Seeing this, the corners of Chen Lin's mouth twitched, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.

The royal etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, how could there ever be such a vulgar and embarrassing time? The official family meals are replaced after tasting the last two dishes, and there is a special meal and wine for every two dishes. There are dozens of dishes in a meal, and the official family is very elegant when you taste it.

And Chen Lin was in this Anle Hou Mansion, but he saw that the Queen Mother, the Hou Ye, the chief manager and others all had food residues on the corners of their mouths and grease stains on their hands, which was really unorthodox. There are also two girls who are waiting, and they are also eating meatloaf together in front of the Hou Ye and Niangniang, which is enough.

"Manager Ning, as the head of the palace of the Queen Mother, you should be cautious and self-disciplined. If there is anything inappropriate, you also have the duty to admonish. Chen Lin said lightly.

"The lower official knows that he is wrong, please forgive Gonggong Chen, and I will go in and pass it on to Niangniang and Hou Ye." Mr. Ning was worried, but the other party was the chief manager of the inner house, and he was the top boss.

But at this time, Fan Yu had already seen the two people outside the door in the main room, so he said to his stepmother: "Mother, there is another father-in-law, I think there is something in the palace." Let's eat slowly and listen to what he has to say. Chen Fang, take a hand towel. ”

The last time he entered the palace to congratulate Concubine Yang Shufei on her birthday, he had never seen Chen Lin, so naturally he didn't recognize it.

"Who's going to come over from the palace? Presumably, the official family is a little worried. Empress Dowager Li was a little disappointed and said: "Yu'er's meatloaf is very delicious, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Not long after my mother came, she wanted to urge me to go back, and I would go back to the palace later. ”

Since it was from the palace, Fan Yu also knew that he couldn't let his stepmother lose his manners, so he hurriedly took the handkerchief handed over by Chen Fang, and wiped the gravy and meat foam on his mouth and the oil stains on his hands for his stepmother. Then I changed it again, and wiped it myself.

Chen Lin watched from the outside and couldn't help frowning. The queen mother is the most noble person in the palace except for the official family. But in this Hou Mansion, she is like an old woman from an ordinary family. However, this Hou Ye is also filial, and he personally wiped the corners of his mouth and hands for the Queen Mother, which really warmed people's hearts.

Mr. Ning entered the door, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Hou Ye, and the chief manager Chen Lin of the Great Interior came to ask to see." ”

Fan Yu got up and said, "Manager Ning doesn't have to be so troublesome, I have already seen Manager Chen, please come in." Mother, it's Manager Chen who has arrived. ”

At this time, Fan Yu had a number in his heart, and knew that the person outside was Chen Lin who had heard of it.

"Oh, it's Manager Chen, come in quickly." Empress Dowager Li sat upright, but she also restored the prestige of the empress dowager of a country.

"I've seen the Queen Mother, I've seen the Hou Ye." When Chen Lin entered the door, he immediately saluted like a ritual.

Empress Dowager Li waved her hand and said, "Chen Lin is exempt, if it wasn't for you back then, how could there be an official family." If it weren't for your proof, how could I have returned to the palace smoothly now. Speaking of which, you are kind to me and the official family. In front of the official family, it is the king of a country, and he must talk about the rules. In front of me, be casual, don't be so polite. Sit down and talk. ”

Fan Yu said to the two sisters, Chen Fang and Chen Yuan: "Show Manager Chen a seat." ”

The two girls lifted a chair and put it behind Chen Lin.

"Empress Dowager Xie gave the seat. After I have passed on the will of the official family, I will sit down and talk to the Queen Mother. An Le Hou Fan Yu received the order. Chen Lin listened to Empress Dowager Li's words, and she was also full of emotion, but now is not the time to speak, and she still has a task on her body.

"Chancellor Anle Hou Fan Yu, take the order." Fan Yu hurriedly bowed to Chen Lin.

He was muttering in his heart, let himself be an Anle Hou, but he didn't let him be an idle marquis of the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't know what position the official family had arranged for him.

