207. Luxury

Mrs. He plans to go to the temple to calculate her own fortune. The schedule is as follows:

First, I asked Madam Yu to find the old calendar, and the master and servant sat down in the corridor, facing the sun, and looked over a good day. Of course, you have to look at the days when you go to the temple, otherwise, if you go out on a "not suitable for going out" day, you are already a taboo, so how can you have a good sign?

Second, after deciding to go to the temple to divine the fortune teller, Mrs. He ordered Xiao Fuzi and Cui'er to bring two bottles of grapefruit tea made by their maids, go to Hu's house to visit the third girl, and tell the third girl that she would go with her. Then there is a deep meaning here. Mrs. He wanted to ask the third girl to worship Guanyin and send her son to Guanyin.

Third, it is also called A Nian to go together. Good students give Wenqu Xingjun a stick of incense to bless A Nian's boys to pass the test successfully and get a scholar in a smooth exam.

Fourth, let’s go to the movies too. Although I don’t plant flowers, I hope for peace.

Fifth, Brother Jun has been running, dancing, talking and laughing, not to mention that he is so interested in it. Mrs. He looked at him and saw that the child in this world who could compete with his second grandson was the eldest grandson. Therefore, his daughter-in-law Shen also wanted to go. Since Mrs. Shen broke the curse of the He family's several generations of single-handed curse, Mrs. He has been hoping that Mrs. Shen would import more children to the old He family. The purpose of Shen's trip was the same as that of the third girl, and to pay homage to Guanyin.

Sixth, son, the whole family is all out, and the son is filial, so he must serve her. Although the autumn examinations have not been successful in recent years, the son is still young, and even the curse of the He family's several generations of single passes can be broken. What is a mere Juren! Don't say that my son is in his early thirties, many people are still taking the exam for scholars in his sixties. The key is that Mr. He has already realized that the exam for Juren is the same as having a grandson, and you have to be patient. Her second grandson has been born, and she is afraid that Juren will not be able to pass the exam! Jie Shi went to the temple, and his son and A Nian went to kowtow to Wenqu Xingjun!

Seventh, Jiang Ren has to go too. Although this kid is just a relative of the He family, he is the shopkeeper who manages the shop for his own girl movies! The girl movies have no flowers and have lost a lot of money. If he spread a shopkeeper with no fortune, life will be really impossible. Therefore, Jiang Ren will never go wrong to worship the God of Wealth.

There is also money for incense and oil. Because the family is willing to have too much, I gritted my teeth and ordered Madam Yu to bring a tael of silver, which is enough! After thinking about this, Old Madam He decided to do it. On the 28th day of the first lunar month, the whole family went to Furong Temple to burn incense!

Mrs. He has made great efforts to arrange it. Who knew that someone had objected? Except for her girl movies, no one is so brave! When He Zijin couldn't say anything, Mrs. He immediately looked cold and asked, "Why don't you go! I'm stupid! I'm going to worship the Bodhisattva! I think anyone has this opportunity?"

He Zijin had a good reason, "Master Chaoyun is a Taoist, I have long been worshipping Master Chaoyun as my master. How can a great disciple of the Three Pure Land worship Buddhism? As the saying goes, if you don't have a family, you won't enter the family. How could my grandmother forget it?"

If there were no reason, Mrs. He would not accept it casually. After He Zijin said this, Mrs. He didn't say anything. Mrs. He was still very cautious about faith. She thought about it and felt that the girl's movie was right, so she said, "That's right. You can't ask the Taoist priest to go to the monk temple to recite scriptures. Forget it, if you don't go, don't go. It's not good to visit any other person. Then you can take Brother Jun at home. Brother Jun is young, so it's hard to go to Buddhism."

He Zijin agreed.

Old Madam He was very pious. On the day he went to worship Buddha, he specially asked Mrs. Zhou to cook vegetarian food in the morning. After breakfast with her family, she took her son, daughter-in-law, A Nian Jiangren and the third girl Hu Wen who came here early in the morning to Furong Temple.

When the elders were sent out, A Lie shouted, "Madam Zhou, get me a big steak to eat." A Lie loved to eat meat because he was growing up. The He family was gradually getting richer and he no longer felt wronged about eating. Especially A Lie has been so fast in recent years that he has never seen fat for four meals a day. Like A Nian, he has given birth to thin legs. Old Mother He often talks, "I don't know where to eat!" Of course, people on the street praised her boy for giving birth to taller children.

He is still very proud of his mother. If his grandson is stronger, it will be even more favorable to her! Therefore, she adds more than two taels of food every month to make her grandson eat well and raise her body. Therefore, A Lie can’t live without meat all day. Today, the elders go to burn incense, and he eats vegetarian food. Once the elders leave, he will have to eat two large steaks, otherwise in A Lie’s words, “I won’t eat meat any day, and I will never have the energy to go to school.”

He Zijin glanced at him and said, "Hurry up and eat yours. If you are too busy, it will be too late to go to school." Seeing Madam Zhou bringing A Lie a big dish happily, He Zijin asked, "Have you prepared A Lie's food box?"

