(107) Stripping the silk and removing the cocoon

Jiang Yaoyao immediately understood Yun Xiangrong's thoughts.

So he said suspiciously: "Yang Yuanwai, I heard that you didn't come to the capital alone this time, could it be that your wife also came recently?" ”

"No, there are a lot of things at home, the insiders didn't come, I'm a big man, and I don't know how to take care of myself, so I hired a mother-in-law to help with the shabu." Yang Xingkang said.

"Yes, the man will deal with these chores there, and hire one who should hire one, they all say that rice is expensive in the capital, and the cost of living is very high, I don't know how much silver it costs for Yang Yuan to hire a mother-in-law." Yun Xiang said innocently.

"Huh? Oh, five hundred wen. Yang Xingkang said.

"It's so cheap, Yang Yuanwai, I think the mother-in-law you are looking for is really good, she has a vision for buying clothes, she is careful in her work, her clothes and shoes are well matched, and the clothes are ironed seriously." Yun Xiangrong said.

"Yes, yes." Yang Xingkang said,

In fact, although it has only been a few months, Yang Xingkang is already very satisfied with Qiao Niang, the two have never quarreled, and Qiao Niang will not be like her own mother, she can't do anything well and has no ability.

Yang Xingkang thinks that Qiao Niang is not only good-looking, but also gentle, and knowledgeable, and the few recent transactions in his hands are all ideas from Qiao Niang's help, she is really prosperous.

I hadn't seen her for a few hours, and I missed her very much.

Even I will have evil thoughts recently, hoping that Qiao Niang can stalk me and not let go, so that I will be happy to marry Qiao Niang, and I will be a flat wife, and I will not go back to my hometown, so I will live with Qiao Niang in the capital.

Besides, isn't it normal for a man in the capital to have three wives and four concubines? I won't go out and around again.

"Yang Yuanwai, my sister has never been far away, this is also the first time to come to the capital, don't tease her, what kind of hired mother-in-law, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet does not understand, I still don't understand? This is called a dew couple in the capital, and there is nothing, there are many things in the capital, as long as the men and women are willing, no one will stop them. Jiang Yaoyao said.

"Huh." Yang Xingkang admitted it.

"Yang Yuanwai, where do you live?" Yun Xiangrong asked again.

"Guiyifang." Yang Xingkang said.

"Oh, I know that in that place, it costs two thousand taels of silver to buy a house, and ten taels of silver a month to rent a house." Yun Xiangrong said.

This is not nonsense, I really know, because Jiang Qingchen has a house in Guiyifang, a small courtyard, which is rented out for ten taels of silver a month. The assessed house price is 2,000 taels of silver.

"What you are talking about is the price of renting a yard, I have so much silver, I just rent a single room, and the rent is less than 500 yuan a month." Yang Xingkang said.

"Oh, when I came in just now, I heard Grandpa Guo say that you spent 10,000 taels of silver to redeem your Oiran, I thought you were living in the capital and living in the house you bought." Yun Xiangrong said.

Yang Xingkang ate more than a dozen pastries before and after, people were not hungry, and his brain turned around, knowing that Grandpa Guo came to ask about 10,000 taels of silver, and now Grandpa Guo is not there, but this matter must also be explained.

"Second young grandmother, there is something for you to talk to Grandpa Guo." Yang Xingkang said.

Jiang Yaoyao nodded.

"Reselling smuggling guns and tea, I didn't do it right, I won't do it in the future, I thought that the fine issued by Jingzhao Yamen was not attached to the actual situation, I wanted my uncle to help me talk about it, now I don't think it's necessary, I'll pay the ticket and it's over." Yang Xingkang said.

In fact, when Yun Xiangrong saw Yang Xingkang at the beginning, he had a good impression of him, he seemed to be a simple and honest person, and when I heard him say this today, I felt that this person was still very reasonable. A lot of times you just don't see it clearly.

"A few days ago, the matter of the Oiran was like this, Qiao Niang, it was the woman who was with me, her own sister was the Oiran Hua Lili, saying that she was taken by Zhong Jingliu, the second son of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and Gu Zhirui, the son of the Ministry of Shangshu, fell in love with her at the same time, Hua Lili didn't want anyone to follow, so let me take her 10,000 taels of silver to help redeem myself. Later, the two sons fought, but this matter really has nothing to do with me. Yang Xingkang said.

"Yang Yuanwai, did you go to Jingzhao Mansion to record a confession on the day of the accident?" Yun Xiangrong suddenly asked.

"No, I didn't deliberately go, the main thing is that I saw that the fight started, and I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to take care of the two women, so I found the old bustard and asked her to send us away from the back door and go to the house that had been rented before. There is also the fact that I didn't have enough money that day, I was afraid that if I went to record a confession, I would be directly detained by Jingzhao Mansion and asked me to call a fine, and I didn't have any acquaintances in the capital, so no one would come to protect me. Yang Xingkang said.

"Qiao Niang must be very beautiful, right?" Yun Xiangrong said suddenly.

"Yes, how do you know?" Yang Xingkang said.

"How can a person whose sister is an Oiran not look good?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"That's right." Yang Xingkang said.

