Chapter 1353 This damn tacit understanding
Zhu Ping'an reports to the station on time every morning, noon and evening, asking and urging for food and salary. Of course, he returns without success every time, but it cannot be said that everything is true. It’s a waste of time, but at least we have a better and better understanding with Nie Tai
The first day. "Sir, Mr. Tai, I wonder if the court has responded to your request for food and salary for the regiment?" Please pay me, but there is no reply yet. Just go back and wait patiently. You don’t have to work so hard. I will inform you as soon as there is news."
The next day. "My lord, Mr. Tai, I don't know that your lord has asked the court for instructions on how to provide food and salary for regiment training."
"There is no reply yet. Zihou, please go back and wait patiently."
The third day. "Sir, I don't know"
"There is no reply yet."
The fourth day. "嬬"
"No."
Day five. When Zhu Ping'an came to Mr. Zhetai's room, he didn't even say anything, but Zhetai had already spoken in advance, "No."
This damn tacit understanding
"Oh, if I were little brother Zhu , I’ve hit the wall so many times, I guess I’ve become useless. However, little brother Zhu is worthy of being the number one scholar, after hitting the wall so many times, Still in high spirits."
In the corridor, Chu Xiong and the other three people still routinely bet on Zhu Pingan's salary. Chu Xiong always bets on Zhu Pingan's success, and each time ends up losing money. Although He felt sorry for Yinzi, but Chu Xiong seemed to feel sorry for Zhu Pingan even more. After seeing Zhu Pingan hit the wall again and again, Chu Xiong couldn't help but sigh.
"Oh, you are young and energetic," Zhang Chufeng twitched the corner of his mouth and commented with a sneer.
"Brother Zhang, isn't it? Brother Zhu is so miserable, and you are still making sarcastic comments here."
Chu Xiong glanced at Zhang Chufeng with disdain, shook his head, sarcastically saying that Zhang Chufeng had no sympathy.
"I said something sarcastic?! What, Fatty Chu, if you are really serious, then use part of your wealth to sponsor Zhu Ping'an as food and salary. Anyway, your family has a big business and is not short of money."
Zhang Chufeng looked at Chu Xiong up and down, twitched the corner of his mouth and sneered, and retorted.
“I can’t be the master of the clan.” Chu Xiong’s momentum suddenly plummeted.
"Haha." Zhang Chufeng sneered.
"What do you mean? If I could be the leader of the clan, I would have used the money to provide food and wages for Brother Zhu. After all, I, Chu Xiong, am a person who regards money as dirt. "Chu Xiong felt that he had just given up. At this moment, he wanted to save his image and said impassionedly.
Chu Xiong trailed off, and there was one more person who sneered at him - Zhuo Yan.
After all, what kind of person Chu Xiong is, the two of them, who have been colleagues for many years, know very well. This guy has two major hobbies in his life, one is women, and the other is money, in no particular order.
"Tell me, when will Zhu Ping'an's salary be applied for?" Seeing that Chu Xiong and Zhang Chufeng were about to fight, Zhuo Yan changed the subject.
"One month." Chu Xiong said.
“At least three months.” Zhang Chufeng said almost at the same time.
Chu Xiong raised his eyebrows and glanced at Zhang Chufeng, twitching the corner of his mouth and provocatively said, "Do you dare to take a bet?"
"If someone wants to give money, I will naturally not object. "Zhang Chufeng smiled.
"Okay, if you want to bet, let's bet a big one. How about a hundred taels of silver?" Chu Xiong raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhang Chufeng.
"Haha, my father-in-law is going to celebrate his 70th birthday next month. My wife fell in love with a coral. I am worried that I don't have enough money. Since someone wants to give me money, I will naturally accompany him to the end."
Zhang Chufeng didn’t say anything Weak, then he pursed his lips towards Zhuo Yan and encouraged, "The good boy wants to give you money, do you want it?"
"It doesn't matter if it's money or not, the main thing is to accompany you." Zhuo Yan The paralyzed face showed a smile and joined the gambling game.
Of course, Zhuo Yan joined Zhang Chufeng's camp, and he also believed that it would take at least three months for Zhu Pingan to have a role.
While the three of them were gambling, Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu was having a drink with Wei Guogong Xu Pengju in a private room at Tianxiang Tower on the bank of the Qinhuai River.
Like Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju was also appointed as an official outside Yingtian. After all, he was a duke and his official position was higher than that of Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu. He served as Yingtian garrison and was in charge of the Yingtian Central Military Governor's Mansion.
The Linhuai Marquis Mansion and the Wei Guogong Mansion are located on Gonghou Street in the capital. The two families are neighbors, family friends, and in-laws. Of course, the two mansions sometimes fight and compare, but they are all benign fights.
The two of them were officials in Yingtian together, so they naturally stayed together and supported each other, and would get together for a drink from time to time.
"Brother Jundai, I heard that your cheap niece-in-law came to Yingtian." At the wine table, Wei Guogong Xu Pengju asked.
"Brother Dapeng is very well-informed. Zihou came to Yingtian five days ago to take up his post as the envoy for punishment and inspection. He came to visit me at my house the day before yesterday. Brother Dapeng learned the news. ." Linhuai Hou smiled slightly and said softly.
"Tsk tsk, your cheap niece-in-law is a blessing. Less than a year after entering the officialdom, you have already reached the rank of fifth-rank official. What a terrifying future life. When he got involved in Yang Jisheng's affairs, he offended Mr. Yan Ge and was punished. He was relegated to the remote Jingnan County to be the county magistrate, I guess, but in more than a month, he unexpectedly rose to the next level and was promoted to the fifth rank of Qianshi. No one else is so lucky." Xu Pengju, the Duke of Wei, was speechless and joked. .
"Haha, when it comes to blessings, who can be as blessed as Brother Dapeng? Brother Dapeng, why is your name Xu Pengju? Who knows about us, far and near? When my uncle was here When Brother Dapeng is about to come into the world, I had a dream in which General Yue Wu and Mu Yue Fei said to my uncle, "I have had a hard life and was trapped by power and traitors. In this life, I will join your family and enjoy decades of peace and wealth." Therefore, my uncle came here to enjoy happiness. Yue Wumu’s name is chosen for you The name can be regarded as corrected. Afterwards, it was not like what was said in the dream. Brother Dapeng, you have had a smooth career since you were born. Not only did you have a prosperous career, but you also avenged your previous life. Ten years ago, you were in the suburbs of Baimen. Trim the vegetable garden, By chance, the tomb of the traitor Qin Hui was dug up. Brother Dapeng cut open his coffin and discarded the body in the water. Wasn't this a revenge for Yue Wumu's previous life? "The Marquis of Linhuai carried the wine flask and poured a glass of wine for Duke Wei. , said half as a compliment and half as a joke.
"Hush, you should be careful when you treat your brother. Be careful about what you say about Yue Wumu's reincarnation. It's just a dream of my father. It can't be taken seriously. It can't be taken true. Haha. As for the treacherous prime minister Qin Hui, everyone can get it. To punish him, I just dug up his grave and scattered a handful of his bones. It’s just a revenge for Yue Wumu, who is respected by thousands of people. I believe anyone would do this, so why bother?”
Wei Guogong booed and waved his hand slightly, reminding Linhuai. Hou Shenyan said, but his face looked quite proud. (End of this chapter)
