I am a temporary worker in Jinyiwei, how did I become a powerful official?

Chapter 34 Earthly Immortals
Biyun was in a good mood today and put on some makeup, making her look even more beautiful.

Lin Shisan joked, "Hey, who is this pretty young lady? Come over and play with me."

Biyun rolled her eyes at her husband and said, "How dare you be so disrespectful in front of our father."

Lin Youniu was happy to see his son and daughter-in-law loving each other. He stroked his white beard and said, "I didn't hear anything."

Biyun handed two leather bags to Lin Shisan: "Put a three-liang gold ingot in one. Dig a hole and bury it at night. Put the other one in thirty liang of silver. Both are medium ingots of ten liang."

Lin Shisan took out two 10-liang ingots and handed them to Lin Youniu: "Old man, these 20 liang are for you to use for the turnover of the ice cellar."

Opening an ice cellar requires a large amount of money. In recent years, Lin Youniu has used the money he earned to add more ice cellars.

The cellar hole is to the ice cellar maker what fertile land is to the farmer. Both are long-term and reliable assets.

Lin Youniu did not have much cash on hand, but the thirty-three cellars under his name were worth more than five hundred taels of silver.

Lin Youniu held a ten-liang ingot in each hand, as if he was trying to squeeze out oil: "Hehe, my good son has made great progress!"

"I just got a big business that can earn me ten taels a year, and this gives me another twenty weeks of turnover."

"I must have been blessed in my previous life to have given birth to a rebellious son like you. No, dear boy!"

Lin Shisan was amused by his father: "Old man, if I give you money, I am a good son. Otherwise, I am a rebellious son. You are really obsessed with money."

Lin Youniu restrained his smile and said seriously: "What do you know? There is nothing more reliable than money in this world."

Lin Shisan picked up his son and said, "Tiger, follow your father's example - be obsessed with money."

Hu'er was just two years old, and he still bit his tongue when he spoke: "Chai Ni, Chai Ni."

Lin Shisan smiled and said, "That's right! Your grandfather is a money-grubber."

midnight.

Lin Shisan was holding a pickaxe, digging a hole under the pomegranate tree in the courtyard. Biyun was holding a lantern for him.

Lin Youniu stood in the corridor between the courtyard and the ice shop, keeping watch for Lin Shisan, so as to prevent the burial of gold from being seen by the guys living in the shop.

Lin Shisan was sweating profusely, and after a moment he finally dug a small hole three feet deep.

Biyun handed a small porcelain jar to Lin Shisan: "Here, bury it."

The small gold ingot weighing three taels was wrapped in two layers of linen and three layers of cotton cloth, then placed in a small porcelain jar and sealed with oil paper. It was a foolproof method.

Lin Shisan buried the small porcelain jar and filled it with soil. Biyun said, "Put it away. I'll get you some water to wash your face."

Biyun turned around and said to Lin Youniu, "Dad, it's done. Go back to your room and sleep."

Lin Shisan returned to his room, and Biyun got him some water to wipe his face, and then washed his hands and feet.

The young couple got on the walnut bed. Tiger was already fast asleep on the small bed next to them.

A 20-year-old man full of vigor and vitality, holding his 18-year-old wife in his arms. How could he not do something in the middle of the night?
Lin Shisan smiled and said, "I got five taels of gold last night, and today I got a registered position. Our family is getting better and better. We should celebrate."

Biyun pretended to be stupid: "How can we celebrate in the middle of the night? I can't just knock on Zuixianlou's door and bring back a banquet."

Lin Shisan pinched him hard: "How do you want to celebrate?"

Biyun was reluctant to accept the offer: "What are you doing? It's not serious."

Lin Shisan said, "The scholars say that human desire is the law of nature. The common people say that it is natural to sleep with your wife in your arms in the middle of the night. What's wrong with that?"

Biyun chuckled and said, "Which scholar said that? How come I haven't heard of it? Don't you want to sleep? Then go ahead. Hey, why are you taking off my bellyband?"

Lin Shisan pounced on his food like a hungry tiger: "Take away the 'what'!"

After that, Biyun fell into a deep sleep.

Lin Shisan lay on the mandarin duck pillow and thought to himself: I am healthy, I have no worries, I have no creditors, I have extra money in my box, I have a lovely wife on my couch, I have a fat son by my side, and I have a job. I am truly a god on earth.

