Chapter 431: Meritorious Service (4 more monthly passes)
"I don't know!" Fang Wucai shook his head directly, and then continued: "But he arrived in Luoyang, and the old man has entrusted a friend to make an appointment with him. After the deed was completed, he was tattooed with 3,000 taels of silver, which was natural...... The old man will not come into contact with him. β
Chen Kaizhi suddenly realized, he suddenly understood, no wonder Mr. Fang asked the king of Beihai County to set up a banquet today, but since Zhang Zhong came to Luoyang, he wanted to read out the decree, and he must choose a good day and an auspicious day.
Originally...... It's all routines.
Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but bared his teeth and grinned: "How can the people in this Yan Shenggong Mansion know that death requires money!" β
Fang Wucai raised his eyes and glanced at him meaningfully: "Kaizhi, people die for money, birds die for food, do you know why many people in this world are mediocre?" β
Chen Kaizhi sighed again, this Uncle Wucai is really not the clichΓ©d Uncle at the beginning, he suddenly found that now he can also gain a lot by listening to Uncle Wucai's bragging.
So he said seriously: "Please also ask Uncle Shi for advice." β
Fang Wucai said: "Because the vast majority of people always believe that they are a mediocre person, it is precisely because of this, so they look at people, always look at it, see this, they believe that this person is a saint, look at that, feel that person is extremely noble, is an immortal among people, in fact, this is just an appearance, people in the world, like you and me, and the vast majority of people, are flesh and blood, and there are seven emotions and six YU, they encounter something, and will react like ordinary people, the reason why everyone is in awe, everyone worships it, It's just that these people have different halos on their bodies, such as the Holy Father of Nayan, everyone in the world respects him and treats him as a saint, but in fact, ...... He is still a human being, stripped of his bloodline, his noble status, he is just an ordinary man, you understand this, then there is no awe, so...... Anyone can take advantage of it, use their psychology, use their possible reactions, isn't that exactly what they are comfortable with? β
"It's like you didn't believe that the old man could buy a scholar for 300,000 taels of silver, this is because, no matter what you usually think, but deep down in your heart, you always have a trace of awe for this Yan Sheng Gong Mansion, so he doesn't dare to think about it, and he doesn't dare to try, but in fact, anyone in this world has a price, even if it is Yan Sheng Gong, it is the same, because he is also a human being, he is a human being, he also likes gorgeous clothes, likes food, likes more luxurious mansions, as long as he still has YU, How can you not buy it? β
"As for that Zhang Zhong, not to mention, as long as there is silver, what is he not happy about? Besides, it's just a gesture? Do you think that with Xuejue, you won't eat the fireworks of the world? It's true that you are also a student, but why are you so stingy and picky, if Uncle Shi borrows 350,000 taels of silver from you, are you willing to borrow it? β
It makes sense at the beginning, but later, it's ...... How does it feel like a ploy?
There is so much foreshadowing ahead, and so many words that seem to carry a lot of weight, but it is obvious that the real purpose is the last sentence - to borrow money!
Chen Kaizhi immediately said: "Don't borrow." β
"Look." Fang Wucai glared at him and said: "I was told by the old man, so I said, what Yan Shenggong Mansion, what scholars, students, are all stinky and shameless, and they are all people who are open-minded when they see money." β
Chen Kaizhi was embarrassed, but he was powerless to refute, and in fact, he didn't bother to refute.
He remembered something, and couldn't help but say, "Senior Uncle, you have rejected the senior lord of the Yan Holy Duke now, and you are only afraid that the Yan Holy Prince's ...... You have to be angry. β
Fang Wucai sneered, "What about being angry? I spent the money, he took the money, did he still shout loudly that I bought him this scholar? He is now more worried that I will talk too much, not to mention that I rejected this scholar, and then I will definitely praise Shilin, at this time, Yan Sheng Gong should continue to reward him, and the old man is now a model for scholars in the world. β
He looked very stunned, and then said, "What is the value of this silver flower." Come, tea ......."
Chen Kaizhi took a sip of tea, looked at the slightly drunk Uncle Wucai, who looked like Lao Tzu was very bullish, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart!
What a demon this is, to tell the truth, the life experience that I have learned from others in my two lives, this routine, compared with my uncle, is really a small thing, people are only unthinkable, there is nothing that can't be done, and their own experience is learned from the ups and downs, in this world, there are still mountains outside the mountains, there are people outside the people, and they need to be cautious.
Chen Kaizhi thought wildly, sat idle for half an hour, then got up, looked out the window, it was already dark outside, but Chen Kaizhi's eyesight was good, but he still saw Chen Zhengdao still standing outside the building, waiting patiently.
"Uncle Shi, Your Highness is still outside."
Fang Wucai pursed his lips before saying, "Let him wait, don't worry." β
At this moment, I saw someone hurriedly come to Chen Zhengdao's side and say something, Chen Zhengdao was a little anxious, and actually began to walk towards the attic, Chen Kaizhi said: "Your Highness is coming in." β
Fang Wucai smiled slightly and said, "Old man, it's almost time." β
"What?" Chen Kaizhi looked sideways and looked at Uncle Wucai in surprise, feeling puzzled.
