Traveling through ancient times, I married an ugly brother

Shen Changjun's recruitment notice is very simple.

Recruitment, scholar or above, under the age of 50, when applying, you need to bring an article that you have completed independently, the content is not limited.

The recruitment notice has been posted for a few days, but no one has come to apply for the job.

On this day, there was a man who seemed to be about 30 years old, gentle and gentle. Although he was not handsome, he had a face of righteousness.

"Excuse me, is this place recruiting people?" The man asked, his thick voice rang out, unhurriedly, as if all the anxious emotions would be soothed by his voice.

The four of Shen Changjun and the others were reviewing the manuscript at the moment, and they were so busy that they couldn't help but raise their heads when they heard the question.

Shen Changjun came to his senses and said, "We're recruiting, please sit down."

The man nodded, found an empty seat next to him, and sat down with a flick of his clothes.

Shen Changjun saw that his waist was straight and he was sitting upright, so he couldn't help straightening his body and becoming serious.

"May I ask this brother's name, where does he live, and where does he come from?" Shen Changjun asked.

"Don't dare, my surname is Chang, my name is Qingliu, I live in the northern suburbs, and I just got elected not long ago."

"Oh, I just won the exam not long ago, so we are in the same subject." Shen Changjun suddenly became happy.

The seriousness that he pretended to be a failure all of a sudden, but he didn't care about it. The first impression he gave of this man was good, especially the upright look on his face, which made people like him very much.

After hearing that, the man couldn't help showing surprise for a moment, then smiled and cupped his hands and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Shen Changjun also cupped his hands and said, "I've been waiting for a long time."

"Brother Qingliu, did you bring any articles?" Shen Changjun continued to ask

Chang Qingliu took out a few pages from his pocket and presented them to the other party.

Shen Changjun took it with both hands, and opened the paper. The handwriting on the paper was vigorous and powerful, piercing through the back of the paper.

Looking at this article again, it is not about current events or stories, but a travelogue, "Nanyang Lake"

There is no gorgeous rhetoric in the article, but it seems to be immersive. After reading it, the only feeling is that I want to put everything down and look at Nanyang Lake. It is a wonderful pen.

After Shen Changjun read the article, he couldn't help but praise: "Wonderful, really wonderful, brother Qingliu has outstanding literary talents, I admire him." "

"Don't dare."

He immediately made a decision and said: "Brother Qingliu, there is no need to be humble, I wonder when brother Qingliu plans to start work?

Chang Qingliu was not in a hurry, he said: "I don't know how much the wages are here, do you provide accommodation and food?"

Shen Changjun slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so excited, why did you forget about this? Our salary is 2 taels of silver per month. This is fixed. It is mainly responsible for reviewing and rubbing. If you If you have your own work, you will be paid a fee for publishing an article, including food and lodging.”

After he finished speaking, he asked with a smile, "Brother Qingliu, are you satisfied?"

Chang Qingliu also smiled, nodded and said, "Yes."

In this way, Chang Qingliu was left behind, and Chang Qingliu's residence was arranged in the paper mill. Although it was not close to the library, it was not particularly far away. If he walked back and forth, it would take 30 minutes according to the current time. distance.

With his joining, the four of Shen Changjun felt a lot more relaxed. He reviewed manuscripts very quickly, but he was also very careful. He usually didn't speak much, but whenever he was asked, he would give his own opinions, and he had unique insights. , helped them solve many problems, and made them feel that they really found the right person.

The recruitment information outside the library has not been removed. Although there is one more person now, it is still far from enough. The manuscripts that need to be reviewed every day are as high as a hill, which really makes them feel powerless.

Today, someone else came to apply for the job.

The visitor looked fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was a little shy. After he walked in, he didn't speak immediately, but was a little hesitant to go up and ask. He was still struggling, but He Jingyuan couldn't help asking: "Are you Are you here to apply for the job?"

The boy nodded quickly.

He Jingyuan then asked, "Who is your last name, where do you live, and where did you come from?"

Why does this sound so familiar.

"My name is Qiao Ran. I'm not from the capital city. I live in Fengyuan County. I'm a scholar."

"Do you have any articles?"

"Yes, yes," he said, took out a few pages and handed them to the other party.

He Jingyuan took it over, opened it and looked at it.

This is a story, the name of the story is "The Poor Boy's Road to the Imperial Examination", and the first chapter has just been written.

Although He Jingyuan's writing is not outstanding, but after all, he came from a noble family and has read several famous works, not to mention reviewing so many manuscripts during this period, so you can tell whether it is good or bad at a glance.

He didn't expect such a shy boy to write such a vivid and humorous article. The first chapter "Smart Marrying a New Husband" is about a poor boy who fell in love with a younger brother from a member's family. But he didn't want that member to look at him as poor and refused to agree to marry his son to him, so he thought of a way to fight wits and courage with that member, and finally married his younger brother in.

