Xia Yun carried two strings of medicine bags from the pharmacy, and hurried to the market to buy some meat, vegetables, rice and grain, although the amount was not light, but he did not feel tired at all. Xing Chong rushed back to his low adobe house in the northwest of the city.

The old father was old and frail, nearly 60 years old, but unfortunately he suffered from a cold and had no money for medical treatment, so that he had a splitting headache, and his wheezing and coughing became worse and worse, and his condition was worrying.

Wu Yu, the lady, has been sewing clothes for many years because of the maintenance of family expenses, so she suffered from dampness in her thirties, and now it is more serious and she is often bedridden.

Xia Yun wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve at the door, and pushed the door in with a smile, "Dad, I'm back!" I brought medicine back for you and Yu Niang, and I also bought pearl rice and meat dishes. ”

He Lao Tzu was lying on the bed in the inner room, but when he heard this, he came out stubbornly, and scolded him with a scolding "You bastard, loser, this house is the ancestral business, you dare to sell it, I will break your dog's legs!" ”

Xia Yun knew that his father had misunderstood, so he hurriedly said, "Dad, no matter how mixed I am, I can't sell my ancestral business!" If you don't believe me, check it out, the deed is still in your box."

He really went to the inner room to open the box and check it.

Wu Yu barely poked his head out and asked softly and eagerly, "Xianggong, where did you get the money to grab the rice and grain you bought for medicine?" ”

Xia Yun hurriedly cleaned the medicine pot, first made a fire for his father to fry the medicine, and then used the big clay pot to cook rice and vegetables.

While busy, he said, "I met a Mr. Han today, and I wanted to hire a bookkeeper, and I was found to help." I thought about it three years before the exam started, and it was not in the way that I could help with some accounting affairs in the past two years. ”

His father heard it from behind, and asked while coughing, "Which Master Han?" What do you do to make a living? ”

Xia Yun was stunned, yes, this old man Han only said about the Han Mansion in the northeast, but he didn't say what he did, whether he was an official or a businessman. However, looking at the man next to him, it should be the old man of the iron shop, and it is estimated that eighty percent of him is also in the iron business.

He said that Master Han and Mr. Qian of the iron shop were friends, and eighty percent of them were also in the iron business, and their home was five miles northeast of the city. When I settle down at home, I will go to Hanfu tomorrow to do things.

At this time, his father's face was better, but he still muttered, "A big showman, making a bookkeeping for the vendors, the world is going down!" But he also understands that now that there is no water and rice at home, he and his daughter-in-law are sick, and if his son doesn't go to find something to do, will he really starve to death?

Wu Yu is delicate, his father-in-law and his own medicine were heard to be thirty times a day ago, plus this vegetables, meat, rice and grain, who would give money without working? Thinking about it, he asked, "Did Master Han's family pay the wages first?" ”

Father Xia immediately came back to his senses, stood up and pointed to his son and asked what was going on.

"Dad, I originally wanted to wait for you to eat for a long time" Xia Yun hurriedly handed over the rest of the money to Dad" I told the family situation, Master Han is very kind, so I advanced a year's salary for a year and gave our family a meal to see the sick. ”

Father Xia counted twice, handed over thirty-nine yuan bills and another four hundred and fifty copper bills, and his hands trembled with excitement, "Master Han, this is giving you fifty yuan in wages!?" ”

Xia Yun said, "Yes! After Mr. Han gave the money, he left, and only said that he would let me settle down the family affairs and then go to his house to do things. By the way, he also tested his son's knowledge, and came up with the questions of pheasant rabbit cage and pi. ”

These two questions may be difficult for others, but my son opened his mouth to answer them, and Master Han was very satisfied with it, and gave me a hundred yuan on the spot. I went to the doctor to pay off the consultation fee, and then went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and bought meat, vegetables, rice, and grain, and I didn't spend a penny. ”

Seeing that he looked like he was not a fake, Daddy Xia and Wu Yu finally let go of their hearts. Master Han really values Xia Yun's knowledge, but this is too generous, he can easily take out fifty copper bills to pay a year's salary in advance, which should be a big deal.

