Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Bitter Mandarin Duck (II)

Liu Shi said again, Erlang, don't worry, that Lin Zhusi really just wants Lotus to serve the wine bureau.

Triple the price! Jiro, do you still think that Lotus is still the Oiran of the year? Where is there anyone who is willing to pay a high price and just hopes that Lotus will be out of the wine game?

Those who want to spend Wushan with Lotus are willing to pay a high price, but since Lotus is unwilling, I see that you have a better face, and you will never force her, right?

Liu sighed even more, the old Oiran said that he was sick every day, Mo said that he would pick up benefactors, and he was reluctant to come out of the wine bureau, the new Oiran should have been more famous than the Lotus, and she was more beautiful than the Lotus when she grew up, and the talent was even more difficult for the Lotus to match, because she had been cultivated since she was young.

Perhaps, it can move the north and south of the country.

It can be cultivated for several years, eat the best with the best, teach the best, but when it comes, it has not been spent in the middle of the point, and it was given away by the master! How can you say that?

Liu even cried and complained.

Jiao Zan seemed to eat this set, and said helplessly, but today I am inviting the professor of the school to eat wine, and the lotus has just arrived, can you wait, otherwise, the noodles are too bad......

Liu's crying stopped immediately, and he asked which professor? But the new professor Lingwen?

Jiaozan said yes.

Liu immediately scolded, these things that don't open their eyes are becoming more and more eyeless.

Obviously, whether it was the turtle slaves who welcomed guests outside, or the big teapots in the hall, no one recognized Professor Wen, who was the guest of honor yesterday, which made her very dissatisfied.

But in fact, if you don't talk about yesterday's mess, Lu Ning, the eight-grade school order, only came to the painting boat once, and today is a lively time, so it is common for him not to be recognized.

But Liu obviously knows that many officials and gentry are now talking about this, which seems to be a powerless and powerless Qingshui Yamen petty official, which is different.

"Professor Wen is naturally accompanied, you go back first, I'll come in a while!" Liu left in a hurry.

Lu Ning rubbed his nose, no need to ask, go and call Xiaoxiao.

Jiao Zan came back a little inexplicably, what did you send Su Xiaoxiao to Professor Wen yesterday, where would Jiao Huang and others talk about it in front of their son?

Fan Rulian's pretty face was a little pale, and she looked at Jiao Zan worriedly.

"Who's Rinsashi?" Lu Ning asked Jiao Zan, strange in his heart, how can it seem that in the eyes of the Liu family, this Lin Zhusi is a small official, more worthy of stammering than other sons? Although the other party paid three times the money, the truth is not like this.

Jiao Zan was stunned, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's the younger brother of Deputy Lin Thorn Shi." ”

Lu Ning was stunned.

Lin Feng, the deputy envoy of Yingzhou, was originally just a soldier of Yingzhou to join the army, that is, since the late Tang Dynasty, the power has been greatly reduced, and it basically belongs to the position of decoration, but Yingzhou surrendered to Qi, and Lin Feng made contributions to maintaining stability in the city or promoting the surrender of Qi, and even caught the former Sicang who was originally going to flee with the public treasury money to join the army.

Therefore, in terms of meritorious deeds, Lin Feng was appointed as the deputy envoy of Yingzhou, and he was the second person in Yingzhou City.

Moreover, whether it is the ministers of this dynasty, or the local provinces, prefectures, and counties, they all have permanent deputy envoys, which is actually to balance the disadvantages of excessive authority of the chief officials, so as not to turn these state and county orders into local emperors.

It is not an ornament to be a deputy envoy, and many official documents need to be written by the chief and adjutant in order to be effective.

Of course, in order to avoid arguing, the chief officer naturally has the right to make a decision, but if the adjutant explicitly opposes it, and something goes wrong, it is the responsibility of the chief officer alone.

Therefore, Lin Feng, the deputy envoy of Yingzhou, is really an out-and-out Yingzhou under one person and above ten thousand people.

Not to mention, Lin Feng is clearly an upstart in this dynasty, but Jiao Huang is out of breath and don't drive, and there are even rumors that if Jiao Huang doesn't end all the Jiao family's business houses, he will be exempted from driving.

Yes, Deputy Lin's younger brother, compared with the son of another driver, there is three times the higher price over there, and Liu's choice can be imagined.

"Professor, I'm really sorry......" Jiao Zan sighed, and glanced at Fan Ruhe again, his eyes full of helplessness.

