He is not a conscientious boss. Google search reading

Now, in addition to his duties as a housekeeper, Lao Li also raises horses part-time, so he deserves a salary increase.

As for the previous lack of salary increase, it makes sense.

Bai Gui taught Lao Li the art of raising horses, but he still confiscated the money. You must know that if you learn his horse-raising skills that combine Chinese and Western skills, you can make a living for a lifetime. Even if you don't exchange it for a lot of money, most people who want to learn it have no way to learn it.

Now that Lao Li has achieved certain results in raising horses, a salary increase must be put on the agenda.

Otherwise, the salary will be raised just after raising the horse...,

Lao Li would also complain.

"Thank you, boss."

"On behalf of my grandson and the whole family, I would like to thank my boss for his great kindness..."

Lao Li was overjoyed when he heard this. Not only was he a silver dollar salary increase, but he was also happy that his grandson could go to school.

In fact, not only is there compulsory education in later generations, but it is also available now. Primary schools are divided into junior primary schools and senior primary schools. Some junior primary schools have grades one to three, and some have grades one to four. Each province differs. Free compulsory education in general is limited to junior primary schools.

However, tuition is not completely free. You need to pay two to three silver dollars in tuition every year. For high school students, it is four to five silver dollars. Most people simply can't afford it.

At this time, Bai Gui said that he should send a letter to the school to ask Lao Li's grandson to go to school. It was not just about the number of places in school, but also about the subsidy issued by the government to the school, called "cultivation fee", which would set aside a part of the subsidy. poor students.

And the quota for this subsidy... generally speaking, only those with a little power can grab it.

Bai Gui's letter is equivalent to giving Lao Li leverage so that his grandson can receive part of the subsidy.

"Let your grandson study hard. Only by studying can he find a way out."

"As for me, it turns out that I am the son of a horseman. You see, only by studying can I make a lot of money. Otherwise, I won't even be able to settle accounts, and I will have a miserable life..."

Bai Gui nodded and said smoothly.

Just like Zhu Yuanzhang never tabooed that he was a beggar, because Zhu Yuanzhang became famous and said that he was a beggar, which further showed his great ability. Bai Gui is similar. He said that he was born as the son of a horseman. Others would not look down on him because of his background. Instead, they would think that he had little ambition and thus went to Yingzhou.

Of course, there is no need to look down upon people who conceal their origins...

Because they have not yet achieved success, it is a time when their psychology is sensitive and fragile.

"Yes yes yes."

Lao Li was greatly shocked and nodded repeatedly.

It's not like he hasn't heard the story of starting from humble beginnings, but everything is too far away, and nowhere is it as close as Bai Gui.

I made up my mind to encourage my grandson when I get back.

"If you are short of tuition fees, you can ask me for it..."

Seeing this, Bai Gui nodded slightly, got on his horse, and drove off.

He is about to leave Yanjing, and it is not a problem for him to have only Lao Li to take care of him in the White House. And giving favors should not only be done in terms of money, but also in terms of favors.

The most important favor is the grace to save a life, the grace to meet someone later, and the grace to teach.

When he sent this letter, if Lao Li had his grandson in mind, he would not dare to act recklessly. Because Lao Li's grandson is equivalent to his name. Once Lao Li acts randomly, his grandson's future will be ruined.

In the eyes of the older generation, the fate of the family is much more important than his own life!

…

Shao Qing, Jin Mansion.

As usual, Bai Gui got off the Ford car first, then walked to the car to pick Bai Xiuzhu off.

"Mr. Bai, Mrs. Bai, Miss Bai, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xiao Lian came over and said hello.

Although Bai Gui didn't come to Jin Mansion often these days, he handled things in an orderly manner and showed great respect for servants like them. Although he didn't give any gifts, the nature of the gifts changed, but in general, it made them feel a lot closer.

"Well, let's go."

The three of them nodded and walked in.

Admission.

It's still pretty much the same as before, sitting in the field and chatting.

It's just that the protagonist in the scene is no longer Bai Gui. After all, he has been here for a long time. In the past, it was just a way of hospitality, but now he is more familiar with him and does not need to take care of him anymore.

But as we kept talking, it was inevitable that Bai Gui would come up.

The banquet in the Jin Mansion invited some close juniors to keep in touch with each other. Although some people are famous in all walks of life, they can't compare with Bai Gui, a famous scholar at home and abroad. Not to mention that in the past few days, although Bai Gui has not It occupies the headlines, but it still gets a lot of coverage.

"I heard that Meihe resigned from Beiman Girls' School a few days ago."

"I was planning to transfer Meili from Mu Zhen Girls' School to Beiman Girls' School, and I wanted to ask you to make a plan..."

The second concubine of Jin Mansion shook her head and sighed.

Muzhen Girls' School was well-known in Yanjing at this time, and it was also a missionary school. Together with Huiwen, Yuying and Beiman, it is known as the four famous church schools.

However, Beiman Girls' School was the first all-girls school to open a college department. Now in terms of education, it seems to be higher than Mu Zhen.

Parents have a herd mentality.

Bai Gui's cousin-in-law happened to teach at Beiman Girls' School, so the second concubine of the Jin family wanted to transfer Jin Meili to Beiman Girls' School.

"Second mother, look what you said, how can my cousin-in-law always be in a girls' school?"

"Those are all stop-gap measures."

Wang Yufen helped.

It's hard for Bai Gui to answer this, but Wang Yufen's answer is more appropriate.

She is also willing to protect Bai Gui. She is the closest to Bai Gui in the Jin family, not to mention that Bai Gui has given her some gifts.

The second aunt thought about it for a while and gave up.

Her position in the Jin family was not very high. She laid an egg, Jin Meili, and was the youngest sister, who was loved by everyone in the Jin family. But no matter how good a youngest sister is, she is not as good as a boy, and her words have no weight.

"Speaking of this, I also have something to ask Meihe, even if I stay at home, I will stay..."

"I don't know if I can teach and become a female teacher."

The second young lady Cheng Huichang said.

"With Sister Huichang's knowledge, it is more than enough to be a teacher in the high school department. I can write a recommendation letter for you and go to Principal Mai Meide."

Bai Gui agreed generously.

Female teachers are still relatively scarce. Among the young ladies in the Jin family, only Cheng Huichang has short hair and dresses like a progressive lady. He will not be surprised. Writing a letter will not waste any effort or favors.

With the power of the Jin family, it is not difficult to find a girls' school to work in. But the difficulty is that Huichang cannot borrow the power of the Jin family. It is a bit embarrassing for the Jin family to show their faces in public, even if they teach female students.

However, he wrote this letter, which did not cause dissatisfaction from the Jin family, and the Jin family would not be cold to him because of this little thing.

Besides, he had a certain relationship with the Jin family, and writing this letter made it seem that he had closer contact with the Jin family.

It was a good thing without any cost.

"Thank you for your help, Meihe. Here are two tickets. I bought them a few days ago. You have been in Yanjing for so long, how can you not listen to a play? These two tickets are for you and Xiuzhu..."

Cheng Huichang was very happy, took out two theater tickets from his bag and handed them to Bai Gui and Bai Xiuzhu.
