Chapter 72 There is a way for fish and there is a way for shrimp.
There is another power group, that is, the civil servant faction led by the three scholarly families.
The three families are: the Chu family of the Duke of Chu, the Kou family of the Duke of Lai, and the Wang family of the Duke of Jing.
Although they are both third-class princes, their families have many children. In addition to their rich cultural background and numerous disciples serving as officials in the court, they are also married to each other. Their relationship is intricate and affects the whole body...
Dazhu and Erwang felt like a new world had opened up after listening to their husband's explanation.
In their perception, being admitted as a scholar and having their family land rent-free means they are proud of their ancestors.
Just like their third uncle, who was admitted as a scholar and went to worship at the ancestral tomb, it felt like the smoke from the ancestral tomb was rising straight into the sky.
But I didn’t expect that what is a scholar? At best, he is just a trace of mud on the bottom of the sea, not even a small shrimp.
The larger official world is like a vast ocean. The two of them looked at each other, and now they didn't even have the right to look at the ocean and sigh.
Erwang suddenly said: "Brother, I don't think I'm good at reading. I can't remember the things we learned together."
He's also very hardworking, okay? But he's just a little bit behind.
For example, the eldest brother has learned to draw inferences from one case to another, but he is not good at it. He can only understand that one thing.
"How about I learn martial arts, so that I can still be a soldier under Brother Yan. Maybe after a few years of work, I can build a household with hundreds of households."
Dazhu shook his head and said: "You can pull him down. What's the point of your three-legged cat skills? Soldiers are going to fight. My father is gone. I can't let you get in again."
Glancing at the droopy second brother, Dazhu continued: "You study for two years first. If you can't do it, just take care of the business at home. I will do the official work."
Erwang: "What business? Making vermicelli? Doesn't that have my father?"
Dazhu glanced at him sideways: "Didn't the eldest sister discuss opening a shop with Xiaomian? My mother also said that she wanted to buy a shop or something. Doesn't someone have to take care of this? How can the second uncle do it alone?"
Erwang was stunned, is he really opening a shop in the capital?
Dazhu said: "In the future, as many shops as we can have in our family and as many shops as we can buy, we cannot rely on my mother and eldest sisters. We are the backbone of the family. It depends on you."
Erwang was immediately burdened with a heavy burden, and he said responsibly, "Well, big brother, don't worry about taking the exam and becoming an official. You can teach me about family matters."
Sanshun asked like a spirit: "What about me?"
The two brothers glanced at the little guy and said in unison: "You are the third young master of our Li family. You are the kind of playboy."
"Ah? I can also be a young master? Hahahahaha" Sanshun laughed and made a pig sound.
As if he was proud to be a dandy.
The three brothers determined their respective positions in minutes.
The three Dazhu brothers have their own goals, and the Li Xiangyuan brother and sister in Fucheng are also preparing for their goals.
He was supposed to go to Beijing at the beginning of spring, but he didn't expect that Li Xiangxuan went to a cocktail party and made himself ill.
Sitting in front of the hospital bed, Li Xiangyuan spoke softly and seductively.
"Third brother, your body is too weak. You should learn some boxing and kicking skills when you have time. At least you can strengthen your body."
He was weak. He drank too much wine and blew in the cold wind, deliberately making himself sick.
He didn't want to go to the capital, but his parents obeyed his sister's advice, and her sister looked like she was completely considerate of him.
He had no choice but to make himself sick.
He was originally a scholar. After studying hard at Fucheng Academy for three years, he was able to go to Beijing to take the exam.
But what if his sister got him a preparatory class for the Imperial College?
Of course he is willing to go to the Imperial College, but to go to the preparatory class?
He has read the Four Books, Five Classics and hundreds of schools of thought so well that he can become auspicious. What is the point of repeating the study for two years?
The most important thing for him now is policy analysis. If he wants to make good policy analysis, he must study a large number of military books, agricultural books, laws, political commentaries, etc., in order to be able to speak meaningfully when making policy analysis.
With so much to learn, how can I have time to review the past and learn the new?
