Chapter 105: Then cherish the present
Chen Mingyang and Huanting spent the last two months like a little couple, and the next day, Chen Mingyang took Huanting to Huangshan to play. Zhou Qi saw that his sister's mood was improving, and he heard the guards say that Huanting came back with Chen Mingyang last night, although he was worried, but there was no better way to change the current situation, so he went with them. Chen Qianlang originally didn't want Chen Mingyang to get close to Huanting again, but Zhou Qi had just been demoted to a county order, and it was really inappropriate for the Chen family to respect the Zhou family, and Chen Mingyang had already made it very clear that the two were just friends, and in order to comfort the old lady, they had to agree to this seemingly strange way of getting along.
The two stood at the foot of the Yellow Mountain, Wan Ting looked up at the Yellow Mountain, which was about to enter autumn, and the Yellow Mountain became colorful.
"Let's go."
"I've been here, and I've gone up."
"Awesome." Wan Ting laughed unconsciously, Chen Mingyang had a smile on his face, the two looked at each other for a long time, and finally said, "Let's go." The two marched towards Huangshan step by step, Chen Mingyang walked behind Huanting, step by step, Chen Mingyang felt that the two were unprecedentedly intimate, and unprecedentedly distant. Wan Ting only lowered her head to climb the mountain, she didn't want to say anything, she didn't want to think about anything, just climbed the mountain.
At this time, in the Yamen of She County, Zhou Qi was sitting in the courtyard and drinking tea leisurely. Wu Yi hid behind the door and watched carefully, and Aunt Li was about to go out from behind her, "Wu Yi, what are you looking at?" ”
"Shh
"What's wrong?"
"Aunt Li, you said that Master Zhou is not strange, he has known the county since the prefect, and he can still drink tea leisurely?"
"Hey, I thought you were looking at something." Saying that, Aunt Li opened the door and went out, and did not forget to turn around and tell Wu Yi, "Hurry up and work, don't forget, you said that you have done all the work in this house." ”
"Oh, I'll do the work." Wu Yi and Aunt Li started to work together, Zhou Qi was still sitting in the courtyard drinking tea without any signs of doing anything, Wu Yi took a big broom and began to clean the courtyard, and the closer she swept away from Zhou Qi. In fact, Zhou Qi had already seen Wu Yi with his spare eyes, originally he didn't want to pay attention to Wu Yi, but in the end he couldn't bear it, "The soil is flying into my tea." ”
"Oh, I'm sorry, sir." Wu Yi hurriedly threw down the broom and ran to Zhou Qi's side, "I'll change a cup for you." ”
"You can pay for the tea."
"What?" Wu Yi hurriedly put down the teacup, "This, this, this pot can still be drunk, you don't need to make tea from scratch, I'll just change it to a clean cup for you." ”
"You're fooling me like that?"
"I didn't fool you." Wu Yi sat on the stone bench next to him, "Lord Zhou, you are now the prefect of the county, so how can you be as wasteful as the prefect, now, you have to be thrifty, you know?" ”
"Thrifty? I'm quite frugal. ”
"Are you still frugal? I used to see you make good tea into pillows, and I saw it with my own eyes, what a waste. Why don't you drink tea in the future, anyway, didn't you say that drinking water is the same as drinking tea? ”
Zhou Qi squinted at Wu Yi, "Do you know what nonsense you're talking about?" ”
"Yes, but it's not nonsense, it's sound advice. Lord Zhou, you see, your money must have become less, right? We can save a little
Point it. ”
"Hehehe, this official understands." Zhou Qi touched his nose, "Are you worried that the official won't have the money to pay you?" ”
Wu Yi smiled awkwardly and quickly explained, "How is this possible?" Lord Zhou. Wu Yi stood up and took a step away from Zhou Qi, "I'm not such a person, I, I'll do a good job." [*#爱奇文学 ...#最快更新]
"Of course you have to do a good job, you will now owe the official two taels of silver every month."
"Speaking of which." Wu Yi sat on the chair again and said courteously: "Hehe, Lord Zhou, didn't you say yesterday that you would consider giving me a raise?" ”
"Really?" Zhou Qi glanced at the teacup, "But now that the official can't even afford to drink tea, it seems that it is impossible to increase his salary." ”
Wu Yi was angry with Zhou Qi again, she didn't know what to say, so she simply got up and continued to work. As soon as Wu Yi picked up the broom, he quickly glanced at Zhou Qi and swept it up, and the dust suddenly flew up, and the entire yard turned earthy yellow. Zhou Qi hurriedly got up and fanned the dust with his hands, "Wu Yi! Wu Yi swept it twice, Zhou Qi hurriedly returned to the room, Wu Yi slammed the broom on the ground, and smirked.
At this moment, Zhang Ling walked in from outside the door, "What are you doing?" ”
Wu Yi was startled, and hurriedly threw down the broom, "Miss Zhang, you, don't come in yet, I'll just pour some water." Saying that, Wu Yi hurried the basin of water, Zhang Lingcai didn't care about her, and Zhou Qi was the key.
"Lord Zhou."
"Zhang Ling? Is there something wrong? ”
Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment and approached Zhou Qi, "Lord Zhou, yesterday." Zhang Ling quickly glanced at Zhou Qi, "Now, the whole of Huizhou has heard the news of your demotion, and it is yesterday that well-informed people have begun to express their uneasiness." Zhou Qi was most worried about this, and just about to ask about the situation, Zhang Ling hurriedly said: "But I have already appeased them, after all, Lord Zhou is the champion, this is the most important talent that the academy should cultivate, what do you think?" ”
"What do they say?"
