Chapter 146: Old Rascal
Many feelings in the world are very pure at first, but with the continuous change of things and things around them, people always inadvertently add a lot of things to their feelings, so the feelings become turbid, driven by interests, betrayal and lies.
Now Cao Wei makes a profit of more than 10,000 taels of silver from selling perfumes every month, which is not much, which can make everyone feel satisfied and have pleasure from the heart.
The days to come are still very long, Cao Wei still wants to do more things and earn more silver, but people's hearts are like ghosts and unpredictable, he doesn't know if the current brothers and partners will have the same heart in the future, will anyone have a different mind, will someone not be able to withstand the temptation?
The biggest loss is often not money, but the loss of the love of fighting together, so now at the beginning, Cao Wei said it very thoroughly, if someone gives up his love in the future to seek benefits, he doesn't mind beating this person into the dust......
Zhu Houzhao's study is very spacious, and five or six people don't feel crowded in it at all. Tang Yin and Wang Shouren are Jinshi, who can enter high and high schools among tens of thousands of people, and their literary skills are beyond doubt.
Tang Yin often wanders outside the world during class, or simply closes his eyes and takes a nap, but he is talented and intelligent, and often has unique insights into the questions raised by the masters, and the articles he writes are even more flowery, which makes the masters praise them and feel ashamed. This has gone beyond the scope of being a scholar, and has reached the point of learning God.
Wang Shouren is not as smart as Tang Yin, he is diligent and studious, well-read, often asks the masters about what he is puzzled about, and the articles he writes are square, which looks pleasing to the eye, and makes people unable to find faults, and is a thorough scholar.
Cao Wei's foundation is too weak, but the masters who teach him are all literary masters, and his explanation of the scriptures and meanings is from shallow to deep, so he has made rapid progress, which can be described as a rapid progress.
It's just that his words are too ugly, like chicken chops, and the masters swear that they have never seen a uglier word than this, and his words have been ugly out of a certain realm, which is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
There are many ministers who teach Zhu Houzhao, most of them are high-powered ministers, and they were surprised to find that since there were three more attendants in the East Palace, the prince's attendance in class has been much higher, and the number of times he sleeps has also decreased a lot, and he can occasionally put forward very pertinent opinions on current affairs, which makes them ecstatic and call the successors of the Ming Dynasty!
The reason why Zhu Houzhao really calmed down and studied was because Cao Wei said that there would be a test in three months, divided into four parts: scripture and righteousness, poetry, art, and current political opinions, and the last of the four of them would take out a month's bonus and distribute it to the other three.
Money doesn't matter, but face is very important, how can you be the prince at the bottom? So Zhu Houzhao began to study hard, wanting to compete with Cao Wei for a third place. As for the first and second, Zhu Houzhao didn't have this mind, because there were two beasts that could not be surpassed......
After Yang Tinghe's lecture ended, Cao Wei sent him out of the East Palace, and was just about to return when he saw Mu Bin leaning against the corner of the wall and waving to him. I don't know why, he now has a feeling of fear when he sees Mu Bin, just like the little white rabbit sees the big bad wolf and panics.
"I don't know how to say hello when I see the old man, I don't have any courtesy at all, I have been a waiter for two days, and I am very knowledgeable, is it possible that I will not recognize my elders?"
Mu Bin stepped forward and picked him up with one arm, Cao Wei swung his limbs and shouted for help, the guard standing at the gate of the East Palace knew the ruthless man who was committing the murder, and instantly made the wisest choice, motionless like a sculpture, pretending not to see or hear.
Mu Bin laughed and said, "Boy, even if you cut your throat, no one will come to save you, so you should obediently obey the old man!" ”
Cao Wei no longer struggled, and said with a wry smile: "Mu Shuai, what are you going to do?" We have something to say, don't do it......"
"Sven?" Mu Bin laughed wildly and said: "The old man doesn't know what Sven is all his life, so what "beauty pass" hurriedly sent a few bottles to the old man's house, and he had to ask the old man to speak in person, there was no filial piety at all!" ”
Cao Wei was stunned and said, "Mu Shuai, what kind of perfume do you want for a rough man?" It can't be some special fetish, right? ”
Mu Bin slapped him on the head and said, "Your aunt has asked the old man many times, but the old man is an honest official and can't afford such an expensive thing, a small bottle of perfume costs fifty gold, grandma's, the black money is all earned by your kid." ”
Cao Wei felt a swelling pain in his head, and almost fainted, so he hurriedly said: "Mu Shuai, the kid will send the perfume over tonight, can you let the kid down first?" ”
As soon as Mu Bin's arm was loosened, Cao Wei fell to the ground and suddenly groaned in pain.
"An adult man, his body is so weak, let alone a long life, even the bed is not like a tiger and a wolf. A good man is like a weak chicken, and he doesn't know what shame is! ”
"Old rascal!" Cao Wei scolded secretly in his heart, then got up from the ground with difficulty, and said, "You are right, the kid will definitely try his best to temper his physique in the future." You didn't come to the kid today just for perfume, did you? ”
"Naturally not, there is an errand to be handed over to you now, which is specifically for you to make meritorious contributions! Look at it, the old man has always been concerned about you, and he thinks about you as soon as he has merit, and if there are any good things to consciously send to the old man's house in the future, and then wait for the old man to ask for it, he can't kill you! ”
"I knew it wasn't that simple......," Cao Wei sighed and said, "As long as you look for me, it will be fine, but the kid has a word first, don't sell your hue, don't do anything to lose gold and silver, and don't do anything that is tiring and troublesome...... Don't stare at me like that, let's talk about things first! ”
Mu Bin's face became solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "The day before yesterday, when the brothers of the Thousand Households in the outer city were on duty, they found that there was a group of people driving a carriage, sneaky, and their movements were very suspicious, so they wanted to go up to search.
The charioteer was also vigilant, and without saying a word, he took out a knife from the carriage and fought with our brothers, and finally lost two brothers, and then captured this man alive. When the brothers opened the carriage, they saw that it was a cart full of firearms......"
"Firearms!" Cao Wei exclaimed: "The smuggling of firearms is complicit, who is so bold as to dare to do such a headless deed?" ”
"This is the crux of the matter, Your Majesty has an order to find out the person behind it, but the brother of Beizhen Fusi tortured this person, and he couldn't get any information......"
"So you're coming to me, right......" Cao Wei sighed and said: "Mu Shuai, you can really find the wrong person this time, the kid is a scholar, and the most unsightly thing is the scene of flesh and blood, which is really helpless." The kid still has some soup at home, so I won't chat with you and say goodbye...... Alas, what are you doing, let me down, I'm going to cry for help! ”
Mu Bin looked at Cao Wei who was caught in his armpit, and said: "Boy, if you do this well, the old man will let you govern the Fusi of Beizhen, if you don't do it well, there will be no idlers in the Jinyi Guard, and the old man will send you to the East Factory as a secret sentinel!" ”
The pacification envoy is the fourth grade, and the authority is very great, which is equivalent to commanding the servants. What's more, there is still a beautiful girl at home, Cao Wei didn't want to be a eunuch, so he hurriedly said: "Mu Shuai, I'm gone, you let me down, let's go see that prisoner now......"
