After finishing the meal, the sun was setting and it was already past four in the afternoon.

Mrs. Liang led Xiaomei Liang to stand up and say goodbye, and Mrs. Su did not ask her to stay politely. Their family was really too busy to entertain guests now.

"The men are all in the hotel. It's your first time in the city. The situation has changed a bit. It's not the same as before. I'll take you there." Mrs. Su stood up to see off the Liang family and her daughter.

Su Wen immediately followed, holding Liang Xiaomei's arm, "I will also send my sister off."

The two little girls covered their mouths again, lowered their heads and laughed muffledly.

Looking back on the past, how could she go out as soon as she wanted? Su Wen looked back at her grandmother, who chose to be out of sight and out of mind, and left with her mother-in-law who was waiting for her.

As daughters-in-law, Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Su looked at each other and felt a little grateful for Xu Jiajun's arrival.

If the Xu family army continues to develop like this and can withstand the imperial court's suppression of rebellion, then in the next few decades, I am afraid there will be no such thing as "a daughter-in-law who has been married for many years becomes a mother-in-law".

Because there is no need to endure it anymore, it will naturally disappear.

After leaving the Su Mansion and heading to the Xu Jiajun Hotel, Mrs. Liang finally found the opportunity to ask Mrs. Su about the women working in the yamen.

Mrs. Su replied: "It's true. All the previous officials were withdrawn by the Xu family army. There is a shortage of manpower. They need a lot of female accountants. Of course, there are also women to do other jobs."

"You know the wife of Mr. Fa Cao in the past, right?"

Mrs. Liang nodded. This lady is a well-known talented woman in the circle and is the granddaughter of Yan Daru.

Mrs. Su lowered her voice and said: "She is now working as a retainer for Xu Jiajun. Oh, now she is called a judicial consultant. She can participate in all kinds of suggestions about laws and regulations. I only get 30 chips a day as an accountant, and she gets 50

Raise money!"

Mrs. Su spread her hands and let out a long sigh, "Oh~, who is the granddaughter of Yan Daru? Her experience is different from ours."

Mrs. Liang was a little moved when she heard this, she was a female official!

How did the leader of the Xu family come up with something that no woman would have dared to think about for thousands of years?

These women have never had such a bold idea.

Mrs. Liang was very surprised. She did not expect that women could also be officials.

However, not everyone can do it. For example, the counselor's wife has been proficient in the law since she was a child. She also has the former law master Cao as her husband. She has developed her own skills under the influence of her ears and eyes. It seems that it is natural for Xu Jiajun to take a fancy to her.

It's just that there are only a few women like this. Mrs. Liang thought about her own abilities, but she didn't know any of them.

Of course, if managing the inner house is considered a skill.

As if she knew what Mrs. Liang was thinking, Mrs. Su came over to comfort her:

"You can learn it in literacy classes. Once you learn it, you can use it a lot."

"As for algorithms, Xu Jiajun can teach a variety of calculation methods. Now I have literacy classes in the morning, finance room in the afternoon, and I have to study by myself with books when I come back in the evening. The application problems in this math book are really interesting to do."

Mrs. Liang nodded fiercely, this is true.

She also attended the literacy class in the village for several days. Xu Jiajun's arithmetic was indeed unique, and the questions he gave were all closely related to life. Once she learned it, she found it very practical.

"What about Mr. Su? What are their men doing now?" Mrs. Liang asked cryptically.

She was asking about the old officials who had been dismissed by the Xu family army.

Mrs. Su replied: "They are all working hard to learn Xu Jiazi and Mandarin. They are also learning Xu Jiajun's document writing. Now Xu Jiajun has arranged for them to be consultants to assist the new officials assigned to Xujiazhuang..."

"Oh, we don't call them officials or adults anymore. Xu Jiajun calls them by their first names, plus the head of the department. For example, those who are in charge of food are called so-and-so in the food department."

"When they finish their studies and the transformation tasks of Yuyang County are completed, they can also take the imperial examination in Xujiazhuang and continue to work as errands."

"But Xu Jiajun's selection is very fair. If you can't pass the exam and can't answer the questions, your money will be useless."

Mrs. Liang nodded. Xu Jiajun strictly cracked down on bribery and bribery. Someone had already stood up and set an example for everyone, and the end was miserable and daunting.

"After all, we all have a chance?" Mrs. Liang pointed to herself specifically, still not believing that women could take part in this imperial examination.

Mrs. Su pursed her lips and smiled, and joked: "It seems that you have an idea. In fact, so do I. Let's all work hard. When your Han'er said it before, I suddenly felt that it would be good for the Xu Jiajun to win.

right?"

Mrs. Liang looked at the heroic female soldier of the Xu family walking by, and a strange seed in her heart suddenly burst out of her shell.

She smiled and replied: "Why not?"

...

At the government office, after the confession meeting, Xu Yue's family returned to the Yuyang government office where they were temporarily staying.

This building is quite old. It has two spacious courtyards at the front and back. The front is where government officials work, and there is a small courtyard at the back, which is used as a warehouse and a resting place for officials on duty.

Compared with the home in Xujiazhuang, which was warm, comfortable, brightly lit, and equipped with flush toilets and independent bathing, the living conditions in this government office were far worse.

The old house is dimly lit, and the windows are made of thick, opaque yellow paper. It is luxurious, but not as practical as the wooden window lattice of ordinary people's homes. In broad daylight, you have to light an oil lamp to see all the furnishings in the house clearly.

The wooden floor in the room also smells of decay, and the low desk is simply an inhuman office design. Sitting there with your head bent while handling official duties is simply torture.

The futon I sat on also had a damp smell, as if many people had sat on it, leaving traces belonging to everyone on the futon.

There was no other way. Now this place had become a temporary command center. It had to accommodate people and also have office capabilities. Xu Yue had no choice but to move all the office tables, chairs and benches to the bright outdoor yard and build a simple pergola above her head to make do temporarily.

Xu Jiajun has been in the city for a month. From being busy at the beginning to being orderly now, it seems simple, but in fact it has long exhausted the family of five.

As soon as Xu Da entered the room, he fell down on the hardwood that he disliked. Now he has his mother-in-law supporting him and his children cushioning him. He only has to tire his body but not his mind. His life is happier than when he was under Gongsun Zan.

How many times.

Xu Da has always been good at eating soft food. Whenever he has a chance to take a bite, he will definitely not let go.

Auntie has always taught herself not to expect anyone to change anything for you. Therefore, Xu Yue felt calm and unwavering about her father's behavior of lying down when he entered the house.

Junmei brought the food, and it was already time for dinner.

The little girl felt very sorry for her little sister, so she specially made some stir-fried dishes that Xu Yue liked, and also cooked rice.

The clear-grained white rice grains are piled up into small mountains in the white porcelain bowl, which makes people's appetite whet their appetite.