The chef starved to death by 800 kilograms. When He Zijin was a child, Madam Zhou had a round face and rich appearance. In recent years, as her cooking skills have been advancing, Madam Zhou has become more and more prosperous. She has a double chin on her round face. Madam Zhou saw He Zijin asking, and smiled, "All of them are ready, just stewed with dried beans, just stewed with spring bamboo shoots, and just fried tofu."

He Zijin smiled, "Okay. Mama, let's have breakfast too."

As he was talking, Feng Can and a few came to go to school together. A Lie ate the big steak in panic. He Zijin said, "What's the hurry? It's still early." He ordered Madam Zhou, "Madam brings four more pieces of steak and serves four bowls of seaweed soup." He smiled, "Try my big steak."

Feng Can is the oldest, two years older than He Zijin. He said politely, "Sister He, we have all used breakfast."

He Zijin smiled, "What's the point of tasting it? It's not the outside."

A Lie also said, "Yes, Brother A Can, don't be polite. In school, we'll have lunch together."

The two families were in-laws and became neighbors, and they were quite close to each other. Feng Can stopped being polite and laughed, "Then I'll bother my sister."

Madam Zhou went to bring the big steak and seaweed soup. A Lie and Feng Yan were classmates and had the best relationship. Feng Yan said, "My chef also learned how to fry big steaks from Madam Zhou. The taste of the cook is always not as good as Madam Zhou."

As a chef, this is the biggest compliment. Madam Zhou smiled and said, "When will Mr. Yan want to eat, and when will he come here, I will make it for you to eat."

Five students had eaten large rice and drank soup, so they said goodbye to He Zijin and went to school.

He Zijin coaxed Jun Ge'er at home. Jun Ge'er was over one year old and even though he had not been weaned, he could still eat some complementary food. At noon, he made a cup of steamed eggs for Jun Ge'er to eat and a small bowl of egg custard. He Zijin picked up a small piece of tender meat from the fish's belly to feed him. Jun Ge'er also ate it sweetly, and after eating it, he still had to eat it.

He Zijin was feeding Brother Jun'er food, and someone came to visit. Today, Mrs. He and his party went to the temple to burn incense, and Madam Yu's little Fuzi meatballs were also taken with them. Only Madam Zhou, Cui'er, Cui'er's son, Brother Zhong and He Zijin were left. Brother Zhong was younger than Brother Jun'er and had already fallen asleep after eating milk. Cui'er and Madam Yu took advantage of the weather to rummage the small vegetable garden and prepare to grow some vegetables for their homes. Suddenly, a young man in his twenties came in, and they were all shocked. Madam Zhou was older and had more knowledge. Seeing that this man was dressed normally, he was still clean and neat, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The man bowed, "But He Gong and Xiucai's family?"

Madam Zhou said, "That's right."

"I am the family of the Censor Sun, the Censor of the Shuzhong Campaign." As he said that, he took out a reply letter and handed it on, saying, "Can the grandmother of the mansion be at home? My uncle and the uncle of the mansion, Lord Shen, are in the same imperial examination. This time, I will send a letter from Lord Shen on the order of Lord Shen."

Madam Zhou jumped up and danced, "It turns out that it was my uncle who wrote a letter! Wait a moment, I'll tell the girl!" She hurriedly ran to the house to report the message!

He Zijin was also happy when he heard this, and handed Brother Jun to Madam Zhou and said, "I'll go out and have a look. Madam looks at Brother Jun."

When I saw that person, I realized that this person's name was Sun Zhong, but his name was the same as that of Zhong Ge'er. Sun Zhong was just moved to the Shuzhou Censor, and Sun Zhong came to deliver a letter to Shen Su on the order of Censor Sun. He Zijin received the letter. Seeing that the envelope was indeed her uncle's handwriting, she couldn't help but smile, "Is Brother Sun Sun here for such a long distance?"

"Yes. Bishui County is as Lord Shen said. It's not far from the prefecture. I rode a horse and set off yesterday morning and arrived this afternoon." Sun Zhong asked, "Is the big grandma not at home?"

"My father and mother followed their grandmother to the temple to burn incense and returned in the afternoon."

He Zijin thought about Sun Zhong's tone and thought that the Censor Sun must be very familiar with her uncle, so he said, "Since my uncle went to the imperial capital four years ago, it has been inconvenient for information. Brother Sun knows about my uncle, let me talk to you."

Sun Zhong said, "Mr. Shen is fine in the imperial capital. Not only is my master and Mr. Shen the same subject, he is also a neighbor in the imperial capital for three years. Mrs. Shen gave birth to a son in the imperial capital last year, and the girl became a cousin again. Mrs. Shen is also hard-working. The two masters are good at studying and often hear the two masters talk about girls." As he said that, he couldn't help but think that this girl He was indeed as Lord Shen said, and his eyebrows were more like Lord Shen than the three masters of the Shen family. He was obviously the niece of Lord Shen.

Although I knew my uncle would not be in a bad life, I just had to listen to someone to feel at ease. He Zijin smiled, "That's good."

Madam Zhou came in and said, "Miss, the meal is ready."

