The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 282

This sentence also makes sense, because Fang Qingqing helped Mrs. Jin's granddaughter-in-law prescribe medicine to recuperate her body, and as a result, the granddaughter-in-law of the Jin family finally became pregnant smoothly.

Mrs. Jin was very grateful to Dr. Fang, so she often came to chat with Mrs. Shi, and would tell their family members some of her experiences of living in the capital for many years.

Needless to say, because of this, the Li family knew many hidden tricks, not to mention saving money and avoiding many troubles and risks.

For example, there is a family deep in an alley, and the owner of that house is amazing.

It is said that he served in the palace back then. Once when he was drunk, the old man even boasted that he had cooked imperial meals for the late emperor.

Few of them believed it. If they really had any ability, they would not live in such an ordinary family's house even if they left the palace for the elderly because they were old.

It doesn't matter, but the old man's culinary skills are really nothing to say, the most important skill is making pastries.

That was done, and it was delicious.

Thanks to Mrs. Jin's recommendation, Shi's Fang Qingqing's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law knew that there was such an old man, and successfully ate his cakes.

From then on, Fang Qingqing really fell in love with this pea yellow.

But now, after just one sip, Fang Qingqing knew it.

The pea yellow that Li Xiuping brought back should have been bought at that high-end store, and the price was definitely not the thirty cents he told his parents.

Fang Qingqing took a big bite with a smile, brother Sanlang is indeed a flexible mind, as a filial old man should be.

If my parents-in-law knew the actual price of this snack, I'm afraid they would panic all night after eating it.

In fact, the situation of Lao Li's family is much better than before.

Of course, you can't afford a box of snacks like this for two taels of silver, but you can't eat them often.

Indeed, Saburo was not only promoted, not only the official residence, but also the monthly silver and Lumi rose accordingly.

Before, it was because he was busy with Saburo's marriage, but now he is finally free.

Thinking back suddenly, Shi realized that she might have forgotten the most important thing.

"Sanlang, you are promoted now, and the official position has been promoted to one rank. Has the Lumi Yueyin increased?"

In fact, there are two levels from the six-rank Hanlin Academy to the fifth-rank bachelor. This mother must not understand clearly, and Li Xiuping also feels that there is no need to explain it in such detail.

Just tell her: "In the past, you could receive eight shimi a month, but now you should receive [-] shimi, and the monthly silver has also increased a lot."

The Shi family doesn't care how much taels of silver, anyway, the taels of silver must be accumulated, and they will be used for buying a house.

But this rice, Shi Shi knows, there are a lot of fourteen stone rice.

She was so happy now, she couldn't help grinning: "That's great, that's great."

Li Xiuping also wanted to laugh.

Although he can't hide his sorrow in front of his wife, his positive heart has never changed.

Just as Shi was concerned about his salary, in fact Li Xiuping also actively inquired about it.

When he reached the official position of the fifth rank, not only did Lumi Yueyin increase, but the most important thing was that he could ask for orders for his family.

For example, his father, mother and daughter-in-law can afford a fifth-rank Fengzheng doctor, and fifth- and sixth-rank Yiren Anren.

Of course, not every family member of an official who has been promoted from the fifth rank will have a conferment. Many people have recorded it in the Ministry of Rites and waited in line for the opportunity.

Either there is grace or meritorious service, the emperor will remember to reward the meritorious officials.

In this way, Li Xiuping's rare feeling of shrinking back was completely gone.

When he became an official, he hoped to earn a royal title for his parents and daughter-in-law.

It was rare for everyone to sit around so happily, and Li Xiuping took the opportunity to propose: "My salary has increased now, mother, do you think I should hire a poor woman at home? In this way, both mother and Qingqing can have a little leisure time."

In fact, it was mainly for Fang Qingqing, but not for her to stop doing housework.

In fact, Fang Qingqing seldom does any work at home now. Occasionally, when she is not busy, she comes to the kitchen to cook something delicious for her family.

It is also right to relax and pass the time.

All the work at home is done by the mother and the younger sister. Of course, now that the eldest sister is here, she has also helped a lot.

But the younger sister will go back to get married, and all the work at home will fall on the mother's shoulders. Gradually, the mother will definitely not like Qingqing as much as she does now.

Besides, people outside will also say some ugly words.

In order to prevent these changes from happening, Li Xiuping thought so much in advance.

"Help someone? That will cost a lot of money, right?"

That's not true, manpower is the least valuable thing these days, just like old man Li once brought Da Lang Erlang to the county town to work as a part-time job.

Under normal circumstances, you can get [-] to [-] Wen a day, not including the meal money.

Since he said such a thing, Li Xiuping must have inquired about the market here in the capital, and he didn't want to hire a maid to do meticulous work.

It doesn't cost much a month just to hire a helper to make a woman.

These words did not convince his parents and daughter-in-law.

Especially Fang Qingqing, she counted with Li Xiuping with her fingers: "That's not how it is calculated, yes, it doesn't cost much to hire a woman.

But wouldn't it be nice to have that money saved up? If the family wants to buy a bigger house in the future, it will cost a lot of money. "

Also, the current food shop is rented, if you can buy a suitable restaurant, Fang Qingqing is not the only one.

Li Dalang and Li's sister-in-law all hope to buy one.

Even if it's just recorded in the public record, it's still the property of their Li family, and it's definitely better than giving away the money for nothing in the current rented restaurant.

Shi Shi wants to say more: "You stinky brat, you just let your hands loose, if you live like you, our family will have to drink northwest wind in the future.

Here it seems that it costs a few dollars, but there also thinks that spending a few dollars is nothing, but what if a few people spend all the money and then they really need money?
Third child, I know you love me, your father and your wife.

But in fact, we sit here every day with nothing to do, and we feel very panicked. No matter how busy this yard is, how hard can it be to farm in the countryside? "

It was Sister Li who heard it from the side, and said: "We didn't come to the capital to eat, don't worry, I will do some housework in the future so that my mother won't be tired."

Li Xiuping nodded, but said to Geng Dazhuang and his wife again: "Big sister and brother-in-law, after you came, you helped a lot inside and outside the house, which made my brother feel ashamed."

Listening to this, in fact, it was Geng Dazhuang who really felt ashamed.

Originally, the couple had the audacity to follow Li Erlang to Beijing because they couldn't make it through, and they were very uneasy along the way.

After all, father, mother and younger brother belong to the same family, but the younger brother has already married a daughter-in-law, and that will be the closest to him in the future.
