The Notre Dame system is arrogant again

Chapter 697 Promise
After sobering up, Uncle Zhang had a headache and got up while pressing his head.

"Is there hangover soup?"

"Wake up and still drink, is it useful!"

Even though my aunt said so, she still brought the hangover soup.

"It's cold, let's drink it."

Uncle Zhang didn't dislike it either, he brought it over and gulped it down, and when he poured down a bowl of cold hangover soup, he immediately lifted his spirits, and his head didn't seem to hurt so much.

"I drank two glasses with Wang Erlang, this guy can drink too much!"

"I knew it was him." The little aunt snorted softly, and put the bowl aside, "Hurry up and eat. Is it okay for him to ask you for a drink?"

Uncle Zhang pushed the quilt aside, moved to the table, and picked up the chopsticks.

"Say something."

"It can't be borrowing money, right? Let me tell you, anything is fine, but borrowing money is not enough!" The aunt was very firm.

Uncle Zhang looked at her helplessly.

"I said you can't do it, why now it looks like everyone is borrowing money from you."

"It's not best to borrow money." The aunt didn't care, she sipped her porridge and said, "The government has refunded the money, so we don't have to pay back the debt. We have to think about buying a house. Let me tell you, I don't Back to the village."

"Yoha, I'm good at it now, I want to buy a house here, how much money do you have?" Uncle Zhang teased, picked up the bowl and drank the porridge.

"No matter how much, I won't go back anyway, and I will never look at your mother's face again!"

"Okay, tell me what my mother is doing, the old lady provoked you!" Uncle Zhang was upset.

The little aunt changed the subject with interest.

"What exactly is Wang Erlang looking for you for?"

"He said that the government was recruiting people, and he was going. He asked me if I would go. He might have connections and could arrange a good job."

The little aunt was stunned.

"What are you going to do?"

"What else can you do, run errands."

"You are a scholar."

"That's doing odd jobs. Don't look at me like that, no matter how good you are, you won't be able to be a master when you first go."

"Then do you want to go?" The little aunt became serious.

"I told him to discuss it with you."

The little aunt looked much better after hearing this.

"He decided to go?"

"should be."

"Is that temporary, or long-term?"

"He seemed to mean long-term."

"He really didn't take the exam?" the little aunt asked in surprise.

Uncle Zhang finished his last mouthful of porridge and put down the bowl and chopsticks.

"I've become a father, can I still continue to study? Besides, if I can pass the exam, I can still go on until now?"

Auntie looked at Uncle Zhang and said softly.

"how about you?"

Uncle Zhang looked at a loss.

"I don't know either. I heard from him that the yamen's tolerance is very popular now. In fact, it was good in the past. It's just that I will stay there for the rest of my life, and I am afraid that I will regret it in the future."

"Work temporarily for a few years, earn some money, and you can take the exam again."

"I can't read anymore." Uncle Zhang looked at his aunt and said, "Really, you can't be an official wife. Now you can only follow me as a village woman, or as a woman on a business trip."

The little aunt glared at him angrily.

"What do you mean?"

"It's meaningless, I just want to tell you not to have illusions about me." Uncle Zhang smiled wryly, "I can't read books now, I can't lift a pen, what else is there to take? If I can really enter the yamen, I won't work temporarily for a few years , will just keep going.”

The little aunt was not silent anymore.

What Uncle Zhang said was right, she really had fantasies, thinking that one day Uncle Zhang would pick up the book again, pick up the pen again, and continue the exam. !

Now that there is no foreign debt, Uncle Zhang can study hard, but he didn't expect Uncle Zhang to say that.

Lying on the kang at night, my auntie patted her son beside her, and Uncle Zhang was lying behind her. She had some insomnia, did she agree with Uncle Zhang to go to the yamen for work?

"Hey, are you asleep yet?" Auntie touched Uncle Zhang with her body.

Uncle Zhang hummed, indicating that he was not asleep.

"What if I don't agree with you?"

Uncle Zhang didn't speak.

The little aunt sighed.

"I know what you're thinking. Going to work as a businessman wants to get more money, but that money is not easy to get, right?"

"Isn't it better than now? Wang Erlang said that this time the government checked gambling, and the errands below are all more than 1 taels of silver."

"What? Ten thousand per person!" The little aunt was startled, and her voice rose.

"What, if there are so many, those people wouldn't be crazy about it! It's almost [-] in total."

The little aunt let out a long breath.

"It scared me to death. Ten thousand for one person would be too much. Then add up to ten thousand, how much can one person get?"

"A few taels, or more than a dozen taels, who knows. There must be more or less." Uncle Zhang turned over and hugged her, "You want to buy a house here and not go back to the village. You expect me to study and take scientific exams, mother-in-law , Then it’s the Year of the Monkey! Let’s be more realistic, what do you think?”

The aunt turned over, stretched her arms around Uncle Zhang's neck and said coquettishly.

"But I'm not reconciled, you are so talented that you can be admitted to Jinshi and become a high official!"

Uncle Zhang's heart felt hot when he was told, and he stretched out his arms to hug her.

"My mother-in-law is so kind, she values ​​me so much, but I really can't read on. Mother-in-law, do you regret it?"

The little aunt reached out and poked his head.

"I regret it! You have made me miserable! What did you say to me back then, that you would make me live a good life, make everything go my way, everything goes well, and the result? Your mother..."

"Don't talk about my mother!"

"Tch, virtue!" The aunt gave him a blank look.

"It's not necessary to be a high-ranking official to live a good life. I think it's pretty good now. I can earn a little money and live an ordinary life. It's much better than those who are officials."

"You don't know the benefits of others."

"I know, it's nothing more than getting more money, taking in more concubines, and raising more servants, what else can we do? Look at us, isn't it good to live a peaceful life for the three of us?"

"Still taking a concubine!" My aunt said, tugging at Uncle Zhang's ear, "I tell you, if you are rich and dare to bring a woman home, I will castrate you!"

Uncle Zhang turned over and pressed on Auntie.

"I'll find another woman when I'm full. You are enough for me..."

Next is the picture that is not suitable for children, omitted.

After much consideration, my aunt finally agreed to ask Uncle Zhang to enter the yamen as a errand.

Uncle Zhang told Zhang Lao Er that Zhang Lao Er didn't think it was bad to do business work, but felt that no matter what he did in the yamen, he was always in charge and was very supportive.

In this way, Zhang Xiaoshu and Wang Erlang entered the Yamen together. Because of Wang Erlang's connection and Zhang Laoer's generosity, Zhang Xiaoshu became a small leader.

The two servants under him are in charge of the law and order of a certain street. Using this small privilege in their hands, they can't get more money, but they can still get some if they don't.

And this is still a full-time job, and there is also a deputy job, which is to follow along to sweep the bets.

Although the gambling was coming to an end, Uncle Zhang was new here, so he could only share some soup, but he didn't expect that this soup would cost a few taels of silver, and the aunt who was originally reluctant was not so reluctant.
