Chapter Twenty-Four: Upside Down Money

Happy, what to do happy, although he was just kissed on the cheek, Zhuang Xun still felt very excited, and the whole person looked radiant, and the next day he began to step on the street with the pace of new learning.

Because of the collection of national salvation tax, the merchants did not dare to come to Yindu, Zhuang Xun was not good at making extra money, and he resigned from the position of the pawnshop bookkeeper, and now he is still quite poor.

also deserved it, refused to send money to the concubine, Si Qinmi's mother was buried in Antai County, and it was not easy to take the money left behind for a while.

So I originally wanted to buy some clothes for Si Qinmi, but now I have some money left, and I can only look at the beautiful clothes from afar.

"Lang Jun wants to buy some new clothes?" accompanied Zhuang Xun, holding his arm, looking intimate, there was no way that his husband would not spoil him a little.

"I want to buy you some new clothes, I want to see you dressed in beautiful clothes." Zhuang Xun confessed that he himself has no pursuit of clothes, but he is a visual animal.

"I feel like you look good in whatever you wear, lady, and I want to see you wear beautiful clothes." Zhuang Xun thought about Siqin Mi's appearance in gorgeous clothes, and when she thought about it, she looked very beautiful, so she had the urge to pay for her clothes.

"How can you have so much money, go buy some food first." When Si Qinmi heard that it was for her, she immediately refused, her desire for material desires was very low.

"There will be money in the future...... Forget it, that's not a joke. Zhuang Xun swallowed the words into his stomach, and could only walk through the tailor shop with Si Qinmi.

"Lang Jun, go to the teahouse and sit down, and listen to the direction of your reputation." I walked two steps and came to a teahouse, where people were sitting in twos and threes.

"I'll be the wind when I go in, let's go home after shopping." Zhuang Xun has a good habit of not watching the excitement.

"I still have to listen to it, after all, we don't have any sources now, and the teahouse is not expensive, but the information circulation is the most, if you can get some information, you can get some information, if there is no abnormality, then go to buy, if there is an abnormality, adjust it in time, and say that Yin is so big, how can everyone know Lang Jun." Siqin Mi tried to convince Zhuang Xun.

"That's not for sure, Quan Yin ran around before, and many people knew me." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said that in order to bury Si Qinmi, he had traveled to a lot of places, and there were many people who knew him.

He doesn't want to be a monkey onlooker, after being handpicked by the emperor the day before yesterday, his popularity should still be very high today, and it's not fun to be asked.

"What about understanding, Lang Jun should get used to living like this......" Si Qinmi continued to persuade.

It's just that the couple is still debating, and the uninvited guest has appeared.

"Zhuang Xiaolian is also here to listen to the story?" He Jung, who was dressed as a scribe, took the initiative to greet the husband and wife who stopped in front of the teahouse.

"Yes!" Although Zhuang Xun's opinion is different from that of Si Qinmi, he must remain concentric in front of outsiders.

"Take your wife to play, your wife Wei, this is He Xiucai from Antai County." Zhuang Xun said.

"Hello Mrs. Xiaolian." He Jungs hugged his hands and said hello, although he was very surprised when he saw Si Qinmi's appearance, he didn't show it.

Siqin Mi let go of Zhuang Xun's arm, bowed her head slightly, and said hello in response, took a step back, and followed Zhuang Xun obediently.

"It just so happens that the private room on the second floor has been decided, and the filial piety couple are willing to enjoy the light?" He Jung's invitation said.

"I don't want to trouble Xiucai." Zhuang Xun's first reaction was to feel troublesome, he was not the kind of character who particularly liked to chat with people, and he didn't want to talk about this kind of role with a purpose.

"What's the trouble, it is He's honor to invite filial piety, and I hope filial piety will be appreciated." He Junghe stretched out his hand and invited.

"Okay, it's a hassle show." However, he said that he wanted to listen to the story, and there was no reason to refuse, so Zhuang Xun agreed.

He also wanted to see what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, and what his purpose was.

Walking up to the second floor, He Xiucai ordered some pastries, Zhuang Xun didn't have much appetite, He Xiucai was not in a hurry to say, and introduced to Zhuang Xun how delicious the pastries were.

But Zhuang asked him not to care at all, because his blood pressure went up from listening to books.

"The protagonist I want to talk about today is Zhuang Xiaolian, Zhuang Xun, who has recently become famous, affectionate and righteous." With the storyteller stunned.

"Zhuang Xun, the hometown is rumored to be the mysterious island of Penglai in the East China Sea, proficient in arithmetic, swept into the storm, came to Yuguo, Penglai Island people are short-haired and short-dressed, resembling monks, with strange postures, at a glance by the then Zhenguo Duchess Si Qinmi, for him to settle down, often visit ......"

"One is the Duchess of the Kingdom, the other is a benevolent and righteous gentleman, in the contact, the woman is beautiful and golden, the man is virtuous and trustworthy, the two have cherished each other, and gradually spawned affection, but they stopped at courtesy......"

"The two of them walked through the spring outing, Zhuang Xun picked flowers for Siqin Mi, praised her for being more delicate than flowers, inscribed a poem, and said that the spring outing was ......"

