With expectations, things will naturally become more agile, and the initiative will be more positive.Here, Grandpa Chun just released the news, asking someone to help find his wife, and the villagers here also started to mobilize the contacts in the surrounding villages, and then searched for someone like a searchlight.

With the joint efforts of so many people, it has only been half a month, and the school has not yet been built, and the candidate has already come out.

Speaking of which, this is really not a capable person, but he is just a young man who just passed the government examination last year and failed the provincial examination. He passed the exam successfully once and became a scholar, but who made his family unlucky? Didn't it just happen to be hit by a snowstorm?This is great, the house was not very good in the town, and one room collapsed immediately.It’s nothing if it’s a collapsed room. It’s not that the family of such a candidate who can afford to study has no wealth at all.But he didn't want to turn his head, his father got a cold again and was ill for a full month.

What's more, because of this illness, he has not been able to work in the accounting shop, so the owner had to hire someone else temporarily.It's fine if you hire someone else, but it happens that the one you hired is not clean. Just after the new year, he stole the deposit money from the store and ran away.

This is good, the owner of the shop got angry, and couldn't help venting his anger, thinking that it was the scholar's father who was unlucky, so he was also unlucky, so he resigned immediately.And spread the unlucky words.Now it's troublesome, the family relied on the scholar's father as a bookkeeper to barely support his studies and the family's expenses.Now that there is no such a job, and there is no one to hire in this town in a short time, the life of their family will naturally become a problem immediately.

Thinking about my father's illness, and thinking about the burden of life for this family, the scholar was wondering if he went to the market to help people fight against the bag and earn money. At this time, Jiao Yufeng and his village The news of asking someone to be a teacher came, how do you think the scholar will be chosen?No matter how bad it is, at least it is better than Kangbao. Even if the students may delay their studies, how much effort can a child who has just started?So he complied immediately.

Waiting to know that there is a yard to provide accommodation in this school, then the scholar will be even more happy, not to mention the other things, the gossip in this town is really ugly, and the neighbors next door are almost avoiding it. It was annoying to see them go.It is definitely a good choice to avoid it for a while now, at least it can let his father recuperate safely, right?

What's more, with such a residence, I can rent it out after the small courtyard of my family is repaired. Even if the house is not very decent and the rent is not very high, it can still make up for the family after all, so that his father can feel more at ease point.If the cost in that village is low, this bundle of repairs is enough, and the rent can be saved up to be used for the imperial examination in the future.

A thoughtful scholar, (oh, I forgot to mention, the scholar's surname is Lin, and he belongs to the same family as the daughter-in-law of the third grandpa's family in the village.) Lin Shusheng is quite fast, after confirming the time for handing over the house at the school , immediately turned on all the horsepower, and started to tidy up his own books. By the way, he also sent his parents, daughter-in-law, sister, and everything together to the village first. Yard, repair the house, find the middleman and so on.Those with high spirits are no longer as depressed as they were a while ago, and those who don't know think they have moved since then.

Perhaps it was also because of this that the neighbors who were familiar with and friendly with each other felt a little bit more guilty in their hearts. They always felt that they had a bad mouth, which forced such a family to give up even the house. escaped to the countryside.As soon as the guilt in my heart came up, everyone in turn extended a helping hand to Shusheng Lin, one helped repair the house, the other helped contact people in the middle, and so on.Shusheng Lin couldn't help but sigh with emotion. The old saying that far smells fragrant and near smelly, hey, it really makes sense.In this way, I feel a little more comfortable about going to the countryside.

The village here is in full swing, and it looks prosperous, but Jiao Yufeng over there doesn't know whether it's a lucky turn of events, or a coincidence, and something good happened again.

On this day, according to the usual procedure, he went to the yamen to send a wave of game and other things, exchanged some money, and turned to Hou Butou. Before he got to the place, he was stopped by Mu Mu, who dragged him to the back office of the Ministry of War.

"Why did you bring me here suddenly? Is it possible that the people in your military department also want to buy wild game? Not so much. As far as you are capable, if you make a random partner and walk around the city, you will have everything? This money?"

Although he entered many yamen, but this military department. . .For some reason, he always felt that this place was too evil, and he was not used to it.

"Who told you this? Don't think about it, just take you to meet someone."

"Meeting someone? Seeing someone? I don't know anyone here."

"Know someone? You are so beautiful. I will bring you to meet him. He is a lord, a capable man, and the head of the military department, Lord Qian."

"Master Qian, wait a minute, I seem to have heard you say that this person was transferred from the Criminal Department a while ago? The one who helped investigate the mine?"

"Yes, it's this one. Let me tell you, you are also lucky. Master Qian just told someone yesterday that the terrain of your village is good. If you camp nearby, you can restrain...what are you restraining? Hey Hey, I forgot about this, anyway, it meant to set up a camp near there. I thought at the time, if this is the case, then the big guy will help you talk, and if you make a way yourself, maybe you can get in There's someone in the barracks with an identity..."

Mu Muna was really kind. He always felt that Jiao Yufeng had helped with so many things, but he was always like sending a beggar. It was a little unreasonable to just give a few money. Now he suddenly got such news, I couldn't help but wondered in my heart, I want to help Jiao Yufeng, um, of course, if Jiao Yufeng is stuffed in, does it mean to plug in the ears by the way, it's hard to say, right?

