Daily Struggle in Ancient Times (Farming)

Chapter 66

  "Hengyuan Academy? Is it the Hengyuan Academy among the six academies?" Wei Yun's eyes widened and his voice trembled a little, obviously because he was very frightened and excited.

It's not his fault, the six academies of the Great Zhou Dynasty were famous all over the world, no matter how remote and desolate the place is, I'm afraid everyone has heard of their names. The number of people who passed the exams of the six academies is as numerous as a cow's hair. More than 70% of the people with fame and reputation in the whole week came from the six academies, not to mention the palace examination every three years. The six academies even contracted the top three in turn.

As one of the six major academies, Hengyuan Academy is a place where scholars all over the world dream of studying, and its difficulty in enrolling is famous all over the world. No matter how good your knowledge is, you have to go through the academy's selection process. Knowledge, character, and potential are the academy's entrance assessment criteria.

To participate in the entrance examination of the academy, you must have a recommendation letter from the academy, which is something that only the masters of the academy and outstanding disciples have the right to give. Occasionally, Wei Yun thought about sending Wei Xiaodi to the academy to study in the future, but they didn't know the people in the academy, and they didn't have enough money to buy one from others, so Wei Yun just thought about it.

But now, Huo Cheng actually said that shopkeeper Tong was willing to give Wei Xiaodi a recommendation letter to enroll in Hengyuan Academy, how could he not be excited and frightened.

Seeing Huo Cheng nodding his head, Wei Yun blushed with excitement, and he was about to tell Huo Cheng to agree, but seeing that Huo Cheng's face was not happy, his feverish mind gradually calmed down.

"Is there a problem?"

Huo Cheng was a little surprised, "I thought you would let me agree directly."

Wei Yun curled his lips, and put Xiao Pingan, who had already slept soundly, on the bed, "I wanted to agree, but since you didn't immediately If you agree, it means that you have concerns and thoughts in your heart. This Hengyuan Academy is so difficult to get into, and a recommendation letter is worth thousands of gold, but the shopkeeper Tong gave it to brother Yu so easily, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit abnormal."

Huo Cheng paused, and then slowly opened his mouth: "I told you before that the contract I signed with Shopkeeper Tong stated that the recipe for the bacon will belong to him five years later. Now, Shopkeeper Tong wants to take away the bacon two years in advance. The formula."

Wei Yun was a little surprised when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not too sudden.

Nowadays, in the business of preserved meat, Tongjia Restaurant will send 20 taels of silver to the Huo family in January, which is 280 taels of silver a year, which is not a small sum.

Shopkeeper Tong is both bold and thoughtful, otherwise he would not have done the bacon business with Huo Cheng. Naturally, such a person would not guard his ancestors' family business for the rest of his life, and it became natural to make the business bigger. things.

But there is a contract, once the business expands, the Tong family will not only give two two hundred and eight, but many. It became understandable for the Tong family to rush to take away the formula.

"It's expected that he would do this, how much does he want to give?" Wei Yun asked.

Seeing that he figured it out so quickly, Huo Cheng couldn't help being a little proud. His little husband is really a smart person in the world. If he was born in an official family, he would be granted the title of Marquis and Prime Minister.

Huo Cheng told the amount discussed with shopkeeper Tong, and said: "This is not a big deal. There are thousands of ways to make money in this world. The living will never be suffocated to death by urine, and there will always be someone who can make money." Connections. But the recommendation letter from Hengyuan Academy is worth a thousand gold, and I don't think our formula is so valuable that the other party is willing to give it up." Wei Yun nodded, flicked the candle on the table, and analyzed solemnly

: " I think he probably wants to put a long line to catch big fish. Brother Yu is now a top-notch student in the school. I have heard many people call him a genius. Shopkeeper Tong probably thinks that Brother Yu is a man who can be made, so he is willing. Give him this chance."

Although the words are tactful, the couple actually understand that the Tong shopkeeper probably also hopes that the younger brother of the Japanese guard will become an official and can protect his family for a while.

This is also where the two are in trouble.

No one knows what Wei Yu will be like in the future. If he disappears from everyone in the future, it will be fine. If he really becomes an official as the shopkeeper Tong wishes, if there is something wrong with the Tong family, he will force Wei Xiaodi to give it to him. Wei Yun was extremely unhappy when the other party escorted him.

He pursed his lips, and said with a serious face: "If brother Yu really has great fortune in the future, if the Tong family is law-abiding, I naturally don't mind helping them. It's okay to help, but I really don't want to cover them up against my conscience and even join forces with them."

He had a serious face, his serious analysis was too dazzling, Huo Cheng couldn't help but kiss him on the lips.

Wei Yun's sullen face suddenly changed, completely broken, and asked him with a smile: "Why do you talk about the business?"

Huo Cheng nodded, "Speak the business."

Wei Yun paused, and continued: "The letter of recommendation is important and rare, but if you will be tied up because of it in the future, you don't need it. You are still young, and you will always find a way to get another one in the past few years." This is actually not true. If Hengyuan

Academy If the letter of recommendation is so easy to get, then Hengyuan Academy will not be one of the top five.

But Huo Cheng's thoughts are the same as his. Whether it is now or in the past, people should not take risks that they may not be able to bear or even lose everything for things that have not happened.

Although the couple had the same opinion, they still solemnly asked Wei Xiaodi for his opinion. After all, this matter was actually Wei Xiaodi's own business.

Wei Xiaodi and Wei Yun's reactions were strikingly similar, from the initial ecstasy and shock to the vague feeling that something was wrong, it didn't take too long.

