Chapter 67 Saint?
Tanhualang is the son of a civilian official. At this time, the family patriarchal tradition is that the son has become a member of the family, so the wife of this family naturally made a porcelain set with Mrs. Cheng and invited Princess Gaoling to show her favor. Originally, Shi Niang didn't want to go.
Yes, unless the old lady asked me to do so, it would be hard to refuse. I have received so many gifts from the old lady since I was a child. If I don’t agree to this, I would be really arrogant.
The Sixth Lady didn't come, so she decided on a date. She was locked up these days to relax. In fact, she didn't want to come out. So Shi Niang got into the car with the old lady and slowly went to Chang's home. By the way, she listened to the old lady talk about the Chang family.
It was an anecdote, but she was quite happy. Now she knew who the sixth lady was like in terms of gossip.
Mr. Chang can no longer be considered a commoner, he is almost from a humble family. He relied on the support of his clan and his wife's support to pass the exam. But his family is not a big family in the countryside. Even the clan leader only has a shop in the countryside.
Just dozens of acres of paddy fields. How much can you help him?
Therefore, Mr. Chang has a very good temperament and attaches great importance to education. He feels that his own children are not as smart as his nephew, so he vigorously cultivates his nephew, whose parents both died when he was young. This time his nephew is admitted as a Tanhualang, and the Chang family will definitely make a big fuss.
. He also specially gave it to Princess Gaoling, who was very popular in the capital. His ambition was not small.
People obviously feel that they now have the capital to marry into aristocratic families. As long as they can marry into aristocratic families, the Chang family can really get rid of the original shadow of the family.
Anyway, Shi Niang despises these people, and usually hates the wealthy families to death. But when there is a chance, they will immediately betray their own camp.
Of course, Mr. Chang's ideas are quite literary. But why he is a nephew, not only because he is Tanhualang, but also because he is a nephew. The name Tanhualang can be used, and the nephew can clear up the relationship in time. He is not a biological son,
No matter what happens, it's easy to say.
"You can advance to attack and retreat to defend." Shi Niang nodded, but thinking about it, she felt something was wrong. Besides advancing to attack and retreating to defend, why did she feel that she had overlooked something?
"Look at the three people this time, the fifth child represents the old family, the second child represents the common people, and the nephew of the Chang family represents the emerging forces." Mrs. Cheng counted the beads and said nonchalantly, "So later, you
Don't run around, these people, their hearts, are with me."
"Why?" Shi Niang's eyes narrowed, and she was indeed relaxed. She just treated it as a small talk and ignored important information.
"Mr. Chang and his wife have three sons and one daughter. Both of Chang Tanhua's parents have died. They live with Mr. Chang and his wife. Everyone praises Mr. Chang for his righteousness, but none of his sons can teach him. He has taught his nephew to become Tanhua Lang. He is really well-received by others.
Respect." Madam Cheng smiled.
"Third son, nephew?" Shi Niang patted her head. Sure enough, what she just said was wrong. It turned out to be here. But the old lady said that the Chang family is a truly poor family. Even the patriarch only has one shop and dozens of acres.
It's just a paddy field. If you can offer it to Master Chang, it's really like smoke rising from the ancestral graves, so
Chang Tanhua couldn't borrow the family's power if he wanted to. As for Mr. Chang, he has three sons and one daughter. Even though he regards his nephews as his own children, Mr. Chang was born in a poor family and married an ordinary wife, which would not help him in the officialdom.
.So the family property must be accumulated bit by bit along with his official position.
Wu Niang taught Shi Niang's housekeeper and financial management from Shi Niang's upbringing expenses, so that Shi Niang could see clearly that the most expensive thing in the world is education. Even though it was his own mother who taught him, apart from not paying tuition, he
You won't be able to save any other money.
For example, to learn to ride a horse, you must have a horse, right? Does the harness cost money, does it cost money to raise a horse, does it cost money to have a groom who raises the horse? This alone is not affordable for ordinary people. Then the fourth lady talks about cultivating temperament.
, that would cost even more money. Is the extravagance just fake? It comes from good things...
Wu Niang also used the analogy of the cost of raising a student. People also train ordinary students and train elegant and talented people. The costs of the two are different, just like raising her and raising an ordinary daughter of a fifth-grade official.
What's the difference?
As the old lady Gangcheng said, Mr. Chang came from a truly poor family, and they cultivated a prodigy. They wanted to be famous, make friends, and develop a noble temperament. All these were piled up with money. And they dared to call themselves,
It means that people are very fond of this nephew.
If you are confident, then the cost will be even greater. The main thing is, who would do this? Who would spend all their money to do this for their nephew? This money is enough for them to raise another son. It is not enough for a family to produce two ordinary Jinshi
Okay? Why do you have to visit Hua Lang?
"How smart! You see, our fifth grandpa personally taught us since he was a child, and took him to visit famous teachers. None of the famous teachers in the capital gave him any guidance. He grew up around those great bachelors, and they watched him grow up.
Son, who hasn’t read the article for him? They are very familiar with his article, so anonymity is of no use to us. Waiting for the imperial examination, your uncle
It depends on the veteran. As long as he is decent, he can afford a top scholar. It took more than ten years to train a top scholar for the Cheng family. Not to mention the cost, even if it takes such effort, who can afford it?
?" Old Mrs. Cheng actually wants to fight for Lao Wu. She has to let Shi Niang know that the heritage of a century-old family is really beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"So how dare they ask you to date me?" Shi Niang also wanted to ask, how could her mother agree to let the old lady bring her here?
"What your mother means is that this kind of family will be very interesting. If you can be set up, she will teach you for nothing." Mrs. Cheng laughed.
"Then you still want me to follow you closely? What's the point of following you?" Shi Niang also smiled, and suddenly understood the eldest princess's intention.
"Alas, the eldest princess is still a little naive. She would never imagine the extent of a human heart. You can just watch from a distance. A rich man will not sit down in the hall." Mrs. Cheng laughed again, her voice
It was quite cold.
"This Lord Chang should be at least a third-rank official, right? Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to mention this to you, right?" Shi Niang didn't go into details. She knew about several aristocratic and noble families in the court, but these common people in the capital
I really don’t know much about the officials I came from. But if you dare to ask Mrs. Cheng to invite you, you have some confidence, right?
"From the third grade, Secretary and Provincial Supervisor." Mrs. Cheng nodded, and now she really felt that Shi Niang had taught her well.
The secretary is in charge of the classics and books of the country, and the secretary is in charge of the classics and books. He is in charge of the book bureau. Therefore, it is called this name, which is different from the secretaries and assistants of later generations. As the name suggests, ancient book collections are precious, so even for books
The royal family must also be managed by dedicated personnel. But this yamen is really not suitable for a poor student to serve. It is elegant and noble, but it is not easy to support a family.
"It's very good. I guess Young Master Chang has no shortage of books to read." Shi Niang smiled. She was taught by Wu Niang. There is no real Qingshui Yamen in this world. The more people think of a place like Qingshui Yamen, the more...
It was so dirty. She really didn't want to see this. She raised her head and looked at Old Mrs. Cheng with a smile, "Will you invite Fifth Brother and Cousin Zhang of the Lu family today?"

Well, I read "The First Day of Sunshine" yesterday and I thought my writing was pretty good. Why didn't anyone read that article?