“…… In June, the two sides gave poems, and the Duchess said: The bright moon worries according to my heart...... Zhuang Xun said: How close is the sun wheel shining ......"

"In July, Siqin Shengjing surrendered, the whole country was in an uproar, the whole family hid, leaving Siqin Mi alone in Yindu, the emperor was furious, and ordered all the relevant personnel to be beheaded, Zhenguo Mansion decided to cut Siqin Mi, and temporarily detained to the side room, Zhuang Xun heard that he sneaked into the side room of Zhenguo Mansion at night, and Siqin Mi complained to each other......"

"Lang's love for concubines is like dry wood and fire, and the partial house seems to have a strong sense of spring......"

"Zhen Guogong got up in the middle of the night, and unfortunately saw that the Duchess of Guo was actually under someone else......"

"The painful Zhenguo Gong wrote a letter of resignation, and broke off with Siqin Mi, but it fulfilled this pair of hard-working mandarin ducks......"

"Zhuang Xun saw that his lover was suffering and grieved, but he could only say goodbye, he was a benevolent and righteous gentleman, knowing that the emperor's fate was difficult, and he endured the pain for Si Qinmi's superior daughter Hong, hoping that she would go easily......"

"The tears are very reluctant, but the order is like the water that bursts the embankment, and it is difficult to block the ......"

"The Zhenguo Mansion has already cut off the table with Siqin Mi, how can Zhuang ask him to sit back and watch his lover's body exposed in the city......"

“…… It is precisely the letter of resignation of Zhenguo Gong that gives Zhuang Xun the opportunity to marry Siqin Mi, so that the lover has a reputation......"

"Although people can't get married, yin and yang are separated but they marry each other, which touches the heavens and the earth."

At the end of the story, what kind of devilish rich woman fell in love with my bad plot, the parties' Zhuang Xun's faces were green, and someone in the audience pointed out the loopholes.

"I heard that Zhuang Xiaolian married a new wife, and even refused the silver and concubines sent by others for her, isn't he in love with Si Qinmi?"

"Buried Siqin Mi, Zhuang Xun was already weak, at this time the displaced people from Xihe County Wei rescued Zhuang Xun, Siqin Mi asked Zhuang Xun to dream, let him live well in the yang, marry a wife, let her rest assured, Zhuang Xun was grateful for Wei's help, so he married Si Qin Mi's grave, so Zhuang Xun has two wives, one yin and one yang."

The storyteller had been prepared for a long time, and said it seriously, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

It's just that it's not bold enough to write about Siqin Mi's resurrection from the dead.

“……”

The discussion in the teahouse has become louder, and this kind of exciting story really satisfies the fantasies of the people at the bottom.

Zhuang Xun wanted to ask the storyteller why he made a yellow rumor about him and Si Qinmi, but he turned his head to look at Si Qinmi, but the result was right, he really married Si Qinmi.

"The story is interesting, but it can only be described as the fantasy of the ignorant." He Jung's comment on this storytelling said.

The princess and the talented poor boy, the topic is naturally hot and moral, inciting people to pursue the stimulation of taboos, which is actually impossible.

"The Duchess of Guo is at least five or six maids every day, where can there be an opportunity to have a private meeting with people, let alone sneak into the Zhenguo Mansion." He Jungsan shook his head and made his position clear first, he didn't believe this rumor.

"So how could you think of having an affair with the princess?" Zhuang Xun already wanted to go down and ask the storyteller to compensate him for the loss of his reputation.

"Rumors stop at the wise, filial piety doesn't have to think about it, Your Majesty can still tell whether this is a rumor or not." He Jung's comforted Zhuang Xun and said.

"Of course, I know that rumors stop at the wise, but the people have passed away, and they have ruined people's reputation!" Zhuang Xun looked at Siqin Mi, why was he not angry when his wife's reputation was damaged.

Siqin Mi smiled slightly, her face was light and unangry, as if the protagonist had nothing to do with her.

"Filial piety really values kindness, Jungsan admires it, replaces wine with tea, and Jungsan respects filial piety with a cup." He Jung's teacup was raised.

Zhuang Xun also picked up the teacup and was about to drink it, when Si Qinmi kicked his calf twice, Zhuang Xun took a sip lightly, and the tea touched his lips.

Don't eat and drink things from unfamiliar people, the meaning of Siqin Mi's eyes.

"Filial piety is now a saint, have you ever thought about where to be an official?" He Jung's paving for a long time finally got to the point.

"I didn't think about it." This is not something that he can choose, he has already chosen a place as his inheritance.

Si Qinmi planned, if you can think about it, she will naturally appear as a county guard, and it can be clearly seen that Dayu has reached the end of the dynasty, and at this time, the place is more able to display its talents than the constraints of the imperial court.

"Besides, I have to take the school inquiry today, and I don't know how to answer the inquiry, and I am afraid that I will lose my holy favor." Zhuang inquired about half-truths and half-truths.

Siqin Mi gave the template back, but he was not familiar with it.

"If filial piety is in need, Jungsman here has some strategies that can help filial piety solve some directional problems." He Jungjun took the initiative to say.

