Settlement funding?

Cui Geng "smashed" his mouth and said: "The funds of the Writings Bureau have been sent down by the imperial court, but they have been misappropriated by Liu Zili. Asking the imperial court for funds again, that will definitely not work. Or...... This official went to fight with Liu Zili in the ring? ”

Peng Chun shook his head and said, "Most of it is useless." "Three Teachings and Zhuying" is a bottomless pit, all the funds have been spent, where can Liu Ziyong find money to return to our book bureau? Besides, the secretary province is the main manager of our Writings Bureau, if you tear your face with Liu Ziyong, this, this ......"

He didn't say the next words, but Cui Geng immediately understood. In these years, he has paid attention to the dignity and humility of the upper and lower levels, Liu Ziyong is his top boss, and he really stiffened with him, and he became unreasonable.

He frowned and said, "What should I do?" Yes, this official is a bit of a golden saint, but our dignified Da Zhou Writing Bureau can't do business, right? ”

"Humble duty is not about doing business, but about ...... Sell Articles! ”

"Selling articles? What do you mean? ”

Peng Chun said: "There are rules in the imperial court that the author Lang can make a biography for the dead important ministers. You know that, right? ”

Cui Geng said "um", nodded and said: "This official also knows that because the authority to do the biography is too great, each writer is only allowed to give a biography to one minister. ”

"Isn't this the way to get rich?" Peng Chun took a step forward and said in a low voice: "You choose a minister to pass on, and then notify his descendants." For the sake of the reputation of his ancestors, isn't that person at his disposal? ”

Wipe!

Isn't this the equivalent of taking the reputation of a dead man into a ticket? It's too tasteless, right?

Cui Geng's face sank with a "swish", and he said sharply: "Hmph, no wonder you compliment this official for being a gold saint, it turns out that this is the idea!" When Xu Jingzong of the previous dynasty was revising the "History of the Country", he wantonly accepted bribes from the descendants of Wei Chi Jingde. In the end, it was exposed, and his reputation stinked on the street. Do you want to let this official follow in his footsteps? ”

"Don't dare!" Peng Chun hurriedly explained: "Xu Jingzong is accepting bribes in private, you are asking people to give money to our book bureau, this is different!" ”

"How is it different? The difference is nothing more than a private crime and a public crime. Whatever was grabbed by Lai Junchen, the official had to walk around without eating. ”

"But ......"

"Nothing." Cui Geng waved his hand impatiently and said, "This matter will never be mentioned again." As for the funding of the Publications Bureau...... Belch...... Within three days, the official will definitely solve it. ”

……

……

In fact, the method that Cui Geng finally came up with was also simple, that is, to find Shangguan Wan'er for help.

Shangguan Wan'er lives in the palace, and of course Cui Geng can't go to see her directly, so he can only go to Liu Laosi in the Inner Servant Province first.

Coincidentally, Cui Geng had just come out of the book bureau, and he didn't go far when he saw Liu Laosi coming in a hurry.

"Erlang, hurry up and go with the miscellaneous family, Shangguan Sheren is invited."

Cui Geng was slightly stunned and said, "What is the matter with Shangguan Sheren looking for me?" ”

"This matter must not be revealed." Liu Laosi blinked his eyes and said, "Erlang doesn't have to worry too much, it's a good thing, a great thing." ”

He walked in front, and Cui Geng followed, but instead of going in the direction of the imperial city, he went out of the Duanmen, crossed the Huangdao Bridge, Tianjin Bridge and Xingjin Bridge, and went straight to Shangshanfang.

After entering the workshop, he walked a few steps and came to the door of a mansion, Liu Laosi bowed slightly and said, "Erlang, please go inside!" ”

Cui Geng looked up at the door plaque and wondered, "Brother Shiro, whose mansion is this?" Why is the door plaque empty? ”

Liu Laosi said: "Hehe, this is a big man, he is a new person, and he has not had time to replace the new plaque with the old plaque." ”

can be called a big man by Liu Laosi, and he has a lot to do with Shangguan Wan'er, I'm afraid this identity is not simple! Cui Geng's heart was full of anticipation.

Sure enough, in the courtyard of the house, the eaves and arches, the corridors are entangled, the carved beams are painted, the delicate and abnormal, and the small bridges and flowing water are dotted in the meantime, which is enough to show that the identity of the owner of this place is extraordinary.

Liu Laosi said: "How does Erlang look at this house?" ”

"Well, to tell you the truth, if there is such a house in other places, it would be nothing more than taking money and piling it up. But Shangshan Fang is either rich or expensive, who will sell the house? The value of this house is immeasurable. ”

The corners of Liu Laosi's mouth curled slightly, and he said, "What? Erlang, are you excited? ”

"It's false to say that you don't want to be tempted." Cui Geng sighed and said, "The little brother is still living in the inn in Jishanfang, and he has been trying to find a house to move out, but there is nothing suitable for him." It's not about money, it's about a few squares near the imperial city, and there are no houses for sale at all. ”

"Then Erlang, you are here today, I will meet Shangguan Sheren later, you ask her to help you say a few words, maybe that big man will give you this house."

