43, change military status and seek further study)
Did you pass the martial arts examination in Jinkedao?
Second-class martial arts scholar?
After these simple words fell into the ears of the owner of Li House, Li Yaozu, his wife, and Li Xingye subconsciously held their breath...
Wu Xiucai was different from Wen Xiucai in that he could serve in local areas and become local military attachés.
Even if this is just a small official.
But that’s also an official!
There is a huge difference in status between the Li family and their family.
Li Yaozu and his wife did not expect that when Li Xingye insulted and forced Wei Tu so much, Wei Tu still remained calm and did not tell anyone about his success in the martial arts examination.
"How could he pass the exam?" Li Xingye was angry and resentful.
The resentment he had just vented was now accumulating in his chest again, and it was getting worse.
Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years.
in the end,
He can't compare to Wei Tu, a domestic slave who has been practicing martial arts for several years.
How could he let go of this matter so easily?
"After achieving success, he is neither arrogant nor impatient. When faced with insults, his face remains calm..."
"This person……"
Li Yaozu shook his head.
He made up his mind to severely discipline Li Xingye in the future and not to offend Wei Tu any more, otherwise the "favor" would be exhausted sooner or later.
By then, it is difficult to predict what will happen to the Li family.
…
After walking out of the Li family's inner house.
Wei Tu waited for Xinghua and Caixia outside the house for a while. After the two girls packed their luggage, he took them out of Li's house.
"This time, thank you Brother Wei for helping me stand up. Otherwise..." On the way, Caixia found an opportunity and thanked Wei Tu.
Going against his former "benefactor".
This is also a big pressure for Wei Tu.
Caixia understands this.
"Help each other, you helped me once too." Wei Tu smiled and replied.
Reputation is something he needs to consider, but if he sees Caixia being bullied and just sits back and does nothing, he will not be able to get over it.
Secondly.
He had already contradicted Magistrate He.
Li Yaozu is not worthy of his fear.
Hearing this, Caixia put aside her worries, hugged the package, and silently followed Wei Tu and his wife.
The three of them came to a nearby inn.
Two rooms were opened.
In the evening, Xinghua asked Caixia about her future plans, "You, like Brother Wei, were unable to make a living at home and were forced to be sold to Li's house. Now you are free and can return home."
In times of famine, one sells one's sons and daughters in order to survive, and in times of peace, one sells one's sons and daughters for money. This is naturally different.
For example, Xinghua herself was sold to the Li family because her family wanted money.
Therefore, after Xinghua entered the Li family, she gradually cut off contact with her natal family.
"However, today is different from the past. Your father has a son and your family is poor. When you return home, not only can you not keep the three taels of silver... but you may also be sold yourself again..."
Xinghua analyzed.
These maids who were sold into wealthy families were no more realistic than the young ladies from rich families who were raised in boudoirs. They were often very realistic in terms of money.
If Wei Tu had not proven himself back then, Xinghua would not have given her private money to Wei Tu and let him waste it in vain.
"Sister Xinghua, I plan to follow you first... After Brother Wei takes office as an official, he should be able to meet a few good men. By then I want to get married and start a family..."
Caixia thought about it for a while, and then expressed her plan based on her situation.
"You are kind to me and I am willing to stay by my side. It just so happens that you can be my companion." Xinghua nodded and agreed.
Unmarried women cannot form a household alone.
After the maid who has redeemed her deed becomes a citizen, she has no other choice but to return to her place of origin again.
At this moment, Caixia's intention was to follow the couple and place her nationality under the Wei Tu household.
…
The next day.
Wei Tu brought his two daughters, Xinghua and Caixia, to the county government office and handed over the two daughters' deeds and letters of certification to the household officials.
"It's strange." When the official in the household saw this, he was amazed. He took out the "Registration Book", added the names of the two girls, and wrote it under the word "Wei Tu".
He had been an official in the county government office for so long, and Wei Tu was the first slave to be redeemed. The two maids redeemed today are still related to him... This was a rare thing he encountered.
