Chapter 85

Muyun looks at Ji Ge who is busy in the store and can't help laughing.

He comes to the shop to help as soon as he is free. He is half a waiter. From the beginning, he was in a hurry and always made mistakes. Up to now, he is very smooth, which is smoother than the running script he wrote.

She couldn't help laughing:

"Brother, you might as well quit the champion and open a shop with me. You spend more time in my shop than in the government office."

"How much do you want to pay me?" Ji Ge asked with a smile.

Mu Yun thought about it and said with a smile:

"I have such good benefits for my daughter-in-law. It's not cost-effective to give you more money. It's better to give you five Liang silver a month."

Mu Yun's proud look is like how much advantage Ji Ge has taken.

Ji Ge couldn't help laughing, patted Muyun on the shoulder and said:

"Your silver is not enough for me to spend a month."

Mu Yun widened her eyes and said:

"You live alone in the government office. There are special chefs in the government office. You don't have to wash your clothes. What else can you consume? Four of us in the Lin family go to send some food to Lin Lang from time to time. It doesn't cost a silver or two a month."

Jigo shook his head and said with a smile:

"You are ordinary people, and I have to take care of it up and down. The officialdom is not as simple as you think."

Twilight Yun frowned and asked him:

"Do you still need to bribe others?"

Ji Ge lost his smile, reached out and knocked on Mu Yun's head and said:

"This is not a bribe. Since you are an official, your clothes should be much more exquisite. If people in the officialdom see that you are too simple, they will be estranged."

"It's too troublesome for you to pay attention to this in officialdom." Muyun thought and asked, "but those honest officials are not very simple in dress?"

"Have you seen those situations? What you have heard is that they have made efforts on their own surface, or they have been exaggerated, saying that their clothes are the same as those of ordinary people. But ah, they are officials, how can they be compared with ordinary people?"

Mu Yun frowned and said:

"No wonder many honest officials can't afford to cook at home. It turned out that all the money was spent on clothes."

GIGO smiled and didn't correct her.

There are many people in officialdom. There are all kinds of people. There are people who give alms to others when they have money. There are also people like him. Because he is a student of Zuo Xiang, he can't lose his momentum because he is not poor.

Twilight Yun suddenly had a flash of light and asked:

"This town is very small. It's not lively at all. No one opens it, such as blacksmith's shop, study and teahouse."

Before Muyun came over, the TV station remakes Jin Yong gulong's novels every year. The ancient world she sees from those novels is extremely wonderful and lively.

But now when she crossed over, she felt that it was not so wonderful and couldn't help being disappointed.

Jigo saw her expression and said with a smile:

"These things are just common in the capital. If you want to find interesting things, you should go to the painting boat, the treasure house and the book collection place of the temple. These three places are very popular among ordinary scholars in the capital."

"Is the painted boat a more elegant flower building?" Twilight Yun's eyes lit up and couldn't help laughing.

Jigo knocked her on the head and said:

"You little lecheron. It's also important to divide people. If you order the Qing shepherd, when you go to the boat, they will only comment on poetry and enjoy landscape paintings with you; if you want to have fun, naturally someone will go to Wushan with wine and poetry."

"Eh, it seems that your life in Beijing is very rich." Muyun teased.

With a faint smile, Ji Ge didn't answer directly, but said:

"I don't usually go to these places. I just go there once or twice a month at the invitation of my friends. More often, I go to the treasure museum to see those fine things; or I go to the temple to incense and look at the Scriptures in their temple to cultivate my sentiment."

In Muyun's mind, only the Shaolin Temple in Jin Yong's novels and the characters like sweeping monks appear.

She couldn't help laughing:

"Are the monks in that temple very powerful? If someone breaks into the temple, will they be beaten all over the ground looking for teeth?"

Ji Ge looked at Mu Yun in surprise and asked:

"Why do you think so? How can thieves go to the temple to steal? The temple is a holy place. If the temple is frequented by the royal family, there will be royal guards on weekdays. Even if something goes wrong, it will not be the turn of the people in the temple."

Mu Yun couldn't help being disappointed.

Seeing her expression, jigo rubbed her head with a smile and said:

"Why do you say all these strange things, and I don't know what's in your head?"

Then he picked out some anecdotes in Beijing and told Muyun.

"Beijing is really much more lively than here. Beijing will hold activities almost every half month, either appreciating flowers and poetry, or all kinds of competitions. There are a lot of competitions, and they won't stop every month..."

Jigo picked up several lively festivals in Beijing and told them to Muyun.

Mu Yun was amazed and thought: as soon as she came to this world, she wanted to escape. Finally, she was moved by the Lin family and was willing to stay. After struggling for the Lin family for so long, her daily food and clothing expenses have become no problem. She also has some ideas about the development of the store. But now it seems that she is still too short-sighted and limits her whole vision to the town. If you don't go out and see the world outside, you can not only broaden your horizons, but also inspire her more strange ideas.

She suddenly realized that her previous idea of running a shop came from her previous experience. Different situations have different ways to deal with them. If she has been accustomed to those previous experiences, she will certainly be out of tune with this era.

It may not be very obvious now. If she doesn't improve all the time, there will be big mistakes in the later stage.

