Yixiangting was originally said to be not ranked in the capital at all, but in Gaoli, it is at most second- and third-rate!But since the emperor hit the top here once, and was lucky enough to take a picture of the golden bell, he suddenly became famous and expensive in Luoyang.Since then, the boss of the rich family, the playboy of the official family, and the gangster who wants to pick up a cheap one.In short, good and bad, good and bad, tall and short, fat and thin, poor and rich, smart and stupid, everyone has it, and everyone wants to be a little spiritual, blessed and immortal.Water lifts the boat high, people lift people high, and eggs lift the body high. Suddenly, Yixiang Pavilion became the famous sweet pastry in Hecheng.

It's not the first time for Huang Wenjia to come to the capital, but it's not that time, let alone visit such a high-end kiln, even if he is one or two lower grades, he doesn't dare, because he is so shy that he can't afford it!Of course it is different now, he is a fourth-rank official in the imperial court, the highest judge in the country, with an annual salary of [-] shi, not counting silver rewards, bribes, commissions and kickbacks.Why spend so much money?How much can you eat and how much can you wear?To him, ten taels of silver used to be an astronomical figure, but now it is a matter of picking one's teeth.However, he is still a little hard to open his mouth right now, the first batch of payment has not yet come down.I don't know if it was because the Holy Majesty was negligent or didn't understand the regulations at all, so he only issued the imperial decree of appointment, but there was no news of the approval of the salary.Lao Huang neither dared to urge nor asked. Every morning, he always stretched out his ears and waited for the emperor to publicly announce the payment of the salary, but it was always in vain.Dali Temple has some public funds, and the predecessor squandered some (it’s hard to say whether it was corrupt or not). The day before yesterday, the two prodigal prime ministers invited the prisoner Pan Youan to drink, and spent a lot of money.There is not much left when he comes here, because he is a newcomer, and he dare not let go of his hands and feet to make a fortune. Although he has the right to embezzle all the funds in the monastery (court), he must not be too bold.From this calculation, Mr. Huang’s pockets are not sufficient, so he has to save money in order to maintain his current ostentation (the scope of entertaining guests is very wide, especially the relationship network like Ning Wujia, giving gifts to superior officials, and entertaining relevant people etc.), he is a newcomer, and it will take time and money to weave his web well.

There are some things that can’t be done with a small amount of money, just like the last time the eunuch in the palace came to announce some supplementary notices about his appointment, he personally handed over a one hundred tael silver note to the eunuch who announced the decree, unexpectedly The lottery man actually threw the banknote in front of him in public, kicked the money viciously and gave him a fierce look.He has always been puzzled by this: Is it because of the lack of money or the refusal to bribe?

It was agreed to be ten taels of silver, and Mr. Huang was afraid that he would make a fool of himself if it wasn't enough, so he took another ten taels just in case.

Yixiangting didn't give him special greetings for his visit, and the doorman Gui* who was guarding the door only gave him a symbolic nod.The prostitutes in the hall did not line up to welcome him, the number one person in charge of legal affairs in the country, especially the old prostitute, what is so great about the game, I am using money to prostitute fans and not watching it on a sunny day The sun---day.

Huang Wenjia walked in with her head held high, and the proprietress finally came over. When she saw the clothes, she immediately put on a smile, and then said a lot of Chinese New Year words:

"Oh, my lord, why did you come here? The young lady has been waiting for you for a long time. I didn't reserve a seat for you. There is no free time now."

Huang Wenjia's official position is not small, but it's his first time here, so he doesn't understand many rules and ways.But the thing is that it was booked earlier, and the money was paid in advance.Huang Wenjia reported the name of the pimp, and the old man immediately changed his eyebrows and eyes, and said in shock:

"Oh, you are Mr. Huang! Disrespect and disrespect, please go upstairs!" This involves personal privacy, and the old man can only point to the end. According to the industry rules, the client's secrets must not be leaked.

After the proprietress finished speaking, she walked straight over, took Huang Wenjia's arm with both hands, and personally escorted the elder to the guest room.

There were already four fancy-dressed Fendai ladies in the guest room. Lao Huang glanced at them with the corners of his eyes and felt a shock in his heart. He was secretly surprised: This is not a prostitute from Goulan Courtyard, it is so clear It is the goddess from the sky descending to earth!If you can benefit from this time, death in this life is enough!But it was a pity that he was short of money and did not bring enough money. In addition to the ten taels paid in advance, he had another twelve taels.Such a stunning girl, 20 taels might not be able to get rid of her?I don't know if the Goulan Court can issue an invoice?Of course, he can promise that if there is a lawsuit in the court in the future, within the scope of his authority, he can completely lenient the net, let go of what should be released, and not arrest what should be arrested, so that they can rest assured to file a lawsuit.However, these words have no chance to be said and cannot be brought to the table!

There is no copper in Lao Huang's waist, and he can't speak well, and his waist is not too hard. The only "acquaintance" here is the old man.Speaking of this, I don't blame others for this matter. It was agreed that ten taels of silver would be paid for one night. As for the extra three, it might be that the neighbors came over to chat.Lao Huang had the courage to clear his throat, mobilized his whole face to show [-]% hospitality, grinned and said:

"Good evening, fairies!"

The strange thing is that these laughing girls only care about their own words, and none of them pay attention to him.Although he brought little money, he was still a fourth-rank court official after all, how did he fall to such a point?After thinking about it, this is a place of style, no matter rich or poor, high or low, official position, only talk about money.He didn't show his attitude, how much silver did he have in his pocket, how could he negotiate with him?Thinking about it this way, Judge Huang once again brewed his emotions again, still with that smile, and said awkwardly:

"Dear fairies, Xiaosheng just went out in a hurry and didn't bring any extra silver taels. I have paid ten taels in advance, and now I still have ten taels on hand. But you can discuss this matter with the cabinet, and the insufficient part will be sent in full tomorrow morning Yes, I hope all the fairies put their hearts in their stomachs, this little boy promises that there will be no mistakes."

"What are you doing here?" A woman with fair skin and blond hair asked him coldly without looking at him.

While listening, Lao Huang took the opportunity to glance at the woman, and thought to himself: There are Hu girls here, and Hu girls are also so lustful?This time it seems that I can also have a foreign addiction.Just about to answer, it doesn't taste right at first glance, the only job in Goulan Courtyard is that, what else can you do if you don't engage in skin*meat business?Thinking about it carefully, Lao Huang Ziyuan thought to himself that maybe there was something wrong with the money, and the foreign girl probably meant that you didn’t bring enough money, what are you doing here?Lao Huang was also a poor man in the early days. He often worried about such things as daily necessities, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar.Also, you get what you pay for, a stunning beauty like the one in front of you may not be able to spend ten or eight taels of silver, and the most conservative estimate based on the current market price may cost a hundred taels of silver for one night.To be honest, according to his current official position, he shouldn't have to worry about money. It's because the emperor is careless in his work, his salary is not linked to his position, his salary is not adjusted when he is promoted, or he is paid after he is promoted. What can he do if the money is not in place?He couldn't go to the palace to ask the emperor for a salary in person, could he?
