(Please search, or enter directly to see the latest chapter) but the villain envies Han Ye you, a kung fu fame shocked Bianjing far and wide, the little one dreams of becoming a person like Han Ye, majestic and no one dares to plunder its edge. ”

Jiang Xia's sycophants were thrown to Han Yu one after another, and Han Yu smiled happily. Han Yu walked over and patted Jiang Xia on the shoulder and said, "Your kid is a talent, don't worry, I will take good care of you in the Qunfang Pavilion in the future, and I will not let your kid be bullied in any way." ”

"Thank you, Brother Han. Jiang Xia said with a touched face.

It's just a few words, and Jiang Xia's title for Han Yu has changed from "Han Ye" to "Brother Han". Han Yu also nodded and called back, "Brother Jiang." ”

"Okay, Brother Jiang, let's not let Mother Kang wait in a hurry. Han Yu said.

"Good. ”

Jiang Xia followed Han Yu to a "light smoke house", and light smoke was the name of Kang's mother. It is said that when Kang's mother was young, she was a famous Oiran in the Shuntian Mansion, and later she got married to a high-ranking nobleman, and then opened this Qunfang Pavilion after redeeming herself.

Listening to the name Kang Qingyan does have the feeling of a peerless beauty, but in fact, Kang's mother, who is almost fifty years old, has long since lost her appearance because of ordinary people drinking alcohol.

Han Yu stood at the door and knocked on the door, and Mother Kang's voice came from inside: "Come in." ”

Han Yu pushed open the door and walked in with Jiang Xia.

The Light Smoke Pavilion is very spacious, and the interior decoration is also very gorgeous. After Han Yu walked in with Jiang Xia, he stayed in the living room, and from the boudoir next to the study, Kang's mother's voice came: "You two sit down first, and I'll be fine right away." ”

After a while, Kang's mother walked out. She is wearing a long skirt embroidered by Suzhou, and because she is tall, she can give people a plump and round feeling despite her age. The long plate is very exaggerated, and there are all kinds of ornaments on the plate, gold and jade. Perhaps because of her middle age, the flesh on Kang's mother's face began to sag, and even though she was coated with thick rouge gouache, it was difficult to hide the spots on her face.

"Yo, what are you doing standing? Sit. Kang's mother said to Han Yu and Jiang Xia.

Han Yu shook his head and said, "No, Mother Kang, I have to explain something to my subordinates in a while, so I have to go first." After speaking, Han Yu glanced at Jiang Xia, and then leaned into Kang's mother's ear and whispered a few words.

While Han Yu spoke, Mother Kang glanced at Jiang Xia a few times, and then her eyes lit up slightly.

After Han Yu finished speaking, Kang's mother nodded, and Han Yu glanced at Jiang Xia again and gave him an encouraging look. Jiang Xia knew that Han Yu must have said good things for himself in Kang's mother's ear, so he nodded slightly and gave him a grateful look.

Han Yu exited the room after speaking, and at this moment, Kang's mother looked Jiang Xia up and down.

Being looked at like this by an old woman, Jiang Xia felt very unaccustomed, but he could only endure it, after all, the shape was stronger than the human.

After looking at it for a while, Mother Kang said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I didn't show up for the hidden talent of such a dignified person in my Qunfang Pavilion, if it weren't for Zhao Gongzi telling me that you are very clever, I'm afraid you will really make the pearl dusty, it's really a pity." Listen to Han Yu say Jiang Xia, you know how to read and break words?"

Jiang Xia nodded: "When I was a child, I learned some of the Four Books and Five Classics, and I know how to order them." ”

Jiang Xia is definitely modest in this sentence, as the youngest head in the history of Qianmen, he definitely doesn't just say that he has a flexible mind and can say that he can deceive. Jiangxia's accumulation of knowledge is far from ordinary people, and it is by no means comparable to ordinary people.

