Chapter 14 Work from Home
In the early morning of the next day, Wen Chen finished washing up and was about to go to the East Factory.
pushed the door, but saw that Du Lun and the little noble son were already waiting outside the door.
"Yo! Master Du, why bother you to move here personally? Wen Chen's expression was slightly exaggerated.
Such dilapidated alleys are generally the residences of the lower people, and Duren, as a eunuch of Bingbi, has already had a rank and has his own mansion in the inner city, so it is generally unlikely to appear in such a place.
Eunuch Du smiled and waved his hand at the little nobleman behind him, "Father-in-law Wen, our family is here to send you the volume book recorded by yesterday's Dongchang Fan Battle, so you don't have to run again." ”
It was time for Xiao Guizi to take out three half-inch-thick booklets from his arms and respectfully hand them to Wen Chen.
Wen Chen took the scroll and looked at it a few times, and laughed, "Lord Du is really careful, this kind of thing of summarizing intelligence should have been done by the small one, but I didn't expect that Lord Du had already sorted it out, which made the little one a little flattered!" ”
He also didn't expect that Du Lun would not even let himself contact the news of the incident on weekdays.
The events recorded in these compiled volumes have basically been removed from the news that is unfavorable to Dongchang and its vassal officials, and the rest are all inconsequential things, and there may even be some false news that deliberately discredits opposing officials.
To be honest, it's not worth looking it up.
Du Lun smiled and waved his hand, "Grandpa Wen doesn't have to be polite, this official and Grandpa Wen are both doing things for His Majesty, so naturally they have to do their best, Grandpa Wen is busy with official business, and this official must also know some current affairs, and it is not enough to worry about trivial matters!" ”
"These days, just wronged Father-in-law Wen will be here to do the business, don't waste time to go to the East Factory, after a few days, when the things in the hands of the official are done, then write to Your Majesty, find a satisfactory house for Father-in-law Wen!"
Wen Chen smiled meaningfully and walked up to Du Lun, "Lord Du, is this considered a small one?" ”
The little nobleman on the side changed his face slightly, and hurriedly lowered his head.
"Don't dare, don't dare, where is Grandpa Wen, this official is just a good intention, if Grandpa Wen understands it this way, this official is very wronged!"
Wen Chen smiled without saying a word, and nodded slightly.
Du Lun also took the opportunity to say goodbye, saying that the East Factory still has official business to be busy.
"Little Guizi, you stay, our family has something to look for you." Wen Chen beckoned to the little eunuch who was also leaving.
Xiao Guizi glanced at Du Lun hesitantly, saw him nod slightly, changed his smile in an instant, and followed Wen Chen into the courtyard.
"What do you command?"
Wen Chen took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
"According to the objects and quantities recorded above, go to the city to buy them."
Xiao Guizi was stunned for a moment, looked down at the paper, and said silently:
"Twenty two-inch high white porcelain bottles, three clay pots with a diameter of half a foot, three iron pipes, ten pieces of fine silk cloth, a basket of oranges, and two jars of spirits......"
"The more frankincense, the better?!"
"What does Shangguan want these things for?" Xiao Guizi wondered.
Wen Chen snorted, "You don't understand it, you just have to buy it." ”
Xiao Guizi answered, but still had no intention of moving.
"What? Weak legs? Wen Chen glanced at him, his eyes full of smiles.
Xiao Guizi said with a smile, "Shangguan, buying things is a trivial matter, but the money to buy things is ......."
"You also know that other items are okay to say, frankincense is so precious, and Shangguan asks for as much as possible, and the small ones really can't afford to pay so much silver."
"Advance?" Wen Chen raised his eyebrows, "Who told you that this is an advance payment?" ”
Xiao Guizi's face was happy, "What does Shangguan mean ......?" ”
"Filial piety!" Wen Chen stood up, patted Xiao Guizi on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "Do you know why you are all this age, and you are just a miscellaneous subordinate?" ”
"Little ......"
"Just because you don't know how to read words and looks!" Wen Chen directly interrupted, "Do you know how many big people in the court are fighting to give gifts to the master, but the master won't accept it, you kid has this opportunity today, you should take advantage of it!" ”
"Huh? But the small one really can't take out so much, and the small one is only five taels of silver a month......"
Wen Chen pinched his neck, "You can't say that, there are always more ways than difficulties, whether you have a chance to climb up depends on whether you can solve Shangguan's difficulties!" ”
Xiao Guizi scratched his head, and finally nodded with difficulty.
