Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

The petty officials wanted to give gifts, open up joints, and save their own lives. After all, Lin Yuan didn't send anyone to raid the homes of these petty officials. They still had some savings in their hands, and even if they didn't, there were always some rare things.

Little ghosts are difficult to deal with, no matter if they are rich or ordinary people, they are unwilling to keep pestering them, most of them want to save money and avoid disasters.

But now, the petty officials have been unable to find a way out.

Giving gifts is not easy, this is also our knowledge, who and what to give must pay attention to.

To Chen Bosong?That's impossible, the general will lack these small favors?If you really send it away, that is to send the handle out.

If you want to give it, you have to give it to a villain who can learn the news and deceive others, but does not hold important power.

The petty officials searched for a long time before finally finding this person.

——Zhou Qiuniang.

She is a steward, not a small steward, she is in charge of reporting, and she is counting the number of reports.

In the eyes of petty officials, women are easier to deal with than men. What they want is simple, either jewelry or money, and a few sweet words can make them dizzy.

So besides being busy with her own affairs these days, Qiuniang has to go to verbal lawsuits with these petty officials.

"Boss Zhou, someone is asking to see you outside." Xiaobing stood at the door and bowed his head to report.

Qiu Niang put away the notebook she had memorized, and ordered: "Take someone to the reception room, I'll be there later."

Xiaobing stood up straight, promised and left.

Qiuniang has been promoted. She was just a small manager, and she didn't have many people under her command.

Now she is the chief steward, with more than 40 minor stewards under her command, and there are still people under the minor stewards.

When she was away from home, the way people looked at her changed.

When she came back to Hanyang, Qiuniang took the initiative to ask for Ying. She had worked in Gaoyou for these years and took care of everything she should take care of. She knew in her heart that if she didn't come out again, she would never come out again.

Qiuniang walked to the reception room, she now lives in a yard with three entrances and three exits, of course she is not the only one living here, all the female stewards live here, Qiuniang is their leader.

Sometimes they also hold meetings in the reception room, report on their work, and communicate with each other about the problems they encounter.

In the past, there was only one female steward, Qiuniang, but later there were more female stewards.

There are too few scholars who are willing to deal with trivial matters. Most of them have assets and have no shortage of food and clothing.

As a result, many orphans or widows who had studied like Qiu Niang went to work.

They have no men and no assets, so they can only rely on themselves if they want to survive.

Because Gaoyou has a good atmosphere and women can do things, so except for some women who found someone to marry themselves when they arrived in Gaoyou, most of them who had studied accepted Lin Yuan's recruitment and quickly took office and became Gaoyou political leaders. part of the system.

These women were also unexpectedly united, they would naturally gather together, and gradually, Qiuniang became their leader.

After all, everyone knows that Qiuniang is an "old man". She has been with Nan Bodhisattva since she was a landlord.

This makes her identity also become different.

"It's those people again." Qiuniang was a little tired, she hadn't slept well for several days, even if she was dreaming, she could still dream that she was working.

Yunniu followed behind Qiuniang and whispered, "I'm sure I'll bring you something again."

Qiuniang smiled: "They all think my eyelids are shallow."

Yunniu: "Those are all good things."

Qiuniang's expression turned cold: "It's all dirty things stained with blood."

Yunniu knew that she had said something wrong, so she quickly patted her mouth, indicating that she would not speak anymore.

Qiu Niang walked into the living room. This is the main courtyard, with the best orientation and the most sunlight. The door is always open. As soon as she entered, she saw five or six people. With a smile, the expression of flattery is particularly obvious.

As soon as Qiuniang stepped in, they began to flatter me with every word.

"This is Zhou Guanshi, right?"

"Guanshi Zhou really is a woman who doesn't give way to a man!"

Qiuniang smiled at them and said, "I don't know what's important for you all? These days are busy, so please forgive me if the hospitality is not good enough."

"What is Guanshi Zhou talking about?" Hu Yu pushed the others behind him, and stood in front of Qiuniang himself, smiling with creases all over his face, "We all admire Guanshi Zhou. Big and small, love the people like children, and treat people kindly, so we’re here.”

"Are you here to report something?" Qiu Niang sat on the main seat, "Let's all sit down."

Several people didn't want to sit down, but Qiuniang had no expression on her face. They were afraid of being kicked out, so they had to sit down.

Qiu Niang: "The reported matter has not yet been resolved. If you have something to say, you might as well speak freely at this time."

Several people glanced at each other, and one of them said: "Boss Zhou, you know that in Hanyang, it wasn't us small officials who had the final say. The adults above were in charge, and the people below didn't listen to us. Sometimes doing things is more... rough..."

"You said, it's not easy for us people, but there is nothing we can do. The people don't understand anything and are stubborn. Sometimes they will definitely go too far."

