Chapter 56: Molasse Bait
"Cao Yuanjun, the account book of the acres you want!"
It's like Parkinson's, his hands are shaking, his body is shaking, and the old housekeeper of Han Fu seems to have turned on the vibration mode, and he shook it before handing the Wuyang Korean-style Tianmu Kou book to Cao Hongjie's hand.
Although the means are not glorious, but after all, this is the result of her own labor, this girl took it with a smug look, pretending to nod deeply and flip it open, but after looking at it twice, she hurriedly stuffed it into Wang Hou's hand sadly.
Despised Cao Xiaoniang for a look, Wang Hou stretched out his hand and took the bamboo slips, the ancients' bookkeeping method was really spicy chicken, fortunately, he recently turned over the book and turned out the experience, all the front was skipped, and he looked directly at the back, but after reading the first volume, Wang Hou's eyebrows were obviously raised, put down the first roll of bamboo slips, and hurriedly grabbed the second volume, which was also skipped at a glance, and it was the third volume.
He simply didn't look at the rest, just threw these account books into a pile, frowned, looked at the old butler solemnly and asked.
"Wuyang Han clan, only 15,000 acres of land?"
"Back to the king's commander, there are only 15,000 acres of land!"
is still trembling in Parkinson's mode, but when answering this, this old ghost Han nodded very affirmatively, this time not only Wang Hou, but even Cao Hongjie's smile converged.
However, under her attention, Wang Hou waved his face lightly: "This official knows!" Steward Han, go down! β
"The old slave retires!"
The old guy had just left with his robe, and Cao Hongjie was already slapping the table and roaring angrily.
"Wuyang Korean-style number Yingchuan four long! It was so greedy and ugly! Very stingy! β
"Fifteen thousand acres! Not even a quarter of his family's acres! β
Different from the long society, Wuyang is a big county, after the war, Dingkou also has 50,000 to 60,000, the acres of land are probably not less than 100,000, the county official is really 400 stones, called the order but not the long, and Wang Hou also did his homework before ascending the mansion, the tax here is up to five years of Zhongping, that is, the year when the general He Jin was cut off by the eunuch, that year the land book on the Wuyang Han family had 60,000 acres of land, ten years of homesteaders went bankrupt and died, how can it be annexed to 70,000 acres now! He reported 15,000 mu at the same level as the Zhong family of Changshe, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he does not pull out a dime.
However, after knocking on his skull with a headache, Wang Hou still waved his hand helplessly: "Wuyang Han clan, let's record it as a middle-grade clan!" β
"Let them go to the middle grade, this virtue, not to enter a cold door has been extrajudicial and gracious! I don't! β
"Red Festival, you think I don't want to! But you have to consider it for the prime minister, after all, the Wuyang Han family has tens of thousands of people, and there are many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in the court, and there are also the servants Han Rong there, and they are designated as inferior, the Han family is not convinced, and it will definitely cause a storm in Xudu, and it is difficult for the prime minister to do it! β
Stupidly said, Wang Hou's face immediately showed ruthlessness, and he snorted gloomily: "And even if it is listed as a middle-grade family, it is enough for this Wuyang Han family, every year Zhong Xuan can recommend three Zhong family children or protΓ©gΓ©s to enter the court, but Han Rong can only recommend one, in the long run, the Han family's ancestors or former officials will only become fewer and fewer, and there will be fewer opportunities to worship under him, and talents will not be willing to worship under the Han family, there will always be a day when he declines!" β
"Cheap this family is stingy!"
Wang Hou mentioned Mr. Cao, and Cao Hongjie had no choice but to grit his little tiger teeth and snort.
But at this moment, the door where Cao Hongjie and Wang Hou lived was knocked again, and the voice of the Han family's housekeeper sounded outside the door again.
"Cao Envoy, Wang Lingguan, tonight the head of the family will hold a banquet to invite the two officials, I wonder if the two of you will have time to enjoy your face?"
Cao Hongjie wanted to give it when he opened his mouth, who knew that he was in front of him, Wang Hou hurriedly responded loudly: "So, thank you Han Jiagong, Cao Yuanjun and I will definitely go to the banquet as promised!" β
"The old slave obeys!"
Listening to this old guy walking away again, his little face pouted, and Cao Hongjie snorted angrily again: "Old miser, scum who evades taxes, he has no appetite when he looks at him, why did he promise to go to the banquet?" β
"The Han family is also weak in their hearts, there must be a lot of bribes before leaving, I want to open a gap in public relations on you and me, I have already discussed with the prime minister before leaving the capital, I received seven bribes and three prime ministers, and the prime minister did not cure me for the crime of accepting bribes, now I can get more back, don't do it in vain, just give him a medium grade!"
"Cut, it's Prime Minister Seven and you three!"
Cao Hongjie rolled his eyes, but Wang Hou still didn't blush at all from the punctured cowhide, and muttered: "I know that you are not dressed up well and ready to pick up customers!" β
"Cut, die!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Now Han Jue, the former imperial historian of the Han family in Wuyang, has been here for half a month, and it is the first time he has seen this old guy, and it is true that good people do not live long and live for a thousand years.
But anyway, if he has money for a while, he has a plan on how to divide his family, and Wang Hou doesn't fight him, and hummed and promised while drinking, which made the old guy feel good.
As for Cao Hongjie, it is simply to let go of the cheeks to eat, and the level of this banquet can be equated with Zhong Xuan's reception, don't eat for nothing! This is so fierce that even Wang Hou, who watched it, was a little worried that she hadn't married yet, and she would become a little fat pig first.
