Chapter 565: Female Official Body
"I'm nicknamed Extra! There's something new in the court! Wei Zheng vomited three liters of blood, and Zhulu Hou was fined for half a year! I'm nicknamed Extra!"
A newspaper-selling boy ran past the door. Wei Yingluo called him, took out a three cents from his purse and handed it over. Two of the three cents were reported, and the extra one was the children's errands money. This was already an unspoken rule in the market.
The so-called "outside" is a new term. The Datang Daily is published every day, and there is no need for "outside" to be published in various places, but the "monthly" is published in a fixed period of monthly periods, but the news occurs in real time. Then, within a period when the previous issue has been published and the next issue has not been published, major events have occurred. Newspapers that have been temporarily compiled and printed in order to quickly and promptly convey the news cannot be included in the original number, and it is called "outside". But for the people of Chang'an City, there is actually no "outside" in fact. After all, the newspapers they see are the most timely. Calling "outside" is a kind of shouting, and fooling people from other places by the way.
"Thank you sister."
The newspaper boy took the copper coins, put them in his close-fitting cloth bag, and jumped and ran away again.
When Wei Yingluo lived in Datang Insurance, she actually subscribed to the newspaper. But yesterday she accepted Li Mu's new order and became the director of Fengchen Bureau. She moved out of Datang Insurance and moved into the yard of Fengchen Bureau that was being formed. However, this is also a temporary place. The office location of the Interior Affairs Office is under construction, right next to the imperial city, and opposite is the residence of King Li Tai of Yue. This place was originally Li Yuanji's old house, but later abandoned, and was flattened by Li Mu and rebuilt into the Interior Affairs Office.
In the end, Zhenzhu did not accept Wei Yingluo's advice and stayed in the Tang Dynasty Insurance alone. She chose to continue to follow Wei Yingluo, and now she is in Fengchen Bureau. But she has also become an official. Wei Yingluo is the "director" of the sixth rank, while Zhenzhu is the "director" of the seventh rank, but it doesn't make any sense, because there are only two people in Fengchen Bureau now.
It is said that the newcomer will come to report within three days. Wei Yingluo is from somewhere, so she didn't ask. She didn't even know what Fengchen Bureau is doing now. She only knows that she will deal with the palace in the future. This is why she is using her as a woman as the "director". After all, it is inconvenient for men to enter and exit the palace.
Zhenzhu stretched out her head and looked at the newspaper, handed Wei Yingluo a cup of tea, and complained: "The Marquis and our master had a grudge in their previous life, and they fought all day long. After all, our master is old, so the Marquis doesn't let him go."
Wei Yingluo sighed, "It's not all that blames the Marquis, Daddy's temper..."
"I know." Pearl muttered, "But he is the master after all, he is your father."
"Um..." Wei Yingluo finished reading the newspaper, put it aside, and said, "Pearl, it's okay today. Let's buy some supplements and go home to see your father."
"Okay!" Pearl stood up happily. For her, Wei's mansion was also her home. She went back to her room and took out a bag and said, "This is the cloth I bought in the West Market a few days ago. I happened to take it back and make a new set of clothes for my wife."
"Yeah. I'll go call a taxi."
Wei Yingluo opened the door and walked towards the Ministry of Works not far away. The Ministry of Works prepared carriages for the officials, but not for everyone, but shared. The carriages and coachmen both came from the carriages of Li's family in Zhaojun. As long as there were idle carriages, they could apply for use, and the cost was borne by the Ministry of Works.
Wei Yingluo has always been Li Mu's assistant before, and everyone in the Ministry of Works knew about it. She wanted to use a cart, so naturally no one would make things difficult for her. After a brief registration, Wei Yingluo applied for a cart, came back to pick up the pearl, and the two went home together.
The conflict between father and daughter has eased a lot over time. During the Chinese New Year, Wei Yingluo and Zhenzhu also lived at home. Although Wei Zheng still treated them without saying anything, he would not say anything bad. He basically adopted a laissez-faire attitude.
When he arrived at the door, he saw a lot of carriages parked in front of the door. Wei Yingluo asked the butler to go around the back door and enter the yard through the back door.
The noise in the front hall was very clear through the window and the backyard. Wei Yingluo stopped and listened for a while, thinking about how to deal with Li Mu inside and outside. She sighed, thinking that it was these people that forced her father to the current level. If it weren't for these people, her father might not have had a conflict with the Marquis. Now that her father is ill, the group of people are still gathered to yell, and they don't even have time to rest. They don't know what his father is thinking, so they have to contact these people?
"Yingluo, come here."
"Hey, mom,"
Wei Zheng's wife Pei called out, and Wei Yingluo entered the house and did not continue to listen.
"Mom, how is Daddy's body? I read the newspaper and said that Daddy vomited three liters of blood..."
Pei smiled bitterly and said, "Silly child, if you vomit blood for three liters, you will be gone. How is it possible? Your father is fine, but he can't say that he fainted from the rush. Just drink the decoction of Qinghuo. Look, isn't this still in the front hall to discuss matters?"
Wei Yingluo let out a long sigh and said, "It's good that daddy is fine." As she said that, she took out her purse from her arms and handed it to Pei, and said, "Mom, this is the salary I just paid. It's all here. You can keep it and buy some supplements for daddy."
"Salary?" Pei frowned and said, "Yingluo, isn't salary just for officials? You are a maid on Zhulu Hou and give monthly rules."
Pearl had been holding it in for a long time and couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Old Madam, you don't know anything. The lady and I are now both of us. I am a seventh-rank, and the lady is a sixth-rank. The Fengchen Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has the final say. The money was given in advance by the Marquis. He said that he had changed the new place and had to buy some things. We had nothing to buy, so of course we took it back to the wife."
"Official body?" Pei was also from a wealthy family, but he had never heard of a woman who could be an official, so he still didn't believe it. Pearl took out the seal she just got yesterday to show her, which made her believe it. But she still felt incomprehensible and murmured to herself: "This Zhulu Hou is really unexpected. He actually asked a woman to be an official. Isn't he just doing this nonsense?"
"Old lady," said Pearl, "The Marquis always treats his subordinates with abilities, regardless of gender. When the lady had no official position, she often helped the Marquis do very important things. The Ministry of Works regarded the lady as the Marquis's confidant. When the lady spoke, who dared not listen? Now that he gave the official position, it was the lady who deserved it. Even the seventh-rank official of Pearl was not in vain. The Marquis said that this was earned by himself, and he must be upright in the future. Don't be afraid of others' discussions."
