Chapter 20: Five Hundred Taels
In the past few days, the defense of the capital has unconsciously strengthened a lot.
Especially on the side of the Gongyuan, not only the patrol battalion focused on inspection, but the prince even sent a forbidden army to be stationed in case the student entrance examination was interfered with.
The markets and night markets have also stopped these days.
If the noise at home is a little louder, you may even be invited to a few free lunches by the yamen.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Chen Liu.
At this time, he lay comfortably in the wooden barrel, and the medicinal bath prepared by Yuan Ping was placed in the barrel.
The rich liquid medicine can not only relieve the spirit, but also relax the muscles and vitality, help Chen Liu Yun nourish the muscles and veins, and replenish the vitality, so that he will not fall into injuries and illnesses in the beating for days.
That's the price......
"Five hundred taels in three days, why don't you grab it?"
"I'm just robbing. Sincerely, sincerely. ”
It said that 500 taels would not be issued, and it would be used as the cost of Chen Liu's cultivation.
Yuan Ping really didn't make any money for him, after all, this is all made from many years of old medicine, and people outside can't use it if they have money?
He wasn't interested in eating the newcomer's fly meat, and he should make some money if he wanted to make it.
"You're a fucking genius."
Chen Liu was speechless, it was the first time he had encountered a robbery so justifiably.
What the hell is this place where the rod is playing, a gathering place for silly forks?
Although he could clearly feel that the effect of the medicinal bath was obvious.
Not only is the injury on his body good, but there is also a warm current looming in his body, which is indeed extremely comfortable.
That warm current, Yuan Ping said, is the "qi" refined when the martial artist was in the eighth grade.
When he was in the ninth grade, he could only be passively cultivated, and he was already quite talented when he could perceive it.
When he came back to take a medicated bath on the first day after being beaten, Yuan Ping was taken aback when he heard Chen Liu say that he felt this warm current.
The next day, the fight was even more vigorous.
"It's these five hundred taels, how much ink is he greedy?"
Chen Liu buried his head in the water and exhaled in the water.
But in his heart, he was thinking about where to go to earn another five hundred taels.
The rent of the house in the west of the city is not too expensive, and the Yulu of Jingzhao Mansion can also afford it. Even if you pick up the little sister and them, there will be no problem with normal food and clothing.
It's just that he also promised Evian to take her out as soon as possible, which costs five hundred taels.
Originally, if it was a risky trial, as long as it came out, it shouldn't be difficult to get a half-official position and get some rewards.
"Now, they're probably over."
At this time, the bells and drums sounded loudly, and the gate of the Imperial Examination Tribute Institute slowly opened.
After the students handed in the answer sheets, they rushed out.
Life in the exam room is really uncomfortable. Eating, drinking, and sleeping in Lazar, none of them are convenient.
Even if you finish your answer sheet early, you are not allowed to come out of the examination room.
Even if they slept in it for the rest of the day, it would not be possible to let them out to prevent any possible leaks.
The ceremony at the end of the examination is still in charge of several adults.
It's just that Jiang Ming, a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion University, who is the president of the examination, said that he occasionally felt cold and couldn't come.
The Shangshu and Squire of the Ministry of Rites were also invited into the cabinet by His Royal Highness the Prince, and they have not come out so far. Only a ceremonial Lang Zhong was sent to replace the class.
Zhang Yuxuan, the priest of the country, is still there, after all, it is impossible to let all the priests and doctors come, so he has to come by himself.
Bai Jiu of Qin Tianjian left in a hurry just now, saying that Lord Jianzheng was looking for him to have something, and everyone couldn't say anything.
The prince didn't come, and the princes didn't come, but the prince invited two uncles to come to witness, so it wasn't too lonely.
It's just that the end of the test still feels a little sloppy.
Although all the etiquette is not lacking, many important characters do not appear, which makes people feel weird.
The only consolation is that due to the absence of the big leaders, the ceremony did not last long, and there was no need to listen to the stinky and long script.
