Chapter 14: Nearness and Sorrow

Yi Shuyuan put down the pen after being a little complacent, and found that the two people around him did not react, especially the main book staring at the words as if he was distracted.

"Lord Bookkeeper, can the words below be considered passed?"

This sentence Yi Shuyuan asked knowingly, he still has a little appreciation, if this word is not enough, then this county government does not need to recruit people.

"Lord Bookkeeper?"

"Huh? Oh, this word is wonderful, wonderful, haven't asked Mr. for his name? ”

When the master book spoke, he actually walked out from behind the table, and specially went to Yi Shuyuan to ask, Yi Shuyuan was slightly nervous in his heart, and he didn't dare to reply in return.

"In Xia Yi Shuyuan, the ancestral home of Yuanjiang County, I only returned recently."

Sure enough, it was foreign, but the name Yi Shuyuan really hadn't heard of it, but he didn't care if he had heard it or not, and the master only knew that this person's calligraphy skills were by no means so simple that they should not be underestimated, and he asked with some troubles.

"Mr. Yi isn't here to find the official to be happy, right? Sir, do you really want to be that clerk? ”

Now Yi Shuyuan wondered, is this job the same as the deed of sale? Can you get in or out? So he asked carefully

"Lord Bookkeeper, this scribe is only allowed to enter but not to leave?"

"How is this possible, I'm just afraid that Mr. will become an official in the future and be looked down upon......"

Yi Shuyuan was relieved, he was still afraid of being looked down upon? During this time, he was almost seen as a monkey and a diorama, so he smiled lightly, being an official was too far away from him, and the ancient examination was terrible.

"The master bookkeeper is too worried, Yi is used to being lazy and free all his life, and he has no intention of being an official at all."

Seeing that he said this, the master didn't want to ask anymore, he naturally hoped that Yi Shuyuan would stay in his heart, he nodded, and prepared to start the deed.

This paper deed is equivalent to a contract, and the above terms are not harsh for Yi Shuyuan, Yi Shuyuan said that he lives in Xihe Village, and it is inconvenient to go back and forth to the county office.

After reading all the terms, Yi Shuyuan wrote down Xihe Village in his current place of residence and signed his name.

"Then please sir! Two days later, do you need me to send someone to Xihe Village to pick up Mr. and help him bring some luggage? ”

"Don't bother, come lightly, you don't have anything to bring."

"In that case, Wu Minggao is waiting here!"

The main bookkeeper relaxed a little in his heart, and directly signed up for himself, and Yi Shuyuan was also relieved in his heart.

Then Yi Shuyuan and the chief bookkeeper saluted each other, and went out along the same road under the leadership of the messenger, and he needed to report here two days later, which was considered to be the official start of work.

Yi Shuyuan is also very relieved, he didn't expect that he could really find a suitable job directly today, and even help him get rid of the relatively disturbing environment, as for how to say it when he goes back, he will be carried out of the county office.

In the room of the official office, the master bookkeeper said goodbye to Yi Shuyuan with a smile, and after standing at the door and not seeing the back of the other party, his body jumped suddenly, and he arrived in front of the public case, carefully picked up the rice paper, carefully admired the calligraphy, and was afraid that the ink that had not dried would flow down, so he quickly put it back on the table and took a closer look.

A lot of calligraphy needs to be carefully tipped out to see the attainments, and the word in front of you, just the first glimpse has a faint charm, this is the most difficult place, whether it can be compared with the ancients is not easy to say, but it is absolutely unimaginable in time.

"Good words, good poems, such attainments at such a young age! In the future, it will surely become a generation of famous people all over the world! ”

The master book muttered to himself, waiting carefully for the ink on the rice paper to dry, this one, of course, must be framed and kept privately, otherwise he will not be able to buy any famous real works as the master bookkeeper.

"Oops, I didn't let Mr. Yi pay off! But there is still a chance to ......."

The main book was still secretly there, outside the county office, Yi Shuyuan had just said goodbye to the two messengers, and a person who was so anxious that he was sweating heavily finally found Yi Shuyuan, and he didn't care that it was the county office, so he hurriedly rushed over.

"Uncle, uncle, where have you been? I'm in a hurry! ”

Yi Shuyuan walked over quickly and glared at Yi Yong'an, the latter's voice immediately lowered, and while quickly keeping up with Yi Shuyuan's pace, he politely handed over an oiled paper package from his hand, which contained several steaming buns.

"Uncle, try it, the buns in Tongxinlou are filled with vegetables and meat!"

Yi Shuyuan was not polite, he reached out and grabbed one and took a bite, with the blessing of his own hunger, he only felt that the buns were very delicious, and he ate one in a few bites.

"Next time, Uncle will take you to eat the hard dishes of Tongxinlou!"

After painting the cake, Yi Shuyuan reached out and took another bun to eat, he didn't buy more buns, there were three of them, and the rest of the lunch was the nest head he brought, and Yi Yongan hurriedly grabbed the last one.

