Ye Zhengde frowned slightly: "This matter is not in a hurry, wait for me to get down to business first." ”

Turning his head to a man in green clothes next to him, he asked, "Brother Qian, what's wrong?" I asked you to inquire about it a few days ago, and now you have an eyebrow? ”

"Hey, what's that? I went to inquire, but you also know, not to mention other places, in our county alone, how many people are admitted to the examination? ”

The man in Tsing Yi stopped when he said this, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and saw Ye Zhengde staring at him.

Putting down the cup, he continued helplessly: "If there is such a good thing, it would have been occupied by those who have a doorway, where can we get our turn?" ”

"I inquired, and as expected, the position in the county government has long been full, not to mention adding a person, even a fly doesn't want to go in!"

Ye Zhengde asked again without giving up: "Don't you even have a person in charge of writing documents?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi glanced at him in surprise: "Of course not, although there is no serious grade, this kind of work is not something that many people can't ask for." ”

Ye Zhengde's face sank, which means that all the money he had before was spent in vain? It's a full five taels of snowflake silver!

When the man in Tsing Yi saw his expression, he seemed to be afraid that he would ask him for the silver that had already fallen into his pocket.

Coughed twice and said: "Actually, this matter is not impossible, I got a message the day before yesterday." ”

"There is still a person by the side of the county lord, who is responsible for registering the field tax, just if you want to get this job, the amount of silver needed is not a small amount, at least this amount?"

At the end of his words, he gestured.

Ye Zhengde looked at a finger erected in front of him, and said very confidently: "Ten taels? ”

The man in Tsing Yi laughed out loud: "Brother Ye is really good at laughing, it's a hundred taels, it may not be possible, you know, the people around Lord Xiancheng." ”

"This appetite is not small, if you want to be safe, you need to add at least half of the silver."

Ye Zhengde asked: "Since you inquired about this news, why didn't you say it just now?" ”

"Hey, I know your family background, brother, and you still have family to support, although you just won the show, but you don't have much silver in your hand now, right? That's why I didn't tell you about it! ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head, sighed and said, "Listen to my advice, don't think about this, honestly find a rich family in the county." ”

"Teach children to read well, not to mention easy, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking at home, how good, if you teach a famous hall again, you don't have to worry about the rest of your life!"

As soon as these words came out, the other two men at the same table echoed and said, "Brother Qian's words are reasonable, Brother Ye, we know that you are unwilling." ”

"But no matter how unwilling we are, we have to accept our fate, it has cost a lot of money for us to study at home, we can't let our wives and children have no food and clothing, right?"

Ye Zhengde frowned and did not speak.

If he is a talent in the normal examination, of course he knows that this is a good way out, if he becomes a teacher in a rich and noble family.

Not to mention the monthly money, let's just say that this is a New Year's holiday, and there will be no shortage of gifts given by others.

Although it is not possible to live a rich and expensive life, it is guaranteed that there is no worry about food and clothing, and the days of drinking and eating meat can be guaranteed.

But the problem is that he is not, if you let him teach others to read now, he is really afraid of being beaten out!

Thinking of something, a dark color flashed in his eyes, but he didn't speak immediately, but pretended to be okay and chatted with a few people.

It wasn't until it was getting late and everyone else was about to leave that he suddenly called out to the man in Tsing Yi: "Brother Qian, I have something to tell you." ”

The man in Tsing Yi hesitated, waved his hand at the other two, and sat down on the stool again: "Brother Ye, you haven't given up yet?" ”

Ye Zhengde smiled and said: "I have something else I want to ask Brother Qian, I don't know where to find the person you mentioned before......

............

The night is getting deeper, and most of the families in the county have already extinguished the candles and rested on the kang at this time, but in some places, it is the time to be lively.

Ye Zhengde stood outside the Meixian Courtyard, watched the movement inside the door for a while, turned his head and asked the man in Tsing Yi beside him, "Are you sure that adult is here?" ”

The man nodded: "There is absolutely no mistake, that adult has recently become obsessed with a lady in this courtyard, and he comes to cheer almost every day." ”

"It's still early in the morning, if nothing else, he should be in the hall watching the singing and dancing, and we can find him when we go in!"

"Okay, then let's go in and have a look." Ye Zhengde gritted his teeth and finally stepped forward.

In his heart, he felt sorry for his own money, and the silver in his hand was now getting less and less, and it was really unspent.

Entering the hall, his eyes swept around, and his eyes were full of surprise: "Hey, it's just a green building in a small county town." ”

"Why do I look at the appearance of the lady here, but it is even better than the one in the city?"

"Haha, Brother Ye, you've been away from home for a long time, and you don't know about it, right? This matter will start from a few months ago, let's go and sit down over there first, and I'll talk to you in detail. ”

The man in Tsing Yi hadn't been here for a few days, and at this time, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face, and pointed to a seat not far away.

The two walked over and sat down, Ye Zhengde remembered his purpose here, and his eyes swept around again, focusing on the men's faces.

"Brother Qian, where is the adult you are talking about?"

The man in Tsing Yi smiled and said: "I just saw it, he hasn't come here yet, let's wait here for a while, Brother Ye rest assured, he will definitely come today!" ”

Ye Zhengde nodded, and then talked about the topic just now: "Brother Qian hasn't said it yet, why does the lady here look so good?" ”

Speaking of this, the man in Tsing Yi showed a hint of interest on his face: "Brother Ye, have you heard of Chunlin Fat Powder Shop?" ”

Seeing that the other party shook his head, he immediately said: "Not only the lady here, but also the one in Qunfang Courtyard." ”

"It's all because I used the rouge gouache in this shop to become so good!"

"It's just that a set of fat powder in the store is not cheap, and when you buy it after the event, it will cost nearly one or two silver for a set, but well, the business is still good."

"As the so-called love for beauty, everyone has a heart, and now, the eunuchs and ladies of rich and noble families in the county, if anyone doesn't use this, it will be shameless to go out."

A flash of surprise flashed in Ye Zhengde's eyes: "Is this fat powder really as Brother Qian said, selling so well?" ”

"Can I still lie to you about this? You can find a lady here and ask. The man in Tsing Yi said with a smile.

Ye Zhengde suddenly thought of something, and asked again: "Then Brother Qian, do you know what this fat powder is made of?" ”

"I don't know..... Hey, he's coming, the lord is coming, quick, let's get over ......"
