Chapter 39: Poor Friends

Zhuang Rou dragged the princess to the door, let her go and saluted: "The princess, please go back, now that you are outside the door, I will inform the little princess and princess, and the silver in the house will be delivered soon." ”

Princess Xian held back her anger, panted and gritted her teeth and said, "Very good, you have done a good job, and the Xian Wangfu has recorded this debt." ”

"The princess doesn't have to worry too much, with a talent like Shizi, she can be rich for several generations. After all, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how good the Xianwang Mansion is, there will be no food to eat. Zhuang Rou said with a smile.

Listening to her words, Princess Xian frowned, very puzzled why she was just a should be arrested, why she was against the palace everywhere. The words are more ugly than the others, and they all poke people in the heart, as if they deliberately wanted you to kill her.

Deliberately......

Princess Xian was shocked, this is indeed the case now, she has repeatedly provoked to completely destroy the Xianwang Mansion!

She stared at Zhuang Rou and said, "I already know your conspiracy, no matter who your master is, I tell you, the treacherous plan will not succeed!" ”

Zhuang Rou looked at her inexplicably, thought about it and said seriously: "I don't know what the princess is talking about, but I just want to tell you that my own is a child, and so is someone else's." Don't think about fighting concubines all day long, you should be a little kind once in a while. ”

"I don't need you to teach me yet!" Princess Xian shouted coldly, there is really no discipline left!

"Then whatever you want, if you send someone to kill me, remember to bring a coffin so that you can collect the corpses of your people." If she didn't listen, Zhuang Rou glanced at her, then walked down the steps and turned over her horse and went straight to the south gate.

Princess Xian stared at her and left, turned around to meet King Xian who came out, pulled him and said, "Lord, the concubine has something to say, I have found the problem." ”

King Xian frowned, and took her to the study, to listen to his concubine's plan.

Zhuang Rou rode back to the county office, bolted the horse to the door and looked up at the dilapidated gate, it was really not good if it was not repaired, it didn't look like a place where the yamen should be.

Walking in, she saw the little prince sitting in a rocking chair under the tree to enjoy the shade, there was a deputy stretcher on the ground, and there was a gray-haired old man lying on it, and a fat aunt was standing next to him.

"What's wrong?" As soon as Zhuang Rou opened her mouth to ask what was going on, the aunt shouted at the top of her voice.

"My lord, my lord is dying of hunger! He is also a dignified person, he has not saved half a tael of silver for decades as an official, and now what can he do if he is guilty of such a crime! ”

Zhuang Rou was stunned and looked at the old man, and sighed in her heart, this person can't be the county magistrate of Douhu County, right?

Chu Xia faced the big voice of the county lady, shook it with a fan, and then pointed at Zhuang Rou slowly and leisurely and said: "Madame, don't worry, the county government has already asked her to do it, if she gets the silver this time, the three years of money will be calculated to the county lord." ”

He completely forgot what his surname was in this county, he had reached the point where he was old and not stiff, and he couldn't do anything, so it was better to get some silver and live a good life for a few days.

Mrs. County Cheng was like a tigress, she turned her head and looked at her, and when she lifted her skirt, she was about to pounce and grab the silver.

Zhuang Rou grabbed her hands fiercely, and said excitedly and politely: "What a beautiful pair of hands, so hard to become like this, but please rest assured, Madame, the silver is already there." ”

"Is there really any money?" Mrs. County asked in disbelief, tears welled up in her eyes, she couldn't live without any silver, and her jewelry was gone.

She originally heard that the new county order had come, so she carried her master over and forced her to ask for silver. Other counties are so beautiful that they live, but here is a place where the powerful walk all over the place, not to mention living a prosperous life, and losing their former belongings.

I thought that I could climb the relationship when I came here, and I spent a lot of money on entertainment and gifts all day long, but I didn't expect that the relationship was not drawn, and even the usual means of the people were gone, and the family road was defeated in an instant.

There are generally no cases in this broken place, and no one can afford to offend if there is a case, and the other party will not dare to accept the money if he really wants to give you money. The most hateful thing is that the annual salary is only 300 taels of silver, and you can maintain your life if you save a little, but you don't want the county government to have half a penny of silver, and even the money has been deducted.

Moreover, the previous county magistrate also offended a powerful person, and inexplicably went back to his hometown to farm, which frightened the county lord to fall ill instantly, and after taking a few more pairs of medicine, the last silver was all smashed.

The county Cheng family, who was originally living a happy life and wanted to go further, let alone big fish and meat every day, couldn't even afford to eat rice.

Now I hear that there is a lot of silver to take, and it is nearly a thousand taels of silver, how urgent this must be!

Chu Xia looked at her with a smile, it seemed that this silver was about to arrive.

Ma Dezheng and they were also shocked when they heard it, their work and food were not much, ten taels of silver a year, but there were also thirty taels.

"I'll hand it over to the master now, and the county's accounts will be in his charge for the time being, so you can find him to get the money according to the rules." Zhuang Rou let go of her hand, went to find the master and handed over the 20,000 taels of silver, and then he sent out the money after he made the account.

