Ji Menghan's mother said: "Are we going to follow other people's methods? Isn't it a matter of your words!" Wang Wenwu smiled and said: "Mother-in-law! There is a process for buying and selling an official. You don't know the ups and downs.

How many people are pointing to this to get rich! Besides, if you don’t follow the rules, who knows how long it will take to get the position, but it’s different if you find a way. You can pay today and take office tomorrow. If you don’t pay, everyone will do it.

You are stuck. You can’t say anything wrong.” Ji Menghan interjected: “You also said you are not a greedy Beiyang official? You are really familiar with buying and selling officials! The country only allows you people to be officials.

How can the country be good?" Ji Menghan's mother pushed Ji Menghan and said: "Don't interrupt!" Then she said to Wang Wenwu: "Then how much will this cost?"

"This depends on my father-in-law. It depends on where he wants to live! It will definitely be more expensive for someone with power and a high position. But it is different in Qingshui Yamen, and the price is much cheaper." Ji Menghan's mother couldn't make up her mind and asked Wang

Wenwu asked: "Son-in-law, where do you think we should go?" Ji Menghan said dissatisfied: "Mom, you really bought an official for dad!" Ji Menghan's mother said: "Why not? Someone else bought it for our family.

Can't you just buy it?" Ji Menghan couldn't explain to his mother, and said to Wang Wenwu: "No, how can this official position be bought and sold so casually? Isn't this something that only happened when the country was subjugated?"

"Although the country is not subjugated now, it is still divided by warlords. After several presidents, Marshal Cao has occupied more space. Who will listen to the orders issued by bj that are outside Marshal Cao's territory! While Marshal Cao is on stage now, there is no telling.

Marshal Cao will step down at some point. If someone else comes to power, the back door will be blocked. There is no telling when the next time will be."

"With your appearance as Beiyang officials, how could you fail?"

"With Marshal Cao stepping down, there will be no loss of money." Wang Wenwu said to Ji Menghan's mother: "Mother-in-law, you have to make a decision quickly. The situation changes every year. You can do something this year, but you can't say next year.

” Ji Menghan’s mother was concerned about how much less money she could contribute now, and quickly asked: “Just how much less money can be given!”

"I can't guarantee if it's more, but there's still no problem with one or two less." Ji Menghan saw that his mother was a little moved, so he quickly stopped and said: "Mom, don't listen to him. If he can help others get promoted, then he himself

Why is he still just a chief?" Wang Wenwu retorted: "Do you think this official can be promoted casually? The chief is just right. If you go up further, they will be the confidants of each minister. Then you have to think about it too.

Even the minister is not willing!"

"Really? I think these ministers are replaced very frequently. So why are there so many of our own people? Isn't that just money?"

"What are you thinking? Can high-ranking officials like the minister be paid for? No matter how bad the government is, it is not this bad." Ji Menghan's mother could see that her daughter was just looking for trouble, so she said because of the estrangement between her daughter and her son-in-law.

: "Menghan, please stop saying a few words. You don't understand the government's affairs? Listen to civil and military affairs!"

"Wenwu, tell me, Menghan's father! Where should we go?" Wang Wenwu did not dare to give advice to his father-in-law.

So he said: "Mother-in-law, I really can't help you pay attention to this matter. Now you still have to make your own decision. Tell me where you want to go and leave the rest to me."

"Okay, okay, okay. Then it will be troublesome for Wenwu. I will go back and discuss it with her father now!"

"Okay, if you need anything, just tell me. You go slowly!" Wang Wenwu sent Ji Menghan's mother to the door and said to Ji Menghan: "Huaihua went out in a rickshaw. Go to the alley entrance and call a rickshaw for your mother.

Here comes the rickshaw." Ji Menghan's mother said: "It's okay, I'm not that delicate yet. Menghan, come with me for a walk outside!" Wang Wenwu said: "Then be careful on the road!" Ji Menghan and her mother

After walking far away.

Ji Menghan's mother said: "Do you usually treat Wenwu like this? Why can't you let me save my worries! Fortunately, Wenwu doesn't care. If a person has changed into a chicken intestine, I wonder how you can live a good life!" Ji Menghan didn't

He said with concern: "I don't have to marry him. Besides, can't we still divorce at that time?"

"Divorce? Are you still thinking of divorce? If you are really divorced, then you must never say she is my daughter in the future! Besides, a woman after divorce can only marry lowly or live alone. Say you want to choose

that!"

"Now is a new society. How can you still look at society through old eyes?",

"I'm still old-fashioned. You like to gossip and talk about right and wrong. I haven't divorced you. It's a good thing, but you still want to make peace with me!"

"Mom, why are you like this!"

"How am I doing? Hello, Wang Wenwu, have a good life. Then my little brother will be able to get a good job through connections!" Hearing this, Ji Menghan did not refute, but said that he understood.

Ji Menghan's mother saw that her daughter had listened, and continued: "Menghan, just listen to it. Although you are a concubine, you are not a bad civil and military person. You and he live a good life, you know?" Ji Menghan whispered.

Said: "I know!"

"I heard that the eldest wife of Wenwu was studying abroad. Is it true?" Ji Menghan nodded and said, "It's true, she was in France. She went there the year before last!"

"Don't you want to go out and have a look?"

"Mom, what do you mean?"

"My silly daughter! If the eldest lady can go abroad, can't you go? You have taken good care of the civil and military affairs, so why don't you go abroad too." Ji Menghan shook his head and said: "It costs a lot to go to France, eldest lady.

I was able to go there only with the support of Chinese-French education. In addition, there were more and more people in the family, and the cost was also a lot higher. I never thought that France would allow me to continue studying, and I was very happy.

Satisfied."

"There are a lot of people. There were quite a few in the yard just now. How many people are in the family now?" Ji Menghan sighed and said, "Now there are six adults, seventeen children, five servants, and two wet nurses.

, a concierge, and a sister-in-law, there are a total of thirty-two people, big and small, and no one is pregnant yet. I don’t know how many people there will be in the family from now on." Ji Menghan's mother said in surprise: "Ah! So!

With so many people, can the courtyard with two entrances accommodate them? I see that there are quite a lot of kids in the courtyard. When we get married, the courtyard with two entrances will not be enough! Don’t we have any plans for civil and military affairs?" Ji Menghan gave her mother a reassuring look.
