With this realization, he originally planned to hide half of the story and tell the other half, but Jin Liu, who took advantage of his chopsticks, immediately gave up his wishful thinking. He almost poured out all the news that he had learned through iron shoes in the past few days.
It turns out that Mr. Xu Liu, who has now been promoted to the position of experience department, did not stand out when he was young due to his family affiliation. Although he later became a scholar, he only left his childhood career at the age of twenty-six and became a scholar.
Compared with his predecessors, he was far inferior. He only passed the provincial examination twice and passed the imperial examination. Then he became the chief secretary step by step, and found a position as the governor of the experience department in Yingtian Mansion.
The experience of being promoted for the first time has completely eliminated the word "unfashionable" in one fell swoop. For someone who is most particular about his background in imperial examinations, he, who comes from an informal background, has only been an official for nine years and has reached this point, which is already quite a skill.
However, Xu You's family is not considered to be well-off, and the Experience Department is just a government office that specializes in archives and other miscellaneous matters. The whole Yingtianfu government office is by no means a top-notch place when it comes to business matters. But even so, he was born in Nanjing.
It can be said that it is very rare for a person to find such a position in charge of a department in the local area. According to Jin Liu's guess, Mr. Xu Liu, who has a very good reputation in Taiping, did not know how to get it.
How much.
"I see."
After Jin Liu's long speech, Xu Xun just gave these concise and concise four words. However, his actions were much more generous than his words, and he directly asked Ruisheng to reward Jin Liu with a lot of money. Sure enough,
Jin Liu, who was holding the heavy green clams in his hands, reached the door and suddenly slapped his head hard, then turned back.
"Look at my poor memory, I even forgot about serious things." Jin Liu seemed not to realize that he suddenly changed his self-identification, his face was full of regret and shame, "It is said that the eldest master, the third master and the fourth master discussed the family property
Everyone would share some of the dividends and give an extra 10% to the Sixth Master. This news was probably released intentionally, so I only found out about it. As for how many gifts they would give at that time, each family kept it secret.
As for the adults I mentioned last time, several other managers will appreciate them, and it is said that the fifth young master of Dayin's family is going to come to see the fun, so even if Er Yin and San Yin don't come, the younger generation will have to
Come. The place where the banquet is held is Kuiyuan Building on Gongyuan Street. It was originally the place where the candidates passed the exam. However, the Sixth Master likes elegance and loves pens, inks, paper, inkstones, calligraphy and paintings by famous people. Of course, the younger members of the clan
If your good words can be praised by him, it will be a matter of honor. However, it is said that the eldest master has said that it will be embarrassing if you go, so you are not included in it at all."
"Well, you have inquired in detail. After you go back, rest early. You have worked hard today. Come with me out early tomorrow morning."
This time, Xu Xun nodded thoughtfully, but asked Ruisheng to send Jin Liu out of the second door, and then locked it. Although he didn't have a clock, and he didn't go out to see the ancient copper hourglass in the bright room, he knew that it was already there.
It was very late, and although he took off his shoes and sat on the bed, he was not even half sleepy. While he was deep in thought, he only heard the sound of footsteps, and after a while, Ruisheng came back.
However, compared to the unhappy look on his face when he rewarded Sixth Sister-in-law last time, his face at this time was obviously even more ugly, so Xu Xun only glanced at it and said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, a thousand pieces of gold scattered will come back again.
Don't feel bad."
"It's easy for the young master to say it. The monthly expenses of the family plus the monthly money of brother Jin Liu and sister-in-law Jin Liu are about four or five taels of silver. But since I have been in charge of money, the money you have taken out, young master, has been less."
It is said that there are one hundred taels. The remaining ten taels of silver are enough to be used until the end of the year, but we also need to prepare a favor for the fourth master. Master, if you make such a big move, how will we spend the second half of the year?
"
Xu Xun couldn't help but secretly smile bitterly when Ting Ruisheng's calculations were in order. Although he was called a young master now, his situation was not comparable to when he was a young man in his previous life. It was even worse than when he was at his most desolate. But the whole family was just like that.
With such a few people, no matter how flexibly he uses them, he has to pay a corresponding price. Although Jin Liu will not work hard on some things in order to have a place to live, but to tie people up is a matter of interests and benefits. There is only harm but no benefit.
, wouldn’t people jump into the water to save themselves when they see a ship sinking?
So, he raised his hand to signal Ruisheng to sit down, and then he said, "How much money do we have left?"
The words "we" made Ruisheng's face feel a lot more comfortable. He counted it with his fingers and said seriously: "There are still four taels of money, a ten tael of silver ingots, and an additional three taels of powder."
Broken silver, there are about two hundred guan of new treasure notes from last year."
Although these are different measurement figures, Xu Xun is no longer the first to visit your place, and he has a rough idea of the number in his mind. One tael of silver is said to be exchanged for a lot of money, but in the market, it is more than enough, and two hundred guan of treasure banknotes,
The value is only about one tael of silver, not much less. According to this calculation, the cash around him is only about 20 taels at most, which is equivalent to sixty shi of white rice. It is not too little, but it is not too much. It is strange.
I can only blame someone from the past who was too prodigal, otherwise he wouldn't be so tight.
"It's okay. If you give up, you will gain. Today is just one or two small coins. If you have to, you can't even give up big profits." Seeing that Ruisheng was in a hurry and wanted to persuade him again, Xu Xun yawned, "That's all.
It’s late. If you have anything to say, I’ll talk about it tomorrow. By the way, you’ve worked hard today. There’s no reason why I won’t reward you with just six dollars. Just go to the cash box and get one or two pieces of silver. Just think of it as..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind pass by his ears. When he turned around, he saw that Ruisheng had already rushed out of the room angrily. After a moment of daze, he couldn't help but laugh, and lay down with his hands on his pillow.
That Jinliu was slippery and shrewd, but he couldn't do anything without money, but Ruisheng was devoted and loyal!
Early the next morning, Ruisheng, who had had an awkward moment, still appeared in front of Xu Xun on time, but with a lot less words. But after exercise and breakfast, Xu Xun, who had changed his clothes, asked him to buy some cloth and let someone make some shorts.
When he was undressing his unlined shirt, he immediately shook his head like a rattle: "No need to waste money, just buy a piece of cloth. My mother taught me tailoring back then!"
"Okay, I'll leave the cloth buying and tailoring to you." Xu Xun left all these trivial matters to Ruisheng without saying a word, then turned and walked out. When he came to the door, he felt his sleeve being pulled by someone and turned his head.
Seeing Rui Sheng standing there with a look of dismay on his face, he smiled and said, "Why, is there anything else you want to remind me of?"
"How dare I tell the young master..." Ruisheng muttered dullly, and then said, "Anyway, the young master is very thoughtful. Brother Jin Liu is an unreasonable person. God knows what he used to deceive the young master. Don't believe everything he says.
of."
"I know, I know."
Xu Xun almost doubted whether this nagging boy at such a young age was a man, so he immediately stepped over the threshold after agreeing repeatedly. It was already early March, and Jiangnan said it was spring and the flowers were blooming, but it was still warm in the morning.
Han, Xu Xun and Shi Ran came to the second door and saw Jin Liu who had been waiting in the yard outside for a long time. At this time, the man who came towards him ran very fast.
Probably because he rarely went out with Xu Xun, Jin Liu packed up neatly today. He was wearing a plain-colored cloth blouse and a pair of thousand-layer cloth shoes, all washed clean, and a small hat was buckled on his head. After he stepped forward,
He saluted with a smile, and then rolled up his sleeves halfway as if by instinct: "Master, we are..."
