Chapter 11: Little People
readx;
Chu Youcheng is a small person, but he himself feels that he shouldn't be a little person all the time. From a very young age www.biquge.info he dreamed of one day having a huge property, when he went out, there were smiling servants hugging him, and when he returned home, he could see a few coquettish wives and concubines, Chu Youcheng has also been working in this direction.
It's a pity that time flies, and I have already passed the year of standing and still achieved nothing. In the end, Chu Youcheng realized with some trepidation that he might only be like that distant uncle in this life, honestly be a loyal servant, busy for the affairs of the master's family for a lifetime, and then give birth to a son to replace him, and then the children and grandchildren will continue like this, but Chu Youcheng knows that he looks down on that uncle very much in his heart, and he never wants to live a life like him.
Finally one day, Chu Youcheng came up with a bold idea as his last fight against fate. It is also because of the uncle who is a loyal servant and housekeeper, Chu Youcheng can not start as a miscellaneous servant, but can learn to be a bookkeeper, which is a very high-status errand among servants, and Chu Youcheng is active and knows how to work hard, and in just a few years, he has become a very valued account office of the main family, and it is precisely with such a status that Chu Youcheng has the opportunity to unknowingly roll away thousands of taels of silver. Chu Youcheng believes that with this silver as capital, he will definitely be able to realize his dream of becoming a big man.
Then Chu Youcheng came to Hangzhou full of apprehension and hope, ready to go to sea by boat. Chu Youcheng firmly believes that maybe he only needs one trip, and he can have a ship full of gold and spices, and then his uncle will be full of astonishment, and the gentle young lady will also look at him with straight eyes, so the mansion will be there, the wife and concubine will be there, and everything will be there. But the fierce officer of Qinghe County easily caught him, and the gentle young lady just glanced at herself lightly, shook her head and left under the pleading of her parents.
Just when he was full of resentment, gratitude, shame and despair, a young man looked at him condescendingly and said lightly: "I heard that you turned out to be an account office?"
Chu Youcheng was indignant and said angrily: "I'm not an accountant, I'll be a big man!"
Wang Buregret's face turned cold, and he knocked on the table and said, "Lord Chu is asking you something, pay attention to your attitude." ”
Chu Youcheng came back to his senses at this time, the young man in front of him had long since heard from him, but the young man in front of him was still a big man that he could only look up to.
Chu Youcheng bowed his head a little panickedly and said, "The adult atonements, the villain lost his mind just now." ”
Chu Nan waved his hand, signaling Wang Buregret not to scare him anymore, and continued to ask, "You turned out to be Zhang Mingjing's accounting master?"
Chu Youcheng clenched his fists, feeling insulted, but he still said in a trembling voice: "Yes, my lord, the villain has been a master under Zhang Mingjing for two years. ”
Chu Nan squinted his eyes and said, "Do you know all the tricks that Zhang Mingjing did in private?"
Chu Youcheng's body trembled slightly, and he said astringently: "The villain is just an ordinary master, how could he tell the villain about those things? The villain has already told Lord Wang before, the villain really inadvertently became an accomplice of the evil thief, but the villain is just doing some very simple bookkeeping errands, and Lord Wang has already promised not to investigate the villain's guilt." ”
Wang Buregret frowned and said: "You have to figure it out, this official is saying that you will be given the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and how to deal with you in the end depends on your performance." ”
Chu Nan picked up the teacup, but didn't care about anything else, and said slowly: "It's really a coincidence, the official's surname is Chu, and you are also surnamed Chu, it seems that you and I are both from Jingzhou." ”
Chu Youcheng knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "The slave has seen the fifth young master, and the villain didn't mean to hide his identity. ”
Wang Buregret's face was full of surprise, and he couldn't help but be annoyed: "What did the people below do, they didn't even investigate his identity, it's really damned." ”
Chu Nan smiled and helped Chu Youcheng up, nodded and said, "I have long heard that Uncle Jiu said that he has a nephew, and he changed his surname to Chu after the nod of the old ancestor, and I think it will be you." ”
Chu Youcheng said astringently: "The villain lives up to his uncle's expectations again, and he has no face to see his old man again in this life." ”
Chu Nan patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Who can not make mistakes? Fortunately, the mistakes you made are not a great crime, and your uncle has forgiven you a long time ago." ”
Chu Nan pressed Chu Youcheng on the chair, returned to his seat, and said, "Don't be nervous, just tell me how you became Zhang Mingjing's master after you left the Chu family, and when I return to Beijing, I can have a good talk with Uncle Jiu." ”
Chu Youcheng only dared to use half of his butt next to the chair, lowered his head and said: "At the beginning, the villain was obsessed with ghosts, and he was spared by Miss to survive. happened to meet Zhang Mingjing, he saw that the villain still had some skills, so he asked me to stay and be the bookkeeper, the villain's family has elderly and frail parents, in order to make a living, the villain is also forced to survive. ”
After hearing this, Wang Buregret sneered: "Didn't you just say that you didn't know anything?