"I wonder if the ultimatum issued by the government to the Jinkewu scholar has reached the county government?" After the two girls changed their registrations, Wei Tu did not leave in a hurry. He bowed his hand to the official and asked.
"Wu Xiucai's ultimatum?"
Hearing this, Zaoli was surprised for a moment. He glanced at Wei Tu and asked, "Did you pass the exam today?"
He knew that Wei Tu won the title of Military Leader in the county martial arts examination.
But he is also one of the few people in the county government who knows that Wei Tu, the military leader, has some connections.
Therefore, he was not optimistic about Wei Tu's success in the Jinke Taoist Examination.
The road test is more difficult than the county test.
"bingo."
Wei Tu nodded in response.
"Brother Wei, then you and I will be colleagues from now on..." Hearing this, Zaoli immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet Wei Tu.
The attitude is completely opposite to that just now.
No longer cold.
At the same time, he also introduced himself to Wei Tu.
"My name is Jian Liang. My family has been a subordinate for generations and I work in the household."
"Brother Jian." Wei Tu bowed his hands to Jian Liang as a courtesy.
He did not introduce himself to Jian Liang.
Jian Liang worked as an official in Hufang, Qingshan County, and knew his identity and family wealth better than he did.
"Wu Xiucai's ultimatum was issued by the government office two days ago."
"I will change your nationality to military status..." Jian Liang said proactively.
He knew what Wei Tu meant when he mentioned "Wu Xiucai's ultimatum" just now. This ultimatum was a certificate for Wu Xiucai to prove his identity.
Generally, they are kept by the county government.
"Thank you so much, Brother Jian."
After Jian Liang finished changing his registration, Wei Tu thanked him, and then walked out of the door of the house with Xing Hua and Caixia.
but.
He just took a few steps.
Then he saw Wei Fei walking towards him from Jieshifang.
Wei Tu guessed that Wei Fei also came to the household to ask Jian Liang to change his registration.
After they, the martial arts scholars, have completed their registration changes, they can wait with peace of mind for their appointment to military posts by the county government.
Therefore, this should be done sooner rather than later.
"Second brother."
"Third brother."
The two greeted each other.
"This is my wife, and one of my sisters." Wei Tu introduced Xinghua and Caixia to Wei Fei.
"Sister-in-law, sister Caixia." Wei Fei said the greeting a little cautiously. When he saw Xinghua and Caixia, he mistakenly thought that they were Wei Tu's maids.
Unexpectedly, one of them was Wei Tu's wife.
But after being surprised, Wei Fei secretly admired Wei Tu again. After becoming famous, he still didn't forget to spoil his wife. His third brother was rare in the world.
"I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything good with me. I'll make up for the meeting gifts for my younger siblings and Caixia the next day."
Wei Fei said with a smile.
After saying this, Wei Tu and Wei Fei said goodbye. Wei Tu left the county government office with his two daughters and went to Yaxing to find a new home.
Under the leadership of Yaren, Wei Tu quickly selected a small courtyard and spent more than five taels of silver to buy it.
"I'll borrow your money and I'll pay you back after a while when the military attaché's salary is paid..."
Wei Tu assured Caixia.
Because he was short of money and didn't have much money left on him, more than half of the five taels of silver came from Caixia.
Caixia lowered her head and said "hmm" and did not refuse. After all, the money was almost her entire net worth.
"I just don't know when the appointment of this county government will come. I hope I won't be suppressed by Magistrate He, targeting..."
Wei Tu was secretly anxious.
…
Time passes slowly.
Wei Tu did not wait for the appointment certificate from the county government, but instead received a letter from Fu Zhizhou.
In the letter, Fu Zhizhou mentioned that when he first left Qingfeng Mansion, the elders of Wuyun Tower came to him and wanted to invite him to join Wuyun Tower, but he flatly refused.
At the end of the letter - Fu Zhizhou warned Wei Tu to resist the temptation and not to join Wuyun Tower just because of the benefits promised.
