Ji Menghan's mother said: "Do you have to go through other people's doors?" It's not something you just say! Wang Wenwu smiled and said, "Mother-in-law! There is also a process for buying and selling officials. You don't know how many people up and down here are pointing to this to get rich! Besides, if you don't follow the rules, who knows how long it will take to get the position, but it's different if you find a way, you can pay the money today and take office tomorrow. If you don't pay for it, everyone will get your hand on it. And you can't tell the slightest bit wrong. Ji Menghan interjected: "You also said that you are not a greedy Beiyang official? You are so familiar with buying and selling officials! The state just lets you people be officials, how can the country be good! Ji Menghan's mother pushed Ji Menghan and said, "You don't interject!" Then he said to Wang Wenwu: "Then how much does this cost?" ”

"It's up to my father-in-law. Look where he wants! This is a privilege and a high position is definitely more expensive. But in Qingshui Yamen, it is different, and the price is also much cheaper. Ji Menghan's mother couldn't make up her mind, and asked Wang Wenwu: "Son-in-law, where do you say this is good?" Ji Menghan said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, you really bought an official for Dad!" Ji Menghan's mother said, "Why not? If someone else buys it, can't our family buy it? Ji Menghan couldn't make sense to his mother, and said to Wang Wenwu: "No, how can this official position be bought and sold so casually?" Isn't this something that only happened when the country died? ”

"Although it is not a dead country now, it is also a warlord separation. Several presidents have occupied more places for Cao Dashuai. BJ's order is out of Cao Dashuai's territory, who listens! Take advantage of the fact that it is Cao Dashuai on stage now. I can't tell when Cao Dashuai will step down. If someone else comes to power. The way through the back door is broken. I don't know when the next time will be. ”

"Just based on the appearance of you Beiyang officials, how can it be broken?"

"Cao Dashuai stepped down, but there is no penny less." Wang Wenwu said to Ji Menghan's mother: "Mother-in-law." This is a matter of haste to decide. The situation changes every year, and if it can happen this year, it won't be possible next year. Ji Menghan's mother was concerned that she could make less money now, and hurriedly asked: "Just pay less, how much less!" ”

"I can't guarantee more, but it's okay to have one or two layers less." Ji Menghan saw that his mother was a little moved, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Mom, don't listen to him, if he can help others get promoted, then why is he still just a master?" Wang Wenwu retorted: "Do you think this official can be promoted casually? In charge of things is just right. Further up, those are the henchmen of various ministers. Then you have to think about other people's ministers and don't want to! ”

"Really? I think this minister has changed quite diligently. So many of your own people? Isn't that just a matter of money? ”

"What do you want? A high-ranking official like a minister is available for money? No matter how bad the government is, it is not rotten to this extent. Ji Menghan's mother could see that her daughter just had nothing to do, so she said for the sake of the estrangement between her daughter and son-in-law: "Menghan, don't you say a few words, don't you understand the affairs of this government?" Listen to the civil and military! ”

"Wenwu, you said Menghan and his father! Where to go? Wang Wenwu didn't dare to come up with ideas for his father-in-law.

So he said, "Mother-in-law, I really can't help you pay attention to this matter." Now it's up to you to make up your own mind. Tell me where you've chosen, and I'll take care of the rest. ”

"Good, good, good. Then it will be troublesome for the civil and military. I'll go back and talk to her dad now! ”

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me, you go slowly!" Wang Wenwu sent Ji Menghan's mother to the door and said to Ji Menghan: "Huaihua went out in a rickshaw. You go to the entrance of the alley and call a rickshaw for your mother. Ji Menghan's mother said: "It's okay, I'm not so delicate to that extent." Menghan, let's go outside with me! Wang Wenwu said: "Then be careful on the road!" After Ji Menghan and her mother went away.

Ji Menghan's mother said: "Do you usually treat civil and military affairs like this? Why can't you save me peace of mind! Fortunately, Wenwu doesn't care, if you change to a small belly, see what a good life you have! Ji Menghan said indifferently: "I don't have to marry him." Besides, wouldn't it be possible to reconcile and separate then? ”

"And leave? Do you still think about marriage? You are really divorced, then you must not say that it is my daughter in the future! Besides, the woman who has left can only marry low or die alone, say you want to choose that! ”

"It's a new society now, how can you still look at society with old eyes!" 、

"I'm still old-eyed, you like to chew your tongue and say right and wrong, I didn't take you off, it's good, I still want to leave!"

"Mom, why are you like this!"

"How am I, hello Wang Wenwu is having a good time, and then the younger brother can also get a good errand with the relationship!" Hearing this, Ji Menghan did not refute, but said that he knew.

Ji Menghan's mother saw that her daughter listened to it, and continued: "Menghan, it's good that you listen to it, although you say that you are an aunt's wife, but you are not bad at civil and military affairs, you live a good life with him, you know?" Ji Menghan whispered: "Got it!" ”

"I heard that the eldest lady of civil and military affairs is studying abroad, is it true?" Ji Menghan nodded and said, "It's true, I went in France, the year before last!" ”

"Don't you want to go out and have a look?"

"Mom, what do you mean by that?"

"My silly daughter! This big lady can go abroad, can't you go? You have served the civil and military well, and you just have to go abroad. Ji Menghan shook his head and said: "It costs a lot of money to go to France, even if the eldest lady goes, she also gets the funding of Huafa Education." In addition, there are more and more people in this family, and the cost is also a lot larger, I never thought that in France, he could let me continue to study, and I am very satisfied. ”

"There are a lot of people, there were a lot of people in the yard just now, how many people are there in the family now?" Ji Menghan sighed and said: "Now there are six adults in the family, seventeen children, five servants, two wet nurses, a porter, and a sister-in-law, there are a total of thirty-two people, big and small, and no one is pregnant, I don't know how many people are in the family in the future." Ji Menghan's mother said in surprise: "Ah! With so many people, can you live in that two-entry courtyard? I can see that there are a lot of children in the yard, and when I become a family, where is there enough yard for these two! Didn't the civil and military plan to do it? Ji Menghan gave her mother a reassuring look and said, "You can rest assured!" He had already sold the courtyard in the back alley, and now that courtyard is not a two-entry courtyard, but a four-entry courtyard. ”
