"What if they drug us?"
Gu Chen was still a little hesitant. The most important thing was that he was from Yushitai, so it would be inappropriate to go to a place like this, wouldn't it?
"It makes sense." Chen Baochuan was frightened by today's events and nodded quickly: "What about the shock-absorbing wine we're serving tonight?"
Still drinking?
Finally, Gu Chen went to a small stall and bought two taels of hazelnut kernels, a pound of pig head meat, and two pounds of roasted knives, for a total of one hundred copper coins.
“I really can’t help spending this money.”
Being an official is really miserable, why don't you find another way out?
With this little money, I won’t be able to support my wife and children in the future.
Although people in the Ming Dynasty cannot do business unless they are in the fourth rank or above, but he is so busy every day?
Where do you have time to take care of it?
It seems that it is best to marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible and let her take care of it.
Returning to the small rented yard, the two of them just opened the door and saw a note taped on the wall, with six large characters written in cinnabar.
"Today is just a warning."
No need to think about it, this must be the person behind it and did it deliberately.
Arrogant!
It's so arrogant!
"Gu...Brother Gu..." Chen Baochuan spoke in a frightened tone: "You...which god did you offend?"
But yes, what happened today looked dangerous, but it was actually not bad.
If the other party is serious, just give you something in your small yard.
Then I will read another book for you, and you will have no place to cry out your grievances.
"Brother Chen, you also know that I only read two books every month."
One is the copy-pasted version that follows the crowd and criticizes others.
In this way, even if something is done, one official will not be offended.
Because the law does not blame everyone.
As for this kind of book, the blue jade general he read last month was domineering.
But General Lan Yu couldn't possibly catch that big fish and stay still.
However, I have to touch this little shrimp like myself.
There is also a book about joining a minor official. Of course, what he said is true.
This was used to prove to Boss Zhu that he was not just free rice at Yushitai.
Normally, he would take turns on duty with his colleagues.
Occasionally make secret visits to brothels to see if any officials are prostitutes...
Gu Chen sat in front of the table and began to think carefully about the people he had participated in.
"Wait a minute, the prostitute..." Gu Chen sat up straight and suddenly remembered: "Last month, I found out that a person named Qian Yi from the Ministry of Finance was the one who stayed in prostitution."
"But, but, I haven't heard of his name either..."
He was just a seventh-grade junior, with an official position lower than his own. Of course, Gu Chen would not be polite to him for such achievements that came to his door unsolicited.
The memorial was handed in that night, and the guy got sixty battles the next day.
"Qian Yi? Qian Yi?" Chen Baochuan thought about it for a while, then suddenly turned pale with shock: "Brother Gu, you almost got into trouble."
"Prime Minister Hu took in a new concubine two months ago, and Qian Yi is that concubine's brother."
"You, you interfered with my uncle's brother-in-law and caused him to be beaten sixty times."
This Hu Xiang just gave a warning, which was already very polite and polite.
Fortunately, this is not a serious uncle, otherwise Brother Gu would be in trouble.
"Hu Xiang?"
Hu Weiyong?
Hearing this name, Gu Chen broke into cold sweat.
Although he knew that Hu Weiyong would only be arrogant for a few years, and he would be killed by Lao Zhu in the thirteenth year of Hongwu.
However, before he was killed, his power was frightening.
He could also decide the life, death, promotion and demotion of officials without authorization. Wasn't it rumored in later generations that Liu Bowen was killed by him?
That was the earl, and he could not escape his bad luck.
I am a small seventh-grade official, and if someone crushes me to death, it is like crushing an ant to death.
"How come I don't know about Hu Xiangna's little wife?"
Because no one informed him of this, you said he couldn't go up and give someone a gift.
"Oh, that girl comes from a scholar's family. She feels that being a concubine is a bit embarrassing, so she doesn't have anything to do. She was carried into the Hu's house in a small sedan in the middle of the night."
"I only found out about this a few days ago when I overheard Mr. Chen talking about it."
As the censor Zhongcheng, Chen Ning always takes care of newcomers like them.
But Gu Chen knew that Chen Ning was Hu Weiyong's man and the boss of Yushitai.
That memorial letter was probably written by him in Brother Chen's memorial letter.
Then he told himself that Chen Baochuan had read one of his books.
The thief shouts to catch the thief. This is...
"It's really hard to be an official."
Gu Chen pinched a hazelnut kernel with his hand, threw it into his mouth, drank it and burned it with a knife, his tone was a bit melancholy.
"Brother Chen, otherwise, you say I should just submit my resignation and go home. Being a businessman is much more enjoyable than doing this job."
He has many ways to make money, but he has never had time to implement them.
"Resign?"
Chen Baochuan shook his head, but he did not approve of this approach at all.
"If you resign, will Su County Magistrate still be willing to marry the girl to you?"
Back then, the original owner was selected for the imperial examination and made eye contact with the daughter of the county magistrate on the street.
Nasu County Magistrate felt that he was a promising person in the imperial examination.
So he didn't refuse, but he didn't agree either, he just put it off.
The next year, after he passed through, he successfully became a Jinshi and became a junior censor.
Although the official position is small, it should not be underestimated.
Because when the emperor goes to court in the morning, only officials of sixth rank or above are eligible to go to court.
However, Yanguan and recorded historical documents are exceptions.
Although his rank is not high enough, he can go up to the court to meet the emperor, admonish the emperor, and criticize the emperor. No, he can participate in hundreds of official honors.
Su Xian Cheng was happy, so he nodded and agreed to the marriage.
Although Gu Chen had no feelings for her, looking at the girl's shy and timid appearance, he knew that she and her original owner were deeply in love.
If I don't agree, I don't know why this girl will be sad?
He is a good man, how can he let other girls feel sad?
So, it was decided reluctantly.
But because the family was poor, they had never been able to raise enough money to hire Yan, so the marriage was delayed for three years.
If he loses his official position, Su County Prime Minister will definitely break off the engagement.
"It's hard to be a man."
what to do?
Where can I get some money?
The kind that won't be framed or targeted?
Unexpectedly, Li Jin personally came to the door with money on the next day.
It turns out that the place he lives in is really poor, and what he eats is rice soup and white flour steamed buns.
"You can eat white flour steamed buns now, which is already a sign of great divine grace."
"Lord Gu, you must not be dissatisfied. You must know that many people among the people still don't have enough to eat."
He was telling the truth, but it was somewhat uncomfortable to stand and talk.
"Yes, Lord Angel is right." Gu Chen said with a serious face: "This official is also from a poor family, which is already very good."
"Without His Majesty's kindness, I wouldn't be able to eat black-faced steamed buns, let alone white-faced steamed buns..."
You, a great eunuch, have good food and meat every day, how can you know his suffering?
