Chapter Fifty-Six: Don't Want to Be Quiet, Send Charcoal in the Snow

"Lord Bu!" "Lord Bu!"

Along the way, many familiar officials greeted Bu Sinan, all with smiles on their faces. Bu Sinan also smiled and returned the salute one by one.

This is the third floor of the drunken wind building in Beijing, such a big restaurant, it can only be seen in Beijing, the usual restaurant, can have two floors, put down the state capital below, it is already the premier restaurant, let alone three floors. The third floor of this drunken wind building is almost exclusively for officials, and ordinary businessmen, even if they have money, may not be able to get up.

Lifting the tinkling curtain, Bu Wenshan walked in, and several scribe-like people sitting and drinking inside stood up one after another: "Wenshan is late, be punished!" Be punished! ”

Wenshan is the expression of Bu Sinan, of course, in this era, there is also the habit of using land names to call people, that is, it is not wrong to call Bu Sinan Bujining.

Yes, this Bu Sinan is the Qiliner of the Bu family, and he was in charge of the ministry at the time. However, there has been faint news recently that this Lord Bu has gotten the blue eyes of a certain bigwig in the cabinet, and it is estimated that he will be released. Su Rili's close friends of the same year specially set up a banquet in this drunken wind building, one is to have a small gathering, and the other is to get some definite news from the mouths of the parties.

"Where the words! Where the words! Bu Sinan's mouth was very tight, and for the inquiries of his friends, a set of Tai Chi made him fascinated.

"Brother Bu doesn't have to be that little child, he is not an outsider in what he is doing, what's the harm of showing a little bit of tone, isn't it afraid that we will be promoted to your house to fight the autumn breeze!"

Everyone laughed, but it was not without kindness. Bu Sinan's heart is also itching like a cat's paw scratching, in the past few years, Beijing officials have come down, who doesn't want to be released, nothing in Beijing, once released, it is majestic and wealthy. And he even knew that his whereabouts had been decided, and only after the court meeting, it would be announced, and at this moment, the three or five confidants were questioned in every possible way, and the joy in his heart was nowhere to vent, if it weren't for the fact that he had always been steady, and there were repeated instructions from Lord Shangshu, I was afraid that he would have said it long ago.

If you are rich and noble, not to mention knowing it, it is really like walking at night in brocade clothes.

"Let's not embarrass Brother Bu, the affairs of the court and the central government, the changes are treacherous, until the last moment, no one knows the attention of the holy will, Brother Bu is often in the ministry, how can he not know the importance of the reason!"

This one is right! Bu Sinan gently twisted the short whisker of his chin and nodded slightly. Unexpectedly, the tone of the words changed, "However, Brother Bu roughly points in a direction, and I can wait to know it, but what about it?" ”

Bu Sinan pointed the chopsticks in his hand slightly, but he didn't speak anymore, and raised his glass, "Eat and drink, I heard that you ate wine in Lord Liu's mansion the day before yesterday and got a few good poems, but I am not blessed to hear it, today can not be worse than that day......"

But everyone was touched by his finger, the south, or Nanjing? If you go to Nanjing, it won't be released, but like exile, this Bu Sinan doesn't have a lost look on his face at all, isn't he going to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River? If you were to be the last governor or prefect in that rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, it would be really a big fat difference.

At the same time, in the Bu family's mansion in Jining Mansion, Shandong, the old lady of the Bu family, his sons and several important stewards of the Bu family also gathered in the same room, discussing things with solemn faces.

"Sinan, this kid is going out at this juncture, and he doesn't bring the letter back in advance, so that the family can make some preparations, all of a sudden, where can he make up such a large amount?" Old lady Bu's face was white, trembling slightly, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or worried.

"If it is usual, these 100,000 taels of silver, it's not that I can't make it up, but I just bought two sea ships and spent a lot of silver taels, and it will be inconvenient for a while, or wait until our sea ships come back from the sea, this trip, there will always be a lot of benefits!" A young man sitting at the head of the old lady said that although this person was not very old, this was the youngest son of the cloth family's room, and he was also quite authoritative at home.

"Confused!" Old lady Bu glared at him: "Can this kind of thing wait?" Do you think that the entire imperial court, just our family Sinan alone, is suitable for this position? I don't know how many people are staring at this position, this time is delayed, and there may not be such a good opportunity in the future! ”

"Why don't you take our shop and field out a little bit, make up a little bit for the third brother first, and then talk about ..... after a while?" The person who interjected, his voice became smaller and quieter, not only the old lady Bu stared at him, but even the other people around him stared at him. The ancestral property must not be moved, this is the ancestral training, and even if the store sells all the property, I am afraid that I will not be able to make it up.

"Or, find our friends and move it first, my Bu family can be regarded as a century-old family in Jining City, and this face should still be there!" The man said with a sigh.

