Mrs. Pinqiao

Chapter 48
The relic that Ning Zimo mentioned was contained in a hollow carved box. The craftsmanship of this box alone is not affordable for ordinary people. When you open it, there is another box inside, a round box carved with colored glass. Divide the upper and lower parts into two parts, and then open it, it is the legendary relic.

"I heard that the eminent monk passed away and cremated, and the skin and bones were all melted. There is only one thing that does not increase or decrease, and the whole body glows. It is offered to the temple. It can prosper the family and business, and everything will go smoothly, so it is a relic."

Tan Su took it out, it was only the size of a fingernail, and it seemed to be covered with something. When he held it up to the light, he could see faint bloodshot inside. Tan Su exclaimed, "I seem to see the light of Buddha!"

"Huh?" Ning Zimo was a little surprised, and moved his head closer, "Where is it?"

"Here, here! I really saw it!"

Ning Zimo narrowed his eyes, but still saw nothing. Even if he was facing the light, there was nothing wrong with what he saw before.

Tan Su looked very excited, squinting his eyes to look left and right, and couldn't put it down, "Master Xiang! This is really a relic, and the Buddha Lord has appeared! I saw the Buddha's light, does it mean that I will be lucky in the future and will be promoted step by step? ?”

Ning Zimo never believed in Buddhism, but was amused by Tan Su, he rarely saw her childish side, holding a pea-sized object, like picking up a treasure.When he was in a good mood, he pointed at the fan and said, "I see you off."

Tan Su didn't recover a bit, and looked at him stupidly, "Send me off?"

Ning Zimo narrowed his smile, "Since you can see the Buddha's light, it means that you are destined for it, so I might as well give it to you."

Tan Su's eyes widened all of a sudden, shining brightly, "Really?"

"really."

"Master Xiang, you are so kind to me!" Tan Su was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, "Tan Su would like to stand on the saddle for Master Xiang, and he will never hesitate to die..."

"Okay." Ning Zimo's fan hit her on the head, and he winked, "Hold it back and put it away."

"Dele!" Tan Su quickly put it into the box, hugged it into his arms, and ran away in a hurry, for fear that he would regret it.

Qi Bing said with a cold face, "Master Xiang, it was sent by Lou Shangshu."

"I know." Ning Zimo waved his fan lazily, nonchalantly, "Lou Qiong is trying to curry favor with me, it depends on whether I accept it or not."

Qi Bingyan said concisely, "He's too greedy."

What Ning Zimo thought of, "Every year before winter, he has to hand over the account book. Have you checked this year's book? Does it match what you checked?"

"Some discrepancies."

"How much discrepancy."

"Nearly 200 million taels."

Ning Zimo sneered, shaking his fan, "I know that Lou Qiong is greedy, he relied on me to climb to the position of the household department, and now he wants to eat the big head."

"Then Xiangye..."

Ning Zimo closed the fan and put it on the table with a "snap", "Who is the servant of the household department?"

"It's Yan Yizhao."

"How is this person?"

"As timid as a mouse, greedy for life and afraid of death."

Ning Zimo closed his eyes, and let out a deep breath, "It seems that the Ministry of Household Affairs needs a big change."

After Tan Su put away her things, she followed him over, asking Ning Zimo if he would drink tea, and then asking Ning Zimo if he would rub his legs. If he said no, she would immediately hold her chin Said: "Master Xiang, let me tell you a joke."

He had heard Tan Su speak eloquently, but never heard her tell jokes. Ning Zimo looked at her with a smile on his brows, "Let's listen."

"A few days ago, I passed by the household department and heard two new officials muttering there, saying that Lou Shangshu eats dozens of taels for a meal, and only gives them a few taels. I thought it was interesting, so I said that I had seen Lou Shangshu with my own eyes. They talked about me as if they were my own when I went to the brothel. One said that Lou Shangshu asked him to make a fake account of 30 yuan and only gave him three taels of money. The other said that Lou Shangshu bought it for 30 taels. The concubine still has to bargain, and the wife doesn’t give even two taels of silver for clothes.”

"Knowing that these words were heard by Lou Shangshu, he was so angry that he dismissed those two people immediately and dragged me in to be executed with a stick. I took out the token and said that I belonged to the Xiangye. If he wanted to go to Xiangye to speak ill of him, he immediately turned pale with fright, knelt down and begged for mercy, and said that he was willing to give me a little money to compensate me, then took out money from his pocket and held it in front of me. I saw, It turned out to be two taels of silver!"

Tan Su herself laughed first, "He's not afraid of me getting angry! He made a fake account of 30 yuan, but he couldn't even get three taels of silver. I've never seen such a stingy person. He wants money but doesn't want his life!"

The smile on Ning Zimo's face deepened, and he took a sip of tea meaningfully, "That's right, this kind of person wants money rather than life."

"In these three provinces, six departments and nine temples, everyone knows that the household department is the most lucrative. He has been in this position for four or five years, and he has been greedy for at least 80 million yuan. If he is more courageous, he can greedy for more than 100 million yuan."

Ning Zimo smiled inscrutablely, "Susu doesn't know him well enough, he's more courageous than you can imagine."

Tan Su was amused, "Could it be possible to be greedy for four or five million yuan? This year's tax revenue is only tens of millions, and this fake account must be made into a book..."

Ning Zimo suppressed his smile, and seemed to be talking to himself, "Hearing what you said, I really think he is too greedy."

Tan Su couldn't understand, and looked at him.

"It's just the beginning of winter this year, so if you calculate it, you'll have an income of 200 million yuan. This courage is really overwhelming." Ning Zimo smiled as he spoke, and shook his head, "How dare you be more courageous than me?" .”

"Master Xiang is talking about Lou Shangshu?"

Ning Zimo noticed Tan Su and stared at her for a while, "How are you doing the bill?"

Tan Su smirked twice and narrowed her eyes, "As long as it's about money, Tan Su can do anything."

"It's a suitable candidate." Ning Zimo nodded slightly, looking serious, "It seems that I have to write a note, maybe you can catch up with the national exam in February next year."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and unfolded the memorial, "Susu, help me wash my pen and ink."

Tan Su cautiously lay on the edge of the desk, staring at him with open eyes, "Is Xiangye going to write a book so that women can also take the scientific examination?"

He nodded.

"Does Xiangye mean that I can be an official?"

Ning Zimo had a smile in his eyes, "Yes."

Tan Su still stared at him blankly, without any reaction.

"What? Didn't you always want to be an official?"

She still looked at him blankly, "The relic is so effective, it feels like a dream."

Ning Zimo reached out and pinched her face so hard that Tan Su jumped up, "Is it still a dream?"

Tan Su covered her face and shook her head honestly.

Ning Zimo laughed angrily.
