Chapter 21: Master
When he knew that Wen Youyou didn't work, in fact, Xiao Yue had always had a question, what kind of expenses did he pay? It doesn't seem to be enough to be just the second generation of officials, could it be that Master Wen is secretly paying for his expenses? But such a personal matter, until Wen Youyou himself said it. He said that after Master Wen knew about his escape from work, he was scolded by Wenfu, but because he was used to his father looking down on him so much, he didn't say anything when he heard his father's scolding. Then, a new work arrangement document thrown to him by Master Wen made him leave the Wen Mansion. When he came back, he found that the work assigned to him this time was an unpopular errand, and it was an official position under the Ministry of Civil Affairs, called disaster response, to put it bluntly, it was post-disaster management, and if there was a natural disaster, he would be asked to deal with the aftermath.
When Xiao Yue heard this, he asked: "Then if he has good luck and there has been no natural disaster, will he not have to work?" ”
When Wen Youyou heard this, he treated Xiao Yue differently, this is simply saying what he wants, so that when the wind and rain are smooth, he can receive the official mansion Yueyin while playing without anyone careging. Therefore, during the time that Xiaoyue and Wen Youyou have known each other, they basically haven't seen him have any business trips. Sleep until you wake up naturally every day, get up at noon to have a meal with them, take the little girl in the afternoon and don't know where to run to play, an hour after dark, go home on time, with either the smell of fat powder or the smell of wine, suppressing the citrus taste on his body.
But this job, the only thing that made Wen Youyou unhappy was that he couldn't receive the moon silver issued to him by the government in person, but his father forwarded it to him after receiving it, and he deducted some at every turn. But it's better to think about it than nothing, according to Wen Youyou, he can receive 50 taels of silver every month, and the envious Xiaoyue is going to drool, and he is really the second generation of officials, and he can still get a salary if he doesn't do anything. Ordinary people can go to the most expensive red brand restaurant in the city every day for 1200 silver to eat and drink spicy food, and he told the story to Old Man Pan for 10 days, and he only earned 1 tael of silver when he was dry.
No wonder he invited their sisters to live in the Wenfu Courtyard so indifferently, this is really not bad money.
It was really pleasant to see Wen Youyou sitting in the pavilion in front of her, chatting with her while drinking, and living a life without working or having bad money.
But Xiaoyue thought that she didn't have a father who was the prime minister, and she always relied on her own skills to eat, so she said to Wen Youyou: "You have an official errand, and I don't have any errands. ”
When Wen Youyou heard that she had this thought, he was very unhappy, and he told Xiaoyue that his best friend since he was a child was Zhushan, but this person Zhushan is good at everything, he just doesn't like to talk, and it is rare to meet someone like Xiaoyue who can chat with him. Since childhood, this yard has been deserted, the three of them came, the family is popular, and sometimes they want to stay at home and have a good lunch, you know, he didn't eat at home before. In addition, the reason why he likes to go to the land of fireworks is because there are many people there, and he can have someone to chat with, and sometimes it is good to listen to people. And now chatting with Xiaoyue, he saves a lot of expenses for going to fireworks venues, and he also knows that those people are all to make him money, what can he say to him, he doesn't go over to have a good time, and he rarely takes what those people say to heart. But Satsuki is different, Satsuki is now his confidant, his friend, and they talk about everything. Therefore, if Xiaoyue still mentions money to him, it is not to treat him as a friend.
After listening to his words, Xiao Yue suddenly understood him a little, just like when she saw Wen Youyou's mother's room, she also thought that maybe he would come here to sit when he was lonely. Although Wen Youyou didn't care about money, Xiao Yue still felt that it was inappropriate after thinking about it, and told Wen Youyou: "Whether you want to or not, if you have any problems at work in the future, you will try to help." Xiao Yue felt that with his own intelligence, he should help Wen Youyou, after all, he has an official position, and if he doesn't have a job now, it doesn't mean that he won't have it in the future.
