  Chapter 441 It's nice to grow fat

  The sun rises in the east, the sunset rises in the west, and the rise and fall repeats again. Zhu Pingan's working career in the Imperial Academy finally came to an end temporarily, and a rare and leisurely long vacation of more than a month was ushered in.

   This is the favor of the Ming Dynasty for newly promoted officials. Only new Jinshi can enjoy this long vacation. This belongs to the category of family visits. Other officials can only enjoy family visits once every three years. The holiday standard is one month, but the travel time is calculated according to the mileage. In terms of conversion, Zhu Pingan's long vacation this time has a total of 50 days.

  In addition to the holiday, Zhu Pingan also received a family visit subsidy of 5 taels of silver, but the current silver is only three taels, and the other two taels of silver are treasure notes.

  Pinching the banknotes in his hand, Zhu Pingan was speechless for a while. This Emperor Jiajing is too stingy. These two banknotes are only worth 10 Wen when they are discounted, and no one will discount them for you! This thing has been discontinued during the Zhengde period, and Emperor Jiajing still used it to deal with it. A boss who is so picky is also drunk.

The salary of the Ming Dynasty was notoriously low, and like today, part of the salary was exchanged by the emperor for things, such as the extra cotton cloth, silk cloth, and extra small things in the House of Internal Affairs. Anyway, whatever is available in the national treasury or the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be issued, and even precious money will be issued like today...

  The problem is that these things are not worth that price, and the emperor is completely unreasonable.

  After this vacation is over, after returning from the river, I have to consider making money. These salaries are really not enough. If I go back to the capital again, I will be ashamed to live in the Marquis of Huaihei's mansion, so I have to find a house to rent. At the foot of the emperor in the capital, the rent is not cheap... I can't just sit and eat.

  But, no matter what, it's a holiday, and I can finally take a break for a while.

   On the day of the holiday, I only worked for half a day, and it was off at noon. After Zhu Pingan, Zhang Siwei and Wang Shizhen had lunch together, they said goodbye to each other. Zhang Siwei was going back to his hometown in Shanxi, Wang Shizhen was going to Shandong to reunite with his family at his father's post, and Zhu Pingan was going south to his hometown of Xiahe Village. The three of them happened to go in three different directions. Because they met again in more than a month, none of the three had any worries about parting, so they said goodbye with a smile, and agreed to bring some specialties from their hometown to taste together when they came.

  After noon, the sun was warming, and Zhu Pingan returned to Linhuaihou's Mansion facing the sun.

At this time, the Linhuaihou Mansion is in pain and happiness. The pain is because the recent investment of Linhuaihou Mansion has failed again. This time the failure is more serious than the last time. The assets of Linhuaihou Mansion have shrunk by more than half; Didn’t Linhuaihou be promoted to become the governor of Yingtian Zuojun’s governor’s mansion Cao Jiang? . However, every time they thought of this, the old lady still gritted her teeth in distress.

  Bear child is also suffering these few days. He thought that after the bumpkin brother-in-law became an official, he would be able to play with Niu'er sister freely, but he didn't expect that the father invited another old-fashioned wife

  The only ones who were in a good mood were Li Shu's master and servant. The bun girl handed a stack of banknotes, house deeds, and land deeds to her lady. Her bun face looked like she had eaten honey, and her eyes narrowed into slits.

   "Look at how promising you are." Li Shu gave a nasty laugh, pinching the bun's face with her slender hands.

   "Hee hee~ Miss, you are amazing." The little maid of Baozi admired her lady sincerely.

"It's not me, it's because they are too greedy. Greedy people are short-sighted. Just give them a bone and you can peel off a layer of skin." Li Shu took the bank note and the house deed from the little maidservant of Baozi. The land deeds, without counting them, were placed in an open jewelry box aside, and then pointedly pouted and mocked.

  If the old lady or the eldest lady is here, she will definitely be able to recognize the land deed and house deed in the jewelry box at a glance

  When Zhu Pingan returned to the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, he just heard a howl like a pig-killing child in the Marquis of Linhuai Mansion, and soon after entering the door, he saw a scene of chickens flying around.

  Marquis Linhuai chased the bear boy with all his fat, but the bear boy ran away, screaming like a pig, "mother help, grandma help, etc."

  The eldest lady watched this scene from the side, anxiously persuading Marquis Linhuai, while the old lady, with the help of her maid, nervously watched the bear boy fleeing, reminding him to be careful and slow down from time to time.

The young ladies in the Marquis of Linhuai's mansion were all surrounded by the maids and old maids. Li Shu was also surrounded by the little maids of Baozi and other old maids, watching this scene with her mouth covered, her eyebrows hidden. With a smile.

   "Ah, my uncle is back, come here" After seeing Zhu Ping'an, the little maid of Baozi narrowed her eyes into crescent moons, and waved her small hand to greet Zhu Ping'an in a low voice.

  Seeing this, Zhu Ping'an walked over. With the help of Baozi's little maid, Zhu Ping'an soon knew the cause and effect of the matter.

   It turned out that the bear kid was suffocated by being confined to study these days, and while his father was out meeting friends, he refused to obey Mr. Xixi's discipline and ran out to play privately. This kid played horseback riding and fighting games with some brats from nearby honorable families not far from home, that is, riding a branch as a horse and fighting with each other.

  Then, the bear child was too involved in the game and didn't notice Linhuaihou who had returned from his friends. As a result, Linhuaihou blocked him all of a sudden, and was caught by Linhuaihou on the spot.

  The rules in the mansion are strict, and the bear boy also knows how serious the consequences of skipping class and sneaking out are, especially when Linhuai Hou found out on the spot, the bear boy's face turned green at that time.

  However, when the brat became witty, he was even afraid!

At the moment when Linhuaihou caught it, the bear's IQ was running at high speed, and then he thought of an excellent way to escape this catastrophe. The moment he thought of the method, the bear was so proud of his wit. No, I'm so smart!

  Walking the rivers and lakes, the most important thing is that people with high skills are bold, and the bear child has done it at this moment!

   "Hey, Uncle, you have identified the wrong person." The bear child turned around and rushed to Lin Huaihou with a smile, and responded wittily.

  At this moment, the brat is not only a witty brat, but also a brat with a strong psychological quality, and an actor-level brat. He smiles calmly when he looks back, and speaks calmly and well-founded.

However

  Things are beyond the bear's expectations.

  Marquis Linhuai was in Sparta on the spot, and he was about to clean up the door every minute. He was so frightened that the brat ran away with his head in his arms, and was chased all the way into the mansion by Marquis Linhuai.

  By the time the little maid of Baozi finished describing the whole story, Marquis Linhuai had already caught the bear boy and beat him up

  Zhu Ping'an looked at this scene and couldn't help but sigh, it's nice to be fat, and he's so durable.
