In the Song Dynasty, there was a custom of marrying with fingertips and betrothal. Well-matched families always liked to use this seemingly romantic method to decide the marriage of their children more than ten years later. Shengtang.com
Chen Ke sneered at this. Just imagine that more than ten years later, if the other party's baby grows up to be a rogue, or has a serious disease, or the family is poor and cold, or has been mourned one after another, or has moved far away, wouldn't this be a disaster for his own children?
This is indeed the case. In the states and counties of the Great Song Dynasty, there were definitely many people who had arranged marriage early in the year, but later became dissatisfied with their in-laws, so they broke the promise, turned against each other, and even went to the government... Of course, this is also the same as the Song Dynasty's treatment of divorce.
The attitude is very tolerant. Since the couple can get together and have a good time together, it is not such a shameful thing to step back from the brink before the rice is cooked.
However, the social atmosphere's tolerance of divorced marriages cannot reduce the pain of families whose marriages have been divorced, because they are often regarded as despised losers, which is a serious blow to their reputation.

When Jing Erlang said this, Chen Ke remembered: "But that guy who came to our house last month, who was arrogant and pointed his nose at people?"
"Exactly." Chen Chen nodded and said, "Uncle Ma used to be very kind, but last time he saw our family was in such a state of desolation with bare walls and no shelter from the rain, he couldn't even smile at all, and his father didn't go to take the exam.
, he left without even eating."
"Obviously he dislikes us." Seeing that he had not stabbed his father, Chen Ke was heartbroken and said with a smile: "It's understandable that my daughter is my father's favorite, so of course I can't push her into the fire pit."
"You can think about it." Chen Chen sighed and said, "But this incident hit dad too hard. I guess he must have been touched just now when he saw the new house."
"Yeah." Chen Ke nodded and said carelessly: "As a man, only if you know your shame and then be brave can you become a great person!"
"You are quite generous. (7*" Chen Chen glared at him and said, "What do you think about breaking off the engagement?"
"This is our family's luck. There will be a day when they regret it." Chen Ke said with a cold smile: "I am not a hard-boiled duck, but I am stating a fact."
"Yes, such a family that despises the poor and loves the rich will definitely not be able to raise a virtuous daughter!" Chen Chen was infected by his third brother's boldness and nodded heavily: "And our Chen family will not always be in a state of decline. There will always be times.
A day of great success!"
"Well said!" Chen Ke stretched out his fist and said: "If we don't steam the steamed buns to win the reputation, we have to work hard!" After studying the exegesis, he realized that the word "powerful" is actually an ancient saying, which was first seen in "Book of Wei".
"Well, you have to work hard!" Chen Chen nodded heavily and reached out to hold his fist hard.
"..." Wulang didn't say a word, but also firmly grasped the fists of his two brothers.
"I want it too, I want it too..." Liulang stood on the chair and hung his body on his brothers' arms.
At the door of the house, fearing that the children would be worried, Chen Xiliang had turned back. Hearing what the children said, he smiled, not a forced smile, but a smile from the bottom of his heart. He took back his steps and turned around again, not wanting to let the children go out.
The sons saw tears in their own eyes.
If you have a son like this, what else can you ask for?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From that day on, the Chen family's father and son were really different. The four brothers became a lot more self-conscious in their studies. Even Wulang and Liulang, the youngest, did not need supervision. Not to mention that they were already very studious.
Erlang and Sanlang.
Chen Xiliang no longer gave up easily. He picked up books again. No matter how busy or tired he was every day, he would stay up late at night and read until the early hours of the morning before falling asleep. Of course, he was able to make a living while still having the energy to study because
In the process of working for the government, his extraordinary ability and diligent attitude were deeply appreciated by the county officials. After the summer grain collection was completed, he was invited to work as an aide in the county government. The latest chapter of Shengtang.com
In the Song Dynasty, the court generally set up four to five people-friendly officials such as magistrates, county magistrates, chief registrars, and county lieutenants in large counties, while small counties only had one or two officials. However, in a county, the collection of wealth, prison trials, and public security
Civilization, disaster relief, etc. are complex affairs that are far beyond the capabilities of third- and fifth-level administrative officials.
For example, in Qingshen County, apart from the county magistrate, there was only one official who was the chief registrar, so it naturally required the assistance of a large number of subordinate staff to complete the various tasks assigned by the imperial court.
The subordinate officials in the Song Dynasty were divided into those who assisted in specific government affairs, such as custodians, hand divisions, recorders, etc., who were called officials; and those who were driven by officials, such as jailers, Yamen servants, city patrols, etc., were called Gongren. According to the reign of Taizu
According to the regulations of Qingshen County, the household level of Qingshen County can have fifteen officials and thirty public servants, and their salaries will be paid by the court.
However, in addition to the regular quota, local officials will also recruit some non-staff officials according to needs. Among them, those who are responsible for accounting affairs are called "posters". The status of these officials is lower than that of "officials", and the state does not pay them wages.
, but are raised by the local government themselves. However, if there is a vacancy for "officials", they can be promoted to "officials" in order and become official state employees.
