14 Money Eyes, Servants

"Thank you brother Pei, this is five cents of silver, so please be sure to help me." Yu Qiao thanked him with his fists.

Pei Yuanman took the corner of the silver, and he weighed it quietly. After finding that it was about half a pound, he immediately smiled happily. While stuffing it into his waist purse, he complimented: "Scholar Yu, please give yourself a favor. If the young man is lucky enough to see Shusheng again next time, he will call him "Scholar!"

Yu Qiao said another polite words and walked towards the county government of Qu Mansion.

Qu Mansion is formed by the merger of two county towns, and the county government is next to the governor's office, so the "magnificence" of this county government can be imagined.

If the county magistrate is placed in other county towns, it will be extremely majestic. I don’t know how many people in the village envy you.

Although the monthly salary is not large, how many people who work as servants rely on their monthly salary to live?

However, in this Qu Mansion, everyone knows that the owner of Qu Mansion is the governor who killed thousands of people in anger. Who cares about this county magistrate?

The county magistrate has a hard time, and the servants under his command are naturally even worse.

In the past, there was no place to make money except for monthly salary!

This made several servants in the county government look forward to some errands that could ask for some rewards, such as notifying a scholar of his title on the provincial examination list!

The amount of reward the scholar gives determines what kind of treatment the scholar will receive when he comes to the yamen.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Qiao appeared, he was surrounded by several officers to congratulate him.

While congratulating, he gave him the direction.

Seeing this scene, Yu Qiao, who had specially asked someone in Qiongshan County before the provincial examination, immediately realized that he was the one with the most rewards to the servants yesterday!

But to be careful, this tael of silver is really not a small amount.

He and the monk Gao spent a meal with the famous seven cups of drunken beef, five kilograms of cooked beef, and a pot of green ant fragrance that is very popular among the upper sects, so they only cost a tael of silver!

Not to mention the fragrance of green ants, this beef is not affordable to ordinary people.

The court has a law that cattle must not be slaughtered at will. Once it is discovered, it will not only be fined, but also go to jail. If more than one cow is slaughtered, then the head is cut off.

Of course, if this cow dies from illness, old age, or falls, then it is a different matter!

It's edible!

This is how the beef eaten in the county is from the big households, restaurants and inns.

This shows the purchasing power of this tael of silver.

A water dealer like Pei Yuan may not have half a tael of silver if he earns from buying water in a month.

Yu Qiao responded one by one, then took out the copper coins that had been prepared long ago and distributed them to these servants, which made these servants even more enthusiastic.

Of course, Yu Qiao was not surprised, it went smoothly, and was the first to get the scholar's document sealed by the county magistrate and the governor.

From this moment on, Yu Qiao has become a real scholar!

It can be seen that if an official does not kneel down, he will be exempted from labor service and taxes!

Yu Qiao grabbed the scholar's clerk with both hands, his face as usual, but he was trying to calm down and was already very excited.

With the promise of the chess Taoist, he will be spared from death. From now on, even if he breaks away from the "sea of ​​suffering" at the bottom, he cannot be said to be the best, but he can no longer be called by others and lingered away!

"I wonder what will happen if I passed the exam for the scholarship and went to the Yu family?" Yu Qiao couldn't help but think that he could not wait to see the people in the Yu family, his brothers and younger brothers, after learning that he became a scholar!

Thinking of this, Yu Qiao frowned slightly.

He thought of the female ghost who asked his father to repay his son.

This female ghost was clearly attracted by his father after he asked him to worship the tomb of "Yun'er".

His purification can remove the "mark" imposed by this female ghost on him, but it cannot kill this female ghost. This means that if this female ghost sees him again, it may still attack him.

After all, this female ghost knew that he was Yu Shoutian's son, and she no longer pestered him. It was just that it was because of purification that some "mark" that the female ghost imposed on him was gone.

This is like a wild beast in the mountain catching prey. Suddenly, he can't smell the prey or see the prey anymore, so he can only give up.

Thinking of this, Yu Qiao touched his purse.

He wanted to stay in Qu Mansion for a while, but he spent money so hard that he was called this purse that was not bulging, and it was a bit dry.

This means that he can't stay in this Qu Mansion for a few days.

Besides, he was able to live in the Li family before because he had to rely on scholars. Now that the provincial examination was over, he also won the reputation of scholars. After the Li family found out, they were naturally willing to let him live for a while, but Yu Qiao couldn't keep it.

Before you pass the exam, it’s okay to do something without caring about being a shameful person.

But if you become a scholar, you have to pay attention to it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult to get involved in this scholarly circle!

Scholars need the most respect.

Yu Qiaoxin sighed. If this accommodation costs a little money, he will be unable to live in this Qu Mansion.

Just when he was bored, Yu Qiao heard a noise and walked out to take a look. He saw a scholar being stopped by a servant and prevented him from entering.

Just one look, Yu Qiao was a little stunned.

Although the money in his pockets was cleaner than his face, the scholars he had seen in the past were not too shabby in terms of dressing, at least they would not have been patched.

But the person in front of him was actually wearing a lot of patched clothes.

Isn’t this family afraid of letting him come out like this, so he loses his own face? Yu Qiao couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"Yu Xiucai, please leave!" When a servant saw Yu Qiao, he came up with a smile on his face, looking like he was pleased.

No matter where the person is, the rich will always be the master.

This is an unchanging truth!

"I'm polite. The students have something to do now. I'll invite you to have tea in the future!" Yu Qiao responded with a smile. After officially becoming a scholar, he could change his own name according to the court's laws.

Only scholars with fame and fortune can call themselves students.

Childhood is not considered a fame, because after entering elementary school, one can pass the child exam by learning a few words. Even if it is a child, one can call himself a child.

After all, this child is equivalent to a student status.

At this time, because Yu Qiao and the officer did not deliberately lower the volume when they spoke, the scholar who was stopped not far away saw it, and the scholar blushed immediately.

This is anger that strikes the heart.

"It's outrageous. He also got the reputation of a scholar, right? You asked him to go in, but deliberately made things difficult for me. It's just that he gave you money! If I don't give you money, you'll bully me like this! I..."

As he said that, the scholar actually sat on the ground and started to cry.
Chapter completed!