Mu Yun has the idea to solve this problem, and Ji Ge happens to have an opportunity.

This is the case with bureaucracies. It was the autumn of the previous year that Ji Ge won the first prize, but he had to wait a year to go to Beijing to report on his work.

He is in a good condition. With the support of Zuo Xiang, he is lucky to go to Beijing to report on his work within a year. If he doesn't have any famous teachers behind him, it will take longer.

Today, Ji Ge thinks about what he discussed with Mu Yun a few days ago, so he goes to the store to ask Mu Yun;

"I'm going to report on my work in Beijing in a few days. Do you want to travel with me? Although it may not be comfortable along the way, the customs along the way must be different from those in the town. It can be regarded as letting you know more about the real Jianghu than the nonsense stories in the story books."

Mu Yun ignores the last sentence and Ji Ge's ridicule.

Her eyes brightened and she asked:

"How long will it take on the road?"

"Beijing is not far from here. If we take a carriage instead of walking, it will take about a month."

Before crossing, it was only four or five days from the northwest to the southeast of the great heavenly Dynasty. Muyun had long been used to such fast transportation. And now it takes a month! It's just the distance from the town to Beijing. She can't help feeling that her lazy meat has awakened and doesn't want to go out.

Invisible house · Muyun makes excuses for herself: many things may happen in this month. If there is any emergency in the light store, she can't reach out to solve it; Huang's mind is pure and good. She really doesn't trust Huang to stay at home alone.

After all, it's not the first time Huang has been fooled around.

Ji Ge also understood Mu Yun's concern and said:

"This matter will benefit you a lot. Go back and discuss with Lin Jinyan and then with Huang Shi. I believe they will fully support you after they know. I won't leave town for a few days. I'll come and tell you before I leave. You'll tell me whether you want to go to Beijing."

Mu Yun thanked Ji Ge for his consideration and hurriedly said yes.

In the afternoon, Lin Jinyan waited for Muyun to close the store.

Mu Yun looks at Lin Jinyan's face, but she doesn't know how to speak.

That night, when they talked about the past, she heard that Lin Jinyan was still a little uneasy and worried that she would leave.

Will opening up at this time cause greater misunderstanding?

After thinking about it, Muyun didn't think of a good way to speak. Instead, she thought of a bunch of excuses to persuade Lin Jinyan.

Lin Jinyan, who is driving a carriage, has realized that Muyun is wrong. She will always be around her. Although they are usually Chen Mo, from time to time, Muyun will tell some jokes and listen to him. At this time, there is never such a deliberate separation between them in two spaces.

At home.

Lin Jinyan stops Muyun and asks:

"You have something in mind today. Why don't you tell me?"

Twilight Yun knows that his state can't hide from Lin Jinyan, but he didn't expect him to ask directly so soon.

Since their relationship became closer, Lin Jinyan seemed to be more direct to her. She also knows that most of the problems between husband and wife are caused by insufficient communication and the accumulation of misunderstandings.

So she looked at Lin Jinyan and said:

"Today, my brother told me that he was going to Beijing to report on his work and asked me if I wanted to go there together. Although there was a month's appointment on the way, there must be all kinds of customs along the way for me to understand. The way will not be boring and can let me know. But the way is too far away. I'm worried about problems in the store and my mother's soft temperament. Even if you stay …”

Lin Jinyan shook his head to interrupt Muyun's worry and said:

"When you told me about this, you first said the benefits of this trip, and then you said your concerns. In this way, you must be more inclined to go. If you want to go, I must follow you."

Mu Yun listened to him and hurriedly wanted to explain.

At this time, Huang's voice came in.

"This is a good thing. Mr. Ji is the number one scholar in the dynasty. You can certainly benefit from getting along with him. Moreover, young people, you should go out more and see different things. You are both intelligent people. You are confined to this small town. I'm ashamed to die when I'm an old man!"

She had prepared the meal and was about to bring it out. When she heard Lin Jinyan talking to Muyun, she looked a little excited and thought they were arguing. She couldn't help but come forward and listen. After knowing what Muyun thought, she wanted to encourage her.

But as she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Mu Yun hurried over, grabbed her shoulder, patted her back and said:

"Mom, don't say such words. Naturally, we take you first. We want to go out to see something, but also for the Lin family to become better. But if something happens to you after we go out, won't all our efforts be in vain?"

Huang Shi listened to her and looked at her with sincere eyes. There was no intention to deceive her. Her eyes were redder and tears swirled in her eyes.

She said:

"There's already a lot of money in the house. Don't worry. You can hire another person to look at me. If you don't worry, you can hire more and fill the whole yard! Just don't let me become an obstacle to your progress!"

Huang Shi said, tears streaming down.

Muyun reached out to wipe her tears and said:

"Well, mother, I know what you mean. Don't cry. Your tears seem very unfilial."

Lin Jinyan pulled them to the table, sat down himself, picked up chopsticks and said:

"After standing in the yard and talking so much, I'm almost hungry. Eat first and then finish eating."

Muyun is grateful to Lin Jinyan for interrupting them. He takes Huang to the table and talks about today's interesting things while eating.
