[Red Mansion] I want to be the chief assistant

The guards of the Lin family patrolled in groups of three, four groups and one team, a total of two teams.Zhang Zhong and Huang Shi, a principal and a deputy, are not in this sequence, but they usually patrol with the ten-day cadres, and they are in a group with the celestial stems A, making up the number of three people.

"Brother Zhang is back?" After the routine inspection, A patted the frost stained on his body, and asked Huangshi, who was also patted on the jacket.

Carefully patted the two-month-old jacket clean with an iron-clad wooden stick, then inserted the stick back into his waist, Huang Shifang said: "It's not like I'm back."

They have two sets of new clothes every season, one is regular clothes and the other is special guard clothes when they work as guards in Lin's house. The guard clothes are usually left in Lin's house and changed when they go to work.In principle, guard uniforms are not allowed to be taken out, and a special person is responsible for washing them.If the guards did not work at the Lin family that day, then all the clothes given out over the years could be taken away, but all the logos embroidered on the guard clothes had to be removed.

Although these guards, most of whom were born in poverty, have gotten used to new clothes and trousers in the Lin family these years, who would not cherish them?Such a person would not be able to come to the Lin family.

"Just wait for the captain to invite the big guy to the bar!" Huang Shi laughed, but he had something in his stomach but kept it well hidden, otherwise he would not have gained Lin Yu's trust.

After hearing this, A couldn't help getting excited, rubbing his hands and entering the room, he said cheerfully, "I must have got a big fat boy!"

Huang Shi picked up the sling, A saw this, hurried up to take it, took out Huang Shi and his own teacup from the table, and poured out two large cups of hot tea.

Huang Shi took his teacup and said with a smile: "That will have to wait for him to tell you in person."

There were two groups of people patrolling the garden outside, and it would take half an hour for their turn, so Huang Shi and A, a half-grown boy, sat in the room peacefully drinking tea and talking.The reason why A is A is not because of anything else, but because he is the youngest.Today is only nineteen, and the family is trying to find a wife for him.During this period of time, he couldn't stop being excited when he heard topics such as daughter-in-law and childbirth.

Huang Shi was just asking him how the preparations were going at home, when he suddenly heard Zhang Zhong's hearty voice from outside, as if he had brought something back.

The two looked at each other, put down their teacups and got up, and were about to open the door when they saw Zhang Zhong push the door open with one hand and enter the room, followed by several familiar women carrying many bulging bundles.

"This is?" Huang Shi knew without counting the days that it was time to send out the New Year's goods, he couldn't help asking in wonder, "The days are wrong!"

"It's not a new year's product." The leading woman was wearing a blue-gray coat, her black hair was neatly brushed back and tied tightly behind her head.A rare smile appeared on her rigid face, and she said, "In two days, my uncle will be relieved of his filial piety. This is a reward for everyone, and everyone will be happy."

While directing the people to put down all the burdens, he explained one by one: "The newly made clothes are here, and there are silver taels, you go to the cashier to get them."

"Mother Qian, how much can I get this time?" A was an extrovert, and immediately stuck to it and asked, but Zhang Zhong grabbed him by the collar.He smiled at Mrs. Qian and said, "Mama, please take this trip, how about a cup of tea?"

Mrs. Qian shook her head, looking at A with gentle eyes, she refused: "That's unnecessary, and I have to pay the reward money from the inner courtyard, and let them move in!" She left like a gust of wind. .

Zhang Zhong patted A on the shoulder and said, "Come on, go with elder brother to the cash register and get the money for the brothers."

A scratched his head and responded, "Hey, good." He asked Huangshi if he could go.

Huang Shi patted the bundle on the table, and said, "Go ahead, I'll send it to the brothers who are idle first. I'm afraid those boys are waiting to worry about the movement of Mrs. Qian just now." Scratch your liver."

Lin Yu's elimination of filial piety was not a big deal for him, but for the servants below, it was an extra generous reward, and everyone was as happy as celebrating the New Year ahead of schedule.

Bai Shu was standing at the door of the embroidery room with a smile on her face, watching them making a fuss happily, just for a few good-looking noodles, listening to the crisp and happy laughter of the girls made one's mood involuntarily brightened.

When the daughter-in-law in charge saw her, she was about to stop the girls who were so happy that they were out of order, but she saw Bai Shu shook his head at her with a smile, and motioned for her to come out and speak.She hurried out and closed the door quietly.

"Don't bother them, it's a happy event." Bai Shu walked away a little, lest the people inside would see the reflection on the door, and said, "If the noodles are less, just go to the big kitchen and tell them. Say what I say, let’s do more. It’s good for everyone to take some home to pamper the children and worship the ancestors!”

"Miss is kind, just don't worry about it." The daughter-in-law shook her hand hurriedly and said with a smile, "The master's family has always been generous. Their eyesight is so shallow that they lack this little thing. They just want to grab it for fun."

Bai Shu laughed when he heard that, and said: "That's very true." Then he asked, "Your uncle has all the clothes you need except for your filial piety?"

The daughter-in-law in charge hurriedly replied: "It's all done, but the big clothes worn when worshiping the ancestors are still missing some embroidery patterns."

"I can't be in a hurry." Bai Shu nodded, and said, "You guys need to worry more, after all, it's the first time for the uncle to offer sacrifices to the ancestors, and it can't be too solemn."

"Understood, how about I send you the few sets of clothes I have already got?"

"You don't need to give it away, just leave it to me." The daughter-in-law in charge responded quickly, and took out a month-long white silk package with light patterns from the locked room on one side, and handed it to Bai Shu.

