The big and small things in the family are arranged and handled by Lin Qianqian. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Of the seven subordinates from his hometown, one of them dedicated to serving Lin Yanshou and studying. As for the tea room, there should also be a special person, and there are a lot of officials and guests in Lin Yanchao's house on weekdays, and there are more people in the courtyard, so it needs to be taken care of by special people.

The original Xiao Gui was not very good at doing things, so he was beaten to clean the courtyard and chose another person to specialize in the tea room.

And Yu Bo is old, so he sends another person to entertain guests at the door with him, and then picks one hand and foot to help in the kitchen.

The two women of the Tan family followed Lin Qianqian's side, and the other two were sent to work as grooms, so Zhanming and Chen Jichuan didn't have to do this chore.

Zhanming traveled with Lin Yanchao, serving as both a bodyguard and an entourage, while Chen Jichuan became the steward of the Lin Mansion.

The so-called steward is equivalent to the role of the chief housekeeper of the Lin Mansion, Shen Shi Xingjia Shen Wu, etc. Chen Jichuan is familiar with human accidents and is capable, but he is just reckless, and his cultural level is lower, but fortunately, he has followed Lin Yanchao for a long time, and he can barely read a few words, but it is enough to be a housekeeper.

With the steward, he can take care of Lin Yanchao. The faint Lin Yanchao also has a bit of the appearance of an official eunuch in this mansion.

At present, Lin Yanchao's family lacks the role of a guest.

This scene can not only tutor the children of the owner, serve as a private teacher, but also become the owner's henchman if he can be trusted by the owner.

What's more important is that at the current New Year's Festival, countless posts with the right remuneration have to be written, if Lin Yanchao writes it himself, he basically doesn't want to do anything this New Year. Therefore, it is especially important to find a curtain customer to grab the knife. This guest can't be found casually, because the post was sent out in the name of Lin Yanchao, so this guest must be able to write a good handwriting, otherwise he will lose face crookedly.

So Lin Yanchao decided to post a notice in the name of inviting a curtain guest. If there are no good candidates in the capital, Lin Yanchao is going to write to Master Shen and ask him to find a Shaoxing Master for himself.

On the day that Lin Yanchao posted a notice to recruit guests. Hearing that the champion of Sanyuan and the first was going to invite guests, countless poor scholars in the capital were suddenly a sensation and rushed to apply.

However, when I arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion and saw the three requirements on Lin Yanchao's notice, I could only retreat, and I didn't even have the idea of applying for a job.

Lin Yanchao's three requirements for the curtain guests, the first one alone is difficult for many people, the first one must be a student or above, if you are a student, it is better.

Secondly, there can be civil and military in the chest. This is even more puzzling, at this time, the owner of the requirements for the guests to take care of money, or to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or to be good at sitting in the museum, but there is no requirement to have a civil and military in the chest.

It's really weird.

Third, a year's honorarium of twelve taels, two cents of silver a day, and food and accommodation.

That's really the same thing...... It's too picky, ordinary servants in Beijing can earn 12 taels a year, and it is not a problem for stall vendors to earn more than 20 taels a year.

The dignified guest, who is still a scholar from Xiucai, actually only gave twelve taels, isn't this treating us as slave peddlers? is so contemptuous of our readers, if it weren't for Lin Yanchao's face as the champion of the three yuan and the first, countless readers would have slammed on the door and scolded.

So the readers came with joy and returned with disappointment.

There will be nothing at the end of the next year, and the eight years of Wanli will pass like this. In the ninth year of Wanli, at the beginning of the new year, Vientiane was renewed.

On the street outside Chongwen Gate, the empty carriage is rushing back and forth, this carriage is the domestic servants of the dignitaries, they have no time to go out to pay New Year's greetings, they are all sending domestic servants to other people's doors one by one to deliver flying stickers.

The carriage sped by, clattering the ice slag on the road. There was a small inn next to the street, which was a little old, and the sign with the name of the store on it was dirty.

Next to the banner with the name of the shop written on it, a scholar sat in a stall, with a crooked table in front of him, on which were placed the four treasures of the study.

At first glance, you can see that it is the business of writing letters for others, and even asking for fortune tellers or something.

And this scholar wears a felt hat and an old straight jacket, and his seat and sleeves are worn out, so he can tell at a glance that he is not doing well. It was the New Year's Festival, so the scholar's business was obviously bleak, but he refused to close the stall, picked up the literature on the table, and read it carefully.

This poor scholar is obviously not willing to live like this, and has a splendid ambition in his chest.

The north wind was howling, the sky was cold, and the poor scholar blew the wind again, and couldn't help but stand up, rub his hands and feet, warm his body, and sit down again to pick up the book and read.

At this time, as soon as the door of the inn opened behind him, the innkeeper walked out and said, "Sun Xiucai, why hasn't it opened today!" ”

The poor scholar turned around, but saw that his sword eyebrows were in his sideburns, his beard was as hard as a halberd, and his eyebrows were full of heroism.

The scholar said, "Not yet." Does the shopkeeper want me to write you a letter home? Or write you a peach charm, or write a congratulatory note or something? ”

The shopkeeper hesitated when he heard this: "What is this......"