"I announce that there will be a big exam, and it's over! Please settle in the capital for the time being and wait for the apricot list to be released. ”
And in an instant the crowd was scattered as birds and beasts.
It's just that some people are happy and some are worried, some people feel that they can be admitted to Huiyuan and glorify their ancestors, and some people feel that they can only go home to bake sweet potatoes and inherit the ancestral inheritance.
Some people: "The exam is over!" ”
Some people: "The test is over, it's over......"
But no matter how happy you are, you have to go back to your own home and find your own mother first.
Will try to eat, drink, Lazar and sleep, although it is simple, but after all, it is ready.
But there was no place for them to wash up.
Now the smell of the students is very touching, even if they have scholarly anger and heroic spirit, they have to be beaten by this smell and lose their armor.
At the same time, Chen Liu was also kicked out of the pole by Yuan Ping, and he didn't explain anything to him.
"You're working so hard, and there's no more?"
"You three-legged cat kung fu, what's then. , I'm not interested in going on a mission to collect your body. ”
After speaking, Yuan Ping slammed the door shut......
Bang! The gate shattered.
“……”
“……”
"What do you see, there's no door at home? Still want to take it back? ”
"No, no, bye-bye."
Chen Liu left quickly, for fear that Yuan Pingyi would be unhappy, so he directly dragged him in and beat him up again.
Jingzhao Mansion is happy today, after the verification, the fugitives who escaped from the prison have either been hunted back, or died in the city for various reasons.
The prisoner's escape case is almost over.
This morning, Lord Zuo Shaoyin entered the palace and brought the case file to meet the prince of the prison state.
Although I did not see the face of His Royal Highness the Prince, the file was approved.
The prince not only praised the resolution of the case, but also asked the household department to allocate some bonuses to the Jingzhao Mansion.
Zuo Shaoyin did not forget to mention Chen Liu and Zhang Chun to the crown prince on the file, and the rewards were also distributed together.
The only thing that disappointed Lord Shao Yin was that the crown prince did not mention the choice of Fu Yin's position.
"Today, with the grace of the crown prince, everyone in the whole house will be rewarded!"
After discussing with Zuo Shaoyin and Right Shaoyin, who came back to Jingzhao Mansion, they didn't plan to do anything else when this kind of limelight had not passed, so the rewards given above would be distributed in full.
Each person can get forty or fifty taels of silver, which is considered two or three months' wages.
Everyone cheered, and Zuo Shaoyin planned to call the two biggest heroes to receive the award at this time.
"Zhang Chun, what about Chen Liu? Hurry up and come forward, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has a reward! ”
The voice fell, but then fell silent.
"What about the two of them?"
Zuo Shaoyin was a little puzzled, and at this time, the clerk under his hand replied in a whisper:
"Zhang Chun and Chen Liu haven't been here for three days."
“……”
Zuo Shaoyin's face froze instantly.
Although they really don't care too much about skipping work and fishing on weekdays, they don't care about it for three days, isn't it a bit excessive.
Right Shaoyin whispered a reminder in his ear:
"You promised them that you would not come these days."
"Who knew they were so unpolite?"
Just when the two young Yin were frozen on the stage, one person finally slipped back to the yamen with nothing to do.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Chun, who probed his brain, lingered in the Teaching Workshop Division for three days.
Today, I just ran out of money and was thrown out.
Seeing his colleagues in front, Zhang Chun squeezed in from behind.
"Zhang Chun?"
"Yes."
Suddenly hearing Zuo Shaoyin shouting to himself, Zhang Chun hurriedly stepped forward.
Zuo Shaoyin was still dissatisfied, but when Zhang Chun came forward, he was taken aback.
At this time, Zhang Chun's face was pale, his eyes were sunken, and his dark circles were extremely heavy, as if he hadn't slept for three days and three nights.
However, the spirit is full, and the two eyes are blinking, flashing so that Lord Shaoyin's brain hurts.