After He Jingyuan read it, he thought it was good, but he still handed this article to Shen Changjun for him to make a decision.

Shen Changjun was also very satisfied after reading it, so he nodded to He Jingyuan.

He Jingyuan understood, and then he said to Qiao Ran, "You have been admitted."

Qiao Ran jumped up happily, then smiled embarrassedly.

After explaining the salary, board and lodging, etc., He Jingyuan asked him when he would be able to start work.

"I can go now." Qiao Ran said excitedly.

In this way, Qiao Ran was also left behind.

It was another holiday, and Shen Changjun felt that he was too busy recently and neglected his family.

Every time he fell asleep while playing with the children, he was so tired.

So he decided that on this holiday, he would spend good time with his husband and the children.

As soon as the two babies opened their eyes, they saw that their father hadn't disappeared as usual, so they shouted happily, "Daddy."

Shen Changjun picked them up, kissed each of them, and asked with a smile, "Are the babies good lately?"

"good."

Shen Changjun was satisfied, so he said: "Then father will accompany you all day today, okay?"

Both children laughed happily.

Jiang Liu was planning to go to work, but was stopped by Shen Changjun, saying: "Don't go today, I will take you out to play."

Jiang Liu thought about it and agreed.

The two adults and the two children did not go anywhere else, but came to the house in the northern suburbs.

He remembered that there was a small stream in the middle of the two hills he bought, and there were small tadpoles and small conch in the shallow stream, so he decided to take the children there to play.

Today's weather is very good. Shen Changjun's family has a little donkey, which was specially bought after arriving in the capital to make it easier to go everywhere.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the gate was open. It should have been opened when they went out to graze sheep, so the gate was not closed.

After entering the courtyard, the ground was very clean, and some sundries were placed in the corners. They were neatly arranged, and it could be seen that they had been cleaned with care.

Probably hearing the commotion in the courtyard, the old man walked out of the house and recognized their master at a glance.

He hurriedly turned his head and shouted to the people in the room: "Everyone, come out, come out, the master is here."

Shen Changjun didn't stop him either, they had never seen Jiang Liu, let alone the children, they could take this opportunity to recognize someone.

Except for the old man's two sons, everyone else was there.

After everyone came out, Shen Changjun said: "This is my husband, Jiang Liu, and my two sons, you all know each other well."

"I have seen the master husband, and I have seen the little master."

Jiang Liu nodded towards them, and the two babies looked at them with wide-open eyes, curious in black and white eyes.

After the introduction, Shen Changjun asked them to unload the carriage.

Rice noodles, grains and oil, pork and eggs, and some snacks for the old man's grandson, but they are not old or young.

Since Shen Changjun took over here, every once in a while, he would send someone to deliver rice, flour, oil and other things.

It's true that you don't know the gap without comparison.

The former head of the old man's family would also send them food every once in a while, but not so punctually.

At the longest time, it dragged on for more than half a month.

It's not like the current owner's family, when the time comes, the food will arrive, and they will give some good things during the festivals, and what makes them most happy is that they can get wages

This didn't happen before, and I didn't even dare to think about it.

As servants, they only have rewards but no wages. Of course, those who are far away from their masters like them don't even have rewards.

But now the owner's family is different. Not only does he not pay the wages, but the wages are still calculated according to the head, and even his little grandson has money to take it.

The old man's two sons and the old man get the most money, 200 Wen a month, the husband and the two daughters-in-law get 100 Wen, and the two grandsons get the least money, 30 Wen.

The master said that when they grow up and do more work, the price will increase, and the old man's family can't keep their mouths shut.

When the old man was carrying things down, he saw that the master brought more things than what was given to them at a fixed time every time, he guessed that the master might want to keep food

I can't help but sigh in my heart, what a good master this is, he always thinks of them, they can't let down the friendship of the master, they must repay their kindness.

Sure enough, when they were moving things, they heard the owner say: "These things are extra, and the monthly rice noodles and oil are still delivered as usual, and there are snacks for the children. Some things can't help but Let it go, don't be reluctant to take it out for the children to eat, and let it go bad, we will play here for a day and eat here."

The old man hurriedly said: "Oh, good, master, I understand."

The old man's two grandsons were also very obedient and thanked the master: "Thank you, master." They were all happy, and their faces were beaming with joy. They really were children.

They have been instilled by the old man since they were young to listen to their master and be cautious in their words and deeds, so the two boys were very honest after seeing them, but their eyes were full of wit, and it seemed that they had never been trained since birth. bitter.

Thinking about it, they were born in this house, and they had never served anyone. They were all spoiled by their parents. Although they were often instilled by the old man to obey the master's words, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and they are still growing up. It is an age that does not know the heights of the sky and the earth.