"No need, thank you Xiucai for having a heart." Zhuang Xun shook his head and said that he didn't want to owe favors to others, and he had to pay back the favors.

"Filial piety, doesn't he already have staff allegiance?" He Jungs said in surprise.

"Not really." It's hard to raise myself now, and I still want to support my staff.

"What does Xiaolian think of He?" He Jung's hands pointed inward to himself and said.

“……”

"Xiucai wants to be a staff member for inquiry?" Zhuang Xun reacted halfway, and said in a puzzled tone.

"I don't know if filial piety is willing to take it in." He Jung's face admitted, and his expression became extremely serious, and he sat upright.

"Why? Although the question was lucky to be ordered by today, it may not be able to pass the examination school of today, nor may it be able to serve in the local government, whether Xiucai is too early to consider. Zhuang Xun felt a little magical, his position had not yet been finalized, so someone came to the door to be his subordinate.

"It's not early, I learned that Xiaolian has a holy family, so I want to marry a daughter and give a dowry, and it's too late to recommend myself." He Jungsan humbly said, more respectful than last time, as if it was the effect of this holy family.

"Whether it is the court or the locality, Xiaolian always has to polish the text for you, publish articles, and write books for you, isn't it? Filial piety can be tested Jung's talent, and if it is suitable, it will be hired, and if it is not suitable, it will be abandoned. He went on to explain, looking serious.

"Xiucai is so optimistic about the inquiry, and the inquiry is very honored, but the inquiry is poor at this time, and it is difficult to buy new clothes for the family, so how can I support Xiucai." Zhuang Xun thought about it or refused to say that first, he really couldn't afford it, and second, the second time he met, he didn't even know what He Jung's bottom was.

"Filial piety is so difficult at the moment, even refusing to be recruited by large households, as long as you agree, glory and wealth are close at hand, filial piety is not moved, it is really noble virtue, and it lives up to the name of filial piety." Jungsan praised him.

"......" Zhuang Xun didn't want to speak.

Would you say that you already have some regrets?

"So I really can't afford to hire staff, but it's a waste of show talent." Zhuang Xun said directly, rejecting He Jung's allegiance.

"How does filial piety look at Yu Guo?" Lowered his voice and whispered close to Zhuang Xun.

"The politics are clear, the people are simple, each performs its own duties, and each abides by its own business." If the country is not a country, let's say it to my wife, and outsiders naturally still have to say that it is stable and orderly, and it is good in stability.

"May I ask where filial piety is, in the court or in the place." He Jung's answer to Zhuang Xun was a little stunned, but he quickly smiled and continued to ask.

"I want to benefit the people of Li, but it is all decided by the Holy Ministers, and I can only obey the needs of the country and do my part for the country."

"Junglian too, like-minded with Xiaolian, willing to help Xiaolian, Xiaolian will accept Junglian as an eagle dog." Jungsan pleaded.

"Xun is really poor and can't afford to support Xiucai." Zhuang Xun was sure that the other party understood his words, but the practical difficulty was that no matter how smooth he was after the longevity banquet, he had no power, no money, only fame at this moment.

That's why Siqin Mi will pity the 10,000 taels sent to the door, how much can be done.

And because he refused the 10,000 taels with righteous words, now everyone else knows that he doesn't admire talent and doesn't dare to send him anything.

"Just ask for filial piety to take it in, and there is a little money in the next family." He Junghe said.

"Okay, then I won't shirk the inquiry, but I'm afraid to live up to Xiucai's expectations." was lightly kicked by Si Qinmi, and Zhuang Xun agreed.

One kick is agree, two kicks are against.

"He Jung's benefactor has been met!" Zhuang Xun agreed, and He Jung's had already stood up and bowed.

"Xiucai, please get up quickly, you can't deserve this kind of gift, others can't see it well." Zhuang Xun hurriedly helped He Jung.

"Jungsan understands that there are many people here, and the storytelling here has ended, and tomorrow, Jungshire will visit again to plan a birthday banquet for the benefactor." He Junghe looked around and took the initiative to say.

"Looking forward to the show's arrival, our couple also have to prepare some daily necessities, don't pass it for the time being." Zhuang Xun could only respond politely and said goodbye at the same time.

"Benefactor, you are stuck at the moment, be careful, please do not shirk, Jungmy farewell." He Junghe didn't entangle, took out seven or eight taels of silver, stuffed them into Zhuang Xun's hand, and strode away.

"Does he pay for work?" Zhuang Xun grabbed the broken silver he had received and turned his head to look at Si Qinmi.

"Lang Jun, take it, since he recognizes you as the Lord, this is also his heart." Siqin Mi looked at Zhuang Xun's tangled appearance and persuaded him.

"This kind of thing is not unusual, for the official, all kinds of refuge are available, don't be unusual, he sees that you are a strange goods to live in, can be used and can not be used, can be collected and can not be collected, before you don't promise anything is afraid that you should not accept it, this kind of smart people take refuge but it is needed, you and I can't do all the work alone, it is necessary for subordinates to do things, so there is no need to resist, just know people and make good use of them." Professor Siqin Mi Zhuang Xun said.
