- A servant girl couldn't help but say, "Sir, it's so strange today, I had a meal with Yao Lao, but he lined us up so far away, and he didn't tell us to put away the bowl when he left, so we waited for a long time." ”

The guard at the door heard this, his voice was slightly cold, and he only said: "Please don't regard Lord Lin's humility and gentleness as a presumptuous space, and not any woman can walk so close to Lord Lin like Miss Chen." If you feel that you can't get over it here, I can help you ask Lord Lin for instructions on your behalf, and I believe he will not be reluctant to send someone to send you back to Beijing. ”

The talkative servant girl couldn't help but tremble when she heard this, and she didn't dare to say anything more.

A few maidservants entered the house to clean up the scraps, and the maidservant who had been orally lectured by Lin Shan's henchman guard at the door just now suddenly couldn't help but say again: "What! I'm not just gossiping, what kind of fierce is that guard. ”

A tall servant girl beside her dissuaded: "You better say less!" You are not familiar with that guard, how can you gossip about the affairs of your master's house in front of him? Let alone...... The little brother at the door just now was right, don't think that you are a weak woman, you can be presumptuous with this. Of course, a gentleman will not embarrass a woman for some trivial things, but do you know what the result will be if you are disgusted by him? That is, Miss Chen's appearance, talent, and character, can be a caring person for Mr., and occasionally frolicking can be unscrupulous. ”

"Che, that's your private opinion, but in my opinion, it's not. Look at the tea cup that was almost glued to Lin Shansheng's hand, don't you see? Although the Chen family's wine was mellow and attracted an endless stream of drunken buyers, Mr. Lin directly quit drinking. What does this mean? The handmaid who was talking at the door just now said to the tall handmaid with great disapproval, "After all, it's still disgusting...... Miss Chen was originally a celebrity in Dongfeng Building, and she stayed in that building for a long time before Dongfeng Building changed the rules of the door plaque...... Is she still a girl......"

Except for herself, who said this, all the maidservants who were cleaning up the scraps at the table stopped moving.

When the talkative handmaid saw this scene, she realized that an extremely strong oppressive force came from the gaze of several handmaidens around her and smashed it on her face.

A servant girl in the left corner of the table suddenly said a little meanly: "Pray that you don't marry the wrong man in the future!" Because of people like you. All it takes is one setback. I couldn't get up anymore and cheered up. It's a setback like this, maybe every woman can't avoid it without entering the building, it seems that you are very dangerous! ”

The tall maidservant spoke as well. said coldly: "Why do you need to wait for that kind of test, a servant girl like you who likes to talk long and short, I'm afraid that I just need to send you back to the old General Mu Mansion in Kyoto, and a word of loss can kill you." ”

A servant girl in the right corner of the table also said with a cold face: "It's really a shame that you are still a servant girl who has been cultivated in General Mu's mansion." General Mu's wife was the aunt of Emperor Ling of the previous dynasty. The old general also has a daughter-in-law who is also a member of the imperial family of the former dynasty, and the backyard of this family can be described as the most complex and dangerous household among the nobles of Kyoto. Because the noble status of the mother's family is subverted. The struggle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the backyard of Mu Mansion is even more distorted, you haven't tasted lasagna, chili oil, skewered tofu and other new things in it, you should have watched others enjoy it, how can you forget what the scourge of the tongue can do? ”

Lasagna. It refers to wetting the belt with leather on the inside and embroidered brocade cloth on the outside, and then whipping it on the person. This torture instrument can be carried around and is not overly conspicuous like a mace. However, servants and maids who have been served by this kind of torture will inevitably leave scars on their bodies that will not be erased for many years.

Chili oil is relatively simple. It is a red soup made by soaking chili peppers and peppercorns in boiling oil, but when using this kind of thing to punish the servants, the servants and maids are generally made to lie on their backs or swallow them upside down. The slightest mistake in the swallowing angle may lead to a mute for the person being punished. Even if they escape the catastrophe of becoming dumb, the servants who swallow this chili oil will have diarrhea for at least seven days, and their mouth and tongue will be paralyzed and tasteless for at least a month, and they will not be able to swallow half a cent of hot food, so they will have to eat raw food for half a month and wait for the injured mouth to recover.