"What are you doing here? What about Chen Liu? ”
"The little one went to the Teaching Workshop Division on the orders of the old man. Chen Liu said that he was going to pick up his uncle and aunt to come to Beijing, and he may not have come back yet? ”
Zuo Shaoyin looked left and right, where did this kid go to the Teaching Workshop Division? It's clear that she slept on a woman's stomach for three days and three nights, right?
However, he did not debunk Zhang Chun and said:
"The prince remembered that you and Zhang Chun had meritorious service, and a special reward of five hundred taels of silver. Promoted by one level. ”
"Thank you for your grace!"
The two of them did enough work and praised the kindness of the prince.
Then the treasury gave 500 taels directly to Zhang Chun, and Chen Liu's reward must wait for him to receive it himself, and he can only take it after signing and postponing it.
Plus, a new set of clothes.
The head catcher of the girder is not like the previous dynasty, and there will be no chance of promotion in his life, but the third class is established.
The first-class head catcher can govern a team of thirty people, and the monthly salary can be fifty taels; The second class has jurisdiction over ten people, and the monthly salary is thirty taels; The last month is ten taels.
As for gray income, as long as it is not too excessive, it is all turned a blind eye.
When the water is clear, there are no fish.
However, they also depend on the size of their official position and power, and ordinary people and traders naturally dare not look down on them, but some capital can not be feared.
The higher the level, the higher the fear of others.
Although the head catcher is not as good as the adults, it can also mix with the wind and water, and the food and clothing are worry-free.
Zhang Chun has been in office for ten years, and he is a second-class head catcher. Promoted today, he may be able to upgrade from Drunken Dream Building to the Teaching Workshop Division in the future.
"Brother Zhang, you're in for a treat!"
"Yes, don't forget the brothers!"
……
The crowd was in an uproar, and several adults no longer restrained them.
After so many days of catastrophe, it's time to relax and relax.
Zhang Chun waved his hand and said:
"Let's go! Brothers, Guixianglou is up! ”
Guixiang Building, even in the capital, is a very high-end restaurant.
The so-called high-level, translated as asking for a lot of money. But you get what you pay for, and the taste is also a must.
Everyone cheered and hugged Zhang Chun to leave the yamen, leaving only a few poor people who had to stay on duty.
Several adults also greeted each other, ready to go and relax.
When Chen Liu returned to Jingzhao Mansion and looked at the deserted yamen, he wondered if he had been trapped in the pole for the past few days, and Jingzhao Mansion had been raided?
"You don't have to go to work anymore?"
At this time, the old Zhang Tou, who was in charge of the treasury, saw Chen Liu coming back, and hurriedly greeted him, explaining to him that the yamen was not copied, but went to save up the game in style.
The few people who stayed behind in the yamen were depressed and didn't want to do anything, so they ate and drank to grind foreign workers in the backyard.
"Congratulations, just a few days after I came, I was rewarded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and promoted to the second-class head catcher. Hey, there's five hundred taels left! ”
Chen Liu was a little stunned for a while, and the five hundred taels that had not yet arrived flew away and came again?
He hurriedly followed Lao Zhangtou to sign and draw the pledge, and only after getting the silver did he know that he was not dreaming.
Before leaving, Chen Liu bought a pot of good wine for Lao Zhangtou, and ordered a few drinks and dishes for his colleagues in the mansion.
Walking out of the yamen still feels like a dream.
"Hey, five hundred taels."
Drunken Dream Building, it was not easy to break free from the murder case and resume the business of the past.
Most of the girls started picking up customers as usual, except for one girl.
She sat on the windowsill of her room every day and watched the sun rise and set, waiting for someone who had promised him to take her out.
Which girl doesn't think about spring, and which boy doesn't miss Qing?
In addition to these, Drunken Dream Building rarely produced half a song, with a long and tactful rhyme, and it was obviously a masterpiece, which played a big role in the Drunken Dream Building's turn of business.
It's a pity that there are only half of them.
It is said that the old bustard also spent money to entrust someone to continue the work, but basically either put pen to paper and admit defeat, or it is a dog's tail continuation mink, which is unbearable.
