After leaving school, the sun was still high in the sky. Several students were hanging out with friends and wanted to go to a restaurant to drink.

Seeing Wei Anxing holding two books under his arm, he was about to go home. Li Qiaomu said, "It's still early, and the government has added money for tea soup. Why don't you, brother Wei, go and have a drink?"

Wei Anxing smiled and said, "My wife is still waiting at home, so I won't go."

Li Qiaomu said: "Brother Wei is a man who knows how to live a good life. We are going to the fireworks in the world and have a drink!"

Wei Anxing handed over his hand and said, "Eat and drink well, everyone. I'm not good at drinking, so I went home."

Saying goodbye to everyone, Wei Anxing walked to the car and walked slowly home.

His wife, Yingniang, was peeling onions. When she saw Wei Anxing coming back, she hurriedly fetched water for her husband to wash up.

After washing, Wei Anxing moved a chair, sat under a big tree in the yard, and watched his wife busy. After a while, he said: "It is the decree of the Holy One that prices have become expensive recently, and officials' lives are difficult, and many people are unable to support their families.

.So low-level officials are given an additional ten guan of tea soup money every month.”

Yingniang smiled and said: "I heard people say that the prices in the industry are very expensive. It costs one to twenty guan a month. With a slightly larger population, even rice can't be bought. But it's not that expensive here in Luoyang. Don't talk about rice, a month

How many more times can we eat meat? By the way, have you added the money for the tea soup?"

Wei Anxing said: "Xuan Fu has always been generous. Is there any reason why the imperial court added more and his rule did not? But it is different from the imperial court. The imperial court only accepted Zhiyang because the salary of low-level officials was too low and they really could not support their families.

Officials below are given tea money, but those above are not. The difference here is that all officials in Xuanfu are given tea money. And not just civil servants, but also military officials."

Yingniang said: "Xuanfu is good to the officials below. He never hesitates when giving out money."

Wei Anxing said: "Yes, compared with the officials of the imperial court, we in the west of Beijing are much better off. The salary of the imperial officials is said to be a certain amount, but how can they actually get so much? Officials in the capital can only get sixty percent.

One hundred Wen is enough money. If you are not in Beijing, you can only get four hundred Wen. We are all paid enough. The same salary in the west of Beijing is more than double that of officials in the imperial court. Not to mention, things are not expensive here in Luoyang

, life is too comfortable.”

Yingniang said: "We can't spend more than ten guan of tea and soup a month. When my uncle comes, let's buy a house. There are still too few people in Luoyang now, and the house is cheap. Xuanfu Secretary is at the meeting

I saw the house built at Tongqiao yesterday. Although it is a little small, the house is really good."

Wei Anxing said: "I am an official. If I buy a house, I may not be able to live in it. The so-called wandering eunuch means that officials work in various places and have no fixed residence. I bought a house in Luoyang, but I was asked to go there.

What should I do if I become an official in Hedong?"

Ying Niang sighed: "Then I won't buy it. Alas, life in Longde Mansion was really rough in the past few years. Now I just want to have a home."

Wei Anxing said: "It's almost time. When I get out of school, I will know where to become an official and I can decide."

Ying Niang nodded. She put away the vegetables she picked and looked up at the sun in the sky. She was lost in thought for a moment. After settling down, how should she live? In this life, she has lost too many things.

At this moment, Ding Xia Anqi, the officer on duty today, hurried over and said to Wei Anxing: "Sir, the government has just sent a letter saying that there is news about your parents and asking you to come to the Henan government office as soon as possible. By the way, you have to prepare.

Your Majesty and Your Majesty have already arrived in Luoshan County, you have to find a way to welcome them to Luoyang."

After hearing this, Wei Anxing stood up in a hurry and said to Yingniang: "I'm going to the government office. You just cook, don't wait for me!"

Ying Niang said yes and watched her husband leave quickly with Xia Anqi.

When he arrived at the Henan government office, he was led by an official to Yang Huan, the clerk.

Yang Huan was a Jinshi in the third year of Xuanhe. He became the county magistrate and was attacked by the Jin army. He hid in the mountains for several years while Wang Xiao hunted for the Northern Expedition before he came out to serve as an official again. After a few months of familiarity with affairs, he is now in Xuanhe.

Fu Si is responsible for doing business.

Seeing Wei Anxing, Yang Huan hurriedly invited him to the guest room next to him and ordered someone to serve tea.

Without waiting for tea, Wei Anxing asked anxiously: "Director, is there any news about my parents?"

Yang Huan nodded and said: "There is a man named Sun Ji who purchases medicinal materials for the supply and marketing cooperative in Luoshan County. I originally asked him to bring a letter to your parents. Who would have thought that when he found your parents, he encountered the Jin army heading south?

, occupied the village. After waiting for more than ten days, I escaped with my life, and then returned to Luoshan with your parents. I didn’t dare to buy any medicinal materials, so I hurriedly reported back."

Wei Anxing said anxiously: "How are my parents? Are they still okay?"

Yang Huandao: "Don't worry. I'm just a little frightened, but it's not a problem. Now I'll take care of myself in Luoshan County for a while. I'll come back to Luoyang when I feel better."

Wei Anxing nodded. After a while, he said strangely: "My parents are in Shangcheng, which is under the rule of Guangzhou. How come there is a Jin army? When the Jin army goes south, it shouldn't go there? Although it is a north-south passage,

The mall is not suitable for army operations after all."

Yang Huan sighed: "Yes, that's how it was. But I didn't expect that the Jin army wanted to snatch the artillery that Du Cheng had transported from Luoyang and went south from there. Later, when they robbed the artillery and went back, they were in the village where your parents lived.

, the craftsmen rose up to resist and were all killed. Everyone in the village was killed by the Jin army. Fortunately, Sun Ji saw it outside the village and hurried back to hide in the mountains with your parents, saving his life."

"I see--" Wei Anxing nodded. "So, I really want to thank Sun Ji."

Yang Huandao: "He has come to Luoyang and is staying in the inn now. However, don't go looking for him now. This time he saw the craftsmen being killed and also saw the Jinmen carrying artillery heading north. This is a very important matter.

, the superiors should ask him carefully."

Wei Anxing said: "I understand. - When the superiors ask, the cadre will let me know. No matter what, I must thank him properly."

Yang Huandao: "Okay. You go back and ask someone to bring your parents back with the people from the post office in Luoshan County. The current postal route is from Ye County to Tangzhou, and then to Xinyang Army. In Ye County

We have to replace people with Tangzhou, so we don’t send someone there for fear of something going wrong on the way.”

Wei Anxing thought for a while and couldn't help but shake his head: "To be honest, I haven't been in Luoyang for a long time, and I don't know anyone I know. It's better for the government to come forward and help me find someone. I'll just pay for it."

Yang Huan thought for a while and said: "Okay, I'll see if anyone from the supply and marketing cooperative goes to Luoshan and asks them to help. Don't worry, the prefectures and counties below have to come to Luoyang City frequently to do business, and they will definitely be found. Your parents

I'm just scared, don't worry."

Wei Anxing nodded.

Speaking of fright, my parents have suffered a lot in the past few years when they fled south. This time, they were killed so brutally in the village that no chickens or dogs were left behind. It was so terrifying that the two old people were frightened. They followed Sun Ji and fled back.

Luoshan fell ill and hid in bed for some days.