"Good. Mother Kang got up and walked to the study to get a few books, and then put them in front of Jiang Xia. Jiang Xia glanced at it, and now Kang's mother brought a few account books, and Kang's mother said, "You help me look at these account books to see if I can see what is famous." ”

"Good. Jiang Xia picked up an account book and began to look through it, he looked at it quickly, and finally closed the account book and said, "Mother Kang, this is April's account." In April, a total of 3,220,672 yuan was earned, 1,080 taels of 500 yuan was expended, and the net profit was 2,202,202 yuan of single 172 yuan. But "

"But what?" said Kang's mother, with a stunned expression. Although she can also do arithmetic, but in an account book, she has to hold the abacus for a long time to calculate it clearly, but she never thought that Jiang Xia just took a cursory glance and calculated the gross profit expenditure and net profit.

Hearing Jiang Xia say "but", Kang's mother was even more surprised, thinking that this kid wouldn't still see anything wrong in the accounts, so she hurriedly asked.

Jiang Xia really opened the account book and pointed to one of the pages and said, "Mother Kang, look, it is written here that on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, a hundred new quilts and bedding were purchased, and three hundred and eighty taels were spent. But the best quilt in Shuntian Mansion is only more than two taels, and the owner of the store will give a part of the bedding when buying a hundred beds of high-quality quilts, and it is a bit unreasonable to use up three hundred and eighty taels here. ”

"This" Kang's mother took a look at it and immediately became angry. She slapped the table and stood up: "He Chaoxi, I trust you so much, I didn't expect you to dare to fill your pockets." ”

Mother Kang opened the door and shouted, "Someone!"

Soon two burly men in strong clothes ran over from the fourth floor, these two were thugs in the Qunfang Pavilion, and Mother Kang shouted: "Go, bring He Chaoxi to me immediately." ”

He Chaoxi is the old turtle in Qunfang Pavilion, because he has been doing it for a long time, he has won the trust of Kang's mother, and He Chaoxi is responsible for the procurement of large and small items in Qunfang Pavilion.

The two thugs immediately went to find He Chaoxi after answering "yes", and someone brought them over after a while.

As soon as she entered the house, Kang's mother slapped the table and shouted: "He Chaoxi, you are so bold, you even dare to lie to me." ”

She took the two account books on the table and handed them to He Chaoxi and said, "The accounts for April and May, the things you went to buy are much more expensive than the most expensive ones on the market, what do you tell me?"

He Chaoxi was slightly stunned, and suddenly trembled with fright, and he raised his head tremblingly to look at Mother Kang. The evidence is like a mountain, and now he can't help but quibble, He Chaoxi continued to kowtow to Kang's mother after howling: "Kang's mother, I was wrong, I was wrong, I don't dare anymore, you spare me this time, spare me this time."

As soon as Mother Kang saw He Chaoxi admit it, she immediately opened her mouth and ordered, "Drag it down, break one of his legs first." ”

"Yes!" The two thugs dragged He Chaoxi out of the door, and He Chaoxi shouted loudly: "Mother Kang, spare your life, spare your life" The voice became farther and farther away until it disappeared.

After He Chaoxi's matter was resolved, Mother Kang looked at Jiang Xia again, this time there was no trace of appreciation in her eyes, and Jiang Xia couldn't help but get goosebumps when she saw that straight eyes.

Kang's mother actually didn't expect that she just wanted to test this Jiang Xia, but Jiang Xia found that there were so many problems in the accounts. Kang's mother said: "Jiang Xia, I see that you are a talent, and I have wronged you as a servant in Qunfang Pavilion. Now Qunfang Pavilion happens to lack a study Mr.,Why don't you try it first?At the beginning, the monthly example is three taels.,If you do well, you can also add.,There are dividends at the end of the year.。 ”

When Jiang Xia heard this, he secretly calculated in his heart, this is equivalent to a sixfold increase in the original salary base. According to the monthly example, it won't be long before you can redeem yourself.

