Chapter 8 The family is gradually empty

With this realization, Jin Liu, who originally planned to hide half and say half of it, and saw the benefits of chopsticks, immediately dispelled the wishful thinking. He almost gushed out the news and information he had heard from the iron shoes.

It turned out that Xu Liu, who has now been promoted to the experience of the division, because of the relationship between the clan and the sideline, did not stand out when he was young, although he later won the show, but he was also twenty-six years old and left his childhood career, which is far inferior to his predecessors. Only he took the township exam twice and won the promotion, and then he became the chief bookkeeper step by step, and found a position as the governor of the experience department in Yingtianfu. For the most important people who are born in the imperial examination, he, who is not from the right path, has only been an official for nine years and has reached this point, which can be regarded as a very good skill.

It's just that Xu Zhen's family background is not solid, and the experience department is only a government office in charge of miscellaneous matters such as archives and documents. But even so, it can be said that it is very rare for a person from Nanjing to be able to find such a position in charge of the first division locally. According to Jin Liu's guess, this Xu Liu, who has a very good reputation in Taipingli, doesn't know how much money he has spent on this.

"I see."

After Jin Liu's tirade, Xu Xun just stingily gave these four words concisely and to the point. It's just that his shot is much more generous than his words, and he directly asked Rayson to reward Jin Liu's money. Sure enough, Jin Liu, who was holding the heavy green worm, suddenly patted his head vigorously at the door, and turned back.

"Look at the little surname, and even forget to get down to business." Jin Liu didn't seem to realize that he had suddenly changed his name, his face was full of remorse and shame, "It is said that the eldest master and the third master and the fourth master have discussed, and everyone will share some of the dividends of the family property, and give the sixth master one percent." This news was probably deliberately released, so the small one inquired, and as for how many congratulatory gifts to send at that time, everyone was secretive.

As for the adults mentioned last time, a few other drivers will appreciate it, and it is said that the fifth young master of the Da Yin family is ready to come and see the fun, so even if the second Yin and the third Yin don't come, the younger generation will have to come. The place where the banquet was held was the Kuiyuan Building on Gongyuan Street, which was originally the place where the sons went to the department. It's just that the sixth master likes elegance, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, famous calligraphy and painting, etc., of course, if the good words and sentences of the young children in the clan can get his praise, it is also a matter of face. It's just that it is said that the eldest master released his words, saying that you would be embarrassed if you went, so you were not counted in it at all. ”

"Well, you've been very thorough. After going back, I rested early, I worked hard today, and I went out with me early tomorrow morning. ”

This time, Xu Xun nodded thoughtfully, but asked Ruisheng to send Jin Liu out of the second gate, and then locked it. Although he didn't have a clock, and he hadn't gone out to see the old copper dripping in the bright room, he knew that it was not early now, and although he took off his shoes and sat on the bed, he was half sleepy. While he was groaning, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and after a while, Latham returned.

It's just that compared to the previous time when he rewarded the sixth sister-in-law, his face was obviously even more unsightly, so Xu Xun only glanced at it and smiled: "As the old saying goes, the daughter will come back after dissipation, don't feel distressed." ”

"The young master said it easily. The family's monthly expenses plus the monthly money of Jin Liu's brother and Jin Liu's sister-in-law are four or five taels of silver, but since I have been in charge of the money, just the young master, you have taken it out, and there are one hundred taels before and after. The remaining dozen taels of silver were barely enough until the end of the year, but they also had to prepare favors for the fourth master. Young master, you made such a big move, how did we spend the second half of the year? ”

Hearing that Ruisheng was in good order, Xu Xun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he is now called a young master, if you want to talk about the situation, not to mention that it can't be compared with when he was a young man in his previous life, it is even worse than when he was the most depressed. But there are only a few people in the family, and even if he uses it flexibly, he will have to pay the corresponding price. Although Jin Liu will not work hard in some things in order to have a safe place, he must tie people to a point of interest. There is only harm and no benefit, will people not jump into the water to save themselves when they see the boat sinking?

Therefore, he raised his hand and motioned for Ruisheng to sit down, and then he said, "How much money do we have left?" ”

These two words made Latham and Watkins feel a lot more comfortable. After counting with his fingers, he said seriously: "There are still four pieces of money, a silver ingot of ten taels, plus more than three taels of broken silver, and last year's new treasure banknote is about two hundred yuan." ”

Although this is a different measurement number, Xu Xun is no longer the first time he has come to your land, and he has a number in his heart. One tael of silver is said to be exchanged for consistent money, but it is definitely not more than enough in the market, and the value of two hundred yuan of treasure banknotes is only around one tael of silver, only a little. According to this calculation, the cash around him is only about 20 taels at most, which is equivalent to 60 stone of white rice, which is not a small amount, but it is by no means a lot. He could only blame someone who was too loser, otherwise he wouldn't have been so nervous at hand.

"It's okay, there will be gain. Today is just a small amount of money, and even big profits cannot be given up as a last resort. Seeing that Ruisheng was in a hurry and wanted to persuade again, Xu Xun yawned, "It's so late, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it tomorrow." By the way, you have worked hard today, there is no reason to only reward you with six rewards, you go to the cash box and take one or two pieces of silver, it will be regarded as a ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he only felt a gust of wind pass in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw that Rayson had already rushed out of the room in a rage. After a moment of stunnedness, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and lay down with his hands on his pillow.

That Jin Liu is slippery and shrewd, and it's not easy to use it if he doesn't have money, but Rayson is loyal and dedicated!

Early the next morning, Ruisheng still appeared in front of Xu Xun on time, but he said a lot less. But when Xu Xun, who had changed his clothes, mentioned buying cloth and asking people to make a few short-sleeved shirts, he immediately shook his head into a rattle: "Don't waste money, just buy a standard cloth, my mother taught me to tailor back then!" ”

"Well, I'll leave the cloth and the tailor to you." Xu Xun left all these trivial matters to Ruisheng without saying a word, and then turned around and walked out. When he came to the door, he felt that his sleeve was being pulled, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was Latham standing there with a sad face, and he smiled, "What, what else do you want to remind?" ”

"How dare I tell the young master......" Rui Sheng muttered sullenly, and then said, "Anyway, the young master has a lot of eyes, Sixth Brother Jin is not authentic, God knows what to coax the young master, don't believe what the young master said." ”

"Got it, got it."

Xu Xun almost wondered if this young boy who liked to nag was a man, so he immediately stepped out of the threshold after agreeing repeatedly. Now it is the beginning of March, Jiangnan said that it is spring flowers, but the early morning is still warm and cold, Xu Xun Shi Ran came to the second gate, only to see that Jin Liu had already been waiting in the courtyard outside, at this time, the steps that greeted him were running fast.

It's probably never been a time to go out with Xu Xun, and Jin Liu is tidy up today. A standard cloth shirt of natural color, a pair of mille-feuille shoes, all of which were washed clean, and a small hat was buttoned on his head. After stepping forward, he saluted with a smile, and then rolled up his sleeve tube in half as if he instinctively moved: "Young master, we are ......"

"Go to the Shen family in Taipingli."