Huo Cheng couldn't help sighing, these two people are indeed a family, and their reactions are really similar. It's just that Wei Xiaodi is so young that he still can't figure out such a complicated matter, but he just has a vague idea.

When Wei Yun explained his scruples to him in detail, even though Wei Xiaodi was reluctant to give up, he still firmly chose to give up.

He ate well this year, and lived a comfortable life. His small body has grown a lot, and he is also a little fatter than before. Wearing a green shirt, he looks like a green bamboo that has always been small, immature but tall and straight.

Wei Yun couldn't help but have a sense of wonder that my family has a child who has just grown up.

Shopkeeper Tong never expected that what he thought was a surefire thing, turned out to be a complete mess. Just now, when Huo Cheng told him that he didn't want the recommendation letter, shopkeeper Tong almost felt that he had heard it wrong, and after confirming again and again that he still got the answer of rejection , shopkeeper

Tong couldn't help muttering: "Is this crazy?"

It's small, but Huo Cheng was keen to catch it. He just pretended that he didn't hear it, and said solemnly: "Hengyuan Academy is in Fucheng, very far away from home, so he must live in a school. Brother Yu is too young. I don't feel at ease with his elder brother, we'd better keep him at home for a few more years before going, and if there's any need at that time, he'll definitely ask someone to help." After finishing speaking, he didn't care what Shopkeeper Tong thought

. I went to move the bacon.

The master was unwilling, so shopkeeper Tong had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, he solved the problem of the formula this time, and it was finally done.

As soon as shopkeeper Tong left, the Huo family resumed their regular life. With the money given by shopkeeper Tong, Huo Cheng bought some more land, including a lot of upper, middle and lower third-class fields, and the amount of land in the family finally exceeded 100 mu. , became a small landowner.

The new house was not too far from the river, so Huo Chengcheng simply bought the open space behind the house and planned to dig a pond and plant some vegetables and fruit trees in the rest. It would be easy to expand the house in the future, killing three birds with one stone.

This year's winter is particularly cold. There was a heavy snowfall just after the beginning of winter, and two small ones fell intermittently in the middle. It was just after the twelfth lunar month, and another heavy snowfall immediately fell.

The goose-feather-like heavy snow was falling one after another, and looking up, the sky and the earth were completely covered in white, and for a while people couldn't tell what was the sky and what was the earth.

The heavy snow fell quickly and heavily, and within a short while, a thick layer was accumulated. The cold wind was bitter, and everyone hid at home, and the village was quiet.

A rush of horseshoes sounded from far to near, breaking the silence, and the wind and snow rushed towards the face, the snow was carried up, and the scarlet cloak of the yamen servant was lifted by the wind, bringing a sense of killing.

It snowed heavily today, and the schoolwork was also stopped. The Huo family managed to gather all the people together, and everyone gathered in the main room. There was a kang and a brazier burning in the room. It was as warm as spring. Compared with the ice and snow outside, it seemed like a two worlds.

Everyone gathered together, aimlessly chatting and gossiping, and then teasing Xiaopingan and a few children, living a comfortable and comfortable life.

Huo's family has a large yard. Usually, Gou Laoliu's family lives in front, and they can hear clearly when someone knocks on the door. It's just that it's snowing heavily today, and everyone is squatting at home. No one will come out to visit boredly. Huo Cheng called over.

Little Shitou was the happiest, running after Tong Geer and Wei Xiaodi, his childish laughter made people's hearts soften.

I don't know if I'm used to listening to it on weekdays. Gou Lao Liu Lao felt that someone was calling the door again, faintly coming from afar, like a hallucination.

The sound continued, urgent and heavy, and he suddenly realized that it was not a hallucination, but someone was really knocking on the door.

He winked at Huo Cheng, and the two of them walked out together, explaining to Huo Cheng as they walked: "It sounds like someone is knocking on the door. It's winter, knocking on the door may not be a big deal right now." Hey, it might even be a wild thing that came down from the mountain, let's go and have a look."

Huo Cheng nodded and agreed, if you come to the door on such a day, either the visitor is unkind or there is something serious, it's always good to be cautious.

When the two of them came out of the warm room, they were suddenly chilled, and couldn't help shrinking their necks.

The further they walked, the louder the voice calling for the door became. The two of them looked at each other with a look of wariness in their eyes, and quickly walked over.

"Who is it?" Gou Lao Liu stretched his hand into his bosom, holding the handle of the dagger, and asked loudly.

The people outside the door seemed to be stuck, and they paused for a moment before saying: "I am Zheng Da from the yamen, and I am here to report the letter!"

Report the letter? Gou Lao Liu looked like Huo Cheng when he asked.

Huo Cheng had met Zheng San, he had a good relationship with Shopkeeper Feng, he was reliable, and his voice was indeed his, so he nodded towards Gou Lao Liu.

With a sound of "squeak", the closed door was pulled open, revealing Zheng Da who was covered in snow outside. His body was covered in ice and snow, and a thin layer of ice hung on his eyebrows. This person was trembling slightly.

Huo Cheng hurriedly dragged the person in, "What's going on here? In such a hurry, why did you come here at this time?" Zheng Da's teeth were

fighting with the cold, and he rubbed his hands and smiled bitterly: "You think I want to come? Brother, this is also the reason why I was forced to come here." Forced, there is no way, your second sister-in-law killed your second brother, such a big thing, I can't wait for the snow to stop before coming here?"
