69 Chapter 69
"Master Hou is really ruthless, Lang Jun is only twelve years old, where is he going to go out to work?"
Xiaoling also followed Zhuang's mother into the door, but instead of serving Zhuang's mother, she followed Zhuang Yan's side, she complained in a low voice, while sorting out Zhuang Yan's clothes, these newly made clothes have to be tried, there are always one or two things that don't fit, after trying, hurry into the water, in order to be able to wear it tomorrow.
Zhuang Yan didn't bring most of the clothes before, the family background was really bad at that time, and Zhuang's mother was not good at the skill of cutting, and in the end she relied on Xiaoling to ensure that the family's wearing was not a problem, but such clothes did not even have an embroidered moire, how could it be worn out in the Hou Mansion, wouldn't it be as good as the next person.
Zhuang's father waved his hand, saying that he didn't need to bring it, just redo it, so a batch of new clothes was rushed out, and the time was in a hurry, and the clothes were not famous tailors, so there would naturally be one or two unsatisfactory places, which needed to be refined later.
Zhuang Yan only smiled when he saw these backhouse methods, he understood the wife he had just met, and anyone who saw his husband get a concubine room would not be in a good mood, not to mention that he also made a side product - the concubine came out, and the previous good story was like a slap in the face - whose wife was so jealous that she forced her husband to have an outer room.
All kinds of superimposed, even if it is a dignified housewife, she will be a little dissatisfied with this matter, not to mention that she doesn't have to do anything, this kind of trivial matter, as long as she doesn't care about it, the people below her don't dare to be too enthusiastic.
This is the power of the housewife.
"Men's families can't always sit idle in the family house, since they don't have the imperial examination, they naturally have to go out to seek work, which is also a family rule. ”
At that time, Guo Yihou deliberately set such an iron law in order to let future generations study and progress, if you study, Lao Tzu will raise you, even if you don't pass the exam in your life, Lao Tzu will raise you, but if you don't study, you will go out at the age of twelve to make money to support yourself, not from my heart, Lao Tzu will not raise.
Guo Yihou thinks that a twelve-year-old child can already be in charge, he joined the army at the age of twelve, so he set this age as the starting point for making a living, and now Zhuang Yan is at this age, before him, forced by this rule, the children of the family are taught by their mothers to study hard, even if they have no talent for reading, no one dares to say that they will not take the imperial examination.
Zhuang's father is a special case, but he still has a reputation as a talented man who can be explained, although it is not so loud, but he can also block Lao Tzu's mouth under the protection of his mother.
What does Zhuang Yan have? What can he compare with this? Naturally, he can only honestly abide by the rules, and according to the rules, at least he can protect him from other persecutions, not to mention anything else, if he leaves the inner house, even if he is not liked by the housewife, he will not be easily controlled.
"That's too small. Xiao Ling pouted, where is there such a rich and noble family, this is still the Hou Mansion, who believes it.
Zhuang Yan smiled and said kindly: "It's always like this, I'm going to take a look, my grandfather may have arranged something good to do." ”
Guo Yihou has already handed over his military power, retired at home, and his sons are incapable, although his grandson has entered the court, he is not related to military generals, he has very few connections, and he has been looking for a long time to find an errand, there is no formal grade, at most he is a small official, but he has some relationship background and runs errands with Jing Zhaoyin.
Zhuang Yan followed Zhuang's father to meet the Jingzhao Yin Tang Lord, this adult is wide and fat, he looks like a kind person, and he doesn't speak in such a tone, the official of the fourth grade has no shelf when he sees anyone, even if Zhuang's father is here on behalf of Guo Yihou, in the end, he is a white body, but he doesn't mind calling him "virtuous nephew" at all, and he promised to stay with Zhuang Yan.
When Father Zhuang left, he didn't change his face immediately, but asked Zhuang Yan with a smile about his intentions to see what he wanted to do.
Zhuang Yan doesn't want to take the imperial examination, he doesn't even want to be an official, and naturally he doesn't want to climb up from the position of a small official.
Being able to put Jing Zhaoyin's position in prison at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lord Tang is a smart person, Zhuang Yan negotiated in a few words, and the two tacitly reached a tacit understanding, there are so many people in the yamen, it is obviously not that there is no idle meal, in this case, what can one more person eat idle food?
Understood that it was not a hot potato, Lord Tang was also willing to have a personal favor, and said to his staff with a smile, arranged by the staff surnamed Chen.
Chen's staff is also extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and there is no shortage of idlers in all departments under Jing Zhaoyin, he said with a smile: "I heard that the boss said that Xiao Lang is quite talented in the name of the sentence, and knows the wonder of recognizing relatives by dropping blood, how about being in the torture room?
"Lord Chen's arrangement is naturally good, and it couldn't be more suitable. Zhuang Yan had already swept around the torture room as he spoke, it was indeed clean, there were only two or three kittens in total, and the others were all subordinates of the officer.
Before leaving, Staff Chen also said that because he was young, he could take care of his body and not need to be nod. This means that you don't have to punch in at work, you can go to what time you want, you can get off work at what time you want, and you can even go around without coming around.
