The Life Through Books of the Salted Fish Family

Yan's second son took the pegs and weighed them one by one.

"Teacher, here is eighty taels."

Mr. Tian's heart was heavy, he hummed, his pen was not smooth, so he simply put down the pen.

He sighed deeply.

Yan Lao Er was naturally incomparable: "Teacher, I will take this money into the account."

The money borrowed from Fucheng before was handled in this way, and he planned to follow along and hand it over to Hufang later.

"Wait a minute!" Elder Tian hesitated, "God Bless, do you think this money should be accepted as a teacher?"

"You didn't even come to borrow it. That Cheng Tong judge asked his youngest son to send it all the way. How sincere, why can't he accept it? Teacher, look at these. There are many broken silver and few silver ingots. This must be a I saved it up little by little, alas! No wonder we are best friends with you, both of you are as clean as water, and have a breeze in our sleeves!

It's time for us to spend money. When my elder brother left, he took away more than half of the house's money. Someone from Xizhou came again. They said they were polite, but they just wanted food and grass. Not even silver.

It's no wonder that people are not accommodating. On this day of the year, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the food is going to increase...

Master Cheng, this is timely rain! Hello, thank you very much.

Teacher, don't be embarrassed, we have debts and repay them. When we get through this winter and have enough money, I will go to Fucheng for you and pay back the money and cancel the IOUs from each adult's house. "

Yan Lao Er has always had this matter in his heart. The old man has a backbone, but he is bent over by the pressure of reality. He is holding back his strength and is determined to fill the hole.

"Brother Cheng didn't ask to borrow it, so he just asked Le Zhou to bring it over." Mr. Tian was in a state of emotional ups and downs. He was dissatisfied with the half-written letter in front of him, and slowly folded the paper and put it in a basket beside him.

Here are all his waste papers, Tianyou stared at the basket all day long, took it away when it was half full, and said he would take it home to make paper.

There is one such basket in every poor room in the government office.

The people around rely on their teachers to do their best, but when they come to Tianyou, the biggest advantage they get is that no one will compete with him for these waste papers...

From time to time, I have to bring some food from home to improve his food, or make good friends with the government offices.

He is now taken care of by Tianyou in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation. Speaking of apprenticeship, he, the teacher, is the one who takes advantage of it.

Yan Laoer let out a cry, and suddenly realized: "So what you are entangled with is this! Mr. Cheng is high-minded, he didn't borrow it, he wanted to give it to you, right? That won't work. The public and private affairs we do should not be mixed up. How can Mr. Cheng get along with you?" You have the same problem, this money must be borrowed, we can’t accept it if you don’t borrow it.”

He thought that the government office was short of money, and sending it back would break Mr. Cheng's affection, and suggested: "Why don't the teacher write an IOU to Mr. Cheng, and we will accept the money. What do you think?"

Mr. Tian hesitated and said: "You don't know his temperament. Brother Cheng... lives extremely frugally. He thinks it shouldn't be spent, even a copper coin. The year before last, his family planned to buy a house in Fucheng. It should be spent. He Will still think twice.

It's not easy to send the eighty taels from the bottom of his family's pocket. He thinks that the money is for the people's use, so it's not a disappointment. Wouldn't it be disrespectful to pay him back an IOU for his teacher? "

Yan Laoer listened carefully, slowly cleared his mind, and said: "Teacher, you just need to speak clearly, don't write so few words, write more, your ready-made example, salary silver is salary silver, how can you As flowery as you used to be?

In private, you can subsidize whoever you want to subsidize, but you can’t post it directly on the government office. I don’t know how the account was entered in the previous household. My brother said that he didn’t see the extra money when he checked the previous account books. The account is even, but your money is gone? Where did the flowers go? I don't know who spent it...

This is muddled accounts, we can't do this anymore.

Your basic necessities, food, housing, and transportation are taken care of by the imperial court, and you don’t need to spend them. Your monthly salary should be all you need. After a year, it is forty-five taels, and there are pens and inks that are also distributed. If you sell the rest that cannot be used up, you will have some money after a year.

Also, you should be equipped with four firewood soap slaves, one groom, and the court also gave this money, but you didn't find it. When you use it, let the government servants top it. , the groom is forty taels a year, and these five people come down with one hundred and twenty taels a year..."

Yan Laoer became more and more excited as he spoke, looking at Mr. Tian, ​​he said speechlessly: "Do you think you are still helping the imperial court to save money in Guanzhou?

Use the people below more, if you feel uncomfortable, post your own salary on it...

I... Forget it, I've talked to you about this one more time, you have to make up for these people, and we can't leave behind the ostentation that the old man has. "

Mr. Tian was speechless.

He didn't deliberately save money, but just followed his old friends. Although these people are spent by the court, there are inevitably some rewards on weekdays, which is also an expense. , Doing something under his banner is easy to cause trouble.

Generally, relatives who know the basics bring them to the post. Because of his adoptive heir, he had a bad relationship with the clan, so he didn't look for anyone in the countryside.

After arriving in Guanzhou, his wife bought a few servants with him, and the city was destroyed, leaving only one...

It was his students who supported the things around him and took good care of them.

ashamed!

Elder Tian immediately said: "What Tianyou said is very true, let me explain it carefully to Brother Cheng."

He laid out another piece of paper and held the pen upright.

He said kindly: "Didn't Tianyou say that Xiaoer will come today, and you want to take Xiang Heng and her out? Look at the time, Xiang Heng should be out of class, you go, by the way, you pass by the school, take Le Zhou Call me, I haven't seen his father for a long time as a teacher, just have lunch together, and ask about the current situation."

In terms of study, Mr. Tian has the right to say.

But in life, it is Yan Lao Er who presides over the overall situation.

Including the teacher, eldest brother, eldest nephew, and occasionally Manshan brothers and Fengnian nephew, all of them are the objects of his concern.

"Teacher, you can eat by yourself. He came from a long distance, and I will help you as a landlord. Don't you know that he came here on the sledge of my second child..." Yan Laoer took the carriage rented by Cheng Lezhou The bad thing was said halfway, and the episode of the thirty-wen bargaining was not because he didn't say anything, but because he didn't know.

Yan Yu and her father haven't seen each other for a while, and there are too many things she wants to say. In her opinion, the matter of this Mr. Cheng is not as important as her own affairs, so she just said casually: that Mr. Cheng's car broke down on the way, She was brought into the city with her.

"Okay, how close you are, Le Zhou will also end in February next year. He has studied hard for many years, has a solid foundation, a gentle and simple personality, but there are some unusual things..."

Quack~ There is no point on the card, and there are still some points that have not been written~

It will be almost half an hour~

Typos should be corrected first and then corrected~o(*￣︶￣*)o~
