Chapter 44: Thank you Lord Zhuo for the reward
The snow and frost are falling, and the city is full of white-clothed guests.
In the blink of an eye, it was the middle of winter.
Wang Chongyang pushed open the door and slowly made it. Looking at the white expanse in front of me, my heart was full of thoughts.
More than two months have passed since the matter of Dingxi Houfu. Autumn and winter, the yellow leaves are falling, and the snow is white.
"Master Hou. ”
In the distance, Dunn shouted at Wang Chongyang and ran over. Judging by his anxious appearance, there should be something urgent.
Even though it was snowing heavily, Dunn didn't know where he went, covered in snow.
"Uncle Deng, what's going on? Wang Chongyang stretched out his hand to pat the snow off Dunn's body and looked at him strangely.
"Master Hou, when I just went to the slave market, I heard that Rong Di had sent an envoy to Beijing, and he was going to meet His Majesty in the near future to discuss the matter of Hexi Yihe. Dunn said anxiously.
When Wang Chongyang heard this, he remembered what he heard outside the city two months ago. With a slight wrinkle in his head, Wang Chongyang instructed Deng En, "I'll handle this matter." You continue to do what I have to say. ”
"Yes. Dunn nodded, bowed to Wang Chongyang, and then left.
Wang Chongyang stood in front of the main hall, pondered for a moment, and then walked out.
Qin Fuhan went to the court meeting, and she couldn't tell her about this matter at the first time. And the people of Qin Fuhan's faction are now in the upper court, and they can't find it if they want to.
However, even if this matter is to find Qin Fuhan, it will not help. But there is one person who must be interested in this matter.
Dingxi waits for Zhuge Zhan.
When I came to Dingxi Houfu alone, I saw Zhuo Buqun getting off the carriage. Looking at the way he hugged back and forth, he really looked like a big man in the court.
Wang Chongyang saw Zhuo Buqun, and Zhuo Buqun naturally saw him.
"Haha, Zhuo has seen Master Hou. Zhuo Buqun stepped forward with a kind face and saluted Wang Chongyang. Standing up, Zhuo Buqun looked behind Wang Chongyang, and asked puzzledly, "Hey, why did Master Hou come alone?
Wang Chongyang suppressed the anger in his heart, and forced a smile: "My family is poor and has no money to buy slaves, so I laughed!"
A hint of contempt flashed in Zhuo Buqun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it.
Straightening his waist, Zhuo Buqun smiled and said, "Marquis Wu is a first-class military marquis of the dynasty, how can he be so poor." ”
As he spoke, Zhuo Buqun turned around and said to his subordinates behind him, "Go, take two thousand gold coins to Master Hou in the treasury." After all, it used to be a family, and whoever shivered, everyone's face was not good-looking. ”
After speaking, Zhuo Buqun thought about it again, and asked Wang Chongyang, "Master Hou, two thousand gold coins is enough to spend? If it's not enough, I'll ask someone to dial a little!"
Wang Chongyang's heart was furious. However, he is now introverted, and when he does not rise completely, he will not move the Zhuo family.
was silent for a long time, and suddenly, Wang Chongyang stared at Zhuo Buqun with an evil smile, his eyes were green and oily, and he was very infiltrating.
Zhuo Buqun suddenly saw Wang Chongyang showing such an expression, and he started to furry for no reason in his heart.
"Since Lord Zhuo has spoken, then I might as well be respectful. Wang Chongyang's voice paused slightly, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he said in a deep voice, "My Hou Mansion has been posted a lot over the years, resulting in a deficit in the treasury. Since Lord Zhuo has the heart to help, it is better to send the Buddha to the west, help people to help low, and send more!"
Zhuo Buqun heard what he said and was speechless for a while. Could it be that Wang Chongyang couldn't hear it, was he insulting him?
"You... How much more do you want?" Zhuo Buqun was alert, Wang Chongyang This is a typical snake wrapped around a stick.
Wang Chongyang snapped his fingers and calculated. Then, he said with an embarrassed face, "This Houfu family has a big business, and the monthly cost is at least 8,000 gold coins." I see that Master Zhuo's family is solid and enthusiastic. Why don't you just give me 10,000 gold coins? Oh, now that the New Year is approaching, with Lord Zhuo's care, I am grateful!"