"It's delicious, by the way, uncle, why are you in the county office?"

"I found an errand and can earn some money, I have hands and feet, I can't let your family support it, right?"

The two of them walked as they talked, and they were already about to rush back, Yi Shuyuan looked back, and the two messengers seemed to be looking in his direction from afar.

-----------------

In the evening, the Yi family's kitchen is on the counterside, there is still a faint flame in the stove, and the dining table is placed in this relatively warm room, and the oil is dancing from time to time as the indoor lighting.

"What? Brother, you are going to the county government to be a clerk, how far away is it! ”

Yi Baokang was still stunned, and his wife stepped on his toes under the table, and said to Yi Shuyuan with a smile.

"It's a good thing that the uncle is looking for an errand to do, by the way, uncle, how much salary does the county government give you?"

When the elders spoke, Yi Yong'an and his wife and children were eating silently on the side, but their ears were paying attention, Yi Yong'an had also asked his uncle before, but he just smiled and didn't say much on the way.

Hearing Zhao's words, Yi Shuyuan thought about it for a while and didn't say it completely truthfully, and folded it fifty percent to say the number, after all, the master book said that the treatment he gave was definitely the highest.

"According to the daily book of no less than 2,000 words, you can get one bucket of rice and five buckets, and the copper coin is calculated at the market price."

Of course, writing county records is not as simple as transcribing, you have to check the old and supplement the new, you have to summarize and sort out, you have to record it into a book, etc., but Yi Shuyuan said it in a way that the people at the table could understand.

"A bucket of five liters of rice!" "One bucket and five ......"

Yi Baokang's daughter-in-law Zhao exclaimed, this is big white rice, not millet or something like that, converting the current price of rice, how can it cost seventy or eighty yuan, which is not a small amount for rural farmers.

Farmers have grain but not much money, and even if someone collects grain, they will not try to lower the price in the countryside.

Yi Yongan and his wife couldn't help but whisper.

"That's a lot!" "How much is that?"

"It's almost a hundred dollars!" "That's all for a day, huh?"

You must know that Yi Yongan thought that he would not be back to the city a few times a year, and he gritted his teeth to buy a few buns from Tongxinlou, but it only cost nine yuan, and he could eat a bowl of Suyang spring noodles for three yuan.

Only the child's buttocks are swaying in the position like a wheel, and I don't know what the adults are exhaling.

Zhao's face became full of smiles, and he kicked Yi Baokang twice, and when he saw that he didn't speak, he opened his own mouth, and his face immediately changed from happy to a little sighing.

"Hey, or the uncle has the ability, it is difficult for us to provide for the elderly of our father and mother over the years, my mother has been sick all the year round, and she is always calling for the uncle, if only the uncle came back soon!"

This uncle Zhao's shouting has never been so cordial and sincere.

Zhao's words can be heard by everyone, Yi Baokang's old face is about to turn red, and he is about to speak when he opens his mouth, but he is suppressed by Yi Shuyuan who speaks first.

"Brother and sister, don't worry, as an elder brother, I will definitely make up for the vacancy over the years, let's eat."

Saying that, Yi Shuyuan patted Yi Baokang's shoulder, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables to eat, just ordering pickles and radishes and eating them with relish, which was happier than any day here before, how could he not know the measurement in Zhao's heart.

"Don't look, eat!" "Oooh!"

"Uncle, can you eat this egg......"

Zhao pretended to hand over the only hard-boiled egg, but to her surprise, Yi Shuyuan took it without refusing, and slapped it twice on the corner of the table, and began to dial it up.

After the egg was picked, Yi Shuyuan glanced at Zhao, shook his head with a smile, and put his hand in the bowl of the child on the table.

Putting the last bite of rice into his mouth, in Zhao's slightly embarrassed expression, Yi Shuyuan got up and left the table.

-----------------

This night, Yi Shuyuan was very down-to-earth when he fell asleep, because the livelihood problem was temporarily solved, and the troubles in this world were reduced by half.

But after waking up in the second half of the night, Yi Shuyuan still had some insomnia, his worries were slightly relieved, his homesickness was attacking, and his future was still very confused, how should I live in this life? There is also a kind of faint apprehension like when I was looking for a job for the first time in my previous life.

Yi Shuyuan's thoughts continued to extend, this world is too big, I don't know where the boundary is, this world is too strange, I don't know what is outside.

That strange snake is a monster, right? If it's really a monster, then what about ghosts, gods, immortals, and Buddhas?

Yi Shuyuan was very conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he hoped to have, after all, few people could not yearn for these at all, but on the other hand, he hoped that there would be none, because there was an unknown and dangerous.

It's a pity that martial arts are difficult to practice, and according to the statement that he knocked on the side of Ah Fei, Yi Shuyuan has already passed the time to forge martial arts.