Enjoying the benefits of civil servants, not having to go to work to deal with chores, and facing complaints and disputes, Zhuang Yan couldn't be more satisfied.
Because he is young, and he clearly came in through the back door, and he is not ready to compete for power with the people in the torture room to grab the quota, these old people in the torture room are very kind to him, and within two days, everyone called him "Xiaolang", which sounded very kind.
Jing Ji thought about it, impatient to stay in the Hou Mansion every day, Zhuang Yan was diligent at work every day, but he didn't have any specific affairs, and he didn't want to drink tea, chat, eat and drink like those people to pass the time, so he simply looked through some old case files, these complaints are actually quite interesting, and they don't seem boring, they are all suspenseful stories.
In his opinion, the approval of some old years is also wonderful, and there are strange things in each Jing Zhaoyin's case, and there was once a matter of fighting for a fan between the two families: a fan is disputed, and the injury is not tolerated. If you want to restore the old time, this fan is with the wind (liao).
At that time, the result was on the other side, the adult directly tore the fan and burned it with fire, a hundred, the two families were dumbfounded, and one of them cried even more, it was an antique fan!
Maybe the staff at that time was in a hurry, or maybe the adult was so clever that he could see which one was the real owner of the fan from the different reactions of the two families, and ordered the other family to compensate.
As for whether the torn antique fan is real or fake, and how much it was worth, there is no public opinion, and I don't know how the compensation was made in the end.
Anyway, with this experience, there are very few similar cases in that adult's tenure, and probably even the bitter master is afraid that the economic disputes will be endless.
Of course, there are also wise ones, similar to looking at goose poop and breaking geese. Others, as Chen staff said, the real big and important cases will not be put in the management of Jing Zhao Yin.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the Criminal Department is here, and the Dali Temple is in, these are all in charge of the criminal name, if there is a case, most of them will be mentioned there, and some people also know this truth, and the complaint will not go this way.
"If you can still count the population of the household and check the accounts, what about us? Every day is these trivial things, the adults are not happy to look at them, and the Chen staff is too lazy to care, and they don't need to be promoted, and they can be broken casually. ”
"But isn't it, look what I can do this day? Come and take a roll call, and then just sit and wait, from dawn to dark, I can't see two figures, I don't even have a chance to pluck my hair, I'm really idle and I'm going to get hairy. ”
"I was quite nervous when I heard that I was going to come to the torture room, thinking that I would have the opportunity to see some corpses, and I was afraid that I would be too timid to see them, but here I have ...... Well, it's been more than a year, and what I saw was a dead cow, tsk, but the beef tasted really good. ”
"It's good to be idle, but I can't even find a door to get started, there's no case, we don't even have a chance to perform, if it weren't for Xiaolang, you came, I thought our room would be forgotten by adults." ”
"But no, Xiaolang, since you have a background, why did you come to our room, don't say anything else, this is really not progressive! I see that you have a family background, and you have your own talents, and we can't compare with that pen, and the market still says that your painting is excellent, why can't you take the exam and become a big official!"
Zhuang Yan smiled and said: "What's so good about being a big official, tired and tired, it's not as good as what I am now, I don't lack money to spend, I have something to do, leisurely and leisurely, isn't it good to live a lifetime?"
Guo Yihou's family rules are strict, which makes people afraid when they hear it, but Zhuang Yan found that this is nothing, Hou Ye did not give him monthly silver on his face, but Zhuang's father will give him pocket money every month, carefully calculated, it is not less than monthly silver, food, clothing and housing in the house, everything in the public account has his share, good or bad is always passable.
In this way, he has no hobby of burning money, in order to support his painting career, Zhuang's father also specially sent a complete set of painting tools and paper, which will never be used up in a short time, so what else can be done?
Every day when he came to work, Zhuang Yan brought a simple folding easel made by himself to a craftsman, and began to paint flowers and plants in the yard.
Jing Zhaoyin's yamen is as strong as the capital, how many years of old yards, a tree planted casually back then, can now be hugged, not to mention some flowers and trees transplanted later, some precious varieties have been thrown into other yards because the next one is illiterate, so cheap Zhuang Yan, there is no shortage of painting materials at all, just against a plant of orchid, you can paint for most of the day.
I have to say that in terms of killing time, painting is really good, and his daily paintings will be taken away by Zhuang's father, and he is willing to give more pocket money to look at these paintings, otherwise he would have to protest against his son working all day for such a waste of time.
Zhuang Yan is also willing to exchange a painting for Zhuang's father's care, not to mention anything else, at least in the back house, with Zhuang's father's care, Zhuang's mother's life will be better.
In fact, she has such a temperament, if she gets along with her mother for a long time, and her mother is smart and understands, she will not be targeted, she is a little white flower, and she has no combat power of a little white flower, except for the hum, nothing else.
And the pear blossoms when they were young brought rain, and when they were old, their appearance decayed, and naturally they would not see anywhere, and they could not get the pity of Zhuang's father.
The key is that at this time, Zhuang Yan is not always in the house, and he can only use this method to indirectly take care of Zhuang's mother. 166 Reading Network