"Now that you make this report, and the people report the slightest dissatisfaction with us, aren't we being wronged?"

"That's right, we must have a place where we can redress our grievances and reason, right?"

Qiu Niang picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said with a smile on her face, "It's not that the common people said something rough."

"Forcibly occupying civilian women and robbing family wealth, these things are probably small things in your eyes, right?"

Qiuniang's tone became serious, and the faces of these people changed, but they didn't dare to speak ill of Qiuniang.

Even though they used all kinds of swear words to describe these female stewards in private, they couldn't even fart in front of them.

There was more than one soldier guarding outside the house, and they were holding real knives in their hands. They didn't want to use their heads to try what they could say to Qiuniang.

"Boss Zhou, that's not what he said. We are all honest people, and we haven't done the things you said, but it's been passed around, and some things can't be explained clearly. Don't you think so?"

Qiu Niang's face remained unchanged, she still smiled: "Since you can't explain clearly, then simply don't say it, it's cheaper to do it twice, and you won't have to worry about it."

Hu Yu became anxious: "Boss Zhou, you can't do this, we are all honest officials!"

"The common people are talking nonsense. What do they know? They eat and sleep all day long, just like pigs."

"If you had listened to them, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"

Qiu Niang glanced at Hu Yu, she knew who this person was, the superior had already greeted her, at this moment she smiled and said: "It's Mr. Hu, I didn't expect you to be here, is the tea still delicious? Do you want another pot? What do you want to eat?"

Hu Yu was taken aback, he had never seen this steward Zhou, before Nan Wang's men came in, he didn't even know that a woman could be an official.

"Boss Zhou is polite, I..." Hu Yugang wanted to ask questions.

Qiuniang: "Yunniu, give Mr. Hu a pot of tea in exchange for the Longjing we bought earlier."

Hu Yu was overwhelmed by flattery, could it be that this Qiuniang is a relative of his own family, and he has seen him, but he has never seen her?

That shouldn't be... Even if it is a distant relative, the surname should be Hu, not Zhou, and no one in the family is married to the Zhou family.

Going around, Hu Yu made himself dizzy.

Others looked at Hu Yu differently.

Qiuniang has always been very polite to Hu Yu, and what she said meant that there must be some relationship between the two.

Hu Yu thought to himself: Didn't this guy surnamed Zhou fall in love with him?

Although the surname Zhou is a bit older, he doesn't look bad.

——The wife in his family lost a child, and she looked old and haggard, not as good as his friends outside.

Hu Yu is born to feel good about himself.

He began to flirt with Qiuniang.

Even if Qiuniang couldn't look at him for a few moments, he felt that Qiuniang was playing hard to get.

So much so that after they were invited out, Hu Yu was still dazed, not knowing what Qiuniang had said.

"Awesome." The friends surrounded Hu Yu, "Brother Hu, you still have a way. What is your relationship with that woman? See how she talks to you. I'm afraid she will do whatever you tell her to do."

Hu Yu smiled proudly.

He had a backer before, so he didn't need to go out to socialize with people by himself, he had the little Xiami below to cling to her.

He is domineering, he dare not provoke those who are higher than him, but he does not flatter him, he just hides in his own world, being a little overlord.

So he is a person with a direct mind. Once others praise him, he can't think of anything else.

"Brother Hu, you have something to do with the manager of that week, so you can help us talk about it." They surrounded Hu Yu like a star. Hu Yu had been flattered before, but it was the first time he was flattered. Such sincere flattery.

It's as if he is their god, and he can control everything about them.

Hu Yu had never felt this feeling before, it was the first time he had experienced it, and he forgot his last name for a moment.

He responds to what others say, as if there is nothing he cannot handle.

"Brother Hu, it's up to you. I'll treat you to a drink tonight, to a restaurant, to the best restaurant!"

"Then you invited me today, and I will invite you tomorrow. Brother Hu, please don't be polite to us. We will all be counting on Brother Hu in the future."

Hu Yu hooked up with them and drank the whole night.

After this night, Hu Yu seemed to have become a heartthrob. Wherever he went, his former colleagues nodded and bowed to him.

More and more people approached him.

He was also the one who gave the gift, but now he has become the one who receives the gift.

With more and more money, the gifts received are naturally more and more expensive, even pearl shirts, which are not necessarily something that the rich can buy. With a smile.

From time to time, he had to talk to Qiuniang, but Qiuniang was always the same to him, speaking softly, and Hu Yu hinted several times, but Qiuniang didn't categorically refuse.

I used to rely on my uncle, but my uncle fell down.

If he can bring Qiuniang home this time, he will be able to rely on his wife.

As long as we are a family, we can talk about anything.
