The sun is shining brightly today, the wind is gentle, and the many days of rain and snow have long since ended. The sky is also the cleanest color. Zhang Jingjunhao and others arrived at Yingtian Mansion one day after Wang Bu died.
The Zhang family is indeed one of the richest people in Songjiang Prefecture. The group of several people came in a four-wheeled car.
The Zhang family is rich, and they will not wrong themselves when they go out, let alone their friends.
Zhang Jinghui spent a lot of money to buy an inn, and after arranging everyone's arrangements, she went to the British government office.
Several Dukes held multiple positions and were very busy at work. In a quaintly decorated house, three Dukes were sitting around a table. Duke Min was probably unwell, so he was not present.
"Hey, tell me, why is Lao Wang so troubled and resigned?" Zhang Luzi sighed as he grabbed the poker in his hand.
Well, you can’t ask too much of people at such an old age to sacrifice their lives and blood for the Ming Empire all the time. Work and rest together. Only by having a good rest can they work better. No, for people at such an old age. No, they don’t like watching TV or visiting brothels. Playing cards is also a reasonable entertainment activity.
"Who says it's not the case? Lao Wang quits, leaving the three of us alone and helpless." Qian Song, the Duke of Zhenguo, also agreed.
We are all brothers who have shouldered the gun together. Suddenly there is one less person and the air we breathe is no longer fresh.
"Old Qian, watch your words, it's hard to speak alone." Ding Guogong Song Qian made adjustments to Zhen Guogong's temporary speech disorder.
The British Duke Zhang Donkey is brave, the Zhen Guo Duke Qian Song is good at managing money, the Ding Guo Duke Song Qian is good at running the army, and the Min Guo Duke is good at keeping righteousness. It can be said that the three scumbags of the British Duke Zhen Guo Gong Ding Guo are worthy of a Min Guo Gong. . It has to be said that Wang Shouyi's departure is a major loss to the Guogong faction.
"When Lao Wang left, my heart always felt empty."
"Me too, me too,"
"Hey, pay attention to your cards and don't throw them in."
It is estimated that they are afraid that the fighting between the various factions will be too fierce and affect the normal work of each yamen. The three yamen of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Punishment are together, and the Ministry of Hubu, Military, and Industry, controlled by the Guogong faction, is located far away from the other three. There is some distance from the Yamen.
Well, the brick of the Ming Empire has appeared again. As the ancient saying goes, those who are close to vermillion are red and those who are close to ink are black. Bad people are surrounded by bad people, and those who stand guard in front of bad people will not be much better. Although they are not morally corrupt, they are not morally corrupt. There is no fine tradition of helping others.
On the contrary, a good person's friends are all good people, and a good person's door is also a good person.
There is no limit to being a bad person and it is easy, but if you want to be a good person, you always have to pay something and sacrifice something.
It has to be said that Comrade Erniu has paid too much in order to adapt to the changing personality at any time. If he did not have a heart that is loyal and unbreakable, Erniu would probably have a split personality.
I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune, but it’s Er Niu’s turn to stand guard here today. Maybe he is emotionally strong and needs a bed, or maybe Zhu Xiluo simply wants to save some compact land resources and reduce unnecessary expenses. The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry are actually in the same courtyard. The work of the Ministry of Household Affairs is only to collect taxes and calculate the income and expenditure for a year. After all, wage arrears were normal in the Ming Empire. The salary payment situation of various officials took three to five days from the Ministry of Household Affairs. It can be clearly calculated, so the busy time of the Ministry of Household Affairs is at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, and the Ministry of War, well, is a department completely ignored by Zhu Xiluo. Training and recruiting soldiers are all the responsibilities of the Ministry of Military Affairs, and are controlled by Zhu Xiluo himself. The main task of the Ministry of War now is to hammer iron, no, to forge iron, and to make armor and equipment. And due to financial problems, the purchase of coal for the Ministry of War is a problem. Therefore, the Ministry of War is now a leisurely Qingshui Yamen suitable for retirement, just like the religious affairs of later generations. graduate School. As for the Ministry of Works, well, it was responsible for all urban construction work in the Ming Empire. Compared with the other two yamen, it was still busier. But, well, Zhang Luzi was old and couldn't do the heavy physical labor of shaking rocks and hammers.