Lin Shisan was not an ambitious person. In his eyes, such a day was like a fairyland.

The next morning, after breakfast, he was about to ride his mule to the elephant training station to report for duty. A burly man in silk clothes stopped him. The man bowed and said, "Is this Captain Lin?"

Lin Shisan replied: "That's right."

The man introduced himself: "I am the servant of Master Luo Longwen of the Superintendent's Office. Tomorrow night our master will hold an 'insect appreciation party' at his home. I would like to invite Captain Lin to attend."

Lin Shisan's heart skipped a beat. Yesterday, Chang Qingyun warned Lu Yi not to be too picky.

Then Luo Longwen from the Yan Party invited him to his mansion to attend some insect appreciation party.

Go ahead, or the young shopkeeper might get angry and send people from the Southern Pacification Office to punish him with the family rules of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

If I don't go, I will offend the leader of the Yan Party's "Little Jinyiwei".

This is really a dilemma.

Seeing that Lin Shisan remained silent, the man asked, "Captain Lin, do you know where the Luo Mansion is? It's on Fulu Street in the north city."

Lin Shisan just said "Oh" and didn't say whether he would go or not.

The man bowed and said, "The message has been delivered. Captain Lin, goodbye."

Lin Shisan rode a mule, full of thoughts, to the Jinyiwei and entered the duty room of his banner.

Gao Xiaoqi, Sun Yue and eight colleagues congratulated him one after another.

Gao Xiaoqi said with a smile: "Hang up the badge? Thirteen, you are really rich this time!"

Sun Yue said: "Master, now you are really like a pheasant that has flown to the top of a tree and turned into a golden phoenix."

Sun Yue has not read much and speaks in a very naive manner.

Gao Xiaoqi laughed and scolded, "Fat young man, what are you talking about? Your master was a young talent in our elephant training institute. When did he become a wild chicken?"

Lin Shisan was preoccupied and could not hear a word of his colleagues' congratulations.

At this moment, General Zheng above them came in in a hurry.

Everyone hurriedly bowed and said, "Greetings, Chief Banner Officer."

Zheng Zongqi questioned Lin Shisan: "What trouble have you caused?"

Lin Shisan was stunned: "It seems that I haven't caused any trouble."

Zheng Zongqi said, "Liu Shouyou, the captain of the Southern Pacification Division, has come to the elephant training station and is in my duty room. He asked to see you and said he wants to invite you for tea!"

People in the Embroidered Uniform Guard were most afraid of being invited for tea by the Southern Pacification Office.

The Southern Pacification Division is in charge of the laws and discipline of the prefecture. If you are invited to tea by them, you will most likely be in trouble.

This time, a Nansi Flying Fish came directly. Zheng Zongqi guessed that Lin Shisan had committed a capital crime punishable by death.

Lin Shisan was worried: Although Luo Longwen invited me to attend a meeting at his mansion, I haven't gone yet? Why did the young shopkeeper send someone from the Southern Division to enforce the family rules so soon?
With a worried mood, Lin Shisan went to the general duty room.

Sitting in the duty room was a man wearing a Feiyu suit and an embroidered spring sword on his waist.

This man was Liu Shouyou, the captain of the Southern Division, who was feared by everyone in Wei. He was in charge of executing the orders of the officials in the court and secretly punishing thieves in the family.

Lin Shisan bowed his head and said, "I am Lin Shisan."

Liu Shouyou waved his hand and said, "Forget the polite words. Luo Longwen invites you to attend a meeting at his house tomorrow night, right?"

"You're wondering how I knew it so quickly, aren't you?"

"Let me tell you, the Pacification Bureau knows half of what's going on in heaven. The Pacification Bureau knows everything about what's going on on earth!"

Lin Shisan bowed and said, "Captain Liu, please allow me to attend the meeting. Doctor Luo invited me to attend the meeting. But I don't plan to go. I just received a reward from the Weili. I am a member of the Weili in life and a ghost of the Weili in death. I will never betray my own people."

Liu Shouyou raised his eyebrows slightly: "Who said you are a traitor? You have to go to this insect appreciation meeting. Not only do you have to go, the young shopkeeper has also assigned you a task."