"Hey!" Old lady Bu sighed, "Little Wu, go out, go back to your room and read more, these days, don't go out and wander around with your friends!" ”

How can this kind of thing be publicized? Old lady Bu shook his head slightly, among the direct children, there are still few people who are really sober-minded! If this is a Yang, and people link this matter with the affairs of the capital, then don't they clearly tell people that my Bu family borrowed money to clear the way? This is a blow to Sinan's reputation, not to mention, if it reaches the ears of the adults who collect the money, it may fall into the impression that Sinan is not stable enough, and maybe things that are easy to do will also have a few twists and turns in the ground.

"This kind of thing can't be publicized, especially at this juncture, although Xiao Wu is a little reckless, it is also for the good of the family!" The one next to him came to play a round, otherwise, let's try to make up as much as possible at home, and then send a letter to the seventh and thirteenth children, asking them to also make efforts to take out the idle silver in their hands, won't the junior be able to repay them in the future? ”

"Far water can't quench your thirst?" Old lady Bu shook his head, "Sinan made it clear, it is best to ask for it before this month, and when the letters are exchanged, even if some money is paid, it will be useless for major events!" ”

"Where's the ruler? The cloth ruler is growing in the long reed, and there should be a lot of inputs, if you get some hands and feet, tens of thousands of taels of silver are not difficult? ”

"He is just a salt ambassador with an unstable foundation, and there is a salt supervisor above, that is the father-in-law in the palace, usually greedy, people can treat it as if they don't see it, if they stretch out their hands too long, people won't sit idly by!"

The old lady Bu commented on the cloth ruler, but suddenly stopped, obviously, he thought of something.

In the middle of the sound, he slowly opened his mouth: "Speaking of cloth rulers, I think of a person who has a close relationship with him, have you ever remembered, what did we do when we bought a sea boat?" ”

"Didn't you say that there was a private port for two ships to enter and exit the Lingshan Patrol? Oh... The old lady is talking about the inspection of the Lingshan Mountain! ”

"Yes, the Lingshan patrol Yu Feng is obviously more profitable than the cloth ruler in that position, and all of you here today are people from my cloth family, and I should tell you some things. At the beginning, it was not that Bu Qi didn't want to do it in the position of inspecting the Spirit Mountain, but in that place, he was elbowed by this so-called Yu Feng everywhere, so he had to take the opportunity to change his position. At that time, this afterglow was just a salt lord who started as a broken showman, and the current situation is different from the beginning. ”

"The day before yesterday, the old lady asked the silver to transfer away the hundred households of the brocade guard, just for this aftermath?"

"Yes, although this Yu Feng will collect money, but his silver is not visible, and there is no assistance in the officialdom, the hundred households were embarrassed by him, and he had no choice but to ask for our cloth family, since he is good friends with the cloth ruler, you might as well ask him, he doesn't dare to go out!"

"But that's tens of thousands of taels of silver!" Someone muttered unconvinced, the Bu family has accumulated for a hundred years, and it is also a bit difficult to do things, can it be taken out with a small inspection.

"Just ask, ask him what benefits he wants!"

Old lady Bu knew something in his heart, this money, this Yu Feng must be able to take it, the question is whether he is willing to take it. controlled the salt goods of several state capitals, and there was a private port comparable to Jinshan, if he couldn't get the money, he really had the heart to think about changing the owner of Yufeng's industry.

Yu Feng really can't take it out!

Seeing the handwritten letter of the old lady of the cloth family in his hand, as well as the IOU written by the old lady Bu behind the letterhead, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.

Thirty thousand taels, another thirty thousand taels, the old man of this cloth family really looks down on himself! I have lived a hard time for more than half a year, a few days ago, I couldn't catch the line of the Zheng family in Fujian, and my hands were a little more active, if the 30,000 taels were taken out, I was afraid that I would have to tighten my pants and live a hard life for a while.

However, there is a clear difference between this 30,000 taels and the 30,000 taels that Jinyiwei sent someone to ask for, the 30,000 taels, take it out yourself, it is a meat bun to beat the dog, there is no return, and you have to worry about this vicious dog coming back and tearing yourself a few bites. This 30,000 taels, although it is a bit difficult to take it out by yourself, but the benefits are obvious.

The first is that the relationship between himself and the Bu family must be closer, by the way, many of the resources of the Bu family can be used for their own use, and the second is that with the net worth of the Bu family, they actually borrow money from themselves, so they are now in a hurry to use money, what reason is there to rush to use money, not to do business and make a big loss, or to be in a hurry to stuff people with silver. How is the business of the Bu family, you can know it as soon as you ask, then, there is only one possibility, that is, the son of the Bu family is an official asking for money to bribe the official.

I took out the 30,000 taels one by one, not to say that it completely solved the problem of the cloth family, at least it can be regarded as a charcoal in the snow! After this incense relationship, in the future, the children of the Bu family who are officials, including the six subjects in Beijing, will always think of their own goodness, even if it is a political investment, he will borrow this money. What's more, there is an IOU from the main family behind this, this is not still the same thing, at least the attitude of the people is very sincere, if he refuses, it is estimated that the friendship with the Bu family these days will be completely over.

"Come on, ask the old man to take someone to the silver vault and order 30,000 taels of silver for Burun!"
