Chapter 392: Temporary Shelter


Seeing the old man go, Du Jia breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to be treated as a monster, but it seems that this Wang Langzhong has probably been the personal doctor of this Zuo family, and he knows very little about things in the martial arts, and he has seen a lot of ordinary people, and he doesn't know that the physical fitness and physique of those heroes are definitely not comparable to those people.

With Wang Langzhong's departure, Mingyue Ye honestly invited the old manager over, this is an old man who is nearly fifty years old, but the spirit is very strong, a pair of eyes full of wisdom seem to be able to perceive people's hearts, although the dress is simple but very decent, he has been working for the Zuo family since his father's generation, and it has been more than forty years now, his loyalty and ability are undoubted, and the Zuo family is also very respectful to him, and all chores are basically his final say.

In this era of clear ranks, it is naturally impossible to get Zuo Yuande's reception casually as Du Jia, and being able to let the old housekeeper come over is already enough to give him face, most likely because he was saved by Miss herself after all, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Miss, otherwise if he was replaced by an ordinary person who happened to be saved, he would have been automatically arranged into the slave team to repay this life-saving grace with his own labor.

The old housekeeper carefully looked at Du Jia for a while, and most of the suspicion and coldness in his eyes disappeared, there is no doubt that Du Jia's appearance and polite behavior won him a lot of favor, and he said gently: "It seems that the son is also a scholar, I don't know if he has any merit and whether he can tell the old man your origin."

Du Jia told the lie that he had already thought of: "Hello old housekeeper, Xiaosheng's name is Du De, he is a person from Qingzhou, his grandfather once commanded the infantry army of Heze Mansion, but he was upright, and unfortunately he was deposed by an excuse after he hated Shangguan, so the family fell in the middle of the road, Xiaosheng studied hard after that, hoping to make a difference, I just won the show three years ago, this time I went to Yangzhou with a few friends to find friends by the way to increase experience, I never thought that I met a group of thieves, Xiaosheng was defeated and fell into the water when he escaped, Fortunately, the noble people rescued me, and Xiaosheng has thanked him a lot. ” Du Jia shaped himself into a very common family situation in this era, the family of the eunuch, knowledgeable, upright, and framed by Shangguan...

These are actually advantages for most middle-level officials, and they will be deeply sympathetic, and he said this in order to eliminate the doubts of the Zuo family, it is best to win favor again, and then walk with them for a while, and find an opportunity to repay them.

Sure enough, after listening to Du Jia's words, the old housekeeper's expression became more and more satisfied, and finally touched his beard and nodded again and again: "No wonder I think Gongzi has such a good impression, it turns out that after the official eunuch, the ancients will have a blessing if they don't die, Gongzi doesn't have to be too sad, as long as he works hard, he will definitely have a great future in the future, presumably Du Gongzi also knows, our ship is going to Xiapi Mansion in Xuzhou, I don't know what Gongzi plans to do."

Du Jia said calmly: "Xiaosheng's body has not fully recovered, and secondly, I also hope to have the opportunity to repay your mansion, so I want to be able to walk with your mansion. ” The old manager was even happier when he heard this, and nodded frequently: "Okay, sure enough, he is a person who has read the books of sages and sages, and understands the principle that kindness must be repaid, if the old man refuses, it will not be beautiful, well, let's do it, we still lack a person who copies documents here, and during this period, we will trouble the son to work hard, I don't know if the son is willing to do it."

Du Jia naturally has no objections, in fact, with Zuo Yude's identity as the prefect of Xiapi Mansion, how can there be a lack of a few people who copy documents, the old manager is specially arranged a position for Du Jia, so that he can feel that he can repay the favor, which is exactly what the gentleman did.

It seems that the old boss has a lot of things, and after talking to Du Jia for a few words, he took him to a room next to him, and asked a master surnamed Zhao to help him arrange the work, then Master Zhao was also very polite to him, and arranged some official documents for him to write, there was no movable type printing in this era, so more than ninety percent of the documents were still copied by hand, especially the huge bureaucratic system of the Song Dynasty did not know how many documents to be produced every day, so even if it was only a few books and could write, there was no worry about having no food, If you have a fame or a good pen, you can eat it and have a good taste.

After copying the documents for half a day, it was already night, Master Zhao beckoned Du Jia and several other literati to have dinner together, during the banquet Du Jia also learned a lot of officialdom culture and the unspoken rules of these staff literati, for example, the chief master of an official is often his spokesman and military advisor, although there is no official position, but the status is very important, and for example, officials have a lot of extra income in addition to Yulu and this is not corruption, even most of the Qing officials will not refuse, otherwise it will be isolated from the entire bureaucratic system.

Du Jia was very interested in these, so he also humbly asked Master Zhao for advice, which undoubtedly greatly satisfied Master Zhao's vanity, so he was also triumphant, and finally broke up happily.

However, during the break, because Master Zhao's rooms were full, Du Jia could only arrange with the other two guard leaders, after this day's fighting, Du Jia also understood the general structure of this official ship, it is divided into three floors, the top ten rooms are all occupied by Lord Zuo and his family, and the more than ten rooms on the second floor are some middle-level personnel headed by the old housekeeper, including Wang Langzhong, Master Zhao, the head of the guard and others, the bottom room is more, It was the place where nearly a hundred servants, sailors, and guards stayed.

The air on the top layer is the best, the noise is small, and the conditions are worse the further down the bottom, which also happens to meet the respective identities of everyone, and the level is very strict, and the house where Du Jia stayed before is actually a guest room, at that time, because he was seriously injured, he was specially allowed to recuperate alone, but now that his injury has healed, he is naturally embarrassed to occupy another room.

Du Jia didn't have any opinion on this, anyway, no matter how good it was like Fang La Palace, no matter how bad it was like sleeping on the ground, he had actually experienced it, but when he came to the room of the two guards, he obviously felt a kind of malice, the two guard leaders were surnamed Zhang and the other was surnamed Ma, but they ignored Du Jia's active greetings, and deliberately threw miscellaneous things on the bed that belonged to Du Jia, and there was obviously an empty box next to it.

When Rondo and his junior brothers, who are known as mortal enemies with James, have also joined the Lakers, the so-called loyalty and bloodiness of this Jianghu have completely collapsed, this TD is nothing in front of the championship, the legend of one person and one city is just a legend, everyone will look at Curry, the old driver, Lillard and Wei Shao's balls in the future, at least there are still some stupidity and persistence left.

S: By the way, I begged for a monthly pass or something, I'm still running naked, brothers, can you bear it?
