Daming Guozhang, Jiading Bo Zhou Kui was in a good mood in the morning, carrying a bird cage in his yard, humming and humming, but he saw the family trotting in. Zhou Kui, who was ruined and had a good interest, looked angry and was about to have a seizure, only to hear the family Ding say in a little panic: "Master, master, here, here!" ”

Seeing that the family was flustered and couldn't speak the words, Zhou Kui, who was already a little angry, was even more angry.

"It's getting more and more unreasonable, I can't even understand a sentence, shouldn't the rules in this house be established?"

When the family heard Zhou Kui say that he wanted to make rules, he knelt on the ground in fright, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged for mercy.

"The lord spares his life, the lord spares his life, the house is outside, here ......"

After a long time, Zhou Kui finally figured out who was coming, wasn't it the eunuch in the palace, why was he panicking?

Zhou Kui kicked the family with disdain, and said nonchalantly: "Hurry up, I'll spare you this time, and then I will go out of the house next time." Look at it, look at this virtue of being scared, isn't it the eunuch in the palace? Don't look at whose house this is, when this is the Marquis of Wuqing's house? Go, go and bring the eunuch in. ”

Zhou Kui babbled about his pride and asked the family to invite the eunuchs in the palace. As if he had been pardoned, he retreated backwards, and trotted to the door again. After a short time, the eunuch was led into the garden.

The eunuch saluted respectfully after seeing Zhou Kui, and then talked about the purpose of coming.

"Long live the lord let the slave pass a message to you, saying that it is for you to play an exemplary role and take the lead in ......"

This is only half of what he said, Zhou Kui only felt that he was fooling, he was really afraid of something, is it so easy to set an example, is this head so easy to be?

“…… Take the lead in donating 100,000 taels of silver first, and the Lord will not treat your old ...... badly."

The eunuch's words in the second half of the sentence made Zhou Kui even more angry, although he was arrogant in front of his own family, but after all, he was the backbone of the villain's ambition, and in the face of the slave of the Son of Heaven, he couldn't be angry anyway.

"Oops! Oops! ”

Zhou Kui suddenly touched his forehead and shouted loudly, with a crumbling posture, the eunuch was quick and quick, and hurriedly stepped forward to support the father-in-law.

"Father-in-law, father-in-law, what's wrong with you?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, the old man's headache has recurred, I can't see the wind, I have to go back to the room quickly......"

"The slave will help you go back, and the grandfather will hold on to it."

"I haven't asked the noble surname of the public yet."

Even if he had a headache, Zhou Kui didn't forget to ask the eunuch's name and surname.

"The slave's name is Xu Gao, and it is a blessing for a slave to be able to serve the father-in-law, but don't say anything high, noble, it's really a slave."

Zhou Kui pretended to nod and said: "Well, good slave, really good slave, old man, old man, old man, ......" When the sentence came to his mouth, he didn't say anything, held his forehead, and groaned loudly.

Xu Gaoyan didn't know what Jiading Bo Zhoukui was thinking, but he didn't break it, and helped him into the house, and a family member took it over, and he didn't stay longer, so he left.

After Xu Gao left, Zhou Kui, who was still having a headache just now, suddenly jumped up from the bed and scolded: "Damn, if you want the money, you have to go to Lao Tzu's head, don't you see if Lao Tzu's money is so easy to ask?" Come on, come on, prepare the sedan chair, the master wants to enter the palace! ”

Zhou Kui's sedan chair had just been carried out of the door, but it suddenly stopped, and Zhou Kui in the sedan chair noticed something was wrong, so he reprimanded: "What's wrong?" Why don't you go? ”

But I heard the sedan chair man tremble and said: "Old, master, yes, someone stopped the sedan chair!" ”

"Whoever eats the bear's heart and leopard gall dares to stop the old man's sedan chair. Hurry up and open it, drive it away, and enter the palace quickly, you will be good-looking if you delay the big event! ”

Zhou Kui explained a couple at the behest of words, but still didn't see any movement outside, and rushed out of the sedan chair in a fit of rage, just wanted to scold but laughed again.

"This, isn't this Xu Gong? Why are you still delayed on the road, no, aren't you back to the palace? ”

The person who stopped the sedan chair was the eunuch Xu Gao, Xu Gao did not smile at the flesh, and saluted to Jiading Bo Zhou Kui respectfully.

"The slave is waiting here for the father-in-law to get better from his headache, just to discuss the matter of the loan!"

Zhou Kui listened to Xu Gao's reluctance, only to know that he had met a difficult character, and he wanted to pretend to be sick again, but he couldn't pull his face on the street, so he had to bite the bullet and say: "Donate, donate, how much does the old man want the old man to donate?" ”

"Not much, long live the lord said, 100,000 taels, as long as Jiading Berken takes the lead, he will definitely not treat you badly in the future!"

"Well said, well said!"

Zhou Kui wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while laughing. The psychological side is secretly scolding, what will not be treated badly in the future, empty mouth and white teeth are like taking away the old man's 100,000 taels of silver? What a reputation for being mean and ruthless!

But a mouth has changed its attitude.

"100,000 taels, it's too much, old man, old man really can't take that much!"

