Zhumen Hangui

Chapter 225 The Legendary Su Wenjing

Zhou Guanshi's monthly silver is 20 taels of silver per month, plus the dividends of the fried chicken shop, which is [-]% of the monthly net profit.

Last year, I got a total of more than 400 taels of silver, which is actually quite generous.

Even if he was in the Wen family before, his heyday was nothing more than that.

The son can give so much, one is to value his ability, and the other is to thank him for being able to go to him when he was in decline.

After arranging everything properly, Su Yizhao began to think about the previous audit.

She was not in a hurry, but caused a chatter.

"I heard that this year, the price of grain collected by the grain stores has dropped again and again, making people's lives even more difficult. Even if there is no drought, those grain stores have suppressed prices too hard."

Zhou Guanshi also frowned and sighed when he heard the words, "Yes! Since last year, the price of grain sold by the common people has been falling. But the rice noodles sold by the grain store have not fluctuated much."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rejoice at his original decision.If he hadn't defected to the son, the life of him and his family would not have been easy in the past few years.

"If the imperial court hadn't suppressed it, I'm afraid these people would have become even more rampant. It's a pity that the granary is only a little bit full compared to the previous two years, and those people are going to be monsters." Zhou Guanshi said helplessly and angrily.

"Yes! When the end of the year comes, the price of food will increase again." Su Yizhao nodded.

"Isn't it? It's not just food that has gone up, but everything else has gone up. It's just that everyone has some spare cash in their hands, so they are willing to spend it for the New Year!" Steward Zhou shook his head.

"Well! Even the medicinal materials have increased a lot!" Su Yizhao sighed and continued.

Steward Zhou's heart moved, and his eyes narrowed slightly, "The medicinal materials have indeed increased a lot, and wolfberry bears the brunt of it."

Su Yizhao hummed noncommittally, then picked up the tea bowl.

Zhou Guanshi raised his eyes and saw that Su Yizhao's face was normal, but his heart was pounding.

This shopkeeper Wang is really capable!While I was busy preparing for the makeup shop, did I find someone to fool me like this?
He had approached the long follower next to Master Qian, a drug dealer, and learned that the price was exactly the same as that recorded in the account book, so he didn't check it again.

That attendant must have been bought by shopkeeper Wang.

Manager Zhou only felt that his old face was hot. The young master trusted him so much and praised him only out of respect for him, but he gradually lost his sense of normalcy and thought highly of himself.

In the final analysis, it was because the young master's business had just begun, so he looked down upon it a little.

Thinking of his original intention, he couldn't help but feel ashamed.

"Earlier, shopkeeper Wang asked me to tell the young master that he often felt tired, presumably because his bones were not healthy, so he wanted to rest for a while, do you think?"

Zhou Guanshi looked up at Su Yizhao cautiously, but saw Su Yizhao's face full of surprise.

"So shopkeeper Wang still has a secret illness? You really shouldn't work too hard. You can handle these things yourself! But Wansu Pavilion still has to temporarily choose a temporary shopkeeper."

Su Yizhao's move can be said to kill three birds with one stone, it depends on whether Manager Zhou understands what she means.

"Yes!" Steward Zhou became more and more careful, and he didn't say he took the job, but instead asked someone else to take over.

This is to let the two fight, the son is a good fisherman and he will benefit!

When Guanshi went out of the yard, a gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver from the cold.

Only then did he realize that his back was already wet.

He shook his head and smiled wryly, the son is young, but the city is extremely deep.

It was his own fault for being beaten up today, and it was a way of saving him face.

Opening the red envelope given to him by the young master, he was shocked, it turned out to be a silver ticket of 100 taels.

Looking at another unsealed red envelope, Zhou Guanshi opened it without the slightest hesitation. The bank note said 50 taels.

Since he asked himself to wear a red seal and didn't seal it up, he deliberately showed it to himself.

Zhou Guanshi felt guilty because of Su Yizhao's trust and respect for him.

He climbed into the carriage and told the coachman to rush to Wansu Pavilion immediately.

The 29th day of the twelfth lunar month is the New Year’s Eve, and the [-]th day is the reunion night. It has been a custom since ancient times to have a reunion dinner.

It's just that there are many in-laws in the direct line of the Su family, and they have to stay at their respective homes for reunion on New Year's Eve, so five tables of banquets were arranged in advance on New Year's 29th, in order to entertain the married aunts.

Of course, those who are far away will naturally not be able to get together.

Grandpa Su looked at the flower hall full of children and grandchildren, and at this festive moment, his normally serious face could not help but smile.

"Today is New Year's Eve, and the married aunts and uncles have returned home for reunion one after another. Our Su Clan is barely complete today."

As the old man spoke, he glanced at his grandson-in-law Jiang Lianzhi who was sitting at the main table with him, and nodded involuntarily.

Then his eyes fell on the second child again, but his expression was slightly startled.

Su Yizhao's eyes also fell on one of the men at the main table. This man was dressed in a round-neck gown of brocade brocade in Chu color.

At this moment, his short goatee was trembling slightly, as if he was muttering something.

This person is the mysterious second master, Su Wenjing, whom Su Yizhao came to the Su family for more than two years and only met for the first time two days ago.

In the first year Su Yizhao came here, at the family banquet, he heard a discussion at the main table, saying that Su Wenjing's term of office expired at the end of the year, and I don't know if there will be a transfer.

It's a pity that two years ago, Su Wenjing stayed on as the magistrate of Wenshan County in Changbei Prefecture. I heard that Shangfeng gave him a medium rating.

Su Yizhao has been here for more than two years, so he naturally knows a lot about official affairs.

That year there was a plague of locusts in Wenshan County, and the people couldn't eat enough to eat, so they all fled to the neighboring state capital.

Such natural disasters are naturally not caused by human beings, but as the magistrate of Wenshan County, he is duty-bound.It is absolutely impossible to be promoted, and not to be demoted into exile, or even to take off the official hat, is already extraordinarily merciful.

Wenshan County is a place of bitter cold. Su Wenjing must have thought it through when he asked to work here.

The performance appraisal was average, it was because Shangfeng was looking at Su's face, otherwise it would really be impossible to let it go so easily.

It can only be said that Su Wenjing was unlucky, and no one can blame it.

However, Su Wenjing is not without merit. Su Wenjing made great efforts to resettle the people after the disaster and replant food.This is the main reason why he can stay in office.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that.Two years later, in the first few days, Su Wenjing received a transfer order from the Ministry of Officials.

Su Wenjing was promoted from county magistrate of Wenshan County, Changbei Prefecture, and transferred to Renzhi County, Wushui County, Linhang Prefecture.

Don't look at it as a county magistrate, but he is from the sixth rank. Isn't this a promotion to an official?
If you want to ask why the county magistrate of Wushui County is one level higher than the magistrate, then you have to talk about this Linhang mansion.

Linhang Mansion is the most affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain production here can be said to be twice that of the northern land.

Although Wushui County is only a county seat, Linhang Prefecture is a high-class prefecture, and Wushui County is much larger than ordinary small county towns, and it is also the place with the most abundant grain production in Linhang Prefecture.