"10,000 gold coins, why don't you go and grab it?" Zhuo Buqun was furious when he heard this.
The Qin State has scarce gold mines, and the fineness is not very good, and they are all inferior mines. The few finest gold items are in the treasury and used to trade with other countries. Gold coins that have been left out have been scarce for a long time.
The Zhuo family has only saved less than 100,000 gold coins in Gannan for so many years. Wang Chongyang actually opened his mouth and asked for 10,000 gold coins, which was too much for a lion's mouth.
The street in front of Dingxi Houfu is a downtown area. Zhuo Buqun's voice immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Being pointed at, Zhuo Buqun hurriedly put away the anger on his face. I put on the previous Kazuku.
"Master Hou doesn't have to laugh. 10,000 gold coins..."
Zhuo Buqun didn't finish speaking, Wang Chongyang stretched out his hand to interrupt him. looked at the latter with disdain.
"I said, Lord Zhuo, are you entertaining yourself? Just said that you would give me some money and let me report the number, why did you regret it after hearing the money?" Wang Chongyang didn't care about the people around him watching the show. even deliberately raised his voice a lot.
Pedestrians around, Shun came to be interested.
"Squeak"
The gate of Dingxi Houfu suddenly opened. A burly man strode out.
"You two are going to make trouble, can you change places. The gate of my house is not a place for your personal fighting. Get out!" the burly man is really Zhuge Zhan, the contemporary head of the Zhuge family.
In front of the Dingxi Houfu Nursing Hospital, I have seen these two people. also knew what happened two months ago, and was afraid that they would make trouble again, so the two went to report as soon as they met. Zhuge Zhan, who was eating breakfast, heard this, put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly ran out.
"Meet General Zhuge . When Zhuo Buqun saw Zhuge Zhan, he hurriedly saluted.
"Uncle Zhuge . Wang Chongyang bowed his hand slightly. The title of Marquis Wu is half higher than that of Dingxi Houfu, so Wang Chongyang does not have to make a big salute like Zhuo Buqun.
"Chongyang, aren't you going to stop?" Zhuge Zhan was slightly angry.
"Don't worry, uncle, I didn't cause trouble this time. Wang Chongyang shook his head innocently.
Pointing at Zhuo Buqun, he said, "Yes, Lord Zhuo wants to give me 10,000 gold coins to let me have a good year." As a result, as soon as he said that he would not admit it. ”
"In that case, then I don't care. You go on. However, remember not to cause trouble at my doorstep!" Zhuge Zhan glanced at Zhuo Buqun coldly, and then glared at Wang Chongyang, and went back to the house.
Just after walking a few steps, Zhuge Zhan stopped again and turned his head to look at the two, "No, I'll still look at you." ”
"Master Zhuo, let's continue!" Wang Chongyang looked at Zhuo Buqun with a smile on his face.
"I..." Zhuo Buqun stared at Wang Chongyang. Wailing in his heart, when did he say that he would give Wang Chongyang 10,000 gold coins earlier?
"Alas, well. It seems that Lord Zhuo really doesn't plan to give me gold coins. Okay, I'll assume that Lord Zhuo is farting, just listen to it. ”
"You..."
"Again, I was negligent. Suddenly, Wang Chongyang's face suddenly realized, "I forgot that Master Zhuo is from Gannan." Gannan is a remote place after all. Poor and remote, never seen the world. There is a knowledge of the flowers and luxuries of the capital. I thought that a few thousand gold was a lot, but in fact, it was the cost of half a month for nobles like us. ”
Shaking his head slightly, he sighed, "I thought it was a gold master, but it turned out that he just looked like a gold master." ”
The corners of Zhuge Zhan's mouth, which was standing in front of the door, twitched imperceptibly. Thousands of gold coins are spent in half a month! Who in the entire capital dares to be so extravagant?
Inside the door, Zhuge Linglong and Zhuge Luo, who were hiding in the corner of the door and peeking, glanced at each other, their eyes full of surprise.
"Wow, Wuhou is so extravagant. I spent a few thousand gold coins in half a month! I was in the Shangyong School Palace, and I only had ten gold coins a month. Zhuge Luo looked envious. Thinking of his small treasury, Shunma felt a little pitiful in comparison.
