"Talking about business? What business do I have to talk about with him? Xu Yaozong was very displeased.

The lord of the thousand households in the imperial court, someone actually talked to him about business, which obviously lowered him to the lowest crowd.

Shinong Industry and Commerce.

Businessmen, no matter how rich they are, have no status.

"Call him in!" Mrs. Xu was not dissatisfied, and asked people to invite Shen Yue in, and immediately said to Xu Yaozong, "Master, listen to what he has to say first." You have to remember that Brother Shen is no longer here, yesterday the Shen family arrived, we didn't have a banquet to catch the wind, we have been rude, Shen Yue is no longer a weapon, and now he is also the pillar of the Shen family, and he is also the third aunt of our family. ”

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Xu got up and pulled Xu Jiao, who was still hanging her head and her eyes were rolling, to the back, and when she left, she gave Xu Yaozong a threatening look.

"Mother, I'm ......" Xu Jiao secretly glanced at her stunned father, pulled the old lady's arm and coquettishly, wanting to stay.

"I'll depend on you for everything else, not now!" Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that her daughter would be embarrassed if she stayed in the flower hall, and it would embarrass the lord if she spread it, "Your father is now a dignified and upright family, and if he messes around like before, how will he face his colleagues?" ”

Xu Jiao pouted, dissatisfied in her heart, and didn't dare to be willful anymore.

"Mother, why don't we listen to what the disciple talks to his father behind the screen?" Xu Jiao did not give up.

Shen Yue's fooling around in Fengyue made Xu Jiao angry, and it was just anger.

It is extremely normal for men to fool around in Fengyue places, even her father often drinks flower wine with his colleagues.

Guanhaiwei Town last night, why didn't you drink flower wine?

She was worried about Shen Yue's going to sea.

Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter was dead or alive, and nodded on her head with a wry smile, "According to you, you can't go out, and you can't make a sound!" ”

"Thank you, mother!" Xu Jiao kissed her mother on the face and jumped up happily, and then the mother and daughter hid behind the screen in the flower hall.

Shen Yue and Shen Da's master and servant followed the concierge of the Xu Mansion into the flower hall, Xu Yaozong sat on the main seat with a big sting, and he didn't mean to get up at all, and looked at Shen Yue who came in with a dark face.

In terms of status, he is an official, Shen Yue is a people, and when he sees a small people, the officials naturally have no reason to get up to greet them.

In terms of identity, he is an elder, Shen Yue is a junior, and the elders have no reason to welcome the juniors.

Shen Yue had just entered the room, and his eyes had not yet adapted to the dim light in the room, and naturally he had not seen clearly what the Lord of Qianhu looked like.

Shen Da behind him secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes, even if Shen Yue was reluctant, he had to kneel.

"The boy greets the Lord of the Thousand Households, and congratulates the Lord on his ascension." Shen Yue lowered his head, lifted the hem of his robe with a twisted face, put his knees on the bottom, stretched his hands forward, and prostrated to Xu Yaozong.

Shen Da behind him also saluted.

Xu Yaozong looked at Shen Yue, his face was gloomy, but he was stunned in his heart, this kid didn't have this attitude when he saw him before.

The thought of disliking Shen Yue has also faded a little, and it is only a trace.

"Get up, are you used to it here? Your family moved here yesterday, and you should have set up a banquet to wash the dust, but you are busy with business......" Xu Yaozong said with a straight face to Shen Yue in a businesslike tone.

Shen Yue heard Xu Yaozong let him get up, he almost got up with a flick, thinking about Shen Da's admonition, he got up slowly, lowered his head after standing still, scolded this damn feudal etiquette in his heart, but replied: "Thank you for your care, the house at home is usually cleaned by an old servant, and there will be no problem once the affairs are settled." ”

"The Shen and Xu families are world friends, and I am as close as brothers to your father, so it is natural to take care of them. What are your plans now? Is it to marry the little girl first, or ......" Xu Yaozong heard the life in Shen Yue's words, and the suppressed anger suddenly rose.

Lao Tzu just wants to see how tough you are.

"Mother, look at my father's ......" The mother and daughter behind the screen, where did they think that things would change like this?

Before he could talk a few words, Xu Yaozong asked Shen Yue if he was going to marry his third daughter or what, in normal times, naturally there was no problem, but now that the Shen family has fallen, the whole family has taken refuge in the Xu family!

The family has not settled down, and the future livelihood has not been settled, how to marry?

Shen Yue's face was not good-looking, he lowered his head and did not speak, while Shen Da next to him took a step forward, bowed and saluted, and then spoke calmly, "My lord, in this situation in my family, hundreds of people need to make a living. Now that the young master is married to the daughter of your mansion, he will insult the daughter of your mansion. ”

Shen Da's words made Xu Yaozong furious, and Pu Fan's big slap slammed on the Huanghuali Eight Immortals table next to him, and the teacups were shocked and jumped.

"And what are you here for? Is it no wonder that my Xu Mansion is not considerate? Xu Yaozong heard movement behind the screen and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"You don't have much hospitality, we didn't even have a cup of tea when we came!" Shen Yue despised it in his heart, and he didn't dare to say it.

Lord Xu was angry. Although our Shen family is in decline, it is not a family that does not understand etiquette. Thank you, Lord Xu, for helping to settle our family and the people who are not far away," Shen replied without humility......

The Shen family is in decline, and when they come here, they are not taking refuge in the Xu family, but the Shen family has a house and land here!

"My lord, the boy is here because I heard that the adult has been promoted, and I came here to congratulate you." Shen Yue was also a little dissatisfied with this cheap old man's pole.

If you want to repent of your marriage, you will regret it, and you have to beat around the bush.

He himself hopes to regret the marriage.

"Haha! You're here to congratulate you, what about the gift? "Xu Yaozong is dissatisfied with the attitude of the Shen family, the master and servant, your Shen family has been defeated, why are you tough?

If he hadn't come forward, the Shen family wouldn't have even been able to leave behind.

"My lord, the congratulatory gift is a bit special, I haven't brought it now, and I can't bring it......" Shen Yue said calmly, seeing Xu Yaozong's face change, Shen Yue still said unhurriedly, "Your Excellency has been promoted to a thousand households, and there will be more silver taels that need to be counted, and at the same time, the cost of soldiers in the Thousand Households is also greater, the military salaries of the nine sides of the imperial court have been in arrears for many years, the situation in the Northeast is erosive, and there are countless rebels in the country......"

Xu Yaozong was still angry at first, but when he heard what Shen Yue said, he calmed down.

From the deputy thousand households to the thousand households, the official is promoted to one level, but he needs more silver taels. Originally, the Thousand Households had been vacant, and the three Deputy Thousand Households, each raising 15 to 200 soldiers, also made him anxious, and the other two Thousand Households had already been transferred out of the Longshan Institute yesterday and went to Nanzhili to train troops.

If you become a thousand households, you must be responsible for the strength of the entire thousand households.

In the past, the food and salary of the guards could be deducted, but now the imperial court has no money, and the recruitment of new soldiers has to be apportioned, the bandits have to be apportioned, and the northeast has to be apportioned for the extermination of wild boar skins.

From the whole dragon mountain, you have to raise at least 500 soldiers, and it is not a small amount to spend money and food every year, and at the same time, you have to take care of your superiors, otherwise you will wear small shoes for yourself every once in a while, and it will not be easy to have a good time.