"Yang Yuanwai, I think you must be a very good person, I'll be honest, don't be angry, you look quite ordinary, but you look safe. Such a beautiful woman, who doesn't care about her reputation, is willing to follow you, it must be because you are particularly able to make money, no, no, if you can make money, you will not rent a single room in a courtyard, that is, you are particularly charming, funny, humorous or very good at coaxing women to be happy. This must be very popular in the capital. Yun Xiang seemed to think very seriously.

"Sister, don't think nonsense, Yang Yuanwai, let you see and laugh, she is a girl who has not been out of the cabinet, she knows all day long to read Yue Gongzi's novels, her mind is full of love and water, she doesn't understand anything, and lives in her own fantasy. This is the capital, a realistic theme of the capital, that girl will be married because the person to marry is particularly charming, funny, humorous or very good at coaxing the woman to be happy, so the bride price will be halved? I've seen a lot of them, because the second family gave a lot of dowry, and I wasn't afraid of being ashamed of returning the first family's relatives. Ding Yaoyao said.

No matter how stupid Yang Xingkang is, he doesn't think it's right, this is not his sister educating his sister at all, this is completely for himself, this is what they want to ask themselves what Qiao Niang likes about herself?

"Qiao Niang and I are both foreigners, and we just want to find a companion for each other, and we don't have so many other ideas. Maybe the fate of leaving the capital that day was broken like this. Yang Xingkang said.

"Yang Yuanwai, forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, did you tell Qiao Niang about the fact that you have relatives in the Fuguo Mansion?" Jiang Yaoyao said.

"No, absolutely never said, before coming to the capital, I promised my sister that I would never come to disturb the Fuguo Mansion when I entered the capital this time. Oh, I went to my uncle before, it was because I was short of money at the time, and I couldn't get so many fines, but now I have okay on hand, so I haven't looked for my uncle again? Yang Xingkang said.

"So you haven't been doing illegal business lately, have you?" Jiang Yaoyao asked.

"No, no, there won't be any in the future, the recent business was all introduced by Qiao Niang, and it was all legitimate business." Yang Xingkang said.

"Eldest sister, look, this is love, don't disbelieve it, other women's women are beautiful, good to people, don't want fame, don't look good, don't want money, and help make money, if you want to say that this is not love, I can't explain it." Yun Xiangrong said.

"I can't explain it, is this trying to do laundry, cooking, tidying up the house for the man, or is there another intention?" Jiang Yaoyao said.

"Second young grandmother, you really know how to laugh, I'm a poor old man, I don't have anything, she has other intentions? What intentions can it have? Yang Xingkang said.

In fact, this is also a question that Yun Xiangrong has been thinking about.

"Then I'll open my mind, you said that the Oiran redeemed his body that day, and the two sons fought, if the forbidden army came late, or the luck was almost good, Yang Yuanwai you were unfortunately hit, and rumors were created outside, saying that it was the second son of the Fuguo Mansion, greedy for women, but he loved face, and let the eldest brother come forward to help buy the gorgeous Oiran, and the eldest brother had to go out of helplessness to please the little grandfather, what do you think?" Yun Xiangrong said.

"It's impossible, my uncle is not lustful at all, how can he do such a thing? Nobody believed it. Yang Xingkang said.

"Then how could you have 10,000 taels of silver, if it wasn't for the little grandfather to give it to you?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"I'm the silver of the Oiran." Yang Xingkang said.

"Then if the Oiran doesn't admit that she sent it, who do you think can prove it, to be precise, that you were no longer there at the time, who will know that this is the Oiran's silver." Yun Xiangrong said.

"No, no, Qiao Niang is not this kind of person." Yang Xingkang was more like convincing himself.

Now Qiao Niang no longer lives with him in Guiyifang, but lives with her sister Hua Lili, which is the place that Hua Lili rented before redeeming herself, saying that Hua Lili will leave the capital in a few days, so the two cherish this short time together.

Because he also went to see them two days ago, he found that Qiao Niang seemed to be practicing. At that time, I was surprised, and at this moment, Yun Xiangrong said this, and Yang Xingkang felt that Qiao Niang was indeed not as simple as it seemed.

"Okay, I don't know what kind of person Qiao Niang is, this needs to be checked, but she is really suspicious." Yun Xiangrong said objectively.

"My life is worthless, what can I do if I die?" Yang Xingkang said.

Yun Xiangrong understands that many people are not bad people, and they do wrong things because they don't understand.

"Do you know why the eldest prince of the Fuguo Mansion canceled the inheritance of the Duke of Guo?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"It's said that it was embezzling military salaries." Yang Xingkang said.

"You understand embezzlement of military salaries as putting the country's money in your own pocket, right?" Yun Xiangrong asked.

"yes, isn't it?" Yang Xingkang said.

"Chapter 1, Article 3 and Article 4 of the "Western Hanging Regulations" clearly stipulate that in addition to force majeure factors, which are the causes of natural and man-made disasters, delaying the payment of military salaries is a crime of embezzlement of military salaries. If the money and food officer dies, the commander may be convicted of dereliction of duty or embezzlement of military salaries according to the verification, and if convicted of embezzlement of military salaries, he may be sentenced according to the amount of military salaries. If the circumstances are serious, the death penalty will be imposed. I won't go into the details of the specific sentence, it's very troublesome to say, there are ten different situations. Yun Xiangrong said.

Yang Xingkang was stunned, what's wrong with the world, she was still an innocent girl just now, and she actually memorized the "Xiliang Rules" to herself at this moment, which is too crazy.
