(Thanks to book friend "Huanghuang Night" for his 2 monthly tickets, "Soul Drunk Xiangxi" for the 100 starting coin reward, 2 recommendation tickets for "Fei Jue Blood Soul A", and 3 recommendation tickets for "Nv Yao'er".)
Although she said this, Zijuan was indeed very satisfied, so she asked again: "That person will give the girl more months. If it is still two or two, I will not comply and will argue with her."
Lin Daiyu: "He actually said that he paid according to the old lady's salary."
Zijuan was surprised and said: "Twenty taels? That's right..., that man still respects the girl."
Lin Daiyu: "He..."
At this time, there was a reminder from outside that Lin Daiyu should offer incense to Xie Yu's "forgotten father and deceased mother" according to etiquette, that is, her "father-in-law and mother-in-law".
Seeing Lin Daiyu stand up, Zijuan suddenly thought of something and asked cautiously: "Girl, are you feeling well?"
Lin Daiyu said doubtfully: "Natural is fine."
So she got up and left, and Zijuan naturally followed with confusion.
According to the rules, Lin Daiyu had to pay her respects to her parents-in-law before breakfast.
Because Xie Yu's body had no parents, Miss Lin could only raise her tea cup to the red silk tablet in a symbolic way, which was regarded as a toast.
There is no need to listen to the dead man's instructions and follow the rules.
When eating, Xie Yu didn't like to be served. Seeing Xie Yu's behavior, Lin Daiyu also asked Xue Yan, who was going to serve her food, to go down.
While eating, seeing Lin Daiyu curious about the red silk tablet, Xie Yu smiled and said, "Maybe I want to take a look."
Lin Daiyu: "I don't want to!"
He added: "This is disrespectful!"
Xie Yu: "What's the point? I belong to a small family. There are so many rules. You can live your life as you please. I'll let you see. Just don't laugh."
Then, Lin Daiyu saw two sets of tablets.
"Honored father, thank you Ergouzi!"
"Honored Mother Xie!
Lin Daiyu: "This..."
Xie Yu: "If you want to laugh, just laugh. This is the only memory I have. The others have been too long and I really can't remember them."
This brand did make Lin Daiyu laugh a little, but then she thought about it. In fact, Xie Yu, like herself, was an orphan without a father and mother. For a moment, Lin Daiyu's eyes became red again.
Xie Yu: "Don't cry. Do you also think of my dead father-in-law and mother-in-law?"
Lin Daiyu: "And my three-year-old brother."
Xie Yu sighed: "Then you should also set up a memorial tablet at home and pay homage to me from time to time as a thought."
Lin Daiyu was a little happy, but then hesitantly said: "Is this okay? Isn't it unreasonable?"
Xie Yu: "It's okay. I am a son-in-law and half a son. I will set up a memorial tablet for my late father-in-law and mother-in-law. I'm sorry that others can't say anything."
Lin Daiyu nodded slightly. Although she looked calm on the outside, she was already so happy that she didn't know what to say.
According to the current feudal ethics tradition, women are not qualified to set up memorial tablets for their parents. At most, they can light a lamp for them in a Taoist temple or temple as an offering.
It's just that due to feudal etiquette, women can't go out casually, so naturally they can't worship all the time.
But if you can worship at home, worship at all times, and add lamps and oil yourself, you will feel more at ease than outsiders coming, then of course there will be no problem.
Of course, it is usually difficult to set up a wife’s family temple in the husband’s house.
There is a saying that the great affairs of the country lie in sacrifice and military affairs, which is naturally solemn.
Of course, except for the son-in-law who is willing, but there are very few sons-in-law who are willing, because this will be suspected of being a door-to-door son-in-law or a surrogate son-in-law.
Because the ancients were superstitious and particularly valued incense, they did not want to erect it immediately because they were afraid of stealing the incense tablets of their ancestors.
After being happy, Lin Daiyu thought about it and thought that Xie Yu didn't understand this very well.
After hesitating for a moment, Lin Daiyu still said with her character: "Do you know what it means if you allow me to enshrine my parents' tablets in your home? What will your colleagues think of you if they hear about this?"
Xie Yu smiled and said: "You think that my small family will not do this. Don't forget my official position. I treat it as my white guard in the Hanlin Academy. Of course I understand this."
"Of course, just don't be so showy."
"By the way, most people have a tradition of worshiping Bodhisattva and Buddha, and I think the same goes for the old lady."
Lin Daiyu: "That's natural!"
Xie Yu: "In this way, I will prepare a small Buddhist hall for you. You can enshrine the tablets of my parents-in-law there and worship them privately behind closed doors."
"Later, I'll have someone prepare a few blank tablets. I know how to carve them privately. Just tell me and I'll carve them for you."
Lin Daiyu saw that Xie Yu was thinking so thoughtfully and couldn't help but said: "Thank you very much. I will keep this kindness in my heart and I will definitely repay you in the future."