"I Shao Ying's life, now I have the right to know the Kaifeng Mansion Bao Zheng's recommendation, and Yan An Lehou is good at military affairs...... Ordered Anle Hou Fan Yu to be sentenced by the governor of the Ordnance Manufacturing Institute, and admired this. After Chen Lin finished reading, he handed over the holy decree in his hand to Fan Yu, and at the same time there was a letter of confession and seal from the official.

With the confession and the seal, Fan Yu was able to enter and exit the Arsenal of Bianliang in the Great Song Dynasty.

Chen Lin called someone from the outside again, took a set of crimson robes and handed them to Fan Yu, this is the official uniform of the general judgment.

"Congratulations to Lord Hou, with the real difference, it represents the importance that the official family attaches to Lord Hou. In the future, as long as Hou Ye does his duty, he will definitely rise step by step. If there is merit, even this title may not be able to be promoted again. Chen Lin smiled and congratulated Fan Yu.

Fan Yu handed over all the things in his hand to Chen Fang, hugged his fist at Chen Lin and said, "Manager Chen, I have something to ask." ”

Chen Lin passed the decree, and at this time, he was light and light, and said very casually: "Lord Hou has a noble status, if there is anything you don't understand, you can ask." ”

"How many officials is my position of general judgment, and how much is it?" Fan Yu looked at Chen Lin and asked.

"Master Hou's official position is not low, he is a five-grade official, and he only has 20 yuan per month, and the rest has 30 stone monthly grain, including 15 stone each of rice and wheat. Twenty sheaves of firewood, forty sheaves of fodder, and twenty acres of fields without food. There is also 1,500 yuan of minister's money every month, and 100 yuan of additional money. In addition to these, every year there are 30 horses of silk, 10 horses of silk, 2 horses, 100 taels of silk and cotton, 15 scales of charcoal, and kitchen materials, meat, sauce and other things. I don't know if Hou Ye is still satisfied? Chen Lin is very familiar with these, and even lists them one by one for Fan Yu.

Fan Yu's mouth opened widely, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Da Song is so rich? The amount of money given to officials is so high that it is simply amazing. But after thinking about it, the minister's money and the additional money belong to the public expense, and if I put it all in my arms, I am afraid it is not very suitable. But that's it, it's not a little less, it's okay to eat and drink spicy.

Empress Dowager Li also nodded at this time and said: "My son should not be too little, if it is not enough for your expenses, my mother can give you some more money every month." In the palace, the mother doesn't need much, and the subsidy subsidizes you, even if the mother spends it herself. ”

Fan Yu hurriedly said: "Mother, don't say it again, the children are not too little, but I think there are too many." Where did I have this money before, but now I have so much money all of a sudden, and I am a little uncomfortable. ”

Chen Lin laughed, "Master Hou, since you are an official, it is impossible for you to bow down to everything." If this is a big mansion, it will have to raise a lot of servants. Now Hou Ye feels that there is a lot of money, but he is afraid that after a while, he will feel that there is less money. ”

"It's a lot, don't I still have a marquis's salary, that's from the third grade." Fan Yu smiled at Chen Lin.

"What Master Hou said is, but our family forgot to have this one. Hou Ye, who is from the third grade, is a knighthood, and there is no minister's money, but the rest will be more than doubled. Chen Lin couldn't help but laugh.

So much? Fan Yu couldn't figure it out himself. In addition to copper coins and jiaozi, there are also physical objects. Specifically, the officials of the Song Dynasty were relatively chaotic.

Fan Yu got out of the eyes of money with perseverance, and then remembered to ask the right thing, "Manager Chen, what is my governor of the Zuo Yuan in charge of?" ”

"There is no chief official in the Creation Academy, and it is only under the jurisdiction of the three divisions. Hou Ye, the governor, was supposed to be an overseer, but Hou Ye went to the Creation Courtyard, and he was the chief official. If there is anything, you can report it directly to the official. Chen Lin explained to Fan Yu.

This means that Fan Yu is the person in charge of the Creation Institute when he goes, and he is directly responsible to the official family.

It is equivalent to saying that Fan Yu is directly under the control of the official family, and he can go to the king at any time.
