Chapter 26 Parents' Heart

　The banquet lasted until midnight.

The next day when Dad woke up from a hangover, he saw the big baggage.I asked my old lady who was sitting at the end of the bed and put on the soles of her shoes, "What's inside?"

"Look for yourself."

"Based on my experience, it should be a string of money, about thirty strings." The old man opened it up and saw that it was exactly the same. He said proudly, "Look, my skill is still the same as before, right?"

"Don't be complacent." The old woman gave him a white look and said, "I can't ask for this money."

"Why not?" The old man disagreed and said, "Lin Rongxing has caused me so much misery, and it's only right to bleed." Obviously, it's impossible to understand the black-bellied old man's heart just by looking at the surface.

"The Lin family is not well off now." The old lady sighed and said, "In the past two years, I have been suing for lawsuits and letting the internal thieves go smoothly. Spending money is like a waste of water. If I collect the money, I guess I will have to sell my father's land. " She was really right, if there was no money spent by the Lin family, the efficiency of the retrial of this case would not be so high, at least Wang Xingye must still be drying salt in the salt field now.

At this time when copper is expensive and money is cheap, thirty copper coins is really a big number.The old man asked strangely: "Fucking mother, what's wrong with you, isn't it a Pixiu?"

"You're the only one who can get in and out!" The old woman gave him a sharp look and said, "I have my own reasons for doing things."

"What's the point, let's hear it?" The old man crawled over and put his arms around the old woman's waist.

"Be honest, it's in broad daylight." But the old lady slapped her away and said, "I've fallen in love with the girl from the Lin family."

"Oh..." The old man sat up and said, "You want to tell Xiao Er a daughter-in-law? Then you really can't ask for this money." He said strangely: "You mean sister Lin Rongxing?"

"There are two Miss Lin?"

"Are you kidding me?" The old man laughed and said, "She is a young lady from a scholarly family, can you see Xiao Er?"

"Don't look down on your son," the old lady said with a white look at him, "He doesn't follow you anywhere else, but his ability to hook girls is better than yours." Talking about the situation observed in the past two months, of course, including the part of brain supplementation , Tell Dad.

"Oh? Oh? Oh!" The old man suddenly said after hearing this: "My boy, the timing is really good, and this matter can be done!" He put on his shoes and went down the tunnel: "It's not too late, I have to take advantage of it." The warmth of the Lin family has not yet passed, and they cooked raw rice for mature rice."

"That's what it means." The old lady nodded and said, "Clean up and go!"

"Okay." The old man ate a few mouthfuls of breakfast indiscriminately, and then went out with the burden on his back. He didn't come back until the afternoon with a belch, still carrying the burden on his back.

"Why, it didn't work?" It was a rare time for my old lady to be upset when she saw money.

"How should I put it..." The old man threw the burden on the bed and said, "Pour a bowl of water first."

The old woman took a bowl of water, poured it on the old man and said, "Quickly tell me, you're going to suffocate me!"

"Oh, you foolish bitch, you made me lose my life." The old man wiped his mouth, glared at the old woman and said, "Lin Xiucai's father has only been dead for a year, and he is keeping the rules! Anyway, I have worked for six years." The person in charge of the case, now running to propose a marriage, is just a joke..."

"What's wrong with the filial piety, let's take it first." The old lady didn't care and said, "What did the Lin family say?"

"The Lin family has no objection. They said that as long as the two children are willing, we can hire them after they have been served."

"I knew there would be things I couldn't do without you!" said the old lady overjoyed.

"Don't be too happy," said the old man, curling his lips. "Later, Lin Xiucai invited me to dinner. He told me at the dinner that he was going to take care of the family business. After he resumed his student status, he would move back to his hometown in Suzhou."

"Go to Suzhou..." The old lady could understand that although Lin Xiucai was rehabilitated, he was cuckolded by his wife, and the Zhao family became a prostitute later, which made Lin Rongxing unable to hold his head up in front of the folks.Going to Suzhou to recuperate and start over in another place is a perfectly normal choice.

But Suzhou is four hundred miles away from Fuyang. Although it is not far away, in this day and age, it is like a sea of ​​heaven forever separated.The old woman said anxiously: "If the Lin family moves to Suzhou, my daughter-in-law will disappear!"

"Yeah." The old man nodded, and said with a wry smile, "But I can't just rely on the fact that the Lin family is ashamed of me, so I can make excessive demands." He patted the bag of money and said, "It's still true, with this, Are you worried that your son won’t be able to marry a wife?”

"That's different. No matter how rich you are, you can't find a well-educated girl with a lantern." But the old lady didn't agree with him and said, "I still hope that my grandson will be a scholar. This Miss Lin , I still have to die!"

"You can keep her if you have the ability." The old man muttered, "Anyway, I have no choice." He turned over and fell asleep.

"I don't believe in these shoes anymore!" the old lady said emphatically, stabbing the awl on the upper of the shoe.

.