Sure enough, Chen Zhengdao entered the attic and knocked on the door of the study, and Fang Wu said lightly: "Come in." β
As soon as Chen Zhengdao saw Mr. Fang, he hurriedly said, "Sir, sir......"
"I know." Fang Wucai said: "Isn't it just that someone sent a little courtesy?" Look at your startled look. β
Chen Zhengdao couldn't help but be stunned: "Sir...... Sir this also knows? That's right, King Zhao and King Liang, as well as Wang Shangshu and Wu Siqing and others, all prepared gifts and sent them, all for Mr., to show respect, especially King Zhao, King Zhao ordered someone to send a jar of Tianshan jade brew, saying that it has been treasured for more than ten years, please Mr. taste. β
Tianshan jade brew is the imperial wine of the Northern Yan Kingdom, ordinary people, even if they want to drink, they can't drink it, not to mention that it is still treasured for more than ten years, and it is almost priceless in the market.
Chen Zhengdao was shocked, in this world, there is nothing that Mr. Fang did not expect.
Fang Wucai smiled and said: "These gifts, Your Highness put them in the treasury, the old man knows that you are now strapped for money, the old man is not rare These things, you keep them, the New Year is about to end, the old man is alone, it doesn't matter, just ask for food and clothing, but you are different, you have to raise a large family." β
"Besides, how come the old man didn't know that they would prepare a courtesy? What do you think the old man told you to wait outside? β
Chen Zhengdao looked moved, and then quickly shook his head and said: "Mr. and I are like father and son, this gift was given to Mr. by them, how can I ask for it?" No, never, if I want it, is it still human? Mr. keep it for use. β
Fang Wucai nodded, then looked at Chen Kaizhi, and smiled: "Kaizhi, you pick some and go, it's the New Year." β
Chen Kaizhi also smiled, he was really happy, and said very calmly: "This dare is good." β
He was still worried that Uncle Wu Cai had taken nine hundred and ninety-nine taels of silver from him, and now he was just making up for the loss.
Chen Zhengdao suddenly glared at Chen Kaizhi angrily, although he didn't know why Mr. Fang was like this to this Chen Kaizhi, but he also understood that since Mr. was like this, there must be his deep meaning, but he really didn't look down on Chen Kaizhi as a brazen thief who even cheated on eating and drinking.
Chen Kaizhi pretended to be fine, and immediately went to choose some gifts, all of which were rare and precious. That day, he was naturally not polite, and let people hit a small half barrel, thinking about going back to reward the Qiu Ba people in the warrior camp.
It's just that on the way back this time, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, what happened tonight was really bizarre, and in a blink of an eye, his uncle became hot.
Now most of the ministers in Luoyang City are proud of being able to make a solid uncle, but they don't know how many people will be pitted by then, and how many people will return to poverty directly like the king of Beihai County.
It's just that...... It doesn't seem to have much to do with me!
Chen Kaizhi rode his horse slowly, laughing, no matter what he is, he is the peak master of Feiyu Peak by himself, Uncle Shi, even if he wants to learn, he is afraid that he will not be able to learn.
Early the next morning, someone came to report that someone was visiting.
After reading the famous post sent, Chen Kaizhi knew that Zhang Zhong was here.
He is a scholar, he is a student, it stands to reason, it is reasonable to come to see him, but he is in such a hurry to visit, Chen Kaizhi can't help but smile bitterly in his heart, this is to collect debts.
He asked people to prepare five thousand taels of silver, and then went down the mountain in person, and sure enough, when he saw this Xuehou yawning for days, as soon as he saw Chen Kaizhi, he smiled and said; "Chen Xuexue, I have heard of a big name for a long time."
Chen Kaizhi was so lazy, and he hurriedly saluted him: "I've seen Zhang Xuehou." β
Zhang Zhong bowed his head, the two exchanged a few words, Chen Kaizhi greeted him up the mountain, on the way up the mountain, Zhang Zhong was out of breath, obviously his body was very bad, always looked sick, but he asked: "Mi Yi's death, what did you hear in Luoyang?" β
Chen Kaizhi said in surprise: "Isn't it said that it was killed by the remnants of the sons?" β
Of course, Chen Kaizhi knew who killed Mi Yi, but he couldn't say these words, because once King Zhao was involved, he might not believe that the Yansheng Mansion was willing to continue to investigate, but because of his gaffes, he was very likely to put himself in a situation from which he could not recover.
Zhang Zhong bowed his head and said: "I am here on the order of the Holy Father, I am here to track down the whereabouts of the remnants of these sons, and I have to catch them all, but ...... There are thousands of things, but you have to be careful, they are all in the dark, and we are in the light, a little carelessness may be the end of this Mi Xuehou. β