However, when he came to Jiao Yufeng's place, his dedication did not come to fruition at all, and on the contrary, he gave him a big white eye.

"Wait, me? Mixed identity? Is this going to join the army? Oh, hey, Uncle Mu, if my uncle finds out about this, he can go straight to your house with a knife, don't you believe it? He doesn't want to I will eat this bowl of rice."

"What about this bowl of rice and that bowl of rice, this is an official! Are you confused? Serving as a soldier is the same as being an official? Besides, why can't you become a logistics officer? Your uncle doesn't want you Charged into the battle, died outside, with such a comfortable official position, he chased and killed me."

They are all warriors, and they speak very straightforwardly. He almost babbled out Jiao Da's small thoughts. Fortunately, Jiao Yufeng followed him, and he knew that he was pulling his sleeves to stop the words behind him, otherwise. . .Hehe, sending his nephew to get a military status won't make Jiao Da cut it, but it's enough to cheat people.

Mu Mu reacted very quickly. Of course, if he could be a spy, his slow reaction would have killed him, right? So when he noticed Jiao Yufeng's movements, Mu Mu himself lowered his voice, and looked around with his eyes very nimbly. People, then whispered:

"Anyway, since there is such an opportunity, you should try it first. It would be best if you succeed. Even if you are a low-level official, it can be regarded as an errand and an extra layer of protection. Even if it doesn't work, you can It left an impression on the higher-ups, and there may be opportunities in the future. Don’t forget, it came from the Ministry of Punishment, and now it’s only temporarily loaned to the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment is a permanent resident in the capital.”

When Mu Mu said this, Jiao Yufeng's heart moved a little. What kind of military status is not military? In fact, he just talked about it, just like what Mu Mu said, it is an official, so can it be the same as the soldiers below?If I can be an official myself, then my family. . .

With a heartbeat, Jiao Yufeng immediately began to think about the feasibility of this matter.As far as he thought, it was really possible to set up a military camp or something.First of all, there are quite a few soldiers in the Beijing camp. In order to ensure balance and not pose a threat to the palace when they rebel, they have always been stationed in different places and commanded by people.Under such circumstances, if one is stationed a little farther away to protect the mine by the way, the pass rate is not low.Otherwise, the wood wouldn't be so active, because it's obvious.

In addition, this channel has an identity. . .even though

He himself speaks lightly, and his achievements are not conspicuous, but with the Jia family standing there, it seems that even if Jiao Da stepped forward, he could get it done.So my own future seems to be quite promising.only. . .Ministry of punishment.With such a more stable and safe hook in front of him, Jiao Yufeng's heart suddenly became bigger.You said that if he mixed up with the criminal department's errand. . .Is it equivalent to the Capital Public Security Bureau, or the Criminal Investigation Detachment?Then this power, this grade. . .My mouth is watering just thinking about it.

Whoops, wait, there is another question, if you go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. . .Didn't they just start a house, and the family will move to the capital?Then how should the capital be arranged?He seems to be unable to support the current money to buy a house in the capital again. . .

Wait a minute, no, isn't he thinking a little too far at the moment?By the way, it seems that nothing has started yet.Right, right, first to see people, first to see what Mr. Qian has to say. . .

Jiao Yufeng, who regained his divine thinking that was about to fly to the sky, finally came back to his senses, wiped away the non-existent saliva, tidied up his clothes, with a bit of apprehension, hope, and caution, blinking brightly With his eyes, he followed Mu into the back office of the Ministry of War.

It’s not even possible to say that you don’t know the officials in the capital, huh, huh, for ordinary people, it’s a more real understanding to see that people have such troubles when they don’t go to the Yamen.Want to meet adults?You go through it slowly.It still belongs to the kind of level that each department has its own characteristics.

For example, now, there is a procedure for the Ministry of War to meet people. . .Come, come, let's fight first, and the level is talking. . .This habit really made Jiao Yufeng a little speechless.At the same time, it also let his budding ambition fall back to the ground.If he hadn't followed Jiao Daxue into martial arts, if his body hadn't been strengthened, he had good accuracy and great strength, this trip. . .He was still thinking about it, he probably couldn't even pass the first level.Returning to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Punishment are picking and picking, it is really a dream.

Jiao Yufeng, who had regained his arrogance, became more at ease, and the wood that led him at the front also became more at ease. He had seen more people, and naturally he could always see the changes in Jiao Yufeng's expression, knowing that this person was so serious when he heard it. A good thing, a little floating.

But so what?This is normal, okay? If you hear that some officials are not moved, then there is a problem, either a fool or a big plan.Besides, he is only responsible for giving the opportunity, as for whether the opportunity can be seized. . .Anyway, his favour, uncle and nephew of the Jiao family got it.

But now, seeing Jiao Yufeng adjust his position so quickly, stabilize his mentality, and let him take a higher look, he has a little confidence in Jiao Yufeng's future.This is a safe person, but also a smart person, helping him a little more sincerity.The icing on the cake or something, how can it be compared to sending charcoal in a timely manner?If he can really push him up, he may benefit from it.

The so-called human relationship, the so-called friendship, to put it bluntly, after all, is related to interests and exchange of interests. . .
