Old Zhou Tou only rested for one day, and early the next morning he took a hoe and began to stroll all over the yard, thinking about where to plant fruit trees.
As a result, he just wandered to the main courtyard, and saw Man Bao hurriedly running out with a basket in his hand, Old Zhou stopped and asked, "What are you running for?"
Man Bao said: "I'm going to work in the palace today, father, I'll go first."
Old Zhoutou got excited, rolled his eyes, and immediately dropped his hoe to catch up with her buttocks, and asked, "Man Bao, can you take a look at the palace? I won't go in, just go far away." Have a look."
You just want to get in, but you can't get in right now.
But it's okay to look at it from a distance, and it's okay to look at it up close, so Man Bao took him away together.
Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had already been waiting. Mr. Zhuang went to work later than them. As long as he didn't have classes, he didn't go for half a day and no one said anything.
So he does not go with them.
Man Bao put the basket on the car, and then climbed up.
Xiaoqian caught up in a daze, and asked, "Man Bao, you don't want breakfast?"
Man Bao struggled and said: "The sun is coming out soon, we have to enter the palace before the other adults, otherwise they will catch us, and they will impeach us for being lazy again."
They got up a little late today.
When Xiaoqian heard this, he immediately said: "Wait a minute, I baked some pancakes, I'll pack some for you."
After that, he ran back to the kitchen and picked up a few baked cakes and put them in the basket, unscrewed a bamboo tube, poured the cold rice soup into it, ran to the front yard and jammed them all in the car, "Eat on the road , I have to work next time, so I can’t sleep in anymore.”
Man Bao answered.
Seeing that they were all ready, Daji drove the carriage forward, while Gao Song and the other two guards led their three colts to catch up on horseback.
The cakes are freshly baked and still warm, filled with meat fillings, which are salty and fragrant, and they are still crunchy after a bite, which is delicious.
After Man Bao took two mouthfuls, he unscrewed the bamboo tube, and Bai Shan took out the regular teacups in the car. Everyone poured a cup, and then ate cakes and drank rice soup at the same time, feeling very comfortable.
Even Bai Erlang looked nostalgic, "Sister-in-law Zhou made delicious pancakes."
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Old Zhou Tou, who had already eaten breakfast, felt a little hungry again, but he glanced at the third child and said nothing in silence.
Man Bao tore a piece of cake from her hand and gave it to her father, "Father, you eat too."
Old Zhou Tou pushed back, "Dad has eaten it, and Daddy lives at home, you can eat as much as you want, if you enter the palace, if you want to eat, you have to wait for the next rest and bath, by the way, you have to enter the palace for a few days Hugh?"
Bai Shan said: "Eight days."
Old Zhou sighed, "Why is it taking so long?"
Bai Shandao: "Studies are like this. The Imperial College also has two days off every eight days. It's just that the Chongwen Hall is for the prince to accompany him to study, so you are not allowed to come in and out casually."
Old Zhou was stunned, and asked: "You are going to study with the prince in the palace, but Man Bao is treating the prince's illness, why does she have to live in the palace?"
Bai Shan was silent, could he tell the old prince Zhou that he was using his power for personal gain
Man Bao said while eating the cake: "Father, I am editing books in Chongwen Hall. I have two official positions, one is a sixth-rank imperial doctor, and the other is a fifth-rank editor."
Old Zhou felt distressed, "How old are you, do you have to do so much work?"
Man Bao thought for a while and said: "It's not very tiring, and I can do many things by saving the time of going in and out of the palace."
Old Zhoutou has never experienced the feeling that one day is not enough in his life. Even when the farm work is the busiest, what he thinks before going to bed is that today is finally over; past
So he looked full of loss, and said: "But these are also two jobs."
"I also got two salaries," Man Bao said, "It's still a day. Although I do more work than a single job, the salary is also higher."
Only then did the old man remember to ask, "Yes, you are an official, and you have a salary."
Man Bao nodded, "I have a salary, hey, didn't I write it in my letter?"
Old Zhou shook his head in a daze, "I didn't hear your second brother say it."
But Man Bao scratched his head and said: "I wrote it, I wrote it, I have already started to receive the salary, and it is double."
Old Zhou Tou naturally believed in Man Bao even more, so he scolded: "My second child doesn't know how to read the letter, and he missed such an important thing."
Zhou Yilang, who didn't know the word "salary", skipped a word and sneezed hard at home twice.
Feng went out with a dustpan and saw it, and asked, "Did you get cold last night?"
Zhou Zhoulang rubbed his nose and shook his head, "No, probably my parents are talking about me in the capital."
"With Man Bao here, parents won't talk about you," Feng said, "If you want to talk about it, it's also about the crops in the field. By the way, I think the fields on the east side are a little dry. The past two days If it doesn't rain, we'll have to fetch water from the ditches to water the fields."
Tuesday Lang said: "I'll go and have a look in the evening."
Feng Shi nodded, then looked at the sky and sighed sadly, "I don't know if the two girls are doing well in the capital. The two girls are not young anymore, so it's time to say kiss."
Zhou Zhou Lang said: "Don't worry, Erya is very powerful now. Let's see the situation first. You have to find a rich family. You don't have to go down the land when you marry. It's best to have a few shops at home for her to take care of."
"She's not my sister-in-law, can you find her?"
Zhou Zhoulang said: "You underestimate our daughter too much. Didn't you hear what Man Bao said? She and Sanya are both very powerful now. Just look for the good ones, and don't just promise them to the peasants."
"What's wrong with the farmer, aren't you also a farmer?"
"I am, so I don't want them to suffer like me."
Mrs. Feng stopped talking, and after thinking for a while, said: "It is necessary to search carefully, they have been to the capital at least, and have seen the big world. Don't expect to be as successful as my sister-in-law in the future, and I can have one-tenth of my sister-in-law. That's fine too."
At this time, the old man stared at Man Bao with piercing eyes and asked, "How much is the salary?"
Man Bao said: "In terms of money, the fifth grade is 3,600 Wen in January, and the sixth grade is 2,400 Wen."
Old Zhou wanted to add it up, but the data was too big for him to add up, "Just tell me how much it is in total."
"Six hanging coins."
The old Zhou Tou understood it, and he frowned and asked, "It's quite a lot. After all, our family might not be able to save six pennies in a year. Yours is a month, which is indeed a lot, but I remember when you were sitting in Jishitang before, you had five taels of silver a month, right? How come the money for being an official is the same as the money for sitting in the hall?"
Moreover, the money of two officials is comparable to the money of one sitting in court.
Man Bao said: "I still have Lumi, and I still have a job field."
This is the big head.
Man Bao puffed his chest out and said, "I have 15 stones of lumi for the fifth rank, and eight stones for the sixth rank. I have a total of 1,000 mu of land."
Old Zhou's eyes widened and he exclaimed, "How much?"