How could there be no reason not to agree to such a good thing, Jiang Xia immediately bowed down and saluted: "Xie Kang's mother is very kind, Jiang Xia must do his best to live up to his mission,"

"Good. Kang's mother said with a smile: "You have merit in what happened just now, I have to reward you, and I will go to the account office to receive a reward of five taels of silver in a while, and I will say that I said it." ”

Jiang Xia was even happier, what he lacked now was silver, so he didn't shirk it, and immediately responded: "Xie Kang's mother rewards." ”

Coming out of Kang's mother's room, Jiang Xia walked out of Qunfang Pavilion to buy some wine and food to bring back to Han Yu, thanking him for his kind words. The so-called exchange of courtesies and friendships is based on mutual help and mutual giving.

Suncheonfu. The southwest bank of the Taiye Pond in Xiyuan in the Imperial City, near the Xihua Gate. This is the political center and military headquarters of Emperor Zhu Houzhao during the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, and the leopard room.

The new house of the leopard house was built in the second year of Zhengde, and more than 200 houses were added to Zhengde in five years, costing more than 240,000 taels of silver. In fact, the new house of the leopard house is not a place to raise leopards, and it is not a simple palace in the general sense, it is actually a place where Zhu Houzhao lives and deals with the government, and the new house of the leopard house has many secret rooms, like a labyrinth, and there are school fields, Buddhist temples, etc.

For example, the pavilion where Zhao Zhu Houzhao is sitting at this moment is built on a huge strange stone that was transported from Taihu Lake to dismantle water gates, bridges, and city walls. Sitting in the pavilion and looking around, the more than 200 houses in the entire leopard house were all taken in by Zhu Houzhao. He took a deep breath and made a strange gesture that looked like a sleeping laughing Arhat.

After doing it for a while, Zhu Houzhao shook his head, picked up a book on the ground, flipped through it, and said: "It's a pity, this Imperial Maiden Heart Sutra Eighteen Styles, I only got these four styles all over the world, pulling onions on dry land, Guanyin sitting on lotus, old man pushing carts, and lying on the moon, what the fourteen styles look like in the back I really want to see it." ”

Zhang Yong, who was watching from the sidelines, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this "Imperial Maiden's Heart Sutra" is the pinnacle of the art in the room, the original ancient book has long been lost, and the emperor is already a blessed person who can find the four styles, and it is useless to force it." Why don't you practice here for the time being today, let the slave maid arrange it, and go to Qunfang Pavilion today to listen to the poetry girl soothing the qin and singing?"

"Poetry girl?" Zhu Houzhao was obviously in good spirits after hearing this, nodded and said, "Great, call Liu Jin together." ”

Zhang Yong couldn't help frowning violently when he heard that Zhu Houzhao was about to call Liu Jin, and said in his heart that if Liu Jin, a person who is proficient in shaving and shooting horses, was brought in, how would our family please the emperor? Zhang Yong thought about it and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it seems that Gonggong Liu has gone to Jiangxi with Lord Wang a few days ago, and now I am afraid that he is not in Shuntian Mansion." ”

This Zhang Yong is also an extremely smart person, in fact, he clearly knows that Liu Jin is still in Shuntian Mansion and has not left. But he didn't want Liu Jin to go with him, so his words were ambiguous, using uncertain words such as "like" and "I'm afraid", so that even if Zhu Houzhao knew that Liu Jin hadn't left Beijing at this time in the future, he wouldn't blame himself, after all, people didn't say that he must not be in Shuntian Mansion, right?

"Oh, yes. Liu Jin said that he was going to Jiangxi to bring me back a few beautiful musicians, and now I am afraid that he has really left Beijing. Whether it's okay or not, then it's up to you and me to go today. You go down and prepare first, let's leave the palace at the end of the time. ”

"Yes. The slave and maid retired. Zhang Yong replied and stepped back.

Zhu Houzhao continued to look at the four-style maiden heart sutra, with these four-style maiden heart sutra, he could control the seven maidens at night, which shows that this is indeed a divine book. After Zhu Hou looked at it for a while, he had to sigh and shake his head and walk down from the pavilion.
