Perhaps because she was so angry with Su Ping for several days in a row, Miss Six immediately took revenge when she found an opportunity. And what she thought was an outstanding performance seemed to Su Ping to be too much. Perhaps she could only
She was able to deceive those little maids who were already very afraid of her.
An eighteen-year-old man is in his prime. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been angered by Tang Mei's performance. But Su Ping was not angry, he just felt that the little girl in front of him was quite revengeful.
.
Seeing that Su Ping's face was calm, and even had a reproachful smile similar to that of an elder watching a child being naughty, Miss Six felt uncomfortable, and the smug expression that had just appeared became stiff at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"That's it for now, I'm leaving." Su Ping reached out to grab the package.
The orb was originally bought for free. He exchanged it for a brocade dress "worth at least ten taels" and ten taels of silver, so he didn't lose too much. Su Ping took the package and was about to leave. Tang Mei asked him to change the ledger first.
If you leave again, you have to make changes in front of her. Every time you make a change, you have to explain the reason and purpose of the change.
Su Ping said, don't worry, I want to go out for a walk. You'd better go to your brother first and implement my work. It won't be too late for us to change the ledger. Then Su Ping left, and Tang Mei sat on the couch coldly, pointing her finger.
Cold.
Ten taels of silver is almost ten thousand Wen. What can you buy with this money?
Due to the different industrial levels between the two generations, it is difficult to make an accurate comparison and reference of the purchasing power of money. We can only generally say that ten taels of silver is almost ten thousand yuan. Again, this is not accurate. It is just Su Ping
personal feelings.
I still remember that when he was in Wuwei, Sima Jing recruited a group of people to pay homage to him, weighed four taels of silver, and bought a pig, a sheep, five or six jars of Jinhua wine, incense candles, paper notes, chickens, ducks, and wine. Of course, prices in Luoyang are higher than in Wuwei.
There are many of them. In Luoyang, these items cannot be bought for even ten taels of silver.
Before Su Ping left, he asked Tang Wan, Tang Ting and Feng Die about their shoe sizes. Then he took Zhu Tao to a small street and bought four pairs of cowhide boots.
She also bought Zhu Tao a bunch of coveted candied haws on a stick. The little maid smiled happily and looked at her uncle while eating. On the way, she met the little maids from the Duke's Mansion, and she even shook the candied haws in her hand to show off. As a result, she was beaten by nine
The three little maids in Miss Tang Qiu's house each snatched one and ate it. Zhu Tao stamped her feet in anxiety.
Seeing this, Su Ping laughed heartily.
After shopping around all morning, we went home for lunch. At that time, there was only the concierge maid Feng Die at home. Su Ping gave her the cowhide boots. The little maid smiled brightly and thanked her repeatedly.
Feng Die is so pretty, especially when she smiles, she seems to have seen a little fox become a spirit. But according to Zhu Tao, Feng Die's life experience is very miserable.
Originally from Huainan, she was arrested and reported to the local government because an article written by her father, Feng Zhongjun, was suspected of criticizing the government. The emperor was furious and ordered her family of three to be sent to Liangzhou.
That day, they were escorted by an official and passed by Zhengzhou when they met a robber. The robber wielded a machete, hacked the official to death and took away some money. However, the robber did not harm them and helped them remove their handcuffs and shackles.
.
In other words, this can be regarded as an escape, but Feng Zhongjun said, "If you run away like this, it will be aggravated crime." So he took his wife and children to Luoyang to surrender. As a result, the day after he surrendered, her father
He died of illness due to overwork. Only Feng Die and his mother, Feng Zhang, were left.
When the emperor heard about this, he only said that Feng Zhongjun was not a crazy person. Although he was guilty, he regretted it and lost his life, so he did not embarrass his widow. He went to Jingzhao Mansion, paid the widow money and sent her back to her place of origin; she went to Shuyang.
County, to unblock his old house.
How much money can it cost to send two girls home? But Jingzhao Mansion said, in the war years, finances were tight and there was no money, so you go to the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it. The Ministry of Revenue said, the emperor asked Jingzhao Mansion to do it, you follow me
What money do you want? They went to Jingzhao Mansion again, and Jingzhao Mansion said, you surrendered in Yongkang County, so you go to Yongkang County to ask for money. But when they went to Yongkang County, the county magistrate said, Feng Zhongjun’s matter is
I told you the truth and that's why you were granted amnesty. You don't give me money to express your gratitude, but instead you ask me for money. Is there any justice?
After a few rounds of tossing, Ms. Zhang was completely convinced. She hadn't eaten for two days and sat on the roadside crying. The pain of losing her husband came to her heart, and she wailed, hit her head against the wall, and passed out. Eight-year-old Feng Die knelt down.
Beside my mother, weeping loudly.
A hawker selling cooking cakes passed by and saw that Zhang was handsome, so he took it home. A few days later, when Zhang could walk, the hawker proposed to Zhang, but Zhang only said that she could not get married during her filial piety. The hawker was furious and beat her.
Mrs. Zhang ran out with her daughter, but the hawker chased her out with a knife.
Nan City was bustling with people, and the mother and daughter ran and shouted for help, but no one came to help. Zhang was stabbed twice and fell to the ground, screaming.
