Section 21: The hard work of changing tables
Yuan Jia carefully held a small teapot into the public room, Chang'an autumn was cold, copied a morning of household books, already had a sore back, not his own body is not good, but the household department of the case is really life-threatening, sitting cross-legged on the wooden floor, rickety busy, the damage to the body is really too great, as long as I see those old masters walking with the prawns, they are full of worries about their future, there is no doubt that as long as they do this for 20 years, the end will not be much better than the old master.
took a sip of hot tea, the whole body was comfortable, the only bad thing was that the tea was a little lighter, but that's it, it's better than nothing. Out of the academy, there is no supply of tea, he remembers that the tea in the academy only needs three pennies to buy a big bag, enough to drink for a month, yesterday there was no tea at home, sent the ingots to the West Market to buy, as a result, the ingots ran all over the West Market, only to buy back a small bag for her husband, Yuan Jia took a sip, and immediately sprayed out, this is not tea, this is the leaves.
Tea is cheap in the academy, out of the academy, the value immediately increased a hundred times, I thought that the whole family had ten yuan of tea money enough to drink for a month, who knows, just buy such a little leaves with soil, for this reason, Yuan Bao felt guilty, ready to be his own hairpin to buy tea for her husband, but was scolded by Yuan Jia.
When he came out of the academy, he only had a futon, a few boxes of books, and the ingots didn't even have a change of clothes, not to mention my aunt, the three poor ghosts began to live, which was naturally very difficult, but fortunately, the court took into account these circumstances and gave them half a year's worth of money in advance, so that they could barely make up a family.
My Lady was wearing a plain green dress, with a cloth on her head, and her obese body had become much thinner, but the pair of papaya-like tits had not become smaller. For this reason, my fair lady has been dreaming of returning to beauty for a long time.
There are only three of them living in the courtyard of the two entrances, and the lively lady does not dare to go to the street, so she can only lie in the crack of the door and look out at the excitement. She can talk to Yuan Bao at the dinner table.
When he went out today, Yuan Bao quietly filled his schoolbag with a small bag of tea, a small oil paper bag, it seemed that it was only enough to drink for three or five days, but Yuan Jia didn't care, he never refused what Yuan Bao gave, knowing that in the past two days, Yuan Bao used a basket to carry the dim sum made by my fair lady to sell in Chongning Fang, maybe he made a little money.
The bristles hurried in from outside, and he was actually sweating on his head in the cold and foggy days. The green robe was tightly stretched on his body, and the whole person was like a silkworm, and when he saw that there was tea on the table of Yuan Jia's case, he picked it up and drained it in one gulp, until he couldn't control a drop of water.
"Bristles, you fucking know that what I hate most is the bastard who slips the tea root, but you want to go against me, don't you?" Yuan Jia couldn't remember how many hundred times he had protested, although it didn't help. But resist not to protest in themselves, not to listen to in the bristles. People have to defend their rights, don't they?
"Where is all that nonsense, drink your little tea as soon as possible, so that you can quit the problem of drinking tea, so as not to see Yuanbao selling pastries in a basket in Chongning Fang, which is sad to see."
"Brother, that seems to be my wife. What are you sad about? Yuan Jia asked vigilantly looking at the bristles.
"Damn, the wife of the top ten in this imperial examination carries a basket and sells dim sum all day long, do you want a little official reputation and decency? You refused to send you silver, and secretly gave it to my aunt, and you forced me to send it back. We are brothers, not those profiteers with bad intentions, just pay me back when you have money, why do you have to torture everyone around you? ā
"Your silver is yours, I already owe you a lot of ruthlessness, at that time it was in the academy, we were not considered a social person in the mouth of Mr., so it doesn't matter what some silver money has, now it's different, I'm an independent person, how much ability to eat as much as I want, Yuanbao is my wife, it's natural to follow me to endure hardships, my aunt has nowhere to go, so I don't have a choice."
By the way, you should tell me that it is embarrassing for Yuan Bao to carry a basket and sell dim sum? ā
The bristles were choked by Yuan Jia's words and almost fell on his head, and shook his hand irritably and said: "Don't fight with you, there is always a smell of old coffins in your words, let you calculate the things have been calculated, hurry up and give it to me, wait to use it, next time I won't let my maid buy your pastries, my fair lady produced it, it always seems to be stained with a smell of sucks, I didn't eat a bite." ā
"Fuck off, you are a rich man, you should buy more, today I told my aunt to do more, you should mobilize the whole family to eat together to be considered friends.
