Into Unscientific

Because the contract that Mr. Xie took out had already signed the name of the person in charge of the Su family.

Therefore, as Xu Yun's own handwriting fell down, the naturalization contract became effective on the spot.

In other words, Xu Yun became a servant of the Su Mansion gloriously.

Of course.

As a newcomer who has just entered the government, all Xu Yun can do is some rough work, and there is no need to wash smelly socks and underwear.

In fact, in ancient China, it goes without saying that landlords of small households had no choice but to do the laundry and cooking in the households of large households were not ordinary servants.

Carefulness and dexterity are the foundation, and at the same time, you have to work in the house for at least a few years.

After all, no matter what era the underclothes are, they are considered very, very private items, and ordinary servants are not qualified to touch them.

In addition, considering Xu Yun's 'birth', Mr. Xie did not let Xu Yun sleep in Datong bunk, and still gave him the small bedroom as a temporary foothold.

that's all.

After signing the contract, three days passed in a flash.

Although the Northern Song Dynasty had no mobile phones, no wifi, no Momanogi Channai and no Tifa.

However, Xu Yun lived with Mavericks for a period of time at the beginning, and his past experience in the library for a long time also made him not so dependent on mobile phones.

In addition, life in the Northern Song Dynasty was much more joyful than that in the 17th century. Listening to the servants chatting every day, the time is not too difficult to pass.

Of course.

This is also related to Xu Yunchu's arrival in the Northern Song Dynasty.

When a person suddenly comes to a new environment, the desire to explore often makes time pass quickly.

Early morning on the fourth day.

crunch.

Xu Yun pushed open the door as usual, and walked out of the room yawning.

I saw that as usual, Mr. Xie Guan was arranging tasks in the courtyard as usual.

Well, the same goes for the donkey.

"The boss is in charge, Brother Yong Zhu, good morning."

Xu Yun greeted the other party familiarly, then stretched, and prepared to fetch water as usual.

However, before he could move his legs, he was stopped by Mr. Xie:

"Wang Lin, wait a minute."

Xu Yun turned his head and asked with some doubts:

"Everyone cares, what's the matter?"

Mr. Xie took a look at him, signaled for the surroundings to be quiet first, and asked:

"Wang Lin, you can read and write, right?"

Xu Yun nodded:

"That's right."

In the past few days, he had taught Zhang San how to write his own name in his spare time, and even gave him the nickname of a fanatic.

After Zhang San learned it, he showed off in the yard for a while, so the old man knew that it was normal for him to know how to read.

Seeing that Mr. Xie thought for a moment, he said:

"Since you can read and write, don't go fetching water today, hurry up and have some morning food, and follow Yongzhu to deliver a letter later."

"Message delivery?"

Mr. Xie nodded and explained:

"Master has been fond of reading since he was a child. Recently, Wailang, a member of the Ministry of Rites in Huangzhou, was promoted to the rank of Zhongshi Dafu. In addition to his family members, he also has a large collection of books, and all of them are rare reading materials in Beijing.

The master made an appointment with this person in a letter a month ago to borrow 50 books with Huangzhou characteristics, and sent servants to pick them up today.

Borrowing books is an agreement of a gentleman, and the servant is also an upright person, but in order to avoid accidents in the future, it is better to pay more attention when handing over."

A few minutes later, after listening to Mr. Xie's polite explanation, Xu Yun understood the cause and effect:

In layman's terms, a cadre in the Northern Song Dynasty was promoted from a region to a ministry in central Beijing recently, and he brought a lot of special books. Lao Su made an appointment with him to borrow a few books.

Today is the day to borrow books, and someone needs to come to pick up the books with the invitation card.

But in order to avoid some possible wrangling, the servants sent must be able to read and write, and have to check the titles of the books one by one before handing over the borrowed documents to others.

and it so happens that

Today there are not many literate servants in the mansion.

Later generations have always been quite controversial about the literacy rate of various dynasties in ancient China. After all, everyone's judgment on literacy rate is different.

For example, knowing your own name is literacy, and knowing more than 200 characters is also literacy.

But the level of education that the two can represent is completely two concepts.

However, there is one thing that is generally accepted:

That is, the period with the highest literacy rate in ancient China should have been from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty to the Qin Dynasty, and the literacy rate could reach about 20%.

The literacy rate in the Song Dynasty is not specific, but at least after deducting the number of literate scholars and civil servants, there are obviously not many people who can understand the titles of fifty sets of books.

There were quite a few servants who could read and write in Su's mansion, but today was the Privy Councilor's birthday, and Lao Su's fourth son, Su Mao, brought these servants to celebrate his birthday.

The remaining one or two literate servants are the stewards of the mansion, and they are not very happy to do this kind of work-the mansion of the servant doctor is in the west of Bianjing City, which is a good ten miles away from the Su Mansion.

So Mr. Xie thought about it, hey, Wang Mazi was born as an actor, so he must have some writing in his stomach, so why not send him over.

Hmm. Old Duguan has never heard of Zhang San's story.

As for the possibility of Xu Yun taking the opportunity to escape?

Not to mention that there were other servants accompanying him along the way, even if Xu Yun really escaped, so what?

Restricting Xu Yun's movements in the mansion and putting bells on his feet was mainly to prevent him from disturbing the masters and ladies of the Su Mansion. After all, Xu Yun was not a stable factor at that time.

As for going out of the mansion, you can do whatever you want, you can run if you really want to.

Without identity papers and waist badges, living for five days is considered lucky.

These days Xu Yun has been staying in the South Wing Room, without any chance to steal money, if he really escapes the Su Mansion, he will lose a few meals.

The master planned his life trajectory for him, and he didn't have the life to enjoy it, and anyone would say he deserved it.

Afterwards, Mr. Xie coughed lightly and said:

"Wang Lin, what do you think?"

Xu Yun is a little tired of staying in the South Wing these days, and now he has the opportunity to see the scenery of Bianjing, so he is naturally very happy:

"If you can work for the master, how can you refuse? Please rest assured, Mr. Wang will handle this matter well!"

The old man nodded approvingly, and called Yongzhu from his side:

"Yongzhu, find a few people and follow Wang Lin to get the books. Don't destroy the books, or you will be questioned!"

As a book fanatic, Lao Su has not only borrowed books once or twice, so Yong Zhu is quite familiar with this:

"Don't worry, just leave everything to me."

Afterwards, the old Duguan took out two documents from his body and handed them to Xu Yun:

"The above is a greeting card, just pass it to the concierge after meeting.

The following is a borrowing document. You need to confirm that the title of the book is correct before handing it over. Do you understand? "

Xu Yun took the document and nodded:

"Understood."

Seeing this, the old man waved his hand lightly:

"Now that you understand, let's hurry up and start."

Xu Yun put the document in the inner pocket of his clothes and put it away, followed Yong Zhu and the others to have some breakfast, and the group left through the back door of Su Mansion.

As soon as he went out and walked a few steps, Xu Yun just thought of something, and said to Yongzhu:

"Brother Yong Zhu, I forgot to ask earlier, which house are we going to this time?"

Yong Zhu was leading the way, but when he heard this, he turned around and glanced at him:

"The lord's surname is Li. He is a protégé of the master's old friend Dongpo Layman. His name is Ge Fei. I forget the character. He is now a fifth-rank official of the imperial court. He has a lot of correspondence with the master. He lives in the west of Bianjing."

". Li Gefei?"

Hearing the name from Yongzhu's mouth, Xu Yun stood there in a daze.

Even if he is a pure science student, he is no stranger to this name.

Because this person has a daughter named.

Li Qingzhao!
