The quadruplets didn't really like the old men of the Lin family. They felt that they were not as kind as Grandpa Nie and Grandpa Chang. They didn't buy cakes for them. They always begged their grandma to do things, so they were bored for a long time and waited for the two of them to leave.
Then he became active again.
Sanbao Lin Ruichong pouted, pulled Chu Nanzhi with some dissatisfaction and complained: "Auntie, why did you agree to Grandpa Zu to help him investigate the matter? We don't want you to help him."
Erbao Lin Ruixi put her hands on her waist and said angrily: "Grandpa Nie would always bring us red bean cakes when he lived in the village. Grandpa the patriarch would not buy red bean cakes for us when he lived in the county."
How could Chu Nanzhi not see the thoughts of these snack foodies? Come to think of it, I haven't been to the city for a few days. I have to find time to exchange the money sent by the Shen family into banknotes. I can go to the shop and help.
Lin Jinxiao brought back some more medicinal materials.
She smiled and comforted the little ones: "My mother's promise to the elder of the Lin family to do things for him is naturally for the sake of our family's future plans. If you want to eat red bean cake, my mother will go to the city to buy it for you tomorrow."
Little Si Baolin Ruijia is not very interested in eating red bean cakes. What she is looking forward to most now is raising fish. She pulled Chu Nanzhi and asked impatiently: "Auntie, when will we raise fish?"
"Soon."
This is what the Chu family is planning to do right now. She held the four treasures in her arms and discussed with the family: "Father, mother, I'm afraid a lot of people will be needed to clean such a big pond. I'll take some money and do the work.
You can ask more clan members and village neighbors to come over and help me, so that the pond can be cleaned out as soon as possible."
"Okay, after dinner, I will ask your father to talk to the people in the clan. Don't worry about the money."
Liu Yun said, looking at Lin Jinxiao meaningfully: "The money in your hand will be reserved for opening the restaurant. Instruct Shu Yang and your father to do the things on the pond. If you need money, use the hundred dollars sent by Her Royal Highness."
Two lines of silver."
After the funeral, she originally wanted to give Princess Jinshu's money to her son-in-law, but her son-in-law asked her to keep it at home, so now she has no choice but to take care of the fish pond first.
Just a while ago, my daughter spent more than two hundred taels of silver. Now I can no longer leave this money to my family. After all, it is all a favor from my son-in-law.
Chu Nanzhi didn't refute any more, and working separately could improve work efficiency.
Thinking that today is the Ghost Festival, the spiritual tablet upstairs had been hidden for a long time and had not been disposed of yet. While Liu Yun led the Chu 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 trace of the spiritual tablet inside. She was panicking when she saw Lin Jinxiao slowly walking in with the quadruplets.
Sanbao Lin Ruichong came over to catch her mischievously and said with a mysterious smile: "Aniang, that thing you made is so fun. I want to learn it too. I can use it to scare bad guys in the future. Aniang, can you teach me?"
Chu Nanzhi glanced at the little guy angrily, squatted down, and softly "shushed" at the little treasures: "That one can only be used by dead people, but you can't play with it. You must use it in the future."
No one can talk about this matter in their stomachs, otherwise I will not like you in the future."
Little Si Baolin Ruijia's little eyes flashed, and she nodded first, whispering in her ear: "Auntie, just now my uncle took brother Mu Ci out, and you are not at home. Dad will help you take it down and burn it."
.”
The other three little guys had no intention of telling this matter. After listening to her words, they were afraid that she would really be angry because of this matter. They all glared at Sanbao angrily, and each of them vowed: "Aniang."
, we will definitely not say anything.”
Sanbao also realized that he should not make such a request. He twirled his little finger, grimaced, and said with a frown: "Aniang, I won't tell you. I don't want Aniang to teach you this. Then Aniang will go to the city tomorrow."
Can you buy us other toys?"
We didn’t bring any toys from home, and their biggest pleasure now is playing tops.
"Okay, I promise you."
Chu Nanzhi stood up with a smile and glanced at Lin Jinxiao casually.
Lin Jinxiao consciously went to the bedside to pick up the crutch and put it in his hand to show that he was obedient.
Then, he pulled Chu Nanzhi to the bedside and sat down, and said warmly: "When I return to the county government and take up a job, I will have a salary that will be enough to support a family. If you find it hard, you don't have to go out and run around all day.
"
The treatment of officials at all levels in the Dahe Empire is actually quite good. In addition to the silver salary and corresponding grains every month, at the end of the year, they will also distribute some additional silver rewards and meat, and cloth supplies. If you don't have to deal with those wealthy merchants
By comparison, my life is relatively prosperous.
Chu Nanzhi roughly calculated his salary after taking office. According to the treatment of a fifth-grade Beijing official, the monthly salary is twenty-five taels of silver and twenty stones of grain, plus the year-end bonus, which makes the income of more than five hundred taels of silver a year.
, even if you are not as good at fishing for money and water as Hu Maoxi, you can actually live a very nourishing life in your childhood.
If he has made great achievements, there will be no reward from the court, not to mention.
But she didn't understand the meaning of this guy's words. Could it be that he was testing herself and didn't want to divorce?
This is not possible.
Although she admitted that this guy did have an irresistible temptation, she didn't want to hang herself from a crooked tree in a daze.
If given the chance, she would also like to go to Jingling City to see the outside world.
After straightening her posture, she deliberately exaggerated and said: "The little money you have from your salary is not enough for me to spend. You have seen it. I bought mutton cakes and high-end fruits from the county teahouse without even blinking.
All it takes is a dozen taels of silver."
I wanted to scare him with these alarmist remarks, but before Lin Jinxiao opened his mouth, several little guys became unhappy and gathered around them, begging in unison: "Mom, we won't eat mutton cakes in the future, no."
Now that we’re eating bananas and apples, we’ll just eat rice, and we don’t want grandma to buy new clothes. Grandma, can you listen to daddy?”
"Your mother has her own ideas. You can't ask your mother like this."
Lin Jinxiao said calmly, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
I did ask her with a tentative attitude when I spoke just now, but I never thought that her words would stop me from thinking about it. I really didn't expect that she would despise and dislike the wife of a fifth-rank official family so much.
Undoubtedly, in terms of means of making money, even if you sit in the same position as Chang Lao, if there is no reward from the court, the salary alone will not be enough to compare with those merchants. However, being an official and doing business are two different things after all. The court has always
Generally speaking, his policies still suppress wealthy businessmen.
For her sake, he was gradually compromising, but thinking that every time she handled a case for a wealthy family, she earned hundreds of taels of silver, and spent the money in an unambiguous way, which made her feel inferior.
Do we really want to imitate Hu Maoxi, who spent all day among the rich and powerful, nodding and bending to make money?