This trick was learned by two princesses of different generations from the Criminal Department, but it has to be said that their intention to improve it is very ingenious. Although these two condiments are somewhat expensive, they are very popular on the Kyoto table, and they are well stocked and can be used at any time, and they can afford to pay for as much as the Mu Fu spends. It's just that the servants and maids are suffering, and the ingenious wisdom of the two princesses can only make people fearful.

The first two punishments are widely used in the punishment of the crime of theft and the crime of long tongue by the servants and maids in the back house of the Mu Mansion, respectively, as for whether the punished person really stole the master's valuables, or criticized the master with many mouths, he may still have done nothing, just blocked the intersection of the two princesses walking around the garden, and was dragged to punishment, no one knows.

As for the punishment of skewering tofu, it is a bit ingenious, and it also shows the distorted wisdom of the two hostesses.

There is no tofu that can be picked up with a thin needle, and when the two hostesses of the Mu Mansion who have the status of the princesses of the previous dynasty asked the servants and maids to string the tofu with needles, they not only asked the servants and maids to pinch the sharp long needles to the tofu strings in the hands of the servants and maids, but also worried that they would not be able to prick each other's fingers when they had experience, so they ordered them to be able to fluently answer the family rules and regulations of the Mu Mansion that the two princesses studied at any time while stringing the tofu.

The eldest princess and the fourth princess of the previous dynasty got together to become a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and the identity of the royal family was lost, so they devoted themselves to the struggle for the status of the house.

This is the hell in the hearts of many palace slaves who were assigned to Mu Mansion! Even if one day they were extremely lucky enough to have a reason to leave there, and how many midnight dreams they had, they still couldn't escape the terrible torture they had suffered in the back house of the Mu Mansion.

At this time, the maid who was talking a lot at the door of the dining room of Lin Shan's residence, and when she entered the hall to clean up the leftovers and dishes, she was open-mouthed, and she came out of the Mu Mansion.

Therefore, the other handmaidens who cleaned up the table with her, except for some who were not accustomed to this person's pampered and arrogant words at the door just now, and listened to this person's criticism of the old wine in the hall, which really angered the maids, and the maidservants were really a little curious. Is this long-tongued girl really from the Mu Mansion?

And after being verbally beaten by all the maids around her, the long-tongued maid seemed to really remember the terrible back house of the Mu Mansion. Of course, she didn't want to be sent back there, her spiritual world was filled with fear at an extremely fast speed, and she didn't have time to think about all the good things in Lin Shan's residence, and all that was left in her mind was the horror of the Mu Mansion that was thousands of miles away.

Her hands trembled, and her shoulders trembled. After a while, she suddenly said hoarsely, "I don't want to go back...... But where do we end up? It is obviously impossible for Mr. Lin to stay in Northland forever......"

The tall maid on the side smiled warmly. Then he raised an eyebrow and said, "It's where you're going to end up." Not us. The old pharmacist is gone, and you are not the only one who can see it, and Mr. Lin will not stay here for long. ”

Halfway through the conversation. She glanced around at a few maidservants in the hall, and said with a slightly slower face: "So we have discussed it, so we will stay in the Chen family's small winery, and we will go wherever the eldest sister goes." We sincerely admire Sister Wine's ability. I am willing to follow her and be a wine lady. Who said that a woman can only entangle a woman in her life, if she can't find a good match. We would rather live a good life than marry a bad man, and there is no good result in suffering hardship, that is to be ruined for a lifetime. ”

……

Although the property of the Weihou family is somewhat auspicious clouds that have borrowed the name of the imperial merchants. I climbed up faster, but I really didn't do any dirty things to hurt my peers. If it weren't for some reason, you would have to tear your face to dry. In fact, there are some basic morals in the business world, and everyone still has to weigh and abide by them.

Available today. For a long time, some businessmen wanted to do things that they had to suppress in the end, and it seemed that Wang Chi's words were realized.

Himself has become a similar "accomplice"?

The call bill of 30,000 taels of gold lifted the bottom of the silver treasury of Yunxia Qianzhuang!

But then again, to live the silver treasury of Yunxia Qianzhuang again, it really only takes 30,000 taels of gold? Hurriedly estimated, Yunxia Qianzhuang, which has won many sought-after by Beijing merchants, turned out to be just a "paper tiger" with a principal limit of less than 50,000 taels of gold?

