After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

Shi Kexian's eyes widened in disbelief, and after carefully raising his head and seeing Shi Nai's gentle and encouraging smile, he realized: This is true!

"Thank you, Second Master, thank you, Second Master!" He knelt down with a "plop", kowtowed and wept excitedly.

Ever since he got involved, used the last little savings of the family as a gift, and found himself a job as a yamen servant, the way the clansmen looked at him changed.Many people avoided him, and even ridiculed him in person.

How could he not know that this is a lowly slave?

But in his family, there is an old mother and children, and there are also unmarried younger sisters and unmarried younger brothers among them.Seeing that the money and things distributed in the clan are getting less and less every year, when will his brother's dowry and his sister's dowry be settled?

What he valued was the extra money from this errand.

When Shi Nai asked today, he didn't want to stand up.If such an errand is mentioned in front of the second master, people will think it will dirty their ears.

However, he did not expect that the second master did not dislike him at all, praised him, even praised him, and even taught his boy to read.

"Thank you Second Master, thank you Second Master, woo woo woo..." Shi Ke kowtowed and cried excitedly.

"Get up, get up, you are an elder, how can you kneel to me?" Shi Nai jumped, and hurried forward to support Shi Ke, and lifted him up forcefully.

Shi Nai comforted him for a while, Shi Ke wiped his tears and stood aside.

Then, Shi Nai's gaze fell on the remaining six people, all of whom had expressions of hope.Seeing Shi Nai looking over, a young man in his early twenties immediately stood up: "Second Master, I can read a few words, and I work as a bookkeeper in the Chengdong Restaurant."

It's a legitimate profession, at least it's more respectable than a prison guard.

But Shi Nai really cared about something else: "You know how to settle accounts?"

He recognized that this was Shi Lin, a nephew of Erfang.

A look of complacency appeared on Shi Lin's face: "I'm not very talented in reading, but I can learn to calculate accounts quickly." Just by looking at his expression, one can tell that he is very confident in his ability.

Shi Nai nodded and said, "Come to the mansion tomorrow."

He said that, fools know that there are good things.There was some commotion in the crowd, but due to the presence of the Shi Nai brothers, no one dared to speak out.

Next, Shi Nai asked the remaining five people one by one, and they all gave different degrees of encouragement and some enviable benefits.

All of a sudden, those who had no errands regretted it: If they had known, they would have found some work.

Just as they were considering whether to beg Shi Nai again with the cheek, Shi Nai waved his hand: "Okay, let's go."

"Second Master..." Someone was unwilling, but Shi Nai gave him a light glance, and was too frightened to say a word, and hurried away with his head down.Seeing that someone had eaten and died, the others naturally didn't dare to say more, and they all dispersed for a while.

Shi Nai snorted, and thought: Master, I have been on the battlefield in my previous life, how many of you can't be restrained?

After everyone left, Shi Ding asked: "Second brother, didn't you say that you want to give the management rights to the clan?"

Shi Nai sneered, put the tea bowl on the table, and asked, "Do you think that if you just give it to them, they will remember us?"

Recalling the attitude of the group of people, Shi Ding shook his head, and said with chills: "In their hearts, it is right for our Marquis to support them. Maybe some people think that the reason why the ancestors were able to enshrine Marquis, it's all thanks to their ancestors."

Speaking of this, Shi Ding was angry: "If you want me to say, I shouldn't worry about them. Our family is living a tight life, and we have to provide for such a group of ancestors!"

These words really reached Shi Nai's heart.Shi Nai was also unwilling to spend money and fail to get good.

But no, that's not how it works.

"Even if it's for our brother's future future, we can't just enjoy it for a while."

Seeing that his younger brother was still upset, Shi Nai said, "Why do you think I gave them the right to manage Jinling?"

"why?"

Shi Ding said: I'm too lazy to use my brain, I usually just ask when I don't understand.

Shi Nai shook his head helplessly, and said, "This is the last benevolence and righteousness that our Marquis Mansion has shown them. If they can't live a good life with such a large amount of income, then they deserve to go hungry."

Shi Ding stared for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Second Brother means..."

"Yes, that's what I mean." Shi Nai smiled, "I can give them the management rights, and I can also give them the remaining sacrifice fields in Jinling. But they have to agree to split the clan."

Shi Ding said: I have 1 supporters!

Although a prosperous population is a good thing, too many people are a burden.And their Bowling Marquis Mansion has been overwhelmed by the burden of population.

Shi Nai said: "Let's hold this management right first, so that they can see how much money we can earn in a year. At that time, we will write to the elders of the eighth house in the capital to explain the division of the clan. Let them send someone over. If they won't, let them go with them."

This time, Shi Nai became cruel.

