Scholar and old attack

Bidding farewell to other officials, Jiang Jingyuan took his three cuties and walked along the Beijie Avenue in Kyoto with a smile on his face. Watching Xu Shuizhou being turned into a puffer fish made him happy.

"Jiang Jingyuan, you bastard!"

He was so angry that he called his real name.

Jiang Jingyuan rubbed his nose and rolled his waist. It's only natural for him to work with a certificate.

Trying to change the subject, "You haven't told me any good news yet."

"Jiang Jingyuan, let me tell you something serious. Do you know how embarrassing you are for me in front of your colleagues today?" When Xu Shuizhou thought of Yuan Changjian's sinister face, he wished he could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

After a long time, it turned out that he was annoyed by this matter, "It's okay, he is just an old straight man, he won't take it to heart."

Jiang Jingyuan explained, and took two quick steps with the child in his arms, following Xu Shuizhou's pace, "Besides, it's not very good to be in love with a husband and wife, so as to save those old guys from trying to give me their daughters and let them see my husband." They are so delicate, let them be ashamed of themselves."

Xu Shuizhou knew that Jiang Jingyuan was not lying. He has established a firm foothold in the court, and he is good at making money. He is still young, and he is the existence that many officials want to curry favor with. strengthen the relationship between them.

But Jiang Jingyuan has always dismissed this matter, let alone a concubine, there is not even a room in the house, Xu Shuizhou knows that Jiang Jingyuan is doing it for him.

It's just that he was touched on the waist in front of his colleagues. Logically speaking, he should be happy, but Xu Shuizhou didn't know what was wrong with him, and suddenly he was very angry.

Reassured by Jiang Jingyuan, he felt that he was being stingy again. He wanted to reconcile but couldn't hold back his face, so he could only walk forward in annoyance.

Jiang Jingyuan looked helplessly at the children in his hands, whether it was time for them to make a move.

Mo Moqiqi was looking at all kinds of things on the street with interest, and suddenly he was stared at by his father, and felt a sense of fear for no reason.

"Woooooooo..."

They knew that whenever their father wanted to teach them a lesson, their father's expression and eyes would be the same as they are now, and someone would come and take them away from their father whenever they cried.

Jiang Jingyuan watched the two children cry. Although he didn't shed any tears, the sound reached Xu Shuizhou's ears, and he smiled with satisfaction.

Very good, raise a baby for a thousand days, use a baby for a day!

Before Jiang Jingyuan could count to three in his heart, Xu Shuizhou hurried over when he heard the cry of the child, took the child in Jiang Jingyuan's arms, and asked eagerly,

"What's the matter, peeing or pulling."

Xu Shuizhou lifted the two children's buttocks to see that they were clean, and then checked other places, and found that there were no injuries or fever, so he was relieved.

"Why are you crying so well?" Xu Shuizhou looked at the crying children, then stared fiercely at Jiang Jingyuan, "Tell me if you made them cry."

Jiang Jingyuan smiled wryly, one ups and downs after another, he is asking for trouble.

Seeing Jiang Jingyuan's expression, Xu Shuizhou knew that he was the one who made the two children cry. Holding the child in both hands, he couldn't move his hands, so he put his foot down, "Jiang Jingyuan, you are not a child anymore, do you have a childish father like you!"

Jiang Jingyuan was kicked twice, it didn't hurt or itch, knowing that Xu Shuizhou was angry, he still gave him some sympathy, and said with a smile, "If hitting me can make you vent your anger, you can hit me a few more times."

"Jiang Jingyuan, don't think that I dare not beat you up." Xu Shuizhou was laughed at by Jiang Jingyuan, and greeted Jiang Jingyuan vigorously with the child in his arms.

Seeing their father being beaten, the two crying children clapped their hands happily, "Beat, beat, be good."

"Hey, stinky brat, stinky girl, you've raised her for nothing."

Jiang Jingyuan was directly confused by the reaction of the two children.

Seeing Jiang Jingyuan angry, the two children turned their faces away, and pointed their round heads at Jiang Jingyuan, expressing that they didn't want to talk to him.

"The child I gave birth to is naturally toward me." Xu Shuizhou patted the backs of the two children with satisfaction, and looked at Jiang Jingyuan proudly.

Jiang Jingyuan felt a little pitiful, "With the two mothers, I am alone and helpless at home, hey."

As he spoke, Jiang Jingyuan looked up at the sky with a sad expression on his face.

Xu Shuizhou suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, stopped the movement of his feet, and blurted out, "You still have me, I am facing you."

After finishing speaking, he regretted it, hurriedly pursed his mouth into a straight line, and castigated infinitely why he was so spineless, it was obviously Jiang Jingyuan's deceit every time, but every time he was able to jump into the pit.

"Calm down, I finally came out to get some air, look at the people on the street looking at you and me, why don't I take you for a stroll." Seeing that Xu Shuizhou was silent, Jiang Jingyuan stepped forward to pick up a child at random to share the burden for Xu Shuizhou weight.

Xu Shuizhou looked at the people around him, his face turned red, and his tone softened, "Where are you going?"

"What do you want to buy, I'll accompany you." Jiang Jingyuan thought for a while, he had been in the capital for a year, and he didn't go shopping with Xu Shuizhou properly, so he felt quite guilty.

"Daddy, Huahuahua." Qiqi accidentally saw a flower seller on the side of the road, and unconsciously called Huahua.

Jiang Jingyuan misunderstood her, pinched her little face, and said with a smile, "You know how to spend money at such a young age, how can Father support you if you don't earn more."

The words were spoken to Qiqi, but the person looked at Xu Shuizhou.

