Chapter Seventy-Five: Transfer
The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was November, and on this day, the appointment and dismissal order of the imperial court came down. Anseong shook as expected.
This appointment and dismissal order surprised all the people of Ancheng, and no one in the entire county could guess correctly, including Chen Yuanheng.
At this moment, Chen Yuanheng was sitting in the upper room of the Bai family drinking tea, his face was a little strange. Chen Wenhui opened her mouth exaggeratedly and said in surprise: "What? Xu Zhijie was transferred to the provincial capital as a farmer official? ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "This appointment and dismissal order really surprised everyone, of course I still went to Deqing to be the prefect, and was promoted two levels in a row, Huang Tingzhen succeeded to the Ancheng County Order, promoted to one level, the most incomprehensible thing is that Xu Zhijie was transferred to the provincial capital as a farmer official, although he was not promoted, or from the seventh grade, but this position is a fat shortage, and he went to the provincial capital, and he actually has great power, and he is in charge of the agriculture of the provincial city." ”
Bai Shi looked calm: "This is all the credit of his daughter, and it is not worth anything, if the personnel changes are all based on Concubine De's mother, can the queen feel comfortable?" How about it, I have to root the nails. ”
Chen Yuanheng looked at it clearly: "Well, Mrs. guessed right, this time the matter is mine or not, I was careless, I shouldn't let Xu Zhijie go, the feud has been settled, you have to deal with it, or there will be trouble, this time is a good lesson, I won't take it so lightly in the future." ”
Bai smiled slightly: "Hui'er told me that Xu Zhijie's daughter is stupid, although she is young and beautiful, but this woman's color is the most unreliable, I see that she is not very beautiful in the back house of the assassin Shi for many times, let's endure it first and wait for the right time." ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Well, there are some things that we have to start preparing now. Madam, have we paid back all the money we borrowed this year? ”
Bai said: "Although it is not yet the time for the end of the year, but. The borrowed money was repaid, and more than 30,000 silver remained. It is estimated that by the end of the year there will be more left. ”
At this moment, Chen Yuanheng was surprised: "Why is there so much left, why is there more left at the end of the year?" ”
Bai Shi smiled: "Because our biggest entry now is the winery." We can't make sake in the summer, and now the weather is getting cooler day by day. It is suitable for making wine, last year's grain of 50,000 taels of silver was finished, and Qingjian spent 50,000 taels to buy grain in the autumn, because the grain was the cheapest during the autumn harvest, and now the new grain is used to make wine. Half of last year's wine was sold and half saved, isn't there so much? Again. The best time to sell wine is the lunar month, because to prepare for the New Year, every family has to buy wine. So, we will be able to sell more next month. It is estimated that there will be about 100,000 taels left. ”
Chen Yuanheng laughed: "Okay, don't be afraid now, we have money in our own hands, I want to expand the business of the restaurant and Cuijin Building, and open branches in the five counties and one mansion under Deqing." There is also a branch to open in the provincial capital Qingyang City. ”
Bai Shi thought for a while and said, "Five counties and one government all open branches? We already have Anseong and Deokgyeong Cities. It is the remaining four county seats, and it is estimated that 80,000 taels of silver is enough, no, the land price in the county town is cheap, and a county restaurant is more than 10,000 yuan. Coupled with Cuijin Tower, it is estimated that 15,000 heavens, that is, 60,000 taels is enough. The land price, prices, and wages in the provincial capital are expensive, but 40,000 taels is enough. ”
Chen Wenhui thought for a while: "Father, you opened a restaurant and a cuijin building in five counties and one mansion to facilitate you to control the situation under the jurisdiction of the governor in the future, why do you want to open it in the provincial capital?" ”
Chen Yuanheng said: "Because, I offended people in the provincial city, and because I am the queen's person, I will definitely not like me, the person who is a concubine, and I will definitely try my best to make trouble, plus Xu Zhijie is by the side of the assassin, can Xu Zhijie let me go?" ”
Chen Wenhui nodded. Chen Yuanheng continued: "Since the matter is coming, I can't be afraid of it, I have to think of ways to solve the matter, and simply arrange my ears and eyes to the provincial capital, so that it is convenient for me to pull Shi's pigtails." Hmph, I don't know who killed the deer. ”
Chen Wenhui couldn't help but be shocked when she saw a rare look on her father's always bright and handsome face, thinking to herself, I'm afraid that the prefect of Deqing is not so easy to do, and my father has already started to fight, and I'm afraid that the previous dull days won't be able to live.
