Although Gui Yuxia calmly accepted the matter of being an official, the people of the Gui family could not calm down. The Gui family had already learned the news from their neighbors, and they still couldn't believe it, how could their family, which had been farmers for generations, become an official? Or is it a woman as an official? However, when I think about it, this city lord is the county lord, so it's still a little girl, and the deputy city lord is also a woman, so it's not surprising that the officials below have a woman. Besides, the deputy director of the engineering department is in charge of the craftsmen. Originally, Gui Yuxia was in charge of these female workers, but she didn't have an official position before, but in fact, she did the same work.

However, this could not stop the excitement of the Gui family. They hurriedly sent someone to the geography of Da Niu to find Da Niu to report the good news, and at the same time told these relatives in Qingchun City. These relatives are feeling complicated. Most of them are happy moods. They were able to come to Qingchun City, but in fact, Gui Yuxia pulled them over. Gui Yuxia has become an official, so she can take care of them in the future, can they not be happy? How old is the official of the sixth grade, anyway, it is bigger than the county order. You must know that in the eyes of these villagers, the village chief is a very big official, a six-grade official, this is a big man they can't even think of, and now he is his relative, how happy it is.

Of course, there are also those who are worried in their hearts, such as Gui Jinxia's mother-in-law, she was deprived of the right to be a housekeeper, and now she is a daughter-in-law who is a housekeeper. It's already very faceless. Also, the daughter-in-law is making more and more money, she is a mother-in-law, she can only do some housework, and she has no ability to make money, so she has long been anxious. Now, Gui Jinxia's eldest sister is an official again. Is this worth it? In the future, the daughter-in-law's backstage will become harder and harder, and the day when she will regain the power of the housekeeper is getting farther and farther away.

In addition to her thoughts, Gui Yinxia's future mother-in-law is also worried. Her daughter-in-law has not yet married, and her mother's family has already produced an official, so in the future, can she still handle her daughter-in-law? And also. She can now sit at home and do housework. With children, his son is only cultivating on the land he bought, but Gui Yinxia works in the workshop. I get a monthly money every month, and I heard that I want to become a first-class embroidery girl who can get a tael of silver every month. A tael of silver a month, what a lot of money? Before, they were in the time of Da Chu. A year of hard work may not necessarily save a silver tael. Now that the daughter-in-law can get it back in a month, how can she discipline the daughter-in-law in the future?

These people's careful thinking, the big bull doesn't know. However, the joy in Da Niu's heart could not be concealed. He came back with the Japanese slaves in advance, and today is a great event. Don't work anymore, happy day. He looked. Gui Yuxia hasn't come back yet, thinking about it, she wants to go to thank the county lord, and the county lord must have something to say, so Da Niu opened the money box, took out the silver paper, and asked her father-in-law and mother-in-law, as well as the two brothers-in-law to help, buy vegetables, buy meat, and clean up some wine and vegetables, so as to wait for Gui Yuxia to come back in the evening to celebrate.

For the Japanese slaves in the family, he was not stingy, and when he encountered such a big happy event, he gave each of them a reward of 200 big money, and also took a day off, and also cleaned up a house of wine and food for them. When these slaves heard that the mistress had become an official, they were all happy, although they were slaves, but they had only sold themselves for ten years, and they still had to get a monthly payment every month for ten years.

The bull treats people kindly, fairly, justly, and does not delay wages again. The food at home is also very good, and you can eat meat once every few days. This is a good day that they can't even imagine in their country. They were all glad to have found such a good home. Now, this master is even more incredible, they have all become officials, and a few of them are active-minded, while eating delicious wine and food, while thinking about whether it is better to send a letter back to China, and tell the wife and children of the family, as well as relatives, who also came to Qingchun City to join their own masters. Now the master is in the entrepreneurial stage, I heard that there is also a need to recruit Japanese slaves, but also to find a mother-in-law to cook, after this, become an official, must need a lot of people, if their own family can come over, find something to do in this house, that is not the earliest slave, in the future, this family has grown into a family, their own slaves are the elders, maybe they can be a steward, housekeeper and the like. Even if you don't count the treatment of having children in a mixed family.

As soon as Da Niu cleaned up the wine and food, Gui Yuxia hadn't come back yet, and someone came to congratulate them, these people were all relatives of their own families at first, and most of them took some vegetables, meat and other things to congratulate. Later, some craftsmen came, most of whom were people from their families who worked in Gui Yuxia's workshop, and they also brought things to congratulate them. Most of them were eating, and some people brought silver paper to wrap red envelopes, and a few gave cloth, eggs, and other things, and the big cow was busy entertaining them to eat.

was busy here, Gui Yuxia came back, her face was full of joy, she was stunned when she saw so many people in the family, and Da Niu hurriedly told her what happened. Gui Yuxia was originally afraid that Da Niu would be an official because she was an official, don't be uncomfortable, after all, which big man likes his wife to be an official, and he is a farmer. But when she got home, she saw Da Niu's beaming smiling face and the grand celebration made for her, Gui Yuxia was deeply moved.

