In the small study room of the Xia family, a lamp is as bright as a bean.
Xie Yufei and Peng Ziqi are busy under the lamp.
Peng Ziqi closed a camphor wood box and said, "I've counted it twice. There are a hundred items in this box."
Xie Yufei grabbed the abacus and shook it, then started playing with it, muttering something in her mouth: "One hundred pieces, one tael per piece, one tael of gold is worth five taels of silver, one tael of silver is worth one thousand two hundred and sixty.
Shiwen..."
Xie Yufei fiddled with her fingers so fast that it was dazzling. When she calculated the numbers, she was like a little fox that had stolen two chickens. She laughed evilly: "How about it? I guessed it right. I just changed it."
When it was turned into gold, one tael of silver was worth exactly one tael. We exchanged one thousand and fifty cents for one tael. Now on the market, it is one thousand, two hundred and sixty cents for one tael of silver. It is even higher on the black market. It has only been a few days.
We have at least six hundred strings."
Peng Ziqi's eyes widened and he said, "Really or not? It's only been a few days, my God, I've made much more than the annual harvest of our good paddy fields."
Xie Yufei said proudly: "It's needless to say that I'm going to take action."
Peng Ziqi said happily: "That's great, thank you. You are really the God of Wealth in our family. In my opinion, you can handle the accounting room for our family."
Xie Yufei glared at her and said, "Hey, are you really planning to use me as your family's cash cow?"
Peng Ziqi smiled and said: "What's your family and my family? When you come over for the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, we will be one family."
She hugged Xie Yufei's shoulders and shook her head: "Okay? Okay? My head hurts from taking care of the account. I can leave this job to you from now on. With your good skills, I don't think my husband has to do it."
Such a hard-working official has been working hard all day long, and our family can just sit down and eat and drink as much as we want, which will last us a lifetime..."
Xie Yufei was not a martial artist, and Peng Ziqi was very strong. She was so happy that she shook him without knowing the severity. He was so dizzy that his slender waist was about to break. He quickly yelled: "Stop, stop, keep shaking.
Your accountant will be tortured to death by you."
"Haha! Then you agreed?"
Peng Ziqi laughed, then let go of Xie Yufei, made a face at her, smiled close to her ear and said: "Look at your body, you are so timid, how can you do that, he is very powerful, when the time comes...
"
Peng Ziqi chirped and thanked her. Yu Fei's face felt hot and her heartbeat was beating. She quickly covered her ears and said: "Go, go, I won't listen. You are not ashamed or ashamed. You dare to say anything."
Peng Ziqi said: "Oh, you must be ashamed. Okay, when you pass through the door, you are not allowed to fight with me."
Xie Yufei became anxious and said with her almond-shaped eyes widened: "Why? We have agreed that you will be in the first grade of junior high school and I will be in the fifteenth grade!"
Peng Ziqi chuckled and said, "Can you do it?"
Xie Yufei rolled her eyes at her and said, "You don't need to worry about it." She rolled her eyes, lowered her voice, and whispered, "Let me tell you, my daughter is born with a hunchback and can adapt...
Adaptation..., well, it has nothing to do with whether you practice martial arts or not."
Peng Ziqi asked curiously: "Who said it is true or false?"
Xie Yufei puffed up her chest and said, "Of course, my master said so."
Peng Ziqi sighed and said: "Your master is really good. He teaches you all these things. My mother never teaches me anything..."
During the period when Xia Xun was away, Xie Yufei came over to chat with Peng Ziqi whenever she had time, or they went to the chicken coop downtown area in Jinling City to buy some things for her daughter's home.
Before Xia Xun left, he had already asked his family to sell their property. Manager Xiao always felt a little confused about the strange arrangements of the young master. Seeing that the dozens of acres of good paddy fields purchased by his family had a good harvest, Xiao Xiao
The steward was very distressed. Looking at this arrangement, he thought that the young master was moving again. Looking at the newly built residence, he felt reluctant to leave it from the bottom of his heart. Therefore, although Peng Ziqi gave the order, he lingered and refused.
Find someone to deal with it.
Later, Xie Yufei told him that their young master was working as an errand of the Imperial Guard, and sometimes it was inevitable that he would be ordered by the court to do confidential matters that were not suitable for others to know, so just follow the young master's instructions. The young master was now an official.
, do a few more important things, and then you can become a high official in the future. By then, the Yang family will be more proud and proud, and the ancestors will be honored. Why be so petty and petty? Guanshi Xiao then dealt with it as he said.
When Xia Xun came back, except for this house, other properties had been quietly disposed of without knowing it. Xie Yufei was such a calculating person. Although Xia Xun never told her clearly what was going to happen, she never told her what was going to happen.
Xia Xun guessed from his tone that something very important might happen in the imperial court. Since it was so important in the imperial capital, it would be a big turmoil to sell off the family property and exchange it for frivolous wealth.
Although Xia Xun's position is not high, she is in the center. It is not uncommon to get such confidential information. She is a very courageous girl. She simply sold all the properties in her family that could be sold and notified her master. Wait until
All the property that could be disposed of was sold off, and Xie Yufei turned to the black market again and exchanged all the treasures for gold and silver.
The imperial court does not allow the circulation of gold and silver, but once trouble occurs, the treasure banknotes will inevitably depreciate in value. In the past, when the political situation of the court was turbulent, there were times when the treasure banknotes were no longer so valuable. The clever Xie Yufei exchanged all the treasure banknotes.