At this time, in the Xu Mansion, Xu Zhijie was scolding Aunt Sun sharply, no, now it is Mrs. Sun: "You slut, you have no brains, and the daughter you gave birth to has no brains, you can't do anything at all, I said that I want to be the county commander, and she also asked the maid to bring us a message, saying that she is very favored in the Assassin's Mansion, and she wants to give something, what's wrong this time?" I also took it seriously, in order to help her compete for favor, I sent her jewelry, clothes, and silver tickets, and the result? What did she call me? ”
Sun also looked incredulous: "Master, is it possible that the people above have made a mistake, Pearl obviously let people say something, Thorn Shi promised her, this Ancheng County Order must be yours, why has it changed now?" ”
At this time, Lan Xiang, who was standing next to Xu Zhijie and was beating him on the back, sneered and said, "Don't be a big girl, she lied to us, right?" ”
Hearing this, Sun glared at Lan Xiang viciously, now Lan Xiang has been raised to be an aunt, wearing clothes made of the best satin, with gold and silver on her head, and now she is very favored. On the contrary, the lord has not entered his room for a long time, and he did not expect that he would finally become a lady, and at the same time fall out of favor, I really don't understand what I have been fighting for for so many years?
Lan Xiang made a frightened look at this time: "Master, I just said casually, don't take it seriously, look at Madame, I can't wait to eat me this time, I'm afraid, she used to be an aunt when she was able to clean up Mrs. Obediently, but now that she is a lady, she doesn't know how to torture me?" Master, you better let me live, even if I sell it to be a maid, so I can save my life. ”
After speaking, tears fell, Xu Zhijie was distressed for a while, and was busy coaxing for a while, looking up and seeing that Sun was still staring, he was bored for a while: "It's really hard to get on the stage, I have become a wife, I have to have the posture of a lady, why are you so young?" Madame just wants to be virtuous, to be good to the concubine, they all serve me, you should be grateful, what are you doing with such staring, if you have this kung fu, it is better to think about how to send someone to your stupid daughter to write and ask what is going on. ”
Sun Shi hurriedly lowered his head, his eyes were still full of hatred, but his voice was already soft: "Yes, master, I will send my mother-in-law to find the pearl." But there has to be a reason, or let's say it's a leather coat for the pearl. ”
Lan Xiang collected her tears at this time and said: "Master, this is going to cost money again, to make leather clothes, but I am still wearing such thin clothes, and it is about to snow, I don't know how to live then?" ”
Sun Shi hurriedly said: "Master, you don't need to buy leather clothes, someone just sent a few good leathers over a few days ago, all of them are first-class silver rat skins, just let people make them." It's just enough for one person to give Pearl, and if you do it all, you have to ask the master to allocate money from the treasury. ”
As soon as Xu Zhijie mentioned this, he became angry: "You know that you want silver, you still want to save private money, right?" Why did people give us skins? It's not you girl, it's okay to talk nonsense with people, saying how the pearl is favored in the Thorn History Mansion, saying that I want to be the county commander of Ancheng, and these people who coaxed them hurriedly came to send things, now it's good, the county order is Huang Tingzhen's, you still have to use the skin sent by others, are you embarrassed? ”
Sun's face was red and blue, and he couldn't speak.
Lan Xiang took the opportunity to say again: "Master, I said at the beginning, I had to act secretly before the order came down, you see, this is good to be a lady, I can't wait for the whole world to know, I said it at that time, and was robbed by Mrs. Bai Bai, saying that if she didn't say so, could so many people come to give gifts?" I'm afraid our family won't be able to survive for a long time. ”
Xu Zhijie was even more annoyed: "What are you doing there?" Why don't you go pack up your leather clothes and send them away, and ask what happened to your stupid girl? ”
Sun hurriedly left.
Qingyang City, in a small courtyard in the Thorn Mansion, Pearl was losing her temper, the porcelain in the house was shattered, and the little girl shrank aside in fright. Pearl scolded while falling: "Why did the promised good things change?" He also said that he felt sorry for me the most, why did he only give me such a small official as my father, and he couldn't even be promoted to a higher level, and he was a dead old man, and he was never allowed to enter my room again. ”
At this time, a pearl-haired beauty came in outside, and this beauty said, "Eighth sister, is there such a big fire?" What's going on? Why did even the old man scold? ”
Pearl raised her eyes and saw that it was Aunt Shui of the Seventh Aunt, so she stopped what she was throwing in her hand and said with a proud face: "Who do you call sister?" I'm the eldest daughter of a serious eunuch, what are you, but the daughter of a merchant, and your sister is also your name? ”
When Shui Shi heard this, his face immediately changed color, and he didn't enter the door, so he turned his head and walked outside, saying as he walked: "Hmph, it's just the daughter of the concubine who helped the right, although I am the daughter of a merchant, my mother was brought in by my father in a sedan chair, hum, what kind of stinky shelf?" It's just the same person, they're all aunts, who's taller than whom? You're just relying on the master to spoil you, and when a newcomer comes, you'll know what it's like. ”
The pearl who said this was in a hurry, went up three steps and walked quickly, caught up with Shui's, grabbed Shui's hair and beat him. Shui was defenseless, and fell to the ground all of a sudden, and couldn't help crying. Shui's maid, pearl's maid was busy going to pull the rack, for a while the yard was crying dad and shouting mother, it was a mess, there were two beauties standing outside the yard, and they were also the concubines of the assassin Shi, and they all laughed when they heard the sound of fighting and scolding in the yard.
