Yao Yuan chatted with Wu Siwen for a whole day, and finally got out and went to the Tang family at the end of the street for the mission.

The whole street is located in the west of the inner city, and the Tang family is next to the city wall between the inner city and the outer city, separated by a road with soldiers and horses, so there are not many pedestrians, and it is always deserted.

According to legend, the Tang family, originally from Sichuan, is richer than the Wu family, but it is much more low-key than the Wu family, and it never shows the mountain dew.

The two big black fence doors in front of the door were closed, and there was a red cover of the candidate official of the Ministry of Officials, Yao Yuan sneered, and the secret way was really lacking in morality.

Probably because there was no place to post it on the fence, because there were not only big red official documents on the door, but also two notices prohibiting open defecation and defecation by street officials.

The department instructed: All idle people, etc., should not be filthy here, such as violating the law.

Yao Yuan is very familiar with this kind of notice, because all the scholarly families or rich people in Jiangnan who are well-off, eight out of ten families will ask the government to post a warning, and as for the official eunuchs, they don't need it at all, who dares?

There wasn't even a gatekeeper outside, so Yao Yuan had to push open the door and walk in. When I entered the outer wall and bypassed the shadow wall, I came to the hall and saw many people sitting on the stools against the wall on both sides.

Yao Yuan approached the front arch hand according to the customs, and also sat down and waited, and looked up to find a large painting with red silk and gold characters hanging in the middle, with many names written on the back.

After inquiring, I learned that last year, Mr. Tang donated money and food to accept the identity of a prisoner, that is, he spent money to buy a college degree. The guys in the family then sent the painting as a congratulatory gift, and today they came to repay the account.

In the middle of the hall is a large public table from Liaodong, wrapped in leather sprayed with lacquer to look very magnificent, in addition to the pen inkstone, a large balance on the left, a big abacus on the right. There was a low table next to it, stacked with many ledger packages.

Behind are two large blue and pink gold screens, one side of which is painted with the Tiger Prison Pass and the Three British Battle Lu Bu. One side of the painting of the Nine Mile Mountain is ambushed on ten sides. Yao Yuan secretly laughed at these two interstitial screens, which were no longer used elsewhere in the rich man's house.

There is a large gold lacquer coffee table in front of it, and a large porcelain vase with red and green flowers and a swarthy lacquer seat is placed on it. There is a large peony flower made of silk and a few peacock tails.

In the southeast corner of the hall, there is a big town hall drum, in the southwest corner, there is a large sedan chair with a large sedan chair with a large silk enclosure and five mountains facing the sky, a large umbrella, two pairs of large mantle lanterns, a large plaque is hung in the middle beam, and the red background is gold "Shifutang".

On the pillars on both sides are pairs of cinnabar notes. On the one hand, I hope that the silver money will come in, like the Yangtze River and the sea, all the time. On the other side, there is only the accumulation of rice and grain, like a mountain and a high mountain, and it will be there forever for thousands of years.

Yao Yuan saw this and remembered a joke, there was an iron rooster in his hometown, and when he was walking, he saw a large open space, saying how much oxen should be used and how much cultivation should be used. How many fields you cultivate, how many you harvest a year, how many years you can become a rich man.

A neighbor said with a smile: "I have to have hundreds of catties of iron." The iron rooster was puzzled and said, "What's the use of iron?" The big guys all laughed and said, "If you are cast again, it is good not to die." ”

I sat there for half an hour. Finally, a family member came out and said: "The master got drunk at noon, and then woke up, so he called the rank and waited." ”

Everyone responded, Yao Yuan got up and arched his hand: "Annoying." Yang Mansion Yao Yuan had something to say to the master. ”

After a while, the family came out again and said, "Master knows, Yao Xianggong, please take a seat." Just come. ”

Yao Yuan had to continue to wait, and after waiting for another half an hour, his heart was scorched, his stomach was almost digested, and he felt a little hungry. I saw that Tang Fugui was still drunk, his eyes were half open, he was wearing a pair of thick-soled red shoes, and he was holding a beautiful young man named Meilang in Suzhou, and slowly paced out.

Yao Yuan stood up and saluted, and said, "Master Tang is so useful, and he is still asleep. ”

Tang Fugui and Wu Siwen were both in their thirties and forties, and waved their hands and said: "The people who borrowed money every day invited me to eat and drink, stayed up late every day, and got drunk when I came back. If it weren't for the guys to settle the accounts and pay the profits, I'd be going to sleep for the day. ”

Letting Yao Yuan sit aside, he asked, "Are all the people here?" ”

"It's all here, just wait for the master to settle the account."