In the next few days, the old colleagues in the father's yamen took turns sitting in the manor to invite him to dinner, and those who were considerate like Hu Butou and Li Sili even came to the house to give money.It wasn't that they had a sudden kindness and felt that they wanted to help their old boss, but they knew that old man Wang would definitely be promoted.Moreover, he was already an official, and he was an official one step up.Although he is appointed not to be an official in Fuyang, who can say what will happen in the future?Sending charcoal in the snow is always beneficial.

That night, my father invited Li Sili to the house alone for dinner, and the two of them were drinking and talking gossip, and the topic naturally couldn't be separated from the affairs of the yamen.

"The county lord is doing well this time." Li Sili took a sip of his wine and said, "With the prestige of overturning the iron case, he has done a lot of things in the yamen."

"Hehe..." Father naturally heard that there was a sense of waiting to see a joke in these words, but what he cared about was not the county magistrate, but the seat vacated by Xu Shuli: "Some people are happy and others are sad, that kid Xu Shan It's over."

"That's natural." Li Guan nodded and said bitterly: "This bastard, who eats all kinds of things, dares not to say anything after collecting He Chang's black money, he deserves it!"

"The seat he vacated..." The old man said indifferently, "Many people must be staring at it."

"That's natural." Li nodded.There are very few official establishments in the yamen, and the establishment is the so-called "Jingzhi officials". There are only three officials in each room, one secretary and two officials. This is set by Lord Hongwu.But Zhu Yuanzhang obviously thought that other people were as energetic as himself.However, the complicated affairs of all parties are not competent for two or three scribes. In order to handle the affairs, the Yamen hired a number of "book offices" to help write documents and "assistants" to help run errands. Staff members are called "non-economic officials", which actually means temporary workers.

The number of non-economic officials is much larger than that of official officials. Who doesn't want to change from temporary workers to formal staff?However, the establishment of Jingzhi officials is the ancestral system, and no one can change it. Only the vacancies can be filled. This time, when a prison official capsizes, one can imagine how many people will covet it.

"Are you sure?" Dad asked anxiously.

"No." Li Guan shook his head, looked at his father and said, "Old brother, you are about to become an official, and you still want to compete with the younger ones for jobs?"

"First, an official's tail is not as good as an official's. It's really hard to say what I will become in the future." The old man poured Li Guan a glass of wine and said, "Besides, it's not me who wants to do it, but my son."

"Oh," Li Guan scratched his head and said, "Brother's business is my business, but unfortunately, I, as the secretary of the punishment room, can't appoint my own subordinates. Now all the rooms are staring at this gap, and Mr. Guo You're so worried..." After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you the truth, don't waste your time, it is said that this vacancy has already been taken away by Master Sima."

"What does he want this for?" Dad asked disappointedly.

"Who knows? Hard-boiled economic officials, selling money for favors are all the best." Li Guan said with a smile: "If I don't mind, this time I'm free to help out, I can do this It’s up to you. It’s better to let the eldest nephew do it first, and when there is an opportunity, try to convert it to the classic system.”

"Uh..." Dad frowned slightly. He knew the way of the yamen better than anyone else, so he naturally knew that the 'helpers' were mainly running errands.Thinking about it, he shook his head and said: "The job of assistant is not very profitable, at least it must be a book office. Only those who can write and count can be profitable."

"For the book office, you can try it." Li Guandao: "However, the selection of scribes can only be hired after the master of Sanya has personally passed the exam." He said with a wry smile: "My nephew can't even write, how can he pass the test?"

"Don't look at people with old eyes." The old man said with a sneer, "My family's Erlang's calligraphy can already be recognized." He turned out a piece of paper and handed it to him: "Although he is still very unfamiliar, but in the yamen , should be enough."

Li Guan took it over and saw that it was indeed the case.The heart said that it would not be written by someone else.Then he smiled and said, "Well, I'll talk to the official room later, and I have to find a way out for my eldest nephew."

After sending Li Guan away, the father saw that Wang Xian was still practicing calligraphy in the room, so he walked in and asked, "Xiaoer, why do you practice calligraphy every day?"

"Father, I want to support myself, but I can't do strenuous work for a while." Wang Xian said with a wry smile, "I have to practice calligraphy first, so that I can find a job of writing and calculating."

"It's good to have this kind of ambition," the old man nodded and said, "I've already told you Uncle Guan today, I'll give you a gift after a while, and let you be a secretary, how about it?"

"Uh..." Wang Xian didn't know what to say.In fact, he had been waiting for Sima Qiu to say that he would find a job for him, but he didn't know anything about it.

But the old man thought that he thought the book office was a temporary worker, and scolded him with a stern face: "You brat is not satisfied. Back then, my father worked hard for several years before he became a book office! If you do a good job, I will let you Uncle Guan will keep an eye on you, if there is any vacancy in the future, it will be yours."

"Father, you misunderstood." Wang Xian sighed softly and said, "I am content."

"That's about the same. I'll hurry up these few days to finalize this matter." Then the old man nodded and said, "In order not to have long nights and dreams."

"Let daddy worry about it." Wang Xian wanted to say, I was actually going to look for Sima Qiu, but thinking of the many avenues and hope, I didn't say anything.
