Chapter 51: Running a Family and Raising a Family
79_79301 Bu Xihuan's eyes deepened when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "What you want to see is the family background of the prefectures in the DPRK and China." β
Twilight sat down at the table and picked up the stack of silver tickets one by one, and the silver tickets were stamped with the big seal of the silver number in Shengjing City, as well as the small seals of each prefecture, and at a glance you could tell which mansion it was. Not every one of the silver tickets she won tonight was in the denomination of 1,000 taels, and many of them were smaller. The children of Beijing have a good face, and when they go out, they look at a pile of silver tickets in their arms, but in fact, there are only a few large decorated facades, and the rest are small ones.
From these silver tickets, we can see the status of these children in Beijing in the family, and we can get a glimpse of the family background of each prefecture.
For example, the Cao family, Twilight Qing got the largest denomination of silver tickets stamped with the small seal of Cao's mansion, and the total amount was nearly 10,000 taels! Cao Zi'an, the concubine of Cao Shangshu Mansion, can really be regarded as wealthy, even if his mother is the daughter of the Xie family, the amount of his pocket money is amazing enough, and the silver tickets of more than ten people such as Ji Yan add up to only 30,000 taels, you can imagine how thick the foundation of Cao Mansion is.
Twilight pushed the silver ticket to Bu Xihuan and said, "It's so much in one night, it's really unimaginable for ordinary people." β
When her father was alive, her annual salary was only four taels of silver, and she and her father were frugal, and two taels of silver could be used for a year.
The silver she won tonight may not be the overnight pocket money of these noble children, maybe it is a monthly example, maybe it is saved on weekdays, and it is carried on her body every day to fill the faΓ§ade, but this is enough.
Bu Xihuan lazily took it over and took a look, and said lightly: "The gate valve of the scholar clan, the prince of the old world, the family background is naturally thick." These people you see tonight are all going to be officials in the future, and you see that they are the material for officials? β
"I see they're all money-making fodder." Twilight sneered, these children of the big families, they learn from the family, it is very easy for them to enter the office, and those who are talented and untalented can enter the office, even if they are untalented concubines, each government will donate an official child in order to look good, seek an idle errand, and lead the court's servants to eat a lifetime of empty salary. And the sons in law of each province are even worse, and those who have talent and learning are not enough, and those who are not talented will also be recommended by the family to become officials, and most of them are for the benefit of the family, and there are too few who really serve the country and the people.
The disadvantages of the scholar system are quite serious, those who are officials are not socialists, and those who want to be socialists are not easy to become officials, and the system of officials in Daxing has reached the time when it must be reformed.
It's just that Bu Xihuan has not yet been pro-government, reform is not easy, and the time has not yet come, so Twilight Qing did not say much about the idea of reforming the election system.
"There is no poor door in the middle of the court, and it is indeed necessary to select talents, but the time has not yet come." Bu Xihuan casually puts the silver ticket on the table, and his thoughts coincide with Twilight.
But as soon as the silver ticket was put down, he picked it up again, counted it and smiled, "I won more than 40,000 taels of silver in one night, I want to see how much you can win in the next few days." β
Ji Yan and the others tonight are just her bait, and the next ones are the fish, she is going to set off a big storm in Shengjing!
Most of the wind and rain in Shengjing City are dangerous, if it was in the past, he would have worried about her, but now she has solved the case in the middle of the court, and has already become a thorn in the eyes of the courtiers, and it is also dangerous not to set off the wind and waves.
"Then we have to see how many people come, I'm just afraid that after this time, no one will dare to gamble with me anymore, otherwise when the treasury has no money, I will gamble a few times to ensure emergency." Twilight Road.
Bu Xihuan was stunned, and then laughed, he changed his appearance, although his face was ordinary, his eyes were like lake waves, and everyone was drunk, "Mrs. is really a good housekeeper, and a good wife is also." β
Who is his wife!
Twilight's face was cold, but she didn't bother to argue, it was useless to argue, this person didn't have a memory, but he had no face. Compared to this, she needs to correct him more, "This is not called running a family, this is called raising a family." The saved is called the housekeeper, and the earned back is called the family, don't be mistaken about the concept. β
"Hmm." Bu Xi laughed more happily, she was serious, she couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake, and ignoring the lady's title was already a gratifying progress. He put the silver tickets away and said with a smile, "I will run the house for my husband in the future." β
Twilight walked over with an expressionless face, took the stack of silver tickets out of Bu Xihuan's arms again, and said, "I'll keep these silver tickets and use them, and I'll give them to you after I finish the case." β
Bu Xi smiled and stroked the placket of her chest, and just then she reached in, and the place where she touched it was like being scratched by a cat's paws, and it tasted very itchy. His eyes deepened, he suddenly smiled, reached out and took the silver ticket back and put it back in his arms, and said, "I'll give it to you when I go home, it's not safe for you to hold it along the way." β
Twilight Qing frowned when she heard this, Ji Yan and the others just lost tonight, and they haven't lost to the point where they can't explain to their families, so no one will ambush them on the road, she will go back with the silver ticket tonight, how can it be unsafe on the road?
Just wanted to say, Bu Xihuan had already gotten up and said, "Go home, it's almost the fourth watch, and I will go back to the palace to send you back." β
When Twilight heard this, she nodded, "Okay." β
Bu Xihuan shouldn't have accompanied her to Yuchun Tower tonight, don't think she didn't see it, when she heard that she was coming to Qinglou, the smile on his face was as if it was engraved, and then he asked for a mask and followed, and he didn't even return to the palace. It's almost four shifts now, and the later you go back, the easier it is to have an accident, so it's better to go home sooner.
