There is a saying that says: "Poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives!" When Fan Jinzhongju was actually the same reason, when Fan Jinzhongju was raised, many people knew that he would become a high official in the future, so many people came to bother him. Before Fan Jin didn't win the lift, almost no one looked up to him, and the family was so poor that they couldn't open the pot. When Fan Jinzhong lifted, it completely changed.
For example, before Fan Jin did not win the lift, his father-in-law Hu Butcher looked down on him and scolded him, saying that he had fallen unlucky and married his daughter to a disgraceful guy. After he took the township exam without travel expenses and wanted to borrow money from the old man, he was scolded to the point of bloodshed. On the day of the list, Fan Jinzhong lifted people, gongs and drums were noisy, and the villagers gathered in his home to watch the liveliness. When they knew that he did not have rice oil and salt in his house, some of them took eggs, wine, or rice to him. Even the local squire, knowing that he was in the middle, came to see him in a petite and kowtowed to him. Seeing that he was poor, he gave him fifty taels of silver, and also sent him a mansion to live in. After Fan Jinzhongju, his identity was immediately improved, and it can be said that he has soared since then. In ancient times, lifting a person also meant that one foot had already stepped into the career path, and even if it was not successful in the future examinations, there was an opportunity to become a scholar or a county. Therefore, by two or three months, Fan Jin's slaves and servants will have them, and there will be no need to say money and rice. Even the local squire urged him to move, waiting for Fan Jin to move to the new house, singing, setting up wine, and entertaining guests for three days in a row.
Fan Jinzhong would become an official after he was raised, and at that time, being an official indicated that he had the right to have money. The rich people in the local area will come to him, and they will do things well in the future, and maybe they will have another way to make money. In fact, this is also a kind of irony of the society at that time. If the people of ancient times wanted to become rich and prosperous, the only way to do so was to take the road. After the lifting, you can enter the career path, and from then on, you can soar to the top, eat and drink, and have no worries about food and clothing. In the "History of Ru Lin", the author Wu Jingzi used Fan Jin to satirize the figures at all levels of society at that time, down to the common people, up to the officials and nobles. As an ordinary person, if you want to be respected, it seems that there is only one way to go. Other than that, there is no other choice. Therefore, many ancients, even if their heads are broken and bleeding, will take the examination and seek an official and a half-position, so as to honor their ancestors.
In fact, Fan Jin was originally the epitome of the low-level people, and he was also a no-name pawn, who had no power and no power in the local area. It can be said that the family is surrounded by four walls, and there is no travel fee for the exam. But after the middle lift, the fate changed suddenly. The purpose of the local famous people coming to curry favor with him is to win him over, but also to seek a way of wealth for himself, so that he can do a good job after becoming an official. Therefore, some squires paid bribes to him. This irony actually works at all times, and power is a sign of money. Perhaps everyone also understands that when you are beautiful, everyone is stuttering, and when you are down, the world is leaving you. This has been the case since ancient times.