When the historians of the previous life did bad things, how many of the crimes listed were given to them by these clansmen taking advantage of the power of the Houfu?These people are more courageous than their serious masters.

Shi Ding clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, let's do this!"

Although he was a bit concerned about the money he could earn every year, if he could separate out the twenty-families from Jinling, he would wish for it.

Now that the two brothers have reached a consensus, it's easy to talk about other things.

The next day, after Shi Lin came, Shi Nai said that he got a good job from the Xue family, but he was short of an accountant, and asked him if he would like to do it.

"Don't worry, I won't ask you to work in vain. I will give you ten taels of silver every month."

Ten taels of silver is not a small amount, the monthly money of the wife in the Hou's mansion is about this amount.When Shi Lin heard this, his heart was moved immediately, and he swore: "Second Master, don't worry, I will definitely do a good job."

"En." Shi Nai nodded, and rushed to Jinbao to wink, and Jinbao immediately took out a ten tael ingot of horseshoe silver and put it in Shi Lin's hand.

Shi Nai said: "This is paid in advance to you. When you go back, you should resign from your job at the restaurant and come back in three days."

"Hey, okay, thank you, Second Master."

"Go."

"Yes, then I'll go first."

Shi Lin saluted, and happily left with ten taels of silver in his pocket.

When he got home, his wife and daughter-in-law came up to welcome him, and his wife asked nervously, "How is it, the second master is looking for you, what's the matter?"

His daughter-in-law is more concerned about another matter: "Did the second master say that our son of a bitch can also study in the mansion?"

The fact that the second son of Shi Ke's family is going to enter the Hou's mansion and learn to read with the second master has spread among the Shi family family, and everyone is envious.

Those who like to make troubles will say in front of Shi Lin's wife: "The second master also values ​​it. You can see that his kid can read and read. By the way, didn't the second master ask your family to enter the house tomorrow?" Do you want to go to the mansion? If you ask your boy to beg the second master, maybe he can also ask for a place for your boy. "

People said this purely for the sake of jokes, and Ke Shilin's daughter-in-law heard it in her ears, but remembered it in her heart.After returning home, the wind blew in Shi Lin's ear.

Why didn't Shilin have such thoughts?

However, he had seen Shi Nai's tricks before, so he didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of Shi Nai, so he immediately reprimanded his wife.

"I'm doing it for our boys, okay?" His wife said aggrievedly, "If you can learn from the second master for a few days, not to mention how well you learn, it's just that the relationship is not ordinary. If something happens in the future, the second master Can you give me a hand?"

Shi Lin was silent for a moment, then said: "When you enter the mansion tomorrow, let's see what the second master has to say."

Shi Lin's daughter-in-law immediately beamed with joy, and when she sent Shi Lin away this morning, she did not forget to repeatedly remind her: "You must ask the second master.

Shi Lin was in a hurry to leave, so he complied perfunctorily.But in fact, where did he dare to ask?Now being asked by his daughter-in-law about the follow-up, he was a little ashamed, and most of the good mood of winning ten taels of silver was gone: "The second master's decision is also within our control?"

Shi Lin's daughter-in-law flinched, and muttered in a low voice: "The second master can't treat one more favorably than another, but how can the kid from my uncle's family go?"

Shi Lin's old lady at the side heard it, and immediately became furious: "What are you talking about? Does the family owe you? In such a school year, if it weren't for the sacrifice land set up by the Hou Mansion, our family would have starved to death! You are not enough yet."

Shi Lin snorted, took out the ten taels of silver, and handed it to the old lady: "Mother, it was given by the second master. The second master said that in a few days, he will ask me to work as an errand in the Hou's mansion."

Shi Lin's daughter-in-law watched helplessly that such a large piece of silver went into the hands of her mother-in-law, hated her in her heart, but dared not say anything.

Mrs. Shi Lin was overjoyed, and asked incredulously, "Second Master really asked you to work in the mansion?"

Why are the clansmen in Jinling not able to live better than Bafang in the capital?

Isn't it because those people in the capital who have entered the Hou's mansion can go to the Hou's mansion to get an errand from time to time to subsidize the family?

Shi Lin said with a smile: "Second master himself said, can there be a lie? I have to go to Han's restaurant later and resign from that job."

"Resign, resign immediately!" His old mother said happily, and finally told her son, "The second master is willing to give you a chance, so you should work hard for the second master."

Shi Lindao: "Mother, don't worry, my son will definitely do things for the second master."

When he turned around, he saw his daughter-in-law standing aside with a bad face, and couldn't help but get angry, and scolded: "Why are you standing there stupidly? Why don't you go and cook?"

Shi Lin's daughter-in-law curled her lips and muttered, "I can't even take care of a meal", she put on her apron and went to cook.
