Chapter 62: Gift-giving

"Ancestor, today someone paid a high price to buy Yangzhou Taishou! These are the news from the official office, and the background of the other party has also been checked, and the ancestors of the people who bought this official know! ”

Zhang Rang is old and doesn't need to serve Emperor Liu Hong of the Han Dynasty at all times, he was napping a little when a small yellow door hurriedly ran in, Zhang Rang, who was still a little angry, heard that he had a good income today, and he was in a good mood. One of these eunuchs was a product invented by the emperor to prevent fornication in the harem and not lack labor, which can be regarded as a kind of sorrow. And the other kind of people, in order to be able to enter the palace and become a master, ruthlessly castrate themselves to enter the palace to seek wealth! They are inhumane, which leads them to be very enthusiastic about gold and silver, almost to the point of a fanaticism. As soon as he heard that it was Taishou who was sold, it was yellow and clear gold, Zhang Rang's eyes were full of fanaticism.

"Zhou Yu? How is this kid? Although his father is Luoyang Ling, it is impossible to take out 120,000 taels of gold at once, right? Or is it a one-time payment? What did he do after he bought the official? Zhang Rang thought that although Zhou Xian had been an official in Luoyang for many years, he had never been corrupt and bent the law, otherwise it would not be really difficult to get it done! Although Zhou Yu has some cleverness, if he wants to accumulate so much money, he must have foreign wealth.

"Ancestor, Zhou Yu sold his family's ancestral house in Luoyang, and all the belongings in the family were sold, and now he is living in Biyuexuan Restaurant with a few families, looking at the situation and preparing to go to office." Xiao Huangmen told Zhang Rang the news of the inquiry.

"Oh? sold the ancestral house - haha, what a loser, when Zhou Xian returns to Beijing, he will have to die of anger! Although this kid is very famous now, he is somewhat lacking in doing things! A good prince reads, and Sima at the city gate doesn't do it, so he has to touch the tiger whisker of the butcher, and now he has become a white body! Even if you are the best talent in the world, so what? Don't come here to buy an official here! Young people just don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick! "Zhang Rang listened to Zhou Yu's approach and completely treated him as a second ancestor, and a young man with no brains and high spirits couldn't achieve anything big.

There was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the door, and a small yellow door knelt in front of Zhang Rang, kowtowed three times before he spoke: "Old Ancestor, there is a person named Zhou Yu outside who came to visit you, and he was carrying four big boxes. I don't know if the ancestors saw it or not? ”

Since Zhang Rang was a celebrity in front of Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, Liu Hong rewarded a mansion outside the palace for Zhang Rang to use and facilitate him to help him collect money, which is not a secret.

"As soon as I said this kid, this kid is here! It's really a dog, and it comes when it smells! Take him to the side hall first, and we'll be there later! "Generally, officials do not refuse to give gifts, they have an unspoken rule, they are absolutely very careful when they are unidentified and unsafe or hostile forces receive gifts, and they are careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years, even if they are like a high-ranking Zhang Rang, they have to turn Zhou Yu's intention in the stomach three times. Although Zhou Yu is not a hostile force, he has had few contacts over the years, and although Luoyang Ling is alone, he still despises them from the bottom of his heart as eunuchs who flatter the Son of Heaven. Zhou Yu dared to make the Yuan family disgraced by himself, and dared to bared his teeth at the general He Jin, presumably he was not a good stubble!

About half an hour later, Zhang Rang walked into the side hall to see Zhou Yu.

"Yo-Lord Zhou, I'm really sorry, our family has been delayed in some matters at Your Majesty's place, and you have been waiting for a long time! Someone, I've blinded your dog's eyes, has there been a pant for so long a day, and I don't know if Lord Zhou has tea? Zhang Rang, who was dressed in official clothes, walked in and saw Zhou Yu sitting on a stool waiting alone, and he couldn't see any expression on Zhou Yu's face, so he pretended to teach his subordinates.