Chu Youcheng raised his head and said, "I used to be sorry for the Chu family, but now I don't want to hide it from the fifth young master." ”
Wang Buregret looked at Chu Nan, who was expressionless, but still shook his head without saying anything after hesitation.
Chu Nan sighed and said: "I used to hear Uncle Jiu say that you have been ambitious since you were a child, and Yue'er was praising you for being one of the few good seedlings in the Chu family's old house, and now that you are involved in this case, what are your plans in the future?"
Chu Youcheng said with gratitude on his face: "Miss is very kind, and the villain can't repay it." As soon as this case is over, the villain will follow a few maritime merchants to the sea, and when the villain is successful, he will thank the young lady for her kindness. ”
Chu Nan tapped his finger on the table and said, "Going to sea to do business, this is a good idea, many people get rich overnight, but do you have enough capital?"
Chu Youcheng's expression was stunned, and he hung his head and was silent.
Wang Buregret continued to say with a dark face: "Why don't you speak? Is it the reward that the Zhang family promised you, and the condition is to fool us over?"
Chu Youcheng looked anxious, wanting to explain something but didn't know where to start.
Chu Nan stopped Wang Buregret from continuing, and muttered: "Actually, there are some things that the Zhang family can find out if they go to cover up, I guess you should have something in your hand, such as Zhang Mingjing's other set of secret accounts, don't forget, the bookkeeping method that Yue'er taught you was still given to Yue'er." ”
Chu Youcheng lowered his head vigorously, wanting to stop his body from trembling, but he had to admit that Chu Nan's fluttering words made the secret he thought he had hidden deep a joke.
Chu Nan then smiled and said: "But I think you have been working under Zhang Mingjing for two years, he can be greedy for millions of taels, and you are not short of those capitals, but the difference is just a way to go to sea." ”
Chu Youcheng calmed down at this time, and said in a low voice: "The fifth young master is very similar to Master Zhang, and the villain knows that he can't fool the young master." ”
Chu Nan smiled: "Master Zhang, it seems that you are still very grateful to him." But as long as you say everything that needs to be said and give me everything that should be handed over, I guarantee your safety and show you the way. ”
Chu Youcheng said in a low voice: "The Zhang family covers the sky with one hand in this generation, I don't think the young master's guarantee has the promise of the Zhang family." ”
Wang was furious, and was about to reprimand, but was stopped by Chu Nan. Chu Nan smiled: "I deserve to be valued by Yue'er, but I like to talk to smart people." ”
Chu Nan looked at Chu Youcheng, who bowed his head and was silent, and said: "You have been in the south for a long time, you must know the origin of the Zhenjiang General Army, and you must also understand the relationship between me and the Yang family." I can go and say hello and let the coastal defense battalion take care of you, but if it doesn't work, I will go and ask you for a permit to go to sea, so that you can go to sea openly. Seeing that Chu Youcheng was a little moved, Chu Nan hit the railway while it was hot: "You have been under Zhang Mingjing for many years, the pirates in the East China Sea must know some, as long as you go overseas, no matter how strong the Zhang family is, it is beyond the reach of the whip, after all, in the eyes of those tribal chiefs, brocade ceramics are much more important than the Zhang family." ”
Zhang Mingjing grew from an illegitimate child who was not valued to a figure that the head of the Zhang family did not dare to underestimate, mostly because he had his own way and controlled most of the pirate strength in the East China Sea openly and secretly. And Chu Youcheng, as Zhang Mingjing's confidant, has a secret network that cannot be underestimated, which is also the biggest capital he is not afraid of the Zhang family turning his face and not recognizing people after he goes to sea.
