farm doctor's wife

Chapter 1583 The capital city is a good place

Lin Yujiao's eyes were full of inexplicable expressions. Of course, everyone could see that she was not happy.

It's just that there is an embroiderer in the embroidery building who heard that she has an aunt who is an embroiderer in the palace. Every day she talks about how the capital is prosperous and how the concubines in the palace wear gold and silver, and she naturally yearns for it.

Seeing Lin Yujiao's eyes staring at her, Yulian bit her lips: "Sister, our family has never been to the capital, but I heard people from Xiulou say that the capital is big and beautiful, is it true?"

What a great thought!
Want to go to Beijing with her?
Seeing that Lin Yujiao's expression was not very good, Fourth Aunt Lin immediately smoothed things over with a smile: "Yujiao, you two sisters don't understand anything when they go out for the first time. How good, they just listened."

Neither the mother nor the daughter answered her words directly, it seems that they really want to go to Beijing!

"The capital city is indeed big and beautiful, but I'm not scaring you. If people with no skills go there, they won't even be able to eat. If the Li family's yard is placed in the capital city, it can sell for at least 2 taels of silver! "

The price really shocked a group of people.

"What? 2 taels? Can a yard sell for 2 taels of silver?"

Seeing Fourth Aunt Lin's mouth open and unable to close, Lin Yujiao had a smile on her face: "If this is not in the best location, if it is in the best location, this yard can be sold for 5 taels of silver! There are many officials below the fifth rank in the capital, and the emperor does not grant letters from the courtyard, so they live in extreme poverty, and their food and clothing are very simple."

Fifth-rank officials, those officials who are much older than the county magistrate, live so poorly in the capital?
The officials are all poor, so if ordinary people like them go, wouldn’t it be difficult for them to even eat?
Fourth Uncle Lin's family felt that Lin Yujiao was definitely afraid that they would follow them to the capital, so she purposely said this to scare them!
Those who are officials can't live on. If these poor people go to the capital, won't they starve to death?
"Yujiao, since they live so poorly in the capital, why don't they come to be the county magistrate? The county magistrate is only a seventh rank, but the life of the county magistrate's family is even worse than that of the rich men in the village!"

What is the life of the magistrate of the county that the rich man's family can't compare with?
A county magistrate's annual salary is only about one hundred taels of silver. How can he afford to live such a luxurious life?
The county magistrate who can live such a good life is either a person with a family background or a corrupt official!
"Poor Beijing official, Fourth Aunt has definitely never heard of this sentence, right? The reason why they live in Beijing is because there is a great chance of promotion at the feet of the emperor there."

Fourth Aunt Lin was speechless... She had never been to the capital, nor had she met a fifth-rank official who was so poor that she couldn't even eat enough, so she couldn't refute Lin Yujiao's words, she could only feel aggrieved.

Lin Yujiao's natal family came, and Liu Meier cooked very rich meals.

Li Xiuyu and Li Xiuyuan sat at a table with Uncle Lin, Uncle Lin and a few boys.

Lin Yujiao, Liu Yang, and Liu Meier sat at a table with Aunt Lin, Aunt Lin and the Lin family sisters.

Li He came out to accompany the guests for the first time. After a meal, she either praised Lin Sanshu's two daughters, or the twins Yuxi and Yulian...the atmosphere was quite lively.

After a meal, Lin Yujiao's family gave a lot of gifts and 20 taels of silver each. Driven by Uncle Lin's family, Uncle Lin's family had to leave Li's house, but Aunt Lin's face was very ugly.