Seeing him like this, Du Dalang and Ma Sanlang didn't dare to speak, Gao Laofu and Gao Xiaofu didn't talk much, and the atmosphere on the table suddenly fell silent.

Lu Ning looked at the lake outside the window, but he suddenly had a plan, and was preparing to send a letter to Shouzhou tomorrow, asking Sun Yu to send someone to Yingzhou to talk to the secret envoy he sent, of course, this secret envoy was Professor Wen of Yingzhou.

Originally, I was still thinking about where to meet with Sun Yu's envoy, but now I see, this painting boat is good, all kinds of people, etc., and there are many merchants from Yingshui Wharf, so it will not be noticed.

While pondering, there were footsteps outside the screen, and sure enough, Liu led Su Xiaoxiao in.

"Hey, Professor Wen, we only separated yesterday, and today I miss my little sister, quick, Xiaoxiao, don't you also miss Professor Wen?"

This Liu Shi can indeed speak, and obviously Su Xiaoxiao also said, Professor Wen is here to see you.

Su Xiaoxiao had a light green skirt, her little face was slightly red, her eyes were bright, but she was a little happy, but when she saw Su Rulian sitting next to Lu Ning, she was slightly stunned, and then walked over and sat on the other side of Lu Ning.

Jiao Zan and the others were a little dazed.

Liu Shi had already smiled and said, "Everyone, it seems that you don't know, right?" This is my sister-in-law, and it is also Professor Wen's side room, temporarily living with me, the environment here is good, the scenery is beautiful, and the professor comes to chant poetry every day, which is also convenient. ”

In Liu's eyes, Professor Wen is naturally a big ingot.

She complained to Jiao Zan about her grievances, which was naturally miserable, but in fact, she was a little dissatisfied, but she was not satisfied, wasn't it? Although I feel that I will definitely earn more than this amount from Su Xiaoxiao in the future, after all, it is a one-time receipt of silver money, and there will be some risks in the future, such as what if Su Xiaoxiao is sick and dies early? For example, in the future, she eloped with her lover, and she may be old and decrepit early, and so on.

Therefore, when the gold, silver, and copper coins worth a thousand yuan are received, they do not think about the irreparable.

On the contrary, it is a great thing for Su Xiaoxiao to live in this painting boat, Professor Wen is popular, and the dignitaries can invite him less? He came to see Xiaoxiao once, didn't he have to set the table for wine? It's a long stream, but it's all money.

In the face of Lu Ning, Liu was particularly enthusiastic.

Su Xiaoxiao sat beside Lu Ning, and whispered: "Master, after you left last night, Cuihong sent me a hundred yuan tickets, saying that it was a ...... given to me by the master Zhang Yuan."

Influenced by the East China Sea and Qilu, the original cabinets also began to issue money tickets, of course, they must not be circulated, in fact, it is equivalent to the passbook of later generations, the difference is that now saving money into the cabinet, but to charge a storage fee, after all, it is convenient for the merchants to be in the local inventory shipment, and it has become convenient to carry the money, take the goods, take people to the cabinet to directly convert the money ticket to the other party, and finally, you can exchange the money ticket for flying money, return to your hometown, and then exchange the copper money out.

Listening to Su Xiaoxiao's words, Lu Ning smiled, this 100 yuan was naturally given to him by Zhang Yuanwairao, it was a small redemption, only 900 yuan, as for how he dealt with the Liu family, how much money to give the Liu family as a small redemption fee, it is another matter.

And obviously, Su Xiaoxiao, this little girl, is very sensitive, and she has doubts in her heart, and she doesn't know if this money should be collected.

"Well, you can use the flowers, but Zhang Yuanwai is there, I will return the gift, and you will never spend his money." Lu Ning smiled at her.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded his head and said, "I'll keep it, every time the master comes, I use it to pay for the wine." ”

Obviously, she also knows that her lord's salary is not very high, if no one invites her, she often comes to this place, she is afraid that she will soon go bankrupt, and a hundred yuan should be a lot of money for the lord, I am afraid that it will be a year's salary.

Naturally, he won't use any of this money, but the master seems to have a good face, and he can't necessarily return it to the master, so he can only keep it for himself to help him save it.

Moreover, the master doesn't have much money, but he is willing to give such a large amount of money to himself.

Su Xiaoxiao is sweet in her heart.

It's more reassuring than those handsome boys, lords, who are entrusted for life.

Lu Ning didn't know that this little girl had seven tricks in her films, and she had already made up countless stories in her brain with a little bit of things.

