Chapter 110: Sick Dad 21
The disciple he wanted has already worshiped the master, Hu Juren was very upset, and he couldn't do the thing of overpowering others to **** his apprentice, but he was very dissatisfied with Han Ze, a scholar really shouldn't accept such a talent as Yan Hong As long as Tong Tong's students are apprentices, a Jinshi seedling will be folded in his hands. One day when he meets that county school student named Han Ze, he must ask him why he misunderstood his disciples.
However, before he could get over the regret of missing a good student, the county government received a good news from Yangcheng. This time, two students from Tongyang County won the provincial examination. One of them was Han Ze, and he was the third in the provincial examination. .
Hearing this news, he silently inquired about Han Ze's news from his classmate in the county school who was his teacher. After inquiring, he realized that the reason why he had never heard of Han Ze was not because Han Ze had no ink in his stomach, but because he He has only been in school for a year, and keeps a low profile. He has never gone out to participate in the literary fair organized by the students of the county school.
He was full of shame, thinking that he wanted to meet Han Ze to question him a few days ago, he was even more ashamed. Fortunately, his classmates didn't know what was on his mind, otherwise, wouldn't the embarrassment be thrown in front of the classmates, but it also aroused curiosity I want to see what kind of person this Han Ze is.
Han Ze was on his way back from Yangcheng at this time. He didn't have clairvoyance, so it was impossible for him to know that someone was going to rob him of his apprentice, and it was even more impossible for him to know that the person was going to ask him to question him. I became curious about him, even if I knew it, I would just laugh it off.
In Xiaohan Village, the Han family also received the good news from Han Zezhongju. Everyone in the village was overjoyed, and even Li Zheng went to the Han family to congratulate him.
Han Ze actually won the exam. For so many years, not to mention anyone in the village, there are only two Tongsheng, Han Ze is the only scholar, and there is no Juren for decades. How rare for them farmers, the Han family was once again surrounded.
In fact, compared to Han Zezhong's scholar, Mrs. Han is not so surprised. It's not that she is not happy about her son Zhongju, but that Han Zezhong's body was just right when he was a scholar. Han Ze's ability to be a scholar is the starting point for changing his destiny. Now Han Zezhongju, for her It's just icing on the cake, not to mention that in the old woman's mind, her son is well-educated, shouldn't Zhongju be taken for granted? What's so strange.
Of course, Mr. Wang also received the news that the second son-in-law won the third place and the eldest son-in-law failed the ranking. He stood up abruptly, squinted his cloudy old eyes, and told Wang Dalang repeatedly: "Prepare two hundred taels of silver, and I will go there personally." Congratulations from my family."
Wang Dalang yelled in embarrassment: "Father..."
Two hundred taels of silver was not a small amount considering their family's wealth, and he was reluctant to give it all to Han Ze.
Mr. Wang stared with thick eyebrows: "It's so stupid, it's fine if Han Ze didn't win the Juren. Now that he has won the Juren, you are still so hesitant, how can I trust you with this family?"
Wang Dalang hung his head and did not argue. If he gave one tael of silver, he would lose one tael, even if he wanted to please Han Ze, there was no need to give two hundred taels.
Mr. Wang shook his head and accused angrily: "Stupid, you haven't seen it until now?"
Wang Dalang looked at Mr. Wang blankly, of course he knew the benefits of Han Zezhongju to their family, but Han Ze is the son-in-law of their Wang family, this is an unchangeable fact, even if you want to congratulate him, there is no need to rush That's two hundred taels for one take.
Mr. Wang looked at him, full of disappointment. Why did he have such a son? After he was disappointed, he still had to explain to him carefully: "Han Ze recovered from his body, and it took him a year to become a scholar; he entered the county school. But one year later, he won the Juren again, and he was still the third. This is no longer because of his good luck. Jinshi, conferred an official. There is a son-in-law who is an official, not to mention the mayor, even the county magistrate will have a high regard for our family, and then our family's cloth business may be able to open to the county."
Wang Dalang said: "You are Han Ze's father-in-law. Even if he becomes an official, he can't deny you. Besides, if Han Ze can win the examination, he may not be able to win the Jinshi examination."
Mr. Wang blew his beard and stared at his eyes angrily: "You can do what I tell you to do. You are stupid, but you still have to pretend to be smart. There is no cure."
Wang Dalang was not convinced, Wang Erlang hurriedly said: "Brother, judging from the events of the past two years, with Han Ze's personality, either he will not go to Beijing to catch the exam, but once he goes to Beijing to take the exam, he will definitely pass. At that time, even if Dad It's Han Ze's father-in-law, it's too late to get close to him."
In fact, what he didn't say was that it was too late now. Who would have thought that Han Ze could still climb up, even so high, but fortunately, it was not too late.
Mr. Wang nodded in satisfaction, and said directly: "Erlang will follow me to Xiaohan Village later, and Dalang will stay at home and look after the shop."
Even if Wang Dalang was not reconciled, he could only obey orders. Mr. Wang thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Prepare some cloth materials. Jinxiu Jinye is old enough to go to school. As grandfathers and grandmothers, it's time to add some clothes to the children."
Give them a gift in their name, and they can't refuse.
...
After traveling for several days and nights, Han Ze and his group finally arrived at the county seat. The news of this year's rural examination success spread throughout the schools in the county seat. They were all excited about the news.
