7. Seeking a role for her husband
The two of them talked while walking, and soon they circled the back garden of the military mansion. Gao Yue immediately said to Han Yu that at noon, I will not go back to the official house of the Louyuan, and that I can eat with my colleagues here. If you leave, don’t leave. I will accompany me, “Your wife will be served by A Ni, no, I will be a humble person. When you go back to Jiangdu County Party tomorrow, you will prepare for the matter of painting and painting. After all, it cannot be entirely up to our military mansion patrol.”
Han Yu hurriedly received it.
Then Gao Yue asked him, your sister-in-law and the others have come to Jiangdu?
When talking about Han Yu's widowed sister-in-law, this person immediately responded with respect to Gao Yue, "Here you come, first from Xuanzhou to Jingkou, and then through Guazhou Du.
"Okay, I will serve your sister-in-law with all my heart."
At this time, in the main bedroom of the Jiedushi's official residence, Xue Tao sat on the bed with red eyes, holding a brocade handkerchief in his hand, constantly wiping tears.
Zhihui rode a donkey and went out to see the profit-making business in Yangzhou City.
There was Cui Yunshao, Cui Yun and his sister at home. Seeing Xue Tao crying constantly, Yunshao felt heartbroken, so he started chatting with her. Yunhe listened quietly.
Originally, Xue Tao came to the city with her husband, but when she saw Yun Shao, she couldn't help it:
This married life was beyond her expectations.
"You don't know how many people there are in the Han family... Wei Guogong has settled Caizhou in the east and west of Huainan, and Xuanzhou has also been at peace. When he retreated, he was favored by the Duke of Wei Guogong. He was able to be the county magistrate of Jiangdu County, and his monthly salary was 25,000 yuan, which is also good... But since the previous month, his family's population in Xuanzhou has come to retreat in groups... Three widowed sisters-in-law, two of them are still in the hall, and brothers, nieces, big and small, a total of thirty-six... How can this salary be enough? At the end of the month, I looked at the jar without salt, the jar without rice, the box without money, the basket without cloth, and the winter was about to begin. When he retreated, he had to rely on me to arrange the book... Now he retired and communicated with famous scholars in Huainan. When he encountered a lack of money, he still liked to provide relief, which was really unbearable."
Yun Shao gently held Xue Tao on his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad. When Qingqing started his career as an official, his salary was only 6 cents... At that time, the prices in Chang'an City were still expensive, and a batch of silk cloth would be sold for three or five cents!"
"Sister, how did you survive?" Xue Tao asked.
Yun Shao tried hard to recall and said that at that time, my father gave me fifty taels of makeup every month, and Zhihui took care of it carefully, so he barely survived it.
As a result, Xue Tao cried even more sadly after hearing this.
Yunhe, who was beside him, sighed in his heart - although Xue Tao had lost his father before and was alone, the good thing was that there was a job in Xingyuan Mansion, who could get a lot of salary every month, and his life was more than enough. During the festival, my sister would give generously. Now that she married Han Yu, it was equivalent to marrying the old Han family. Faced with so many trivial matters in life, how could she adapt to it in the short term? It was reasonable to be pessimistic and disappointed.
Yunhe has always spoken quickly, "Don't Han have a farm in Xuancheng?"
"What's the use of farmland?... His family is full of women and children. How can they manage well? Now I heard that Chuanzhi became the county magistrate, so I simply threw away all the farmlands. I just wanted to come to Jiangdu County to retreat."
At this time, Yunhe frowned and said to Xue Tao seriously: "Han Silang's residence has never mentioned corruption?"
Xue Tao quickly defended himself, his husband was not good, but he would never do this.
"That's good. Let my brother-in-law find another position of promotion to Han Shilang in the Congregation (shogunate, military mansion), and you can add thirty stags of salary per month." Yunhe was very decisive.
Xue Tao actually cried, and wanted to take the Cui sister route to let Gao Yue know, so that Han Yu could find more part-time jobs. The county magistrate of the court and the military office promoted the official, which was indeed a normal operation, and could more than double the salary of a month.
Alas, for this family, she has also given up her face.
But before Xue Tao could thank him, Yunhe said again: "But this prosecutor is not easy to be a prosecutor. The military government has to do everything. Not only is it a prosecutor, but it also has to hold books and report to travel abroad. It even has to be in charge of incense (religious affairs) and co-organize the affairs of prefectures and counties. It is the most complicated." In short, the prosecutor of the military government is a scattered gold oil. "Han Silang should hate the prosecutor. Hongdu, you have to ask him clearly what he thinks."
"I have a way to deal with it." Xue Tao was very confident.
The three women said in detail and knew what they were doing, and then Yun Shao said he wanted to go to the kitchen to arrange meals and entertain Xue Tao.
Then Yunhe and Xue Tao stood in the corridor and continued to talk.
Yunhe pointed out more ways to make money for Xue Tao at this time: "Can Han Silang write articles recently?"
"Writing is written, but it is mostly about miscellaneous articles. When he was a county magistrate, he often dealt with some people in the city and wrote articles based on them."
"Tell him to write an epitaph and earn money."
"No, most of the people who write epitaphs are famous officials, otherwise the money will be too small, and this group of people only seek high-quality big money. Now the official rank is far from meeting the requirements after retirement."
Yunhe thought to himself that Xue Tao was saying the same, and then she stared at Xue Tao with a pair of wonderful eyes, and asked her when her sister was away, "Hongdu, have you ever written articles about your brother-in-law and Wei Jiannan (Gao) and Zheng Lianshuai (Zhi)?"
Upon hearing this, Xue Tao hurriedly covered his small nose and tried not to let the blood flow out. He was so frightened by Yunhe's eyes that he could only say vaguely like a mosquito, "It's just a game, a game..."
"In the future, if you write a person in a virtual way, I will ask Zhihui to collect it on your behalf, and then hand it over to Cailuan's masterpiece to engrave and print it. You will be given ten cents for every thousand words. If you write a long piece of 1,500 words, it will be fifty coins, and if you publish a thousand volumes, it will be fifty coins, which is enough to subsidize the family's plan."
At this moment, Xue Tao saw Wu Cailuan, who was wearing a bun in the courtyard, was playing with the dusty whisk with the icing frosting that was jumping around. This person had not returned to his hometown yet.
"Then I'll try it...if it's less than a thousand volumes..."
"It's okay, if you owe it, it's only on me. If you make a profit, I'll share the profit. Besides, you can write three normal articles, legends, and then put one article as a profit market." Cui Yunhe replied very seriously, and then she pointed at Xue Tao very seriously, warning that she would not allow me to write about my brother-in-law, Wei Gao and Zheng Zi, and Cai Luan Ashi, there are so many articles in the place where you can draw inspiration.
Xue Tao nodded only...
At this moment, when he was having a meal under the corridor of the military mansion, Han Yu and Gao Yue were talking about topics between men. Where did Han Yu have any troubles about family plans? He only told Gao Yue that although he had only been in Yangzhou, Huainan for two or three months, he had already met two like-minded friends through articles, one was named Mengjiao, and the other was named Zhang Ji, a native of Hezhou.
Gao Yue smiled and put down his chopsticks and asked these two friends how they "alike" with you.
"Meng Dongye is withdrawn and has a similar personality to me; Zhang Wenchang passes on the Buddhist master's learning, which is similar to me."
"Then neither of these two have passed the Jinshi exam yet, right?"
When Han Yu heard Gao Yue ask about this, he immediately said no, hoping that Duke Wei could become their mentor.
