Chapter 2484

Old Zhou tou lined up in a group of people with a note. The steward of each family came to get the things. Naturally, some officials and family members came to get them in person.

In the past two years, man Bao's salary was received by old Zhou tou himself. Now he doesn't need his grandchildren to show him a note. He knows how much salary and Lumi he can receive every month with his eyes closed. Therefore, he brings someone alone to receive it every time.

Also because he came more often, he met many people here.

These pensioners also have circles. His circle is the family of a group of officials.

This group of people, like him, are fathers, uncles, and brothers.

The common characteristic of these people is that their family assets are not particularly rich, and their official products range from six to four.

Another thing in common is that they are not locals in Beijing.

Because they are not local people in the capital, and because their family wealth is not rich, and the consumption in the capital is too high, they hire fewer servants at home. They come to get their salary in person;

It is also because he has had more contacts with them that Lao Zhou knows that many people will take their brothers and nephews to office after they become officials. This can not only help manage the housework, but also run errands for themselves. It is not safe to leave some things to the servants.

At the same time, it also means cultivating family.

Or how to say, a man can rise to heaven.

Old Zhou tou pulled a car with a servant. He looked at the line and went up to line up.

Everyone consciously lined up in two rows. In one row, there were servants in charge of each family, and in the other row, there were officials like Lao Zhoutou.

As soon as he saw Lao Zhou's head, someone greeted him warmly, "Lao Zhou is coming, come on, come on."

Old Zhou tou asked his servants to line up with mule carts. He came forward and talked with his friends. In fact, he was barely in formation.

"Lord Zhou has two festival gifts?"

"More than that, shouldn't it be three? Lord Zhou still has a title. "

Old Zhou tou smiled and said, "my family man Bao said that the festival rites of the title are listed in the note compiled by Chongwen hall. It can be regarded as two rites on a note. Only those who have a title but no real job make a separate note. "

After hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that old Zhou tou was well-informed.

Old Zhou tou smiled proudly. Although it was not as comfortable as the village, they spoke very well. This is why old Zhou tou always rushed to get his salary.

"What's on your note?"

"Two pieces of cloth and some rice and noodles. It doesn't matter. I mainly heard that the moon cakes given this time were made in the palace. The eldest one, my family got two. At that time, the empress will share them with the children."

Old Zhou tou looked at his note quietly and recognized it hard. He recognized several numbers, but he didn't know moon cakes. By the way, man Bao said last night that how many moon cakes were there in their family?

Lao Zhou thought hard and found that his memory was a little vague, so he was a little worried.

The old man on one side saw the note in Lao Zhou's hand, so he looked at it, and then said, "there are four moon cakes for the township Lord. Eh, why do you have three notes?"

Old Zhou's head suddenly recovered and said with a smile, "this one belongs to my son-in-law. I'll get it together. Come on, show me what's on this note?"

The old man was a little envious and jealous, but he still took it and read it to him, "one fine linen, one coarse cotton, one small bag of rice and noodles, and one moon cake. Eh, your son-in-law doesn't have much."

Old Zhou tou said, "he's only an official. His official position is not high. Look at what's below. He's still a county son. Look at what's below."

The old man choked and unfolded down. Sure enough, he saw two lines of small words written below, "two pieces of fine cotton, two pieces of silk and satin, two bags of rice and noodles, and four moon cakes..."

Old man: envy

People: how envious

Lao Zhou whispered twice and remembered it for the time being. Then he quickly showed the old man his daughter's note and looked at it eagerly.

The old man unfolded and said, "I just read it. You can't remember when I arrive in a moment. The people brought by your family can't read?"

Old Zhou said, "I was so happy when I came out this morning that I forgot to call a literate."

The old man said, "forget it. I'll go behind you and go in with you. I'll take it after you get it."

"Oh, I'm so sorry," old Zhou smiled, his eyes bent, and said to him, "then I'm not polite. Next time I come to get a salary, I'll treat you to beans."

Occasionally, Lao Zhou was greedy. He would ask Xiao Qian to fry some beans for him. Even fried beans are better than others. These friends he knew like them very much.

"How long have you been friendly? What's polite?"

Everyone gossiped with old Zhou, "old Zhou, Lord Zhou and your son-in-law are not young, are they? Are you getting married? "

Old Zhou tou said happily, "I'm just getting married. I've set a date. It's the eighth day of October."

"Good day, congratulations. We'll ask for a wedding wine at that time."

"Happy together," old Zhou smiled, narrowed his eyes and blurted out, "don't say a cup. You can drink as much as you want at that time."

Some honest people listened to the polite words, but others flashed their eyes, held Lao Zhou's head and said with a smile: "then we'll come to the door and complain. By the way, do you want posts to attend the wedding banquet?"

Old Zhou was stunned. He really went.

He doesn't mind, but they have to give gift money at the banquet. They are not very close relatives and friends. How can they rush to give gift money?

But the thought flashed, and Lao Zhou smiled and said, "I'll bring you a salary next time."

The old man who showed Lao Zhou the note didn't speak. When the team moved forward, more people came forward and took things and left, and fewer people surrounded them. Then he took Lao Zhou's head and whispered, "Lao Zhou, are the guests here particular? You must not ask the children at home? "

Old Zhou tou also compared with him. After looking around, he lowered his voice and said, "of course, I have to ask. My daughter-in-law has already said that we haven't read books and don't know much. We can't make our own decisions outside. We have to ask the children."

"Then you should take a bite."

Old Zhou tou said indifferently, "what are you afraid of? When I go back and ask my daughter, please if I can. If not, I won't come to receive my salary next month. Let my Wulang come to receive it. He doesn't know anything."

Old man:... Shameless.

But he didn't say anything. He just looked at Lao Zhou with admiration. "It's my turn. Let's go. Go ahead and get it. I'll show you."

Old Zhou tou was happy. He immediately called his servants to catch up with the car, and then took the old man in.

The people who pay the festival gifts are also the officials who pay salaries. They are precocious to these people. Anyway, it is almost them who come to receive salaries every month. They have to see them once a month. It is difficult to know them or not.

Seeing old Zhou tou, the official also raised a smile. This daughter and son-in-law are popular with his majesty, especially now.