Zhuge Linglong knocked Zhuge Luo's forehead, and smiled bitterly, "You are stupid, you can't see that this is Wuhou who is excited? Wuhou Mansion is poorer than our family, how can it cost thousands of gold coins in half a month!"
"Huh?" Zhuge Luo heard this, and his face was lost, "It turns out that he is a poor ghost like his father!"
Zhuge Zhan outside the door suddenly turned around and stared at Zhuge Luo fiercely.
"Hey, I've been discovered!"
"Let's go!"
The two hurriedly lowered their heads and fled into the mansion.
Zhuge Zhan turned his head, "Stinky girl, dare to say that your father is poor!"
Zhuo Buqun has been smoked by Wang Chongyang's seven orifices. He hates people most that he is a countryman who has never seen the world. I hate others to discuss his voice the most.
"By the way, Lord Zhuo's family is still supported by my Wuhou Mansion. Patting his forehead, Wang Chongyang looked at Zhuo Buqun apologetically, and shook his head slightly, "The Zhuo family has only been a family for two generations, and the background is insufficient, and the consciousness of small farmers is still deep-rooted, so this is why he said such a thing in front of the public." This is understood. ”
Zhuo Buqun's eyes were red, and his heart was burning with rage, almost burning his sanity.
Zhuge Zhan on the side shook his head slightly. Wang Chongyang's words can be described as poking at the heart, looking for places that Zhuo Buqun cares about. It's not poisonous!
After Wang Chongyang finished speaking, he wanted to walk towards Zhuge Zhan. But he didn't take two steps and remembered something, turned back to Zhuo Buqun and asked, "Oh, that's right." I'm afraid Lord Zhuo hasn't even seen 10,000 gold coins, right?"
After asking, he replied, "I think so, otherwise I wouldn't be so ashamed to open my mouth and close my mouth with 10,000 gold coins." ”
"Boom"
The last shred of reason in Zhuo Buqun's mind shattered.
"Ah, come on, go and take 10,000 gold coins from the treasury and give it to Master Hou!"
Zhuo Buqun yelled. The originally handsome face flushed. Pointing at Wang Chongyang, he roared, "Just 10,000 gold coins, just let me give alms to Master Hou and buy more New Year's goods for the New Year!"
"My lord...", the subordinate behind him heard this, but he refused to leave. Their treasury is only more than 10,000 gold coins, which is the rhythm of sending away the family's funds!
"Go!" Zhuo Buqun had completely lost his mind. He wanted to use the 10,000 gold coins now to restore his self-esteem and make Wang Chongyang shut up.
"This...", people were still a little hesitant. What do they eat if they don't have money?
"Hey, don't act. If not, there is no one, just admit it boldly. I didn't say I had to ask for it, really. Wang Chongyang persuaded with an angry face.
No, Wang Chongyang also muttered, "Slapping a swollen face and being fat, just because you are a big money?"
"Ahh Zhuo Buqun ascended to heaven for a while, turned around and kicked the scary people around him to the ground, and roared loudly, "Didn't you hear what I said?
When the kicked man saw this, he ran to get the money.
After a while, a group of people carried a mahogany box and came to Wang Chongyang.
When the box was opened, there was a box of gold coins stacked with gold.
"Master Hou, take it! Have a good New Year, don't shudder yourself, and lose the reputation of Wuhou Mansion!" Hahaha" Zhuo Buqun looked at the golden gold coin, laughed wildly, grabbed a handful, and mocked Wang Chongyang.
Seeing this, Wang Chongyang turned to Zhuge Zhan and said, "Uncle, find someone to help me get the money into the Houfu first." ”
Zhuge Zhan nodded and motioned for the nursing home to carry the money into the waiting house.
"Isn't Master Hou saying something?" Seeing that Wang Chongyang and Zhuge Zhan were leaving, Zhuo Buqun was immediately unhappy, he couldn't just forget it.
Wang Chongyang paused, turned around and smiled, "Thank you, Lord Zhuo, for the reward." Another day, I will say thank you that year!"
After speaking, Wang Chongyang followed Zhuge Zhan to Dingxi Houfu.
Outside the door, only Zhuo Buqun with a confused face was left!