There are also rumors of the imperial businessman. Although Ruan Luo had never touched the true background of Yunxia Qianzhuang, because of his friendship with the third prince Wang Zhe, he was able to find out some more reliable news than the rumors before he returned to Beijing. The statement that Yunxia Qianzhuang did for the imperial family is indeed true.

Because although the royal family has gained a lot of benefits from doing business, there are also many disadvantages, so this secret has been hidden very deeply. If it weren't for the fact that Yunxia Money Village would have learned that the other four money banks in Beijing were ready to join forces to run on the bank, so they deliberately released some words to knock and knock, I am afraid that the secret behind this hidden money bank would have been hidden from the world for a longer time.

However, although there were words released, it was not very clear, and even Ruan Luo, who was so close to the third prince Wang Zhe, only vaguely knew that Yunxia Qianzhuang was probably the property in the hands of Hou Wei Yunhuai in northern Jin.

Wei Yunhuai, the Marquis of Northern Jin, is not very smart, at least on the road to fame, he has lived for most of his life and has never taken the exam, and he has no ambitions, even his ancestors. Demengzu has accumulated shade for more than ten generations, and the Wei family has passed on to Wei Yunhuai's generation, even if it is not a huge wealth, it can be regarded as able to stabilize the industry in the turbulent times more than 20 years ago, and it has no worries about food and clothing.

However, the Marquis of Northern Jin was able to fief the capital of Jin and enjoy the worship of ten thousand households, mainly borrowing the blessings of his sister, the late Empress Wei Yunjue of the current emperor.

When Wang Chi was only a medium-sized general in the northern border pass, in the four years after marriage, his wife Wei Yunjue gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another. Helplessly, the climate in the north is cold and changeable, and Wei Yunjue has not improved since he gave birth to Wang Chi the next queen Qingqing in the confinement.

Wang Chi took great pity on his wife, and sent a few people from his personal guard camp to collect famous doctors and elixirs in the northwest land. At that time, although the old neighbor Beiyan was extremely resistant to people with the face of the Southern Zhou Dynasty crossing the city boundary, the Xiaoliang State in the northwest corner had also seen a small trend and was more able to accept the visits of foreign individual visitors. The Wei family has a solid background, and is maintained by expensive tonics, although the Wang's wife Wei often feels tired and tired on weekdays, but she is barely able to get by.

But the world is unpredictable, Wang Chi's eldest son died of an emergency at the age of five, which gave his wife Wei Yunjue the heaviest blow to his body and mind.

Although it didn't take long after Wang Chi became emperor. posthumously crowned his wife Wei Yunjue as the queen of filial piety Chunxian, but he always felt that he owed his wife too much in his heart, so he borrowed a reason that was still in front of the courtiers one day, and made his wife's brother Wei Yunhuai the marquis of ten thousand households, fiefdom Jindu, gave hereditary titles, and enjoyed the annual offering of ten thousand households.

Although Wang Chi did not hand over the real power of the marquis to Wei Yunhuai at the same time. In addition to holding an honorary title. Wei Yunhuai, the Marquis of Northern Jin, did not have the power to transfer troops, but Wei Yunhuai had no intention of being an official and manager, but at this time he was not confused, he could sit back and enjoy the annual autumn harvest of the whole people in the Jin capital and keep it for his own use. By accumulating family assets like this year by year, you can easily save a huge amount of money in the future.

However, Ruan Luo, who knew who the real helmsman of Yunxia Qianzhuang was, looked at this fortunate event that was incomparably beautiful in the past, and obviously felt a little strange and unpredictable.

Wang Chi lifted the bottom of the Yunxia Qianzhuang silver treasury. It seems that he intends to check his brother-in-law! What's going on?

Relying on power for personal gain has always been a taboo for imperial businessmen, not to mention that Wang Chi is still a new monarch. It should attach great importance to establishing one's own monarchical authority, so during this period, as an imperial businessman, he should be more vigilant and restrain himself. Otherwise, if there is the slightest disobedience at this stage of the new monarch's position. No matter what kind of relatives they are, they are likely to be regarded as a negative example of shocking the government and the opposition, and they will be taken down and punished mercilessly.

But this time, His Majesty Xià shot. It was too sudden, and even a little like a random thought.