After a while, the aroma of rice and meat in the jar floated up, and the family of three showed a long-lost smile, they hadn't eaten meat for several years.

Xia Yun first filled a big bowl of dry rice with large meat slices for his father, and then served food to his daughter-in-law on the bed, watching them swallow it in a big gulp, and couldn't help but shed tears.

The daughter-in-law ate two mouthfuls and saw that Xianggong didn't eat, and when she looked at it again, she hurriedly asked, "Why don't you eat, Xianggong, are you crying?" ”

Xia Yun wiped a handful of tears and said with a smile, "Yu Niang, you have been wronged in the past few years, and I will be able to earn money in the future, and I will give you meat every day."

Wu Yu's eyes were red when he said this, and he turned his face away, and tears poured out. For fifteen years, the weather has been cold, stormy, and every day is washed and sunburned. When the year fell lightly, the root of the disease fell, and when it rained on a cloudy day, it was painful and I couldn't work.

Xianggong has been good at arithmetic since he was a child, but his poetry and writing are only at the middle and lower level, so he rushed to the Beijing exam five times, and the second place fell to Sun Mountain. On weekdays, a family is all pressed on their own shoulders, but now they are riddled with diseases, and they are really a little breathless.

Now that he is in a desperate situation, Master Han values Xianggong's knowledge and gives him fifty wages a year. In addition, if your body is better, you can find some sewing work, and you can use enough for a year's expenses. I want to take medicine to get better quickly, husband and wife are of the same heart, and their profits are broken.

This night, the three members of the Xia family slept peacefully and sweetly, and their dreams were full of visions for a better future.

Xia Yun woke up early in the morning and saw that Wu Yu's complexion was better, and he took care of his gray robe with few patches on the bed, preparing to go to Old Man Han's mansion today to be a little more decent.

Daddy was busy at the stove, the rice porridge was boiling in the jar, the flames were beeping, and the aroma of the rice soup was so wonderful.

The wife is virtuous, the family has money, rice and clothing, this is a good life!

Eating and drinking well, Xia Yun went straight to the Han Mansion in the northeast under the advice of his father and daughter-in-law. After asking for a long time, there was no Han Mansion, Xia Yun was a little confused, and in the end, there was only this three-in-three-link mansion left, and he mustered up the courage to step forward and knock on the door.

The sixth uncle yawned and put on his clothes to open the door, and asked, "Who is it so early?" ”

Xia Yun saw the sixth uncle, and hurriedly asked if this was the house of Master Han, yesterday Master Han asked him to come to the house to do things, and he said on his behalf, Xia Yun came.

The sixth uncle greeted him with a smile, it turned out that Steward Xia had arrived, so he hurriedly invited inside. Respectfully let Xia Yun go to the wing room, served good tea, called two handymen, two maids, and met the housekeeper of the Han Mansion.

Uncle Liu said, "Steward Xia, there are five of us in this courtyard now except for you." Liu Dong, Li Zhong, Xiaohong, Gui'er, they were all brought back by Lord Han yesterday. The maid is arranged in the backyard, the handyman is in the wing room in the front yard, and I live in the gatehouse. ”

"Lord Han?" Xia Yun was taken aback, how did a rich businessman become an official, how big an official is it?

The sixth uncle said that he felt the housekeeper, and he didn't know anything and came to the door, but fortunately, the adults placed the handyman yesterday and specially explained himself. Today, there will be a housekeeper surnamed Xia who will come to the house, just take care of the good entertainment, and wait for Han Wang to come back.

Immediately gave Xia Yun a detailed introduction to Han Wang's situation. Xia Yun was surprised again and again, it seems that his master is definitely going to soar, and he is already on an equal footing with the county at a young age.

People bought these 3,000 houses in one go, and their own 50 yuan is not a drop in the bucket, and their luck is too good! If Lord Han soars, being the housekeeper of the Han Mansion will be more popular than that of a petty official.

What's more, a few of us are the first batch of domestic slaves in the Han Mansion, as long as we are loyal, there is no need to say much about the benefits or something.

As soon as he entered the Han Mansion, it was as deep as the sea, and Xia Lang was a noble person from then on!
