Lao Zhoutou only rested for one day, and early the next morning he took a hoe and started walking around the yard, thinking about where to plant fruit trees.

Finally, when he wandered into the main courtyard, he saw Man Bao running out with a basket in a hurry. Old Zhou stopped and asked, "What are you running for?"

Man Bao said: "I have to go to the palace today as an errand. Dad, I'm leaving first."

Lao Zhoutou perked up, rolled his eyes, immediately dropped his hoe and rushed behind her, asking: "Manbao, can you take a look at the palace? I won't go in, so I'll stay far away.

Have a look."

Even if you want to go in, you can't get in now.

But it was still possible to see from a distance, and it was also okay to see up close, so Man Bao took him away together.

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang had been waiting for a long time. Mr. Zhuang went to work later than them. As long as there were no classes, he would stay away for half a day and no one would say anything.

So he did not go with them.

Man Bao and others put the basket on the car and climbed up.

Xiao Qian caught up with him blankly and asked: "Manbao, you don't want to have breakfast?"

Man Bao struggled and said: "The sun is coming out soon. We must rush into the palace before other adults, otherwise we will be caught by them. They will accuse us of being lazy again."

They got up a little late today.

When Xiao Qian heard this, he immediately said: "Wait a moment, I've baked the cakes and put some for you."

After saying that, he ran back to the kitchen and picked up several baked cakes and put them in the basket. He unscrewed a bamboo tube, poured some rice soup that had cooled on the side and poured it in. He ran to the front yard where they were all stuck in traffic, "Eat on the road."

, I have to work next time, so I can’t sleep in anymore.”

Man Bao responded.

Seeing that they were all ready, Daji drove the carriage forward, while Takamatsu and the other two guards led their three ponies on horseback to catch up.

The cake is freshly baked and still warm. It is stuffed with meat filling, which is salty and fragrant. When you take a bite, it is still crispy and delicious.

After Man Bao took two bites, he unscrewed the bamboo tube. Bai Shan took out the tea cup that was always available in the car. Everyone poured a cup, and then they ate cakes and drank rice soup, all very comfortable.

Even Bai Erlang looked nostalgic, "The pancakes made by Sister Zhou are so delicious."

Man Bao nodded repeatedly.

Lao Zhoutou, who had already eaten breakfast, felt a little hungry again, but he glanced at the three children and remained silent.

Man Bao took a piece of the cake in her hand and gave it to her father, "Dad, you can eat it too."

Lao Zhou pushed back, "Dad has eaten, and dad lives at home. You can eat as much as you want. You have entered the palace. If you want to eat, you have to wait until the next time you take a bath. By the way, how many days will you enter the palace?"

Hugh Mu?"

Bai Shan said: "Eight days."

Old Zhou sighed, "Why did it take so long?"

Bai Shandao: "Studying is like this. The Imperial College also has two days off every eight days. It's just that the Chongwen Hall is for the prince to study with him, so he is not allowed to go in and out at will."

Lao Zhoutou was stunned and asked: "You came to the palace to study with the prince, but Manbao is here to treat the prince's illness. Why does she have to live in the palace?"

Bai Shan was silent. Can he tell old Zhoutou that the prince was using his power for personal gain?

Manbao said while eating the cake: "Dad, I am studying at Chongwen Hall. I have two official positions, one is a sixth-grade imperial doctor, and the other is a fifth-grade editor."

Old Zhou felt distressed, "How old are you, do you have to do so much work?"

Man Bao thought for a while and said, "It's not that tiring. You can do a lot of things by saving time traveling in and out of the palace."

In his lifetime, Lao Zhoutou has never experienced the feeling of never having enough time in a day. Even when the farm work is the busiest, the only thing he thinks before going to bed is that today is finally over; not, why is it that today is over?

Passed?

So he looked like he was losing money and said: "But these are two jobs."

"I also received two portions of salary," Man Bao said, "The time is still one day. Although the work is more than that of a single portion, the salary is also higher."

Only then did Lao Zhou remember to ask, "Yes, you are an official, you have a salary."

Man Bao nodded, "I have a salary. Hey, didn't I write it in the letter?"

Lao Zhoutou shook his head blankly, "I didn't hear your second brother read it."

Man Bao scratched his head and said, "I'll write it. I've written it and now I've started to receive my salary, and it's double."

Naturally, Lao Zhoutou believed in Man Bao more, so he scolded: "I don't know how to read the letter, but I missed such an important thing."

Zhou Lang, who didn't know the word "salary" and didn't read a word, sneezed twice at home.

Feng went out with a dustpan and saw it, so she asked, "Did you get sick from Tanliang last night?"

Zhou Erlang rubbed his nose and shook his head, "No, it's probably because my parents are talking about me in the capital."

"With Man Bao here, my parents won't talk about you," Feng said: "If you want to talk about it, it's also talking about the crops in the fields. By the way, I see that the fields to the east are a little dry. In the past two days,

If it doesn’t rain yet, we’ll have to carry water from the ditch to water the ground.”

Zhou Lang said: "I'll go take a look in the evening."

Feng nodded, then looked at the sky and sighed sadly, "I don't know if Er Tou Er Ya and the others are okay in the capital. Er Ya is not young anymore, so it's time to say goodbye."

Zhou Zuorang said: "Don't worry, Erya is very powerful now. Let's take a look at the situation first. She has to find a wealthy family no matter what. She doesn't have to work in the field to marry. It's best to have several shops at home for her to manage."

"She's not my sister-in-law. Can she be found?"

Zhou Zuorang said: "You underestimate our daughter too much. Didn't you listen to what Man Bao said? She and Sanya are both very powerful now. Just look for the good one and don't just give it to the farmers."

"What's wrong with farmers? Aren't you also a farmer?"

"I am, so I don't want them to suffer in the ground like me."

Ms. Feng stopped talking. After thinking for a while, she said: "We have to search carefully. They have been to the capital and have seen the world. I don't expect to have the same future as my sister-in-law, one-tenth of my sister-in-law."

That’s fine too.”

At this time, Lao Zhoutou stared at Man Bao with bright eyes and asked, "How much is the salary?"

Man Bao said: "In terms of money, the fifth grade is 3,600 fen per month, and the sixth grade is 2,400 fen."

Old Zhou wanted to add it, but the data was too big and he couldn't add it up. "Just tell me how much it costs in total."

"Six ounces of money."

The old Zhoutou understood. He frowned and asked: "It's quite a lot. After all, our family may not have been able to save six ounces of money in a year in the past. Yours is a month, which is indeed a lot, but

I remember that when you were in Jishi Hall before, you had five taels of monthly silver, right? How come the money for being an official is almost the same as the money for sitting in court?"

Moreover, the money of two officials is comparable to the money of one sitting in court.

Man Bao said: "I still have Lumi and a job field."

This is the big one.

Man Bao puffed up his chest and said: "I have fifteen shi of rice per month for the fifth grade, and eight shi for the sixth grade. As for the land, I have a thousand acres in total."