Over there, Liu was smiling and beckoning to Fan Rulian, "Lotus, come on, Lin Zhusi is waiting for you." ”

Fan Rulianhua's face was pale, but she had no choice but to get up.

Jiao Zan gritted his teeth hard, clenched his fists, and forced himself to endure.

Lu Ning looked at this scene, smiled at the side, and said, "Lin Zhisi paid three times the price. ”

Originally, the people at the table didn't figure out what was going on, but when they heard Lu Ning say this, Du Dalang and Ma Sanlang immediately jumped up, and Du Dalang shouted: "Cabinet girl, you are deceiving people too much!" Ma Saburo shouted: "We also pay three times the price!" ”

Ma Sanlang praised Jiao even more: "Second brother Jiao, this little brother Qian will help you out first!" ”

"No need, I said I'll do the east!" It was Gao Laofu who spoke, and he waved his hand to Liu: "Sister-in-law, you can go." ”

Obviously, although he is almost stupid when he reads, after all, his family is well-off, and he has invited many friends in this place, and he also knows Liu.

Seeing this, Liu said with a smile: "That's good, it's good if I have the money to collect, then this table, the banquet money is calculated separately, plus three times the money, in addition to the high school, although the grandson and your brother are friends, the accounts must be clear." As he spoke, he was blessed and left.

In Lu Ning's heart, he secretly scored a few people, and it was okay.

deliberately told these people that Fan Rulian was unwilling to accompany Lin Zhisi and was forced to go.

These people at the table, Du Dalang and Ma Sanlang are naturally Jiao Zan's best friends, and the Gao family's uncle and nephew were encouraged by Jiao Zan to settle the bill, although even if they don't have Jiao Zan's affection, the Gao family's uncle and nephew will definitely come in order to make friends with themselves.

But sitting at a table, Lu Ning wanted to see what his partners at the same table would do now that they were being bullied.

Except for Gao Xiaofu, who was silent and obviously a little disgusted by this, the other three were all qualified.

However, the introduction fee of this Fan Rulian is unexpected, it is really a profiteering industry, an outdated Oiran, and it is necessary to pay consistent money to serve the wine bureau normally, if there is a wine bureau every day, it can be higher than the annual price of a state thorn, not to mention, there are these high rollers who are willing to raise the price and compete with two or three times.

However, it is very easy to make false accounts for this kind of income, and the 10 percent of the tax paid by the Commercial Tax Department will definitely be insufficient, and I am afraid that it will be greatly insufficient.

But this is also a problem in later generations, so there will be tax stamps and the like, which is to encourage people to try to ask merchants to issue tax stamps after consumption.

This green building should really collect a poll tax, and it should be set higher.

Give you legal protection, but you also have to pay full taxes in this lucrative industry.

Lu Ning was pondering when he suddenly heard someone shouting at the table not far outside, "What's wrong?" Can't I say? I'm just going to say it! It was originally a joke, but before I entered the door, I was picked up by the old man at home! You say, it's not a joke what?! ”

Lu Ning heard it inexplicably, and then caught a glimpse of Fan Rulian's face suddenly like ashes, and her delicate body was shaky.

Jiao Zan's face was even pale, and there was even a trace of despair in his eyes.

The man outside was still shouting: "This little rabbit cub, still has the face to fight with Lao Tzu?!" Do you still want to be embarrassed? If you really don't have to be ashamed, you can help her redeem herself, redeem her body and bring it back to your house, so that your father can continue to pick up ashes......"

"My day grandma!" Du Dalang and Ma Sanlang couldn't hold it back, no matter what kind of drinking game this was to pat the teacher's ass, and no matter how much they were taught by their father countless times to respect the professor and pretend to be a person in front of the professor, they all scolded and rushed out.

Gao Lao shook his head and sighed helplessly.

The look of disdain in Gao Xiaofu's eyes was even stronger.

Obviously, the story of Jiao Zan and Fan Rulian, they all know a rough idea.

Lu Ning also guessed it now, thinking that Jiao Zan's father Jiao Huang had been the benefactor of Fan Rulian, but after that, Jiao Zan got acquainted with Fan Rulian and had feelings, so it became such a ridiculous situation.

Because of this, Jiao Zan is helping Fan Rulian redeem herself as a concubine, and she will become a laughing stock.

Outside, there was a crackling sound, the woman screamed, and the man exclaimed.

Jiao Zan suddenly rushed out with red eyes.

"Killed!" A moment later, even more frightened cries rang out outside.
