Chapter 163: Theft

In fact, Zeng Ye really misunderstood, the oil and water of the Beijing officials are insufficient, and it can even be said that they are not enough at all, especially the Qing nobles like the Jixian Academy.

What is a Qing nobleman? It's clean and expensive.

Qing refers to low salary, low salary, and no extra money. You can often come into contact with nobles, such as the prime minister, the second minister, and even the emperor. If you look for information in a timely manner or answer a question on a good day, you may be rewarded. Those who are not very brilliant can only rely on a little dead salary, rent a small house, and live a miserable life. So much so that there was a noble official who was too clear, and he couldn't stand the days of drinking water every day, so he asked to be released.

Fang Zhongyong is not afraid, his days are not clear and watery at all, but full of oil and water.

Although the ministry of the three yas was handed over, the salary was not removed. Hou Ye's salary, coupled with Honglu Siqing's salary, is enough for him to tincture good wine and eat side dishes every day, not to mention how comfortable it is. Although the business everywhere is making money every day, we don't necessarily have to ask for that dead salary, but the bamboo pole of the landlord's old wealth is not knocked on the white or not.

The life of this decadent exploiting class, once in a while, still enjoys dripping!

Fang Zhongyong enjoyed it very much, but Zeng Gong didn't enjoy it at all. The old man Zeng Yizhan has survived all his life, but he is just a doctor in charge of the sacrifice in Taichang Temple, a seven-rank official. The old man is not a personality who can come to things, and he hasn't been rewarded a few times.

Zeng Gong is in his twenties, and when he can eat it, where can he stand the red tape of eating vegetables and tofu and a bunch of red tape? I saw heaven and earth running to Fang Zhongyong's place to eat. Wang Lingwei laughed at him for playing the autumn wind, and he was not annoyed, so he simply called himself "the autumn wind guest".

On this day, Zeng Gong, the "autumn wind guest", came to fight the autumn wind again. Fang Zhongyong immediately arranged a large banquet, and greeted him with good wine and food. Zeng Gong didn't feel a little embarrassed, he opened his mouth when he ate, and the wine was dry. It's just limited to the amount of alcohol, and I don't dare to be greedy, just drink some warm rice wine.

Drinking liquor, Zeng Gong can't do it, drinking rice wine with rock sugar is a top trick. Rock candy! What a rare object, only in the Imperial Palace, the price is better than gold!

Watching Zeng Gong suck and eat rock candy, Fang Zhongyong couldn't cry or laugh: "Isn't it rock candy?" Are you concerned? ”

Zeng Gong replied honestly: "Of course! This is rock candy, and I can't afford to eat it for my little salary! He took out a piece of rice wine that had not completely melted, admired it carefully, and put it in his mouth to suck it again.

"Stop sucking, it's disgusting!" Fang Zhongyong really couldn't stand it anymore, "Go back and ask someone to send you a few dozen catties." The weather is getting hotter, and you stew pears with rock sugar, just to nourish yin and lungs. Uncle is old and irritable, so he needs to be nourished. ”

Zeng Gong waved his hand again and again: "I know that you have money, but you don't have merit, such an expensive thing, it's not easy to be ashamed!" ”

"Then you eat me for nothing every day, so you are ashamed to accept it? I don't see anything to be ashamed of? ”

"That's different. Friends have the meaning of wealth, a little food, how can it be enough? ”

Honest people play scoundrels, which is also very helpless! Although he knew that if he fell down one day, Zeng Gong must be the one who assigned the last nest head to himself. But they all grew into giants and traveled together to be happy.

"It's not worth it! I kid you not, don't look at me like that. Build a yellow mud cellar and wear hemp rope in it...... Hey, why are you telling this, do you understand? ”

Zeng Gong's ignorant face, coupled with confused eyes, said very cutely: "I really don't understand." ”

In case the future Tang and Song Dynasty families die in their own hands, the sin will be great. Fang Zhongyong hurriedly cheered Zeng Gong up: "These are some small ways, don't worry if you don't understand." You have a peaceful mind and are good at scriptures, so it is very appropriate to be a teacher. In the near future, there will be an envoy to Northern Liao, and I would like to recommend you to be a deputy envoy. First, you can increase your experience and broaden your mind, which will be very beneficial to your future promotion and academic progress. Second, you can't talk to outsiders. You should pay close attention to the customs and customs of Northern Liao, the distribution of roads and rivers, especially the city defense situation in various places, and carefully record them for another day. ”

Zeng Gong's eyes flashed: "The imperial court will use troops in Northern Liao?" ”

"It's just a rainy day, Zigu himself knows it, don't let outsiders know!"