The poor scholar brushed the table with his hand and said, "Shopkeeper, this is not worth the house money, anyway, there is no business left and right, how about I open the pen and ink?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Okay, you can write a couplet for me, and I'll take it back and hang it at home." ”

"Okay!" The scholar simply picked up the paper and wrote a couplet for the shopkeeper.

After writing it, the shopkeeper couldn't wait to read it, and said with a smile: "Good words, really a good word, let you write me a couplet in such a dignified show, it's really a condescension." ”

The shopkeeper smiled like a flower on his face, not only won the couplet for nothing, but also used a few pieces of Dan paper for free. And this Sun Xiucai didn't care about him at all.

The scholar put away the four treasures of the study, and said: "The word is the clothes of the literati, just like the shopkeeper who counts the accounts and looks at the store, it is our food capital, and it is meaningless to bend and not to bend." ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but nod his head after hearing this: "Okay, good, good, Sun Xiucai allows me to tell the truth, the shopkeeper I have seen many people with these eyes, and when you look at Sun Xiucai, you will know that it is not a thing in the pool, you are now encountering a small difficulty at first glance, but sooner or later in the future there will be a day of ambition." ”

"It's the shopkeeper's good words, but it's hard to be a hero for a meal! Shopkeeper, I don't mean you to sympathize with me, I won't miss you for the arrears. It's just that when the weather is good, I'll write letters for people, and then find an errand to sit in the library and pay you back. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled when he heard this: "Where is it, how can I be such a snobbish person, but I am also a small business, and the family also has to eat and drink Lasa, if you don't worry about eating and drinking, Sun Xiucai is such a distinguished guest, we can't invite it if we want to." ”

Sun Xiucai sat down again after hearing this, thought for a while, and said: "I don't have a penny now, and the valuable things on my body have long been gone, so you can simply take me to the official mansion." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly waved his hand and said: "This can't be helped, you can't help it, you Xiucai and the government are a family, you can see the county master with a post, where did I go to a small common person to say." ”

Sun Xiucai listened and asked, "What do you have to show the shopkeeper?" ”

The shopkeeper scratched his head and said, "Am I not in a hurry to use the money?" But I can't drive you away, you're a husband, so there is a job right now, which can not only solve your livelihood, but also not insult Sven, otherwise it won't be like a dignified minister serving tea and water. ”

Sun Xiucai arched his hand and said: "The shopkeeper Rao is bothered, dare to ask what kind of work it is?" ”

The shopkeeper took a few steps closer, lowered his voice and asked, "Do you know Lin Hanlin today?" ”

"Lin Hanlin?"

Sun Xiucai didn't have a full overview of the rank at hand, not to mention that there were many people surnamed Lin in the Hanlin Academy, how could he know?

"Ask the shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "It is said that Xiucai can know the world without going out, you are not as good as me, a businessman, I told you, it is Lin Sanyuan today!" ”

If the shopkeeper had said Lin Sanyuan earlier, Sun Xiucai would have known it a long time ago.

However, Sun Xiucai was not interested in the shopkeeper's trickery, but asked: "Why do you also invite someone from the Champion Mansion?" ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Yes, he invited a scene of guests in his house, and the people all over the city were sensational, and people rushed to go, so he opened three rules, what do you know?" ”

So the shopkeeper told Sun Xiucai about the first two, and Sun Xiucai nodded slowly and said: "I was seventeen years old when I took the first exam, a student of the county school, the first one is not a problem, as for the second one, my ancestor is a native of Tangyin, Henan, and moved to Gaoyang during the Hongwu period. Gaoyang is close to the border pass, and I have heard about the war for a long time, and if you say that Tao Strategy also knows a little bit about it. ”

The shopkeeper laughed and said: "Sun Xiucai, you say it's a coincidence, this is just a general thing for you, don't hurry up and go to the Lin Mansion, you will miss a good thing if you are late." ”

"Slow shopkeeper, what about the third one? Is there only twelve taels in Tateya? It's a little less, but it can also solve the urgent need. Sun Xiucai said.

The shopkeeper is overjoyed, even a meager pavilion like twelve taels can be seen, this person is really too real. Before, so many scholars were stuck at this hurdle and refused to engage in this low-paying business.

After speaking, Sun Xiucai cleaned up the table and said, "The shopkeeper told me where the champion family lived, and I will come to visit." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly told Sun Xiucai that he wished that Sun Xiucai had found an errand and had the money to return to him.

Sun Xiucai was not in a hurry to write a prayer post, then closed the stall, went back to the room and put on his most decent clothes, and then left the inn.

Halfway through, Sun Xiucai thought again, when it comes to the New Year's Festival, I am afraid that it will be rude to come to the door empty-handed. So Sun Xiucai took out the last bit of money on his body to buy a few vegetables and fruits, wrapped them in oiled paper, and then came to the door.

When he arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, Sun Xiucai learned from the porter that Lin Yanchao was going out to pay a visit today, and asked him to come back another day.

But Sun Xiucai was willing to go back again, so he posted it and waited outside the door.

It was freezing and it was snowing heavily, Sun Xiucai stopped and looked at the gate of the Lin Mansion, and suddenly had a thought that he didn't understand.

Maybe today, it will be the day when my Sun Chengzong will meet a nobleman! (To be continued.) )
