Chapter Eighty-Nine: I'm an Ordinary Person
At nine o'clock in the morning, the wind and snow gradually subsided.
Xia Yuan sat at the stone table in the courtyard and blew the foam on the tea, he can now experience the pleasure of drinking tea more and more, and the specific way is to add sugar.
Especially in such weather, a cup of sweet hot tea is warm.
Hearing the creaking footsteps of the snow in the yard, with the meaning of wind and fire, Xia Yuan didn't need to look up to know who was coming.
"Your senior brother is not here today, so I will take a day off."
"Take a break?"
"Ang, he's going home to visit....." Xia Yuan raised his eyes, only then did he see that this kid had obvious resentment on his face, and couldn't help but say, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Don't mention it."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, his face was still angry, and he sat down on the chair next to Xia Yuan, "Master, do you know the news that the army is going to return to the court?" ”
"What army? Where did the army come from? ”
"It's the one led by Zhu Hui, the Duke of Baoguo."
"Oh, I don't know."
"Did you know that a few months ago the Tatars were on the side?"
"This... I know. After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Yuan quickly had an impression, remembering that he had just crossed over at that time, and when he came to the capital to wander around with curiosity, he did hear someone talking about the news of the Tatar offense.
"A few months ago, the Tatars committed the border, and Zhu Hui, the protector of the country, took tens of thousands of people to the expedition, and as a result, heh, the incompetent rats, went out for a few months, and the credit of the fart was gone, and the Tatars were allowed to go straight into the pass, which is really hateful!
What's even more odious is that I.... Now the emperor does not punish the crime, and even gives more than 200 people a reward. ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao has already gritted his teeth, Baoguo Gong's dog thing, how enviable it is to go out with a large army, but he came back with such a record.
If this palace is the commander of the army this time, it must have been sealed at this time.
"Master, you say, is the emperor a faint monarch today?"
“.......”
Xia Yuan was silent, you and I will discuss such a terrible topic?
I had long expected that this unlucky child would one day pit the master, but I didn't expect this day to come so quickly.
Taking a deep breath, Xia Yuanqiang smiled a little, "In this way, if you go out and turn right now, you will see an alley after walking dozens of steps, you go in along the alley, and you can see a crossroads through the alley, there are many people there, and there will definitely be people willing to discuss this topic with you." ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look in the direction of the courtyard gate, and said with some astonishment: "There are some people on the street, how can I go and tell them this?" will scare them. ”
“???”
I'm special!
Xia Yuan almost got up from the case, and then a big force fan passed.
He's the prince, he's the prince....
Silently reminding him of the identity of this product in his heart, Xia Yuan finally suppressed the urge to fan him in the face of a big fight, and took several deep breaths in a row, and then he asked calmly: "Then have you ever thought about such a possibility, that is... I'm actually an ordinary person, too? ”
Zhu Houzhao was stunned, this question may have touched his soul.
After thinking about it, he said: "How can the master be an ordinary person, you are a master who is hidden in the city." ”
Xia Yuan was right when he thought about it, he was a master who was hidden in the city, a tall fart!
"Okay, you're here today to talk to me about this?"
"Of course not, I'm here to practice."
"Oh, then you can go back now, and take a day off today."
"Why are classes suspended?"
"Because your senior brother is not here, he went home to find his father, you can also go home to find your father, and then discuss with him the question you just asked, and the teacher thinks that your father will definitely be happy to answer you."
Zhu Houzhao was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "I asked." ”
In fact, as soon as he learned the news of this reward, he ran to Emperor Hongzhi and honked him, ready to wake up this faint king.
As a result, he was kicked out as soon as he said a few words, and that's not all, the faint gentleman also extorted most of his remaining half of the walnuts.
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had paid a lot for Jiangshan Sheji, not only hard work, but also silver.
Application: If two walnuts can be exchanged for a house, how much silver is half a frame of walnuts worth?
————————————————————
In the warm pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, Xiao Jing is also facing this arithmetic problem.
Two days ago, the dozen walnuts given by Emperor Hongzhi were accepted by him with tears, and he took out a part of the money he had saved over the years, and a walnut was worth three hundred taels, totaling more than five thousand taels.
Father-in-law Xiao also kept an eye on it, and only sent the silver over two days later, so as to create the illusion that he had sent someone to the market to sell walnuts.
For these white flowers, Emperor Hongzhi accepted them unceremoniously, and then ordered someone to carry out the large half of the box of walnuts, and instructed Xiao Banban to take these and sell them, as usual, three hundred taels a piece, and count you more.
Looking at the large half of the frame of walnuts, Xiao Jing felt that his head was confused for a while, three hundred taels each, and there are hundreds here.
Isn't this more than 30,000 taels?
Zhu Youzhu just leaned on the brocade and silently flipped through the book, the atmosphere in the hall was a little silent for a while, and after a while, he turned his head to look at Xiao Jing, and asked a little puzzled: "Xiao Companion, why are you not as happy as last time, but this walnut is not easy to sell now?" “
Xiao Jing hesitated, bowed down and said: "The slave and maid dare not deceive the emperor, there are too many walnuts, it is indeed not easy to sell, and the slave and maid will definitely not find so many buyers for a while." ”
"Oh..."
Zhu Youzhu bowed slightly, and continued to flip the book in silence, just flipping through the pages but suddenly a sentence popped up,
"Is it because you can't find a buyer, or is it because you haven't collected enough filial piety over the years to buy these walnuts?"
