Chapter 156: test
Chapter 156 Exploration
The quadruplets don't like the old grandpas of the Lin family very much. They feel that they are not as friendly as Grandpa Nie and Grandpa Chang, and they don't buy them pastries. Then became active again.
Sambo Lin Ruichong pouted, pulled Chu Nanzhi with some dissatisfaction and complained: "Aniang, why did you promise grandpa to help him investigate the matter? We don't want you to help him."
Erbao Lin Ruixi stuck her waist in, and said a little angrily: "Grandpa Nie would bring us red bean cakes every time he lived in the village, and the patriarch's grandfather would not buy red bean cakes for us when he lived in the county."
How could Chu Nanzhi fail to see the thoughts of this group of foodies? Thinking about it, I haven’t been to the city for a while, and the money sent by the Shen family has to be exchanged for bank notes some time. Lin Jinxiao brought back some herbs.
She comforted the little treasures with a smile: "Mother promised the elder of the Lin family to do things for him, of course it is also for the future planning of our own family. Do you want to eat red bean cakes? Tomorrow mother will go to the city to buy them for you."
Little Four Treasures Lin Ruijia is not very interested in eating red bean cakes. What she is looking forward to most now is raising fish. Pulling Chu Nanzhi, she can't wait to ask: "Mother, when will we raise fish?"
"almost."
This matter is what the Chu family is going to do right now. She hugged the four treasures and discussed with the family: "Father, mother, I am afraid that such a big pond will require many people to clean it. I will use some money to pay for it. Please call more clan relatives and village neighbors to help me, and clean up the pond earlier."
"Okay, after dinner, I will ask your father to talk to those people in the clan, don't worry about money."
As Liu Yun said, she looked at Lin Jinxiao meaningfully: "The money in your hand will be kept to open the restaurant, and you will instruct Shu Yang and your father to do things on this side of the pond. If you need money, you can use the hundred dollars sent by Her Highness the Princess." Two grains of silver."
When the funeral was over, she originally wanted to hand over Princess Jinshu's silver to her son-in-law, but the son-in-law asked the family to keep it, so now she had to take it out and take care of the fish pond first.
A while ago, I spent more than two hundred taels of silver on my daughter, but now I can no longer leave this money to my own family, after all, it is the favor of my son-in-law.
Chu Nanzhi didn't refute any more, acting separately just improved the efficiency of work.
Thinking that today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, the spiritual tablet upstairs has been hidden for a long time and has not had time to dispose of it. While Liu Yun led the Chu family sisters to the kitchen to cook, she went upstairs alone to prepare to dispose of it quietly.
But when she opened the cabinet, she found that there was no sign of the spirit card inside. She was panicking, but she saw Lin Jinxiao walking in slowly with the quadruplets.
Sambo Lin Ruichong came over to grab her mischievously, and said with a mysterious smile: "Mother, that thing you made is fun, and I want to learn it too. It can be used to scare bad guys in the future. Can you teach me, Mother?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the little guy angrily, squatted down, and softly "hush" to the little treasures: "That is only for dead people, so you can't play it anywhere, you must keep it in the future." This matter is rotten in the stomach and no one can say it, or A Niang will not like you in the future."
Little Four Treasure Lin Ruijia's small eyes flickered, she nodded first, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, just now Uncle took Brother Muci to go out, you are not at home, Dad helped you take it down and burn it. .”
The other three little guys didn't intend to tell this matter at first, but after hearing what she said, they were afraid that she would really get angry because of this matter, so they all glared at Sanbao angrily, and promised each of them: "Aunt , we will definitely not talk about it.”
Sanbao also realized that he shouldn't have made such a request. He rubbed his little finger, grimaced, and said, "Aniang, I won't say it either. I don't want Aniang to teach this. Then Aniang will go to the city tomorrow." Can you buy us another toy?"
They didn’t bring any toys from home, and their greatest joy now is spinning tops.
"Okay, Auntie promises you."
Chu Nanzhi stood up with a smile, and casually glanced at Lin Jinxiao.
Lin Jinxiao consciously went to the bedside to pick up the crutch and put it in his hand, expressing that he was very obedient.
Afterwards, he pulled Chu Nanzhi to the side of the bed and sat down, and said gently: "When I go back to the county government office and get a job, I will have a salary that will be enough to support the whole family. If you find it hard, you don't have to go out all day. "
The Dahe Empire’s treatment of officials at all ranks is actually pretty good. In addition to the silver salary, there are corresponding grains every month. In comparison, life is relatively affluent.
Chu Nanzhi roughly calculated his salary after taking office. According to the treatment of a fifth-rank Beijing official, a monthly salary of 25 taels of silver and 20 shi of grain, plus a year-end bonus, the income of more than 500 taels of silver a year , even if he is not as good at making money as Hu Maoxi, in fact, the small life can indeed be very nourishing.
If you make great achievements, let alone a reward from the imperial court.
But she didn't understand the meaning of this guy's words. Could it be that she was testing herself and didn't want to get back together?
This is not okay.
Although she admits that this guy is indeed irresistibly attractive, she doesn't want to hang herself on a tree with a crooked neck in a daze.
If there is a chance, she still wants to go to Jingling City to see the outside world.
Straightening her posture, she deliberately exaggerated and said: "Your salary is not enough for my mother, and you have seen it too. My mother will not blink her eyes when she buys mutton cakes and high-end fruits from teahouses in the county. It’s all a dozen taels of silver going out.”
I wanted to scare him with these alarmist remarks, but before Lin Jinxiao opened his mouth, the little guys were not happy at that time, they gathered around and begged in unison: "Mother, we will not eat mutton pies in the future, don't you?" Now that we’ve eaten bananas and apples, we’ll just eat rice, and we don’t want Madam to buy new clothes, Mama, can you listen to Daddy?”
"Your mother has her own ideas, you can't ask your mother like this."
Lin Jinxiao spoke calmly, but felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
What I said just now was indeed to ask her with a tentative mentality, but I stopped thinking about it without thinking about a word from her. I really didn't expect that she would be so contemptuous of the official wife of a fifth-rank official family.
Undoubtedly, when it comes to the means of making money, even if you sit in the same position as Chang Lao did at the beginning, if there is no imperial reward, just relying on salary alone is not enough to be compared with those merchants, but being an official and being a businessman are two different things after all. Generally speaking, the policy is still to suppress luxury businessmen.
For her, I have been gradually compromising, but thinking that every time she handles a case for a rich family, she will receive hundreds of taels of silver, and she is unambiguous in spending the money. I really feel sorry for myself.
Do you really want to learn from Hu Maoxi, nodding and bowing among the rich and powerful all day long to fish for money?
He really can't do this.