He Zijin smiled, "Brother Sun must be tired all the way. It's a common occurrence. Brother Sun goes to have dinner first. I have to ask someone to clean up the house, so I have to rest for two days, and it's not too late to go back to the prefecture."

Sun Zhong stood up and went to have dinner with Madam Zhou.

He Zijin was very urged to open the letter and take a look, but he still suppressed this and waited for her mother to come back before talking. He Zijin looked at Brother Jun and asked Cui'er to clean up the house for Sun Zhong.

Her mother came back not too late, mainly burning incense in the temple. She ate vegetarian food in the temple at noon, so she delayed some time. When she got home, she heard that Shen Su asked someone to send a message, and Old Madam He looked happy and smiled, "I'll just say that there is nothing more effective than the incense in Furong Temple! As soon as she burned incense, my uncle sent a letter!"

The whole family was overjoyed. Shen quickly asked for a letter to read. He Zijin also stretched his neck and followed the side to see it. The letter said all good things. Chen Su briefly mentioned that although the Hanlin Academy is not a well-off yamen, because the Hanlin Academy is known as the Prime Minister, he is also very well treated. Later, after becoming a leader in the Hanlin, Chen Su found a part-time job in the imperial capital, and worked as a lecturer in the Jinshi crash class to give lectures to the juren who were preparing for the Jinshi exam in the imperial capital. Of course, they are not called the Jinshi crash class, but that's probably what it means. Looking at the letter, her uncle did a good job in this industry. He Zijin didn't expect that there was a Jinshi crash class in the imperial capital. He Zijin was thinking about this matter, and Shen was already smiling and said, "Asu has another son."

Old lady He put down the teacup and slapped her palm, and she was envious, "It's true that it's under the foot of the imperial city. Feng Shui is good! It's prosperous for children!" This is incomparable. Bishui County is too far from the imperial capital, and it probably won't be able to touch the Feng Shui of the imperial capital. But today I have worshipped Guanyin to give birth to my son. As long as the Guanyin works harder, I think it's the same!

My mother's family was prosperous, and Shen was happy and smiled, "What my mother said," and continued to read the letter.

Chen Su mentioned that He Gong asked someone to bring money. Chen Su said that he had already gained a reputation as a tutoring expert in recent years and was about to get a few more people to run a crash course for Jinshi by himself. He didn't have much money to buy the money, so he accepted it and became a niece. When he got rich in the future, his uncle and nephew shared dividends. He Zijin said, "This is my career!"

Shen said, "Your uncle just said that, don't take it seriously."

"Why don't you take it seriously? I just take it seriously."

Shen glared at her daughter, and He Gong smiled, "Asu is all right, that's fine."

Mrs. He was already asking, "What career?"

He Zijin went over to tell his grandmother that when Mrs. He first heard the father and daughter carrying her back, she twitched with pain. Then she heard her own girl's film that Chen Su's Jinshi crash course is not a waste of money, and she is considered a stock that the girl's film will be paid for in the future. Mrs. He will not have any dividends for the time being and asked quietly, "What kind of cram school, do you make money?"

He Zijin blinked a pair of big peach blossom eyes and said, "Have you seen my uncle pay money?"

This is true. In the past, Mrs. He thought the Shen family was poor, and that was a scholar in Chen’s family. He knew that he was studying and did not understand economics. Chen Su was different. Not only was Chen Su spiritual in school, he helped the villagers to make fruits, vegetables and vegetables when he was in his hometown. He raised fish, eels and pheasants by himself. Although he didn’t make a lot of money, his life was not bad, and he was a hundred times better than Chen’s family.

Although He Zijin's words make sense, they can't help but intimidate Mrs. He, who has experienced a lot, pointed directly at the critical point, "How long will it take for you to get your money back?"

He Zijin said, "Grandma thought, what would it take for A Nian and their students to study in our county to study in a year? If it were a juren and a Jinshi lecture, would it be possible to study thirty taels a year?"

Old Madam He immediately shook her head, "Where can it be!"

"Yes. In our small places like Bishui County, primary school students who have no fame need to study for thirty taels a year. Grandma thought about the imperial capital, where is it? Oil, salt, rice and flour, and it is not as cheap as it is. Of course, studying is even more expensive. If I were to run a cram school and I had to charge for it, it would cost fifty taels in half a year! Twenty people in a class, that's one thousand taels! Judging from my uncle's tone, it's not a class. Grandma thought about it, how long will it take to get the money back?"

He. A good expert in settlement. As soon as Zi Jin came out, Mrs. He giggled and laughed for a while. Mrs. He covered her mouth with a veil and scolded her girl, "Oh, my silly girl, what is the relationship between us and your uncle? My uncle, your uncle is the same as your mother. He is serious, breaking bones and feeding them with tendons! How can we talk about money? How can we talk about money!" She tsk twice, and her righteousness was as fierce as a twelve-level whirlwind. He was a little unstable, and then she heard Mrs. He whirlwind say loudly, "No one is allowed to talk about money with me again! Our uncle, it is necessary to help one or two! Don't talk about money again! Don't blame my old woman for turning against me!"

He Zijin was stunned and thought to himself, my grandma, you still have the luxury of such a face~
