Even though many officials actually don't have much annual salary, there are still so many students who are single-minded about pursuing official careers, which are nothing more than power.Officials with a little bit of real-time job will not be less than those who take the initiative to send gifts to their door. Except for those who have nothing to do, other officials will have more or less extra money to fish for. The amount of money they get depends on their character and how much courage they have.
Ji Xuanhe has never developed and expanded the Ji family business, but relying on Yunji Weaving Workshop alone, he earns a lot of income every year, and his own official position is enough to protect him.
Time passed by inadvertently, this day was Ji Xuanhe's first holiday since he became Mr. Shizi, Ji's family has been busy from top to bottom recently, so he planned to take Shao Yunchen and the children to have a good time in Jincheng.
Half a month after arriving in Jincheng, Ji Xuanhe hadn't had a good look at Jincheng yet, he had only seen it when he arrived there, not as much as the children had seen of the world.
The busiest street in Jincheng is on Xihua Street in Zhongcheng, but the busiest street market is Xuanqing Street in West City in Outer City.The service targets are different. Xihua Street is full of rich and powerful households wearing brocade clothes, but Xuanqing Street is completely different. From poor households wearing patched clothes to officials' children wearing silk and satin, everything is there.However, in general, Xuanqing Street is still dominated by ordinary people, and the more sophisticated officials and wealthy households seldom set foot here.
The children are still young, and everyone in Ji's family is busy recently, not to mention Ji Xuanhe, even Shao Yunchen can't spare to take them out to play, and Ji Ningyou can still pass some markets by the way when he goes to the academy to listen However, Ji Ningran doesn't have this benefit anymore, at most he will follow Shao Yunchen to visit the Ji Mansion under construction.
This is a solid child, seeing his father and dad personally taking him and his elder brother to the street, Ji Ningran was very excited, the smile on his face was like a blooming flower bone, no matter how you look at it, it makes people happy.
Xihua Street is divided into East Street and West Street. Ji Xuanhe lives in the southeast area of Midtown, which is relatively close to East Street.Based on the principle of proximity, he decided to take the East Street first.
The East Street of Xihua Street is close to the two residential areas of officials and clans. Most of the pedestrians on the street are residents of these two areas. Today is just a holiday, and the flow of people is even more impressive. The dignitaries can be seen everywhere.
Ji Xuanhe is just a fourth-rank official, and he can even be a magistrate in the local area. In Jincheng, he can't go up or down, which is really embarrassing.Originally, such an official position was nothing in the capital, but now it has shrunk a lot.Why do you think that after the Jin Dynasty was divided into five, the number of officials has increased significantly, the number of local officials has not changed, and the number of central officials has not just doubled.
So, it's true that Ji Xuanhe didn't want to work in Jincheng.If it weren't for the order from above, he himself would not take the initiative to make efforts to transfer back to Jincheng as a central official.
The shops on Xihua Street are very popular. When Ji Xuan and them arrived in Jincheng, the shops here had already been scrambled for, and there was not even any soup left for the latecomers.If you want to buy a shop on Xihua Street, you have to use your power to suppress people, or you have to wait until one of the shops goes down and sells the shop outside, and other people can buy it.
The Jin Dynasty had relatively few restrictions on the color of clothes. As long as you don’t wear bright yellow, you can choose any other color. Therefore, the clothes of passers-by on the street range from gray linen clothes to bright and dazzling red satin shirts.Especially the little girls, all of whom are dressed up youthfully and beautifully, which are extremely attractive.
Everyone walking on Xihua Street was well-dressed, and even the most numerous servants from various prefectures dressed better than many small households in the outer city.Basically, ordinary cotton clothes are the lowest grade, and servants with a little bit of status are all dressed in silk.Thinking about it, the servants also represent the face of the master, and if the servants lose face, what they lose is not their own face, but the face of the master's family.
The servants who can come out with the master, who doesn't have some face in front of the master, will naturally be well dressed.
Since the establishment of Yunji Weaving Workshop, Ji's family has mostly worn their own clothes, and this time is no exception.The expensive tribute satin Ji's family doesn't have it, they have it, but it's also something that no other family has.
Shao Yunchen truthfully warned his two children not to be envious of other children. The fabrics on them were specially designed by their father and father. Before no one discovered this technology, the clothes on their bodies could be called unique.Of course, there is no need to show off, so as not to bring disaster to oneself.
At present, the Ji family does not have the ability to fight against the powerful, so it is better to keep a low profile.If the pressure was too much, Ji Xuanhe didn't hold back, at least the life-saving items had already been prepared, otherwise what would the 400 million system coins spent be for.
With no worries, Ji Xuanhe does things more freely.Fortunately, he has a good temper, as long as he doesn't challenge his bottom line, he is still easy to speak.Otherwise, if you switch to someone who is unreasonable and even more unforgiving, I guess this day will be wonderful.
"Father, it's so fragrant over there, let's go and have a look?" Ji Ningran's eyes were full of yearning, no matter how serious, the rules are still there, even if he really wanted to enter the shop with the fragrance, he held back and turned around. He asked with his head, trying to get his father to agree.
"Okay. Ning Ran, don't tug at the hem of Dad's clothes. If you do, it will wrinkle." How could Shao Yunchen disagree with such a trivial matter.
Ji Ningran was happy when he heard that, he stopped abusing Shao Yunchen's clothes, took Ji Ningyou's hand, and rushed into the shop.
It was not only children like Ji Ningyou and Ji Ningran who were attracted by the fragrance, but also some half-grown teenagers, girls and wives.
