Prime Minister

Chapter 421
Two hundred shares equals ten thousand!Why does my wife have so much money, isn't it very frugal to live with me on weekdays?
So much so that Zhang Yue almost forgot that his wife was a daughter of a family of officials.

"Officer, how much is two hundred shares?"

Hearing the question from Seventeen Niang Versailles, Zhang Yue almost tossed his hat and got angry. What kind of bird official is I still, and I went home to eat soft food.

This mouthful is our family history.

Zhang Yue said: "Two hundred shares equals ten thousand guan, my lady, it's hard for you to hide it from me. I never know how much gold and silver are in the house on weekdays."

Seventeen Niang smiled sweetly when she heard the words: "Are officials doing big things? How can they care about these yellow and white things? Besides, I have told you about our family's management of the farm and the renting out of the shop, but you didn't pay attention to it." .If I tell the officials about these trivial family matters again, I will not divide the gods of the officials."

After hearing this, Zhang Yue said, "My lady's words seem to make sense, but even though I'm not in the family, I still have to know."

Seventeen Niang smiled and said: "Okay, I will tell you slowly, how many shares are there in the stock exchange? I will ask my mother, brother and sister-in-law. This is the first thing for officials. If you always support someone, it will be so rare that outsiders snatch it.”

Zhang Yue nodded and said, "Alright, I will have to rely more on your family when it comes to salt in the future."

Zhang Yue and Shi Qiniang left Ouyang Xiu's residence immediately after talking.

Seventeen Niang was sitting in a carriage, and Zhang Yue was following on horseback, and the two of them walked slowly on the streets of Bianjing.

On the streets of Bianjing in midsummer, hundreds of restaurants opened, and the citizens came in and out wearing Ge robes and cool shirts. The steamer in the cake shop was lifted, and the steam rose hotly, covering half of the street. In an instant, it exploded beside the carriage.

Zhang Yue saw something interesting in the market, so he talked to Shi Qiniang across the car curtain.

On summer nights, the cool breeze blowing on the body is extraordinarily cool.

"Officer, I'm pregnant."

"What?" Zhang Yue was taken aback when he heard this, and then his heart was pounding.

Zhang Yue couldn't see Shi Qi Niang's expression through the car curtain, but he was very happy in his heart.

"Well, just take good care of yourself." Zhang Yue said after pondering for a while.

Seventeen Niang said with a smile: "I searched for a long time, but I still don't know what the officials would say, but it's still an ordinary sentence."

Zhang Yue chuckled and said, "Let's just say something this time, and I'll talk to you nicely next time."

Zhang Yue heard that Seventeen Niang in the curtain gave a pause, then burst out laughing, then turned her head and looked at Zhang Yue tenderly through the curtain of the car.

Zhang Yue smiled and said: "Lady, what can you eat, so many people buy the biscuits here, it must be good. Why don't we buy some to eat."

"That's fine, but you don't need to buy too much."

The carriage stopped on the side of the street, and people lined up to buy cooking cakes.

Soon after someone bought the cakes, Zhang Yue took the curtain and handed it to Seventeen Niang.

Seventeen Niang took a look, broke half of the cake in her hand and handed it to Zhang Yue.

Zhang Yue took a bite and said with a smile, "It's really delicious."

Seventeen Niang hummed lightly in the car.

Then the carriage moved forward again, Zhang Yue sat on the horse and ate half a piece of cooking cake, looked up and saw the sky full of stars hanging upside down on the streets of Bianjing, thinking how much it would be if he would always remember this scene after decades of life it is good.

The carriage drove near Yujie, but someone shouted: "Sanlang!"

Zhang Yue heard the voice somewhat familiar, turned his head to look, but saw a man in a brocade suit waving to him in the street building in the luxury house next to the street.

Zhang Yue didn't recognize it at first sight, but after careful examination, he recognized it and said, "Isn't this Brother Xiang?"

The man laughed and said immediately: "Sanlang wait for me."

Seventeen Niangs in the carriage asked, "Who is this official?"

Zhang Yuedao: "It's Xiang Qi who I told you before. He was released as an official after being a Jinshi. Now Fang is transferred to Jingzhaohu Cao. It can be seen that his demeanor is different from that of the past."

Seventeen Niang also heard some things about Xiang Qi from Zhang Yue, so she said: "Officer, you should not associate with such a person."

Zhang Yue said: "Anyway, we were classmates. There was some affection back then, so it's hard to deny it."

Xiang Qi went down the street, but saw several people on the left and right.Xiang Qi smiled and said to Zhang Yue: "Sanlang, I haven't seen Taixue Yibei since then, but I really want to scare me. In the officialdom, I have to respectfully call you Bachelor Zhang. Now I call you in private, you won't blame me, will you?" .”

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "You and I are former classmates, you can call them whatever you want. I haven't seen you for a few years, Brother Xiang really surprised me."

Zhang Yue sees that Xiang Qi has spent these years living abroad as an official to maintain his energy and body, and when he thinks about it when he was in the twilight of Taixue, it is really different. In fact, he himself is not like this.

Xiang Qilang laughed and said: "Sanlang, I haven't been in Beijing for a few days, and I don't have time to visit your house. This is a newly bought house for me by my Yue's family. I'm inviting some friends to come and sit down today."

Zhang Yue knew that the mansion next to the Imperial Street could not be taken for more than five thousand guan.

Zhang Yue said with a smile: "Okay, you are really showing off today."