This little sister doesn't understand anything. Ever since she recovered from her illness, she has always been gesticulating and wanting to be the master of the family.
You can be the master of the family. Anyway, your parents will obey your words now.
But you shouldn't make fun of my future?
Li Xiangjin was admitted as a scholar, so he was certainly not stupid.
He found that although this sister had changed, she spoke softly and sweetly, and her smiles and frowns were all elegant, but the selfishness in her bones was better than before.
Every time you treat someone well, even if you are facing your parents or brothers, you always have a purpose.
It's as if this person has a conspiracy in his heart.
He knew that his sister wanted to go to the capital as soon as possible. There were many noble people in the capital, and she wanted to catch a rich husband.
But, is it possible to wait another two years?
Li Xiangyuan is self-aware and has his own considerations.
Now I go to the capital and take a preparatory class at the age of twenty. It wastes time and makes people laugh.
If you stay in Fucheng, you can find a good wife's house.
At least there is enough money for him to have a smooth career.
Even if he doesn't marry a wife, when he gets Jinshi in high school in three years, he might be able to meet a man who wants to seize his son-in-law.
Then he can use the strength to save a few years of hard work.
Now that you have status, it won't be difficult to find a good in-law for your sister, right?
Li Xiangjin thinks long-term, and Li Xiangyuan also thinks long-term.
It's just that Li Xiangyuan has greater ambitions. She is not Li Xiangyuan. Being a seventh-grade county magistrate is the ultimate goal. What she wants is the highest person in the capital.
Of course not the emperor.
With her mortal body, there was nothing she could do about the Emperor even if she wanted to.
However, a woman who is not an emperor, but can be an emperor, isn’t it?
With her noble mind, she could at least become a concubine.
The plan is ready, she will take charge of Feng Yin and her mother will honor the world. This is her ultimate goal!
The brother and sister fought overtly and secretly, and finally each took a step back. Li Xiangyuan did not go to the preparatory class of the Imperial College, but paid a high price to attend the famous Xishan Academy in the capital.
As for the high price, thanks to Li Xiangyuan's turnover, Ma Yuanwai, Ma Fugui, the prefect's son, the Zhao sisters, and even Zhao's natal family who could not return, all raised a lot of money.
The sudden change from a well-to-do family to a wealthy family made Old Man Li a little confused.
My daughter only visited a few houses and was able to get away with nothing. He spent so many years digging for food in the fields and didn't care about the family fortune he earned through hard work.
After living half his life, Old Man Li almost doubted his life.
Finally, Laozhai's family of four, together with two maids and two nurses, started to go to Beijing.
Qi Wangfu.
Zhao Qifan lay weakly on the bed. He farted for two days in a row, and the toxins were finally eliminated.
When I finally fell asleep, I fell into a nightmare again.
On a fairy mountain surrounded by fairy spirit, a fairy in fluttering white clothes and a fiery red unicorn beast were chasing each other in the mountain forest.
The girl has a graceful figure and a charming and cute appearance.
"Damn rhubarb, if you dare to eat it secretly again, I will pluck out all your red hair."
"prosperous"
The ferocious-breasted Qilin Beast barked and then uttered an elegant male voice: "You stingy cotton socks stingy guy, do you think I'm stealing food? I eat openly."
The girl was furious when she suddenly raised her head and smiled at herself: "Big brother, it bullied me."
Zhao Qifan subconsciously went to catch Fire Qilin, but suddenly woke up.
His heart was pounding incessantly, and he couldn't help but touch his heart again.
The cold texture of the nine-link chain made him realize that he was awake now.
But the nightmare just now was so real.
In reality, he seemed to have caught a furry unicorn beast.
Zhao Qifan closed his eyes and thought about the girl's appearance, but found that it became increasingly blurry. He anxiously wanted to remember her appearance, but a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind. They were the eyes of a girl, and they were...
Zhao Qifan opened his eyes suddenly. Why did he see the little girl who turned around again?
"Shadow" Zhao Qifan called softly.
Immediately, a man in black appeared in the room.
"Check out Junior Sister Lieyan's family. Everyone."