Due to the nature of their work, the units where the three princes worked were deserted. If it weren't for the majesty of the Ming Empire that cannot be tarnished, several princes would have the idea of renting out their yamen to film and television companies to make ghost movies, which would also give them an extra job. income.
"I'd like to trouble this eldest brother to go and report it. The daughter of the people has something to ask to see the British duke." A voice suddenly appeared in front of Er Niu.
Erniu felt a gust of fragrant wind coming over him. He looked up and saw a fairy-like person appearing in front of him. Erniu, who was not highly educated, could only use his limited idioms to describe the beauty he saw. , "overwhelming the country and the city".
Well, here are a few words about the Qingguo Qingcheng. Bangu of the Eastern Han Dynasty wrote in "The Book of Han·Mrs. Xiaowu Li's Biography": "There is a beautiful woman in the north, peerless and independent. She looks at the Qingren city and then the Qingren country." Later, the beauty was described. The son has "the country is overturned and the city is overturned". Mrs. Li is the wife of Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty Liu Che. She is not very famous, but everyone knows her grandson, Liu He, King of Changyi.
"This beauty, no, girl, you are talking to me." Erniu couldn't believe it. Although he had been serving the important task of guarding the Ming Empire, he saw so many people every day, and it was not like he had never seen beautiful women before. , but like the person in front of him, Erniu can swear that he may not be able to see her in this life, no, the next life, and the next life. Suddenly Erniu has an extravagant wish, willing to be the dust under her feet and bear the burden of thirty million people. The trampling is only for you to stand up once.
"Yes, this eldest brother, the little girl is the granddaughter of the British father-in-law. Grandpa didn't pick up the phone. I have something urgent and I want to see him." After saying this, Zhang Jinghui took out a banknote in her hand. This is the rule of the Ming Empire not to go public. , as long as people do things, they have to pay money.
"It turns out it's Miss Zhang. You're polite." Erniu clasped his fists and bowed, but did not accept the banknote. "Miss, you're too polite. It's natural for a girl to come to the Duke of the country to inform you. It's also the duty of a villain." How can I accept the girl's benefit from the task? The weather is cold, please let the girl wait in the ear room, I will go and report it now."
The banknote was not sent out, and Zhang Jinghui didn't take it seriously. There are thousands of bad people, but you can always find a good person.
I followed Er Niu to the ear room. Although the condition of the ear room was not very good and there was no stove, there was still hot water. "I dare to ask this big brother his name."
"I don't dare to be a kid. I don't dare to be a little Kong Erniu. They all call me Erniu." Er Niu was a little shy. This was the first time that a superior person asked him the name of this inferior person.
"Okay, I'll remember it, thank you Brother Erniu",
"It should, it should," he poured a cup of hot tea for Zhang Jinghui, reluctantly looked away, and Erniu left the ear room and trotted towards the Yamen.
The male protagonist not only has many friends around him, but also many capable people. For example, Zhu Wuyi, the laziest but most noble member of the Wang family,
Zhu Xiluo has always been unknown. His only role in the Wang family is to solve the problem of leftovers in the Wang family and avoid the waste of food. No one thought that Zhu Xiluo is the biggest rich man. If Zhu Xiluo is willing, the Wang family can also become From the Zhu family.
No one is willing to leave their hometown unless they are forced by life. Of course, Zhu Wuyi is a special case. He is simply full and has too much free time every day to consume. He runs out to find a happy life where he dreams about himself and no one checks his homework. , of course he has the status of a person who has been through it. If a young man does not work hard, he will be miserable. If he is not educated, it is difficult to cheat money.