Ji Xuanhe looked up at the signboard 'Baiweixuan', and it was obvious that it was related to eating.After entering, I found out that this is a pastry shop, which has everything from tea cakes to preserved fruit candies.The store doesn't look obvious from the outside, but it's actually very spacious inside. There are private seats on the first floor and private rooms on the second floor.
The private seats are separated by half-person-high screens, and the figures inside seem to be indistinct. They have an independent space, but they are not completely isolated from the outside. It is interesting to watch.
Xiang Hai looked at the two pink and jade-carved young masters in front of him, and greeted him with a smile on his face: "You two young masters, please, do you want a private seat or a private room? Where are your adults?"
Ji Ningyou looked back, only to realize that he and his younger brother were walking fast, and his father and father were at least a few steps away from them at this time, so he tightly held onto his younger brother who was still about to run forward, and waited until he was able to move forward. He asked, "Father, where shall we sit?"
Ji Xuanhe glanced at it, and found that all the good seats were occupied, and asked Xiang Hai who was waiting nearby: "Is there a private room facing the street upstairs?"
"Young master, there happens to be another room." After Xiang Hai confirmed, he hurriedly led him upstairs.
As expected of Xihua Street, for such a private room, the minimum consumption is 20 taels, that is to say, if you don’t order anything, it’s the same price.Of course, no one would be so stupid. The base price is 20 taels, which comes with a standard package.
There are some examples of people who are struggling and pay the lowest price to try something new. Such examples are not uncommon, but they are extremely rare.After all, not many people are willing to do such an embarrassing thing. Even if the family is not rich, once they enter the private room, they will have to order one or two dim sums outside the set meal.It is still acceptable to slap a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man once in a while.
Ji Xuanhe handed the dim sum booklet to his two children. Ji Ningyou was already literate, but he hadn't read all of them.Ji Ningran didn't have this ability, he was still young, and he only listened to it when Ji Xuan and his husband taught Ji Ningyou.
But Ji Ningran couldn't be bothered, it's hard to tell if the accompanying pictures are real or fake, he just needs to point at the pictures, no matter what the name is, just point to the good-looking spots.
It is not mandatory to order the private room set meal, it is just a preferential measure launched by 'Baiweixuan'.If you switch to other snacks, the price will be at least [-]% higher than the set meal.
Children, it's the first time I come here, and I don't have the concept of ordering a set meal.Ji Ningran ordered a few that he liked, then turned to look at his brother, then at his father and dad, his eyes were full of doubts about why you didn't order.
"Ning You, Ning Ran has ordered, you can also order a few." Shao Yunchen ordered a pot of Yunwu tea by himself, "Xuanhe, don't you want some?"
"Give me a buttery snowball." The sun is shining brightly outside, and the heat makes people uncomfortable, so eating some ice is just a good way to calm down.
"Okay, gentlemen, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon." Xiang Hai moved neatly, and after exiting the private room, he called another waiter who had made friends with him, and went to the backstage to receive various snacks according to the order.
Xiang Hai was able to be the sophomore in 'Baiweixuan' because he was selected from many candidates.There are many benefits here. As long as you are happy to serve the guests, a little bit of leakage between your fingers is comparable to his moon silver. If you are lucky, the reward you get will usually be several times higher than the moon silver.It's a pity that there are many shopkeepers and shopkeepers who need to be separated out. Even so, the waiters in other branches in other streets are envious of them.It's really not easy to do any line of work.
Those who can fight a bloody way out of many mistresses, who is not a human being, no matter how dissatisfied they are, they will not show any emotion on their faces.
Xiang Hai didn't have any other emotions, he just took the attitude of soliciting customers.But what he didn't expect was that the four members of this family, looking at their clothes, were inconspicuous among the many dignitaries in Jincheng. After he noticed what the youngest child ordered, he deliberately paid attention to it, only to find that they What he was wearing was not satin or gorgeous hangchou, but if he really asked him to explain why, he found himself at a loss for words.Apparently, the materials these four wore were not expensive, but the weaving method was novel, adding a lot of value to the cloth for no reason.
Sure enough, what the master said is correct, don’t be confused by appearances, treat guests with a normal heart, greet guests, and do your best, Xiang Hai thinks so.He has seen many dignitaries who are gorgeously dressed, and he is not uncommon for children from rich families who spend a lot of money. He has never met a few people like this family of four.
Without a domineering attitude, most of the status is not very high.Dressed elegantly without being conspicuous, he moves freely and casually, and he is well-bred at first glance. He doesn't look like a businessman, but more like coming from a wealthy family.He doesn't care much about money, obviously there is no shortage of money in the family.
Xiang Hai was confused, such contradictory temperament gathered on several people, and he couldn't guess the origin of these people at all.Get rid of the inappropriate thoughts in your mind, he is just a waiter in the shop of 'Baiweixuan', as long as he serves the customers well, he doesn't need to care about the rest.
Ji Ningran is really stupid, rose cakes, jujube paste red bean cake... More than half of the table was piled up with the things he ordered.Ji Xuan and his husband didn't care, anyway, they can take away if they can't finish eating.Some dim sum tastes just as good cold, and some don't.If you eat too much good food, you will get tired of it. After a few times at most, Ji Ningran will realize that it is not good to do so. If he wants to encounter the same situation in the future, he will do what he can.
Children are very curious, and only when they realize the problem will they remember it.
Ji Ningran ate his mouth full. After eating too much snacks, he became thirsty, so he sipped a few sips of fruit juice, and kept looking at Ji Xuanhe's creamy snowball with his small eyes.
Ji Xuanhe has never developed and expanded the Ji family business, but relying on Yunji Weaving Workshop alone, he earns a lot of income every year, and his own official position is enough to protect him.