The mind just came to this point. Ruan Luo suddenly remembered the Qingchuan War that Wang Chi had told him when he first arrived at the bookstore an hour ago, and he seemed to understand something. War is the most financially consuming thing in a country, and the Wei family is originally a big family that does not lack silver, and in recent years, they have enjoyed the marquis's ten thousand households, and the wealth of the family is indescribable, could it be that there is something wrong here?

"Young Master Ruan?"

Suddenly, there was a light call, and Ruan Luo was lifted out of his distracting thoughts, Ruan Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that it was the thirteenth guard who was calling him, so he said, "What's the matter?" ”

"You just said that 10,000 taels of gold were exchanged for a fraction of these official banknotes, where did the rest go?" Although the thirteenth guard was a little suspicious of what Ruan Luo was thinking about, he was not good at intervening, but just completed his duties calmly, "Yunxia Qianzhuang will exchange the bill you issued into a large ticket for receiving 150,000 taels of silver, and then send the large ticket to the Hengtai Pavilion for exchange with your subordinates, and the official banknote is worth 28,000 taels, and the remaining 120,000 taels of silver are these six jade plates." ”

Ruan Luo quickly recovered the merchant's mind, and as soon as the Guard Thirteen finished speaking, he immediately said, "Where are the two thousand taels left?" What is the use of the jade medals exchanged for an average of 20,000 taels of silver? ”

"The purpose of the jade plaque is more complicated, to put it simply, it can be used to travel through the pavilion area below the Junwang Lodge. There are a total of six Junwang Lodges in the Hengtai Pavilion District, that is to say, with this jade plaque as a reference, Ruan Gongzi can visit two-thirds of the Hengtai Pavilion without stagnation. Thirteen explained to Ruan Luo as concisely as possible the main purpose of the jade plate of 20,000 taels of silver, but when it was his turn to explain where the 2,000 taels of silver were used, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "2,000 taels, wrap the 'Yuwu Pavilion' closest to here, it is a good place to drink tea." ”

Ruan Luo listened to his explanation, although he had long known that the money spent here today would probably be repaid by Wang Chi after a night, but the first time he played this crazy game, he couldn't help but tug the corners of his mouth slightly. Two thousand taels can only be rented out here, but in Kyoto, even the title deed with the tables and chairs of the building are all bought out, and the value of a teahouse is so much.

For people who only have a house of gold and silver and no high-level status in the world, Hengtai Pavilion is really a good place to use silver tickets as firewood!

Thirteen noticed that Ruan Luo's face was a little wrong, and he was cautious about saying anything more, so he couldn't help but glance sideways at Wang Chi. After getting Wang Chi's eyes, Thirteen immediately felt like he was amnesty, and hurriedly stepped aside.

"This bit of silver is used appropriately." Wang Chi looked at Thirteen and Ah Ping, who were already standing together, and said slowly: "You two will walk ahead, Thirteen and be careful, and the matter of spending money will be handed over to the two of you." ”

Thirteen and Ah Ping hurriedly responded when they heard this.

Ruan Luo heard Wang Chi's voice, and gradually regained his heart.

Except for a few independent courtyards, the guard rules in the Hengtai Pavilion area are generally strict on the outside and loose on the inside. Now that the most troublesome formalities of getting through the guò gate have been completed, the rest of the walk will be much easier. Breathing a sigh of relief, Ruan Luo cast his gaze away. Focusing on the buildings in the museum area, he immediately saw a group of five people walking quickly from a straight street in the museum area.

The four in the back of the five seemed to be dressed as guys in a restaurant and teahouse, and the leader was in Ruan Luo's opinion, the identity of the chief silver cabinet was obvious, and Ruan Luo usually dealt with this kind of person.

The five of them walked up to Wang Chi, and the middle-aged man in silk clothes who looked like the head of the shopkeeper hurriedly bowed down and laughed, raised his fists and said respectfully: "Dare to ask." This is the old man who came to Beijing to enjoy the spring, right? ”

Wang Chi nodded of course. Secretly laughing for more than one month, he has never walked out of the palace, and the compilation work of the thirteen seems to be more refined.

After confirming the identity of the visitor, the smile on the face of the shopkeeper in the silk suit became even brighter. No longer asked Ruan Luo's identity, but made a "please" word to the right with one hand, and said preconceptually: "It's the little shopkeeper of Yuwu Pavilion, with four guys." We are here to greet two distinguished guests. The floor in the pavilion is dusted and clean, and the snow spring on the stove is slightly hot. This old man, as well as the honorable son, please follow the little shopkeeper's side. ”

"Okay." Wang Chi smiled slightly, "The shopkeeper's courtesy is heavy." ”

Ruan Luo, who was originally standing half a step behind Wang Chi's side, was sluggish again at this moment. The title of "Zun Gongzi" fell into his ears and knocked his eyebrows up.

