Chapter 261: It turned out to be the future uncle of the country
Lu Xuan's words were already a little unkind, not to mention the people at the time, even Wu Jie outside the house was taken aback.
Lu Xuan is now also the deputy of the Ministry of Industry's camp and the official position of the eighth grade. This position is nothing at all in Yanjing City, which is covered with Jinghua, and if you throw a stone, you can hit seventeen or eighteen, but there is enough oil and water.
The Ministry of Industry is in charge of all national projects in the capital, and if it is placed in the future, it is equivalent to the deputy director of the Yanjing Municipal Land Bureau. Every year, there are not a hundred hundred, but hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. If he wants, grab a little casually, it will be enough for ordinary people to eat for several generations.
And this kind of practical yamen, since everyone sits together and works together day and night, and it involves a lot of silver, they must live in harmony with each other, so that they can make a fortune together. Otherwise, you will top me, I will top you, you will stare at me, I will stare at you, how can you make money.
Besides, in this kind of yamen, who is short of money, isn't it just a birthday banquet, and people invite you to give you face, even if you seal him for dozens of taels of silver, it's not a big deal.
But this Lu Xuan doesn't understand the world at all, and his Lu family is not short of money, so he directly refused, purely because he didn't want to live in harmony with this Lord Li!
No one can bear this breath.
Moreover, this Lord Li does not seem to be of high quality and low grade, and it is estimated that he is not an official from the right path. It is very likely that Enyin is a scholar, and looking at his family background, he is not weaker than Lu Xuan.
This kind of person from a prestigious family, the surname is the most extreme, and he belongs to a person who doesn't rub sand in his eyes, Lu Xuan provokes him, and it is estimated that there will be trouble.
Although Wu Jie didn't have any good feelings for this guy, he couldn't help but shake his head. Lu Xuan's IQ is good, but this EQ is really enough!
No, there doesn't seem to be a wealthy family surnamed Li in this court!
If you talk about the wealthy mansions in the capital, you can count it with one hand. It is nothing more than Yan Song's Mansion, Lu Bing's Mansion, and several princes' palaces.
Sure enough, as soon as Master Li heard this, his face immediately changed: "Brother Xuan, you don't like our Li family anymore?" ”
This sentence seemed to come out of between his teeth, and his tone was cold.
One of his faces was also hideous and distorted, and he looked very scary.
Lu Xuan obviously didn't understand the meaning of this Lord Li's words, and his face was confused: "What's the point of listening to music and eating wine, a large group of people sit together for a few hours, and they are not familiar with each other, and they have no taste when they sit dry." In fact, Master Li doesn't need to be so complicated, why don't you make an appointment with a few literati and scholars, everyone will sing poetry, wine, sing harmony, write poems, and compose essays. ”
Master Li was even more angry, and finally broke out, slapping the table: "What are you talking about, my father has a few sixtieth birthdays." He likes to be lively and crowded, what's wrong. You kid just let us change the banquet into a literary meeting, according to your meaning, I don't eat the wine, and I don't listen to the song, just a few of you sour Dingzi said Shiyun, shook your head, and made a wedding banquet into a mourning hall This is happy, Lu Xuan, what are your intentions? ”
This slap slapped on the public case, which made Lu Xuan's body tremble, his neck shrank, and he said, "I'm ...... I think that's a good idea...... Why is Master Li angry? ”
"You think it's good, you think it's good!" Master Li sneered: "Is it my father's life or your father's life, do you want to talk nonsense?" ”
Wu Jie looked funny outside, this Lu Dagongzi is really an idiot. Mr. Li held a birthday banquet for his father, and it was clear that he wanted to receive gifts, so you can follow your own rules, how can you suggest how to make this banquet.
This Lu Xuan, it didn't seem to be so stupid before, how did he become like this?
Lu Xuan: "Since Master Li wants to be lively, it's better to be lively, Lu Xuan lost his words just now." ”
Seeing that he was soft and his eyes were dull, Lord Li's heart moved, and he suddenly thought: This Lu Xuan is a nerd, since he entered the Ministry of Industry as an official, he doesn't understand anything, and he knows that staying in the house and reading books all day long makes him stupid.
But that's okay, this project is so oily, and this guy doesn't care about anything, just as our father and son should get rich.
For the sake of this little idiot who is still sensible, he doesn't talk nonsense.
No matter how much he said, he didn't understand. Forget it, forget it, just tell him about it.
Master Li coughed and said in a low voice: "Brother Xuan, my surname is in a hurry, don't take it to heart, this time there is really no way to make it an elegant meeting for your literati." ”
"It's a pity." Lu Xuan couldn't help but shake his head: "Otherwise, with my Lu Xuan's talent, there is really a competition, and I will be the first." He had some regrets.
Master Li glanced at him, and continued to say kindly: "Brother Xuan, you are also from a famous family, and you are also bold. My father finally made a birthday party, and it's a pity that you don't go. However, since everyone is a colleague, you have to support my father and son on the scene. ”
Lu Xuan didn't understand what he was talking about, so he only nodded subconsciously.
Master Li: "This time we invited a lot of guests, according to the rules, we have to follow the elements, don't you mean a little bit, why does this have to match the identity of your Lu family." ”
Lu Xuan still looked confused: "Do you want to give money, how much?" ”
Master Li didn't expect Lu Qian to be so direct, his old face was slightly red, and he nodded: "It doesn't take too much, just a few hundred taels." ”
Lu Xuan: "Okay, I have money, I have a lot of money." "I kept pulling things out of my pocket.
