Silkworm Extermination Chapter 14 Tianshu Academy

The business of the noodle restaurant has not been good or bad these two days. Although there are customers every day, they have never been full in groups of three or three, and they don’t earn much money.

It was almost a dozen steps from the courtyard to the noodle restaurant, and Li Mengzhou also thought about it in this short ten steps.

His main difficulty is to fill his stomach. He can tolerate the situation where he does not have a quilt and is cold at night. The key is that he will feel uncomfortable if he is hungry.

He might as well learn how to make noodles in the noodle restaurant and help him by the way. He doesn’t have to pay for his salary, as long as he can have a bowl of noodles and doesn’t go hungry.

He often comes to the noodle shop these days, and he has simply learned that the boss’s wife has to make noodles every day, and it’s okay to make one more bowl. Occasionally, if you do too much, the rest will not be sold, and you will have to throw it away even if you can’t finish it. He can solve this problem just right, so he doesn’t have to cause trouble for the boss’s wife, and can fill his stomach. It’s a killing of two birds with one stone.

"It's Mengzhou, why did you come before dinner time?"

Li Mengzhou called the owner of the noodle shop Aunt Feng, not because the owner's surname was Feng, but because her husband's surname was Feng. In fact, Li Mengzhou didn't know what the owner's surname was.

Although there were not many customers in the noodle restaurant, because Aunt Feng did not hire the hall to run, she was busy with everything, so she couldn't take any time.

Li Mengzhou greeted her, but did not immediately explain her purpose. She sat in front of the window and waited for Aunt Feng to finish her work.

Compared to the bitter cold in Shuning Town, Wang Paner and his mother run a tofu flower shop alone, Aunt Feng's life seems to be even more miserable. After all, she has a husband who is ill in bed. Although the capital is a wealthy place, there are also people struggling to survive in the dark corners.

This is not to say that the emperor of Jiang Kingdom is a foolish monarch, but it is difficult to avoid such a phenomenon. There are many reasons. If the world is full of rich people, then the world will become a different person. Perhaps the dream is good, but if it really turns out like this, everyone will have endless money to spend, which may not be a good thing.

Throughout history, many dynasties and emperors have aimed at making the people prosperous, but in fact, which dynasty can really do it.

No matter how prosperous the times are, the rich and the poor will coexist. The world is too big and there will always be all kinds of things that entangle everyone. Tragedy and comedy have always been involved and cannot be completely picked out.

Life is just about sadness and joy.

Wang Paner and his daughter in Shuning Town have never complained, and Aunt Feng from Chaosi Lane in the capital has never complained. After all, the misery is hidden in their hearts. They will still smile and look for happiness in the world.

While Li Mengzhou looked at Aunt Feng who was busy in and out of the kitchen and in the lobby in the noodle restaurant, he casually turned his head to look out the window.

I don’t know when it started, but snowflakes had already fallen outside, and the snow was very small. If I don’t look at the ground, I might feel that it was not snowing.

However, soon, the fine snow fell on the ground, and the clean road surface of Chaosi Lane dyed a light layer of silver again.

This should be the third snowfall in the capital.

It is of course a very pleasant thing to enjoy the snow quietly. If you sleep in your own yard every day until you wake up naturally, then wash up, go to Aunt Feng to eat a bowl of noodles soup, stroll around the capital until you are over, and fall on the bed when you get home, it seems to be a very beautiful thing.

But such a happy life should not belong to Li Mengzhou. Although he likes this very much, he has to consider how to break this unrealistic fantasy and keep himself busy.

And he saw a man holding an oil paper umbrella in Chaosi Lane, and he immediately felt that perhaps the peaceful days should be over today.

After saying hello to Aunt Feng, Li Mengzhou walked out of the noodle shop.

There was a person standing in front of his own courtyard.

He looked at Li Mengzhou standing behind him with some confusion.

"It's rare to see you here."

Li Mengzhou bypassed him and opened the yard gate.

Qing Yi shook his head slightly, and as Li Mengzhou walked into the courtyard behind him, he said coldly: "I won't show up here unless there is a contact."