Twilight thought about this, and left behind the matter of correcting Bu Xihuan's "unsafe" argument, thinking that it was just a silver ticket, and it didn't matter who held it on the road, so she went downstairs with Bu Xihuan.
She walked ahead, not seeing the rich smile in the eyes of the man behind her.
When she arrived at the lobby, the turtle slave who welcomed Duqing in had heard about her winning, and greeted her with a smile on her face, and asked, "The governor has very high gambling skills, and the little one admires it!" It's late at night, so do you want to pick a few girls to see? β
"No need." Twilight walked out directly, the turtle slave was stunned, she was gone, it was nothing, but the money hadn't been paid yet!
The turtle slave smiled, and just wanted to speak, two silver tickets came in front of him, and Bu Xihuan gave the silver tickets to the turtle slave and followed the twilight out of the Yuchun Building.
"How much was given?" After walking out of the long street, Twilight asked.
"Two thousand taels."
"......" Twilight didn't speak for a long time.
"How?" Bu Xihuan asked.
"It seems that in addition to raising a family and running a family, I should tell you again what a loser is."
ββ¦β¦β
Back at the Governor's Mansion, Twilight Qing went directly into the attic, and after going upstairs, he said, "Okay, give me the silver ticket, you go back to the palace." β
"Okay." Bu Xihuan agreed happily, and when she touched her hand in her arms, she suddenly stretched out her hand, pulled Twilight's hand that reached out to ask for a silver ticket, and took her into her arms.
Twilight was furious, and the man smiled heavily above her head, and said, "If you want a silver ticket, you can get it." β
Twilight Qing was stunned for a moment, and then her face became even colder, and then she understood why someone had to hold the silver ticket by herself, afraid that it would be false that the road would be unsafe, and it would be true to trick her into taking it from his arms again!
Knowing Bu Xihuan's intentions, Twilight naturally wouldn't follow him, but he seemed to know her temperament too well, and when he brought her into his arms, he grabbed her waist with one hand, pinched her wrist vein with the other, and even clicked the acupoint on her leg by the way, so that she couldn't take out the scalpel, and couldn't even step on him.
This person usually looks slow, always careless and lazy, but acts like thunder, does not drag the mud and water at all, and does not miss anything.
"If you don't want to go back to the palace, you ......" Twilight naturally refused to give in, but before she finished speaking, her lips were gagged.
The man's kiss is not as shallow as in the past, and kissing her is like a storm, deeply entangled, as if she is going to die and linger, and the sky is barren and old. But this kiss was actually short-lived, only extremely deep, Bu Xihuan untied her hole when she let go of Twilight, Twilight's eyes were dark, and she was still dizzy, and she didn't know when she was stuffed with a silver ticket in her hand.
"I really don't want to go back to the palace." Bu Xihuan sighed, he never wanted to enter the palace, but the situation was pressing, "Rest, you don't have to go to Yuchun Tower early at night, wait for me to come." β
With that, he picked up Twilight and sent her to the bed, this time he didn't order her sleeping hole, just covered her with a quilt and put the bed tent and went out of the attic.
Twilight really didn't go to Yuchun Tower early the next day, she didn't want to wait for a while, but to let the children of Jingzhong wait for more hours to be good for her, the more anxious they waited, the more anxious they would be to gamble, and the heart was not quiet, and gambling money was naturally beneficial to her.
When Bu Xihuan came, Moon Kill sent a mask, and after putting it on, it turned out to be Moon Kill's face.
Last night, I was in a hurry, so I could only find a mask at random, but there were still people in Beijing who knew what kind of soldiers were around Twilight, and just in case, Bu Xi Huan Yue Kill prepared his own mask and presented it. It's just a day, Wei Zhuozhi is not in the city, Twilight Qing doesn't know who made this mask, but he wants to come to Xihuan has his own way, last time he gave her the hidden stake of the Piercing Moon Gate in Shengjing City, the Piercing Moon Gate is a Jianghu sect, this kind of thing is naturally good at it.
When the two arrived at Yuchun Tower, it was the third watch, the same hour as last night, but the Yuchun Tower was completely different from last night.
In the lobby, Ji Yan was the leader, there were thirty or forty children from Beijing, and the door of the upstairs private room was open tonight, the table was moved out, and many people sat around the table, looking at the railing, obviously the news of last night had spread, and they were all here to see the gambling game tonight.
Yuchun Building is an official green building, but tonight it is as lively as a gambling house!
Twilight was stunned, not because of the lively scene in this building, but because of the people who came, "Why are you here?" β
Yuan Xiu stood in the middle of the hall, staring at her.
He didn't know about this in the early days, but he only knew it when he met Ji Yan on the way back to the house, I heard that she came to Yuchun Tower last night, and she will come tonight, how can he rest assured? After he knew about this, he wanted to go to her house to persuade her not to come, after all, this place is a green building, she is a woman, and it is not suitable to come to such a place, but thinking that she should not come here out of curiosity, but more like to investigate the case, even so, she will not listen to persuading her, so he can only follow to take a look.
"I heard that you are good at gambling, come and take a look." Yuan Xiu squeezed out a smile, it was the first time he had come back to such a place!
Twilight raised her eyebrows, and then looked at the person upstairs, what is Hu Yanhao doing again? .