And Ah Tong, the bodyguard standing behind Ruan Luo, heard what Wang Chi said, and he had quite an objection in his heart: two thousand taels for a few guys in the teahouse came out to greet him. That's not a courtesy, is it? However, his son-in-law's silver bag was cut severely, which is a bit heavy.

The guard Thirteen and the bodyguard Ah Ping, who were at the forefront, had already begun to issue silver tickets to the teahouse guys. Two for one person, twenty taels of official bills and then converted into silver bills, at least sixteen or seven taels can be obtained, and the smiles on the faces of the four guys are more real, and the taste of joy at that time.

Ruan Luo, who was slowly behind Wang Chi, couldn't get up quickly, and suddenly he saw Wang Chi look back at him, and said in a very soft voice: "Are you thinking about the matter of Yunxia Qianzhuang?" Or should I say that you have already begun to think about the matter of the Marquis of Jinbei? ”

Ruan Luo's eyes lit up, and he was very surprised in his heart, he didn't expect that although he hadn't mentioned a word about his hidden thoughts, he had already been understood by Wang Chi so accurately.

Facing Wang Chi's gaze, Ruan Luo moved the corners of his lips, and was quite hesitant whether to say it, so he heard Wang Chi say softly: "So I just said that the thirteen flowers of silver are quite appropriate, and the sound avoidance effect of Yuwu Pavilion is very good, and it is more comfortable to chat there than to stand on this street." ”

Ruan Luo understood, didn't say anything more, just quickened his pace.

……

After leaving a copper coin at the wonton restaurant, the unkempt woodcutter who walked away quickly only bypassed one street and stopped when he reached a corner of the street where there were few people. After holding his breath and observing the surroundings for a moment, the unkempt woodcutter immediately kicked the stone onto the wall, and disappeared into the wall in an instant.

Landing in the backyard of a private house, the unkempt woodcutter walked around the main house for a while, quickly scanned the four corners of the courtyard, and once again made sure that no one was there.

By the time he crossed the threshold of the kitchen, his left hand had already removed the weed-like hair from his head, and with his right hand he had rested the wood knife he was carrying on the stove, and then he hooked his index finger and slashed it to his waist, and the corset belt was relaxed, and the tattered linen clothes had faded from the front placket, slid down his shoulders, and reached the middle of his right hand.

After taking off the sackcloth, the gray cloth shirt with narrow sleeves and short placket was revealed, cut and cut close-to-the-body, faintly revealing his slender and well-proportioned body. His back was straight, his arms were long and his shoulders were broad, which did not resemble the physique of a man who had been overworked all year round.

While his right hand wrapped the "hair" in sackcloth, his left hand quickly picked up the wood knife resting on the stove, and took advantage of the situation to slap the fire sickle that the family used to hang on the wall not far from the stove, and sparked several times at a very fast speed.

The young woodcutter, who had no unkempt hair and withered hair, stuffed the tattered shirt and wig into the stove, and then he took out a small paper bag from the narrow sleeve, poured out a black ball the size of a soybean, crushed it between his index finger and thumb, and threw it into the stove.

The pitch-black stove suddenly brightened, and a few sparks that were originally just smoking, in the blink of an eye, spit out tongues of fire as if they were a little demonized, engulfing the tattered sackcloth.

Scooped a scoop of water from the kitchen water tank, and cleaned the teeth that had not been washed for several days with the salt from the stove of this household. When the grime on the young face was washed away, the woodcutter coiled a black hair tightly above his head. Dip your fingers in water as a comb, thin them a few times, and then pull out a new purple ribbon embroidered with white plum blossoms from the inside of the placket, and loosely tie the long, slightly damp hair behind the head.

Walking out of the kitchen of this family, it is difficult to find traces of firewood gatherers in the mountains on the young people who are already new. It was late afternoon, and the clothes drying in the family's backyard were dry, but the young man only glanced at the drying rope. Settle in mind. He did not go to pick up the clothes on the ropes, but went straight to the head of household.

