Time continued, and five days later, a conspicuous notice appeared in conspicuous places all over the capital at the same time: Yanjing Morning Post is recruiting the editor-in-chief of the newspaper, editing and recording the newspaper, with various conditions and remuneration listed below, as well as the recruitment address, deadline and so on.

Chess alley in the west of the city, also posted a notice like this, here is a morning market, noisy and chaotic, bustling, there are people who come to buy vegetables, there are those who eat breakfast, all kinds of merchants also walk in the meantime, selling flower cloth, selling incense, selling snacks shouting loudly, you can surround a large group of people at any time, in the early morning, there is never a shortage of people here, this notice is posted here, it attracts everyone's attention when it arrives.
Some people are carrying vegetables, some people are biting half a bun, some people are holding children, all standing in front of the notice, both men and women, ordinary women, even if they are unmarried, there are not too many taboos, the door does not go out of the two doors, such a concept, far away from them, ordinary people do not have two doors at all, a total of two or three rooms, some even have no side rooms, there are firewood houses, palm-sized courtyards, push open the door of the house, it is the courtyard door, how can there be so many blind attention
Most of the people crowded in front of the notice were illiterate, especially the women, who were completely blind, but no one was worried about this, and there were always people who would read it out with good intentions or pretentiousness, and explain it to everyone, and this situation is not lacking everywhere, and it is the same here.
In front of the crowd, three scholar-like people shook folding fans, read the notice from beginning to end, and then exchanged looks.
"Brother Wang, this Yanjing Morning Post is not like a newspaper that excerpts Di Bao in the market, but there are a large number of editors-in-chief, editors, and records.
"I don't know this Brother Li, I haven't heard of the newspaper and the position of a reporter, what is this recording, it doesn't mean to extract the newspaper, so there is no need to recruit, just use a literate person"
"What Brother Wang said is reasonable, if it is some excerpts from the Di newspaper, how can the salary reach two taels, not to mention that there are other incomes indicated here"
"The salary of the editor is four taels, and the editor-in-chief actually reaches eight taels, and there are dividends, the owner of the Yanjing Morning News is really wealthy, but is the newspaper industry so profitable?"
"Don't you see, it is indicated that it is a new newspaper industry, which is completely different from those newspapers in the market, maybe it has its trick to making money, right?"
"How many other tricks can the newspaper industry have to make money?"
"It's not for you and me to know, Brother Wang, Brother Li, if you are interested in trying to hire, you see, the editor-in-chief only asks for Xiucai, and the editing and recording requirements are even lower, Xiucai and Tongsheng can rush to this salary, and it is worth a trip"
"Hehe, it seems that Brother Tian is moved, I won't join in this fun, I have to prepare for next year's Taoist exam, but Brother Wang, I wanted to get an errand a few days ago, and I will definitely go with you"
"I really want to hire, Brother Tian, let's go together later."
"It's fine."
These three scholar-like people talked to each other, and from time to time they were asked a sentence or two by the neighbors they knew well, but they were not the slightest impatient, there were questions and answers, and after a while, the people around them roughly understood, and many people dispersed, but there were people around them.
A slender woman carrying a basket of vegetables finished shopping, and when she came from that side, she saw the situation here, hesitated, and then walked over and stopped, looking up at the wall, and her lips twitched slightly, as if she could read.
This woman is seventeen or eighteen years old, combing a married woman's bun, beautiful and slender, so although she is dressed in a jinghai cloth skirt, she still does not hide her style, standing with the big girls and daughters-in-law next to her, which is obviously different, and has a feeling of standing out from the crowd.
She looked at this notice, her face gradually showed joy, the men around her looked at it intentionally or unintentionally, and even the three scholars stopped talking, turned around and glanced at the woman a few times, everyone is an old neighborhood, in fact, they all know this woman, know that this woman lives in this alley, just married the year before last, Xiang Gong is a weak scholar, last year's government exam, just passed the Tongsheng examination.
Speaking of which, this little couple is not well-off, it can be said that their livelihood is difficult, and their daily needs are poor, and they usually rely on women to do needlework or pulp laundry to maintain themselves, and these situations naturally fall in the eyes of their old neighbors, which can't help but sympathize, but more is the jealousy of this woman's husband, similar to why such a beautiful and virtuous woman belongs to a poor scholar like you, but I am not blessed to suffer such a psychology, and there are many people who are moved to covet it, but after all, they are all from a neighborhood, and they have some scruples, Moving the mind is returning to the mind, and there is no real action for the time being.
When the woman saw the notice, she left with her head bowed and walked into the alley.
Just walked a dozen steps, and a person behind him followed, "Zhang family lady, what a coincidence!" ”
The woman looked back, and recognized that the man who greeted her was the eldest young master Xie Gong Xie of Xie Ji Buzhuang on the front street, when she read the notice just now, this person was standing not far away, where was the chance encounter, it was clear that she had just left, and he also followed, but she still barely showed a smile, "It's Uncle Xie"
She knew that some men in the neighborhood had such and such thoughts about her, and this Young Master Xie was one of them, but what could she do, she could only deal with it carefully.
Her own official documents are very weak, and she doesn't want him to know about these troublesome things, so that she is distracted and even angry.
"Lady Zhang, let me see, what kind of dishes are you buying today?" Xie Gong looked at the woman's face as white as porcelain, secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and reached out to lift the fine gauze covering the vegetable basket, "Two pieces of tofu, one bamboo shoot Zhang family lady, your family's food is too frugal, not to mention buying fish and meat, at least you have to buy a few eggs."
When he said this, his expression and tone were exaggerated, as if he had discovered a great secret, the woman's face immediately turned red, speaking of which, she did not deliberately cover the vegetable basket with fine gauze to prevent people from seeing what she bought, everyone was the same, just to prevent dust, but now Xie Gong suddenly lifted the cover, and it was such an exaggerated performance, she did feel embarrassed.
"Hey, don't blame the lady of the Zhang family, it's me who is reckless," Xie Gong pretended to apologize, and said in a sincere tone, "However, the lady of the Zhang family, it's not that I'm too talkative, in fact, with your appearance, a delicate beauty, if it weren't for your poor husband, how could life be like this."
