038 Qing Sanye became an official
[Chapter Word Count:3165 Last Updated:2014-09-3007:00:00.0]
Under the bright candlelight, Fu Hui accompanied Xiao Lotian to drink as the host, he was in a good mood today, and Xiao Lotian was bored with all the cups full of Fu Hui.
Fu Hui also drank a few glasses with him, his cheeks were flushed, and he didn't know if he was excited for his brother or because the wine was too strong, or for some other reason.
Fu Hui was a little distracted, she recalled the long running experience she had started a year ago, and even tears in her eyes when she thought of the unbearable place. Her brother was aggrieved in Xiling, and she couldn't show her ambitions, how could she, who was a sister, not feel heartache.
Thinking about it, she thought it would be better to change her brother to an errand, and what could she do if she was young enough to be in the Tomb Guard. But after Fu Hui began to operate this matter, the sisters who used to be good at honey and oil began to be sloppy one by one, and the expressions on their faces became more and more strange.
Fu Hui knows that now the Qing Dynasty wants to run an errand out, especially those errands with a lot of oil and water, it is not possible to open the way without silver, for example, Fu Hui wanted to seek a position in the imperial dining room a few years ago, but he didn't expect words to come out of the palace, for the sake of the face of the imperial family, he opened his mouth to ask for 80,000 taels of silver.
Look, this is still for the sake of the royal family's face, and you are rich and wise, don't be too expensive, this is the price set by Father-in-law An himself, and no one wants to change it. Besides, outsiders open their mouths to ask for 100,000 yuan, and it is already a big face to be able to give you Fuhui a 20% discount.
Poor Fuhui sisters and brothers can't make up the astronomical amount of 80,000 taels even if they sell the house, so they can only regret it. In the Qing Dynasty, selling officials has become an industry, and the real price is clear, and you are absolutely guaranteed to have after-sales service, as long as you have silver, there must be an official position suitable for you.
But for Fuqing, silver is the most difficult. Fuqing, a small official bought by a few thousand taels, must not do it, and if the third master of Qing, who is dignified and has a title, does the work of a small official, it will become the laughing stock of Sijiu City. But an errand that is slightly worthy of the identity starts at least 40,000 taels of silver, which makes Fu Hui where to raise it!
It's not just a matter of money, but what makes Fu Hui feel even more chilling is the humiliation of her dignity, in the process of begging people everywhere, she has been hinted by stinky men more than once to let her sleep, looking at those goosebump-haired old princes and old marquis, Fu Hui almost vomited disgustingly. Although she is outgoing, she is not a self-degrading woman, and he can't do anything to sell herself.
The problem of finding an errand for his brother troubled him for half a year, and later Fan Yao knew the difficulties of his sister and brother, and after sponsoring 50,000 taels of silver, things finally developed in a good direction.
And today, Prince Gong actually summoned his brother in person, and Xiao Letian also said conclusively that there was good news, which made Fu Hui not excited. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, when the foreigner's table clock was about to point to nine o'clock, there was a sudden chaos at the gate.
Fu Hui stood up all of a sudden, walked two or three steps to hold on to the door, and at this time, Fu Qing, who was flushed, had already rushed in, and the joy on his face couldn't be stopped.
"Sister, Prince Gong rewarded me with the crown of the Prime Minister Yamen Sipin Zhangjing, let me take office in three days, specialize in studying the affairs of the special industrial zone mentioned by Brother Xiao, and let me enter the palace tomorrow to face the saint!" After speaking, he rushed to the wine table and didn't need a wine cup, and he took three big mouths at the wine jug.
At this time, the flower hall was already crowded with people, these are the old people who have followed the Fuqing family for two or three generations, most of them are born to the family, everyone blew up when they heard the good news, and people covered their faces and cried excitedly.
"Prime Minister Yamen! Sipin Zhangjing, isn't that just walking beside the prince? With the support of the prince, our family is finally going to prosper......
"Great mercy and compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, tomorrow I will go to the temple to offer incense, and bless the young master all the way to the top!"
Fu Hui was already drunk at this time, she looked at her brother and then at Xiao Letian, who was squinting at him, as if she suddenly understood something. She straightened her face and walked in front of Xiao Letian with a deep blessing, "Thank you, Brother Xiao......"
"Haha, don't thank me, this can only say that there are smart people in the palace! But I can tell the third master in advance, entering the prime minister's yamen is different from the Xiling Protector, the water there is unfathomable, don't be strong when you just go, I'm afraid that your brain will be flood......ed with idealism."
"Listen to you, listen to you!" Qing Sanye poured his wine glass and toasted Xiao Letian, "Actually, what the prince said is very clear, he just hopes that I will let Brother Xiao give more advice." Originally, the solution of the special industrial zone was proposed by you, since you are not willing to take the lead, then let me help you realize your ambitions...... Cheers......"
Xiao Lotian smiled bitterly and drank this cup, thinking in his heart Silly third master, do you really think this is a fragrant dumpling? When you take over, you will know, this is a stinky quagmire that you can't imagine, and all forces can put on any ugly show in order to compete for power. Sooner or later, your ideals and ambitions will be smoothed out.