Bai Shu held it in his hand, inspected it briefly, nodded in satisfaction, turned around and left.She was very busy, and this is already a rare leisure.

The daughter-in-law in charge saw Bai Shu walking away, she praised and envied her again, then turned and went back to her room.In the end, I didn't let the big and small girls in the room make more trouble, and they broke up after saying a few words.

Not long after, people from the big kitchen came, and what they were holding in their hands were all kinds of lifelike, naive and cute noodle fruits that a group of big girls had just grabbed for joy.

The whole house was full of joy today, but Lin Yu was frowning with the county annals and the pen and ink left by Lin's father and grandfather in the early years.

He only knew that the country name of this dynasty was Jing, and the previous dynasty was Ming Dynasty. In his memory, Father Lin had always been wearing a broad robe, wide sleeves and a crown, and he thought that this world was different from the history of his previous life. But the origin of the royal family in this dynasty is inseparable from it.

The seat of the Central Plains Dynasty in this world is still a foreign race.

From the limited information, Lin Yu discovered where the turning point of history appeared, and the □□ Hachi, also known as wild boar skin, disappeared in history.Xu Shi died at an early age, but now it is unknown.However, the Jianzhou Jurchen, which was supposed to rise under his leadership, was defeated in the conflict with the Haixi Jurchen and was annexed by the Haixi Jurchen.After that, the establishment of the Houjin Dynasty and the re-entry to replace the Ming Dynasty, Lin Yu patiently read this passage, and there was no major conflict with the history in his memory.

Lin Yu is familiar with the royal surnames in this world, and no Chinese would be unfamiliar with them.

Yehenala's.

That was the surname of a woman who once ruled the last Qing Dynasty, and that woman was the Empress Dowager Cixi, no one would not know it, right?

Lin Yu closed the scroll with a sneer, and thought to himself, what is this, a weird joke of history?

In this life, there was no strategy of shaving his hair and making clothes easier, so he lost his vigilance and thought it was another Han Dynasty.It's no wonder that the information he can accept is really too little. He has kept his mourning for more than three years, but he was not suffocated to death. That's because he was used to staying at home in his previous life.There are enough books in the portable territory, and I can't read them all in my whole life, so I have been peacefully nesting for such a long time.

Lin Yu stood up staggeringly, put the messed up books back to their original place, thought for a while, his grandfather had been a magistrate in this life, so there should be a residence report.He looked left and right, and got into the pile of books because of his urination. The old housekeeper Lin who knocked on the door saw his uncle who was like a fairy child, and made himself look ashamed, and asked dumbfoundedly: "You What are you looking for, can this old slave get it for you?"

Perhaps it was rare to see such a lively appearance of Lin Yu, the old housekeeper couldn't help coaxing the child.

Lin Yu didn't mind either. He crawled out of the pile of old papers, patted the dust on his body casually, and let it go when he couldn't take pictures. When the old butler Lin saw it, he secretly made a note that clean clothes should be delivered from inside later. , I heard Lin Yu ask.

"Earlier, my grandfather was a magistrate of the prefecture. Did the Di Bao still exist at that time?"

Old housekeeper Lin was taken aback, and immediately replied: "Master Xian put it away, it's not in this pile." He asked again, "Do you want to read the mansion newspaper? This old slave will order someone to buy it."

No wonder the grandfather's book collection can't be found here, Lin Yu secretly thought, and at this time he heard the old housekeeper say to buy it, and asked in surprise, "Can I buy the mansion newspaper?"

I am used to seeing his uncle planning strategies and calmly, this is the first time that the old butler Lin saw him surprised, and he couldn't help laughing: "I don't know, although the residence newspaper was transcribed and published by the Secretary of General Administration, but The imperial court didn’t need to rush the delivery, it was a bit slower. So some merchants started this business, and the officials wanted to save trouble, so many of them went to buy it. Our Lin family has generations of scholars, so naturally we can also buy it.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu said, "The mansion newspaper published by the government must not require money from the officials, right?"

Old Butler Lin nodded and said, "Exactly."

Businessmen who want to go to the Secretary of General Administration to copy the residence newspaper need to pay some favors.In this way, the top and bottom officials in the General Administration Department have an extra tacit gray income, the court saves a lot of printing expenses, officials from all over the country can get the news of the capital faster, and the merchants earn money, and no one is dissatisfied of.People other than officials bought the mansion newspaper, and the higher-ups just turned a blind eye, and there was no particularly important news anyway.

After thinking about it, he figured out the joints inside. Lin Yu laughed secretly at himself for being negligent before, ignoring that business has inherited the development of the Ming Dynasty.He simply ordered the old butler Lin to buy all the mansion newspapers that had been cut off and not bought before, and he wanted to read them after finishing them.

Old housekeeper Lin remembered it, and only then did he talk about what he wanted to report: "My uncle sent someone to say that Mrs. Zhang has been talking about you a lot these days, and I want to invite you to stay for a while."

After hearing this, Lin Yu said without thinking: "Let's just say that I will go out on the fifth day of the filial piety, and I will go on the sixth day. Thank you, old lady, for your concern." Seeing that old butler Lin answered, he was about to turn around and go out to give instructions, remembering that when Zhang Zhong had just returned, He yelled again, "Stand a little longer."

Old Butler Lin turned around and asked, "Do you have any other orders?"

"Forget it, you just send someone back, just tell me what I said, please come over to the house, uncle, I have something to say."
