Chapter 48
"Ah? Who? Why haven't I heard of it before? What kind of official are you?" Wang Xiuxiu was surprised when she heard this. It can be described as a local hegemony. But after all, they are all ordinary people. Although they can deal with people from the government, there are barriers that cannot be crossed.
It's not that the grandfather's family has never thought about cultivating a few scholars, hoping that they can get fame. But this matter is not so easy, the Cao family is good at martial arts, most people have a headache when they read the book. Although there are a few bright ones, they have no connections. Those scholarly families don't bother to teach their children and grandchildren sincerely, so it has been difficult to improve.
In addition, it is her grandfather's family, although she often visits, but she is the daughter of a married woman, many things are still unclear. She doesn't like to inquire about these things herself, so she never thought that there are still relatives who can be officials.
Although there are a few uncles and cousins ??who work as catchers and eat public food, their status has nothing to do with being an official. It's even quite humble. In the previous dynasty, the descendants didn't even have the qualifications for the scientific examination.
I never thought that my grandfather's family would make such a big move. No wonder this full moon reception is held so grandly, it's a bit beyond common sense. Wang Xiuxiu also thought it was strange, but after all, it took so many years for her grandfather's family to have a female doll, so she could understand when she was happy, so she didn't think deeply about it.
Now it makes sense, such a big event must be handled properly.
"It's your third uncle who is going to be an official. He's going to Taiping County to be a county lieutenant. It is said that the official document has been issued and he will be able to take up the post in a few days." An aunt said, her tone was full of pride, and her eyes were different from before. .
Although the county lieutenant is a low-level figure in the entire official system, for ordinary people, he is an official! With ordinary people like them, especially if their husband's family is from a lowly background like a pig butcher, that is definitely a big leap, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a carp leaping through the dragon's gate.
Wang Xiuxiu's third uncle is Baozhu's father. He is the most educated one in Cao's family. His wife is the granddaughter of a failed scholar. Although this family is far from a scholarly family, it is still extraordinary in the eyes of ordinary people.
It was not easy for Baozhu's father to marry a child from such a family. Although their family is rich, the scholars here are very particular about their integrity. After finally getting the status of a scholar, they naturally don't want to join forces and be ridiculed by other scholars.
In this way, it is likely to be drawn out of the circle, and it will be difficult to break into it from then on, and a lot of news and resources will be lost.
Baozhu's father was able to marry the scholar's daughter, firstly because he was not an ordinary reckless man, and he still had some ink in his stomach; secondly, it was also because the scholar had always been weak, and his family had been destitute to treat him. In addition, there was a need for the very talented Uncle Baozhu to study, so he agreed.
To a certain extent, Baozhu's mother was sold to the Cao family. When she married in, there was no dowry. Cao's family also promised to be responsible for the treatment of Xiucai in the future, for the scientific examination of Xiucai and his son. The money is not a small amount, and ordinary people can't afford it, and only the Cao family can support it.
The Cao family is not at a disadvantage, and it can be regarded as a kind of investment. If the scholar father and son can go to high school, it will also help them in the future. Even if you can't, being able to marry back the daughter of a scholar's family is an honor in itself.
?Because it was a matter of reputation, even though the scholar's family sold their daughter, they did not want to be taken lightly, so the external reasons were embellished. Basically, it is a hero who saves the beauty, a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman. So even Wang Xiuxiu didn't know the reason, and naively thought that it was as romantic as the rumors, which made her yearn for it very much.
"Taiping County? Isn't that a very remote and poor place? The people there are not very nice." Wang Xiuxiu was very happy at first, and it was also beneficial to her that someone from her grandfather's family was an official. Especially her favorite, the third uncle who looks the least like the Cao family and has a bit of a scholarly air.
Although Taiping County is called Taiping, it is actually not peaceful at all.
It is not too far from Yangcheng, and it takes about a day to ride a bullock cart, but it is a notoriously remote and remote place. The folk customs there are tough, and the typical poor mountains and rivers are full of troublesome people, and they are notoriously difficult to discipline. When Yangcheng hired people, they would stay away from them when they heard that they came from there. Only places like casinos like these people very much, because they are very vicious and they are excellent thugs.
Wouldn't it be very difficult to become an official there?
"Your third uncle said that this kind of place is easy to get What's the matter? I forgot that word. Anyway, it means that if you can get along, you will be able to go to a higher level in the future." An aunt saidAunt said in a low voice: "He is Tongzhi's brother-in-law."
Tong Zhiguan is in the fifth grade, and only one wife and brother are enough for the Cao family to please respectfully and courteously. It can be seen that no matter how rich and powerful he is, he can only stay humble in front of officials.
