Chapter 35: Honest
The night is as cool as water, and the sky is full of stars.
Ye Cheng took a bath, wiped the water with a cloth towel bare-chested, and when he came out of the backyard, he saw Ye Shi shaking a pu fan on the one hand, catching mosquitoes for the children sleeping on the bed, and smirking at the starlight outside the window.
He smiled unconsciously, and lowered his voice, "It's so late, you don't sleep, why are you smirking?" β
Ye Shi said excitedly, "This is Ah Rong's first heart-saving plum blossom today!" When she's more familiar β guess what, how much can she sell it for? β
The daughter has long skills, and she is also very happy to be a father, and she asks cooperatively.
"You usually do a piece of needlework, but it's only three or five dollars. This, seven or eight texts? β
"I don't know! The wages of this heart-saving plum blossom must be at least this number! β
Seeing her stretch out two fingers, Ye Cheng was also taken aback, "There are so many?" β
He worked hard for a day, and what he could earn was only twenty or thirty yuan.
If the daughter can easily make a sweat towel at home, she can earn so much, and it is a good labor for anyone.
They are just ordinary people, and it is impossible for them to give their daughters too many dowries. If you have a skill, you can also say that you will be a good in-law in the future.
Ye Shi said happily, "This heart-saving plum blossom, no one in the town knows it, it was learned by the beautiful girl from the palace." She said that this would only teach us Ah Rong, and also asked her to earn a few dowry money. β
Ye Cheng is an honest man, but he is not a fool.
"Then, our family really owes a favor."
As soon as he came back in the evening, he went to the county government office and negotiated the work of repairing the wall and turning over the tiles, and the price he paid was much higher than that of his usual days.
Ye said, "What are you afraid of owing favors?" Slowly, it is. By the way, you will bring more money with you tomorrow. To do things in the yamen, you have to be generous, don't be reluctant. β
Ye Cheng still understands this truth.
There are a lot of things to do in the yamen, and there are many people coming and going, so maybe you can introduce other jobs once you do it. It is necessary to be good friends with people.
But Ye Cheng still muttered a little in his heart, "I'm not used to these things, in case I say the wrong thing......"
Ye Shi said angrily, "People didn't ask you to tell books and jokes, what are you afraid of?" Do things well first, and then look at the good treats, invite someone to eat a melon, drink a tea or something. There's no job introduction, isn't it good to be familiar with a face? β
Saying this, Ye Cheng also felt that there was nothing to worry about.
It is not good not to repay only the favor of others.
Giving silver earrings like Zhou Juan, they can't afford to give them, but they have to do their best.
"When I get paid, do you want to tear up the clothes for the beautiful girl? I remember that she was born in the summer, and her birthday is near, right? β
Ye said, "I've been thinking about this for a long time, she is twelve this year, and it's a big birthday." It's just clothing or something, but I don't need it. Last time, Wang Xianzun gave the material, and I am still making it for her, and I will not worry about it in the next year. So I'm going to make her two pairs of shoes, and the soles of them are all ready. β
Ye Cheng said distressedly, "Making shoes hurts the most." β
Ye's heart was sweet, "It's okay, I'm just stupid." Besides, if I don't do it, her mother won't do it for her. And because it's not easy to do, doesn't it show our intentions? β
Ye Cheng just that's it.
I just hope that I can make more money and go back to my daughter-in-law and pull new clothes.
The morning breeze is cool.
Ye Cheng changed into clean clothes, carried tools, and went out to work.
happened to meet Lin Junren, because his family has been quite unpopular with his neighbors recently, so he politely said hello first.
"Master Ye is early."
"Early."
"This year's flood is big, and there are many houses to repair, so you have a lot of work, right?"
"Hmm."
"It's a pity that we don't have much work in the yamen, otherwise I will definitely take care of you."
"Oh."
"You don't know, there is a rule in officialdom that officials do not repair their offices. The yamen is in tatters, so that they are incorruptible and do not covet pleasure. But if you really want to be an official, it's no good, who wants to go to the cold window to study hard? β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
Lin Junren originally thought that he could part ways by casually talking about two sentences. Who knew that Ye Cheng had been following him with his head bored, and he couldn't ignore it.