"Brother Shiro, don't forgive my heart, such a good house, people are willing to cut love?"

Liu Laosi smiled meaningfully and said, "That's not necessarily...... Eh, it's here! ”

As they spoke, the two of them had already arrived in front of a small courtyard, and Liu Laosi said: "Shangguan Sheren is inside, and the miscellaneous family will not go in, Erlang please." ”

Cui Geng came to the courtyard and saw that there was no one guarding outside, so he said loudly; "Is Shangguan Sheren here? Author: Lang Cui Geng asks to see. ”

"Come in." A female voice came.

"Yes!"

Squeak ~~

The door opened, Cui Geng looked at it, and couldn't help but feel a huge shock!

There was not one person inside, but four.

In the middle are two women, one in his forties, with a full head of pearls and a full body of ayaluo, rich and not expensive. One looks less than thirty years old, dignified and elegant, gentle and generous.

There are two men on the left and on the right, the one on the left is over seventy, his eyebrows are like autumn frost, trembling and towering. On the right is a young man in his twenties, in a green coat and a small hat, with smart eyes and slightly shy eyes.

These four people Cui Geng are all too familiar, they are Erniang, sister-in-law Su Xiuxiu, Mao Bo and Xiao Jiu'er.

His eyes were a little red, he gave a deep salute, and said with a slight chok: "Erlang to meet Erniang, to meet sister-in-law!" Belch...... How did you guys get here? ”

"It was Shangguan Sheren who brought them here!" Liu Laosi's voice came from behind.

As he walked into the house, he explained: "Erlang, you are looking for a house everywhere and preparing to settle your family, and the people of Shangguan Sheren have already heard about it. But as soon as she helped you find the house, you went to kneel under Tianshu. So, Shangguan Sheren simply sent someone to Quanzhou to pick them up, wanting to give Erlang a big surprise to you. ”

Cui Geng said: "Shangguan Sheren is really thoughtful, Brother Shiro, when you return to the palace, you must help me thank you well...... Ah, no, the younger brother wants to thank Shangguan Sheren in person, and ask Brother Shiro to give a message on his behalf. ”

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, Shangguan Sheren also wants to see Cui Qingtianli, who is famous all over the world."

At this moment, Erniang couldn't help but interject and said, "This father-in-law, you said that Shangguan Sheren found a house for our Erlang, where is this house?" Take us to see it. ”

Liu Laosi said with a smile: "What? Not happy with this place? ”

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied...... Erniang glanced around and said, "To be honest, our Cui family is rich now, but I never dreamed that there would be such a good house in the world." The owner of this house is definitely not simple, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm really a little restrained here......"

"Restraint? No, you don't have to! Liu Laosi said with a smile: "Don't hide it, this house is a gift from Shangguan Sheren to Erlang." In other words, this is your own home, so what's there to restrict? ”

"Self-...... Self...... Own home? Erniang's excited words were not good, and her eyes suddenly changed when she looked around, and said: "It is said that Erlang is rich, and when I see this house, I know what the real wealth is!" ”

After a pause, he said with some unsteady: "This father-in-law, you won't be joking with my wife, right?" ”

"The miscellaneous family and Erlang are friends for eight worships, how dare you deceive Erniang?"

In fact, how can Liu Laosi and Cui Geng have such a deep friendship, it is nothing more than using each other and being brothers. However, as Cui Geng and Shangguan Wan'er become closer and closer, Liu Laosi has a tendency to scold him. Now, he is even willing to call Erniang with Cui Geng.

He pointed outside and said, "Not only this house, but also sixty male servants, forty maids, twenty mothers-in-law, horsemen, gardeners, cooks and other miscellaneous servants are all available, and the Shangguan Sheren have all given them to Erlang." ”

Erniang was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and said, "Okay! Good, good! Then there is nothing missing in this house. ”

Liu Laosi suddenly turned his face and said, "That's not right!" This house is still missing a vital person! ”

"Who?"

"Mistress of course!" Liu Laosi squeezed his eyes at Cui Geng and said, "Erlang, now that you have become an official in Beijing, you have a house, your family has arrived, and your fiancée has been waiting for you for more than two years." Everything is ready, when will I invite my brother to have a glass of wine? ”

Erniang's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, yes, Erlang, you are twenty-five or sixteen, when are you going to get married?" ”

Cui Mao was even more excited and said: "There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great, this matter can not be delayed!" The old slave has been in the Cui family for most of his life, if he can hold the little master again, he is really willing to die! ”

"What are you talking about?" Su Xiuxiu said: "Then where is it, everyone is looking forward to your long life...... However, Erlang's family affairs really have to be grasped, don't let down the good years of the little lady. ”

Although Xiao Jiu'er didn't speak, she nodded again and again, obviously standing on everyone's side.

Cui Geng met everyone's eager gaze, and secretly thought, Liu Laosi is right, everything is ready, it seems that I, Cui Erlang, are really going to get married!
