The next day.
Hubu Shangshu changed into casual clothes and arrived at Xike Bistro.
In the middle of the afternoon, when the business in the tavern was booming, the lobby on the first floor was extremely noisy and lively.
Chun Bao stood behind the counter with his chin resting on his shoulders, and said to Lu Jia in a low voice, "Miss, he's a little restless. He's been looking at the door? Are you going?"
Lu Jia shook his head, "Wait a little longer, use up his temper and let him make up his mind again. I will go over when his back is wet with sweat."
The Hubu Shangshu, who was hit by a huge amount of 50 taels of silver bills from the masked girl, couldn't sleep all night.
What made it even more difficult for him to sleep was that when he returned to the mansion yesterday, he found a neat stack of 10 taels of silver bills on the desk in the study.
The masked woman said that she gave him 10 taels of silver to express her sincerity.
The bank note appeared quietly like this.
One million taels!
No matter whether he used it to buy snow lotus for his daughter or not, the banknotes were genuine banknotes. How many years would he have to work to earn 60 taels.
Nowadays, there are too many corrupt officials and the people are too poor, so it is getting harder and harder to get money.
More monks and less porridge.
Hey ~
Why isn't the masked girl here yet?
There are so many people here, he won't be discovered, right?
Who is she going to appoint?
Just when Hubu Shangshu was restless, Lu Jia smiled and sat opposite him.
Hubu Shangshu was taken aback.
Lu Jia went straight to the point, "A young lady told me that Master Shang Shu wanted to introduce me to be on duty in the household department? Is it true?"
Lu Jia asked innocently.
Tobu Shangshu was shocked.
He naturally knew the identity of Lu Jia, the third young lady of the Lu family in Yuhang, the natal sister of Lu Wei, Xiao Yi's wife in the Marquis of Rong'an, and the owner of this tavern.
is her?
She was the designated person that the masked woman mentioned yesterday?
Hubu Shangshu looked at Lu Jia suspiciously, "What's your relationship with that person?"
Lu Jia said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it's just that the old man at home saw the destruction of the Pingwei army, and he couldn't help but feel sad. He wanted to give himself an extra layer of protection."
"Governor Lu?"
The Lu family of Yuhang, Lu Jia's father, is the current governor of Yuhang and holds military power.
So, that masked girl belonged to Lu Jia's father?
The 60 taels of silver note was given to him by Governor Lu?
That's right, otherwise, who would have given out 60 taels so easily!
Who can appoint the concubine of Governor Lu's family!
No wonder the masked woman had such a strong aura yesterday, she turned out to be from the army.
Lu Jia raised his index finger to his mouth, "Shh."
Hubu Shangshu paused and asked with a smile, "Is your father still in good health?"
Lu Jia looked at his expression and smiled, "It's okay, barely, thank you for your concern, so... can I really be an official in the household department? Women can also be officials?"
The Minister of the Household Department said: "Well, this year, the recruitment of female officials has indeed been opened, but it needs to be assessed."
Lu Jia leaned back, the innocence just faded away, and now his face was cynical, "Assessment? Is 60 taels not enough for the assessment?"
Hubu Shangshu's eyelids twitched.
Lu Jia said: "The money is not in place? Master Shangshu has a big appetite. If you feel that the money is not in place, we don't need to talk about it. I heard that the inner secretary didn't say 60 taels, but 5 taels can be settled. I will enter the palace." It's not impossible."
Hubu Shangshu wanted to take Joe.
But he didn't expect Lu Jia to speak so directly, and his expression turned ugly.
Lu Jia gave him a hard time, and softly handed out a step.
"My lord, it's not like I'm going in to be a high-ranking official. You're so embarrassed, but just let me hang up any idle job, sorting out the paperwork or sorting out the old files accumulated by the household department. It's all right, you can accommodate me.
If you give me an important position, don't say you don't worry about it. I also know how much I am. If I fail to handle the errands well, I will implicate you and the old man at home, and cause trouble for everyone.
Therefore, we don't want any important positions, but idle positions, the less conspicuous the better.
My lord, think of a way. "
Lu Jia's begging was well done.
The ugly face of Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance gradually eased, and the worry that he thought he was about to lose the huge sum of 60 taels of silver notes and the depression disappeared immediately, "It's easy to talk about idle positions."
Lu Jia immediately rolled his eyes with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pour a glass of wine for the Minister of the Household Department, "Thank you, Sir, it is very kind of you, in the future, you will come to my tavern for free, but there is one more thing to ask your Excellency."
"What?" Hubu Shangshu drank Lu Jiazhen's cup of wine very usefully.
Lu Jia laughed and said, "It's because I went to the household department to work, and the family kept it from Rong Anhou's mansion, so."
The Minister of the Household Department frowned, "I'm afraid we can't hide this, as you know, the son of the Marquis of Rong'an is now the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is now investigating the bombing case, targeting our Ministry of Household Affairs, and the investigation is very tight.
Moreover, there are many people in the yamen, since you have been hired as a female official, you must be in office every day, and you can spread the word in the blink of an eye. "
Speaking of Xiao Yan, the Minister of the Household Department gritted his teeth with a headache, as if he wanted to eat Xiao Yan alive.
Lu Jia said: "Ah? Then what should we do? The family news said that let me do it first, let's keep it from the Rong An Hou Mansion, and tell them when the time is right.
Do you think this will work?I go to work every day when I take office, but in name, I will be counted as delivering drinks to the household department. I won’t tell everyone that I have a job as a female officer, is it okay?
In just three to five days, the arrangements will be made at home, and then we can do whatever we want.
Please please. "
Lu Jia's charming little face was filled with pleading, and she looked at the Minister of the Household Department earnestly.
The Hubu Shangshu couldn't bear this look, and of course, he couldn't bear the 60 taels of silver bill.
"Okay, but at most three to five days, after a long time, I can't hide it."
"Okay, thank you sir."
"Then I'll tell you when I go back, in order to increase income and reduce expenditure, this year the Ministry of Finance ordered a batch of special brewed wine from your tavern, and when the time comes, you can go there with the wine jar to make wine.
I'll get you the job entry paperwork tomorrow. "
"The remaining 50 taels will be sent to your study tonight."
Sending off the Minister of the Household Department, Lu Jia called the tavern's shopkeeper and the boy, "I just placed a big order for our tavern. From tomorrow onwards, I will go to the Household Department to brew wine for them for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I can't take care of the tavern here, so I can only work hard for you.
When the account department settles the money, I will give everyone a red envelope. "
When they heard that the tavern had actually taken the order from the yamen, the eyes of the boys suddenly lit up.
"Do you need us to go there together? Miss San can do it by herself?"
Lu Jia said with a smile: "The tavern cannot do without you, you are the pillars of our tavern, we can't do without anyone, as for the other side, I'll buy a few maids from the prostitute and take them there."
Chun Bao glanced at Lu Jia.
Their people will go to Beijing tomorrow.
Hubu Shangshu changed into casual clothes and arrived at Xike Bistro.
In the middle of the afternoon, when the business in the tavern was booming, the lobby on the first floor was extremely noisy and lively.