Li Mengzhou sat comfortably on the rattan chair, leaned back, crossed his legs, squinted his eyes and said, "It seems that Tianshuyuan has a task to hand over to me, but I didn't expect that Brother Qingyi came in person."

Qing Yi didn't care about Li Mengzhou's rudeness. He carried his hands on his back and looked at him faintly, saying, "Because you don't know the other people in Tianshu Academy, I will come in person, at least I can explain it more clearly. Tianshu Academy does have a task issued, and this task must be yours."

Li Mengzhou didn't care about the content of the task and said, "You dare to ask if there are any rewards and punishments for the Tianshu Courtyard. You also know that although Tianshu Courtyard gave me a yard that would allow me to settle in the capital, I have no money and it is hard for a good wife to cook without rice, let alone a real man. Since I entered Tianshu Courtyard, I don't know anything about the benefits I should have, which made me care a lot."

Qing Yi's mouth twitched slightly and said, "The members of Tianshu Academy have monthly salary, but you have just joined Tianshu Academy and are still in the assessment stage, so you don't have a salary in the first month. As long as you complete this task and complete it well, you will naturally be given to you next month. If the task is not completed or is messed up, you will not have any life worries, but you may have to suffer a lot of flesh and blood, and deduct a few months of salary."

Li Mengzhou frowned and said, "How much is the monthly salary?"

Qing Yi said: "You are a new member, so you can't compare with the elderly, but the company treats subordinates gently, so you have a tael of silver every month."

Li Mengzhou was a little unhappy. He only cost one tael of silver a month, and obviously did not meet his expectations.

Although one tael of silver is already a lot, it is enough for ordinary people to save money for one month, and Li Mengzhou is only alone and has no family, so the cost will naturally be even less. If you save some money, one tael of silver per person is enough to spend two months.

But being unsatisfied is a bad habit of a person. If he can get more, no one will be willing to get less.

As the capital of Jiang Guodu, Langya City has more food and clothing than other cities. If you want to live a little better, one or two silver dollars a month is of course far from enough.

What's more, Li Mengzhou has no salary in the first month and has to wait until the second month to get the money. So how can he hold on in this month? Sure enough, do you still have to ask Aunt Feng for help?

Li Mengzhou originally saw Qingyi appearing in Chaosi Lane, but he thought he would not have to work in Aunt Feng’s noodle shop. This result was really annoying.

Qing Yi has never had the habit of guessing others' thoughts. Tianshu Academy puts instructions first and does not need to be asked, but only needs to be completed. Because the loyal people are noble and the tasks they perform are also high-level tasks, so there is no chatterbox in Tianshu Academy, and there will be no one who makes a mistake after drinking.

This is a very important point in the rules of Tianshuyuan. If there is any leakage in the content of the task, it is common to confiscate and exterminate the family. Therefore, even if the task fails, as long as you can escape unscathed, you will still have a chance. If your identity is exposed, you should apologize for death, causing serious consequences, and the punishment will be even more terrible.

Qing Yi was actually very dissatisfied with Li Mengzhou not undergoing any assessment and then started to perform the task directly. Of course, he did not dare to be dissatisfied with the people above, so he could only put his dissatisfaction on Li Mengzhou.

If he does not have a certain status in Tianshu Court, he actually doesn't even know who he is serving. Qing Yi belongs to someone who knows everything, while Li Mengzhou belongs to someone who doesn't know anything. He is just a member of the outside of Tianshu Court that can no longer be outside.

Qing Yi didn't want to say too much to Li Mengzhou. He just needed to let him know what the consequences of failing to complete the task. It would be better not to say what should be said and what should not be said in front of outsiders. Sometimes he could not fully trust his own people. In this case, he could only say what should be said.

As for what should be said and what should not be said, everyone naturally has a thought in their hearts.

Qing Yi frowned slightly and said, "You are not an internal staff member of Tianshu Court. You naturally don't have much benefits. If you perform well, you can naturally be promoted. In addition to your monthly salary, you can also enjoy more convenience in the capital.

Every member of Tianshuyuan has a different identity on the surface. Perhaps in Chaosi Lane, a beggar begging along the street and a laborer running around may be your colleagues."
