"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...Auntie, you know that Long Live the Lord will take charge of the throne this year. He is at the age when he is young and promising. The new emperor may be the one who takes office, so he may have to take action on his nephew!"
"I'm going to cut you open. You conscienceless thing, go away and cry! The river worker's money is related to people's life and death. How dare you touch this kind of money?"
"I won't care about you. You can die wherever you want... If Lord Long Live asks me, I will be the first to kill my relatives out of justice!"
Fuhui threw the cup and turned around and walked down the other side of the pavilion. She returned to the bedroom and asked the maid to close the door!
Zhu Bao was immediately stunned. He knelt on the ground with a dull expression on his face. He never expected that Fu Hui was so cruel. Although he was cruel in his heart, he did not dare to show it on his face.
He got up and trotted to the door of Fu Hui's bedroom. He knelt down with a thud and said, "Aunt, please help me... My nephew is helpless. I can't do anything!"
Zhu Bao, who was wiping his tears, said aggrievedly, "It's not like I don't know what the officialdom is like nowadays. Although my nephew has become the prefect of Jining, Jining is not a wealthy place with developed commerce, and its area is also small." The whole of Shandong is only a little bigger than Linqing Prefecture..."
"You are so poor, my nephew's salary is not enough to spend! The prefect's annual salary is 105 taels, and the salary is 105 dendrobium. The maximum amount of money for raising a good person is 5,000 taels... What is enough for you? Huohao can't eat at all now, you You can’t let me make money from unjust cases, right?”
"That is the real life money! My nephew has no skills, and he is not like Han Qingliu or anything like that. If he has good calligraphy and good articles, he can exchange for some writing fees!"
"Is Zuo Ji high-definition high-definition? One word can cost you a thousand taels of polish. I don't have the ability!"
There was a bang... I don't know what was broken in the room, and then Fu Hui's angry voice came from "Is it to make money for you to be an official? Don't forget that you are a banner man. You already have more than one Here’s the flag pay!”
"Don't you have a share in the family's property? I have done so much business in the special zone for my family, and you didn't get a hundred or eighty thousand bonus that year?"
"It is said that the prefect will be cleared of one hundred thousand snowflakes of silver in three years. Now I can give you one hundred thousand in one year just from the property I give to the family. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Including the royalties, the income from the family manor, and your salary, your annual income of 150,000 to 60,000 yuan, why is it not enough? You said you don't have enough money, but you bought a three-bedroom concubine just this year. Are you still saying you don’t have any money?”
"It's hard to satisfy your desires! Are you obsessed with money? Get away from me, don't ask me to lift a finger for you..."
Zhu Bao's face turned red and white, and in the end he couldn't bear it anymore. "Aunt... you have stayed in Tanggu for too long. Have you forgotten what officialdom is like?"
"This is the Qing Dynasty, not Xiao Letian's Chinese...there are a bunch of dirty officials here, and the water is very dirty!"
"You asked me where all the money went, and my nephew is not afraid of your laughter. Hasn't the money been mixed into this basin of dirty water? Aren't the officials on both sides of the Grand Canal complaining endlessly!"
"Not to mention anything else, I can't even afford to pay for officials to come and go in this wine shop!"
"I am a fourth-grade official, and I am one of the best in the official system of the Qing Dynasty! When an official of the same level passes by Jining, how can I not show my kindness to the landlord? If I am a higher-ranking official, why don't I quickly send my handbook to ask for help? Do you want to show off your family?"
"My aunt, do you know how much a table of Bazhen noodles costs today? It can't be done without a hundred silver dollars. The better ones even cost more than a hundred taels of silver!"
"Where will all this money be reimbursed? In the past, there was fire consumption in the yamen, but now there is no fire consumption. Do I have to find a way to raise money myself?"
"Just last month, Dexi, a close confidant of Prince Qing's family, passed by Jining on an errand in Jiangnan. It was Prince Qing's family who gave birth to a son. He is his most trusted confidant. Can I entertain him?"
"It cost more than a thousand taels of silver to eat, drink and bring wine... and that's not all! When he was half drunk, Dexi actually talked about the famous dishes in the capital! "
"It is said that a famous chef from the south of the Yangtze River retrieved the famous dish of the Northern Song Dynasty from ancient books!"
"My ancestor, I heard him say that he wanted the tongues of a thousand oriole birds, pluck them out raw and fry them into a dish. What you eat is crispy and fresh!"
"Then Dexi can tell me, can't I still listen to my nephew? He wants to ask me for this famous dish..."
"How can an oriole with a melodious voice cost two taels of silver on the market today? This dish costs two thousand taels! My ancestors, even if I had this money, I would not be able to find so many oriole birds at once. ah!"
"I searched all the bird markets in Jining, but I couldn't get that many! Finally, my cook came up with a way to mix the tongues of 200 orioles with the tongues of 800 sparrows to see if he could You can’t cheat!”
Zhu Bao was also really aggrieved. Thinking of the scene at that time, he couldn't help wiping away tears, "I always thought that Dexi was just a braggart, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect that he would actually eat this kind of food!" "
"After two chopsticks, I stopped eating, and my face darkened. I spoke in a weird and arrogant way... What I said about not giving him face was that I was not giving the prince face. He also said that I would not treat him or not, and he actually lied to me even though I was treating him!"
"Now my nephew believes that he can really eat it. Only then does he believe that the capital has really produced such cruel dishes in the past two years! What else can I say? Just apologize..."
"In the end, he coaxed and persuaded, and before leaving, he sealed a red envelope worth 3,000 taels for tea and wine. This made Dexi smile a little!"
"My aunt! You said that my nephew is shameless. Do you know how shameless those people in the capital are now! I haven't returned to the capital in the past few years. How could I know that the current atmosphere has become a hundred times worse than before! "
"When I was still in the capital, there was no such unscrupulous dish, and no one was so extravagant! What happened now? This kind of dish can become popular..."
"You said I earn 150,000 to 60,000 yuan a year, but the money for the banquets I bring to you costs 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver a year! Who can survive if I offend this huge officialdom?"
"I don't even dare to mess with those who are lower than me! Officials from the fifth and fourth ranks pass by me. It stands to reason that I should wait for them to give gifts, right?"
"But that doesn't work. I still have to find the master to explore the way and carefully inquire about the details of this little official... If he comes from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel, the Prime Minister's Office and other red yamen, I still have to ask others to do things. It's the same You have to treat us to dinner too!”
"By the way... half a year ago, Liu Peiqi, the head of the fourth rank of the Ministry of Revenue, passed by Jining. I am a fourth rank official, and he is a junior fourth rank, but he is from the Ministry of Husbandry, and he is a direct descendant of Yang Zhi!"
"In the future, I will have to ask for help from others when I need money... but it turns out that I, the fourth grade, serve people's guests from the fourth grade just like my grandson!"
"A meal costs more than two hundred taels... Who should I ask to reimburse it!"