The wrist is tensed, and the thumb is tightened. The iron lock hanging from the gate was like a bean fried in a hot oil pan, and the door of the main house opened. The young man went straight in, then turned and walked into the bedroom next to the main hall, and opened the closet that stood next to the wall. Gaze sweeps. He didn't take the brocade robe that hung properly, but his eyes drooped slightly. It fell on a neatly folded heavy purple silk shirt in the corner of the cabinet.

Putting on the purple one, the young man instantly had a kind of businessman's temperament, and soon his eyes fell on the corner of the wardrobe, but he took a fancy to the size of the pair of mille-feuille bottom cloth shoes. It seems to be the same size as the man's clothes, and the shoes fit well.

He stooped down to get the shoes, but he pulled out a handful of broken silver from the shoes. The young man was slightly stunned at first, and then his customary pursed lips hooked upward. Pour out the broken silver and put it back in the corner where the shoe was kept. Putting on the cloth shoes, the young man closed the closet, took the tattered cloth shoes he had been wearing, went out of the house, and closed the door again.

As he closed the door, the young man threw the iron lock, which had just been torn open by himself with two fingers, into the corner of the yard, and a cluster of blooming wildflowers shook gently, submerging the slightly rusty lock.

Returning to the kitchen, and disposing of the tattered cloth shoes in the same order as the tattered sackcloth, the young man picked up the wood knife resting on the edge of the stove again, and stabbed it into the hearth, and made sure that the ashes, which were slightly different in color from the wood ash, had been burned out, and then he stood up straight, took two steps, and stood the wood knife next to a wood-splitting axe in the corner.

Out of the kitchen, the young man looked around the courtyard again, and suddenly a thought occurred to him, and he walked past the clothesline, and pulled a plain shirt hanging from the rope a little crookedly. When he had done this, he sighed softly with satisfaction, and finally kicked the stone up the wall again, and walked away in the direction he had come.

About half an hour after the young man left, the courtyard door of the house opened from the outside in, and a middle-aged couple walked in, but it was the main owner of the family who had gone out before noon.

The middle-aged male protagonist is slightly thin, with thin eyebrows and a long face, which shows that he should have some delicate temperament when he was a teenager. However, when people reach middle age, the corners of their mouths are no longer easy to rise, their pupils seem to be cloudy, and the expression of affection on their faces is also locked by the repeated life that lasts all day, making them mature but gradually getting old.

He walked behind the middle-aged woman, his eyes glazed over, and his face was drunk, as if he had gone to some family and friend's house at noon, and had eaten too much wine during the banquet. In contrast, the middle-aged woman looks shrewd and has a calmer complexion.

However, when the woman entered the courtyard and swept to the door of the main house, she was immediately at peace.

"Boss, when we left before noon, didn't my wife tell you to lock the door?"

The woman's voice was slightly louder, and the half-drunk and half-awake middle-aged man stiffened his neck when he was drunk. He finally opened his squinted eyes wider, and glanced at the padlock on the door.

After making sure that the door was not locked, the man felt a little weak, but he was afraid that his wife would roar, and he was afraid of the strength of the wine, and he was a little unwilling to be pressed by his wife all the time, so he forced a somewhat obscure voice and said: "It's not that you kept urging when you left, and the husband's family may have forgotten...... But I remember that I locked the door, otherwise how could the key be in my hand? ”

The woman lowered her eyes and glanced at her hand, she had just opened the lock on the gate of the courtyard, and the key was indeed taken from her husband's hand, and she couldn't help but be slightly stunned when she thought of this.

But she quickly thought through a problem, and immediately shouted: "Our lock can be locked without a key, and the key must be used when the lock is opened!" ”

As the woman spoke, she seemed to be about to snap her husband's fingers, but as soon as one hand was halfway raised, she sighed again and lowered it gently. Glancing at her husband's drunken and red face, she only thought in her heart that she couldn't listen to anything she said to him at this time.

The woman's annoyance had just been suppressed by herself, and the corner of her eyes swept over the plain tunic hanging on the clothesline in the yard, noticing that the crooked placket had somehow added a dirty stain. The fire in her heart suddenly rushed up again, and she scolded: "Whose cat is this restless and scratching?!" ”

Looking at the direction his wife was going, the man didn't need to open his eyes to see the dress clearly, he already knew in his heart what she was complaining about. Maybe it was because he drank wine and became angry, so he casually threw a sentence: "If it's dirty, wash it again, why do you have to make noise about everything?" Are you going to catch that cat? Quarrel with it again? ”

This simply adds fuel to the fire.

