Chapter 133: Uncle Returns Home

When all the lifts are out of the Tribute Academy, the first test will be completed. Cao only had one night to go back to his house to rest and prepare for the second meal.

When Cao Wei left the tribute courtyard and saw the bustling streets outside, he felt like he had been released from prison. There was a carriage at the gate of the Gongyuan, and Xie Wan lifted the curtain and looked at him with a smile. Cao Wei walked over quickly and said with a smile: "Lady, I feel like we haven't seen each other for three years!" ”

Xie Wan was sweet in her heart, and said with a smile: "I haven't been in shape all day, I know that I have a poor mouth, and I don't want to get in the car soon, the egg fried rice I made for you is still hot in the pot." ”

Cao Wei taught Xie Wan to cook, but unfortunately Xie Wan was stupid in cooking and only learned egg fried rice, even then Cao Wei was very satisfied, because in this strange world, there was a woman who was sincerely willing to cook for him, which was the greatest comfort to him.

Back at Qinyang Bofu, Cao Wei took a hard bath, and when he got dressed, he made a pot of tea on the stone table in the courtyard and drank it slowly.

After a while, Xie Wan came with a lunch box, took out a big bowl of egg fried rice, a small bowl of egg drop soup and a plate of dried radish from it, and saw that Cao Wei was still drinking tea, and said angrily: "Drinking tea on an empty stomach hurts your stomach, and as the head of the family, you have no sense of proportion!" ”

Cao Wei laughed and said: "What Mrs. said is that the husband will change it, I haven't tasted Madame's craftsmanship for a long time, and I must feast on it today." It's just a person who enjoys it alone, so why don't you eat it with your husband? You feed me, I feed you, the affection stretches to the depths......"

"Phew, think beautiful!" Xie Wan took a sip of him lightly and said, "Shan'er and I are going to go to the silk village to cut some fabrics and come back, I heard that a batch of good fabrics just came from Suzhou Mansion today, and the clothes made must be extremely beautiful, you better eat alone honestly!" ”

Xie Wan turned to leave, Cao Wei shook his head and smiled bitterly, it is a natural habit for women to like beautiful clothes, and no matter ancient or modern.

"My lord, Mrs. doesn't eat with you, and my subordinates eat with you, but we can't feed each other, and my subordinates can......'t accept it for a while."

Qian Ning carried a large ceramic bowl full of stewed pig's trotters. Cao Wei glanced at it and said, "Qian Ning, do you know what it means to be a "meat eater"? It means that a person who eats meat regularly becomes mean. ”

Qian Ning pursed his lips and said, "My lord, don't think that your subordinates will be fools like Zhang Meng if they don't read much, this sentence should mean that people in high positions are always short-sighted, and your official rank can be higher than that of your subordinates......"

Cao Wei was annoyed and ashamed, and reprimanded: "Where is Zhang Meng stupid? People bought a single courtyard in the capital, and I don't know how happy I am with my mother-in-law every day, but you don't leave the official's house all day long, it's really annoying. ”

Qian Ning said proudly: "That Zhang Meng doesn't know what to do, he lives in an adult's house, eats well and sleeps well every day, and even the thatched house is better than other people's homes, he has to move out to live, isn't he a fool?" ”

"People want face, so they don't want to eat and drink for nothing......"

Qian Ning said stupidly: "The subordinates are not eating and drinking for nothing, they have inquired a lot of news when they just came back, and now they are here to tell the adults!" ”

Cao Wei became interested and said, "Could it be that what has happened outside in the past few days that this official has been in the tribute courtyard?" Tell me about it! ”

Qian Ning knew that the time had come to express himself, put down the dishes and chopsticks, wiped his mouth again, and said: "My lord, the first thing to say is that the construction of the imperial mausoleum has stopped!" ”

"The construction of the imperial mausoleum has stopped?" Cao Wei frowned and said, "Is there such a shortage of silver in the imperial court?" ”

"My lord doesn't know, this year the imperial court wants to repair the Yellow River embankment, and to replenish the ordnance, maybe the treasury really doesn't have much silver taels, now the saint does not want the people to be displaced by the flood, and does not want our Ming officers and soldiers to hold broken ordnance, so the construction of the imperial mausoleum was stopped, and 100,000 taels of silver were allocated from the inner treasury to fill the treasury."

Cao Wei was silent for a long time, gritted his teeth and said: "He is a good emperor, the best emperor of all dynasties, this imperial mausoleum official repaired it for him!" ”

"My lord, the construction of the imperial tomb costs more than tens of thousands of taels, even if you are sold, it is not worth so much silver......

"Who said that the official was going to pay his own money? The money should be paid by the ministers who profess their loyalty all day long. I don't know what those ministers have in their heads, and they don't know how to seize such a good opportunity to perform, so I have to remind them of it.

Qian Ning, you send someone to Nanjing quickly, tell Old Man Xu about the affairs in the capital, let him take the lead in donating silver, and then send the silver taels to the capital. ”

Qian Ning's eyes lit up and said, "My lord, you are really tall, so that Nanjing Xungui will be able to win the king's heart." Not only that, the nobles in Nanjing have all donated silver, and the ministers in the capital must also donate, otherwise in this comparison, the officials in Beijing will have no face......"

Cao Wei smiled and said: "Let them show their loyalty, and the official only needs to keep the money in the mansion." Is there anything else going on these days? ”

"My lord, now the imperial court wants to choose an attendant for the East Palace, accompany the prince to study, and get along day and night, presumably this attendant will have a bright future in the future!"

"Hahaha!" Cao Wei just ate a mouthful of egg fried rice and squirted out with laughter, Qian Ning wiped his face, and complained: "My lord, you are smiling, why do you want to spray your subordinates with ...... faces"

"Qian Ning, I don't know who would be so unlucky to accompany Zhu Houzhao to study with that bear child, ha! What a sin you have to do in this last life, it's funny to think about. Is there anything else to do to make this official happy again? ”

Qian Ning wiped the rice grains off his face and said mysteriously: "My lord, this third thing has something to do with you......

Cao Wei stopped laughing and said, "This official has been in the tribute courtyard for the past three days, but he hasn't caused any trouble, what is related to this official?" ”

"My lord, at yesterday's court meeting, there was an edict from the imperial history, saying that the inspector Ren Hao would collude with the inspector Ren Hao and commit great rebellion. Who knew that in the end, it was found that the inspector was not called Ren Hao at all, and he made a big oolong, and now this imperial history has become the laughing stock of the entire Jingshi. ”

Cao Wei was indignant and said: "This must be the hand of the Tang family, it is really stingy, and the official is also for the good of his Tang family, I didn't expect them to really take revenge." Fortunately, the official was witty and did not report his real name at the time, otherwise he might have been unlucky.

This group of civil officials is not soft on the military attachΓ© at all, but this mouth is still very powerful, and it can turn black into white, so it is better not to provoke the officials, and they will rely on Liu Jin to deal with them in the future......"

"Father-in-law Liu?" Qian Ning was surprised: "What does this have to do with Gonggong Liu?" ”

"This official used to be a fortune teller, and a few days ago, he pinched his fingers and calculated, Liu Jin's life was born to clash with civil officials, and he will definitely love and kill each other in the future.

Well, you must kill a few more, so that they don't have nothing to do all day long, chattering, like a swarm of flies! ”