When Lin Junren's mouth was dry, it was easy to get to the yamen, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said a little pretentiously, "I'll go in on an errand, see you later!" β
But Ye Cheng still followed him into the yamen.
Lin Junren was stunned, did he want to come to the lawsuit?
But Menzi had already greeted him, bypassing Lin Junren and walking towards Ye Cheng.
"Master Ye, it's early. Let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while, and I'll report it to see where it is repaired. β
Ye Cheng nodded, "It's hard work." β
When, this is here to work?
Lin Junren thought about his words, only to feel a slight pain in his face.
This honest man is really a pit when he pits people!
But how did he get the job of the county government?
Lin Junren wanted to inquire, but the people in the yamen had a lot of hearts.
Although that Menzi knew that it was introduced by Yulan, why did he have such a mouth?
Wang Xianzun hasn't left yet, he has nothing to chew on the root of his girl's tongue, don't you want to mix it up or what?
So he shook his head and didn't know when he asked, which made Lin Junren more and more curious and vaguely in awe.
Could it be that Ye Cheng is silent, and he has caught up with some powerful person?
It's a pity that he doesn't know that this powerful person is his own little daughter!
Ignoring Lin Junren's speculation in his heart, Ye Cheng only honestly did what he was doing.
One more step does not take, do not look at it.
Neither go to the whiskers and shoot the horse, nor blind approach.
In the yamen, where everyone is eager to give birth to three pairs of belly intestines, it has unexpectedly become a clear stream.
It's very popular!
Near noon, it rained lightly, which did not relieve the heat, but felt damp and hot. Everyone was sweating in the room, not to mention that Ye Cheng had to carry a ladder and climb up and down to work.
Seeing that he was dripping sweat from his hair, Wang Cheng, who was in charge of greeting, and Wang Xianzun's henchmen followed him for a long time, and he was very unhappy.
Tete Guan Yulan asked for a piece of cold melon (watermelon), and called him into his room during the lunch break, so that he could take a lunch break to relieve the heat.
Ye Cheng thanked him, saying that he was covered with sweat, and he was afraid of soiling the house, so he was only willing to sit at the door and eat melons.
Wang Cheng saw that he understood the rules, which added to his good impression.
The sky was so hot that I couldn't sleep, so I looked for two pu fans, and the two of them talked without a match.
This king became a wife and children, all of whom were born in the family, and together with the main mother, they were all in Wang's hometown. This time, Wang Xianzun left office, and he could also reunite as a family, so he was naturally happy.
Although Ye Cheng is not good at speaking, he is good at listening.
Wang Cheng unconsciously talked about his eldest daughter's relatives, and he was happy for a while and worried for a while.
Glad that the mistress took care of him and married his daughter to a wealthy family, and the future will be better.
I am worried that my husband's family is rich, and I am afraid that my son-in-law will be too pampered, and I am also afraid that I will have an external heart in the future, and I can't suppress it.
In the end, he sighed, "No matter what, the married girl is someone else's family, what's the use of worrying about it?" β
Ye Cheng has sharp eyes.
This is definitely genetic.
He suddenly caught a glimpse of a cyan figure at the door of the moon cave behind him.
Fang Cai Wang Cheng said that behind this is Wang Xianzun's study. The cyan cloth is not cheap at all.
His mind suddenly moved, and he decided to say a few good words for the beautiful girl.
Then he said boldly, "Who said it's useless to worry about your daughter?" This girl is well raised, and she can even count on her retirement. β
Wang Cheng naturally didn't believe it.
Ye Cheng said a few words and told Zhou Juan what she promised to support her family.
His story is mediocre, but the point is prominent.
focused on the help of the beautiful lady when Zhou Juan was seriously ill, and Zhou Juan's gratitude and gratitude.
But in the final analysis, it has to be the kindness and sensibility of the beautiful lady to help first in order to have such a return.
Therefore, after listening to this, Wang Cheng had a feeling, "In the end, there are still good people who have good rewards!" But the matter of these two girls is a little interesting, just like the storytelling that our master usually hears......"
Before the words fell, someone suddenly heard outside the door, "Is this true?" β
Wang Xianzun looked at Ye Cheng with bright eyes, "You come to the study and explain the matter to the official in detail." If that's the case, I'll give you a big gift! β