Zeng Gong didn't have a trace of drunkenness, and immediately got up: "Then what kind of wine are you drinking?" I'll go back and get ready. ”

's fiery personality really makes people can't believe that it is Zeng Gong who slowly looks like an old master. Not long after he went out, Zeng Gong ran back again: "My jade pendant is lost, you can look for it in the house." ”

"Is it worth the money?" Yan Rongyue, who has always been in charge of the overall work of the Fang family, asked.

"Ordinary things are just relics of my mother, so I don't dare to ignore them! It's also possible that I forgot to wear it, so I'll go back and take a look. After Zeng Gong finished speaking, he ran away in a hurry.

Yan Rongyue called Fu Bo: "When Lord Zeng came, did he hang a jade pendant on his waist?" ”

Fu Bo thought for a moment: "Lord Zeng has been coming a lot recently, but the old slave hasn't paid attention. I think there is hanging, otherwise the corners of the clothes will float up, and there will be a loss of grace. ”

Yan Rongyue was right to think about it, don't look at Zeng Gong who doesn't have much money, but he is a very particular person. Although the Confucian shirt is shabby, it is all crisp and crisp, and anyone who sees it will know that he is a scholar with a full stomach.

Unlike a certain marquis, there is no shape all day long, and the jade pendant doesn't know how much he has lost. I don't wear the regular clothes given by the official family, I dress shortly, and I can work in the field with my trousers rolled up.

Let me change into decent clothes, and people still have words: "No matter how well I dress, do others know me?" ”

"Of course I do! Who doesn't know the prestige of Fang Houye! ”

"Since they all know me, what does it matter what to wear? The jade pendant is lost, and it is enough to buy it again. Left and right are just two money, are we missing those two money? ”

No matter how much Fang Zhongyong's jade pendant is lost, he is not distressed, it is a big deal to spend money to buy another one. Zeng Ye's mother's relics are not things that can be bought again, and it is not good for the reputation of the other party's Hou Ye to spread it. There are old friends who are good at the family, they can throw things in your house, and others who dare to come to the door are a den of thieves!

After Zeng Ye sent someone to spread the word and searched the family to no avail, Fang Zhongyong was angry!

Marquis Fang, who has always been very arrogant, summoned all the people in the Hou Mansion and began to speak: "Lord Zeng's jade pendant has been lost, and it is basically certain that it was lost in our mansion. Ming tells you that things are not valuable, and they are a matter of 100 yuan. You usually break the porcelain of the official kiln, and you haven't seen anyone beaten, right? Anyone who picked it up, or took it greedily, quickly took it out. This marquis promises that he will not be guilty of the past, and will reward you with the same money again. ”

Yan Rongyue was not so easy to speak: "I don't care if you are from Dongyuan or Xiyuan, whether you have followed since you were a child, or who later entered the Hou Mansion." If you dare to hide or steal, you will be killed. Fubo, you are responsible for leading people to search for others, and you are responsible for searching for Fubo. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Old man, I'm sorry!" ”

Fu Bo, as the most qualified steward of Yan Mansion, came to Hou Mansion as a housekeeper on the order of Yan Xianggong, and he boasted of being well-governed, but this time he was slapped in the face, and he kept beating.

"But don't show favoritism, because I'm not going to be polite to anyone." Fu Bo sneered, and shouted to the others: "This is the last chance, once I find out, even if Lord Hou and Mrs. spare you from death, I will fight to pay for your life, and I will definitely make you a dilemma of life and death!" ”

The others looked at each other, really? Is that you? Is it you? Anyway, it's not me, who do you love!

Fang's mother came out to dissuade her, but was stopped by the intimate little padded jacket Wang Lingwei: "Mother! There are no rules, there is no circle, if there are really slaves who dare to deceive their masters, do we still want our family's reputation? Dare to steal Zigu's jade pendant today, and dare to rob with thieves tomorrow. It is difficult to prevent thieves, so it is better to cut the grass and eradicate the roots as soon as possible. ”

Fang Mu thought about it, it made sense! Don't be afraid to throw something, in case those thieves have bad intentions and hurt my dear grandson and granddaughter, how can I live! Check, check carefully! The maids who are waiting in each room, and even the bedroom of the master and me, must be carefully checked!

The body is not afraid of the shadow, no matter how carefully you search, the big guy is not afraid in his heart. What are you afraid of?
