Volume I, Lanling Volume 48, Clerk 1
The next day, Zhang Sanniang looked for Wu Daotian and gave him a clover, Wu Daotian looked at it and said in surprise: "So quickly, you have cultivated the third leaf." ”
Zhang Sanniang said: "This spirit grass is too scary, in my Sumeru realm, it has absorbed a small spirit vein before it grows the third leaf?"
That spiritual grass actually integrated into Wu Daotian's body on its own, and Wu Daotian breathed a sigh of relief, at least he had the means to save his life.
Zhang Sanniang went to chat with the old lady, and saw a big burden on the table, a pile of white silver, so she asked the old lady: "Why do you suddenly have so much silver at home, there are five hundred taels, your family has made a fortune." ”
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Yesterday, Ming Changchun sent it, I can't ask for this money." ”
"Why can't you ask for it?" Zhang Sanniang asked: "Ming Changchun has caused your family to be so miserable, and it is also appropriate to have some blood." ”
"The Ming family is not rich now. The old lady sighed and said: "In the past two years, the money has been spent like water, and only Lingtian has not moved." ”
Zhang Sanniang said strangely: "Sister, how do I feel that you have changed as a person, tell me, do you have a fancy for the better things of the Ming family, oh... It's Miss Ming, then you really can't ask for this silver!"
"It just so happens that I'm counting it, sister, since you're here, let's do me a favor, go to Ming's house and return the silver, and then tell me what I mean" The old lady said.
"Oh, oh, oh!" Zhang Sanniang said excitedly: "Without further ado, Miss Ming is a person who is rare in a hundred years, and she has to take advantage of the heat of the Ming family to make mature rice." ”
That's what it means. The old lady nodded and said, "Sister, pack up and go quickly!"
"Okay. Zhang Sanniang agreed, and went out with the burden on her back, and didn't come back until noon, still carrying the burden.
"Why, it didn't work out?" asked the old lady.
"How can I say it......" Zhang Sanniang threw the burden on the table.
The old lady said: "Tell me quickly, you want to suffocate me!"
"Alas, the Ming family didn't object, but, Miss Ming has already left, saying that she went to the Xingyin Sect, that's a great sect!" Zhang Sanniang said again: "Miss Ming left a word, because the second young master doesn't look down on her......"
"This dead boy is still capable, and when he saw his daughter-in-law, he just let him run away angry, and he still can't look down on other people's ......" The old lady opened her teeth and claws.
Zhang Sanniang also sighed and said, "It's a pity, such a good girl, just ran away." ”
。。。。。。
In the next few days, the family kept coming and going, and the county magistrate Han and Zhang Dianguan were so considerate that they also came to the house to send money. It's not that they suddenly have a kind heart and feel that they want to help Wu Daotian's family, but that they know that Wu has evidence of them in the second-hand, so they come over to set up friendships.
That night, Uncle Wangshan and Aunt Cui had dinner at home, Aunt Cui was the old lady's former maid, and later the old lady married Uncle Wangshan. In the past few years of my father's absence, Uncle Wangshan has helped to carry it, otherwise, no matter how strong the old lady is, she will not be able to live in the ancestral house in this civilian area, and the Wu Mansion and the Ma family are not easy to mess with, and these invisible pressures are all resolved by Uncle Wangshan. Let's just say that the shopkeeper of the medicinal herb shop, why can the old lady kill the price and still pay on credit, isn't she afraid of Uncle Wangnan? Even Dr. Zuo's free clinic is based on his face.
While the family was eating, they talked about long and short things, and the topic was naturally inseparable from the affairs of the yamen.
"The county lord is beautiful this time. Uncle Wangshan took a sip of wine and said: "With the majesty of overturning the iron case, he has made a big move in the yamen, and he has really done a lot of things. ”
The old lady is not concerned about the county lord, but about the vacated seat of the Xu Dian: "Some people are happy and some people are worried, Xu Shan is finished." ”
Uncle Wangshan said: "This eats inside and outside, I don't know how much black money I collected, I deserve this end!"
