Later, I learned that this memory is just a hidden word, yellow rice refers to gold, white rice refers to silver-

After Wang Zhen was raided, he got a hundred jade plates, more than 20 corals six or seven feet high, more than 60 gold and silver warehouses, and countless coins, silks and jewelry.

Zhengde Chinese did not have Liu Jin's goods, and obtained 240,000 gold ingots and 57,800 taels, 5 million ingots, 8 million silver and 1,583,600 taels, two buckets of precious stones, two gold armors, 3,000 golden hooks, 4,162 bundles of jade belts, two bundles of lion belts, 500 gold and silver soup, 470 attacks of yonster clothes, two tooth cards, 500 palace cards, three gold medals, four robes, three thousand eight-clawed golden dragon armor, one jade qin, and one jade seal. The above amounted to 1,257,800 taels of gold, and 25,983,600 taels of silver.

Compared with these two, Li Guangke is too much worse, but it depends on who he compares with, and compared with ordinary officials, he is out-and-out rich, and even compared with many lords and princes, he is not inferior at all.

The five-entry mansion that was awarded to Xie Sheng was just a part of his huge fortune.

The sky was completely dark, and at this time, at the southeast end of Guanghuasi Street, in the direction of the silver ingot bridge, there were bursts of bells, as well as the crisp sound of horseshoes stepping on the bluestone slab ground, and the sound of wheels rolling.

A horse-drawn carriage was coming this way.

The carriage is very ordinary, and even a little old, and the wood style is just average. And this generality refers to the real general, not the seemingly simple, but in fact luxurious and introverted, that is, very pure ordinary. The old and ordinary wood, and the outside of the carriage was even a little blackened. The rope that was attached to the connection was even a little fluffy, and I don't know how long it hadn't been taken care of.

But the horse that pulls the cart is a good horse.

This is a yellow horse, shiny and shiny, and the fur is extremely smooth and fine, and it can be seen that life is very moist, at least there has never been a shortage of food and clothing. Tall and long-legged, curvy, more than half a head taller than ordinary horses, with a large head and wide forehead, very spirited. The four horseshoe were the size of a sea bowl, and the horseshoe below hit the bluestone floor with a crisp sound. There was also a bell around the horse's neck, and the bell rang as soon as the horse walked.

This is a little strange, and it can be seen that the owner of this carriage is not very rich. Otherwise, just to be worthy of this horse, you have to change to some gorgeous and exquisite carriages. This kind of good horse, which should have galloped across the field, crisscrossed thousands of miles, is already aggrieved enough to be used to pull a cart, and it is also used to pull such a broken car.

There were no official lights on the carriage, and I didn't know whether the people who came were officials or citizens.

The coachman wore a cloak and wore it dark for a while, and now that it was dark, he couldn't see what it looked like.

When he arrived at the gate of Xie's house, the coachman shouted, shook the reins in his hand, and with a low roar, he stopped and stopped at the gate of the house.

It was already quite bright, and two large red lanterns with a diameter of three feet hung at the door, emitting a dull red light, illuminating the small square in front of the mansion. The carriage stopped behind the shadow wall, and the four slaves standing at the door with whistle sticks looked at each other, and two of them strode over, waving their whistle sticks impatiently to drive them away.

Don't look at what kind of realm this is! This is the house of the heavenly officials of the Ministry of Officials! In addition to the emperor Lao Tzu, the old man of the pavilion, my master is the biggest in the entire Ming Dynasty! This carriage is so shabby, I don't think it's a rich family, and the head of the powerful family deserves to stop here with us?

But when they got closer, one of them was stunned when he saw the coachman's face, and he couldn't help opening his mouth wide, and then his face changed, and he was full of flattering smiles.

The companion next to him didn't know whether he couldn't see clearly or didn't know him just now, and he had to open his mouth to scold, and this Ding quickly pulled him, bowed his waist, and said to the carriage with a smile: "Yo, it's Lord He, the little one saluted you." Are you going to visit my lord? ”

As soon as he said this, the family next to him also understood, and he was suddenly full of excitement, and hurriedly followed him to salute.

There was a cold snort from the carriage, which seemed to be full of indescribable arrogance and disdain.

Then the carriage door opened, and a man got out of the carriage.

This person is about thirty years old, he is extremely handsome, his face is like a crown of jade, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and he is heroic, but his lips seem to be a little thinner, giving people a feeling of being too cold and arrogant. He was wearing a very well-fitting moon-white gown, with a square scarf, which made his figure longer and longer, and every line of his movements was chic and tight.

He glanced at the two family members and said lightly: "Uncle Shi's house, it's time to clean up." ”

When the two family members heard this, they suddenly shuddered, and their faces instantly turned pale.