In the county town, it was not easy to find a scholar who could write and do calculations. After the county magistrate discovered that Chen Xiliang was a rare talent, he invited him to serve as an assistant in the government and promised that if there was a vacancy in officials, he would be given priority to fill them.
Chen Xiliang would naturally seriously consider Daling's invitation. Apart from being very busy at the beginning and end of the month, this job was quite free at ordinary times, and he could also have time to study. But what made him undecided was that he could only do so every month.
With an income of three thousand dollars, of course... the government has always taken care of food, housing and clothing.
Three thousand dollars a month was less than half of what he had to do at the dock. It was a time when his family was spending money and they could not make ends meet. Just when he was hesitant, Cai Chuanfu's arrival dispelled his worries.
That day was the second day of August. He was not at home when Chuanfu came, but it was not him who Chuanfu was looking for, but his family's Saburo...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Autumn begins in August, when the heat subsides and the west wind begins.
Both Chen Ke and Liulang had already put on their jackets, but Heiwulang was the only one with the strongest firepower. He was still shirtless, sweating profusely in the yard, and lifting a pair of twenty-jin stone locks with a huff and a puff.
When he heard the doorbell being called, he threw the stone lock on the ground, opened the door and saw that it was Chuanfu who had not been here for some days.
Although he is considered a successful man, Chuanfu still said with a simple smile: "Uncle, is my master here?"
Wulang nodded, took the big and small bags in his hand, took Chuanfu to the door of the east room, and said in a loud voice: "Third brother, Brother Chuanfu is here."
"Well, let's go and sit in the north room first." Chen Ke's voice came from inside. During his breaks, as long as he wasn't exercising in the yard, he would hide in this room and tinker. Even Chuanfu knew that the east room was now reserved for Saburo and idlers.
He was not allowed to enter, so he waited outside.
After a while, the door opened, and Sanlang came out carrying two jars. When he saw Chuanfu, he grinned and said, "Why are you free to come here today?"
"The restaurant has settled the bill and here comes the master's interest." Chuanfu said with a grin.
"Time flies so fast. It's been a month since we opened in the blink of an eye." Chen Ke handed the wine jar to Chuan Fudao: "Come in and sit down. I'll wash my hands and come right away."
After a while, the master and the apprentice sat down at the table. Chuanfu noticed the inside and outside of the house and said in surprise: "Master, when did the house look new inside and out?"
"I changed it a few days ago..." Chen Ke opened a jar of orange wine and poured it for Chuanfu. It wasn't that he replaced it with wine because there was no tea at home, but it was because he had no love for the way of drinking tea in the Song Dynasty... He once
Chen Xi watched tea with curiosity and found that people in the Song Dynasty brewed tea into porridge and noodles, and considered it to be "cold porridge and noodles". When I tasted it, I could barely taste the fragrance of the tea, and my mouth was full.
They all smelled of fragrant spices. It suddenly reminded him of the way Westerners drink tea. It seems that the foreigners did not create their own, but copied the current tea-drinking habits. The Song Dynasty really misled people...
In fact, he didn't know that the tea cake Chen Xiliang used to make tea that time was half a piece of high-quality goods given by the county magistrate. Common people couldn't afford to add spices to their tea, but it was no different from the tea of later generations. It was just a misunderstanding.
, which caused him not to drink tea for several years, until he met the girl who really understood tea.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hearing that it was Carpenter Pan who replaced the new ones for the Chen family, Chuanfu said with a depressed look on his face: "Oh, I expected to make some money when we came to replace the new ones for the master's family, but I didn't expect that that guy would beat us to it."
"It's okay, you can just discount it." Chen Ke took a sip of orange wine and said slowly.
"Pfft..." Chuanfu almost spat out the wine in his mouth and said with a wry smile: "Master, you are teasing me again."
"Don't waste my wine. It took a lot of effort to brew it." Chen Ke took another sip and said with an intoxicated look on his face: "It's good, it's not as raw as the last time I drank it."
"Well, it tastes really good. The master has really made orange wine." Chuanfu said with admiration: "It's really awesome!" If you stay with Chen Ke for a long time, you will naturally learn his weird vocabulary.
"Stop flattering me." Even so, Chen Ke couldn't hide his complacency and said, "Tell me, how much did you earn last month?"
"What do you think?" Chuanfu blinked.
"Hey, do this with me." Chen Ke asked: "Twenty strings?"
"Guess again." Chuanfu chuckled and said, "Guess further."
"Thirty dollars?" Chen Ke really didn't know much about the restaurant's business. He only went there in the first few days, and since then he has been studying at home and being a stay-at-home guy.
"Too few!" Chuan Fu said: "Add one more."
"Forty strings?"
"No, it's one hundred and thirty thousand!" Chuanfu finally couldn't help it, stretched out ten stubby fingers, and said loudly: "Master, we made 130,000 yuan last month! It's a net profit.
!”
"Holy shit, this is so awesome!" Chen Ke said dizzy, "Wait a minute, wait a minute, I need to calm down."