"The seat he vacated ......," said the old lady, "a lot of people are staring at it." ”
"That's nature. Uncle Wangshan nodded.
There are very few formal officials in the yamen, except for the five official quotas in the fishing fast, there is only one official and two wardens in each room of the six rooms, a total of three people, and a total of eighteen formal officials in the six rooms, which is set by the king, a large reduction in officials, can concentrate cultivation resources, and can also reduce the burden of the whole county.
Formal officials enjoy a lot of resources, and in addition, they also have to bear corresponding obligations.
For example, the Naha City Luck Map needs someone to keep an eye on it at all times to channel the luck of the city. There are also complicated affairs of other parties, and the officials still have to cultivate, and they don't have so much energy at all, so they hire a number of 'clerks' who deal with official documents and miscellaneous affairs, and 'helpers' who help run errands.
The number of clerks and helpers is far more than that of the clerks, and who does not want to change from temporary workers to clerks? However, the number of clerks is set by the king, and no one can move it, and only vacancies can be filled.
"Is it decided?" asked Aunt Cui.
"Nope. Uncle Wangshan shook his head and said, "It is said that this lack has been asked by Master Tong." ”
"What does he want this for?" said the old lady a little disappointed.
"Who knows? The hard-working officials are all the best at selling money for favors. Uncle Wangshan said.
Aunt Cui said: "Find something to do for the second young master, you can't stay at home all the time!"
Uncle Wangshan said: "I understand, but unfortunately I can't appoint my own wardens. Now everyone is staring at this fat ......."
"Madam, otherwise, this time I will be able to help come out, and I can do this. It's better to let the second young master do it first, and when there is a chance, then strive to become a warden. Uncle Wangshan asked the old lady.
The old lady wanted to nod her head and agree, but Aunt Cui interjected: "It's not a good job to help, you have to find a way to get a book errand for the second young master." ”
"If the book is poor, I'll go through the relationship first, but I can also try. Uncle Wangshan said: "But the selection of books has to be examined by the inspector himself before he can be hired." ”
Wu Daotian didn't know what to say, he thought about it again and again, and politely rejected Granny Yue's kindness, that is, he decided to start with the government and use the profound heritage of the government to make up for his shortcomings, so that he could take that crucial step, and find a big tree to enjoy the shade in the catastrophe of heaven and earth.
Wu Daotian has actually been waiting for Master Tong to help him find an errand, but who knows that he is like a mud cow entering the sea, and there is no news.
The old lady thought that he thought that the book was a temporary worker, so she straightened up her face and said: "The stinky boy is not satisfied." Back then, your father stayed up for several years before he became a poor scholar! If you do a good job, let your Uncle Wangshan keep an eye on you, and you will be yours if there is a shortage in the future. ”
"Mother, you misunderstood. Wu Daotian sighed lightly and said, "I am content." ”
"It's pretty much the same, let Uncle Wangshan chase it up tightly in the past few days and finalize this matter, so as not to have too many dreams at night. The old lady said
Wu Daotian wanted to say that I was actually going to look for Master Tong, but when I thought of many ways and hopes, I didn't squeak.
If you want to say that things are still done by Uncle Wangshan.
There has been no movement on Master Tong's side, and Uncle Wangnan has already told the old lady that he has said hello to the official's room, and he can let Erlang go to the county government to sign up, as long as he can pass the main book, there will be no problem.
Wu Daotian also felt that Tong Wen, the old bastard, was going to release his own pigeons, and it was not a way to wait any longer, so he agreed to go to the county government to sign up.
In fact, there is a strong lady on the stall, and he can't help but agree......
The old lady attached great importance to this matter, and deliberately found out his father's robe for her son to wear, and got up in the morning to cook him a bowl of golden rice and boiled two eggs. After all, his son has lived for more than ten years, and for the first time, he has to go to the main business, and he still goes to the yamen to work as an errand.
Uncle Wangshan was even more active and came to the house early in the morning.