Tang Fugui nodded with satisfaction and said to Yao Yuan: "You sit for a while, and then I will talk when I finish settling the account." ”

A few steps to the big boss of the leather chair sat down, majestic like a patrol of the eight mansions, ordered all the guys to come one by one to settle the account, the abacus crackled, the balance weighed the silver, and it took an hour.

The accounts were recorded clearly by Meilang, and they were received in the study cabinet, and the silver was handed over to his wife Tie Shi for collection, and it was all over, it was probably almost midnight, and Yao Yuan was so hungry that his heart was close to his back, and he was hungry.

Tang Fugui stretched his waist and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I've gained a lot of weight, I think I got a lot of money with Yang Daguan in Yang Mansion." ”

"It's okay." Yao Yuan got up and said.

Tang Fugui said: "I often hear people say that his family has a lot of money, you often walk around his house, see how the Yang family is better than me?" ”

Yao Yuan said with a smile: "The Yang family's mansion and antique furnishings are all given by the emperor, where do you dare to compare with your mansion?" However, the Wu family is about the same. ”

Tang Fugui sighed and said, "I am the best rich man in the capital, and the Wu family can compare." From now on, I will not eat for a few years, and I will save more money than his family, and become the first rich man, so that my wish can be fulfilled. ”

Then the butler came in and said, "Madame, please have dinner." ”

Tang Fugui said: "There are guests, wait and see." ”

Seeing this, Yao Yuan expressed his intentions and said: "Yang Daguan said that he wanted to make a few friends, and he only wanted outstanding people. Because the late life mentioned the name of the master, the officials were very happy when they heard it, so they ordered the late birth to ask the master if he could have this Yaxing? ”

Tang Fugui smacked his lips and said, "He is a member of the government, Lao Tzu is an official, and the money is easy to come by." Although I have some money, but it is all scraped off my teeth, and I have earned it with great effort, what am I doing clinging to others? ”

"No!" Yao Yuan said: "The Yang family is very powerful now, there is nothing wrong with the lord to be friends with him, at most it will cost a few dollars, and when the friendship is thick, he will annoy him to go to the yamen to talk about it, who dares not to listen to the government in this world?" At that time, even the principal and interest will be back. ”

As he was talking, the housekeeper came out again, and said in his ear: "Grandma inside is scolding, saying that she will not eat the food, and when it is cold, she will spend money to fry it up." ”

Tang Fugui said: "You explain to grandma that I have guests outside." It doesn't hurt to let it cool. Save some hot tea, I made a meal and ate it. ”

When the official family entered, he sighed: "I did a bad thing last year, and I still regret it to this day, every time I mention it, my flesh trembles, and my heart is bleeding." ”

Yao Yuan was shocked and asked, "What happened to make the master angry like this?" ”

Tang Fugui sighed and said: "It's just because my ears are soft for a while, I mistakenly believe people's words, and I accepted that inmate who is not as good as bullshit." said that you can wear a gauze hat when you go out, and you are majestic. Take a photo when you are old, wearing an official crown with a big red round neck. Speaking of this, he sighed and gritted his teeth, "I regret that I shouldn't have listened to the words of the cheap, oops, my stomach is bloated again." ”

Yao Yuan asked, "What did grandma say?" ”

Tang Fugui said with a bitter face: "Say that I want to eat swan meat as a toad, and take pictures of soaking and peeing, and I want to be an official like a thief?" Hurry up and keep to yourself. Although I didn't dare to make a sound, I hated her for not belittleing me so mean. Am I so unbearable? In order to get a breath, I donated money to buy a prisoner. ”

After speaking, he pointed to the big sedan chair and said: "For this sedan chair, I have to collect a lot of family members, and I have to go out with four sedan chair drivers, and I have to go a little farther with eight sedan chair drivers in shifts before I am willing to go." How much money is wasted every year? Don't you see me going out or walking now? Unless it was the right person, I took a sedan chair.

Grandma's, for the sake of this bad luck, please the government. Worship wine, spend a few hundred taels of silver in vain, should you be less? There are several big packs of white flowers. Who knows that you can't get any benefits back. just got Zhang Guozijian's edict.