Master Shen in the private school knew that Han Ze was Han Jinye's father and Yan Hong's master. When he went to the school again, he saw that they were much warmer than usual, and their eyes were much gentler.
After returning to the rented yard in the county seat, after a good rest, Han Ze began to test a few children. After the test, Yan Hong glanced at Han Jinye and said expressionlessly, "Master, Junior Brother Jinye doubts my character."
Han Ze looked at Han Jinye, Han Jinye stared at him with small eyes, Yan Hong was mean and shameless, and even sued.
Yan Hong looked at his nose and heart with his eyes.
Han Ze narrowed his eyes slightly, Han Jinye immediately restrained his gaze, stood upright, and defended himself: "Father, Yan Hong is talking nonsense."
Han Ze said lightly: "Clarify the whole story clearly, and I will tell if there is nonsense."
Yan Hong said slowly: "Master Shen's classmates in the school are planning to accept me as an apprentice, but Junior Brother Jinye slandered me for betraying my master and asking someone else to be my apprentice."
What a despicable Yan Hong.
Han Jinye was so angry that he said, "The day Hu Juren came to the school, you competed to perform in front of him. Didn't you want to worship him as a teacher?"
Yan Hong explained: "Hu Juren tested our knowledge, since I can answer them all, I will naturally answer them one by one."
Han Jinye snorted, after all, you were right for not agreeing to apprenticeship.
Han Ze looked at Yan Hong with satisfaction: "You are right, since you know how to do it, there is no need to hide it."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Han Jinye and said in a stern tone, "Nothing can be taken out of context. You have wronged Yan Hong in this matter, and I will punish you for writing five hundred large characters."
Han Jinye's face paled, five hundred big characters, can he still have it with his hand?
Yan Hong said from the side: "This incident happened because of me. Junior brother Jin Ye and I are brothers, we should have the same blessings and share the difficulties. I will also punish myself with five hundred big characters."
Han Jinye: "..."
I am rare! Let you be the good guy and the bad guy. If you are so capable, why don't you go to heaven.
When Han Ze went out, Han Jinxiu asked Yan Hong: "It's not like you to complain to Dad. Why did you do this?"
Yan Hong glanced at him: "If someone wants to rob Master's apprentice, he should tell Master."
Han Jinxiu: "..."
The way you tell Dad about your feelings is to sue, and you are not afraid of offending Jin Ye badly and finding fault with you.
Yan Hong seemed to see her thoughts, and said: "I will be punished with him, he should calm down."
The corners of Han Jinxiu's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
The corners of Yan Hong's mouth raised slightly. To him, five hundred large characters were just an ordinary exercise, but to his junior, it was a great punishment.
Han Jinxiu laughed and said, "You're not afraid of Daddy hitting him."
Yan Hong affirmed: "Master won't."
Han Jinxiu admitted that his father would not hit them hard, Yan Hong understood it, and she said: "Jin Ye should also understand that if anything is wrong, it is wrong, and if he is wrong, he will be punished, let him learn a lesson, In case he speaks nonsense next time, our own family is fine, if we go outside, we can speak quickly and say whatever we want, wouldn't it be offensive."
Yan Hong's heart warmed when he heard the words "our own family". Does Han Jinxiu consider him a family member?
"That's what I mean too," he said with a smile.
Jin Ye has an impulsive temper, he is one of his own, and he will never resent Jin Ye, so it is difficult for others to say.
After returning to the county seat and visiting the gentleman in the county school, Han Ze planned to go home. Han Jinye, Yan Hong, and Han Xuewen also asked for leave from the school and went home with them.
After going to the county town after the year, Han Ze never went back to his hometown in order to study. Now it is September, Mrs. Han has not seen her eldest son for a long time, and when she sees him again, he is a master. I won't lose my hand.
The family house is still the old thatched house, the quilts are new, and the house has been tidied up, even so, it is desolate.
Han Ze glanced at the dilapidated courtyard and sighed. In the past two years, he only focused on studying and taking the exams, and all the money he earned was spent on paper, pens, books, and exams. He never thought of renovating his house. Fan, but there is no rush for this matter. I will try it again next year, and I will need a lot of money. The repair of the house can only be postponed temporarily.
Han Youtian saw his son's thoughts, and thought of one thing: "A few days ago, the good news of your winning came. The Wang family sent two hundred taels of silver. At first, I didn't want to accept it. Old man Wang said it was for the Wang family. Dowry, I can't say much about it."
If a father wants to make up for his daughter's dowry, what can he say as a father-in-law?
Han Ze smiled meaningfully: "Just accept it."
Han Youtian looked at him in surprise, and asked, "I remember you didn't ask for their money when you were a scholar?"
Han Ze picked up his teacup and said softly: "At this time and at that time, even if we don't want their family's money, wouldn't the Wang family benefit from my son-in-law's success?"
Juren and a scholar have different weights, as long as Mr. Wang goes out and tells others that his son-in-law is Han Ze, who is a Juren, those who do business with him will lean towards him, and the benefits they get are immeasurable. , Why is he so arrogant and arrogant that he doesn't want their money.
When Han Youtian thought about it carefully, it was the same thing.
Han Ze hurriedly said: "Father can inquire from the side, is the business of the Wang family these days more prosperous than before?"
Han Youtian: "..."
Brat, after all, it's your father-in-law.
