Chapter 14
After Yi Shuyuan felt a little satisfied, he put down his pen and found that neither of them was reacting, especially the chief clerk staring at the words as if he was out of a god.
"Sir, can you pass the word below?"
Yi Shuyuan asked this sentence clearly, but he still had some appreciation. If this word is not up to standard, then the county government would not have to recruit people.
"Master Secretary?"
"Ah? Oh, this word is very wonderful, very wonderful. Haven't you asked the sir to respect your surname and name?"
When the chief clerk was speaking, he actually walked out from behind the table and came to Yi Shuyuan to ask. Yi Shuyuan felt a little nervous and dared not negligently replied.
"I am in Xiayi Shuyuan, my ancestral home is Yuanjiang County, and I have only returned recently."
It was indeed foreign, but I had never heard of the name Yi Shuyuan. But whether he had heard it or not, the chief clerk only knew that this person's calligraphy skills should not be underestimated. He asked with some concerns about gains and losses.
"Mr. Yi is here to find me to be happy, right? Do you really want to be that civil servant?"
Now Yi Shuyuan wondered, was this job the same as a contract for selling his body? He couldn't get in and out? So he asked carefully
"Sir, this civil servant is only allowed to enter but not leave?"
"How is this possible? I'm just afraid that the gentleman will be underestimated as an official in the future..."
Yi Shuyuan was relieved. He was still afraid of being looked down upon? He was almost pretending to be a monkey and looked like a diorama during this period, so he showed a relaxed smile. Being an official was too far away from him, and the ancient test papers were terrible.
.
"The chief clerk has been worried too much. Yi has been used to being lazy and free in his life and has no intention of becoming an official at all."
When the chief clerk saw that he said this, he didn't want to ask any more. He naturally hoped that Yi Shuyuan would stay. He nodded and prepared to start a document.
This paper contract is equivalent to a contract, and the above terms are not harsh for Yi Shuyuan. Yi Shuyuan said that he lived in Xihe Village and was inconvenient to go back and forth to the county government. The chief clerk immediately added a county government to provide accommodation.
The terms and even the bedding are written on, which is extremely comprehensive and sincere.
After reading all the terms, Yi Shuyuan wrote down Xihe Village in his current residence and signed a daimyo.
"Then please let me give in! Two days later, I need to send someone to Xihe Village to pick up the teacher and help him bring some luggage items?"
"No need to worry, come here lightly, there is nothing to bring."
"Then, Wu Minggao is here to wait!"
The chief clerk relaxed a little and directly signed up for the taboo. Yi Shuyuan also felt relieved.
Then Yi Shuyuan and the chief clerk saluted each other and walked out along the same path under the leadership of the officer. Two days later, he needed to report here, which was officially started.
Yi Shuyuan was also very generous. He didn't expect that he could find a suitable job today and even help him get rid of the relatively disturbing environment. As for what he said when he went back, he would be carried out of the county government.
In the office, the chief clerk said goodbye to Yi Shuyuan with a smile. After standing at the door, he couldn't see the other person's back, his figure jumped violently, and he arrived in front of the case. He carefully picked up the rice paper, carefully admired the calligraphy, and
Afraid that the ink traces that had not dried were flowing down, he quickly put them back on the table and looked closer.
Many calligraphy requires careful clues to see the attainments. The word in front of you has a faint charm when you first see it. This is the most difficult part. It is hard to say whether it can match the ancients. But time is absolutely unimaginable.
"Good handwriting, good poetry, I have such achievements at a young age! In the future, I will definitely become a famous master of my generation!"
The chief clerk murmured to himself, carefully waiting for the ink on the rice paper to dry out. Of course, this piece must be framed and kept privately, otherwise his salary as the chief clerk would not be able to afford any original works of famous artists.
"Oh, Mr. Yi didn't let him sign up! But the future is long, and there is still a chance..."
The chief clerk was still secretly happy. Outside the county government office, Yi Shuyuan bowed and said goodbye to the two officials. A man who was so anxious that he was sweating profusely finally found Yi Shuyuan. He didn't care about the county government office, so he rushed to do so.
Come over.
"Uncle, where are you going, uncle? I'm so anxious!"
Yi Shuyuan quickly walked over and glared at Yi Yongan. The latter's voice immediately became weaker. While quickly following Yi Shuyuan's steps, he was diligently handing a greasy paper packaging from his hand, which was a few steaming hot inside.
steamed stuffed bun.
"Uncle, please try the buns and meat stuffings in Tongxinlou!"
Yi Shuyuan was not polite either. He reached out and grabbed one and took a bite. With the blessing of his hunger, he felt that the bun was very delicious and ate one in a few bites.
"Next time uncle will take you to eat the hard dishes from Tongxinlou!"