And Mrs. County Cheng and Ma Dezheng followed her closely, afraid that in a blink of an eye, the silver ticket would be gone. Seeing that there were really a few silver tickets taken out, I breathed a sigh of relief.

The master glanced at them, then stood up and said, "Come a few people, follow me to the money bank to withdraw the silver." ”

"I'll go!"

"I have a lot of strength, and I can carry as much silver as I can!"

Several of them instantly raised their hands and grabbed them, and there was no more pleasant job than carrying silver. If it weren't for the fact that Mrs. County Cheng still knew her identity, she would have wanted to follow.

The master took people out to carry silver, 20,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and it is not okay if there are fewer people. And the little county king also looked at Mrs. County, and now that she has the grace of silver, she doesn't want to offend the adult who has a lot to take as soon as she comes, so he quickly called the master and carried the county lady back.

But it won't be long before she will definitely put on the clothes that she is reluctant to wear at the bottom of the box, and come over to get the silver.

The entire yamen was full of joy because of the 20,000 taels of silver, and even the officials were very happy, and they had some income.

Chu Xia touched the cat lying on his body, looked at Zhuang Rou and said with a smile: "I can't see it, you want to pay off the account quickly, I don't worry about the silver of the princess's mansion, I'm worried that the Xianwang Mansion will not give you this face." ”

"Your Excellency, you are wrong. The princess's mansion is difficult, and it won't give you a chance at all. When it came to the virtuous king, he took 20,000 silver out directly, saying that he had no way to teach his son, so he naturally wanted to help the princess pay the silver. Especially Princess Xian, who personally sent me to the gate, it was so approachable. Zhuang Rou smiled.

Before she could do it, she was said again, "I really didn't expect that such two good people would give birth to a beast." ”

Virtuous and approachable?

Chu Xia smiled and asked curiously, "Why is it difficult to ask for a princess?" ”

"Poor, I can't even squeeze out a thousand taels." Zhuang Rou said.

Although he knew a lot of things, Chu Xia was really stunned. He lived such a worry-free life, how would he know that a princess didn't even have a thousand taels of silver, and no matter how small the food was enough, it was enough to live a luxurious life, and there were royal rewards for the New Year's and festivals.

Seeing his stupid appearance, Zhuang Rou smiled and said: "In fact, the food and yi over the years have been put away by the Xianwang Mansion, and I am waiting for the princess to take it out when she gets married, so I decided to take out 100,000 taels of silver today, plus a few shops to return to the princess." ”

Chu Xia looked at her in a daze, and only after a while did he lean back on the recliner and laugh so much that he couldn't speak, "You are really too good, 100,000 taels of silver!" ”

Zhuang Rou glanced at him with disgust, "That was the initiative of King Xian himself, who can force him." ”

"The killer he sent out in the past few days should be able to attack you, do you want to live in my house, you usually sleep on my couch and it's fine, this king can protect you." Chu Xia asked with a smile.

"Lord Xie, but if he really sends someone over, it won't be just right, and he will just cut his title." Zhuang Rou refused directly, who can't see his bullying thoughts.

Chu Xia said regretfully: "Then you can take care of yourself, you and Ma Dezheng discussed the matter of repairing the county government, and when you go out and earn enough, you will come back, fifty or sixty thousand taels is enough." ”

Zhuang Rou asked inexplicably, "Where to earn?" ”

"Of course it's Douhu County, I sit here and know that the streets are full of silver, and I think it will take a few days to get enough silver." Chu Xia grabbed the cat's paw and played, and said casually.

This person really didn't say anything at all, what do you mean, fifty or sixty thousand taels of silver!

Zhuang Rou glanced at him, she couldn't grab so much silver when she grabbed it, and she saw a chair moved out next to her, which looked pretty good, so she sat down directly.

With a bang, the chair flashed instantly, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and she was stunned.

"I said I wanted to repair it." Chu Xia saw that the cat was scared away by this noise, so he stood up and shook his head, and walked outside with his hands behind his back to take the guards outside to eat.

Zhuang Rou stood up and patted the ashes on his body, and the wooden slag hanging on his clothes, and then looked at the broken county government, and felt that he really couldn't live like this anymore. Anyway, there are a lot of powerful people here, and all industries have backstage, so it doesn't matter if you fish and meat.

Thinking of this, she hung up her saber and ran to the gate to wait for Ma Dezheng and them to return. These guys rushed to carry the silver, and now there was not even half a helper except her.

After waiting for a while, Ma Dezheng and the others came back with their master, and their expression and momentum seemed to be that of the groom's official. The 20,000 taels of silver tickets were exchanged for silver, and ten large boxes were filled with great difficulty, and they were pulled back in a carriage with great difficulty.

This attracted countless onlookers along the way, and Ma Dezheng was afraid of them, and when he saw someone watching, he patted the box and shouted proudly: "See, it's full of silver, and our yamen is rich!" ”

Several other people were also showing off there, Zhuang Rou saw that the master was hugged in the middle, and her whole face was almost red to the root of her ears with shame, it was really shameful!

Seeing that they were about to arrive at the county office, Zhuang Rou immediately slipped away along the root of the wall, so that she didn't want to be held up by those people like the master and do that kind of embarrassing thing.