Since Fuqing will enter the palace tomorrow, he can't drink too much wine, so Xiao Letian left early. Fu Hui did everything to keep Xiao Letian and didn't agree, but only replied: "Tomorrow is the temple fair of the City God Temple, I have already made an appointment to go shopping with the tiger girl, this can't be delayed, and I will leave......"
As soon as Fu Hui heard this, he couldn't keep it, so he could only send more people to escort him. What was unexpected was that under the escort of the two masters Wang Huaiyuan and Sima Yun, plus the personal soldiers of the Fuqing family, a man in black slowly approached them.
In the dark night, the double sedan chair walked forward slowly, Xiao Letian was sleepy, and six big men were on guard outside the sedan chair. But on the roof to their left, a man in a nightcoat was unhurriedly embellishing them, his eyes shining as bright as stars.
What's even more bizarre is that this man didn't just pay attention to Xiao Letian and his party, the corner of his eye was still locked on a figure on the roof opposite, he was too familiar with that figure, "Eagle? Nan Shaolin is a rare martial arts genius in the past fifty years, how could he appear in Beijing City? Doesn't it mean that he took refuge in Changmao? Wulin hasn't seen him for more than ten years......"
The man in black knew that he and the eagle had the same goal, which was Xiao Letian in the alley, but it was obvious that the man's kung fu was slightly better, because the eagle didn't find out about his existence along the way.
Just when Xiao Letian's sedan chair turned an intersection, and the lantern at the entrance of Fan's house was already seen in the distance, the black-clothed man on the roof suddenly felt cold, and a murderous aura came from behind. When he dodged the killer blow like a tanuki, he noticed that the eagle had dodged behind him.
"Huh, Fuso Ninjutsu, Eagle, you actually learned the afterimage technique, no wonder you can sneak around behind me?"
"Who are you, and why are you following me?" the eagle stared at the man in black, but in exchange for a contemptuous look at the corner of the man's mouth, "Defeat me, you will naturally know the answer......" said the whole person like a light cloud swooping towards the eagle.
In the dark night, a few dark clouds covered the moonlight, and between the roofs of the dark capital, it was like two more silent tanuki, and there was only a fatal killing intent in the combination of fists and feet, but there was no sound at all.
The entangled black shadows floated strangely around the city of Beijing, drifting from the roofs to the gardens of other people's houses, climbing over the high courtyard walls, and flying over the long streets behind the night watchmen, which did not alarm any living people except for a few cats and dogs barking wildly.
The iron talons crushed the wall bricks like tofu, and the iron fists of the men in black struck the thick trunks of the trees, and the fists and feet hit each other, and there was always a dark vibration of dust on the ground flying around like a shock wave.
In the end, the eagle and the man in black flew in mid-air in Beijing like two big birds, fighting from the south to the north and finally disappeared.
This is a duel of masters that no one knows, and in comparison, Xiao Hexin and Sima Yun's kung fu are completely three-legged cats, because from beginning to end, they didn't even find the storage of the two masters.
Early the next morning, Xiao Lotian was woken up by the tiger girl, today is the day of the Beijing City God Temple Fair, the little girl has not been visited, but with the lover to visit the temple fair, it feels completely different.
A pair of young men and women, under the secret protection of Xiao Hexin, Wang Huaiyuan and Sima Yun, soon came to the crowded Chenghuangmiao Street in the north of the crowded downtown entrance. When I look at this, Xiao Lotian was completely convinced by the ancients, where is this temple fair, this is purely a happy carnival.
Both sides of the street are full of stalls of small traders, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, pots and pans are everything, there are those who play tricks, lion dances and gonghou, and the unique western samples of the late Qing Dynasty, and the whole street has become a sea of joy.
Adults shout at children, and the sound of bargaining is endless, which is also mixed with the aroma of bursts of snacks, large bowls of tea, rotten meat noodles, thin-skinned wontons, and donkeys rolling...... A variety of dazzling snacks and gluttonous Xiao Letian drooled.
The tiger girl was as excited as a three-year-old child, and the change in her purse was taken out like running water, and even the foreign money that Xiao Letian was carrying made her steal a lot.
"Wonton! thin-skinned little wonton, I love this bite the most......" Hu Niu said and ran forward with her hand out, "Boss, come with two bowls of wontons......" Xiao Letian looked at Hu Niu with a smile and shook his head, and looked back to see Xiao Hexin and the three of them followed him within five steps.
"The three of you can also eat a bowl, I will treat you today......" Just as Xiao Lotian turned his head and wanted to walk towards the wonton stall, he was suddenly shocked and his hair stood up. Why is Tiger Girl's blink of an eye gone?
Xiao Lotian looked left and right, thinking that the little girl had gone to buy something, but he couldn't find it.
"You three come here, where is the tiger girl? Why is there no one when I turn my head?" Xiao Hexin and they were also stupid, so they hurriedly rushed up, and looked around and really couldn't find anyone.
"Boss, what about the little girl who asked you for wontons?" Xiao Lotian asked sharply as he grabbed the stall owner's sleeve.
"This ...... I heard a girl shouting two bowls of wontons, but no one came to me! I thought I had heard a bad listen......
It's broken, it's really an accident now, and the tiger girl is lost.
