Chapter 135: The Old Man Visits
Sitting in the carriage, Cao Wei was still in a trance, he just met Wang Shouren a few days ago, and today he met Tang Yin, the head of the four talents, all said that things gather people in groups, is it possible that he can also turn over a big wave in history?
Li Dongyang is right, he has already attracted the attention of the ministers of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China, and he really can't be in the limelight anymore, otherwise he will be harmed by a villain uncle who is a little seedling of the Ming Dynasty.
Although I can't say what other people's impression of themselves is, the Tang family must hate themselves so much, once the Tang family catches the opportunity, they can't say that they will really ruin people. If you have the opportunity, you still have to get rid of this trouble, and it doesn't feel good to be stared at every day......
"My lord, I'm home!"
Zhang Meng called out outside the car, Cao Wei lifted the curtain, jumped out of the carriage, and said, "Zhang Meng, why didn't Mrs. come with you to pick me up today?" ”
"Madame and Mrs. Qian Ning's mother-in-law went to the silk shop, and I heard that another batch of fine silk was shipped from Suzhou Mansion today, and the price was ...... Expensive! My lord, you have taken care of your wife and the mother-in-law of the Qian Ning family, and don't let them wander around anymore......"
Cao Wei glanced at Zhang Meng in surprise and said, "My wife likes to go shopping, what does it have to do with you, you seem to be a little dissatisfied?" ”
Zhang Meng said sullenly: "When they go shopping, their subordinates can't control it, but what is the reason why they always like to call my lady when they go shopping?" My lord, the subordinates just issued a few days ago, this is just in the middle of the month and it is gone, not only that, some of the savings that the subordinates have saved in the past few years are almost finished, you don't care, the subordinates can only perform on the streets! ”
Cao Wei said earnestly: "Zhang Meng, a man just wants to earn money to support his mother-in-law, just some money, why care so much, you can earn it again when the silver is gone, as long as your mother-in-law is happy......"
"My lord, in the past few days in your Gongyuan, Madame has spent more than three thousand taels of silver!"
Cao Wei was taken aback, his eyes widened and said, "More than three thousand taels? Is there such expensive silk? ”
"That's not true, but in addition to silk, Madame also bought some rouge and jewelry, all of which are of the best kind, and the price is too expensive for Jingshi to compare with the place. And Mrs. is very benevolent, and always buys one for Qian Ning's mother-in-law and my mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law sometimes feels embarrassed and doesn't want her to give out the money, but the lady says that her father-in-law can earn money, and she can just spend money to go out and earn it back......"
Cao Wei suddenly felt a pain in his chest, sat on a chair in the front hall, and was silent for a long time. Zhang Meng hesitated for a moment and persuaded: "My lord, a man just wants to earn money to support his mother-in-law, just some money, why bother so much, you can earn more money if the silver is gone, as long as your mother-in-law is happy......
Cao Wei covered his chest and muttered: "Money is something outside the body, you don't bring it in life, you don't bring it in death, the official doesn't care, I don't care......"
Wang Sheng walked in and arched his hand: "Master, Ren Hao Qianhu came to pay a visit and brought a gift!" ”
The word "li" bites very hard, and it is obvious that Wang Sheng knows what his master cares about the most. Cao Wei's eyes lit up and said, "Invite him in!" ”
Wang Sheng nodded yes. After a while, Ren Hao walked into the front hall, Cao Wei stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve, and said: "Brother Ren, I haven't seen you for many days, you still have the same demeanor, I heard the housekeeper say that you came to visit and brought a gift, it's really outside, outside...... What kind of gift to bring? ”
"It's not a valuable thing, it's just some pastries...... Ren Hao saw Cao Wei restrain his smile, and hurriedly said: "There are still five hundred taels of silver, and the foolish brother doesn't know what the virtuous brother lacks here, so it will save trouble by giving some silver." ”
Cao Wei laughed and said, "Brother Ren is really polite...... By the way, how did Brother Ren know that the younger brother had entered Beijing? ”
"Brother, the entire Jingshi is in an uproar, saying that there is an imperial history to impeach a thousand households...... Ren Hao, said that he colluded with fraud when he was serving as the inspector of the examination, and later found out that the inspector was not called Ren Hao, but Cao Wei, which made a big joke.
The foolish brother pondered privately, this kind of taste of pit people is very familiar, and it must be a virtuous brother. So the foolish brother inquired in our Jinyi Guard, and sure enough, he found that the virtuous brother had been transferred to the Beijing Division, or a thousand households in the inner city! ”
Ren Hao's tone of voice was a little sour, he had been a thousand households in Nanjing for many years, and finally made some contributions and was transferred to the Beijing Division. And Cao Wei has been a Jinyi guard for less than two years, and now he is serving as a Jinyi Wei thousand households in the Beijing Division like him, and it is also the rarest inner city thousand households, so Ren Hao's careful liver is a little unbalanced.
Cao Wei was puzzled: "Brother Ren, is it possible that the grade of the thousand households in the inner city is higher than that of the other thousand households?" ”
Ren Hao smiled bitterly: "That's not it, all the thousand households are the same." The virtuous brother has just come to Beijing not long ago, and he must not understand the rules, there are three kinds of thousands of households in our brocade clothes, one is the local thousand households, just like the foolish brother used to serve in Nanjing, that is, the magistrate.
The second kind is like Brother Fool, who serves in the thousands of households in the outer city of the Beijing Division, presumably the virtuous brother also understands that the thousands of households in the Beijing Division are easier to be promoted than the local thousands of households, and they have more weight, and when they are a little older, they can also request to be transferred to the place, and they may be able to get a position of affairs at that time.
And the third type of thousand households is the inner city thousand households like the virtuous brother, over the years, our Jinyi Wei's commanders, pacification envoys, commanders and even commanders have been promoted from the inner city thousand households, that is the real future! ”
"I can't imagine that there is such a statement, so Mu Shuai is still very good to me, and I won't scold him behind my back in the future......"
Ren Hao's cheeks twitched, and he arched his hand and said: "Brother Xian, we are all from Nanjing, and you will have to bring ......your brother more in the future."
Cao Wei said with a smile: "It's not worth carrying it, our brothers should be watching and helping each other in the Beijing Division, Brother Ren will give silver every time he comes to visit his younger brother, and the younger brother is really a little unhappy, and Brother Ren will know in the future that this silver is definitely not given for nothing!" ”
When it came to the silver, Ren Hao was a little distressed, covered his chest and said: "Brother Xian, Brother Yu is a little unwell, let's go back, if Brother Xian has time, you might as well come to visit Brother Yu, and then Brother Yu will invite you to drink!" ”
"It's easy to say, let Brother Ren walk slowly, and come often when he has time...... Bring a salute. Ha! The little brother laughed, look at you. ”
Ren Hao left in a hurry, and he found that the one in front of him was a Pixiu, and he couldn't feed it enough.
Zhang Meng scratched his head and said: "My lord, Ren Qianhu has changed a lot, when he was in Nanjing, his tone was bold and bold, but now it seems to have become a little ...... cringe, and they have all learned to chew words! ”
"Silly boy, Ren Qianhu was a dragon when he was in Nanjing, but now he has too many scruples in Beijing, and he has become an earthworm. Don't you see he's been in trouble lately? He didn't just come to visit his official today, but he also came to ask for help. ”
"Trouble! What's the trouble? ”
"I'll find out when I visit him in a few days......"