Xu Gao still had that respectful attitude, and he was also quite embarrassed: "Oh, the slave is also here by order, without the will of the Long Live Lord, the slave can't be the master." It's better to do this, you always go and beg for the long live lord in person, and the slave has an explanation! ”

Zhou Kui secretly scolded this Xu Gao for being cunning, and asked him to meet the mean and unkind emperor, wouldn't he step into the fire pit with one foot? He would never go, but he still had to deal with Xu Gaoxu.

"Well said, well said. The old man will go to the palace, this will go to the palace, or will Xu Gong go with the old man? ”

Xu Gao hurriedly said: "The slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare, the national master pleases first!" ”

Zhou Kui triumphantly returned to the sedan chair, shouted for the sedan chair man at the top of his voice, and several sedan chair drivers lifted the sedan chair up with force on their shoulders, and trembled towards the Forbidden City.

Xu Gao looked at the sedan chair that was gradually walking away, and spat fiercely on the ground, and only held back a sentence for a long time.

"Something!" Then he also led people to the Forbidden City.

Jiading Bo Zhou Kui did go to the Forbidden City, but instead of seeing Zhu Youzhen, the son of heaven, he went straight to the harem to find his daughter Queen Zhou.

"Daughter, daughter, you can save Daddy!"

Zhou Kui just saw Queen Zhou, and when he could gain a firm foothold, he cried and howled, which made Queen Zhou's shocked face pale. After asking for a long time, I realized that I had come here for donations. Empress Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter, will it be a loan soon?" The emperor has a difficulty, and you as a courtier should also share the burden, not to mention that the emperor is the husband of his daughter, and the father should not be stingy with money......"

Zhou Kui listened to Empress Zhou's tone with a lot of bias towards the emperor, and fell to his knees with a puff, and began to cry again.

"Daughter, this year I have invested a lot of money in the merchants outside the customs, because of the current war, I haven't come back with a tael of silver, and our family is almost unable to open the pot now, the emperor asked my father to donate 100,000 taels, isn't this my father's life? Now don't say it's 100,000 taels, even 10,000 taels can't be taken out! Daughter, you have to save your father, if you can't speak, your father can only imitate the Marquis of Wu Qing......"

Queen Zhou hurriedly helped her father up, and wiped her tears, "Father, why are you doing this?" Zhou Kui's pretentiousness really worked, and Queen Zhou also cried for a while, and sighed faintly.

"Long live Lord has difficulties after all, we should set an example as the imperial prince......" Zhou Kui listened to his daughter's words, and just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Queen Zhou. Father, you will set this example for the emperor, as for the silver, it will be from the daughter, so it can be regarded as a ......"

Queen Zhou suddenly choked up and couldn't say a word anymore. But when Zhou Kui heard his daughter say this, his face suddenly burst into laughter.

"Daughter, daughter, are you serious? How much can you give for your father, how much silver? ”

Zhou Kui repeatedly asked Queen Zhou how much silver she could give him out, Queen Zhou choked for a while, and then said in a low voice: "My daughter's body is also limited, so she can only give five thousand taels of silver for her father!" ”

"It's only 5,000 taels ......"

Hearing that it was only five thousand taels of silver, Zhou Kui could not hide his disappointment, but he was also happy to take the silver for nothing.

"Okay, five thousand taels is five thousand taels!"

"Plus the daughter's five thousand taels of silver, the father will give another five thousand taels, make up the amount of ten thousand, and the daughter will ask the emperor for a favor, and this matter will be considered complete, I don't know if the father is satisfied?"

How could Zhou Kui not be satisfied, compared to the previous number of 100,000 taels, now as long as he gives 5,000 taels, he is even happier than letting him pick up 5,000 taels of silver, thank you to Queen Zhou, and repeatedly tell not to forget to go to the emperor to intercede, and then he shook his head and left.

As soon as Jiading Bo Zhou Kui left, a figure appeared behind the curtain, and Queen Zhou quickly knelt down, crying and complaining.

"Daddy's appearance, concubine, concubine plead to the emperor for him!"

This person is Zhu Youzhen, the son of the Great Tomorrow, although his face is gloomy and terrifying, but he speaks with a bit of tenderness.

"Get up, it's not your sin. I have long expected Jiadingbo's attitude, and it is a last resort for you to act in a play, I have wronged you, queen! ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen say this, Queen Zhou couldn't cry even more.

Zhu Youzhen has long understood that Zhou Kui will not hand over a penny of silver lightly, when Wu Qinghou committed suicide before, the mastermind behind inciting the troubles of relatives outside Beijing was this person, but who let this old guy be the queen's biological father, his own Taishan father-in-law, since he couldn't deal with him, he had to knock on the side.

Early the next morning, Zhu Youzhen called a grand court meeting, and even the nobles and relatives were also summoned, and once again issued an edict, urging the officials and nobles to borrow generously. At the same time, he was also full of joy waiting for Jiading Bo Zhou Kui to set this example.

Sure enough, Zhou Kui came out of the queue three times and bowed nine times, and the mountain shouted long live. The ministers were all shocked, but they didn't expect that the first one to stand up was the famous miser miser in the Jingshi.

"Chen Jiading Bo Zhou Kui is willing to take the lead in donating three thousand taels of silver!"