This meal was eaten for more than two hours, and the wine of the Han family was also mellow, one lord and one lord toasted, and unconsciously, Wang Hou was also a little drunk, full of wine, and after the banquet, Cao Hongjie was a little angry and helped him go back.
However, as soon as he walked to the entrance of the courtyard, Han Jue, the old housekeeper of the Han family, stopped there with a smile on his face, and bowed respectfully.
"The old slave has seen Cao Yuanjun, Wang Lingguan!"
"Envoy, didn't you want Wu Jun's green tea to take a bath a few days ago? My husband deliberately went to Cixinye quickly, and came back for you, Wuyang's official business is over, and you will be on the road with Wang Lingguan tomorrow! Let's go and relax today! β
The temptation of taking a bath for women is still quite big, but subconsciously, Cao Xiaoniu's eyes fell on the drunk Wang Hou again, looking at this, the smile of the old housekeeper Han also became a little weirder, he laughed and bowed again.
"Rest assured, Wang Lingguan, the old slave should take care of himself! This is Wuyang Han Mansion, no one dares to make a mistake here! The king's order is tight! β
Indeed, if something happened to Wang Hou in Wuyang Han's Mansion, Cao Cao would definitely have to let Wuyang Han go around without food, not because he loved Wang Hou much, but if the officials who came out to do things couldn't keep it, Cao Cao, the central lord, would have no majesty at all.
Anyway, Wang Hou said that if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it, that's a bastard! handed over this drunk ghost to the servant brought by the old housekeeper Han, and this girl was very heartless and hummed a small tune and shouted: "Lead the way!" β
"Hello! Please make your side here! β
Respectfully leading the way, after the old housekeeper Han glanced at the servant who was supporting Wang Hou, he immediately disappeared at the turn of the intersection with Cao Hongjie, and after a nod, the two of them mixed with Wang Hou, who was playing drunk fists, also walked towards the bedroom where they stayed.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Go home! Lao Tzu wants to go home! Lao Tzu wants to masturbate! Lao Tzu is a gold ADC, don't grab the road with me! β
Wang Hou had absolutely no alcohol, he was put on the bed, and kept muttering drunken words, but the two servants of the Han family who listened to his drunken words were confused, and they had the intention to eavesdrop for a while, but they couldn't understand anything, and the two servants finally turned around helplessly and went out.
However! A few minutes later, the two of them rolled back with a quilt, threw it on Wang Hou's bed, and turned around and closed the door heavily.
It's old-fashioned, woman!
Bribing the big guys with hue has always been the specialty of the big family! The quilt is alive, Wang Hou salted fish fluttering like that, playing drunk fists, not honest for a while, waiting for a while, the mouth of the quilt was also opened in the trembling, and a long and quite delicate girl came out.
There was only one belly pocket wrapped in her body, hugging the quilt, the little girl's eyes were extremely complicated, with hatred, fear, and disgust in her eyes, and she fell on Wang Hou for more than a minute Suddenly, there was a knocking sound at the door, which frightened her, and then she gritted her teeth and crawled out of the quilt, and her little hands trembled and clumsily grabbed Wang Hou's collar.
However!
"The Jungler is coming!!"
Wang Hou sat up straight with such a clever corpse, and Gollum suddenly tumbled to the ground again, which frightened the little girl to scream, clutching her chest and retracting sharply.
But the window at the door knocked a few times hurriedly, trembling again, and the little girl once again gritted her silver teeth and crawled out, but she sat on the ground in a daze, but Wang Hou was like a turtle that turned over, and he rolled out more than three meters away, but rolled to the door.
"I'll tell you spiders! Lao Tzu flashed and added blood, you come over again, and give you a quality second company! β
"Spiders? The servant is soft, she was sent by Lord Han to scout the royal commander! Ask the commander not to make trouble, if the servant doesn't scout the adult, go back to the mother, the mother will ......, my lord! β
Fortunately, this little girl didn't have a heart attack, and with a bang, the door was actually slammed open by Wang Hou, and she ran into the yard with a drunken fist, while looking back and mocking like Huang Bo's classic camera emoji of stealing bread.
"Hey, you still want to cocoon me! Lao Tzu flashed over the wall and walked, hahaha! β
"Hey! Wang Lingshi! β
Not only that little girl, seeing that Wang Hou ran away in a blink of an eye, the two Han family servants were also depressed.
At the other end, the annex, the large bathhouse.
It is really the fragrance of green tea in a room, humming the northern tune soaked in the water, Cao Hongjie is comfortable with ancient soap made of oil and ash to wipe her slender and smooth can not be written for fear of being killed, and the door of the kung fu room was knocked open with a bang.
Ducking into the water, the little hand pulled out the sword on the table like a pole lightning, and in Cao Hongjie's cold eyes, he saw Wang Hou drunkenly closing the door and sneaking in, hehe smirked.
"Assist, I'm coming!"
Relieved, Cao Hongjie angrily threw out a ball of slimy fat and fragrant ash.
"What are you doing! Miss Ben is taking a bath! I don't have time to take care of you drunken cat! Get out! β
"Hey, help you ignore me! Then I'll go back and find that vixen in the middle lane to fight it alone! Let her charm me! β
Confused, Wang Hou staggered to go out again, but the fox spirit had the same meaning in the late Han Dynasty and in the later generations, not to mention that there was a charm! For a moment, Cao Hongjie's eyes widened, and she stood up from the water and pointed out her white and tender index finger to Wang Hou angrily.
"Stop!"
