Jingzhao Mansion's Cong Jiupin Lu Shi sounds like an inconspicuous little official, but in fact he works in Jingzhao Mansion!
Officials of the same rank would naturally have a higher status here in Jingzhao Mansion.
"As long as you handle your errands well, be cautious and diligent, you are expected to be promoted in the future. Brother Wei dare not say, but in at least three years, you can be promoted to the ninth rank. If you do well, the eighth rank will not be the same. no hope."
Among the officials in the imperial court, there were many who did not have a scientific background.
Some were recommended by others to become officials, some were favored because of their ancestors' merits, and some were purely because of their good family background and broad connections, so they could get themselves an official status by spending some money.
Don't underestimate a ninth-grade official. He is the lowest among the grades. But for ordinary people, since he is an official, he will enjoy many benefits.
With this paper tattoo, and then going to get the official uniform, he will also have a salary in the future.
"From the ninth grade, your annual salary is fifty-two shi, and your job land is said to be two hundred acres. However, the land in the capital is tight. I estimate that you can be given about one hundred and fifty acres of job land. Your monthly miscellaneous income is about half a month. , which is fifteen hundred dollars, and there will be two more force teachers."
Xie Xiuqi was still confused and didn't understand what his cousin said at all.
"ah?"
Xie Xiuwen chuckled and said it again patiently.
Xie Xiuqi is so excited!
Does he have a job?
It’s enough to have Lumi, but also a job?
It sounds like the monthly salary is not much, but there is a job! There is no need to pay taxes for this, and he will be regarded as an official in the future.
"Thank you, cousin!"
Xie Xiuqi said, and actually stood up and gave him a big salute.
Xie Xiuwen was startled and quickly helped him up: "What are you doing! You and I are a family. Back then, my uncle was willing to help me. Now that I have the ability, I naturally want to give something back."
Xie Xiuqi's eyes became wet.
Although he did not take the college entrance examination, who has not longed for fame and official status since he was a child?
He knew what his abilities were, so he simply stopped thinking and could save money at home. Now he was better, he could do serious things, and his status was much higher than before. How could he be unhappy?
"My little brother still has to write letters to his family. It would be good if he could bring his younger siblings, nieces and nephews over. You are still young, and it is not good to be separated from your flesh and blood all the time."
"Yes, what Brother Wen said is right. I'm going to write a letter to my father right now."
Xie Xiuqi was a scholar in the past, so he was naturally exempted from hard labor, but not everyone was exempted from it.
Therefore, the Xie family is still dedicated to supporting their grandchildren to study hard in order to obtain more benefits.
Now that Xie Xiuqi is an official, it is different. His relatives are exempted from labor. This alone is enough to make his father and brother excited for a long time.
When Xie Xiuqi's letter was sent, it didn't arrive so quickly.
Xie Xiuwen considered that he was his cousin and that he would bring his family to Beijing in the future, so he simply sent Fang Hu to find out if he could not live in the same place.
When he learned that the yard he had rented in Sanxing Lane was still vacant, he decided to rent it.
It wasn't too far from Jingzhao Mansion, and we arrived in two quarters of an hour.
Xie Xiuqi only thought of these issues after following him back to Beijing.
If he was alone, he could live in his cousin's house shamelessly, but his wife and children were coming, and it was really inconvenient for a large family to drag the whole family with them, so he reluctantly proposed to move out.
"If you don't tell me, I will tell you. This is the lease. I have already rented the yard. You can live here first. When I came to Beijing for an interview, I lived here, in the second house. It’s enough for your family.”
Xie Xiuqi took the deed and wanted to give him the money.
"No need to be busy. It's just a little rent money, I can still afford it. If you have money on hand, you still have to save it first. When you bring your wife and children to Beijing, don't you want to eat and drink? Also, is your son going to do it? Don’t you want to go to school?”
Xie Xiuqi was still very determined to give him money, but when he reminded him, he froze in taking out the money.
"The days to come are long. We are relatives. Shouldn't we stop interacting with each other in the future? There is no need to limit ourselves to just a moment."
After saying this, Xie Xiuqi's face turned slightly red. He always felt that his cousin had repaid him too much. How much money did they receive in total back then? How could it compare to the great favor of finding errands for him now?
"Okay, the matter is settled like this. Let Fang Hu take you to see the house later. Your strength class has not yet arrived. If you need manpower or are short of something, just tell Fang Hu."
Xie Xiuqi wanted to refuse again, but Xie Xiuwen blocked him again: "Your sister-in-law also knows about this. She specially prepared a new bedding and took it with her when she came back."
Well, what else can I say?
Even his sister-in-law is willing to take the initiative to help, so it would be hypocritical for him to shirk.
Besides, over in Gaoyang County, Uncle Xie and his family were so happy when they received this letter!
"Dad, did I lie to us? Did Wendi really find a job for him?"
"Well, you can see for yourselves. It's a serious job, an official job, and a salary."
Everyone in the room looked at it one by one, and finally believed that it was not a fake. And judging by the days, Xie Xiuqi had already started working on his errand.
"By the way, the youngest said he wanted to take his wife and children over. He is now on errands in the capital, and his household registration has to be moved. At that time, the children will have to study in the capital for scientific examinations. This is a big deal for my Xie family. "
"Yes, yes, father, don't worry, we will definitely support you."
"Our father-in-law's money is not very rich. I will take the initiative to bring him a hundred taels of silver notes so that they can settle down there. Do you have any objections?"
With one hundred taels of silver, you can only rent a house or buy a house in the capital, which is completely impossible!
No one in the family objected and the matter was settled.
Uncle Xie is very happy here, but Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie's family are in chaos.
However, Xie Rongcheng and his family's room was not affected. They were separated anyway, and living like rice bugs in Xiejiazhuang was quite comfortable.
"Is this Xiu Qi really a recorder of the ninth grade, or is he working in Jingzhao Mansion?"
Uncle Xie and Uncle Xie got together and quickly verified that these were true.
At this point, it is useless no matter how much we regret.
Thinking about it carefully, in addition to the younger brother's family benefiting, Xie Rongcheng, the second wife, has also been taken away. In addition, Xie Xiuwen's nephews have basically been taken away to the capital, and Xie Ronghui was also selected as a scholar. I'm afraid that from now on, I'll have to point to Xie Cheng's lineage.
Uncle Xie sighed, "You made a mistake!"
Uncle Xie and his family took the time to pack up and quickly arranged for someone to send them to the capital. On the day they were leaving, they received another letter from Xie Xiuqi.
Uncle Xie was so excited that he almost shed tears when he saw what was written in the letter.
"Xiuwen is a good boy!" (End of chapter)