Jinyin also advised Peng Ziqi to do the same.
Peng Ziqi knew his own shortcomings, and knew that he knew nothing about managing the family's finances. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xie would be his own family. He definitely didn't mean to harm his father-in-law, so he followed her idea and took away the Yang family's property.
All of them were exchanged for gold. When Xia Xun wanted to sell his family property, he didn't think so carefully, but he didn't expect that Xie Yufei had already thought of it for him.
Today, King Yan arrived in Beijing. The ceremonial guard circled the city for half a week, and then went straight to Xiaoling to worship his ancestors. The whole city was talking about such a big battle, and Xie Yufei would naturally hear about it. Since King Yan is back, Xia Xun will naturally come back too.
, so she arrived at Xia Xun's house early. However, the food had been prepared long ago, but Xia Xun was still nowhere to be seen. The two of them went to the small study and gathered the household accounts.
The two girls were whispering when Xiaohuo's high-decibel scream suddenly came from the quiet courtyard. Peng Ziqi and Xie Yufei looked at each other and saw a touch of surprise in each other's eyes. Peng Ziqi blurted out: "He
Back!"
Xie Yufei frowned and smiled: "It must be him!"

It was still early morning. Civil servants walked through the left door, military officers walked through the right door, and all civil and military officials filed in. It seemed to be the same as usual, but the palace guards and chamberlains soon discovered that there seemed to be a little difference.
Yes, the procession that went to court today was huge and magnificent. Those senior officials and relatives who could come or not on weekdays no longer had any prospects for development. Therefore, the old senior officials who often complained of illness and stayed at home were none of them.
As long as they could climb up, everyone was here. It was really worrying to see those white-haired officials trembling and slowing down the progress of the entire team.
The news about Yan King Zhu Di's riot in Xiaoling yesterday had spread throughout Nanjing in the evening. No one knew about it, including princes, generals, ministers, scholars, farmers, and merchants. Some people scolded him for deceiving the king and committing treason, while others praised him by high-fiving him.
As worthy of being the leader of all the vassals of the Ming Dynasty, he finally spoke up and spoke out what everyone was thinking. In short, there were praises and criticisms, and there were many discussions.
He was going to court today. Who wouldn't want to see the result? This was the first major event in the court since the first year of Jianwen.
The morning light in the east was dim, the servants began to blow their whips, civil and military officials, princes and ministers crossed the bridge one by one, ending at the foot of Danqi of Fengtianmen. The bells and drums on the left and right of Danbi sang music, and the generals of Tianwu in the pillars of the palace were all wearing bright iron.
On the armor station squad, on the left and right of the royal road and behind the civil and military officials squad, the captains in brocade robes were arrayed with swords in hand, full of murderous intent.
The civil and military officials discovered that the guard of honor displayed by the emperor today was for the Great Court Meeting, and today was not the day for the Great Court Meeting. They all knew in their hearts that this formation was for King Yan to see. Although the officials who were friendly to each other did not
They dared to whisper to each other, but they also exchanged glances and voices, exchanging their innermost opinions.
All civil and military officials are here today. Not all of them are here to support Emperor Jianwen, nor are they all here to enjoy the fun. Speaking from a distance, they also have their own political opinions. Some people agree with Zhu Yunwen's reduction of vassals, and some
Some people agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's establishment of the vassal state, some people agreed with the reduction of the vassal state but did not agree with Zhu Yunzhen's method of reducing the vassal state. Some people had long-standing friendship with the King of Yan, Zhu Di, and felt that he was fighting against him.
Since Emperor Jianwen came to the throne, he was dissatisfied with the series of measures to suppress military power and promote civility. He was looking forward to King Yan to vent his anger on everyone. All the officials had their own thoughts and were waiting for the scene of "the king meeting the emperor".
When the elegant music started, it was time for the emperor to guard the gate, and all the civil and military officials were immediately in high spirits. The warriors in royal robes opened their five umbrella covers and four groups of fans, and stood still after rising from the east and west.
"Military Bei", with two fans, stands in the middle behind the throne. Emperor Jianwen looked solemn and walked up the steps. Honglu Temple started singing, and all the civil and military officials immediately came forward to pay homage to the emperor. The three cheers of "long live the emperor" were deafening.
According to the procedure of going to court, the officials of Honglu Temple should first report to the emperor today's thanksgiving, the officials who resigned and the officials who came to Beijing for pilgrimage from other places. These officials are waiting outside the Meridian Gate at this time. Generally, unless they are important officials, the emperor will
If not, as long as the emperor responds "I understand" and has his servants go to convey the order, the officials waiting to see him will perform five bows and three kowtows outside the Meridian Gate, and then they can go about their business.
, the Jinluan Hall will enter the most important part of every morning meeting: the performance.
However, today the civil and military officials have nothing important to report. Even if they do, they have put it aside. Anyone who chooses today to report something to the emperor will immediately become a public enemy: Do you still have anything?
A little insight!
In everyone's mind, the only important event in the court today was the meeting between King Yan Zhu Di and Emperor Jianwen.
As usual, the officials of Honglu Temple were the first to leave their duties and announced: "Your Majesty, King Yan of Peiping has returned to the court with orders. He is waiting to see you outside the Meridian Gate."
The civil and military ministers looked intently at the young emperor on the throne, and saw that his cheeks tensed up, and then he coldly uttered four words: "Announce his appearance!" (To be continued. If you like