"Ancestor, it's a small negligence! Let the children serve tea right away, and today's deacon will go down and deal with him! The little yellow door behind him hurriedly knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.

Such a clumsy performance is a joke in Zhou Yu's eyes, since Zhang Rangdu made a gesture, he quickly stood up and bowed to Zhang Rang: "Boy Zhou Yu Zhou Gongjin See Lord Zhang, you are tormenting the boy, why is Lord Zhou not laughing at the boy?" And your father-in-law has already served tea to the kid just now, or is your tea here delicious! The fragrance is refreshing, and the tea is a little cold, and the father-in-law changed the boy to new tea. In the final analysis, Master Zhang will train his subordinates, and the kid admires and admires! ”

"Hmph - this stinky boy hides needles in his cotton, this is scolding our family for not having a tutor! Sure enough, it's not the one who suffers-" Zhang Rang sneered in his heart, but he still admired this kid's courage a little, and he was not arrogant or humble in his own territory.

"Since Lord Zhou interceded for you, our family will let you rabbit cubs go, and next time you will be so unreasonable and careful about your dog's life!" Zhang Rang scolded Xiao Huangmen with a calm face, and then said to Zhou Yu with a flowering face: "Lord Zhou, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and you still bring so many things here to our house, I don't know what is the matter?" Oh-look at my brain, stunned by those bunnies, please sit down-"

"Old thing, play this hand for the master! Hmph - today's master put up with you for the time being! Anyway, according to the development of history, you won't live long! Thinking so in his heart, Zhou Yu still sat down with a smile on his face and said to Zhang Rang: "Master Zhang, you are an official in the same dynasty as your father, and the boy should have visited you as a junior, but you also know your father's temper, and now I dare to come because my father is not there!" Presumably you also know that my temperament is not very good, and I have offended the Yuan family and the general, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now ignoring me, and the only thing I can rely on in Luoyang is you, there are 40,000 taels of gold in this box, which is my filial piety to you! Although I am not very successful, I still have a little bit of a knack for making money. This time I came to let Mr. Zhang bring more juniors in the future, and from now on, the boy will definitely honor you during the New Year's holidays! ”

"Sure enough, it's a big deal - this kid is here to use our family as a shield, and after making trouble for a long time, he's here to find a backer! But even if this kid has eyes-" At this moment, Zhang Rang's heart is already happy, and so much gold is all his own. Figuring out Zhou Yu's intentions, Zhang Rang's face looked much better: "Come on, serve good tea to Lord Zhou!" Take out the treasures given to our family by His Majesty, and tell the kitchen to sit on a table of good dishes, and our family should have a good chat with Lord Zhou! ”

Sure enough, money can make ghosts grind, Zhang Rang and Zhou Yu finally talked about the joy of the guests and hosts, as long as Zhang asked them not to blow the wind in front of Liu Hong, the general He Jin would not pull his dog legs! Then the official seal of Yangzhou is stable!

It's just that Zhou Yu's face suddenly turned bitter as soon as he came out of Zhang Rang's mansion, because he found that he had no money again, and this money came and went quickly! Alas, let's find a way to make money -

"What? The jade girl entered the mansion of Lang Wang Yun in the matter? Early the next morning, Zhou An told Zhou Yu the news, and Zhou Yu jumped out of bed all of a sudden.

Bah, this old thing is really rich! Since Zhou Yu agreed to Yu Ruyi, he sent someone to secretly keep an eye on Yu Ruyi's movements, who knew that the mysterious buyer turned out to be Wang Yun, this old boy was a master of intrigue and trickery in history, but he jumped out of the city and died in a fit of self-use.

"That's it—in the matter, Prince Lang Wangyun—I hope you won't do anything wrong, otherwise I, Zhou Yu, will definitely destroy you! Zhou An, you go and call Shi A for me, I have something to arrange for him to do! Zhou Yu couldn't save Yu Ruyi from Wang Yun's hands in this situation now, so he could only sigh helplessly - he only hoped that Yu Ruyi could protect himself......