Home is a warm harbor, a place that warms your heart. However, home is also a shackles. You can do this and you can't do this. When you grow up, you will realize that, well, what they said is right, but you are in the rebellious period of youth. Zhu Xiluo doesn't think so.
Seeing the familiar big house, Zhu Xiluo wouldn't have wanted to come back so early if it weren't for his master.
Huang, the empress who lives aloof from the world, is watching a bloody love drama with a piece of paper beside her to wipe her tears and nose. Well, there are a lot of them, enough to burn at the ancestor's grave.
"Scumbag, green tea bitch, I wish you all the best for renting a house without bringing your ID card." It was probably because of being inspired by the TV series that the gentle and elegant Huang became a little angry.
"Mom, I'm back." Pushing open the warm door, Zhu Wuju appeared in Kunning Palace.
After stopping sobbing, Mr. Huang turned to look in the direction of the sound, "Oh, it's Wu Ju, you little boy. You're so fat, my mother didn't even recognize you for a while."
Um, okay, this is a normal behavior only for a mother.
You have a broad heart and a fat body. If you want to gain weight, you must first have a strong heart. Of course, you have been hit hard since childhood. Faced with my mother’s ridicule without any sense of guilt, Zhu Wuyi chose to forgive, “Mom, I just miss you. of".
"Don't bully your mother for studying well. Your mother only listens to tea and doesn't think about food."
"Mom, don't worry about these little details." Zhu Wuyu sat down next to Mr. Huang and held Mr. Huang's warm hand. "Mom, you just need to remember that I am your biological son. I will break the bones and connect the tendons."
"Tsk, stop saying such disgusting words to corrode your mother's heart, which has been stabbed countless times by you."
"Um, mother, is there some misunderstanding here! Are you sure it's your son who hurts you?"
"Who else could it be if you weren't you? Where is my jade cicada, and where is my money?" Huang is still bitter about the fact that half of her life's savings were stolen by a white-eyed wolf.
"Um, mother, what's the relationship between us? Asking for money hurts our feelings." The thick-skinned Zhu Wuyi was a little embarrassed when old things were mentioned. Although those things would eventually become inheritance and become his private property, my mother was still alive. She took them too early, so she must blush.
"No, I will accept the money now,"
"Mom, don't be like this,"
"That's it for me today."
Suddenly, Zhu Wuji's head turned, as if he thought of something, and a smile quickly appeared on his face, "Mom, do you want to make money?"
Seeing her son smiling so obscenely, Mrs. Huang was no longer in the mood to watch TV anymore. She jumped down from her chair, trotted to the desk against the wall, picked up a brick, and took out a brocade handkerchief package. I held the object in my arms, with a face filled with joy of finding it, "Fortunately, you are still there."
"Well, I lost my money and was so sad that I went crazy." Zhu Xiluo didn't understand. The miracle doctor with the elixir had also come to Yingtian Mansion. Why don't he take his mother to have a look.
"Humph, brat, your mother only has two or three dollars now. Don't fool your mother with low investment and big returns. It's all a lie to get returns without paying."
"Um, okay, mother, you have thought about it. You have been in the palace for a long time and don't know about the things outside. You can only buy three buns at most for your three melons and two dates, and they are still plain." Zhu Wuyu gave advice as if he had seen the world.
The Ersha who worked in the city told me the same thing when they came back during the Chinese New Year. They said that people in the city only eat the stuffing and feed the skin to the dogs. Being from the countryside, I am very curious. Who lives in the city can explain it.
"What, your mother has worked so hard for us for half a year, and we can only buy three buns?" She couldn't believe it, and it was hard to accept. Huang felt that the savings she had made for half a year were worse than feeding a dog.
"Mom, it's easy to make money."
"It's okay to make money, but I don't pay for it."
"Don't worry, you don't have to pay a penny."
"I don't want to exert any effort. I'm old, my legs and feet are not good, and I don't have the strength."
"Look what you said, Mom, can I still let you carry sandbags?" He hugged his mother with a smile, "Mom, you just need to do this."