After drawing the cake, Yi Shuyuan reached out and took another bun and ate it. He didn't buy more buns, but there were three in total. The remaining lunch was the steamed buns he brought with him. Seeing this, Yi Yongan quickly grabbed the last one.
"Not delicious, by the way, uncle, why are you in the county government?"
"I found an errand and could make some money. I have good hands and feet. I can't let your family keep it, right?"
The two of them were walking while talking, and they were about to rush back. Yi Shuyuan looked back and the two officials seemed to be looking in his direction from afar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the evening, Yijia’s kitchen was next to the counter, and there were faint flames in the stove. The dining table was placed in this relatively warm room. When the oil was dispersed, the flames would be pounding from time to time to serve as indoor lighting.
"What? Brother, if you want to be a civil servant in the county government office, how far away is it from home!"
Yi Baokang was still shocked. His wife stepped on his toes under the table and said to Yi Shuyuan with a smile.
"It's a good thing for uncle to find an errand to do. By the way, uncle, how much wages will the county government give you?"
When the elders were talking, Yi Yongan and his wife and their children were eating silently, but they were paying attention to it. Yi Yongan had asked his uncle before, but he just smiled and said nothing more on the way.
After hearing Zhao's words, Yi Shuyuan considered it and did not say it completely truthfully. He gave 50% of the number. After all, the chief clerk said that the treatment he gave was definitely the highest.
"According to the daily book, no less than two thousand words, you can get one dou of five rice and count copper coins at the market price."
Of course, writing county annals is not just about copying. You have to check the old and make up for the new, summarize and organize, record them into books, etc., but Yi Shuyuan said it in a way that people on the table can understand.
"A dou five liters of rice!" "A dou five..."
Yi Baokang's wife Zhao exclaimed, "This is big white rice, not something like millet. If you want to convert the rice price now, you can cost seventy or eighty cents, which is no longer a small amount for rural farmers."
Farmers have food but don’t have much money. Even if someone collects food, they won’t try to keep the price down in the countryside.
Yi Yongan and his wife couldn't help but whisper.
"So much!" "How much is this?"
"It's almost a hundred cents!" "It's that much a day?"
You should know that Yi Yongan thought that he had been in the city for less than a few times a year and bought a few buns from Tongxinlou that he had only spent nine cents or three cents to eat a bowl of vegetarian spring noodles.
Only the child's butt swayed in position like a wheel, and I wonder what the adults were saying.
Zhao's face turned a smile and kicked Yi Baokang twice. Seeing that he didn't say anything, he spoke by himself, and his face immediately turned from happy to sigh.
"Oh, it's still my uncle who is capable. It's difficult for us to support our parents in the past few years. My mother was sick all year round and always called on her uncle. It would be great if she would come back early!"
This uncle Zhao has never been so kind and sincere.
Everyone could hear Zhao's voice-over voice. Yi Baokang's old face turned red and he was about to speak when he opened his mouth, but was suppressed by Yi Shuyuan's speech first.
"Don't worry, brother and sister. As brother and elder brother, I will definitely make up for the vacancy over the years and have a meal."
As he said that, Yi Shuyuan patted Yi Baokang on the shoulder, picked up chopsticks and picked up food for dinner, but ordered pickles and radish and ate them with relish. It was more enjoyable than any day before. Zhao's measurement in his heart, he
Don't you know it?
"Don't look at it, eat!" "Oh!"
"Uncle, you can eat this egg..."
Zhao pretended to hand over the only boiled egg, but what surprised her was that Yi Shuyuan took it without any refusal. He slapped it on the corner of the table twice and then started to pluck it up.
After pulling the eggs, Yi Shuyuan glanced at Zhao, shook his head with a smile, and then put them in the children's bowl on the table.
He put the last bite of rice into his mouth. In the slightly awkward expression of Zhao's expression, Yi Shuyuan stood up and left the dining table.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That night, Yi Shuyuan was very at ease when he fell asleep, because the livelihood problem was temporarily solved, and the troubles in this world were reduced by half.
But after waking up in the middle of the night, Yi Shuyuan still had some insomnia. His near-faith worries were relieved, and his homesickness hit him. His future was still very confused. How should I live my life? I also felt like when I first found a job in my previous life.
That kind of faint uneasiness.
Yi Shuyuan's thoughts continued to extend. The world was too big. I didn't know where the boundaries were. The world was too strange. I didn't know what was outside.
That strange snake is considered a monster? If it is really a monster, what about ghosts, gods, immortals and Buddhas?
Yi Shuyuan felt very conflicted. On the one hand, he hoped that there was, after all, few people could not yearn for these things at all, but on the other hand, he hoped that there would be no, because having it means unknown and danger.