"Try the little ones......"
Wen Chen smiled with satisfaction, waved his hand, and motioned for the little nobleman to go to do something.
Just as the little noble son was about to go out of the gate, he heard another command from the courtyard.
"Don't close the door."
"Shangguan has a guest?"
Wen Chen shook his head, "The master is not waiting for a guest. ”
"That's?" The little nobleman was puzzled.
Wen Chen glanced at him and said meaningfully, "Let the bad atmosphere of society blow in......
The little nobleman was stunned, as if he understood something, and bowed to leave.
At the mouth of the alley, Du Lun, who had left earlier, looked at the paper handed over by Xiao Guizi with an expressionless face.
"What does he want these things for?"
"Adult, small guess, Gonggong Wen wants to use the topic to play ......"
"He wants silver?" Duren raised an eyebrow.
Xiao Guizi nodded yes, "Before the little one left, Gonggong Wen also deliberately hinted at the small one. ”
"How?"
"He didn't let the small ones lead the door, saying that he wanted to let the bad atmosphere of society blow into the yard."
"It's really silver." Duren snorted, "Our family looked down on you before......"
"My lord, what now?" Xiao Guizi asked softly.
Du Lun smiled confidently and turned around with his back, "You buy things for this Gonggong Wen first, and when you come back, tell him that this official will set up a banquet in Qingfeng Building in the evening to see if he goes or not." ”
"Yes!"
In the small courtyard, Wen Chen hid in the shade of a tree, looking at the roll book that Du Lun had brought, his expression was very relaxed, as if he was reading a novel.
On the first day of the seventh month, at one o'clock in the morning, Li Huainong, a cabinet scholar, talked with a frivolous woman at the mouth of the osmanthus alley in the inner city.
On the first day of the seventh month, at three o'clock in the unitary hour, there was a commotion in the house of Jin Dong, the left servant of the household department, after half a pillar of incense, an old man was beaten out of the house door with a stick, according to investigation, this person should be Jin Dong's father Jin Youtai.
This move has lost all conscience, people and gods are indignant, and Jin Dong is unfilial piety, disloyal and unjust, which is really my shame!
Wen Chen smiled slightly, "It seems that this Jin Dong has caused trouble to Dongchang......
On the first day of the seventh month, Yu Peisheng, the son of Yu Qian, the son of Yu Qian, the son of the Guozi Priest, circulated bad publications such as "Flying Flowers and Shadows" and "Tasting Flowers and Treasures" in important organs of the imperial court, and the case was tried by the squire of the Criminal Department.
After investigation, Yu Pearson despised the discipline and had a bad impact, and he should have been beheaded, but he thought that his family had been loyal and good for generations, so he was sentenced to be confiscated to the southwest after half a month.
I'm rubbing! Wen Chen shook his head helplessly.
Isn't this the ancient seed brother? This is simply a great benevolent person who is even more bodhisattva-hearted than Han Rishan!
If he is assigned to the army, with the resources of the 2 T's in Lao Tzu's hard drive, he will not be punished by the nine clans?
I also read the relevant records about the country's priest Yu Qian, and the father and son don't seem to be fuel-efficient lamps.
Yu Qian had made the first limerick poem arrangement of Wei Cheng a month ago, which was widely spread in the court, and in less than three days, his son Yu Peisheng's dissemination of bad publications was exposed, and under the pressure of public opinion, the little emperor let the wine lord rest at home.
For almost the whole day, Wen Chen was immersed in the story of the thin volume, and most of the things recorded in it were the daily lives of the inconsequential characters.
The information that is recorded is nothing more than the cases of some court officials looking for juniors, beating Lao Tzu, or relatives who made mistakes and were imprisoned.
"This Lord Du, people are still weird, knowing that I don't have any eyebrows for the time being, I just came to a method of elimination!"
On these three booklets, as long as the names of the people appear, it can basically be concluded that they and Wei Cheng are hostile factions, there is no need to delve into it, and find some important lists to report to the little emperor, which can also make her less effort to find loyal ministers.
Before he knew it, it was already dusk, and Wen Chen was so engrossed that he didn't bother to eat.
In the courtyard next door, the freshly washed dirty pants were put on the clothesline, fluttering in the wind, and the stench in the air was a little stronger.
"Quick, be quick, move all these things in!"
There was a sharp greeting from the little nobleman outside the door.