As soon as this was said, Lin Daiyu, the official representative, agreed to Xie Yu's three-year agreement.
In order to renew her relationship with Jia Baoyu in the future, she will naturally temporarily assume the role of "Mother of the Xie Family" and take over the housekeeping role for Xie Yu.
Xie Yu: "But don't worry about it in the future. Now you just take care of the house for me. I still have a lot of things to do outside!"
"By the way, um..."
Lin Daiyu: "What's wrong!"
Xie Yu: "Actually, forget it, you take care of your family first, and go to the girls' school if you have nothing else to do. Xiangling respects you very much and says that if you can be a teacher, it will be a blessing for students."
"It's just that you may be less lucky. There are some things in my house that are different from those in the Duke's house. You also have to learn. When you get used to it, you will also have to gradually sort out my affairs in the trading companies and goods yards outside. Get up."
Hearing what Xie Yu said, Lin Daiyu, who had just had a good impression of Xie Yu, became a lot lower. Although she understood, she didn't like worldly things in her heart.
But thinking that Xie Yu had compromised so much on himself, he really had to repay something.
Even if she was disgusted and unhappy about being a housekeeper, she had to take up the responsibility so that Xie Yu could have no worries and concentrate on his official career. This was also a requirement for women in feudal etiquette.
Lin Daiyu still had some things in mind very clearly, otherwise she would be afraid that she would become soft-hearted when she and Xie Yu were separated in the future.
Goodbye Zijuan came over in small steps and whispered something to Lin Daiyu. Xie Yu's ears twitched.
Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "It just so happens that some friends I met before want to come and visit. Among them is Xiangling. I think..."
Xie Yu: "As it should be, just go ahead and do whatever you want in the future. We are equal."
"Just don't forget today. When the time comes, come to the study and ask Qian Xue to give you the account and the butler's key."
Lin Daiyu was just moved by Xie Yu's previous words, but her little daughter was instigated by Xie Yu's last words, and she just said: "I know, I know."
Then, he ran out without finishing his meal.
After all, she is an inexperienced girl in her teens. Even if she is talented and intelligent, she still cannot hide some emotions.
Xie Yu was not polite. The amount of Lin Daiyu's cat food was nothing in Xie Yu's eyes, and he had to clean it all.
Operation CD accepts that in the corrupt ancient life, someone will naturally wash the dishes for Xie Yu.
Afterwards, Xie Yu returned to the study and prepared to inscribe an inscription on the newly opened shop.
I first looked through books for inspiration, but finally decided to be honest and return to the original topic.
When doing business, you don't expect to make a fortune, but you only want to be safe and have peace of mind.
In the end, I changed a few big characters such as "Friends of Women" and "Guests and Homes".
When Lin Daiyu came over with a red face, it seemed that she had been having fun for a while.
Xie Yu saw her!
He said "Huh" and then said: "Why are you back so soon? I haven't seen you for a long time and haven't played much..."
"It would be good for you to move your body more."
Lin Daiyu: "It's so boring. I originally planned to play for a while, but..."
"It's so boring. The days are long and there will always be time."
Xie Yu couldn't understand Lin Daiyu's words "the two are so boring" for a while, but saw that her tragic personality was about to activate.
Xie Yuxian said: "I'm writing a calligraphy for the shop, just take a look and see what happens!"
When Xie Yu said this, Lin Daiyu noticed Xie Yu's handwriting and couldn't help frowning: "Did you write this?"
Xie Yu: "How?"
Lin Daiyu: "It's a pity that I'm not a man. Otherwise, I would have been able to take the top prize!"
Xie Yu: "Well, is it that bad?"
Lin Daiyu: "Tell me how you got into the second-class Chuanlu University. Could it be..."
Xie Yu: "Of course not. In fact, the handwriting requirement during the scientific examination is neat and tidy."
"During my imperial examination, it was probably because I was the first to submit the paper. The emperor saw that I was so unsociable, so he started gossiping. Seeing that I was a good talker, he ranked me first in the second class and was awarded the rank of editor of the Hanlin Academy. official."
Hearing what Xie Yu said, Lin Daiyu chuckled and said: "You and the stupid guy are still eloquent. What do you think the current emperor is? Is he a tutor who checks academic performance?"
After saying this, Lin Daiyu also felt that something was wrong, so she took out a handkerchief to cover up the embarrassment on her face. It was a bit taboo to make fun of the emperor.
Xie Yu could only pretend not to hear it and said: "I have never said this to outsiders. Since I mentioned it today, I will tell you!"
Lin Daiyu: "Since I can't tell outsiders, who wants to listen!"
Xie Yu pretended not to hear and continued: "Actually, many things are just coincidences. Although there is a saying that the first bird is struck first, I chose to be the first to hand in the paper, so naturally I was a little careful."
"I am ranked twenty-ninth in the tribute examination. Although I won't fail in the imperial examination, if I lose myself to everyone else, my ranking will only drop, not rise."
