Chu's Zhaohua

Chapter 46

Chu Chan didn't stop her this time, but stood aside and went through the matter.

There was news in Yecheng that they could buy an official. Mr. Zhou learned that he had told his father, but his father did not agree. Mrs. Zhou discussed it with her grandmother. Should be next.

Buying an official requires one piece of gold. For this piece of gold, there are probably eleven gold leaves on my mother, twenty on my grandmother, and some left on Zhou's body, but I'm afraid there are not many, so there are about fifty pieces. , so where did the remaining five gold leaves come from?

Chu Chan didn't think about this question for the time being, and continued to think downwards.

After collecting the money, my grandmother went to Yecheng with the Zhou family and paid the money. Not two days after returning, the Yecheng government came to arrest Dad, saying that it was related to the bribery incident.

Then the matter of buying an official must have been known by the people above, so as to arrest people.

Either the matter of buying an official was originally a game of the government, in order to collect money, and now arresting people is still for the sake of money, as long as enough fines are collected, Dad will be fine if he wants to come.

Chu Chan sorted out the matter, but she didn't feel relieved, so how much fine would she need?I'm afraid it's not a small amount.

Chu Chan looked up at Mrs. Zeng who was standing aside panting, and asked, "Grandmother, how did you get enough money to buy an official for Dad?"

Zeng's expression shrank, and he raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears, "I have twenty gold leaves on my body, your mother has eleven, and this broom star has twenty, and I will take the jade handed down by our ancestors." I pawned 45 gold leaves, and the remaining four pieces of money were borrowed from the surrounding neighbors.”

Hearing this, Chu Chan went back to the room and took the four coins and handed them to Zeng, "Grandmother, pay back the neighbors' four coins today. If any neighbors meet daddy in the morning and get arrested, grandma will say it's daddy." Go to the government to assist the case. If no one asks, don't say it."

Seeing the four coins in Chu Chan's hand, Zeng hesitated, "Now that your father is in need of money, wouldn't it be good to keep the four coins?"

Chu Chan shook her head, but looked at Zhou Shi, "Four money is of no help for my father's matter, and it's best not to let outsiders know about my father's arrest, otherwise it will have some impact on the elder brother, second brother and younger brother. "

If you want to have a future in this era, you rely on recommendations. Recommendations are based on a person's character and family background. This family background does not mean that you need a good family background, but a clean family background.If the news about Chu's father gets out, it will have the greatest impact on the sons of the Chu family.

Both Zeng's and Zhou's expressions changed. Zeng was concerned about his eldest brother and second brother, while Zhou was concerned about Chu Zhi's future.

Although she can't guarantee that this matter will not be reported, at least it's good not to make a big fuss now.

Chu Chan asked again, "Grandmother, did you let other people know about Dad buying an official?"

Zeng shook her head, "That's not true. After all, I can't be sure that I will buy it, so I didn't tell other people. When I borrowed money, I only said that something happened at home."

The four-pass money was not borrowed by the family, and now that the four-pass money is conceived, at least the neighbors around will not think about buying an official.

Chu Chan explained a few more words to Zeng, asking her to conceive the money, don't mention the money, and don't mention the father's matter if no one asks.

This matter is not only related to Chu's father, but also to several grandchildren. Naturally, Mrs. Zeng was cautious and took the money in person to return all the money from the surrounding neighbors.

After Mrs. Zeng left, Mrs. Zhou went back to her room in a state of embarrassment. Chu Chan raised her head and looked at Chu Zhen, who was pale. "Little sister, don't talk about Dad."
