Chapter 36: Trying to win over
The few imperial historians who visited Lord Chen also stood up and said goodbye one after another, and some left gifts, but when they left, they were all carried back by the little servants.
The Chen family said that if they don't receive gifts, they are afraid that they can't afford to pay it back!
Yang Fu came empty-handed, which made the little guy who was in charge of returning the gift breathe a sigh of relief.
And Yang Fu also came to the Chen family for the first time.
Although he knew that the Chen family was very shabby, it was really unexpected for a royal historian to live in such a house, and the furnishings in the house were so old and dilapidated.
This, and such a poor official, it is estimated that this Chen Yushi's brain is too pedantic.
Yang Fu looked left and right, only to feel that the stool was dark and not in the middle of winter, and he didn't know if it was because it was too long or too dirty, so he didn't dare to sit down anyway.
"Ahem, I don't know that Lord Yang came to Xiaguan's humble house in his busy schedule, and he missed the ......."
Chen Yushi is a little strange, this Yang Fu is the secretary of the household department, a little higher than himself according to his official rank, and the two usually do not interact.
At most, when they are facing up and down, they nod to each other.
This time it was the gust of wind that blew him here?
"I have also been summoned by His Majesty, and after seeing Lord Chen summoned by His Majesty this time, he vomited blood and was sent back, I deeply sympathize, and I came to visit, and I hope Lord Chen will not blame me for being abrupt......"
As soon as Yang Fu said this, Lord Yu Shicheng naturally stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling man, and hurriedly invited him to sit down, but the stool was too dark, Yang Fu coughed and gargled, and saw the little guy who was serving with him, and immediately knelt down and put a beautiful blanket on the stool.
The blankets were all passed down from Persia, exquisite and luxurious, and when the idlers got a piece, they were all regarded as treasures.
But this Yang Fu directly put the blanket on the stool, and then sat down in a hurry.
After seeing his movements clearly, Chen Yushi was very unhappy in his heart, but because the visitor was a guest, it was not good that this would drive the guest away, so he could only remain silent.
"I'm just here to ask, someone said, Your Majesty once said to you, one tael of silver and ten catties of salt, I don't know if there is such a thing?"
The news of Yang Fu was known very quickly, Lord Chen nodded, but he didn't speak.
That Yang Fu sighed and began to talk about Lord Chen's house.
"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Chen has been an official for almost fifteen years, and he has been in the Imperial History Observatory for ten years, and he will be placed in the office in about ten years......"
Lord Chen didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yang Fu's gourd, so he didn't say anything, just nodded, but was very suspicious in his heart.
What does this Tobe Squire want to do?
"Look at you, you have been an official for more than ten years, and you are still with a clean breeze on your sleeves, and in the end you are still vomiting blood by Your Majesty, which is not worth it!"
"The king wants his ministers to die, and the ministers are not dead and disloyal!"
"Hehe, you're nothing, but what about your seventy-year-old mother and your young son? Especially the young son, without the recommendation of the family, he doesn't even have a chance to study, as for being an official, there is no way, you can be poor, but what about your young son? ”
Yang Fu talked about Lord Chen's young son, which made Lord Chen's heart flash a trace of panic and unbearable.
The only thing he worries about is his young son, the youngest son is extremely smart, he is ten years old this year, although he is in school, but according to the rules of the Great Sui, if he wants to go to the academy to study, he must be recommended by officials.
And those rights are in the hands of the gate valve family, he has no reliance, and he is not a member of the family.
Now he is still an official in the imperial court, maybe he will ask his colleagues or bosses, and his son will still have the opportunity to study, but if he goes back to his hometown, he is afraid that his young son will not have the opportunity to go to school.
Moreover, almost all the officials of the Great Sui Dynasty are recommended by the system, like children of families with no power, no power and no money, they want to dream of being officials!
He is also a royal history, although the grade is high, but he is usually pedantic and poor, and the young son is afraid that he will never have a future, so he can only run around for food and clothing in the end.
"Hey, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren......"
Although he persuaded himself, Chen Yushi was still unwilling, there was no way, this Emperor Yang of Sui was not a Ming monarch at all.
If such an emperor becomes the imperial history, he will be beheaded all over the house.
Rather than the child who can't even save his life at that time, he resigns and returns to his hometown, so that he can still save the life of the family, thinking of this, Chen Yushi has already made up his mind.
"No, no, no, in fact, Chen Yushi still has one more to go, take refuge in Yang Guogong, this is a three-in, three-out house on Longqing Street, and the deed of sale of ten servants, as long as you take refuge in Yang Gong and do things according to Yang Gong's instructions, these are your ......"
Although Longqing Street is a little remote, the three-in-three-out house is in Luoyang City, which is also very expensive, plus the deed of sale of ten servants.
This is a full 5,000 taels of silver, and these silver can't be earned in a hundred years by relying on Chen Yushi's wealth.
Yang Fu smiled, looking around at Chen Yushi's dilapidated house, he didn't believe that Chen Yushi was not moved?
Chen Yushi looked at Yang Fu in surprise, above the court, Yang Fu was all around Yang Guogong, and he was obedient to him, it turned out that he had already taken refuge in Yang Guogong.
Those rumors are true.
Hehe, the purpose of his resignation is to save his family's life in front of the faint king, if he accepts this silver, it will be his family's life money.
"Thank you Yang Shangshu for your love!"
Chen Yushi didn't cough anymore at this time, he didn't stammer, and even stared at the deed and deed of sale for a long time, and then let out a long breath.
Yang Fu smiled, hahaha, I'm afraid this Chen Yushi is tempted.
Although the house didn't cost anything, it was someone else's filial piety to Yang Guogong, and the ten servants didn't spend much money, and they all said that Chen Yushi was just right, and in front of the silver, everything was fake.
"Be polite, we will move around more and get closer in the future, Yang Gong is the most generous ......"
"I've decided to resign and return to my hometown, I can't accept these things, it's disrespectful!"
Chen Yushi pushed the deed of sale and the deed of sale in front of Yang Fu, and pretended to be a little sorry to say it, but he served tea to the guests.
And Yang Fu thought that Chen Yushi would laugh at all this, and then the two of them understood, and Chen Yushi would become Yang Guogong's person.
When necessary, let whoever participates in the play?
However, this Chen Yushi is going to resign?
Don't receive gifts?
Really?
Yang Fu was a little confused, if this Chen Yushi really accepted the gift and resigned from the office, then they were afraid that they would have to arrange for someone to get these things back, and they would even consider killing people to vent their anger.
But knowing that people are resigning, it is a fool to give gifts.
Five thousand taels of silver is not a small amount.
Yang Fu was reluctant even if he was a household servant, so in the end he left with a gift, but when he left, he left a word.