"With my background and appearance, if I am waiting for selection in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, although there is a chance that I will work in the Sixth Bureau, there is a high probability that I will leave the capital to serve as a county magistrate in a remote small county, or as a county magistrate in a prosperous small county."
"If you fall into the turbulent officialdom, you will rarely get promoted in the current officialdom, or in your life."
"Since I have been preparing for so long, I am still determined to give it a try. No matter how bad it is, at least I will leave an impression on the Holy Emperor."
"If my advice is correct, the Holy Emperor will most likely improve my ranking in the scientific examination. There is still a risk."
"It's just that I didn't expect..."
Lin Daiyu: "I didn't expect anything..."
Xie Yu: "I just didn't expect the Holy Father to mention me as the first passer of the second division."
Lin Daiyu: "So what? This shows that the emperor appreciates your article. Isn't this what you hope to do as an official?"
Xie Yu: "I understand, but to be disrespectful, the Holy One is testing me, so why am I not observing the Holy One?"
Lin Daiyu: "Then what did you see?"
Xie Yu: "On the second day of the court, the Holy Master has a clear vision. He is a man of great achievements."
Lin Daiyu: "Isn't that the Mingjun mentioned in the book? It is a blessing for scholars, right?"
Xie Yu: "It is indeed a blessing, but the Second Saint came to the court and the Supreme Emperor was also a promising person when he was young."
"You are also studying. You should know that the more promising you are, the more you want to do things. As long as you do things, you have to use people and money. Naturally, there will be all kinds of games in this."
Lin Daiyu: "Then you..."
Xie Yu: "Speaking of which, I am also sorry for you. When I used you as a shield, I did have selfish motives. My selfishness can be seen by the old lady, otherwise she would not have issued the decree in a hurry."
Lin Daiyu: "What selfish motives? What does this have to do with the old concubine!"
Xie Yu: "This..."
Lin Daiyu: "Then don't forget what you said yesterday, the three-year agreement."
Xie Yu: "Of course I mean what I say. Please rest assured."
Lin Daiyu: "Then keep talking!"
Xie Yu: "Later I thought more clearly. The Holy Spirit mentioned me as the first in the second class. In fact, apart from my articles being qualified, it should be my background."
Lin Daiyu: "Where is your origin?"
Xie Yu: "Yes, my background, I am a mud-legged person, so naturally I have no connection with the relatives of nobles and nobles in the imperial court."
"If your Majesty wants to make a difference, you must consolidate the rights that have been usurped by the nobles of the court, and you will need a good sword to do so."
Lin Daiyu: "A good knife?"
Xie Yu: "From the book, you also know the term Ku Li. In fact, the existence of Ku Li is because of the needs of the emperor. If possible, no one is willing to be a swordsman."
Lin Daiyu: "What does the old concubine mean?"
Xie Yu: "I said I was engaged to be married to you. The old concubine followed the trend and was sure to contact Rongguo Mansion. Since she has contacted Rongguo Mansion."
"In the eyes of the Holy Master, there will naturally be selfish motives. If you are selfish, you will not be a good sword. On the other hand, it was the old concubine who saved me. You can see that there are several cruel officials who ended well in the history books."
For a long time, Lin Daiyu thought of Jia Mu's words and sighed: "I am a sick woman. Is it appropriate for you to talk to me about important affairs of the court?"
Xie Yu: "Well, that's right. I don't know why today, but I suddenly said these heartfelt words. I shouldn't, so let's just keep talking!"
"How about you read my words."
Lin Daiyu also calmed down. Thinking of the situation between the two of them, she felt a little closer to Xie Yu and said: "I only see the craftsmanship and old-fashionedness in my eyes. I really don't understand why you can write like this if you are only a few years older than me." words."
Xie Yu said happily: "You really understand, very well!"
He secretly exclaimed: "She is indeed a talented woman with a delicate heart in the book!"
So, Xie Yu hurriedly said: "I have opened a new cotton shop, and I am just thinking about a plaque. Please think of one for me!"
Lin Daiyu asked a few questions about the cotton cloth store and found out that it was a low-cost cloth store that benefited the poor. She immediately came up with several plaque names. skillful.
So, she gave up her brush to Lin Daiyu to write. She was not polite and just stretched out her hand to write.
Although he is weak and his words are a little weak, he is very spiritual in his words. This is something Xie Yu cannot write. Some words can be described without tracing.
After Xie Yu asked Lin Daiyu to write them all, he said, "Okay, just use these words as a plaque. I will have them all carved out. Each branch will be usable."
When she heard that her own words would be used as a plaque, Lin Daiyu said anxiously: "No, no..."
His face was full of embarrassment.
At this time, Qianxue and Qingwen walked in holding the box containing the account books and the abacus.
Seeing the excitement between the two of them was a little embarrassing.
It was Qingwen: "I've met the master, madam!"
