Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 607
"You dog slave, you're so troublesome, if outsiders don't know, you'll still think I'm the king who loves to take advantage of it!" Yaerjiang frowned, stretched out his foot, and kicked Cui Fei who was kneeling on the ground.

Cui Fei didn't dare to hide, he was kicked upside down, his ankle was twisted, but he didn't dare to make a sound.

"Hmph, you need to have a long memory in the future. If you play smart again, the master's whip has not been used for a long time." Yaerjiang said coldly.

Cui Feiru was pardoned, but he knew that his father cared about saving face the most, and it was better to get kicked twice than not to win the bid.On the face, he wanted to cry bitterly, and said in a mournful voice: "My lord, I have suffered from this little one, my little lard has covered my heart, and I will never dare to act recklessly again."

"Cao Yong, this boy has two tricks." Yaerjiang Ah muttered, and said to Cui Fei: "There is no second encounter, you just need to remember it long, otherwise don't blame me for not remembering the old love. Cao's side, you have suffered Enhui, I will prepare a thank you gift and find a chance to give it. Remember, you are not allowed to play tricks in the name of the master."

Yaerjiang's words were harsh, but he was very happy in his heart.

In addition to Cui Fei, who won [-]% of the drink share, and [-]% of the tea ceremony in Mongolia, the Kang family is also filial to the palace.

When Cui Fei went out, Yaerjiang sat on the chair, but he was thinking about Cao Yong's usual silent appearance.

But the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this kid was the master of "pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger", and he was different from anyone he had ever met before.Bisheng is so young, but he is neither arrogant nor impetuous, which makes people not feel bored
A smile appeared on the corner of Yaerjiang's mouth, wondering if he should find a reason to invite Cao Yong over for a drink.

He was thinking of some excuse when he heard a timid voice from the door: "Cousin..."

Yaerjiang'a restrained his smile when he heard the words, his face became a little impatient, and said, "Come in."

The outside responded in a low voice, and it was Yarjan Ah's cousin Namin who came in.

"What's the matter again? I heard someone chewing their tongue, or is there a servant who is not disciplined?" Seeing her timid appearance, Yarjana was very tired in his heart, but he still asked patiently.

Namin shook her head quickly, squeezed the handkerchief in her hand, and said in a low voice: "No, no, yes... In half a month, it will be my cousin's birthday. My sister is thinking about what kind of gift to prepare, which can be regarded as a gift to her." Cousin-sister-in-law apologizes..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and at the end of the sentence, she began to cry.

Yaerjiang only felt more and more irritable, waved his hand, and said, "If you don't do your business, why should you pay for it? She is a generous person, hasn't she already tidied up the yard and arranged for you? You are still young , is still on the roster of show girls. Wait for the next draft, and I will give you an exemption, and then ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to seal it."

"Biao sister-in-law, she's annoyed me..." Namin choked up and said, "Since... since that day, cousin-in-law has moved to live in the warm pavilion..."

Yaerjiang Ah Yin listened with a gloomy face, but remained silent for a while.

"My cousin doesn't pay attention to me anymore, my cousin doesn't go to the inner courtyard either, Wu's and Jin's eyes look at me wrongly, so they just make fun of me in their hearts..." The more Namin spoke, the more wronged she became, her small face shrunk into a ball , Tears and snot came out.

But Yaerjiang couldn't feel pity and pity, and frowned: "I'm not a child anymore, why are you still crying? Master is still busy with official duties, so don't come to the study if you have nothing to do in the future. You will also do it in the future." Master of the mansion, if you have something to report to the servants, you must not respect your identity, and don’t make people laugh. If you are bored, after two days of the temple fair, let Yiergenjueluoshi take you out for a walk."

Namin sobbed in response, and muttered a few more words to make sure that it was not a lie that she arranged for someone to take her out to play, so she wiped her tears and went out.

Yarjan Ah sat on the chair and said to himself: "When is her birthday?"

But he remembered vaguely, thinking about the drunken sex, Yaerjiang Ah felt uncomfortable, but he was also very innocent.

It's just drinking too much wine, it's not sincere, and it's not a crime.

Although he didn't speak soft words, he directly assigned several Zhuangzi that his mother married as a dowry to Zhener's name, which can be regarded as an indirect apology.

The partial birth Fujin was still lukewarm, without the slightest hint of joy.

Woman, it's really troublesome, Yaerjiang only feels upset and irritable, and doesn't want to think about it...

*
Different from the gloom in Yaerjiang's family, Fudefang is full of joy.

This is a hotel by the seaside of Shicha, a well-known shop in the inner city, and it is the business of a head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Now, it is the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother who are hosting a banquet for the officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, also to celebrate the successful completion of this bidding.

I ordered a table of sea cucumbers with three taels of silver, and everyone praised it.

