The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official

Chapter 27: Six Liang

Before Uncle Shutong left, Su Ruojin quietly gave him a trick. If this trick didn't help him see Mr. Fan, then there was nothing she could do. Anyway, the gifts were all made by her own hands. It's all about courtesy but it's all about the intention. It's enough. .

Before going out to play, Su Ruojin did not forget to remind her, "Mom, it's time for you to give your aunt a gift, right?"

 “Isn’t this the same as writing a book?”

They were all waiting for Uncle Shutong. Uncle Shutong was really a busy man. It was really time for the Su family to add more people. Let’s celebrate the New Year first. Su Ruojin suppressed the idea of ​​adding more people and went to the alley to play with Yang Siniang.

In the afternoon, the sun shone in the alley, and the northwest wind was not blowing so fiercely. The children who were detained at home walked out of the house one after another, and gathered in groups to play shuttlecock, roll hoops, or smash sandbags. ...The shouting and laughing intertwined into one, which can make people’s heads explode.

Su Ruojin thought to herself, is she old?

Yang Siniang kicked the shuttlecock towards her, and when she saw it was about to fall to the ground, she was so anxious that she shouted: "Hey, Ah Jin, catch it!"

Su Ruojin quickly stretched out her legs to catch the shuttlecock, but it was a step too late and the shuttlecock still hit the ground.

Yang Siniang came over with her little mouth bulging, "Ah Jin...why don't you answer it?"

“The sun was so bright that I didn’t see you kicking over.”

Yang Siniang didn’t believe it, so she stood with her, the sun was really dazzling her, “Then you are stupid, you can’t turn to the side!”

Su Ruojin left the job and let the little kid say something harsh and chuckle, "Let's start over."

"This time you kick the shuttlecock to me first." Yang Siniang asked Su Ruojin to pick up the shuttlecock and kick it.

 “Okay.” Su Ruojin wanted to pick up the shuttlecock, but someone picked it up first.

Yang Siniang crossed her waist and shouted fiercely: "Xue Wulang, why are you picking up our shuttlecock?"

Xue Wulang ignored the fierce Yang Siniang, faced Su Ruojin, pursed his lips, as if he had something to say, but did not speak.

Su Ruojin calmly waited for the shuttlecock in his hand.

Xue Wulang lowered his head slightly when the young lady looked at him, and turned the shuttlecock in his hand.

The Su family's right-hand house is Yang Si's natal family, and her father, Yang Jingzi, is a supervisory censor. Although his rank is only from the seventh rank, he can supervise hundreds of officials, inspect counties and counties, correct prisons, and clean up court rituals, etc., which is equivalent to the highest level today. Prosecutor of the Procuratorate.

According to Su Ruojin's inquiry, there were only six supervisors and censors in the Yin Dynasty, who were divided into six departments and one hundred divisions. They had great power. Therefore, most outsiders who entered Osmanthus Alley came to see the supervisor Yang.

Some time ago, when Su Ruojin was wholesale selling candied haws on a stick to hawkers, too many hawkers came, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the visitors. Mrs. Yang sent the steward Aunt Zhang to come over and spoke tactfully. After that, Su Ruojin asked Uncle Feng to pull the candied haws out on a mule. , directly connect with vendors at street markets.

Xue Wulang's family is next door to the left. His father, Xue Changcheng, is one of the chief ministers of the Ministry of Works, Zhengliupin. He is responsible for the civil engineering work program of cities other than the capital (the capital is under the responsibility of the Shaofu Supervisor and the General Supervisor). Regardless of the size of the official position, the capital official goes to the local area. I am always popular in school, but I am often away from Beijing and spend less time with my family.

Xue Wulang hesitated to speak, Yang Siniang seemed to know what he wanted to say, and winked at Su Ruojin towards her purse.

Su Ruojin understood, it turns out...

Xue Wulang's ears turned slightly red as he probably felt that the two young ladies were looking at each other, and he raised his head slightly, "Su... Su Erniang, do you sell your lollipops?"