I didn't expect him to be so able to hold it in his sleeve, and after a while, he took out an ingot of broken silver, a handkerchief, a chess piece, a leftover snack, and a pure white fungus digger.
They all gathered together and pulled to Lord Li's side: "My lord, is it enough, that's all." ”
"It's ...... Don't you have a month, you are also the son of the Lu family! Master Li was dumbfounded.
Lu Xuan: "Yes, there are hundreds of taels a month, but my mother said that I have been a little stupid recently, and it is useless to take money, there is food and drink in the house, and there is no need to use money." ”
"Get out, get out, you're a fool!" Master Li suddenly changed color, and Huo stood up.
Wu Jie also sighed in his heart: This Lu Xuan can't be really stupid, right? It is estimated that the township trial list was stimulated on the day and became like this. Hey, I think that at the beginning, Lu Xuan was also a turbid son, and his future was limitless, but because of his obsession, he suffered setbacks and collapsed.
As soon as Master Li stood up, he saw Wu Jie standing outside the house, and shouted: "Who, what are you doing standing outside, let the official come in."
When others saw his ugly appearance when he asked for a bribe just now, Lord Li's face was difficult to look at.
Wu Jie smiled, walked in, and arched his hand: "In the Yuan Pavilion below, Wu Jie, I just got the order of the eunuch Huang Jin, who is the master of ceremonies, and came to check the income and expenditure accounts of Yuxi Palace. ”
"Oh, it turned out that Lao Huang sent it over." Hearing that it was Huang Jin's person, Master Li's face looked better, but he shouted impatiently: "Check it, check it, what kind of work, I really think my father and son are thieves." Lao Tzu is also a relative of the emperor, and he helps the long-lived lord to work, and there is no merit and hard work. My name is Li Li, come in, you have to look at the accounts, on the bookshelf, find it yourself. ”
Hearing that Lord Li called himself Li Li, Wu Jie suddenly realized and secretly screamed: No wonder this person is so domineering and rude, it turns out to be the elder brother of Concubine Li of Yuwangfu.
Concubine Li was very famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and after Jiajing's death, her husband Yuwang succeeded to the throne and was known as Emperor Longqing. It's a pity that Emperor Longqing was a short-lived ghost, and he died after only five years of taking over the throne, leaving only the Wanli Emperor who was already old.
The lord and young minister were suspicious, and in desperation, Concubine Li had to contact Zhang Juzheng and Feng Bao, the chief eunuch of the celebrant and eunuch, to listen to the government. It wasn't until his son grew up that he was still in power with Emperor Wanli.
During the period of controlling the national government, Concubine Li reused Zhang Juzheng and vigorously implemented financial reforms. Zhang Juzheng's whip method and examination method were popularized and implemented during her administration. It is also because of this groundbreaking reform that the Ming Dynasty reversed in one fell swoop, and the embarrassment of the empty treasury since Jiajing continued the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty for nearly 60 years.
It can be said that this Concubine Li is the most outstanding female politician in Chinese history after Wu Zetian, and her evaluation in history is also extremely high.
It's a pity that her father and brother were greedy and arrogant, which gave her a lot of points.
Today, Concubine Li's father Li Wei and brother Li Li have contracted the expansion project of Yuxi Palace and stay on this construction site all day long.
In the past few days, Li Wei was busy preparing for the birthday banquet at home, but he did not come.
Wu Jie nodded, walked into the room, and glanced at Lu Xuan again.
To tell the truth, seeing Lu Xuan here, Wu Jie was still a little embarrassed in his heart, forced a laugh, and arched his hand towards him: "Brother Xuan, some of the words are gone, have you always been good?" ”
"You know?" Li Li was a little surprised.
Wu nodded his head: "Back to Lord Li's words, Wu Jie has read a book in the Lu family before, and has received the favor of the Lu family. ”
For this, Wu Jie has never been ignorant.
Lu Xuan stared at Wu Jie blankly for a long time, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be Wu Jie Wu Shizhen, by the way, you have a literati collection recently, if you have, call me." ”
Wu Jie shook his head: "But no." ”
Lu Xuan suddenly screamed in annoyance: "But it's suffocating me, except for coming here on an errand, my father and mother don't allow me to go out." ”
"It's stupid." Wu Jie felt a little sad in his heart, and was about to comfort him a few words.
Li Li next to him: "Wu Jie, if you want to read the account, hurry up, what are you doing talking so much nonsense with a fool?" ”
"Okay, that's it."
Wu Jie cleaned up his mood, took out the account book from the bookshelf, looked at it for a long time, and finally checked the numbers. Seeing that half an hour had passed, Lu Xuan was stupid like that, and he and Li Li were not speculative, so they were about to say goodbye and leave.
Li Li stopped Wu Jie: "Wu Jie, how do you write?" ”
Wu Jie was stunned: "It's okay." ”
Li Li: "Okay, good, good handwriting, just do one thing for the official." ”
"You say."
Li Li: "My father's 60th birthday, I need to write a post to invite someone to be a guest, and there are still a lot of things I haven't done, you can write it." By the way, write your name on it as well, and take the post back. ”