For the family, you can't eat or wear, you have words to wipe your buttocks, and you have all the bells and whistles in the windows. Have you ever seen this big? I'll take it out and show you. ”

Yao Yuan couldn't help but smile and said, "No need, that's the treasure of the master's townhouse, if it is dirty, it will be terrible." ”

"Yes, too." Tang Fugui nodded again and again, "Because I am a prisoner and have a few dollars, people come to pretend to flatter, but I know that they call the master in person, and they are still old Tang behind their backs, and they are stinking Tang." Fortunately, when I go to someone's house, I can be decent, and I have to play the drum twice. Even if you eat wine and go to the kiln, you won't have trouble with the poor people, and when you come back from dinner at night, we can also play a decent lantern for the candidate.

On the fifteenth day of the new year, incense was burned in the temple, and herons were worn to supplement clothes; Qingming 14 went to the grave and wore a yarn hat to scare the countrymen; In the last autumn, he went to Zhuangzi to collect rent, and lifted the top of the four-person sedan chair, who saw it and didn't give way? In addition, there is no benefit, and when I go to the yamen to ask for a favor, I can't rely on it. ”

As soon as Tang Fugui's chatterbox was opened, he couldn't stop it, kicked his foot twice, gritted his teeth, and said: "But the benefits are not worth mentioning compared to the loss of money, who wants to show off everywhere?" Let me be angry for more than half a year, and now I have brought those sedan chair men and overpaid people to the village to farm, ten people should be used a day, and five should be saved, and the deficit must be made up. ”

After speaking, he squinted at Yao Yuan, Tang Fugui snorted: "Now that I'm obedient, I'm not fooled by you, why should I make trouble for myself?" What else do you say about the translation of favors, and if you have money, you can't do it? ”

Yao Yuan laughed and said, "What Master Tang said is true, but since you know that the Yang family is quick to make money, he is generous as a son." After dating, the friendship was deep, and I asked him to borrow tens of thousands of silver, and the master used it to make profits, and when he repaid the capital, was he embarrassed to ask for interest? ”

Tang Fugui's eyes suddenly lit up, he couldn't help but stand up, jumped a few times on the spot, circled in the air with his hands, and said happily: "It's wonderful!" You have been talking for a long time, this is this wonderful sentence, it is really a good way to make money. ”

The housekeeper muttered and walked out, "I refused to go to dinner twice or three times, and I was scolded, and I don't know where to say something that didn't matter." Walked up to Tang Fugui, pulled his shirt, and said: "The tea is cold, please go to dinner, grandma said that she has something to say and will talk about it when she finishes eating, don't be boring." ”

Yao Yuanxin said that Master Tang was a little out of tune, and even the housekeeper was a stupid servant who didn't understand the rules.

I saw the housekeeper in front of him, and whispered in the ear of Master Tang: "Grandma is still scolding, what kind of tongue is chewing, if you have something to say, leave two sentences to send the ghost to death." ”

Tang Fugui was saying happily, how could he leave the guests to eat alone at this time? I had to say: "You go back to grandma and say that there is a friend Yao Xianggong who is here to say something important." How can I leave someone and eat by myself? You go in and take out the rice, and I'll eat it with Yao Xianggong.

By the way, Yao Xianggong is his own family, so he can eat lightly, and he doesn't have to bother. Don't make your grandmother angry by saying the wrong thing, according to my words. ”

Yao Yuan, who was hungry, was very happy, but he ate a lot of fish and meat at noon, and he was looking forward to the unique delicacy of the Tang family. I heard Tang Fugui ask again: "Although you said it well, I don't know why he is willing to lend me money?" ”

Yao Yuan explained: "If you don't go, you won't be able to make a profit." The old man naturally spent a few pennies first, and he got along with him, and he was accustomed to making small profits, and the wealth of the family in the house was thick, how could it be reasonable not to borrow? ”

Tang Fugui was persuaded, nodded frequently and thought about beautiful things, and couldn't stop laughing.

At this time, the housekeeper held two bowls of vegetables and two small dishes on a square plate, put them on the table and said: "Only the old man is left with a meal, there is not much, I will take the tea bubble and eat it evenly with Yao Xianggong." ”

Yao Yuan's eyes widened, staring at the dishes in front of him incredulously, and he shouted Amitabha Buddha in his heart!
