Chapter 336: A Dedicated Dirty Officer
Because Zhang Shuye temporarily joined the mission in Qingzhou in the north, there were still a bunch of things to arrange at home, so after talking to Wu Haogu for a while, he said goodbye and left.
After Wu Haogu sent him away, he brought up his liver with a little care, and he didn't know how Pan Qiaolian and Yan Niangzi's mother and daughter were talking?
Thinking of Pan Qiaolian's appearance of the lion roaring in Hedong, Wu Haogu shook his head again and again, smiling bitterly.
Of course, he is not afraid of Pan Qiaolian, he is now a man's husband, and maybe he will still be the father of all evil capitalism and militarism in the future!
How could such an evil person be afraid of his wife?
And...... He doesn't seem to have violated the "Wu Family Law" formulated by the "Dongfang Legislative Council"! The "family law" did not prohibit Wu Haogu from holding hands with the women outside, but just controlled Wu Haogu's pocket and prevented him from spending money indiscriminately.
In addition, it is also stipulated that without the consent of the eldest woman Pan Qiaolian, no concubines are allowed, and it is not allowed to hold hands with female singers...... Well, in short, they are all reasonable regulations, otherwise even if there are two lionesses in the family, Wu Dalang will definitely fight for it.
He is not afraid of lions!
Wu Haogu frowned and thought for a while, feeling that he really didn't "break the law", so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then strode towards the courtyard where he lived.
Walking to the gate of the courtyard, Wu Haogu stopped, and when he wanted to take a peek first, Luo Han didn't know where to come out, and smiled and made a blessing, "Great official, you are here." Then he shouted, "Madam, Daddy, the official is here!" ”
"How?" Wu Haogu asked hurriedly.
"What's the hell?" Luo Han is a stupid girl, I didn't understand it for a while.
"Yan Niangzi and Eighteen Sisters......"
"Oh," Luo Han said with a smile, "the two Yan Niangzi and the Eighteenth Sister are quite good, they are acquaintances who have known each other for a long time. ”
"Huh?" Wu Haogu was stunned and stunned.
What's going on? How could Pan Qiaolian know two dusty women?
In fact, it is normal for Pan Qiaolian to know Yan Po'er, Yan Po'er was a famous trick back then, and her appearance and talent were all excellent, so she was often invited to perform in Pan's Mansion, so Pan Qiaolian had known her since she was a child. And later, although Yan Po'er "degenerated", she still had some savings, and she invested them in the pledge bank attached to the Pan family's gold and silver silk shop to eat interest. Therefore, I have business dealings with Pan Qiaolian.
Moreover, Pan Qiaolian also understands Wu Haogu's "nature of work...... Recruiting an Oiran at home is the legendary spirit of craftsmanship! Aren't all the bigwigs in the entertainment industry in later generations like this, very craftsman-like?
Wu Haogu walked into the courtyard nervously, and the people in the courtyard also knew that he was coming, so they saw Pan Qiaolian, Yan Po'er and Yan Xixi coming out of the inner hall together.
As soon as she saw Wu Haogu, Yan Po'er, who was walking in front, smiled and lost her wink, "The big official, the slave and the eighteenth sister have all said it." ”
"Huh?"
Wu Haogu was stunned for a moment, what did he say?
"It's that the slave took a dozen young ladies from Yihong Courtyard to the big official's mansion early in the morning and did housework for the big official for two months."
What the?
Wu Haogu was stunned and stunned, and then glanced at Pan Qiaolian with a weak heart, and found that Pan Qiaolian and Yan Xixi were holding their arms together, looking at him with a smile.
Is there a knife hidden in a smile?
Putting yourself to the test?
Wu Haogu can stand the test...... Uh, he's not Zhao Ji who likes! If it was Yan Xixi who wanted to go out with him, he might fall into the trap, but how could Yan Po'er be fascinated by Wu Haogu?
Wu Haogu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Eighteenth sister, what are you talking about?" Where do I need to save money? ”
is also, the first brother of the "entertainment circle" in Kaifeng Mansion, whoever wants to be popular can be popular. Such a person still has to save a house? Isn't it just a matter of a sentence to want an Oiran lady to come to service? And you definitely don't have to give money......
"The slave knows that you don't have a family trick," Pan Qiaolian said softly, "But now that you are an official and a big proprietor of the Republican Bank, how can you not have a façade?" ”
Facades?
Wu Haogu only remembered his identity at this time, but he couldn't learn from those "poor officials" who came out of the imperial examination, and what kind of two-sleeved breeze he played. The last time I took Ximen Qing on the road, it was a special situation, first, I was going to enter Liao, and there was also a secret mission; Second, he was only a Jiupin at that time, and the money was not as much as it is now.
But now the situation is different, Wu Haogu is already a rampant official from the seventh grade, and he is also a well-known official in Kaifeng Mansion.
Such a dirty official should take with him a large number of servants and housekeepers and all kinds of pleasures with him on a business trip, unless it is a secret mission, and he should eat, drink, blow and beat all the way. Let the various civil officials who followed him go all the way comfortably...... Of course, it is free, not only does it not cost half a penny, but even the minister's money can be saved and used where it is more needed. When the mission is completed, after the Qingtian masters return to Beijing, they may also join the martial arts to commit a sin of greed and extravagance to show their innocence.