This is what I didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night, and the final result is that the imperial court has more to gain than it loses, and if it wants to plug these reasonable and legal tax avoidance loopholes, it can only be done by formulating new regulations as soon as possible, and the proportion of commercial taxes is not appropriate, all kinds of goods should be treated differently, the tax rate on grain needs to be low, and the tax rate on luxury goods needs to be doubled hundreds or thousands of times, in addition, the tax rate on salt and iron in our dynasty is amazingly high, so that people in many places cannot afford to eat salt, and these must be included in the scope of our discussion tomorrow. ā
The bristles wrote down Yuan Jia's words, put Yuan Jia's calculations into his arms, and was just about to go out when he heard Yuan Jia say again: "When you buy Yuan Bao's pastries, don't pick the unpalatable ones, just do what you want, so as not to confuse my aunt, thinking that the most unpalatable ones are the best-sellers." In the future, my family is going to open a pastry shop, do you know that this is causing me to go bankrupt? ā
The bristles shook his sleeves fiercely, raised his head and cursed, expressed the anger in his heart, and hurriedly killed the Ministry of Rites, Wang Xuance, a bastard, actually strongly agreed with the construction of the Daomen, so stupid that he couldn't be more stupid, he looked like a monkey and dared to point to Lao Tzu's nose and say that I was a human head pig brain?
"Look, this is the result calculated by Yuan Jiayuan's great talent, Daomen will make a fortune because of this move, and will forever escape the big killer of the imperial court, and wander outside the Tang Dynasty legal system, Wang Xuance, your ancestor is a Taoist? So sparing no effort to speak for the miscellaneous hair? ā
"Think about it, don't say it, my ancestors really had someone who went into the mountains to become a Taoist priest, but does this have anything to do with my opinion? Who told you, the guy with the head of the pig brain, that agreeing to the Taoist priest's construction is to make their little tricks succeed? ā
Pig bristles sat on the chair opposite Wang Xuance and was about to reprimand, but found that the chair under the butt sat very comfortably, and couldn't help asking: "How did you persuade those old antiques to agree to put the tables and chairs in the public room of the Ministry of Rites?" I've been sitting on the floor all these days, and my stomach is coming out of my throat. ā
Wang Xuance said proudly: "Look at it, we all came out of the academy, sitting on the floor with cold buttocks, uncomfortable spine, and bloodshot eyes, we all know that it is a bad thing, and you all choose to shut up, so you deserve to suffer." ā
"Fuck off, the rules of the Ministry of Etiquette are the strictest, can you change the rules lightly? I also gave the hall official a yƬ, the dog who was scolded by others was bloody, saying that young people should suffer more, what officialdom is the most important thing, suffer more now, and benefit immensely in the future, I listen to these so much that my ears are calloused, I just don't want to become a prawn in the future, where is the truth easy to tell, tell me, how did you do it, I will see if it is possible to implement it in the Criminal Department. ā
Wang Xuance picked up a white silk scarf, wiped his hands, and said with a bitter face: "It's really fucking not easy, for this purpose, Lao Tzu came early every day to wipe the case table for all the officials, make tea, and greet every colleague at the door of the public office every day to greet them, to be honest, I have never been so filial to my father."
The old gentlemen's hands trembled when they ate, and it was very difficult to clamp a dish, and the same was true for the old gentlemen, so I bribed the people in the canteen to eat green beans for the old gentlemen every day, and the shrimp soaked in the water fried with green beans was a famous dish of our academy, braised pork stewed with green beans, I was worried that the gentlemen would not be able to eat soybeans, so they were deliberately replaced with soft green beans, so that every time I ate, I watched the old gentlemen trembling and picking up the green beans that fell on the ground with their hands, and my heart was desolate. In order to achieve my goal, I have to grieve the gentlemen first, and I can rest a little more at each meal. ā
"You are not desolate, you are lacking in morality, knowing that their hands are shaking, and letting them eat green beans with chopsticks, I can think of what a miserable picture it is."
"Nonsense, green peas and shrimp are of great benefit to the body of the elderly, and the green bean braised pork is soft and mellow, melts in the mouth, and is the most suitable for the toothless elderly, the old man has praised me no less than three times, saying that the tail of the food has not changed, but the food has gone up more than one grade, that is, it is a little troublesome to pick up green beans, and ask me if there is a way?"
"That's how you got the old gentlemen to agree to the use of tables and chairs?"
"How can it be so easy, in order to develop the old gentleman into the habit of referring to my opinions in such a trivial matter, I provided the old gentleman with a silver spoon and a silver fork, so that the old gentleman will not let a kind junior like me suffer, and compensated me with fifty taels of silver, of course, there is no need to sue the old man for the matter of mixing tin in the silver spoon and silver fork."
"Shameless, you actually embezzled public funds, don't say you know me in the future."
"Will the people who come out of the academy have no interest to embezzle public funds? Besides, the old cousin rewarded me because of my sincere respect, and not because of a few silver spoons and silver forks, and I didn't say that they were all made of silver, and the spoons and forks were not tinned and not hard enough, do you think the old cousin didn't know? The fifty taels of silver are actually a kind of temptation for me, to see if I will be tempted, what kind of person is your brother and I, how could I fall for his scheme, the fifty taels of silver I found the craftsman of the Yun family in a blink of an eye, and replaced the windows on the high part of the public house with glass.