And Wen Youyou also felt that what he said just now hurt Xiao Yue's self-esteem a little, after getting along for so many days, he also felt that Xiao Yue, who was not an ordinary woman, needed to treat her like a man, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and said: "I heard that some officials will raise some masters or doormen, if you don't mind, you can pretend to be a man when you go out, and say that it is my master to the outside world, and then you can eat and wear for free here with me, so it's always okay." ”
Maybe Wen Youyou was trying to save face for her, but Xiao Yue really wanted to help him, so she snatched the wine glass in Wen Youyou's hand and said, "A word is a decision, do it first for respect!" Wen Youyou was stunned for a moment, I didn't expect this Xiao Yue to drink.
What she didn't expect was that after lunch the next day, Xiaoyue found Wen Youyou before she went out, and made a request, hoping that he would teach her to read and write, because she didn't want someone to say that Wen Youyou's master couldn't read big characters in the future.
At this time, Wen Youyou knew that Xiao Yue was not just talking about it yesterday, but she was taking it seriously. Although there were some differences, I admired her more in my heart, so I led Xiaoyue to the study and began to teach her literacy.
Xiao Yue found that after she began to learn to read and write, her days in the Wenfu Courtyard passed quickly. And Wen Youyou didn't find out, since he started teaching Xiaoyue to read and write, he hasn't been to the fireworks place again, because Xiaoyue is really thirsty for learning, in addition to helping Xiaolan take medicine, he studied for half a day in the morning and half a day in the afternoon. Satsuki sometimes doesn't need him to be by his side when he writes, and he has a habit of practicing martial arts, so he sneaks to a nearby mountain like a wind and delays for half a day.
But it didn't take long for Wen Youyou to find out that Xiao Yue was actually a genius of literacy, and after knowing some basic words, Xiao Yue would draw inferences from each other and learn by herself, and the speed of this literacy skyrocketed. He sometimes remembered how Satsuki used to read in his study, and if it weren't for the fact that he was very backward in learning to write, he would even suspect that Satsuki had taught him literacy to be a prank at all. In addition, he also found that Satsuki had gained weight unconsciously. Wen Youyou thought to herself, is it because I heard that I became a master, and I ate for free, so I ate comfortably, and absorbed it so well? Wow, what kind of woman is this! Although Xiao Yue has become fat, Wen Youyou still feels that Xiao Yue has become better-looking, her facial features are getting clearer and clearer, her eyes are getting bigger and bigger, and her little nose is getting more and more straight, when Xiao Yue is writing seriously, he will occasionally look at her attentively next to her, thinking that a person who looks like a wild woman in a mountain village for the first time, now she seems to be a different person, and she feels that her whole body is shining brightly, so dazzling.
Xiao Yue, on the other hand, is dedicated to her studies, and she wants to master this foreign language as soon as possible and get rid of her illiteracy as soon as possible. She found some patterns when she was learning to read and write, the characters here are very similar to Chinese characters, and she guessed that they were probably cognate hieroglyphs, so as long as she memorized the basic characters, it was easy to guess the meaning of other similar words, so she was still very satisfied with the speed of literacy. But it's much more difficult to write.,She lamented in her heart.,These words have a lot of strokes.,The brush is still soft and difficult to use.,It's so hard to write.,Secretly read that I need a ballpoint pen.,I need input methods to save myself.。
After another while, when the weather was colder, Wen Youyou bought winter clothes for Xiaoyue and Xiaolan, and Xiaoyue found that she had to wear two sizes larger than Xiaolan, and she was surprised to realize that she had gained weight. I thought to myself, is the food in Wenfu really so full of oil and water? In the past few months, I was worried about how to eat a full stomach, and I had no chance to gain weight, but now it has only been two or three months after the days of good food and drink, and this body has begun to show off so much, Xiaoyue didn't expect to stay in this world for so long, and for the first time she had the urge to lose weight. When he was secretly angry, suddenly Steward Feng came to inform Xiaoyue, saying that there was a visitor.
