Chapter 11 Double Happiness Comes to the Door

Every time Jin Yiwei goes out, especially to take away a certain official, it represents four words.

Slaughtered all over the house.

This time, regardless of whether Kong Yougui is really greedy for mercy, there is no good end, Chongzhen, who has not been on the throne for more than three years, has just eradicated the eunuch party and stabilized the dynasty.

The next step is to buy the military heart of the border pass, and tell the border soldiers that he is different from the Emperor of the Apocalypse, he is a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, you can rest assured that you will kill the enemy at the border pass, and the emperor will call the shots for you if you have anything.

won the money, and bought the heart of the army, today can be said to be a double happiness, Chongzhen smiled rarely: "Aiqing will take office immediately tomorrow, and I will make more contributions to Daming in the future." ”

became an official official of the imperial court, and solved Kong Yougui's big problem, Zhu Shun is also happy: "Weichen must live up to the emperor's cultivation." ”

There are still a bunch of government affairs to deal with in the Qianqing Palace, and this matter has ended, so Chongzhen encouraged Zhu Shun to return to the palace in a few words.

When the West French people left here, everyone patted Zhu Shun heavily, and under his incomprehensible eyes, he laughed and left, and hurriedly went to take the silver he had won.

The family is still waiting for the money to buy rice for the pot.

The Donglin Party and the remaining ministers and ministers all stared at Zhu Shun with resentful eyes, and he felt a little furious in his heart.

Second uncle Zhu Zhongyi silently pressed the worn Yanling knife on his waist and silently blocked behind Zhu Shun.

Zhu Shun saw the second uncle's action, and his heart suddenly became stable, you must know that with the second uncle's skills, even if he is lame, it is not a problem for one person to fight five or six strong men alone.

The uncle and nephew went home with two good news and a very good mood.

Zhu Shun's father didn't go to work today, and went to the Guandi Temple ten miles away to burn incense, hoping that his son could win the competition and glorify his ancestors.

When Zhu Shun's father used to go to Guandi Temple to burn incense, he always bought a stick of incense, but today he made an exception and bought three sticks in pain, and solemnly kowtowed three times to Master Guan.

When he came home nervously, he saw his son sitting on the edge of the old brick well, his heart was beating very much, and he was not so nervous when he married his daughter-in-law.

Father Zhu Shun wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, for fear that God would give their family hope and send their family to hell.

Zhu Shun saw his father standing at the door, didn't come in, didn't come in, and knew that his father took this matter too seriously.

It is estimated that as long as he can become an official, his father will be willing even if he dies now, and said with a smile: "Dad, win." ”

Zhu Shun's father learned of this great news, and his expression made Zhu Shun incomprehensible, there was no cheerful cheers, and there were no tears of joy and tears.

Squatted silently at the door, without any expression.

This frightened Zhu Shun's family, and thought that something was wrong, so a group of people hurriedly ran over.

Walking over to take a look, Father Zhu Shun was silently crying there, and his mouth kept chattering: "Dad, grandpa, our old Zhu family has finally come out, and there is a big official." ”

Zhu Shun saw that his father was in tears, so he was relieved, just vented the emotions in his heart, and was about to help his father up, when he saw the third uncle walking over with a cloth jacket.

The third uncle saw the eldest brother squatting at the door and wept, and said with a smile: "Brother, look at you, what are you crying on the big day, look at what this is." ”

The third uncle carefully opened the opening of the cloth blanket, revealing pale yellow flour, and several teenagers in the family cheered excitedly.

When the third uncle saw several children in the family, he cheered and was very useful: "In order to celebrate that our family has a big official, I went to the market to buy ten catties of carata flour and two taels of sugar. ”

"Let's eat sugar nest today."

The Ming Dynasty had major disasters every year, either drought or locust plague, and all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes were increased year after year.

It's good to be able to stutter, let alone eat this kind of sugar nest, which is a good thing to eat during the Chinese New Year.

Zhu Shun works as a caster in Wang Gong Factory, his father is a potter in the official kiln, and his mother usually weaves cloth at home to supplement the family, and can barely eat dry mouth.

At the house of Zhu Shun's two uncles, they can only drink thin food every day, with wheat bran cakes, and they can barely eat half full.

Huangcun is a big village, not only in the families of Zhu Shun's two uncles, but also in thousands of households in Huangcun, and some of them can't even afford to eat wheat bran cakes.

The pot of wine and two taels of pork that Zhu Shun brought a few days ago were extravagant and scary for the Zhu family, and in their eyes, they were the emperor's imperial meals.

It's no wonder that Zhu Shun's younger brothers jumped up happily when they heard that they could eat sugar nests.

Father Zhu Shun remembered something, wiped a handful of snot and tears, and quickly stood up: "The third child hurry up, while it's still dark, hurry up and give the things to your sister-in-law." ”

"The province has to light the lamp when it's dark, and the pot of wine only drank three glasses yesterday, and I'm happy today, let's finish the wine."

Hearing that the wine was drunk, the second uncle grinned.

I rubbed at the door for so long, and when the sugar nest was ready, it was dark.

Father Zhu Shun, who was reluctant to light the oil lamp, simply moved the lame Eight Immortals table at home to the courtyard, and ate this table to celebrate the banquet by moonlight.

Zhu Shun's family happily ate in the courtyard, but there was a person in the capital who couldn't eat a bite.

Jin Shang, surnamed Huang, who poured blood mold, finally calculated the money to be lost, that is, he lost all the bets in the gambling game, and there was still a huge difference of nearly 300,000 taels.

If you want to make up for this shortfall, you can only sell all the houses and shops in the capital, as well as thousands of acres of fertile land in the countryside, to repay all the compensation.

It is equivalent to decades of hard work ruined in one fell swoop, and the family business that has worked hard for most of his life is gone.

Jin Shang, surnamed Huang, thought that his family business for most of his life was gone, and he panicked in his heart, and tears fell down.

You must know that over the years, the Jin merchant surnamed Huang has suffered a lot in order to smuggle weapons and food for the Jurchens, and has worked hard for most of his life, and all his belongings are gone.

People dare to take risks for the sake of double the benefits, they can deny their relatives for the sake of twice the benefits, and dare to trample on all the laws of the world for the sake of three times the benefits.

What's more, this is 300,000 taels, all of which are exchanged for cash and stacked together, and they can be piled up into a small mountain.

The businessman surnamed Huang had a horizontal heart, and he didn't stop doing it, so he simply didn't admit it, and when the time came, he sent five thousand taels of silver to several Shangshu of the Donglin Party.

"Sir, sir." The steward suddenly ran over from outside in a panic, and said with a sad face: "That young master has come to exchange silver." ”

The merchant surnamed Huang picked up the bucket cup, blew the non-existent heat, squinted and smiled: "Go and call the family members." ”

Before the family came, the debt collector had already come to the door of the lobby, and when he heard the man's name, he knelt directly on the ground, and did not dare to move.

"Our family, Wang Chengen."