The husband and wife didn't bother to talk to each other, because there were many guests, and the two were busy entertaining. It wasn't until the dead of night, when the guests were gone, and with the help of Mrs. Gui and her relatives, all the things were put together, and the husband and wife fell down on the bed exhausted.

Gui Yuxia came just in time to say to her husband: "Brother Niu, thank you so much." Thank you for celebrating me. Thank you for not being upset because I was an official. ”

Da Niu smiled and said, "How can I be unhappy? Your official, if you don't do it, you're working for the county lord. Our family has received great favor from the county lord, if I hadn't sent a doctor to treat me, maybe, I won't be able to stand up in this life, where can I still marry a daughter-in-law and live the current life? The bigger you are, the more work you can do for the county lord, so that we can feel more at ease. ”

Gui Yuxia hurriedly said, "I think so too." Therefore, I am not happy or unhappy about being an official, and I don't have the feeling of honoring my ancestors, but I just feel that I can give more things to the county supervisor in the future and repay the great kindness of the county lord. If I didn't have the support of the county lord, I would still be living a lonely life in the deep palace, how could I stay with my parents and family like I am now, and I would still be close to you. ”

When she said the latter sentence, Gui Yuxia's face was flushed, and she looked at Da Niu shyly and timidly, Da Niu suddenly felt a wave in his heart, and couldn't help but put his arm around Gui Yuxia and blew out the lights.

The next day, Gui Yuxia was preparing breakfast, and Da Niu saw that the Japanese slaves had not yet come, and there were no outsiders around, so he said to Gui Yuxia: "Let's invite two people to do housework for us earlier." Now you still have to manage the embroidery workshop, but also manage the affairs of the engineering department, where can you have time to do housework, now there are more people in the family, there are ten slaves alone, there is a lot of work, where can you finish it. ”

This mentions, Da Niu said many times, Gui Yuxia has always disagreed, in order to save some money. However, this morning, as soon as Da Niu said this, Gui Yuxia put down the work in her hand and pulled Da Niu into the room. Da Niu asked inexplicably: "What are you doing?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "I wanted to tell you something yesterday, but I forgot about it, so I'll tell you now." ”

Da Niu hurriedly sat down and listened.

Gui Yuxia didn't speak, but went to the small box next to her and took out a stack of silver paper and handed it to Da Niu. Da Niu was a little puzzled, hurriedly took it and counted it, and suddenly took a breath: "This is six hundred taels of silver paper?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "This is the money I issued yesterday when I became the director of the engineering department, and the county lord said that it can be withdrawn in advance or on a monthly basis. Early withdrawal can be withdrawn for half a year. When I became this official, I could receive 100 taels of silver paper every month, and in addition, I could also distribute 5 catties of meat, 5 catties of rice, 5 catties of noodles, as well as 5 loads of firewood, a bag of sugar, and a horse of cotton cloth every month. In the future, if there is a festival every year, there will be a festival fee. ”

Da Niu was stunned and said, "This is too much, right?" Although I don't know how many officials of Da Chu have, I don't think it's as high as this. Like, you're just a six-grade official, right? ”

Gui Yuxia said: "I used to be the grandmother of the eighth grade in the palace. Therefore, I know very well that the officials of the Great Chu do not have more than one-third of them. ”

Da Niu asked strangely: "Then why did the county lord give you such a high salary?" ”

Gui Yuxia said: "The county lord said that the salary given by Da Chu to officials is too low, so corruption is common among officials in Da Chu, and almost every official has to be corrupt and bribed, even her father is not exempt from vulgarity. The consequences of this are very strict, you see that the officials of Dachu don't think about how to manage the people, how to do things for the people, and how to do things for the court, those officials just think about how to be corrupt and take bribes all day long, how to scrape the ground, how difficult the people's lives are? The imperial court was also short of money everywhere. Instead of this, she should give her officials a high salary, but we will never be allowed to embezzle. After a while, she will also set up a supervision department to prevent corruption, and if it is discovered, it will be severely punished. In this place, it's all up to her, and she can kill whoever she wants. If she finds out that she is corrupt, she will definitely not be merciful. However, if she works diligently and lives honestly, she will not let honest people suffer, so she gave us such a high salary, and we can withdraw it in advance. ”

Da Niu didn't understand it for a while. (To be continued)