Thinking of his father being beaten, he didn't dare to make a show of it. If there is such a person in the family, how could it be like this?
Cai Xiaoman sighed in his heart, no wonder everyone's yearning for power is indeed very attractive.
"Auntie, thank you." Cai Xiaoman said, on this occasion, she, a half-old child, was actually asked to cook the dim sum inside, although at the dinner table, people generally pay less attention to it than other dishes. But let her take it down, it can be said to be very face-saving.
It's no wonder that Aunt Cao had a quarrel with her family before. If it weren't for Aunt Cao's different status, she wouldn't have been able to take over the job.
Aunt Cao was slightly taken aback, but then she came to her senses and said with a smile: "It really has nothing to do with me, it's because of your good craftsmanship. Auntie will not hide it from you. At first, it was like asking you to make pastries for the daytime banquet. Later, when I saw you They changed their minds about the crystal osmanthus cake they made.¡±
"No matter what, thank you, Aunt Cao, for introducing this job to me." Cai Xiaoman said gratefully. Although she hasn't given her a big red envelope yet, if she goes out to help others at such a young age, she won't be able to get what she did yesterday after working for two days. The price of tens of catties of meat.
Aunt Cao ironed her heart, and said with a smile: "Our two families don't talk about it anymore. I can see how you teach Xiuxiu. This kind of busyness is nothing at all."
At this time, the bell for dinner in Cao's house rang again, but no one yelled the words "dinner is ready" loudly. Compared with the wildness when everyone was eating yesterday, everyone is a lot more refined today. Although they are not silent, they are really quiet.
This kind of atmosphere made Cai Xiaoman feel a little awkward, and he was not even interested in the delicious food on the table. Cai Xiaoman actually doesn't like this kind of overly delicate food, although she is also a pastry chef who pursues exquisiteness. But after coming here, I enjoyed the pleasure of eating meat, and my hobbies were different from before.
These meals are very beautiful and taste very good, but when I see them, I just sigh in my heart that they are so beautiful, and they are only limited to aesthetics. It's not like yesterday's big pot of meat. I can't help but drool when I look at it, which makes people full of appetite.
Aunt Cao ate a few mouthfuls, and finally couldn't help but said: "The food is very good, but why do I feel that I owe something."
"Isn't it fun enough?" Cai Xiaoman said.
"Yes, yes, that's the feeling. I always feel that my hands are tied up, which is very uncomfortable. And the portion of these things is too small, it seems that I can eat a whole plate in one bite. If I eat all of them, it's not right, I can only dig out a piece of food." Little bit, it's too disappointing." Aunt Cao carelessly, a typical son and daughter of the Cao family.
However, Wang Xiuxiu found it very interesting. She has always longed for this kind of elegant appearance. Everyone is fastidious and moves a little slower than usual. The exquisite delicacies on the table made me become refined, and I no longer looked like a wild girl.
"I think it's very interesting. It would be great if I could come here a few more times."
Because due to the presence of big shots, everyone ate quietly, without the excitement of yesterday.
Cai Xiaoman was a little disappointed, she really liked the atmosphere yesterday.
But when she went back, she got a big red envelope, so she didn't think so. It was worth it for her to come this time, if she could do this every day, she would make a lot of money.
Back home, Cai Xiaoman happily showed off the results of his two days of busy work, and was called over by Cai Laogen.
"What?! Dad, you finally agreed!" Cai Xiaoman was very excited. Although he knew that Cai Laogen was loose, he still couldn't hide his excitement when he heard the exact answer.
Seeing her like this, Cai Laogen lost his last hesitation.
"But you can't come out to do business. You are a girl and you are not very old. It's better not to show your face."
Cai Xiaoman nodded fiercely. She is a chef, and she likes to deal with various ingredients instead of people. Naturally, it doesn't make sense.
"As for the contact with the outside world, just leave it to Bai Mian, I am not good at these things myself."
Cai Laogen nodded: "Remember, brothers will settle accounts clearly. No matter how good your relationship is now, matters related to money must be clear. Don't think about friendship, many things will be vague. Now let's talk Understand, then there will be no conflicts in the future. It is not worth losing a friend because of some trivial matter."
Cai Laogen said a lot of precautions, but Gao couldn't help but interrupted him.
"You really can't stop talking about it. Xiaoman has been busy for two days. You can see that her eyelids are about to fight. Let her go to wash and sleep."
Only then did Cai Laogen let Cai Xiaoman go, his brows were still slightly furrowed, gathering the lingering melancholy.
Seeing this, Cai Xiaoman squatted beside his legs, and said, "Father, with your watching, I won't go astray." (Remember the website website: www.hlnovel.com)Let her wash and sleep immediately. "