However, Wu Haogu, a dirty official, will not lose half a hair, and he can still be promoted to make a fortune and continue to be his close luck dirty official - the near luck dirty official is not afraid of Qingtian impeachment, and the more bullet badges he has on his body, the more it shows that this person is a qualified good luck dirty official. If it's clean, how can you be a dirty official?
As for when a qualified near-luck dirty official will be unlucky, it depends on the backstage and the usual person.
Wu Haogu is now Duan Wang Zhao Ji on one side, and Cai Jing, a loyal minister, on the other, and he has become a good buddy with the future Taiwei Gao Yu. So as long as Zhao Ji, the future emperor, does not fall, his close luck can continue to be a dirty official.
But out of professionalism, Wu Haogu still has to be a good dirty official who is loved by everyone and blooms...... If he still wants to control the Jiehe Commercial Market for a long time, he must be a good dirty official! If you want to be a master of the blue sky, then if nothing else, Jiehe Commercial Market must be handed over.
After entering the inner hall and taking a seat, Pan Qiaolian continued: "Da Lang, although my family does not have a housekeeper, but the façade still needs to be filled, it is good for Sister Yan to help with this, she will lead the ladies of Yihong Courtyard to follow you, and turn around and let the inner tent room pay 3,000 yuan to Yihong Courtyard, and what needs to be done by the housekeepers on the way, Sister Yan will arrange it properly."
In addition, the slave will send ten capable domestic servants from the Ewha Villa to follow you, and the officials will bring more money, so don't be stingy when you need to spend it on the road. ”
Is there such a good treatment?
After listening to Pan Qiaolian's words, Wu Haogu was a little moved - it turned out that behind a good dirty official, there were one or two virtuous helpers!
……
In the northwest of Bianliang City, there is a small pavilion outside the Jinyao Gate in Wulidian, which is built on the side of the official road, there is a low wall around the pavilion, and there is a row of houses, among which there is a horse shed for mules and horses, the wall faces the side of the official road and opens a gate, and there are the soldiers of Kaifeng Mansion standing guard at the door all the year round. Idle people, etc., are not allowed to approach.
This pavilion is the legendary official pavilion, which is a place used to usher in the officialdom of Kaifeng Mansion.
Today, it seems that this small official pavilion has come to the big shot, and the originally airy pavilion is surrounded by thick brocade curtains, which can block the slightly chilly autumn wind. A few of the servants of the van soldiers busily erected two rows of sheds in the open space outside the brocade curtain, and spread thick straw mats and futons and tables, which seemed to be used by the retinue of the great man.
On the road outside the pavilion, a long line of carriages and horses was parked at this time, as well as brightly dressed guards of the Forbidden Army. As soon as the procession stopped, a few people who appeared to be petty officers of the Forbidden Army were loudly announcing to the characters in several extravagantly decorated carriages.
"Wuli Pavilion has arrived!"
Wuli Pavilion has arrived! This is where the people who saw off and the officials who went were separated...... Today, there will be many officials who will come to see off Zhang Shangying and Zhang Dazhongshu, and there will inevitably be a singing and dancing banquet.
Because this is still the gate of Kaifeng Mansion, it is impossible to let the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion pay the minister's money (the minister's money is used to welcome and send off), so the singing, dancing and drinking banquet here, needless to say, is all in charge of the dirty official Wu Haogu - in fact, it is run by Yan Po'er.
"Qing'er, just send it here," Wu Haogu, who was riding on the back of the red cloud cone, said to Ximen Qing, who was riding out on a horse with a big belly, "You have a body, it's inconvenient to send it again." ”
Ximen Qing nodded at Wu Haogu affectionately, and then said to Yan Po'er, who was getting off a carriage beside Wu Haogu: "Yan Niangzi, Dalang will be handed over to you to take care of." ”
Yan Po'er in the carriage replied with a smile while drilling out: "Sister Ximen, please rest assured, the slave will definitely serve your family's officials well." ”
Listening to Yan Po'er's answer, Wu Haogu sighed softly. This Yan Po'er is actually good, and she can handle her figure, posture, and talent. Moreover, she is still a veteran in the Fengyue field, although she has always been a private trick, but she has seen big scenes, knows how to do the domestic tricks of rich and noble people, and also knows how to serve the lord in the officialdom.
What's even more rare is that she is still an old bustard, holding a bunch of female actors' sales contracts in her hands, and she can take the female dancers to "contract" the domestic skills business of Xia Wu Haogu.
In the Song Dynasty, being a dirty official, not only was the family trick indispensable, but there were often people who were asked to go to the house, and the legendary "sending a girl" was one of the common social activities in the officialdom.
Can Wu Haogu be willing to do it? He didn't have such an awareness, so it was just right to let Yan Po'er contract.
Yan Po'er is in her thirties, so naturally she will not be begged, and she looks like a housekeeper, and it is rude to ask her. Wu Haogu still has to rely on her to arrange a banquet for Zhang Shangying and others to enjoy, she is going to be asked to leave, what should Wu Haogu do?
And those young sisters brought by Yan Po'er can be given away, and after they are delivered, they can find Wu Haogu to settle the bill.
