Wearing brocade clothes and not returning home is like playing at night with a candle.
Fan Jin felt that the ancients did not deceive him.
Along the way, people kept bowing to him with respectful expressions on their faces.
Some of the Fan family members were all smiling.
Fan Jin's father was a scholar, and the people of Fan's village were proud of him.
Unfortunately, Father Fan passed away not long after, and the clansmen felt sorry for him.
Now that Fan Jin had great hope, the clansmen were naturally happy.
This was not a clan that was scattered in the future.
If there was a scholar husband in the clan, the neighboring villages and other surnames would look up to him.
Fighting for land, fighting for water sources, setting the amount of land tax, corvee miscellaneous taxes, whether there was a scholar in a village or not, the county officials and the general would have different quotas.
Amidst the respectful and kind greetings, Fan Jin also went to the Hu family butcher shop first. He handed the horse to Wu Sixi and walked straight to Butcher Hu.
Amidst the banging sounds, Butcher Hu was chopping bones.
When he saw Fan Jin, he only snorted coldly.
"Greetings, Old Man Hu." Fan Jin said sincerely," Thank you for the county examination, father. I'm lucky I won."”
"I heard that the county lord gave you the head of the case.”Butcher Hu said,"Jinzi, I have a few words for you to listen to."”
"Father, please speak."
"Now that you have the chance to be husband, you have to be proper in everything. In my line of work, we are all decent and respectable people. We are also your eldest relatives. How can you be so arrogant in front of us? Those farmers and scavengers are all ordinary people. If you bow to them and sit on the same seat as them, you will break the rules. Even we will lose face. Do you remember?”
Fan Jin laughed secretly.
Butcher Hu had a butcher's shop and a grocery store. He could be considered a well-off businessman, and his life was much better than farming and cleaning feces.
However, their true status was probably not even comparable to those who farmed.
The fiercer he shouted, the less confidence he had.
Seeing Fan Jin's good attitude, Butcher Hu's mood inexplicably improved.
Pointing the butcher knife in his hand, Butcher Hu said,""Let's go to the grocery store to take a look. Big Sis has been nagging a few times, saying that the white sugar is almost sold out.”
"Soon, soon."
Fan Jin naturally would not tell Butcher Hu about his plans.
The reason why he was being so respectful was just to abduct his daughter.
If he wanted to take Xiao Hua away with the basin, he could be more respectful.
In just a few steps, he arrived in front of the grocery store. Hu Yingying was supporting her chin with her hand as she looked at the bustling market in a daze.
The young girl's hair was not combed neatly. Her slightly yellow hair hung down on her delicate and fair neck. The light from before noon shone on her fair and handsome face, making her look exceptionally moving.
There were originally customers in the shop, but Hu Yingying didn't greet them enthusiastically, so the customers left.
Fan Jin looked. There was still some white sugar in the reserve. There was indeed not much left.
He coughed lightly.
Hu Yingying was slightly shocked and turned to look.
Hu Yingying's eyes lit up when she saw him. Then, her eyes became watery.
"Why are you crying…"
Fan Jin was a little flustered.
He was a straight man who couldn't be any straighter in both his past and future lives. Fan Jin really didn't have the experience to deal with such a situation.
"Brother Fan Jin, why are you here?"
Hu Yingying turned her head. Her tears had already been wiped clean.
He still had a smile on his face.
It was just that her smile lacked the innocence from before.
It was somewhat forced.
Fan Jin composed himself and began to talk about what he had been busy with recently.
Clean up the new house, brew wine, read books, take the county examination…
Hu Yingying's eyes lit up as she spoke.
When she heard Fan Jin mention that he wanted to buy the Wu Family Village and was preparing to open a winery and a sugar factory, Hu Yingying listened with a smile. The coldness and disappointment in the depths of her eyes were swept away.
Fan Jin mustered up his courage and said," With Old Man Hu's temper, I wouldn't dare to say anything to him unless I'm a scholar…Chuang Tzu, winery, and sugar mill all need a female owner to preside over them. In the future, I'll be going on a study tour, the provincial examination, and the general examination…"
"Isn't that a few thousand miles away from home, and you can't come back even once every few years?”
"Officials don't have freedom.”
Fan Jin also thought of this.
He frowned slightly.
Emperor Hongwu's rules were very strict. He gave officials low salaries and poor treatment. He was not allowed to bring his family members with him when he was an official in another place.
If that was the case, his mother and Hu Yingying would have to be abandoned in the South China Sea, and he would have to be an official thousands of miles away alone, receiving a few dozen taels of silver as his salary…and even having to be converted into banknotes.
Why did you come?
It seemed that after the imperial examination, he should plan well and see how to achieve both ends.
Hu Yingying smiled.
He looked at Fan Jin.
There was a profound change in the young Langjun's temperament.
In the past, she was quite good-looking, but she was rather deep and dull.
After all, his father died when he was young and his family was poor.
But now, he was speaking with confidence and confidence.
But no matter how Fan Jin changed, Hu Yingying's love for him never changed.
She had stayed single for Fan Jin until he was thirty. This friendship did not need anything to prove it.
"Brother Fan Jin, why are you telling me these plans?”
The girl's eyes were full of smiles, but she said something insincere.
As she spoke, she twirled the corner of her clothes with her delicate hands.
He seemed to be blaming her, but he also seemed to be anticipating something.
At this moment, Fan Jin felt that the scenery in front of him was really beautiful.
