Chapter 105: A Harmonious Society

"Lord Zou doesn't have to be restrained, you and I are our own people."

When Zou Weilian and Chen Cao started to deal with each other, the other party was just the head of Jinyiwei's execution, and now when they meet again, they are already the nobles of the Ming Dynasty.

"Uncle is polite," Zou Weilian was a little embarrassed: "How can the lower official let the uncle invite him to dinner." ”

Chen Cao personally poured Zou Weilian a glass of wine, and then said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, Ben Bo congratulated you for inviting you to dinner." ”

Zou Weilian's eyes lit up, and he didn't dare to show it, so he asked tentatively: "I don't know if there is anything that the lower official can make the uncle personally congratulate." ”

Chen Cao likes this guy from the bottom of his heart, and it is a good thing to treat him as a gunman: "Since the last time Brother Zou helped Ben Bo, he was pressed by the people of the military department, and Ben Bo also knew your situation, no, the news came back from the Beijing Division a few days ago, and Ben Bo mediated from it and gave you the real shortage of the right senator in the Beijing Division, I don't know what Lord Zou wants?" ”

Zou Weilian was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up, saluted towards Chen Cao's standard, bowed and said, "Uncle Xie is promoted." ”

Chen Cao was very glad that he had taken down this person before Zou Weilian completely entered the Donglin Party, so he nodded with a smile and said, "Brother Zou doesn't have to be polite, you and I are our own people." ”

"My own people... own people..."Zou Weilian said again and again: "With the help of Uncle Meng, the next official will definitely take the lead of Uncle Meng in the future." ”

Chen Cao asked him to sit down, and then asked Zhao Xin to bring the things he had prepared: "Ben Bo knows that you don't have much oil and water, so I will give you 30,000 taels of special gifts, so that you can buy a house to live in Jingshi, if you have any difficulties in the future, just find the local Jinyi guard to sit and inform Ben Bo." ”

Zou Weilian bowed again: "The lower officials are grateful... Appreciate... After the lower official arrived in Beijing, if the uncle had any instructions, just tell the lower official, and the lower official will definitely do his best. ”

"Okay, good..."Chen Cao stretched out his hand and pressed Zou Weilian's hand, and then said with a smile: "Such a harmonious society is a good time for people like you and me to develop their fists and feet..."

...

"Uncle is really magnanimous, just one Zou Weilian will shoot 30,000 taels..."Seeing Zou Weilian away, Zhao Xin came back and smiled.

Chen Cao put the food in his mouth, shook his head and said: "His value is not 30,000 taels, but 300,000 taels, buying him now is better than doing it against us in the future." ”

"By the way, uncle, something big happened in the capital a few days ago." Zhao Xin picked up the dish and ate it.

"Was it the last time the court said it was going to impeach me?" Chen Cao put down his chopsticks and asked.

Zhao Xin nodded: "No, the Donglin Party united more than 300 officials in Beijing, and the Great Dynasty was headed by Gu Dazhang, a member of the Criminal Department..."

"Who? Gu Dazhang? Chen Cao interrupted Zhao Xin's words.

Zhao Xin nodded: "Yes, it's the same Gu Linsheng who offended his uncle before." ”

"Go on," Chen Cao thought.

"When Shang Shu played the right game, he presented the emperor with the recital of Wei Gonggong's "Ten Sins of Impeachment of Wei Zhongxian", hey," Zhao Xin was like telling a story: "Listening to the brothers in the capital, Wei Gonggong was trembling with anger, and his pants were wet..."

Originated from the ancient castration technology, after the eunuchs were cleaned, due to the technical incompleteness, they would leak urine, so the eunuchs would put a piece of cloth like a woman's menstrual belt under the step when they were on duty, called 'trousers', which was also to prevent the smell of urine in wet pants by the emperor or concubines, even so, a eunuch's trousers should be changed at least four times a day to be considered clean, otherwise there will be a strange smell.

And a big eunuch like Wei Zhongxian usually has to change his pants once in one or two hours.

"Their courage is still quite big..."Chen Cao admired these so-called Qingliu celebrities from the bottom of his heart.

Zhao Xin put down his chopsticks: "The emperor was angry at that time, and then there was big news..."

Chen Cao squinted at Zhao Xin: "Have you forgotten that I don't like selling Guanzi the most?" ”

Zhao Xin was excited: "Jinyiwei checked, Gu Dazhang was involved in the civil unrest in Zhejiang, the next day Zhang I continued to come forward to protect it, but it was taken down by Jinyiwei, no, the two people have been arrested and imprisoned in Beisi, whether they can come out is a big question mark, uncle, should we take advantage of the current situation to pocket all the remaining assets of Zhang and I in Zhejiang?" ”

"The proposal is good, but don't forget that they are mainly targeting me and Wei Zhongxian, with Lao Wei in front of us, we can't make trouble, this money is not open to him, we must not start, otherwise we will offend him and don't say it, hehe..."

However, the next words made Chen Cao a little surprised.

Zhao Xin whispered: "I heard from the brother of the North Division, the renovation of the three major halls is coming to an end because of the matter of money, and the emperor is ready to knight Wei Liangqing, who paid the most money this time..."

"Wei Liangqing?" Chen Cao frowned.

Zhao Xin nodded: "Wei Zhongxian's nephew, I heard that it is at least above the marquis." ”

"Old Wei is smart..."Chen Cao thought in his heart: "An old eunuch handed over all the money I gave him to Wei Liangqing, and then let Wei Liangqing sit and reap the profits of the fisherman, so that he could have a good plan." ”

"So the subordinates said that the uncle gave Zou Weilian too much money." Zhao Xinyou chattered once.

