Chapter 151: Viewing the house and meeting the little daughter
I also heard the old prefect Wang continue to persuade: "You can also be regarded as a local celebrity, with someone to protect you and an official to protect yourself." As long as you are cautious in your words and deeds, and abide by the law, what can Shi Shen do to you? The court officials are not something he can easily appoint and dismiss, at most, it has made your career difficult in the past few years, but you are less than twenty, and you can afford to wait. ”
Li Tuiguan said secretly, what Old Man Wang said is reasonable, he is really the older he gets, the less courageous he becomes, so he looks forward and backward when he puts on his shoes. But fortunately, Shi Dashen is not a person with a strong background like Chen Xundao.
If you can't afford to provoke him, you can always afford to hide, and it is impossible for Shi Dashen to go to the government office every day to stare at him. His official duties correspond to Chen Xundao, who is divided into the inspection department, and it is not easy for Shi Shen to interfere indiscriminately and cause trouble, thanks to the local government system designed by Emperor Taizu Gao.
said a thousand things and ten thousand, and said that the son always had to pass, thinking that Li You's mood was relaxed for the time being. In the past three months, from the warehouse case to the whole city, I have been really nervous, and it is rare that if it is a peaceful and harmonious world today, I am still entangled in something.
In the end, the prefect of Wang patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, the old man will definitely turn it around for you, this is the Suzhou Government Office, not the Branch of the Provincial Bureau." ”
To be honest, it is really rare to see the old man Wang who acts softly so hard and responsible, and Li Tuiguan is almost moved. Immediately, I suspiciously felt that something was abnormal, that is, a demon... I just don't know where the demon is.
Back in the public hall, Li You received a letter from home, which was written by Aunt Guan. The road is now that a large number of new silk is listed, it can't be covered, its own silk business is no longer profitable, and the clear soup and little water make a few taels of silver to barely maintain the family, and Pan Fujun has another plan.
In the future, the focus will be on Fucheng, Li You immediately replied, asking Aunt Guan to come to Fucheng to discuss together, and inspect the market by the way.
At this time, Ai Ai said, "Master, the little one has something, and I have something to ask for." ”
Li Youqi said: "What is so difficult that you can't talk anymore?" ”
It turned out that he was still the Hu Bantou who tried not to open his eyes and greatly offended Li You, although he was released by the Wang Governor's Mansion, but the team leader couldn't do it, and was directly sent to do miscellaneous labor.
He saw that now Li You had a big stick in his left hand and a silver treasury radish in his right hand, and he was above everyone in the government office, and his prestige even suppressed the Tongzhi of a higher grade and sentenced more than one, and the regret in his heart was needless to say, he was really blind at the beginning. Seeing that even Li You's long-term entourage was rising, and everyone greeted him everywhere he went, he suddenly felt that it was not bad for his daughter to be a concubine for Zhang San.
Why didn't you think about it at the beginning, what if you are a subordinate, the old saying of the prime minister's slave and the seven-rank official is not unreasonable, and he spent a lot of money in vain to avoid this marriage. Hu Qian's team had the idea of giving his daughter to Zhang San again, and found someone to talk to.
This surnamed Hu clearly wanted to seek reinstatement as the head of the team, Zhang San didn't dare to make decisions without permission, so he came to report to the master.
Li You scolded with a smile: "You are so beautiful, it's up to you to do this!" Also, the mansion you said earlier, the lord changed his mind, and now he wants to take a look, and it can be decided if it is really suitable. ”
Before he left, he saw Hong Xun sneaking in, stretched out a finger, and said to Li Tuiguan: "Yesterday's case, the sentence was changed from ten years to three years, this number." ”
Li You recalled that there seemed to be no public outrage in the case yesterday, but it was just an attempt by the robbers, and the sentence was changed to three years without affecting anything, and it didn't matter if he agreed. I was just about to speak, but suddenly I had some scruples, and now there is a three-grade political boss who is famous for his frugality... Alas, will you really be a clear as water, two sleeves, a breeze, and three innocent blue skies in the future? Li You thought helplessly.
Let's go and see the house first. The destination is not too far from the government office, Li Tuiguan did not sit in a sedan chair, and he was also interested in moving his legs and feet, so he changed into ordinary civilian clothes and walked along the street with Zhang San.
The owner of this mansion only left an old servant surnamed Cai to guard the door, and let Li You go in to take a closer look. But seeing the three-room three-entry pattern, the ground masonry is complete and seamed, the wood of the house is still eighty percent new, and the eaves painting building is quite exquisite. I also saw that the trees in the front yard were tall and beautiful, and the backyard was planted with pine and willow flowers and plants around the small pond, which was also a little elegant.
Li You felt satisfied in his heart, turned back to the gate, and was about to book the house. But a group of people, both men and women, surrounded a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady like stars holding the moon, and they stopped when they saw Li You.
A man in his thirties in the crowd said to Old Servant Cai, "Why are there still outsiders coming in?" ”
Old servant Cai replied: "This lord also wants to buy a house." ”
The man in his thirties spoke in a very loud tone, and reprimanded Old Servant Cai: "I remember telling you that before the seventh lady of my family makes up her mind, she must not make a price with others!" ”
The Lord humiliates the ministers! Zhang San stood up and asked, "What is your reasoning?" It's just a subordinate, not afraid of the wind flashing his tongue to bring trouble to the master's family! ”
The subordinates quarreled, Li You looked the little lady opposite up and down behind him, and was silent after evaluating it in his heart - her appearance was delicate but still a little childish, and her skin was as clear as jade, which showed that she was well-nourished. But nothing, there are more rich ladies in Suzhou Mansion these years, and he Li You has seen more beauties.
The gold hairpin and pearl on his head are nothing, they are nothing more than a pile of silver.
The style of the clothes is very simple, with a sleeveless pink jacket on the top and a floor-length skirt below, which is still nothing at first glance.
In the face of a big lady who doesn't seem to be anything in general, why is the dignified seven-grade pusher still silent?
Because the material of this little lady's clothes is very extraordinary, it is a rare fine silk on the market. That's the raw material for making the dragon robe of the Son of Heaven... In contrast, what silk satin silk yarn is weak.
If you want to say that Li You, who was born in Xu Gong, where did he get this eyesight to recognize? He had seen it on Zhao Daguanren, and when he heard Zhao Liangli boast and show off that this was the material for the dragon robe, he paid more attention to it. Later, I heard that my family's official edicts and official robes were all made of silk, but they were obviously not the most fine.
Facing the young lady of the noble family who can wear a silk dress as a casual dress when going out, what else can Li You do for a while except pretend to be silent?
This is not just a group of nouveau riche Xujiang County. Kejia Mansion is also the richest in the world, and there are many high-ranking officials and nobles in Suzhou, and there are many people in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, which are more difficult to provoke than outsiders like Shi Dashen.
He, Li You, is a magistrate, who seems to hold the authority of the criminal name, but in fact, he is aimed at the middle and lower class ordinary people. In other words, most of the people who come to the lawsuit are small people who have no power and no power, and at most they are rich and scholars who have money and no power.
This is also the reason why Li You dares to establish an image in the court, as the protagonist, his luck will not be so bad that dozens of boards will hit a Jinshi father or Shangshu's son or something like that. The really powerful ones don't need to solve the problem through lawsuits at all, so they are called the privileged class of feudal society.
Although Li You thought a lot, it was actually only a few moments. The little lady is not afraid of life, and she also judges the man opposite, after all, Li You's figure is good-looking, and it is recognized that the old and the young are all killed, and it must have the corresponding capital to be upside down everywhere in the city.
