As long as they work hard, at the beginning of the month, their salary will naturally be paid out, whether it is money or rice, and the truth will be revealed by then.
Shen Lang understood very well the current status and situation of the three brothers. They looked like officials and could lead dozens of people on errands, but they were doing hard work and earning hard-earned money.
If you are not careful and say something that is not in line with your boss's wishes, you will be put on the wrong foot. Every morning when you open your eyes, you will feel like you are walking on thin ice, and you will not be able to let go of the boredom and depression in your heart for a long time.
"...That's what the second brother said!"
Gao Yiyue agreed, then lowered his head and started to eat melon seeds. Anyway, one and a half months have passed this month. No matter how itchy my heart is, if I don't miss this time, I can just wait.
With this little salary, there is only a few taels of silver left a year. Not to mention marrying a wife and having children, I don’t know when and what month I will be able to save a hundred taels of silver.
There must be a lot of guys in Jinyiwei who think the same thing as me, and they are all eagerly looking forward to the rewards from above.
Shen Lang felt it was necessary to remind this brother again not to mess around at this critical moment: "Be careful of your subordinates and don't let them take advantage of the opportunity to enrich their own pockets. Once they are reported by others and those people kneel down and plead with you, you will control them." It’s embarrassing, it’s making things worse inside and out!”
In Jinyiwei, it is common for everyone to suppress those who have a foundation and suppress those who have no foundation, and those who come first to exclude those who arrive later. However, some people are still obsessed with it.
Shen Lang had encountered this kind of thing before. If he begged for mercy, he would definitely offend his superiors, and if he remained silent, he would chill his subordinates' hearts. So after learning his lesson, he said something ugly before going on an errand, so as not to implicate himself.
Gao Yiyue understood that this was the second brother's experience and said, "Yes, I have told them everything that needs to be said. Anyone who commits any deviant behavior must bear all the consequences on his own!"
If something happens to him, the eldest brother and the second brother will try their best to protect themselves, even if they lose everything, but if something happens to their subordinates, that's a different matter.
The two brothers just chatted without saying a word. They ate a lot of melon seeds and were still hungry, but the meat dishes and wine on the table were not touched at all.
Not long after Xu Shi, around eight o'clock, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the hospital.
"I'm back! Is anyone home?"
"Big brother is back!"
Gao Yiyue stood up in a hurry and went out to open the door happily, which meant that he could feast immediately. After waiting for such a long time, looking at the chicken and elbows, he almost drooled with greed.
Before hearing the sound, Shen Lang was sitting on the kang and heard his brother's unique footsteps, so he didn't feel surprised. He just felt that he came back a little early. Could it be that his eldest brother didn't please Qian Shi?
It's rare that today I would like to invite my eldest brother to have a drink with me. If my eldest brother is still as dull and unsmiling as before, I will miss the opportunity. Wanting to be promoted to a higher level is just a daydream.
Now that you've gone home, it's better to ask for clarification. It stands to reason that a treat is either a business matter or a private matter. No boss would invite a subordinate for no reason.
Wang Qianshi didn't have much contact with his eldest brother. Apart from errands, he had almost no personal relationships, let alone close confidants. Could it be that he had something to hide behind this sudden treat?
A middle-aged man with a height of nearly five and a half feet came in through the curtain outside the door. Although his profile was not burly, because he was also a practitioner, his figure also appeared to be quite strong.
The slightly elongated face showed some vicissitudes of life due to the crow's feet at the corners of the eyes and the bronze complexion, but the eyes were very clear, as if there were two bright lights dotted under the tired body.
The man first placed the embroidered spring knife, a package and a bamboo bucket left by his father on the table foot, then took off the lace-up dome-rimmed hat and helmet, and finally began to take off the long trousers he had worn all day. A double-breasted hood with gold buttons.
You don't need to wear it like this when running errands and arresting people. It's not only heavy but also trivial. But during the special period when the prince is supervising the country, the frontline special service personnel of Jinyiwei need to be fully armed and ready to go out at any time.
From the commanding officer Luo Yangxing to the captains and warriors, all must be neatly dressed. Firstly, it is to show the prestige of the emperor's hawks and dogs, and secondly, it can also improve one's own defense when raiding homes.
If there are some stubborn guys on the other side, like those bastards raised by Marquis Yang Wu, no matter who you are, they will stab you in the chest without even asking. After wearing the armor, you will have a cover in an emergency. He won't be chopped into pieces by the opponent's knife.
"Brother, are you thirsty? Drink a bowl of water first?"
Gao Yiyue smelled the smell of alcohol emanating from his eldest brother and guessed that he had already tasted good wine at Qianshi's house, so there was no need to persuade him to drink at home and he could just drink water.
"Um!"
Lu Shang was also really thirsty. Without saying anything, he just picked up the big bowl in front of him and drank it "gudong" and "gudong". He didn't let out a sigh of relief until he finished drinking.
As expected, drinking at home is much easier than drinking at the boss's house. On that occasion, even if it is good wine to treat yourself, you will not be able to drink it to your heart's content.
When Shen Lang saw that his brother looked pretty good and could not see the frown on his face, he asked tentatively: "Brother, how about the banquet?"
Qianshi was already a fourth-rank official in the Jinyiwei system, and two levels above that was the commander, which was several levels different from the small general banner. Treating guests rashly might arouse suspicion.
Gao Yiyue also had the same doubts in his heart. Since the second brother had already asked the question, it was much easier for him. He only had to listen by the side.
Lu Lu coughed dryly, and instead of directly talking to each other, he glanced at the two meat dishes on the table and responded with a smile: "You two have a lot of fun at home. You spent a lot of money, right?"
There was still a lot of food on the plate, and it looked like it wasn't moving much, so it was probably waiting for me.
After saying that, he opened the package and took out the things packed from Qianshi's house - more than half a duck, thirty or forty slices of soy sauce beef, and half a pound of peanut fans!
The small bamboo barrel contains wolfberry wine, which not only tastes very good, but also has nourishing effects. It's just a little missing, but it's better than nothing.
When asked by the eldest brother, the second brother remained silent. Gao Yiyue summarized what he had heard before, so that the eldest brother would not have to nag them not to reach out when doing errands.
Lu Shang looked at his brother who was calm and composed, his expression was the same as usual. He didn't find anything unusual, and it didn't seem like he was deliberately trying to deceive himself, so he felt relieved.
The two combined the things they brought home into one and almost filled the small square table. For the three brothers, this dinner became an extremely sumptuous meal, which was the first time in two or three months.
Even if everyone is a martial arts practitioner and eats a lot, and they don't drink water until the evening, they can still eat and drink enough after such a meal.
"...Brother, is there something on your mind?"