Although no matter how much money is credited, there is nothing wrong with everyone, and it is necessary to enter the household department and internal treasury, but after all, after half a month of busy work, thinking about the figures heard shadowily after the bidding, it can't help but make people feel smug.

Even if there is no credit, there is hard work.

From now on, everyone's backs can be straightened.Who said they were just the emperor's servants, doing some trivial errands?

Which yamen in the Great Qing Dynasty, like the Ministry of Internal Affairs, spent two months of effort to make such a fuss and raise all this money?
Everyone couldn't help but feel complacent, looking at the elegant room door where Cao Yong was, their eyes were full of eagerness.

According to the rules, for this bidding, Cao Yong is going to hand over the booklet.Who has any credit, shouldn't it also be listed in the notebook?

Thinking about the news from Taipu Temple earlier, Cao Yong treated his subordinates very well. Not only did he not greedy for the merits of the subordinates, but he was also willing to promote them, so many people had hope.

After seeing Yi Duli smiling like a flower and toasting with a hoarse voice, those subordinate officials who originally wanted to be a fool made up their minds and hugged Cao Yong's thigh backwards, following this The manager is confused.

Cao Yong sat in the private room, besides the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother, Ma Qi and He Yi were sitting at the same table.

Wine is good wine, banquet is good banquet, everyone is smiling, but eating is not as lively as outside.

Ma Qi drank two cups, then said that he was old and unable to drink, so he asked sixteenth elder brother and seventeenth elder brother to forgive their sins, and left.

He Yi couldn't talk to the others, seeing Ma Qi leave the table, he found an excuse and left together.

Only Cao Yong, sixteenth elder brother, and seventeenth elder brother were left in the private room, but they were more comfortable than before.

Elder Seventeen leaned back in the chair, showing a little lacklustre, and said, "Brother Sixteen, Fu Ruo, you two eat delicious food, so I won't accompany you. I'm so tired, I really don't have much appetite .”

The sixteenth elder brother glanced at Cao Yong, saw that his eye circles were slightly blue, and he was not energetic, so he said: "There are no outsiders, what are you doing with this Lao Shizi?" What an appetite.

He turned around and told Zhao Feng, "Send a message to the kitchen to cook some porridge and serve some light side dishes. Well, I want the bamboo shoot tips in sesame oil, and radish sprouts in cold salad."

Zhao Feng went down, Elder Sixteen looked at Cao Yong and said, "You're just pretending, you didn't sleep well yesterday? In fact, there's nothing to be afraid of, so what if you fail the filming? It's not about you The one who climbed up has now become the monkey grandson in the Tathagata's Buddha's hand, and it is too late to run away."

Cao Yong was hiding something in his heart last night, so he was a little excited and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.

But it's not about bidding. Sometimes, a man's dignity is above everything else.

Thinking of the absurdity of last night, Cao Yong couldn't help feeling a little hot, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he forgot to answer for a moment.

The sixteenth elder brother saw Cao Yong's strange face, raised his eyebrows, and said: "What's the matter, are you silly with joy?"

Hearing the words, Cao Yong felt like waking up from a dream, and said with a smile: "Although it is reasonable, I am quite satisfied in my heart. If I can do better, it will be a great kindness."

The seventeenth elder brother was beside him, glanced at Cao Yong, and said: "If people's hearts are not enough, Fu Ruo should be satisfied? If you want to do better, you are not afraid of being plated with gold, and people will directly regard you as the God of Wealth Give it up."

Elder Sixteen frowned and said: "Fu Ruo, you are not a showy person, don't take pictures of this moment, be careful to bury trouble."

After Cao Yong finished speaking, he knew that he had made a slip of the tongue.

What he said was not the same as what Brother Sixteen and Brother Seventeen were worried about.

It's just that it's hard to explain. He could only say vaguely, "It's not that he's dissatisfied with the amount of the bidding, but he feels that there are still many deficiencies. It's easy to make mistakes. Fortunately, the sixteenth master and the seventeenth master cared and left me The back road. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, I really can't bear to walk around."

Only then did Brother Sixteen relax his eyebrows and nodded: "It's good if you know how to be afraid, I'm afraid you'll be overwhelmed. If you know how to be afraid, you won't get carried away. This time, the limelight is getting a little bigger. , I'm afraid they are waiting to see your jokes, not one or two."

While speaking, Zhao Feng had already returned, followed by two waiters who served the dishes, bringing over porridge and side dishes.

The table was cleaned up quickly, and the food was arranged again. The seventeenth elder brother followed up on the sixteenth elder brother's words, and said: "Speaking of feeling sour, like Brother Nine, he offended you very much this time, so be careful; like Ma Qitong He Yi, the two of them, looked a little uncomfortable."

Cao Yong knew it in his heart and said: "I will write the booklet at night, and these two adults will also be listed on the booklet. Hold it high, if they are not happy, then I have nothing else to do, I can only let them .”