The woman turned around and said, "You don't need to wash these clothes." You're not tired of standing and talking, are you? ”

The male owner finally realized the strictness of the problem between the scenes, and he shouldn't have answered at all just now, but if he continued like this. It was estimated that it would be difficult to escape another dispute today, so he quickly closed his mouth and stopped talking.

Although he has now saved up a shop and has a worry-free life, the capital of his business is all dependent on the dowry brought by his wife when she got married. His wife came from a wealthy family. Since childhood, I have learned from my parents and learned well. Now this small family, which is gradually getting richer, actually has the main living silver in the hands of his wife. Although his mind is a little dizzy at the moment, as long as his wife's voice is in his ears, he can't ignore the reality of this wife's respect for her husband.

Keep your mouth shut. The corners of his mouth were a little displeased, and the man walked towards the main house with his hands tied.

A few days ago, I met a childhood friend in Beijing and was invited to be a guest today. At lunchtime, they talked about how they played together in this small seaside town called Koyo as a child, and then experienced the turmoil in Kyoto and lost contact. A couple of pee drank a few more glasses. In the afternoon, he came back drunk, but at this moment, he was quarreled with by his wife, and his dizziness was even worse, and he just wanted to sit down and rest quickly.

However, as soon as the man pushed open the door of the main house, he stepped in halfway with his front foot, and his wife exclaimed from behind him, which startled him again.

"Boss, is our family a thief?"

After a little calm, the man didn't even want to turn his head back, and said a little impatiently: "Don't be surprised, have you seen that family was robbed, can the door be so neat?" ”

However, as soon as he finished saying this, he suddenly remembered something, and the strength of the wine in his brain suddenly cleared up, and his legs and feet immediately became sharp, and he went straight to the bedroom on the side of the hall.

Opening the closet, his eyes widened slightly, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly scooped up a handful of broken silver that was spread out in a corner of the closet, hurriedly filled it into another pair of shoes, and hurriedly got up, and the sound of light footsteps behind him was already very close. He didn't have time to close the closet, so he pretended to pick up the clothes inside, and was frightened by this nervousness, he faced the closet, and the flush that was washed up by the wine was much lighter, and a trace of doubt rose in his drunken eyes: the shoes were missing, it seemed that he was really robbed, but the silver was still there, what was going on?

……

Wang Chi's original intention of presiding over the construction of the Hengtai Pavilion in the inner city of Kyoto was to use this complex to receive foreign envoys. Whenever there is a heavy festival, the foreign envoy comes to congratulate; Or the nobles who lived in the fiefdom such as the prince of the county and the uncle of the Hou came to Beijing to live in this neighborhood.

The nobles who were outside the fiefdom rested here after entering Beijing, and while enjoying the prosperity of Kyoto, they were less subject to rules and regulations than living in the palace, and the service they received was much more elaborate than that of living in a post house outside the palace, and the safety issues could be taken care of more securely.

In addition, taking into account the special place of the foreign envoys, there are several buildings in the Hengtai Pavilion block that were built according to foreign customs.

It is said that the country of Beiyan is located in a place of wind and cold dust, and the people of this country are accustomed to paving the ground with reeds and fine woven squares from bottom to top, and they need to take off their cloth shoes and sit on the spot when entering the inner room. There is often a fire pit in the lobby of the front hall of the northern households, and whether you drink water or drink, you can boil it warm in front of your eyes and drink it immediately.

It has been nearly eight years since the construction of the Hengtai Pavilion block, and there are several special regulations of the block that have been slightly eased and changed in the past eight years.

Although the cost of staying here is expensive, and there are rules on the length of stay, as long as you have enough money and don't pity it too much, even if you are a commoner, you can still stay.

Following Wang Chidi's instructions, Ruan Luo signed out three silver tickets at a time, to be precise, this should be called "Jin Jian", because this piece of paper has the effect of calling 10,000 taels of gold. For more than a year since his own property was evaluated, Ruan Luo had never been so big-handed, and he used an empty ticket book to the top value at one time, so he couldn't help but tremble in his heart after pressing ten fingerprints in a row.