"Zhao Xin, in your name, send another 30,000 taels to Zou Weilian, go..."

"Ahh

......

"What kind of wind can blow Hou Ye to the little brother?" Chen Cao greeted Pu Xiang, who had come to visit, into the house with a smile.

In the study, Pu Xiang handed over a folded letter to Chen Cao: "Brother don't be polite, you and my brother have had a good relationship since the day they met, don't forget that you spent a lot of money on your first book for my brother..."

"Hahaha..."Chen Cao raised his head and laughed, then picked up the teacup and said, "Since that's the case, then I will thank Brother Pu for taking care of him." ”

After speaking, he opened it and looked at it, Chen Cao was happy in his heart, and then folded the letter and put it next to the desk, Brother Pu saw this, so he leaned close to his head and asked mysteriously: "I used to think that your habits were different, brother, but now it seems that it is really good..."

Chen Cao knew that Pu Xiang was ridiculing himself, so he didn't pretend, and said with a smile: "Although a fifteen or sixteen-year-old woman is married, I don't know if Brother Pu has found out, after the woman is eighteen, her figure is getting better and better, even better than when she was fifteen or sixteen." ”

"Know... I know..."Pu Xiang smiled a little lewdly: "So since last year, I have also tried some older ones for my brother, and it really tastes different..."

"Hahaha..."Chen Cao really thought Pu Xiang was funny, so he shook his head: "Brother Pu... You..."

Pu Xiang also laughed, and then became serious: "That Shen Zhuangling is the wife of the cousin of the Mu family, and after her husband died, she was sent to Nanjing by the Mu family, and the Shen family is attached to the Mu family in Yunnan, do you know it?" ”

With Pu Xiang's rigor, Chen Cao also became serious, nodded and said: "I know this, so I went to Mu Qilin to see if he has the courage, but the little brother is really unbelievable, it was Brother Pu who sent the documents, you came?" ”

Pu Xiang was a little embarrassed: "It's not a secret, my ancestor was under the command of King Qianning, and my family was able to regain the title because of the help of the Duke of Qianguo." ”

Pu Xiang's relationship directly shows that he is a member of the Mu family, but he can personally deliver the documents, which also proves that the relationship between this guy and Mu Qiyuan is average.

"Brother Pu, it's all here, why don't we open the skylight and say something bright," Chen Cao poured tea for Pu Xiang's teacup: "Do you support Mu Qilin?" ”

After Pu Xiang finished speaking, he smiled embarrassedly, and then was a little embarrassed: "It's not okay if you don't support it, Mu Qilin and I are in-laws..."

"Oh, and this relationship? Why? Chen Cao was curious.

"My mother's sister is Mu Qilin's mother..."Pu Xiang grinned.

"No wonder..."Chen Cao smiled and said, "I said, how could such a timid person as Duke Qianguo help Brother Pu's family restore the title." ”

After speaking, Chen Cao got serious: "Presumably Brother Pu also knows that Mu Qiyuan has bent the law in Yunnan too much, and the local Jinyi Guard's detectives have confirmed his behavior, and now there is a direct impeachment of the Yunnan Patrol, at that time, hehe..."

Pu Xiang also nodded thoughtfully: "Brother Chen, I hope you will help you in the future..."

"It's easy to say..."Chen Cao nodded happily: "Whether Mu Qilin can become the next Duke of Qianguo depends on his actions and creation, I can only help him behind my back." ”

Pu Xiang nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head and said, "Brother understands, I will definitely tell him when I go back, Jingshi, I hope you will help." ”

"Little brother knows, knows..."Chen Cao nodded again and again.

Just when Chen Cao was about to serve tea to the guests, Pu Xiang became mysterious again, bowed his head and said to Chen Cao: "Brother, because my brother knows your preferences, I specially sent someone from Suzhou and Hangzhou to find you, and found you a beautiful woman with good timbre, not to mention anything else, this is a piece of my brother's heart, you must accept it." ”

Chen Cao hurriedly shook his head: "Forget it, don't you know, my wife's wife was talking to me about this matter during that time, and now Shen Zhuangling's redemption document is in my hand again, and my little brother will have to worry about how to explain to my family later..."

"Haha..."Pu Xiang laughed when he heard this, and then said: "I almost forgot, I heard that my brother wants to protect Shen Zhuangling's daughter?" ”

Chen Cao nodded: "Shen Lingmin is what I promised Shen Zhuangling, Brother Pu has to take care of this matter and handle it as soon as possible, otherwise..."

Mu Qiyuan's lust is a well-known thing in Yunnan.

Pu Xiang nodded: "I know, I'll do this after I leave." ”

Chen Cao stood up and arched his hand: "Then it's bothering Brother Pu..."

Pu Xiang was interested, knowing that Chen Cao was sending off guests, so he also stood up and gave his hand, and finally turned around and left after a few polite words.

"Uncle..."Zhang Fengnian personally saw Pu Xiang away, turned to Chen Cao and said, "The Marquis of Jinshan left the woman he brought outside the mansion gate. ”

"Huh?" Chen Cao thought about it, thinking that it was not good for someone to be outside the door, Li Xiang and a group of female dependents were strolling around and flying kites on the edge of their fields, and it was not good to come back and see it, so he raised his feet and went out: "This guy, forget it, I'll take a look, you go get some money, and send them away later." ”