Brother Sixteen showed a bit of contempt on his face, and said: "Don't look at them putting on airs, as if they are so noble, shit. This drooping dead face is just because you have accomplished a big thing by yourself, and it seems that they are It's a waste snack. I can see it, the more you call yourself a scholar, the more you want to be famous..."

Cao Yong listened while gently stirring the porridge bowl in front of him with a spoon.

Porridge is divided into sweet porridge and salty porridge. The sweet one is the champion porridge, and the salty one is preserved egg and lean meat porridge.

Brother Sixteen has known Cao Yong for a long time, and he knows the small taboos in his diet. This porridge uses green japonica rice, which smells fragrant.

What Cao Yong served was preserved egg and lean meat porridge, which was very sweet when eaten with the tops of bamboo shoots.

After eating a bowl of porridge, Cao Yong felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach.

Brother Seventeen was beside him, already pinching his fingers, counting several big bidding projects today, and muttering: "There are five bids of more than 100 million. The latter two scores are good. All of a sudden, it turned out to be a lot more money than I thought before. However, didn’t it mean that Brother Thirteen’s business also came to bid, why didn’t I hear anything?”

Elder Sixteen nodded, and said, "Yes, I can't complain that I always feel that I have missed something. Fu Ruo, we seem to be busy and forgot about Brother Thirteen. This is because of Yaerjiang's face. If Brother Thirteen doesn’t take care of him, it’s not justified.”

"You two masters don't have to worry about this. The thirteenth master sent a capable shopkeeper here. He is not conspicuous and won [-]% of the trade volume of Nanyang trade." Cao Yong replied after hearing the words.

Just after the bidding was over, Cao Yong had asked someone to call Wang Lusheng to ask, and the answer was just that.

The money Wang Lusheng could use was more than enough, so he jointly bid with Zheng Woxue, and the two companies shared [-]% of the trade volume in Nanyang.

When Cao Yong explained the cause and effect clearly, the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother were dumbfounded.

"The half of the 150 million is 75. Brother Thirteen... Brother Thirteen has only had ample life in the past two years. It's okay to say that it's 75 or [-], but you can also make up for [-] or [-]; [-], you can’t get it all together!” Elder Seventeen asked puzzledly: “The one who made the decision is the female shopkeeper of Brother Thirteen’s house? She has a good appetite, but she doesn’t weigh the weight over there. .”

Brother Sixteen gave Cao Yong a glance and said: "You have become a bole. Where did you find such a capable woman? She has mustered all her strength, and she has the meaning of being a woman. She can be so still. Swallowing [-]% of the deal with sensuality is a capable person."

It is true that Zheng Woxue has ideas, but judging from his usual behavior, he is honest and prudent.

With this idea this time, there should be countermeasures.

In addition to the 13 bid by Yang Mingchang in the past, when Zheng Woxue left the bead field, Cao Yong also asked someone to give her a few boxes of high-quality beads.I heard that during those years in Guangzhou, she sometimes did some business, and presumably there was some profit.

Calculated in this way, Zheng Woxue has a private house of almost 20 taels of silver.

Even so, the distance from the tender price of 70 taels of silver is much worse.

For the rest, what will Zheng Woxue think?
...

With this question, Cao Yong came out of Fudefang, did not go back to the mansion directly, but went to the thirteenth elder brother's mansion with the sixteenth elder brother and the seventeenth elder brother.

Elder Brother Thirteen was very happy to see them coming, and said: "I heard that the bidding went very well, and your hard work is not in vain. It's hard for you to come here. In a few days, our fifth child will be full moon, and we are thinking about it." Send someone to send you invitations."

Brother Seventeen tilted his head, and said, "Brother Thirteen, you can still laugh. Could it be that the female shopkeeper in your house hasn't come back yet? You don't know the details yet?"

Brother Thirteen heard this, and said with a smile: "I've come back early, after all, I didn't misunderstand the person, he is capable. In the whole capital, I am afraid that there will be no more such capable women."

I don't know why, when listening to Brother Thirteen, Han Jiang's appearance in men's clothing appeared in front of Cao Yong's eyes.

*
Nancheng, the Cheng family's private residence.

Han Jiang's face was filled with pleading: "Fourth Uncle, can you really help your niece? If you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to make money like this again."

Cheng Mengkun waved his hand and said, "Wen Qi, it's not that uncle doesn't want to help you. Now that the Cheng family has monopolized the Eros business road, I don't know how many people are jealous. If you still carry money out at this time, it's too flamboyant. You are a little girl , live a good life, the money your parents left you is enough for you to chew on for several lifetimes, so why bother..."

*
The list goes up and down, and the heart trembles.It's the middle of the month, let's order. If you don't keep it all, you will have a monthly pass. Thank you Xiaojiu.