The other two family members were also silent, they didn't dare to say a word, they were very glad in their hearts, fortunately they didn't go over, otherwise they would be unlucky at this time.

Seeing this young man coming, the two family members hurriedly opened the door, one stood aside with his head down, and the other nodded and said, "Lord He, the little one is going to report here." ”

That Lord He's chin raised slightly, and he snorted lightly, but he didn't speak, just stood on the steps with his hands in his hands, looking at Shichahai.

Shichahai is still frozen, because no one cleans it, the heavy snow under the moon last year, even now has not thawed, exuding a faint red light, accompanied by the withered willows on the shore, at a glance at this time, but it is a bit of a lonely taste.

This Lord He looked at it in a daze, but he was out of his mind.

Not long after, there was a rush of footsteps in the house, and the man who had just gone to report the news came with an old man in his fifties, the old man was not tall, round, his face was red, and he looked very rich, he had a short beard, and he was already gray. The old man wore a green satin robe, and the texture was also quite precious.

As soon as he saw this Lord He, the old man immediately showed a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Lord He." ”

When Lord He saw this old man, he was not as arrogant as before, his face immediately changed, he became attentive and eager, and it seemed that the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were also smiling, and he solemnly returned the courtesy: "Liang is in charge, and he will be polite in the future." ”

Steward Liang laughed: "Lord He is too polite...... The little old man can't be it, the old man hasn't slept yet, and he's in the study at this time, let's go straight over? If you drink it, you can go to the side hall to drink tea first. ”

Lord He saluted again and said with a smile: "The old man bothered, and the future life went directly to it, and when he came, he used tea at home." ”

This Lord He seems to be arrogant, but in fact, he is also divided. He can wantonly ridicule those low-status family members and have an arrogant attitude, but when facing this old steward who is very important in the Xie Mansion and is deeply trusted by Xie Sheng, and his status can even rank among the top three in the mansion, it will not be like that.

It can be seen that he is not necessarily born arrogant, but he is just pretending to be - to put it bluntly, he is bullying the weak and afraid of the strong.

You must know that this steward Liang looked at the smile on his face, and he looked kind and round, but he was actually a big man who couldn't be provoked. As the saying goes, although Xie Sheng is not the prime minister, he is not far from power. And this Liang steward is by no means comparable to a mere seven-grade official. He looks like he is only about fifty years old, but that's because of good maintenance, in fact, he is already in his sixties - this Liang steward was born in the sixth year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty, and Emperor Wanli had not yet ascended the throne!

Steward Liang is the same age as Master Xie Shengxie, and he has grown up with Lord Xie since he was a child, and he was born in a family, but he has never changed his surname. Later, when he was a little older, he was Lord Xie's scholar's follower. Xie Sheng, Xiucai, and the Jinshi exam, are all by his side. Later, Xie Sheng became an official and set up his own door, and he became Lord Xie's housekeeper.

Until now.

For more than 60 years, he has always been loyal and servant.

When it comes to the relationship with Xie Sheng, those Xie Sheng's original wives, concubines and other pillow people are far inferior to him. In the entire Xie Mansion, Xie Sheng is also the most trustworthy.

If you calculate it in this way, I'm afraid it's equivalent to a fourth-grade official.

It's also strange to say, one is Xie Sheng, the other is Liang Steward, these two old men are not young, but they are both energetic, and they don't look old at all. Xie Sheng firmly controlled the ministry, and the emperor was so trusted, seeing that he still had a tendency to go up, he couldn't say that he would be able to enter the cabinet within two or three years. And Steward Liang firmly controls the size of the house, whether it is the purchase of his wife and concubines, the monthly silver, or the grange outside the city, the income of the stores under his name is controlled by him, and even Xie Sheng's original wife is not touched.

This Lord He, in front of him, is really not arrogant.

Steward Liang responded with a smile and instructed the two family members: "Good life to entertain the people brought by Lord He." ”

The two family members were busy responding.

Steward Liang stretched out his hand and said, "Lord He, please." ”

This Lord He humbly conceded: "It's better for the old man to invite first." ”

Steward Liang didn't shirk it anymore, laughed, and went first, Lord He followed him, and the two of them walked to the inner house.

After the two left, the two family members guarding the door let out a long breath and glanced at each other, both of them seeing a trace of happiness in each other's eyes. Damn, these people are not easy to mess with, say a few words in front of the master, and we will be finished! The tense muscles of the two relaxed, only to find that the cold day turned out to be a hot sweat, sticky and whirring on the body, uncomfortably tight. But looking at the two people who were standing at the bottom of the stairs and lost their souls, I felt much happier.
