Qingchuan promotion rules in the backyard

Chapter 103
Fourth Master glanced at him and didn't explain.

Master Shi was also used to his temperament all the way. Although he was depressed, he still looked down at the account book in his hand obediently.

Of course, fourth master knew that nothing in this room could be found.As a man in two lifetimes, he is very clear about the doorway.But he can't just look for it secretly.

Speaking of which, Huang Ama didn't even have enough manpower when he came out on business this time.Apart from him, the tenth brother, and a few guards, there was no one else.It was also his first visit to the land of Yangzhou, and he was not familiar with the local officials, so it was hard to find a breakthrough.

He flipped through the account book in his hand, but he was guessing Kangxi's purpose this time.

Do you really want them to investigate and find out, or is it just to perfuse the prince?
In fact, he didn't quite understand why the prince had to reveal this matter.

The old eighth came once last year, but the matter was abandoned halfway, and they didn't know what to report to Kangxi when they finally returned to the palace.But what we can know is that at the end of the year, the magistrate of Yangzhou rated it excellent, which shows that Kangxi didn't want to make trouble here.

But what is the meaning of the prince mentioning this matter again and again?Is there someone else behind the scenes?

After thinking about it, the fourth master could make the prince think about it, but now there is no one else except the elder brother.

But with big elder brother's means, stretching out his hand so long now?No matter how you think about it, it doesn't feel right.

A thought flashed through fourth master's mind, but he thought it was impossible.

"Fourth brother, I can't understand here." Tenth Master suddenly said, interrupting Fourth Master's train of thought.

"Bring it here and let me see." Fourth Master raised his head and said.

Master Shi took it over and pointed to one place and asked: "This place doesn't seem right. Both are jewelry shops, and the standard of tax collection is the same, but the ratio I calculated seems to be wrong."

Fourth Master glanced at it, then turned to the front two pages to look at it, then looked back, and said, "This family has a reduction or exemption, because it donated money when there was a disaster."

"Oh, is that so?" Master Shi looked at both sides, nodded and said, "Really, I missed it."

"Look carefully next time." Fourth Master reminded.

"Oh." Master Shi nodded.

Those who dare to bring it in front of them so readily will not have any problems.He let Lord Shi watch it, but it was just to give him a chance to learn.

Two days later, fourth master and tenth master really didn't go out.Fang Zhifu secretly laughed.They are really two stupefied young men, who just shut themselves up to watch it foolishly, and can't see any problems after watching it for two months!

And the officials of Yangzhou city also knew that the fourth master and the tenth master had arrived in Yangzhou, so they asked Fang Zhifu to pay a visit.

Fang Zhifu didn't dare to make up his own mind, so he asked in person.

Fourth master replied with two words, "No see."

With a cold attitude, he blocked all Fang Zhifu's words.

There are two bald elder brothers who are so arrogant, which makes people dislike it.

Fang Zhifu truthfully relayed Si Ye's words, as for the local officials' displeasure after hearing it, it was out of his control.

Mao Chengyun is also one of them.Since this news is no longer kept secret, of course he followed the trend and prepared to meet the two elder brothers.This would say no, he felt a sense of relief.

He's not a sucker.I just want to do my own errands, get a salary, and support my family.

Just thinking that these older brothers are so arrogant, I don't know if my daughter will be angry with Ba Ye.After all, a little princess, the master can't refuse no matter what he wants.

That night, he called Mao Mingxuan to his study alone.

"Are you sure you want to participate in this year's Autumn?" Mao Chengyun asked.

"Of course, my son has already said it." Mao Mingxuan nodded affirmatively.

"Are you sure?" Mao Chengyun asked again.

"My son is working hard to get Jie Yuan." Mao Mingxuan's eyes were bright, and he had an aura of determination to win.

"Okay!" Mao Chengyun nodded gratified, "You have been able to read since you were a child, and I haven't bothered about it. You have always striven for it yourself. But now that your sister has entered the palace, I have to give you It's stressful."

"Ama doesn't say anything, but my son understands it in his heart." Mao Mingxuan said, "It's just, Ama, why did you suddenly bring this up?"

When he took the initiative to mention it at the beginning, Mao Chengyun advised him not to put too much pressure on himself, as long as he can be promoted to be an official in the court.Today, he has even greater expectations for him, which is obviously stimulated by something.

"If you are promising, your sister can rely on you. You, Ama, are upright. You can only bury your head in work and don't know how to make money. You won't have much future in this life." Mao Chengyun said.

"Ama, why should you belittle yourself." Mao Mingxuan frowned slightly, "People will always see you if you do business in a down-to-earth manner."

"Instead of passively waiting for others to find out, it's better to take the initiative." Mao Chengyun said.

Mao Mingxuan agreed with this, nodded, and said, "Don't worry, Ama, my son will live up to his expectations."

Mao Chengyun felt relieved.This son of his has always kept his word.He said that he should try his best to solve the yuan, and that would probably be no problem.

And Mao Mingxuan went back to his yard, and read late at night with the lights on again before going to bed.

Since he made a decision in his heart to participate in Qiuwei in advance, he didn't work harder than before.Even the master of the academy advised him not to use too much force.But he knew that in order to be foolproof, he had to be fully prepared.

He is a person who does not fight unprepared battles. Now that he has made a decision, he must do it.

Chen didn't know about the agreement between the father and son, but he also found out that his son had lost weight recently.Although summer is bitter every year, I have never lost weight so badly.After asking the boy who served Mao Mingxuan, he found out that it was because of studying hard day and night.

Apart from being distressed, she did not persuade.The son has grown up and knows what he knows.As a mother-in-law, all she can do is support her, and let the kitchen cook more nourishing soup so that he doesn't lose his body.

Mao Tongtong, who was far away in the Chengde Mountain Resort, did not know the efforts made by the Mao family for her.She had just completed the purse that was robbed by the eighth master halfway.

"Master, do you still like it?" Mao Tongtong handed it to Master Ba.

She put all her heart into choosing the material and matching the color of this purse. Although Ba Ye had seen a lot of good embroidery work, he still had to praise Mao Tongtong's embroidery for being really good.

Immediately, Ba Ye untied the purse from his waist and replaced it with the one embroidered by Mao Tongtong.

"That's right, you should embroider two more for Grandpa." Eighth Master said boldly.

Mao Tongtong put his hand under Ba Ye's eyelids, and said with a bit of coquettishness: "Is it okay for the servants to rest for two days? I haven't embroidered for a long time and I am rusty, and I have pierced several needle holes!"

A pair of white and tender hands appeared in front of Ba Ye, and there were two very small needle holes on the index finger of his left hand.
