Chapter 2484 Shameless

Old Zhoutou lined up in a group of people with a note. The stewards of each family came to pick up the things, and naturally there were also officials and family members who came to pick it up in person.

In the past two years, Lao Zhoutou personally came to collect the salary that was full of treasures. Now he doesn't need his grandchildren to show him the note. He closed his eyes and knew how much salary and Lumi he could receive every month. , so every time he brought someone to lead it alone.

Also because of the many times he came, he met many people here.

These salaried people also have circles, and his circle is the family members of a group of officials.

In this group, there are fathers like him, uncles, and younger brothers.

The common feature of these people is that the family assets are not particularly rich, and the official rank ranges from six to four.

Another thing in common is that they are not natives of Beijing.

Because they are not natives of the capital, and because their family property is not abundant, and the consumption of the capital is too high, so their family invites few servants, and the family members come to get the salary in person;

It was also because of their interactions with them that the old Zhoutou knew that many people would bring their brothers and nephews to their posts after they became officials, so that they could not only help manage the housework, but also run errands for themselves, and leave some things to the servants. is not assured.

At the same time, it also means raising family members.

Or else, one person can get the way.

Old Zhoutou brought a servant and pulled a car over, and with a glance, he found the line, so he went up to line up.

Everyone consciously lined up in two rows, one row was for the servants of various households, and the other row was for officials and family members like Lao Zhoutou.

As soon as he saw Lao Zhoutou, someone immediately greeted him warmly, "Lao Zhou is here, come quickly, come quickly."

Lao Zhoutou asked the servants to line up with the mule cart, while he stepped forward and chatted with his friends. In fact, he barely formed a formation.

"Master Zhou has two boxing gifts, right?"

"Not more, shouldn't it be three copies? Lord Zhou still has a title."

The old Zhoutou smiled and said: "My family Manbao said that the ceremony of the title is listed on the note compiled by the Chongwen Museum, which is regarded as two gifts on one note. Only those who have the title but have no real position are listed separately. Slip."

When everyone heard this, they suddenly realized, and they all complimented Old Zhou Tou for his knowledge.

Old Zhou Tou smiled proudly. Although it is not as comfortable as the village, they still speak very nicely, which is why Old Zhou Tou is always rushing to get his salary.

"What's on your note?"

"Two pieces of cloth, and some hi rice noodles. It doesn't matter. I heard that the moon cakes given this time were made in the palace. The boss is the one. The kids eat."

Old Zhoutou quietly looked at his note, and it was difficult to identify it. He recognized a few numbers, but he didn't know moon cakes. By the way, Man Bao said last night that their family had moon cakes?

Lao Zhoutou thought hard, and found that his memory was a little fuzzy, and he was a little worried.

The old man on the side saw the note in Old Zhoutou's hand, so he took a look and said, "There are four mooncakes for the villager. Hey, why do you have three notes?"

Old Zhou Tou instantly recovered and smiled: "This one belongs to my son-in-law. I took it with me. Come, show me, what is on this piece?"

The old man was a little envious and jealous, but he took it over and read it to him, "One fine linen, one thick cotton, one small bag of Xiimixi noodles, and one moon cake. Hey, you son-in-law doesn't have much stuff."

The old Zhoutou said: "He is an official, and his official position is not high. Look at the bottom, he is still a county, and see what is below."

The old man choked for a moment, and then unfolded it. Sure enough, he saw two lines of small characters written on the bottom, "two pieces of fine cotton, two pieces of silk satin, two bags of Ximi Xi noodles each, and four moon cakes..."

Old man: envy...

People: I'm so envious...

The old Zhoutou whispered twice, and temporarily remembered it, and then quickly showed the old man his daughter's note, looking at it eagerly.

The old man said, "I just read it, but you won't be able to remember it when I get there in a while. The people you brought from your family are illiterate?"

Old Zhou Tou said, "I was so happy when I came out this morning, I forgot to call someone who can read."

The old man said: "Forget it, I'll walk behind you in a while, go in with you, and I'll take it after you finish."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," Old Zhoutou smiled until his eyes were bent, and said to him, "Then I'm welcome. Next time you come to receive your salary, I'll invite you to eat beans."

Occasionally, when Lao Zhoutou was greedy, he would ask Xiao Qian to fry some beans for him, and even the fried beans were better than others, and these friends he knew liked it very much.

"How long have you been in a relationship, what are you polite?"

Everyone was gossiping with Old Zhou, "Old Zhou, Master Zhou and your son-in-law are not too young, right? Are you getting married?"

The old Zhoutou said happily: "It's not just about getting married, the date has already been set, the eighth day of the tenth lunar month."

"Good day, congratulations, congratulations, we'll beg for a drink then."

"Happy together," Lao Zhoutou squinted his eyes and blurted out, "Don't say a cup, then you can drink as much as you want."

Some honestly listened to polite words, but some people's eyes flickered, holding Lao Zhoutou with a smile: "Then we will come to the door to harass, by the way, do you want to post at the wedding banquet?"

Old Zhou was startled, he really went.

He didn't mind it, but they were not very close relatives and friends who had to give gifts for the banquet, so how could they be in a hurry to give gifts?

But the thought flashed, and Old Zhou Tou smiled and said, "I'll bring you the next salary."

The old man who read the note to Lao Zhoutou didn't say anything. When the team moved further and further, more people came forward to take things and left, and fewer people surrounded them. Then he pulled Lao Zhoutou and said in a low voice. : "Old Zhou, this guest is very particular, right? You must not ask the children at home?"

Old Zhoutou was also more able to tell him, looked left and right and lowered his voice: "Of course I have to ask, my daughter-in-law has already said it, we haven't read the book, we don't know much, we can't make our own decisions about the outside world. You have to ask the kids."

"Then you have to take a bite."

The old Zhoutou said indifferently: "What are you afraid of, wait for me to go back and ask my daughter, if you can, please, if you can't please, I won't come to receive the salary next month, and let my family's Wulang come to receive it, he doesn't know anything. ."

Old man: ... shameless.

But he didn't say anything, only looked at Lao Zhoutou with admiration, "It's my time, let's go, you go first, I'll show you."

Old Zhou Tou was happy, and immediately called his servants to drive up, and then dragged the old man in together.

The people who gave the boxing ceremony were also the officials who released the salary. They were precocious to these people. Anyway, it was almost them who came to receive the salary every month. They met once a month.

Seeing the old Zhou Tou, the officials also raised a smile. This one's daughter and son-in-law are popular people in front of His Majesty, especially now.