Zhang Ling smiled lightly, "At first, they were still a little hesitant, but everyone saw what Lord Zhou did in office, although the emperor's holy decree said so, but everyone has a scale in their hearts, so everyone finally decided to act according to the original plan, and now all donations and materials have been in place, and the students have started classes early this morning." Please rest assured. ”
"That's good."
"Lord Zhou."
"Anything else?"
"It's nothing special, it's just that I'm thinking that Huanting isn't in a bad mood, I think it's better for me to take her out for a walk, so that she can be in a better mood."
"Oh, no need."
"I just wanted to help you with that."
"I know you mean well, but someone took her out."
"Oh. That's good, it's definitely good to go out for a walk. ”
Zhou Qi put the book on the table and finally sat down, "Is there anything else?" ”
Zhang Ling suddenly felt that Zhou Qi was sending off guests, and he originally planned to please Huanting first, but now that she is out, she has no record, so she has to retire. As soon as Zhang Ling came out, he saw Wu Yi cleaning up the yard. Zhang Lingji
After investigation, it became clear that Wu Yi first worked in the prefect's yamen, and later went to the Qian family for the monthly rate of ten taels of silver per month, and now he followed the county government for some reason. Zhang Ling was not in a hurry, and slowly walked to Wu Yi's side, "Wu Yi? ”
"Miss Zhang, be careful, these things have to be washed again, and those things, be careful not to trip."
Zhang Ling saw a large pile of bottles and cans on the ground, "Isn't this just from the prefect's yamen?" It's so close to the prefect's yamen, there's no need to wash it all, right? ”
"Right? I also said it, but Aunt Li said that it must be washed again, she felt that it was in the box, and it was dusty along the way, and it must be washed for the health of adults. ”
"That's right, is Aunt Li the one who was threatened by Yu Nian before?"
Wu Yi put down her work and quickly explained, "Miss Zhang, she is also for her son, besides, Lord Zhou said that he didn't blame her, and recruited her back to the prefect's yamen, so I think it's ......."
"Oh, don't get me wrong. Aunt Li is Lord Zhou's servant, and Lord Zhou said that it was okay, so naturally I wouldn't say anything. Just ......"
"What's wrong?"
"You also know, for example, you, you earned ten taels of silver in the Qian family, but now...... Oh, I didn't mean to ask how much money you make, but surely not as much as the rich family, right? This yamen is too, and now Lord Zhou has become the magistrate, and that month is ......"
"Well, really. Mr. Zhou couldn't give me a salary increase, and said that he couldn't afford to drink tea. ”
Zhang Ling almost laughed when he heard Wu Yi say that Zhou Qicha couldn't afford it, but how could Zhang Ling tell Wu Yi the truth. "Yes, Wu Yi, you see that Lord Zhou's income has decreased, but he still has to support such a large family, and I am anxious for my lord."
"Miss Zhang." Wu Yi wet her hands and stepped over the bottles and cans in one step, "Miss Zhang, is there any good way to make money?" ”
"Huh? I, oops, Wu Yi, I helped Lord Zhou raise donations for the school before, and you also know that the school here has just opened, and Lord Zhou over there has been demoted, and the businessmen in Huizhou hate me to death, what good business can I do now. ”
"Huh? So, are you okay then? ”
Zhang Ling pretended to look at Wu Yi aggrievedly, "Alas, but as the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, no matter what I do, there is still the Zhang family dragging me, and I will go back to Jinzhong if it's a big deal." But you......"
"Me? What's wrong with me? ”
"Wu Yi." Zhang Ling reached out and touched Wu Yi's hair, "I have no business to do in Huizhou for the time being, so I have to cut off some guys, although they are all dragging their families, but I can't help it." However, if I don't have any income, I have no choice, for example, I will get rid of those who are young and strong first, or you know, those who are old and young are likely to fight with me. Of course, there are also those old people who have been following me, and I don't want to fire them because of a temporary difficulty, after all, they are the most heartfelt. ”
"Miss Zhang, have you encountered suffering?" Zhang Ling didn't understand what Zhang Ling meant for a while, and thought that Zhang Ling really encountered some problems.
Zhang Ling looked at Wu Yi with sympathetic eyes and smiled slightly, "No matter what, if you don't have additional income, you have to save expenses, and it is reasonable to reduce some employees, I hope Wu Yi can understand." ”
Only then did Wu Yi understand, "You mean that Lord Zhou doesn't need so many servants now." ”
"Oh no, no, no, I'm talking about myself, my own buddy, and I hope you don't get me wrong."
Wu Yicai didn't care if Zhang Ling wanted to lay off the guy or not, she was thinking that she was about to roll up and leave, because these guards and chain housekeepers were brought by Zhou Qi from home, and Aunt Li was the only one who dragged the family with her, and she was the one who was in the prime of life. Wu Yi instantly had a sense of urgency, if he didn't have this job, Wu Yi would soon owe Zhou Qisi two taels of silver a month, plus the money he cheated him before, Wu Yi felt that he would not be able to turn over in his life.
Wu Yi was thinking about it, when Aunt Li came over, "Wu Yi, why don't you hurry up and wash it, standing so stupidly, adults will use it for a while, I see what you use?" ”
