Chapter 57: I Want to Be an Official

Three years ago, when a family of four had their first meeting in Chang'an City, they drank two coins of silver and a pot of tea, ordered a vegetarian dish of 20 yuan, and walked on two legs for more than half an hour from the north of the city to the south of the city.

And now, the mother and daughter rent the best carriage in Longquan Town, two taels of silver a whole day, and the coachman can only send you wherever you hire the car. I picked up the two brothers of the Lu family at the school dormitory, and the family went directly to Anyi Fang on the East Third Street of Zhuque Street, and bought a private room in a restaurant for five taels of silver.

Lu Zhi drank the tea, listening to the names of the obviously expensive dishes one by one, his eyebrows raised slightly, although he had doubts but did not say it.

"Alright, that's all." Yi Yu took his eyes off the row of bamboo carved food cards hanging on the private room, and after seeing Xiao Er's surprised expression, he took out one or two pieces of silver from his sleeve and put them on the table, "Serve the dishes neatly." ”

The little two smiled and narrowed his eyes, answered "yes" and took the broken silver on the table, bypassed the screen and retreated.

Lu Jun waited for the little second to go down, and then he couldn't hold back, "Xiao Yu, why did you order such an expensive dish, and what did you do with the little second child?" ”

Yi Yu covered his mouth and smiled, "Second brother, this is Jude Building, if you don't order twenty or thirty taels of silver here, I'm afraid you will be kicked out, I gave that little two money, but it was to let him urge the cook to serve us faster, you see so many people downstairs, when will it be our turn." ”

Last year, Yi Yu and the Lu family ran around selling sugar gourds in Chang'an City, and naturally heard a lot of interesting stories about the humanities, although this Jude Building is not as good as some famous buildings and shops frequented by dignitaries, but it is also called the number one restaurant, she still talked to the Lu family at home for a long time, and only brought the two brothers here with her consent.

"What!" Lu Jun's thick eyebrows widened, "Then let's not eat, isn't this a slander?" Lu Jun was simple-hearted, he didn't hear the half-truths and half-truths of Yiyu's jokes, and when he was about to slap the table and leave, Lu Zhi, who was sitting next to him, hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed him.

"You idiot, you can't tell the truth or the false." Although Lu Zhi has never taken the initiative to spend money in this kind of place to spend money, sometimes he can't refrain from making good classmates invitations, but he has gone to some places that are bigger than this Jude Building.

Yi Yu received Lu Shi's disapproving eyes, and then looked at Lu Jun's still puzzled expression, before he helplessly explained, "Second brother, I'll tease you, of course, you can only order a pot of tea and eat nothing when you come here, but we are here to celebrate, and it's rare to have a luxury." ”

Lu Jun asked blankly, "What are you celebrating?" ”

Since there was still some time before the food was served, Lu Shi told in detail about the signing of his contract with Daxing Dried Fruit Shop, and the two brothers had different expressions after hearing about it.

Lu Jun's face turned red and he stammered, "Mother, you, you mean, we have five thousand taels of silver now?" After seeing Lu's nod, he turned to Yi Yu and said, "Xiao Yu, you pinch my brother - ouch!" You're so hard! ”

Under Lu's glare, Yi Yu laughed dryly and removed his hand from Lu Jun's cheeks, not wanting to admit that he was taking the opportunity to take revenge on Lu Jun for playing with her as copper money several times.

Lu Zhi had an uncertain look on his face, and when the brother and sister had a quarrel, he smiled bitterly and said a little dumbly, "Mother, my son only now realized that he is really useless." ”

Lu Shi and Yi Yu found out that Lu Zhi was wrong, and their faces were pale, Lu Shi reached out and took the clenched fist he put on the table, and said softly, "Zhi'er, don't be presumptuous, you and Jun'er are the best in the eyes of your mother." ”

Yi Yu didn't expect Lu Zhi to say this, but just after thinking about it, he understood the reason why he had such a reaction. Lu Zhi has always taken it as his responsibility to improve the Lu family's family situation and make the family no longer angry, and after the incident in the backer village, he held his breath.

Seeing that after the graduation exam next year, he will have the opportunity to become a leader, but his family has been run by the Lu family and Yiyu, just like a person who wastes a lot of energy to save money in order to buy a thing, but when he is short of a few taels of silver, he finds that the thing has been bought back and put in his own hands.

Thinking of this layer, Yi Yu also moved over to squeeze Lu Jun away, sat down on the cushion beside Lu Zhi, and took his other hand, "Big brother, my mother is right, you are arrogant." My mother and I just made some money, so that we can eat better and use better, but our family background is thin after all, and if something really happens, it is not for others to slaughter. If you get an official and a half-job in the exam next year, then we are the family members of the official master, but it is better than tens of thousands of taels of silver. ”

Lu Zhi just couldn't think about it for a while, he was a smart person in the end, and when the mother and daughter said this, their faces no longer had the bitterness just now, but a faint smile appeared, "Okay, I just drilled the tip of the horns, don't worry, I'm just thinking about it temporarily." ”

Seeing that he really lost the gloom he had just now, Yi Yu hesitated for a while before he said, "Big brother, Xiao Yu has something I want to ask you, you have to tell the truth." Lu Zhi shook Yiyu's hand and nodded for her to ask, and Lu Shi and Lu Jun on the side also showed curiosity.

"Big brother, do you want the imperial examination examiner, just for our family, or do you really want to go this way." This question has only recently arisen for her, and even Lu Shi has never talked about it, but when she saw Lu Zhi's expression, it made her think again, if Lu Zhi really has the heart to take a career in office, if he only likes to read, but hates being an official, and is only for their family, then it is better to be a teacher to be happy.

"It's not!" Lu Zhi answered this question decisively, Yi Yu felt the big hand holding with him tightened, and then looked at his expression but revealed an indescribable determination, "I really want to be an official, maybe there are other reasons, but the most important thing is that I want to be an official!" Only when I become an official can I have the ability to do what I want to do! ”

When he said this, Lu Zhi's clear and godly eyes exuded indescribable perseverance, and his already handsome face seemed to be instantly lit up by these eyes, making him even more chic and confident.

Yi Yu breathed a sigh of relief, Lu Shi's eyes were relieved, and Lu Jun showed a rare thoughtful expression, at this time, there were two knocks on the door behind the screen, Lu Zhi suddenly collected the look on his face, and said "Come in", and the little er who was waiting on the side when ordering before walked in with one hand skillfully holding a big tray.

After going back and forth like this twice, the low table in front of the four people was filled with colorful food plates, and the shopkeeper asked if there were any more orders, and Lu Zhi waved him down.

Naturally, their families are not so particular about eating, they chatted with each other while sandwiching each other's dishes, and the Lu family took advantage of this to explain the arrangement of the five thousand taels of silver to the two brothers.

The five hundred taels given to Liu Xiangxiang, at first she was reluctant to ask for it at all, but Lu Shi took it and threatened her not to deal with her, so she accepted it with a wry smile.

The remaining silver plus the family's savings over the years also has 5,000 taels, and the Lu family plans to take out 3,000 taels to buy a Zhuangzi near Longquan Town, hire some people to run the field and forestry industry, and also buy some family property for the two brothers.

took out another 2,000 taels to buy some gold and silver jewelry, but it was to prepare a dowry for the Yu Yu in advance, at this point, the Lu family did not care about the resistance of the Yu Yu, and now told it to the two sons, and it was unanimously approved, Rao is Yu Yu could not suppress the voices of the three people no matter how opposed it was, so he could only helplessly let them discuss.