Other than Yang Siniang, no other child in the entire Osmanthus Alley has such a beautiful lollipop. If Ah Jin gave it to him, wouldn't she be unique?

Yang Siniang was extremely nervous and thought to herself, don’t give it...don’t give it...

Su Ruojin shook his head slightly.

Yang Siniang was instantly proud, huh, who told your father not to let us play with the mud-colored dolls he brought back from other places last time, but also wanted our lollipops? What a dream!

Xue Wulang didn't expect that he would be rejected by the young lady as soon as he said the words. He even blushed, but for the sake of the sixth sister at home who couldn't stop crying, he still tried to say, "Can you just sell me one?"

“I won’t sell any of them.” Wow, Ah Jin’s rejection was so agreeable to her, that Yang Siniang was about to burst into laughter.

"I'll give you two." Su Ruojin asked with a smile, "Who do you and Liu Niang belong to?"

One moment, the seven-year-old boy was so frustrated that he almost ran away. The next breath, his eyes lit up and he almost burst out of stars. "Really?" I didn't expect that even he was also involved. It was such a surprise.

Yang Siniang was so unhappy that she almost cried, "Ah Jin..."

In order to appease the little brat, Su Ruojin had no choice but to comfort her, "I'll give you another one. It's up to you."

"Wow..." Yang Siniang was happy again, "Then can I help my elder brother pick one?"

For children, just like it. When you make it, you will bring it to the children around you, just to give it to them. Su Ruojin brought the two children into the house and let them pick out lollipops. This is how the friendship between children comes about. Too fast.

Kangpingfang lived in the Kangpingfang area, where high-ranking officials from the Yin Dynasty lived. On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, although it was the first day of the official's holiday, there was an endless stream of people going to Fan's Mansion to pay their respects. When Su Yanli arrived at the door of Fan's Mansion, it was already late in the afternoon. At about two o'clock, there were many people in front of him, so he had to stand aside and wait until it was about three o'clock. Two taels of silver were stuffed into the gatekeeper.

 The gate value is pushed back.

Shutong added two more taels.

 The door value was secretly startled, and subconsciously pushed it back.

 Shu Tong added two liang of seals.

 Hey, you already have six taels, right?

As a gatekeeper, those who can attract guests in front of the house during the New Year are all smart young men with connections. Generally, people who come to the house will give some money, but like Shutong, he can get six taels for a single move. It’s not that common!

This is almost the monthly salary of a ninth-grade official. The doorman stopped pushing back.

 Shu Tong beat the snake on the stick and said in a low voice with a smile: "The northwest wind is blowing fiercely in the winter. I will buy some wine for my little brother to eat and warm up."

To be honest, I saw them coming half an hour ago, and I was thinking about what to say to them when it was their turn. I didn't expect that Dr. Su, who was searching for money, was not here to borrow money, so... let him It should be fine if you go in and meet the adults!

For the sake of money, the doorman yelled out, "Okay, hurry in, don't talk too much, and come out as soon as you're done. Sir, you're very busy."

Shutong of course nodded and agreed to everything, and quickly called the master into Fan's house. He had not had the chance to come in this year, and finally came in again at the end of the year.

Mr. Fan was a little surprised when he saw Su Yanli: "It's been a long time since I've been here."

Su Yanli was secretly surprised. Didn't you know that he had been here more than two months ago?

still…

Master Fan saw that his clothes and energy were better than before, and he seemed to be doing well recently. He nodded and smiled, "Is it okay in the Imperial College?"

 “Return to the teacher, everything is fine.”

"That's good."

 As soon as the questions and answers were answered, the teacher-student relationship seemed to have been connected, and the study room suddenly became uncomfortably quiet.

Of course, Su Yanli was the one who felt uncomfortable. In order to get rid of this embarrassment, he had no choice but to find something to say: "Teacher, are you okay with eating now?"