Chu Nan sighed and said: "Okay, I'll say one last thing, the certificate of going to sea will be given to you, and I will be responsible for matching you in Yingzhou, and you can develop there in the future." ”
Chu Youcheng realized that this might be the best opportunity to his dream of becoming a big man, the certificate of going to sea, his connections at sea and his relationship in Yingzhou, if he couldn't succeed, Chu Youcheng was willing to die. Although he promised eighty percent in his heart, he still said cautiously: "What the young master said is good, but how can I believe it?"
Chu Nan clapped his hands, called out Yang Lin, who was eavesdropping in the inner hall, pulled him to his side, and said with a smile: "Do you know her? She is the second lady of the Yang family, I will let her go to the general army of Zhenjiang, do you say okay? As for Yingzhou, I won't hide it from you, I have some relationship with Fusang Mountain, although it is not very close, but it is still okay to say hello to Yingzhou and take care of you, but this will not prove it for a while, and I can't help it if you don't believe it." ”
Chu Youcheng looked at Yang Lin, who was reluctant but gracious, and made up his mind: "I believe in the young master." If the young master can guarantee my safety before I go to sea, I am willing to take out that set of account books. ”
The king was overjoyed, and Chu Nan laughed and said, "Don't you know that I am in charge of the soldiers outside the door?" As long as you help me find out this case, I will send you to the Zhenjiang camp. ”
Chu Youcheng said with confidence: "That's not necessary, the villain still has some things to deal with in Hangzhou." ”
Chu Nan summoned Li Yong and ordered him to protect his safety in front of Chu Youcheng, and then asked Li Yong to take Chu Youcheng down, and then live next door to Li Yong.
Wang Buregret was very excited, and praised Chu Nan again and again. Yang Lin's face was full of unhappiness, and she muttered: "This method seems to have come up with me, and it should be right to praise me." ”
Chu Nan smiled, his face was full of admiration, and said: "It's still Lin'er who is amazing, brother-in-law, I'm just stained with Lin'er's light." ”
Yang Lin shook his head and said proudly: "That is, I know too well about this kind of person who is bent on climbing up, and it is ............ in those legendary novels Forehead ............"
Wang Buregret crying and laughing, the reasoning of the eldest lady is all realized from those legendary novels.
Just as Yang Lin was jumping around the house by Wang Buregret and Chu Nan mockingly, there was also a beautiful woman jumping around in the mansion of Jiangyue, the prefect of Hangzhou, but unlike Yang Lin, the woman was dancing.
Jiang Yue looked at Zhang Ziliang, who was staring at the dancing girl closely, and said hesitantly: "Today, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate took away the account room surnamed Chu again, which means that if you want to take the person in your hands, Brother Zhang won't worry?"
Zhang Ziliang sighed, reluctantly looked away from the dancing girl, and said with a smile: "What did Master Jiang say just now?"
Jiang Yue was helpless, so he had to repeat what he had just said again.
Zhang Ziliang didn't care about it, and waved his hand: "Master Jiang is too worried, it's just a small person, and it won't affect the overall situation, let's still drink and watch the beauty dance with peace of mind." Hey, beauty, why don't you jump and keep jumping. ”
Jiang Yue looked at Zhang Ziliang, who put his mind on the soft waist of the dancer in the hall, and sighed helplessly: "You don't know that a lot of big things are bad for the little people, hey, it's better that I'm too careful." ”