Xiang Qi laughed, and then said to the people around him: "This is the number one scholar I mentioned to you on weekdays. We were the best friends in the Taixue back then. He wanted friendship the most and met you guys. I will benefit endlessly for a lifetime, so I still don’t come to see you!”

Several people were busy singing to Zhang Yue.Zhang Yue glanced at these people, they looked like friends who were friends.

Zhang Yue bowed his hands and said a few salutes, then said to Xiang Qi: "Brother Xiang is late, let's catch up on the past at another day."

Xiang Qidao: "Hey, Saburo, it's better to hit the sun than to choose a day, because everyone is lively and lively."

The rest of the people also kept talking, and one of them laughed and said: "I have admired the name of the champion for a long time, and I can't wait to admire it. Now, I would like to offer a glass of water and wine to Cao Baodi to pay respects to the champion!"

Zhang Yue asked, "Where is the next step?"

The other party smiled and said: "Xu Song, a villain, is doing some salt business. Today is just the right time. I hope you can give me some advice!"

Another person said: "I have admired you for a long time, Mr. Zhuangyuan, but I have never had the chance to know you. I heard that the Exchange is now delivering hundreds of thousands of money every day. It is really amazing!"

Zhang Yue smiled lightly when he heard this, but Xiang Qi coughed lightly.

This person immediately smiled knowingly and slapped a sloppy eye.

At this time, Seventeen Niang on the carriage said: "Sanlang, I'll be back first, don't be late."

Xiang Qiyi looked at the carriage in a daze, Zhang Yue explained: "The carriage is my wife."

Xiang Qi hurriedly said: "Damn, damn, I forgot that Mrs. Sister-in-law is here, don't hurry to leave before Du, I will tell you a few words of my own."

Zhang Yue secretly laughed, Shi Qi Niang called herself Sanlang, Xiang Qi said it was not easy to call him again, Zhang Yue knew Shi Qi Niang was always more accurate than himself in judging people, so he reminded himself tactfully.

Zhang Yue said: "Okay."

Xiang Qilazhang stepped aside and said with a smile: "I heard that you married the Wu family and married a beautiful wife, such a boudoir woman of generations of officials is very powerful."

Zhang Yue said in his heart, isn't that right, his wife is tight with money, and he doesn't know how much money the family has.

Zhang Yue said: "Didn't Brother Xiang also marry a woman from an official's family?"

Xiang Qi sighed: "Like a person who knows the temperature of drinking water, I used to stand up in the officialdom and act according to the face of the Yue family. But now that I have been appreciated by the nobles, the Yue family also depends on my face. Buying this house to please me, the world is so cold."

"Duzhi, do you know why you and I hit each other so well in Taixue? Because you and I are both from poor families, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say what I say from the bottom of my heart. Yes, do you know that Liu Zuo broke his family?"

Zhang Yue was startled when he heard this: "Liu Zuota?"

Xiang Qidao: "Duzhi, you are a noble man, how busy you are. Although I have been an official outside these years, I have always cared about him."

"I heard that he fired salt money. Not only did he gamble his fortune, but he also borrowed other people's money to use it, so that the debt collectors came to his door. He broke his head and is now lying unconscious on the bed. Old couple, oh..."

Xiang Qi did not look at Zhang Yue's expression and said: "Back then, Liu Zuo was too wealthy and greedy for profit. When he was in Taixue, he bought winter vegetables and charcoal for the dormitory. They sent the two of us out, and he and the shopkeeper were inside. Talking with each other, I got an unknown amount of benefits in secret, but for us it was just a bowl of soup and cakes."

"I didn't want to expose him when I was a classmate, so I let him go. In fact, I had expected him to have today, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable..."

Zhang Yue said: "People have come to this point, it is useless to say these things."

Xiang Qidao: "Duzhi is right, although I regard him as my best friend, but he never thinks highly of me..."

"But it was a classmate in the past, I asked you to visit his house together tomorrow, and help him pay off his debts, so that he can live a stable life for the rest of his life."

Zhang Yue said: "That should be the case. However, Liu Zuo's family has always been well-off. This time he broke up his family and probably owed a lot of money."

Xiang Qidao: "I've been an official all these years not for nothing."

Zhang Yue glanced at Xiang Qi, and asked Xiang Qi, "What's the matter?"

Zhang Yue sighed: "Brother Xiang, you and I come from ordinary backgrounds, and it took a lot of hard work to get to where we are today. But why did you and my classmates study in the past? It was for the sake of learning and being good at being an official, not for being good at being an official and being greedy!"

Xiang Qizuo said: "Duzhi, you also come to teach me the truth like this. There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book. Didn't you and I come to study for this? Otherwise, why did you and I eat it?" It’s so hard, I’ll look at people’s faces in a low voice.”

Zhang Yue said: "I have never found it hard to study, but I enjoy it, and I have never humbled myself to look at people's faces, but you want too much."

Xiang Qi waved his hand and said, "Duzhi, I know that you were born as the number one scholar, and you were given a post in the officialdom when you first entered the officialdom. After entering the Buddhist scriptures banquet, your journey was smooth. But I'm different from you... You don’t laugh at prostitutes! What you want, you have to give up what you want.”

"When I endured the humiliation of the Yue family and married a wife, Xiang Qi from the past died,"

Zhang Yue thought to himself that it might not be completely clean even if he ran an exchange office, so he didn't talk about it.

Xiang Qidao: "Duzhi, I know you don't like my group of friends, so I won't introduce you. Tomorrow, you and I will go to Liu Zuo's house together, and we can settle down in his house to urinate, other than that, I have no other intentions. "

Zhang Yue said: "Alright."
