Feng Shi was already waiting outside the third room here, and hurriedly greeted Mrs. Cui when he saw him come out.

Mrs. Cui was impatient to talk to her, nodded slightly and went out.

Feng was so angry that his back molars were sour.

Xu Ying accompanied Yang back to the room, but her mind was still on Mrs. Cui's previous words.

It is obvious that Mrs. Cui is not sincere in making amends for any crime, and the purpose of the Cui family should still be in the third room. But what is there in the third room for them to plot? At present, their family is most short of money, and what they are trying to do is only money, and the three-room life is quite nourishing, but compared to their uncle's house, this amount of money is not enough to stuff their teeth, right?

She asked Yang: "Did your father leave anything when he was alive?" ”

"Nope." Yang also frowned, and said in a deep voice: "The difference between Cui Lian's accident and your father's accident was only half a year later, and nothing happened in those six months. ”

Xu Ying was silent, "What did your father say after he rescued Cui Lian and came back?" ”

Yang thought about it seriously, and said slowly: "When your father came back, it was already the fifth watch, and he only told me what happened at that time, and then said that Cui Jian took the initiative to propose a marriage contract between Cui Jia and you, and also gave me the token." Nothing else, nothing special. ”

After listening to this, Xu Ying felt more and more confused.

Because Xu Yong was worried about what Xu Ying had told him, when he arrived at the yamen, he was ready to go in when Prince Duan was not busy. But there was a surprisingly large number of official duties today, and it was not until near noon that I was ready to eat that I finally found an opportunity. However, when asked Prince Duan, he said that he had to find Wu Guogong for these things, but Wu Guogong was not familiar with him, so he had to come to Song Che's side after thinking about it.

Song Che was discussing the affairs of Langfang with a few experiences, Xu Yong waited under the corridor for a while, and after dealing with the warm greetings of the little officials, Song Che called him in.

Hearing him ask about donating officials, he thought about it and took down the booklet from the shelf, flipped through it and said: "The imperial examination has been prosperous in recent years, and it may be difficult for the county order to donate anything." There are a few donations under our yamen, but the price is not low. are all above 10,000 taels. As he spoke, he handed him the booklet.

Xu Yong looked at it, and sure enough, he frowned.

Song Che asked, "Who wants to donate officials?" ”

"Oh, not me." Xu Yong closed the booklet and said, "It was Yingying's friend who asked her to ask." ”

When Song Che heard Xu Ying's name, his heart immediately warmed. Since she was her friend, why didn't she come to him herself? Thinking of this, he clenched his fist to cover his lips and coughed, and said, "This matter, I will go to your house to talk about it in detail after I go to the palace." ”

Xu Yong looked at him deeply and didn't say anything. Walked out.

The next morning, Song Che and Xu Yong arrived at Xu's mansion together.

The little prince came to the door again, and this time he returned to the house with Xu Yong, which naturally alarmed the house again. But looking at his face, which was as rigid as a coffin board, no one dared to come up to find bad luck, so he had to wait outside the door of the third room on the orders of the two masters in the mansion to see if there was any dispatch.

The Yang family had to come out to entertain him in person, although Prince Duan and Xu Ying had those words, she didn't say anything different from the last time, after all, she hadn't officially engaged yet, and if there was any accident later. They are too high-profile, and sooner or later they will harm themselves.

Xu Ying was holding a pen and paper to sort out what happened to Cui Chuan back then, and when she heard that Song Chelai also arrived at Xu Yong's courtyard.

The three of them were eating tea on the Hu bed under the window of the east wing of the Fusong Courtyard.

Xu Yong said: "I asked you about the donation, and the adult said that there are a few idle positions under the Chinese army's yamen, but the price is not low." Then he explained the specific situation.

The situation turned out to be similar to what Yuan Ziyi said. Xu Ying didn't expect that even a small official who had not entered the stream would have to pay 10,000 taels of silver, how could the Yuan family get so much money? And if you want to donate, you can't just donate a last stream, no matter what, you have to have six or seven products to be like words. After more than ten years of staying up like this, the two sons of the Yuan family can also go to the top test.

Song Che's attention was always on Xu Ying, and when he saw her talking about other people's affairs, he didn't pay much attention to him. There is a bit of dissatisfaction.

Xu Yong glanced at him twice, and then stood up: "You can talk about specific things, I'll go and see what wine is prepared in the kitchen." ”

Saying that, he gave a salute to Song Che and bowed out the door.

Xu Ying poured tea for Song Che. said: "How much does the little official under the Yamen of the Chinese Army get?" ”

"The lowest from the seven-grade salt transportation envoy experience, ten thousand and seven hundred taels." Song Che took out the booklet in his arms and threw it to her.

After Xu Ying finished reading it, her heart sank again.

Song Che looked at her and frowned, and finally couldn't help asking, "Who are you helping to ask?" ”

Xu Yingxiao looked at him slightly: "It was the night when I had a private meeting with me in Surabaya Nunnery with soju and phoenix feet——"

Song Che squirted out a sip of tea!

As soon as she mentioned Surabaya Nunnery, he remembered that she pounced on him and kissed him!

Xu Ying raised her eyebrows: "What's wrong with my lord?" ”

He looked at her with a red face and reluctantly said, "It's nothing." "After that, I went to look again. She laughed treacherously, glared at her, and looked out the window with her head in one hand.

Xu Ying closed the booklet and said, "Yuan Ziyi's father is good at business, and he is a good manager of accounts. Anyway, there are a lot of industries under the Chinese army yamen, why don't you help send a message to the officials and the military department, five thousand taels of silver, give him a six-grade experience, and then award him a loyal lieutenant? In the future, it is just right to help adults manage their accounts. ”

Song Che frowned: "The six-grade official said that he had to pay fifteen thousand taels of silver, how could it be so much less?" And you still want a real job. ”

Xu Ying said: "With your face, you can erase all this amount, but there is still a difference of 10,000 taels?" "She doesn't know too much about the twists and turns of officialdom.

Song Che sneered: "You are exalting me too much." "He's never done anything like this since he's grown up! It's okay to let him help her go through the back door, and let him cut so much silver with the military department, does he want to be an iron-faced and selfless Song Yan in the future?

"Your Excellency." Xu Ying dragged up her volume and sighed: "Daliang is not short of money, but the price is high because of the small number of official positions, so what's wrong with you selling this official position to me cheaper?" ”

Song Che turned his back and sat looking out the window, "No." ”

Xu Ying walked up and walked around in front of him from behind, "I will repay you in the future." ”

Song Che looked at her face and almost let go, but he still held back.

Xu Ying looked out the window, raised her lips and smiled, and suddenly leaned her face a little more.

Song Che could smell the rouge on her face, and turned her body away at the moment: "What are you doing?" ”

"Promise me!" Xu Ying leaned over again.

He fell unsteadily on the bed, and Xu Ying knelt beside him, looking at his blood-soaked face unscrupulously.

Song Che was ashamed and angry, "Get out!" If you don't get out, I'll call someone......"

"It's useless to shout people." Xu Ying shook her fan slowly, "This is my territory, and my brother must have told me not to break in and disturb the adults casually, it is useless for you to shout and cut your throat." She brushed his ears with a fan and laughed wickedly, "It's almost from me." (To be continued.) )
