Chapter 87 The villain has officially started the plot
Under the setting sun, Lu Yi moved the table to the yard.
Others came out carrying one dish after another.
The aroma of the vegetables is so fragrant that it makes everyone's greedy people scream.
"My sister's craftsmanship is getting better and better, and I can go to the city and open a restaurant."
Mu Zhenghan looked at the golden fried fish, crispy pancakes, stir-fried vegetables with green peppers, stir-fried vegetables, and a meatball soup in front of him. He felt that the happiest moment in his life was enjoying the food.
"It's so sweet, let's eat more later." Mu Siyu came out with the last plate of sweet and sour pork ribs. "Okay, everyone is here, sit down and eat!"
Mrs. Tong was a little restrained, and Mu Siyu sat beside her. Only in this way could she feel more comfortable.
"Sister, thank you so much for today. I went into the mountains to cut firewood, and I didn't know something like that happened at home. If it weren't for you, my mother would be confused again."
"Hey, you were wrong this time. Mom was not confused. She always remembered what you said and didn't let them enter the house."
Mu Siyu defended Tong and cheered her up.
Tong's ears are soft, and she will be intimidated by others' words. If she can encourage her from time to time, she might be able to keep up her efforts next time.
"Really?" Mu Zhenghan looked at Tong with suspicion.
Mrs. Tong wrung her fingers: "As you said, I didn't let them in."
If Yu Yatou didn't come over, she wouldn't be able to hold on anymore. Fortunately... fortunately...
"By the way, didn't you say you have something to announce?" Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi. "Now that everyone is here, go ahead and say it!"
Lu Yi looked at the people in front of him and said, "I went into the city today and found a job as a scribe at the county government office, earning five taels of silver a month."
Five taels of silver was considered a high price in ancient times, and waiters could only earn a few hundred pennies a month. Furthermore, working as a scribe in a county government was equivalent to a civil servant, and not everyone could do it.
"Brother, you are so awesome." Lu Xuan couldn't help but be happy. "That's great. From now on, brother won't have to go hunting in the mountains. If you work as a scribe in the county government, you can be considered a member of the government."
Mu Siyu looked at Lu Yi with a complicated expression.
This is good news for others, but not so good for her.
In the original work, Lu Yi also became a scribe, but that experience was not that wonderful. He just walked into the abyss step by step and could never get out again.
Everyone is excited. If she says it's not appropriate at this time, no one will listen, and they will think that she is a woman without knowledge.
Lu Yi noticed Mu Siyu's abnormality and asked, "You don't agree?"
A pair of eyes looked at Mu Siyu.
"Isn't it?" Lu Xuan said: "Fifty taels of silver is not a small amount. Those rich masters often give rewards, and the gray income is higher than the official income. This is a good thing!"
Mu Siyu smiled lightly: "It's a good thing."
Look! Everyone thinks this is pie in the sky, and her saying ‘no’ at this time will definitely be misunderstood by everyone.
"I...will still come back every day." Lu Yi coughed lightly.
Mu Siyu blinked: "Oh!"
What does it mean?
Could it be that he thought she couldn't let him go?
Okay! Not to mention, the more you say it, the easier it is to make people suspicious.
"What are you responsible for as a scribe?" Mu Siyu pretended to be curious.
"There are many kinds of scribes. My position is to copy some cases and prepare and store the information of some cases."
"Oh!" It seems to be different from the original work.
In the original work, he was also a scribe, but he was in charge of the Criminal Department, and then followed several scribes to go out from time to time to investigate cases, so he was dragged into the water.
"Is there any more wine? There is a happy event today, should I have two drinks?" Lu Xuan asked.
"I finished drinking it yesterday." Mu Siyu said, "I didn't go into town today and didn't buy anything."
"Stingy." Lu Xuan muttered.
After eating, Ms. Tong scrambled to wash the dishes. Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Mu Siyu did not compete with her to do the work, but repaired the broken chair while there was still light.
Lu Yi came out of the cold shower and saw her squatting there, banging on a broken chair, and stopped behind him.
"Do you have anything to say today?"
Mu Siyu stopped tapping the chair and looked up at him: "No!"
"Yes." Lu Yi said calmly: "You can't hide things from your eyes. I will leave early tomorrow, so if you have anything to say, you might as well say it now."
"Okay! I do have something to say." Mu Siyu stood up. "I heard before that a county government has many clerks, and these clerks are responsible for different positions. Of course, this has nothing to do with you. But I
I heard that some scribes took other people's money to help make some fake cases and help escape some guilt. I know you don't know how. Isn't this worrying about you? If you are dragged into the water by them, you will be exposed when you are exposed.
You push it out..."
"Don't worry, I can't." Lu Yi frowned. "But... thank you."
While everyone was happy for him to get a good job, she was thinking about his safety. This woman...
It seems that he has become her husband.
The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous.
Although she didn't say a word, the way Lu Yi looked at her changed.
"Then, I'll keep busy and you can rest early."
Mu Siyu knelt down and continued to repair the chair.
Lu Yi took two steps, stopped and said, "That chair has been repaired. Don't knock it any more, or it will fall apart."
Mu Siyu stopped awkwardly.
Mrs. Tong walked out of the kitchen: "Girl Yu, mother has gone back. Don't ask mother to come over tomorrow. Zhenghan and I can eat whatever we want. If you let us come over to eat all day long, the whole village will gossip."
"Mom, why do you care so much about what others say? What's wrong with you helping me and eating here? Besides, Shaoyu's father is going to the city on errands tomorrow. From now on, we will be the only ones supporting the family. You are the backbone.
." Mu Siyu said: "Unless you don't want to help me anymore."
"No, how could it be?"
"Then it's settled. You and Brother Han will still have dinner at our house." Mu Siyu said, and said to Lu Yi in the room: "You have to run errands every day, why don't we rent an ox cart?"
"No need yet." Lu Yi's voice came from inside. "I'll take the carriage from Jiang's Restaurant."
Lu Yi left the plot, and Mu Siyu was still responsible for the family affairs.
In fact, for Mu Siyu, this is no different from before.
The business of Jiang's Restaurant was affected, so she had to think of other ways. For example, she asked Mu Zhenghan to recruit children from the village to fish for river shrimps, small fish, eels, shells and other things, and then added new supplies to Jiang's Restaurant.
Dishes.
"Three taels of silver." Mu Siyu counted all the silver. "It looks like a lot, but actually it can't do much."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Lu Zhiyun came over.
"I'm counting the money." Mu Siyu touched Lu Zhiyun's hair. "I can't be passive, I have to take the initiative. Those small boxes are a waste of time and I don't have much money. I have to make something big."
