This time there are many sages who want to enter the Xiangxian Temple, but only the Rongchang Ao family and the Changshou Hu family have Han Si's love.

The reason why the Ao family appreciates this is because the ancestors of the Ao family not only have a low ranking in Chinese culture, but also have not been elected as concubines in the Hanlin Academy. They don't even have big official positions. They have only served as county magistrates for two terms. No matter how they are compared, they cannot compare with other ancestors.

The ancestor of the Hu family, General Zhenwei, although he had a first-class official position, was ultimately a soldier.

Everything is low-grade, but if you are good at reading, you will definitely not be selected by a group of scholars who look down on the military! If the descendants of the longevity Hu family want to make a living, they can only use money to do so.

The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Although Mr. Gu and other local gentry have nodded, officials in the capital may raise objections. Therefore, they must not only manage the local gentry but also provide some benefits to the Han family. As long as Han Si, who is far away in the capital, is willing to help,

There will be no changes in the matter of General Hu entering the shrine.

Duan Jiqing would not tell Mr. Yang these inside stories. He passed by the incident at the Xiangxian Temple and said happily: "Master He, Secretary of the Cabinet, and Zhixing are also close friends. He is far away in the capital and is busy with official duties, so he will definitely not be able to come back."

Yes, but he has written a letter to his family a long time ago, and his brother He Xiucai asked a few days ago when the Full Moon Wine was."

As soon as you hear the secretary of the cabinet, you will know that he is the official of the cabinet.

Rich Man Yang was shocked, and Yang Xingming was equally surprised!

"Fei Juren of Bishan County is Zhixing's elder. His old man has long said that he must be invited on the day of the full moon. By the way, there is also Yang Juren of your Jiangbei Hall. Although he mentioned the sixth form, he is from the same clan as you. Others

He can’t come back to the capital, but someone from his family will still come to eat the baby’s full moon wine..."

Candidates from the 14 prefectures and counties of Chongqing Prefecture who went to the capital to take the exam this year, except Ren He, all those who could come came, and those who couldn't come had already written letters to their families, asking their families to prepare gifts and have full-moon wine.

Juren, who did not go to Beijing to take the exam this year due to various reasons but planned to take the exam next year, had already known that Han Xiufeng was the current leader of the Chongqing Guild Hall because of the financing for the renovation of the guild hall, the selection of local virtuous people to enter the temple, and the introduction of Fei Erye, Liu Shanyang and others.

The second master, Liu Shanyang and even Master Gu learned about Han Xiufeng's character and that anyone who was not far away would come as long as they could.

The master alone can sit at two tables, and not only do they not eat or drink, some of them have already sent congratulatory gifts, and some will bring congratulatory gifts when they come. What a great honor!

Yang Xingming realized why his father-in-law was so kind to his brother-in-law, and he didn't dare to think about it any more. He hurriedly said: "Dad, the people who come to have the Full Moon Wine are all distinguished guests who cannot be invited on ordinary days. They give us such a big favor, but this banquet cannot be

It’s too shabby.”

"It's natural. I've already agreed with the manager of Wangjiang Tower that there will be four tables for the fine banquet, which can be set up in the courtyard."

"Wangjianglou helped organize the banquet, so I will help welcome and send you off when the time comes?"

"Xingming, you don't need to worry about the reception. Mr. Fei from Bishan and Mr. Liu from Jiangbei Hall will help greet Mr. Gu and the others."

"Then why do you want me to help?" Yang Xingyang asked puzzledly.

Duan Jiqing put down his tea bowl and said with a smile: "Qin'er gave birth to not only Zhixing's baby, but also my grandson. Not only do we have to invite Mr. Gu and the others, but also the relatives of my Duan family and my colleagues in the government office. Fourteen Prefectures

The family members who are sitting in the main hall of the county office should be invited, the elders who are working in the county government office, the government office and the road department should be invited, and all the neighbors should be invited!"

Thinking that the in-laws originally planned to marry Qin'er to Ren He, but after Ren He won the election, he felt that he was not in the right family and actually proposed to take Qin'er as his concubine. The in-law in front of him, who was working as an errand in the government office, almost became angry to death. Rich Man Yang realized

The in-laws were planning to borrow the grandson's full-moon wine to be proud of. They couldn't help but smile and said, "You should invite him, but the yard is so big that there is not enough room for a few tables."

"My home is not far from here. There are four tables here and ten tables there. Let's invite them both together." Duan Jiqing smiled and said, "But you have to prepare the banquet over there.

The banquet is just like here, no matter how many gifts you receive, it won’t be enough to compensate you.”

"Yes, yes, this is the best arrangement."

…

Seeing that his in-laws and eldest son-in-law were willing to help with the arrangements, Duan Jiqing took out the articles of association and banknotes he had drafted earlier from his sleeves, and explained in detail what preparations should be made. A clerk from the government office unexpectedly brought an uninvited guest.

"Duan Jingcheng, someone has come from the capital, and they have brought a letter from Mr. Han!"

"Come in, come in, come in quickly."

Shopkeeper Yu's eldest son didn't wait for the clerk to introduce him, unpacked his bag, took out Han Xiufeng's letter, presented it with both hands, and said respectfully: "Wansheng's surname is Yu, and his given name is long. Wansheng's family is engaged in tea business, and my father is in the capital."

I opened a tea shop. Fortunately, Mr. Han helped me..."

"It turns out it's nephew Yu Xian. I don't need to be polite. Just sit down and talk."

"Thank you, Master Duan."

"My dear nephew, sit down for a moment and let me read the letter first."

Duan Jiqing asked his eldest son-in-law to quickly make tea for the guests while he opened the letter impatiently. He didn't want to read it, but he was so happy that he left everyone else behind and got up and walked into the east wing. He stood by the bed and watched.

Qin'er, who had just heard that the visitor from the capital had already sat up, said excitedly: "Qin'er, you are really blessed. Zhixing is in the capital, but my heart is here with you two. I am worried that you two will not live well. Not only

I flattered the incoming salt tea ceremony, and even invested all my hard-earned savings into shares, and started a side tea business in partnership with Shopkeeper Yu’s family!"

Qin'er asked in surprise: "How did he get so much money after earning a thousand taels?"

"Don't worry about it." Duan Jiqing looked at his little grandson sleeping inside, and said with a smile: "Zhixing made it clear in the letter that he asked me to help take care of this business, and the money he gets from dividends in the future does not need to go to

He will give it to him and keep it all for the family! Let's put it this way, this is a livelihood, and you can get three or four hundred taels at least a year, so you two don't have to worry about sitting on nothing."

Of course Qin'er was happy, but after thinking about it she asked: "Dad, what should I do if I lose money?"

"You know what? Just like salt tea, not everyone can get it. I don't know about other places, but in Sichuan, as long as you can get tea tea, you can make money." Duan Jiqing carefully folded the letter.

, and then said with a smile: "This opportunity is rare, only one thousand taels is too little. When shopkeeper Yu arrives, I will also invest in some shares."

In the past six months, I have received many gifts. Qin'er really didn't think about her future livelihood, but asked eagerly: "Dad, what else did he say in the letter?"

"The letter was written a month and a half ago, before the baby was born. He said that he misses his family every day and dreams about you and the baby in your belly. Not only does he go to the temple to burn incense and make wishes for the safety of you and your mother, but he also

You have to burn incense sticks before going out every day." Duan Jiqing paused, and then said: "He told you not to be so frugal, and let Yaomei'er buy whatever you want to eat. He told you not to worry about him, he will take care of it.

Be good to yourself, and when I fill the vacancy and become a superior, I will take you to reunite with you anywhere."
