Chapter 216: Yin and Yang Weirdness

Zhang Quanli really didn't expect Zhou Ning to refuse, Zhou Ning's refusal to sue Qin Jin made him feel surprised, but the accident was just an accident, Zhou Ning's refusal to accept his gift was not just an accident, but more of a shock. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Zhang Quanli has not seen Qing officials, and he has also seen officials who refuse to accept gifts. However, those so-called expensive gifts are not the same as the three-entry mansion.

How expensive is gold and jade? The three-entry house with a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters is in the capital, and this value is really indescribable.

The capital, as the saying goes, is the imperial city, and the most in the imperial city are the royal relatives, and it is this realistic national condition that determines that the houses in the capital are good, big, fine and beautiful.

Zhang Quanli can also be regarded as a relative of the royal family, he is only rich and not expensive, but this wealth is definitely a real wealth.

He was an inconspicuous figure among the royal nobles, but in the eyes of the common people, his height was equivalent to Mount Everest.

Although he looks a little vulgar, he is not really straightforward, he has a concept of money, he was not born rich, he laid this foundation through his sister's power and his own efforts.

He knew too well how much blood and sweat the mansion he was going to give to Zhou Ning meant to be, thinking that when he didn't even have a grass house in the capital, he could only sleep in the bunk in the lower room of the Yunwang Mansion.

He has seen a lot of powerful people in Yunwang's Mansion, and he is fed up with poverty, as long as he can turn over and become a master, he can take out any conscience and feed the dogs.

After more than ten years of hard work, he was finally able to enter and leave the palace of the prince, and he had a deep or shallow friendship with most of the royal relatives.

The so-called reading 10,000 books is not as good as traveling 10,000 miles, and traveling 10,000 miles is not as good as reading countless people. Zhang Quanli is really reading countless people now, and his eyes are not vicious, but he can also see seven or eight points.

Only this Zhou Ning made him unable to see through no matter how he looked at it, said that he was stupid, he was thoughtful and determined the case like a god, and he saw everything very far-reaching, saying that he was smart, and gave him a set of three-entry mansions for nothing, he refused directly without even thinking about it, didn't he hear clearly?

Of course, there are gifts that can't be given, and there are countless gifts that Zhang Quanli himself refuses.

There are always reasons and helplessness to refuse to accept, either because you know that you can't do other people's things, or you don't want to do things for others and refuse to accept them, or you give gifts that are too light and disdain to accept them.

But he gave it to Zhou Ning's house, just to repay him for saving his life, firstly, he did not ask for anything, and secondly, he asked himself if this gift was not light.

Zhang Quanli looked at Zhou Ning in a daze, the muscles on his face twitched one by one, he really didn't know what to say, didn't he know what to do?

"What are you afraid of idle?" Zhang Quanli said and remembered that the daily expenses of the servants in the courtyard were very large, and Zhou Ning was probably worried about this problem. "The monthly silver of the people in the family is mine, you don't have to worry about it."

"Hahaha" Zhou Ning laughed, this Zhang Quanli is also a small number of people, and he still needs to calculate people's monthly silver for a set of mansions? If you can't afford to hire so many people, you will be dismissed in part.

"Brother Zhang is really happy, it's just that I'm used to being whimsical alone, and I'm not comfortable with too many people and many rules." Zhou Ning said that if you don't want it, you don't want it, and things that come in vain will be sick sooner or later.

Zhou Ning would rather be poor than accept other people's things for no reason, not to mention that Zhou Ning is not poor, and he doesn't need to cut down on food and clothing.

How can a person who has read the books of the sages since childhood not know that 'unrighteousness is rich and more valuable than me like floating clouds'? Zhou Ning kept in mind that ill-gotten gains were a mountain of gold, and he couldn't be moved.

Regardless of whether Zhang Quanli's house came from the right way or not, just saying that Zhou Ning himself has not done anything of equal value to this house, the so-called merit is not unacceptable, and he resolutely does not want it if he does not deserve it.

He knew Zhang Quanli's thoughts in his heart, and he knew that Zhang Quanli just wanted to repay him. He was also selfish when he rescued Zhang Quanli, he didn't want Zhang Quanli to have an accident in his jurisdiction, he just didn't want to make trouble for himself.

It's easy to take other people's things, but it's hard to return them. Now Zhang Quanli has nothing to ask for him, but it does not mean that he will always have nothing to ask for in the future.

After receiving someone's house, he left the handle in the hands of others, which is equivalent to tying him to a rope. Zhang Quanli is by no means a good type, and Zhou Ning doesn't want to be a dead friend with him.

"If there are too many suspects, I will send all my subordinates away, what is the reason?" Zhang Quanli was simply stunned by him.

Zhou Ning walked out of the door with his legs, and took Lu Qing to step on the wooden stairs and go downstairs, Zhang Quanli had to take two steps and follow them downstairs.

The shopkeeper walked to the front, and when he reached the first floor, he walked towards a table by the window in the hall. Zhou Ning looked in that direction and saw an official with two soldiers sitting there.

The clothes worn by the official were similar to those of the servants, except that the placket of the servant's clothes was black and red, while the placket of the man's clothes was black and dark yellow.

This distinction is only used to distinguish the officials in the capital from the local officials, and the same officials feel superior in the capital.

This is called the seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, and the prime minister's housekeeper is equivalent to the seven-rank official, so it can be seen that the seven-rank official is worth in Beijing?

The person who came must be much higher than the level of the prime minister's housekeeper, who is the gatekeeper of the palace. Zhou Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw his posture.

is also an official in Dajing, the Beijing official is arrogant, and the local official is discouraged, where can this be reasonable?

"Official, Gongzi Zhou is here." The shopkeeper walked up to the errand officer and bowed in reply.

The errand officer turned his back to Zhou Ning, he slowly brought the wine glass in his hand to his lips, and stopped instead of drinking.

He looked left and right, and said to the two soldiers, "Why are they all looking at me?" Drink. ”

The two soldiers drank it all with a smile on their faces, and the officer also tilted his neck to dry the wine in the glass, he put down the cup and commanded the two soldiers: "Pour it up, pour it." ”

One of the two soldiers picked up his glass, and the other grabbed the jug, and hurriedly filled it for him. At this time, he glanced up at the shopkeeper and asked, "What about people?" ”

Zhou Ning stood less than three steps behind him, and the shopkeeper pointed at Zhou Ning and replied, "It's right here." ”

He reluctantly turned his head, glanced Zhou Ning up and down, and said, "You can't come, are you waiting for me to invite you?" ”

Zhou Ning didn't expect that he would be so yin and yang as soon as he took a face, what can't he call it? Where are you going? I'm afraid I'll trample you to death if I go any further.

"Don't dare." Zhou Ning didn't want to conflict with him, so he politely said: "I didn't know that the lord was here, and he never looked far away to beg for forgiveness." ”