Xu Shuizhou was amused by Jiang Jingyuan, and followed his daughter's gaze, eyebrows and eyes curved, "She didn't talk about spending money, she wanted the flowers."

"Besides, your salary is dead. If it is really used to subsidize the family, I am really... afraid that the whole family will starve to death." Xu Shuizhou couldn't help laughing.

Jiang Jingyuan’s salary was 61 shi for one month, and a shi of rice was about 120 catties. Calculated according to the price of rice in the capital of ten Wen, it was only 73 taels and two hundred Wen in a month.

That is to say, their family has a simple population, and if this salary is to be placed in the home of other maids and servants, they will really starve to death.

When the salary was mentioned, Jiang Jingyuan's face also darkened. To be honest, more than 70 taels is already a huge sum of money in the eyes of ordinary families, but it is really not enough for them.

Any piece of clothing is more than this price.

It's no wonder that everyone in the Ming Dynasty was greedy, and there was no way out if they weren't greedy.

"My salary has risen." Jiang Jingyuan's face became dark, not because his salary was too low, but because he found that he was not earning as much as Xu Shuizhou...

The smile on Xu Shuizhou's face grew stronger, "How much has it increased."

"Fifty percent..." Jiang Jingyuan felt that he had no confidence in speaking.

"That's right, Mr. Jiang, with more than 100 taels a month, it's not a problem to support the family." Xu Shuizhou was about to suffer from internal injuries.

Jiang Jingyuan blushed, "At the end of the year, there will still be a share. This year, the Ministry of Household Affairs has invested in a lot of projects and made a lot of profits. It should be able to raise the salary to 1000 taels a month."

In fact, this is still Jiang Jingyuan's conservative estimate. Before the specific figures are revealed, he dare not make rash comments. He is afraid that some officials will be disappointed if they hear the wind is rain.

"It's not bad, Mr. Jiang." Xu Shuizhou stood on the steps with the child in his arms, smiling like a flower, forgetting the troubles just now, and looked down at the child in his arms, "Father has earned money, let's go kill it." Big family."

Xu Shuizhou took Jiang Jingyuan to wander around, and bought everything he saw that was beautiful and wanted to buy, regardless of whether it was needed by the family or not.

Not to mention spending money so recklessly, it's really cool.

Jiang Jingyuan also let Xu Shuizhou go, as long as he is happy, the money is something outside of him, and he can earn it when it is gone.

They didn't give up until they could no longer hold anything in their hands.

"By the way, what I want to tell you is, do you still remember the carpenter Chen who made the Longevity card for you?" Xu Shuizhou was in a better mood before he confided the matter.

Jiang Jingyuan, "..." It's true that there is no pot to open and no pot to lift.

"Our People's Daily in Kyoto also reported on this matter. Guess what, it actually made Carpenter Chen 'popular' again. Many businessmen saw the business opportunities, holding a lot of money, and wanted our newspapers to publish an article similar to Chen's. Reporting like a carpenter, I figured it out, if it can be done, our newspaper will be able to officially make a profit.”

Xu Shuizhou talked endlessly, if Jiang Jingyuan entrusted him with such an important matter as the newspaper, he would definitely protect Jiang Jingyuan.

In the early days, newspapers and periodicals relied on the Xu family to make everyone in the capital familiar, but this was far from enough, they had to make a profit, but the money for selling newspapers was almost directly proportional to the money for printing, and the profits were negligible.

That's why he happily ran to Jiang Jingyuan, but because of a trivial matter, he was a little embarrassed.

"Well, it's up to you to decide, I trust your judgment." Jiang Jingyuan saw Xu Shuizhou as happy as a child, and was also happy for him, without saying anything to spoil the fun.

"A Yuan, am I great?" Xu Shuizhou couldn't be more happy, "When the official profit is made, I will double the rewards for everyone in our newspaper, and then recruit people, and strive to do what you said and open the newspaper. To the north and south of the river."

Hearing Xu Shuizhou's bold words and ambitions, Jiang Jingyuan waved his hand to summon a guard to come up, and handed over both of their belongings to him to reduce the burden.

He smiled again, "Don't worry, don't tire you out."

The two children had fallen asleep as early as when they were shopping, and now they were lying on each other's shoulders, sleeping soundly.

"No, I keep track of time every day. I should sleep and play, so I won't be tired." Xu Shuizhou shook his head. Actually, after careful calculation, he has more time than Jiang Jingyuan.

----

Every day after work, Jiang Jingyuan will fulfill his promise to help Xu Shuizhou wash clothes, and today is no exception.

Fetching water in the yard, soaking my fingers in the cold water basin, rubbing the clothes slowly, while thinking about the production principle of the washing machine in my mind, I don't think it is cumbersome.

"Master Xu, many businessmen have come to the newspaper..."

While Jiang Jingyuan was thinking, someone rushed in from the outside. The housekeeper told him that Xu Shuizhou was in the yard, so he came to the yard.

However, he stopped talking halfway through.

The Lord Shangshu who has always been as high as a banished fairy in his heart is actually sitting in the courtyard, washing clothes skillfully!

Look at that appearance, it's not like the first time!

I was stunned for a moment, choked and speechless.

Jiang Jingyuan frowned. It was Chen Yiming with the scar on his face who came here. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have flirted with Ah Zhou...

"Have you finished washing the clothes? The child just urinated, so wash the diapers again." Xu Shuizhou came out with two diapers in his arms, without raising his head, he threw the diapers in his hands into the empty wooden basin behind Jiang Jingyuan.

Chen Yiming, "..." He must be blind!
