Medicine Girl Jingjing

Chapter 194 The Di Family Moves into the Hou Mansion (1)
Li Laoshi was originally just a small kitchen account in Taiqingguan, with at most a thousand taels of silver on the account book.

This time He Dong actually asked him to go to Tanzhou Academy to take care of the account books of hundreds of thousands of silver in and out every year, he really valued and trusted him very much.

Li Laoshi was reminded by the He family, and on the day of receiving the decree, he brought a gift to visit Dean Zhao and Vice Dean Dong of Tanzhou Academy, and when he came back, he told the Li family the good news.

"Father, mother, the academy allocated me a mansion with three courtyards." Li Laoshi always had a smile on his face, and said a little excitedly: "Vice President Dong is very enthusiastic, so I will take me to see this one directly. The mansion was lived in by the previous supervisor, who was dismissed the year before last and brought his family back to his hometown, so the mansion has been vacant."

Li Bing said with a smile: "It's a coincidence. Your mother and I are thinking of building a separate courtyard next to the academy, so that it is convenient for Qubing and Xiaolang to meet friends. Then there is no need to buy it."

Li Yunxiao was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said: "Oh, I can go to the academy to meet my little brothers."

Li Jingjing took Li Laoshi's hand and shook it back and forth, raised her head and said with a smile: "Father, I'm waiting for spring, I'm going to live in the other courtyard of the academy for a few days, there are a lot of herbs waiting for me to pick in Yuelu Mountain."

Li Laoshi stroked his beloved daughter's hair, and said softly: "After the new year, you will be six years old, you can't always go outside to pick herbs, such things are left to the servants in the mansion."

Li Jingjing immediately dropped her face and pouted unhappy.Li Laoshi couldn't help but soften, and hurriedly looked at He Shi.

Qu Shi didn't wait for He Shi to speak, and said: "Your father and I will take Xiaoyazi and Jingmeizi to live there for a few days."

"Both mother and father live in the past, and Changsheng and I will follow." He Shi winked at Li Laoshi, and the latter smiled understandingly: "The three courtyards of my mansion, every twelve rooms , it’s enough for our family to live here.”

Qu looked at Li Bing, saw him nodding in agreement, and then said bluntly: "Bingge, our house is very good, but it's too big, it's not as convenient as Sanjin's courtyard."

"Yes. When the time comes, our family will go to Daddy's mansion. Grandma wants to see us, so just walk a few steps." When Li Jingjing first arrived at the Hou Mansion, she had to take a sedan chair from her own yard to the front yard. The body, as long as there is no urgent matter, walk there.

She is still like this, let alone the Qu family who has lived in Qujia Village for decades, she must be very unaccustomed to it.

During dinner, He Jingyan and Di Yujie learned about this and congratulated Li Laoshi for taking up the real job and getting the mansion.

Di Yujie specially invited Li Laoshi to sit down face to face in the study, straight to the point and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, although your supervisory position is only a sixth-rank official position, you are still in charge of the purchase of daily necessities for thousands of teachers and students in the academy. , with a lot of power in his hands."

Li Laoshi listened attentively.

Di Yujie continued: "Your former supervisor was Liu Guifei's cousin."

Li Laoshi was taken aback.

He didn't expect that his predecessor's background came from the harem.I didn't think about it, he took this official position, he was the founding prince, and his father was Mr. Crouching Tiger, who was respected by the emperor, and his status was far stronger than that of his predecessor.

"After Supervisor Liu was dismissed, all forces in Chang'an were staring at this position. Your Majesty decided not to take up this position, leaving this position vacant." Looking at Li Laoshi's appearance, Di Yujie knew that Li Bing hadn't told him the inside story. He said everything he knew.

Li Laoshi suddenly realized, and said, "So that's how it is."

He recalled the secretive and astonished gazes of the four subordinates when he saw them today, and he probably didn't expect him to get this hot and fat job.

Di Yujie said solemnly: "Brother Li, His Majesty appointed you to this position, other than for the sake of the old marquis, there must be a purpose to inspect you."

Li Laoshi said gratefully, "If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have thought of it so far."

Di Yujie lowered his voice, and said with all his heart: "As a subject, I shouldn't speculate on the holy will, but I hope you can seize this excellent opportunity. After you finish your job, your Majesty will be transferred to Chang'an in the future." The household department holds an important position."

Li Laoshi shook his head, his eyes were clear, and he said slowly: "Jiedi, I have never participated in the imperial examination, and I have no fame. I have never thought about going to the Chang'an Household Department in the future. I only think about how to do the current job well."

Di Yujie suddenly laughed loudly and said, "No wonder the old Hou Ye didn't mention you, so you don't have any ambitions except self-knowledge."

Li Laoshi smiled and said nothing.

Di Yujie had a feeling in his heart, and encouraged him: "When an official has no desires, he is strong. You have no desires, so you are strong and unyielding. You have no loopholes for others to take advantage of. You will definitely be able to live up to the grace and do this job well."

Li Laoshi came out of the study and was invited by He Jingyan to the side hall.

He Jingyan pointed to the ugly and rough-looking youngest Hong who was wearing a gray robe, and said, "Brother Li, his martial arts are not bad. He proposed to follow you and sister-in-law from tomorrow on."

Hong Laosan knelt down and said loudly: "In the future, I will let you and Da Furen order me, even if I go up the knife mountain and down the oil pan!"

Lu Daoming stepped forward and kicked Hong Laosan, and said with a smile: "You are enjoying the blessings with Lord Hou and the county lord, and there is no danger at all. What kind of knife is on the mountain and what is the pan of oil under? Hurry up and say something auspicious."

Hong Laosan quickly changed his words: "In the future, I will follow Lord Hou and the county master to drink big bowls and eat meat to enjoy the great fortune."

The corner of Lu Daoming's mouth twitched, and he shouted: "You think the Hou's Mansion is a den of robbers, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?"

"Don't embarrass Big Brother Hong." Li Laoshi was very happy, and supported Hong Laosan with both hands, and said, "I have four people in my hand. My wife is in charge of the big and small affairs of the house. You can listen to it right in front of her." make."

Hong Laosan stood up and grinned happily and said, "Master Hou, I will follow your arrangement with Da Furen."

He Jingyan said: "Brother Li, Mr. Hong used to be a seventh-rank official in the Huben Army. I have already greeted Dudu Hao and transferred his military registration to Hunan Road. His official position will remain the same. Husband Wangfeng) a barracks."

After thanking Li Honestly, he said with concern: "Third Hong, the New Year is coming, you go back to Chang'an to reunite with your family, and take them over after the New Year."

The youngest Hong was very grateful, and said, "Master Hou, I am now alone and have no family."

Lu Daoming asked in surprise, "Don't you have a wife in Chang'an?"

Hong Laosan's eyes were a little dim, and he turned his head and said: "I reconciled with her, the fault is that I am not with her. She must have remarried, why should I go back to Chang'an?"

Lu Daoming waved his hand and said, "Forget it. That woman is dark and fat. If you reconcile with her, she will leave. She doesn't miss you at all. Don't think about her anymore."

Youngest Hong hurriedly defended loudly: "I didn't think about her anymore."

Lu Daoming stared and said: "Bullshit, you don't want her, how can you protect yourself for her, don't find a marriage!"