Yongkang County Government Office is also in Nanshi. It happened that this scene was attracted by a handsome boy who was about to get off work. He took down the hawker on the spot. Seeing that Zhang had been stabbed twice, the hawker's crime must be serious, so he locked up the hawker directly.
Go to jail and await trial.
Tong Yin summoned the doctor in the county to suture Zhang's wounds and asked for the records. Only then did he know what had happened to Zhang. Tong Yin was filled with indignation and only said that Jingzhao Mansion was not handling personnel matters. He wanted to go home and tell his uncle to let him know.
Tong Yin's elder brother-in-law worked in Yushitai. Although his official position was not high, he was an official who could directly write to the emperor.
When the governor of Jingzhao heard about this, he quickly sent someone to find Zhang, saying not to complain. Since the hawker is going to chop you with a knife, it is better to transfer his house to you. From now on, you will settle in Kyoto. This will save money.
You have walked all the way back to Huainan. Mrs. Zhang said that even if you settle down, you have no skills and don't know how to make a living. The official of Jingzhao Prefecture said, it is better to ask the fourth master to find you a husband's family.
The so-called fourth master is Tang Jiong, the fourth master of Qinghuafang, the governor of Jingzhao. He married Mrs. Zhang to a lame veteran of the Shence Army, so Mrs. Zhang took Feng Die to Qinghuafang.
Eat a big pot of rice. Later, the Duke's office said that it wanted to recruit a maid, so Zhang sent Feng Die over. Seeing that Feng Die was handsome and could read, she was snatched away by Miss Six.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, Miss Six was still planning to become the Crown Princess. Grandma Wang was too old, and Miss Six only had two maids, Zhen Ping'er and Wang Jin'er, around her. Tang Mei felt that there were not enough, so she had to choose two more maids to raise her from childhood.
Cultivation is Feng Die and Zhu Tao.
But within a few days of the good life of the Zhang family, the lame husband drank to death. Although the Zhang family had a big pot of food to eat, money was always needed to buy clothes and medicine. And when the Tang family went to war, the Zongzheng Mansion could not pay out any money.
When money came, Mrs. Zhang came to Feng Die to ask for money.
Feng Die had no money, so she borrowed money. She had borrowed everything she could. Now the little maids in the Duke's Mansion shun Feng Die when they see her. There are also those who are impatient, because several
He often came to collect debts for ten cents. Feng Die was miserable every day to cope with this.
"How much do you owe?"
"There are seven or eight hundred articles."
"Oh." As he spoke, Su Ping took out some broken silver, estimated to be one or two cents, and gave it to Feng Die.
Seeing the money, Feng Die's bright eyes moved like cicadas, trembling light reflected in his eyes, tears suddenly slipped down, and he knelt down and kowtowed.
Su Ping helped her up and raised his hand to wipe away her tears. The little maid's face was as smooth as a mirror and was warm to her hands.
Su Ping took Zhu Tao home and sat in the concierge, listening to Feng Die tell her miserable experience. Seeing Feng Die crying, Su Ping smiled bitterly and said, "What kind of person is the most terrifying?"
Before the maids could answer, Su Ping said again: "I heard a joke before, saying that if you are rich and powerful, it's not scary, because no matter how much money you have, I can't spend a penny. But if you say you
If you are poor, everyone will be afraid of you and stay away from you."
This joke is actually not very funny, but the two little maids have just received gifts from their uncle, so they still have to laugh even if it's not funny.
At this time, Tang Mei, who was tied up in a high bun, came back, taking two little maids, Tang Wan and Tang Ting, into the wind. Tang Mei was tall and had long legs, and the two little maids followed closely behind, trotting two steps from time to time.
When passing by the concierge, Tang Mei glanced at the concierge and saw Su Ping sitting there smiling. She had already passed the window and stepped back. She said with a sullen face: "You are so happy, why don't you want to change the account book?"
Su Ping asked: "How is the discussion about becoming an official?"
Tang Mei said: "I first went to see my fourth uncle (Yin Tangjiong of Jingzhao Mansion). The fourth uncle said that there is no shortage of children in Jingzhao Mansion, so why not go to the county to ask. So I went to see my fourth brother, who said he would go to the county to help you ask.
Ask and if there is a vacancy, we will arrange it for you."
Su Ping said expressionlessly: "In other words, it hasn't been implemented yet."
Tang Mei said anxiously: "This matter cannot be rushed. If there is no vacancy, why don't you kill one right away?"
Su Ping was touched and smiled.
"Stop laughing, go and help me correct the account book."
This time I helped Miss Six change the account book, which was a relatively pleasant experience. At first, Miss Six had to maintain her usual arrogant posture and sit upright. Su Ping was not allowed to sit next to her, but Su Ping was allowed to sit next to her.
She went to the other side.
Su Ping held the account book, found faults, revised it, and explained the reasons for the revision. Listening to Su Ping's explanation, how could he look like a man who was only eighteen years old? His rich life experience far exceeded that of Tang of the same age.
Mei, Tang Mei was impressed.
Later, in order to make reading easier, she took the initiative to sit next to Su Ping, and she was no longer as arrogant as she was at the beginning.
However, when the account book was turned over, her face darkened again and she asked Su Ping to leave her couch quickly.
Crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. Su Ping looked at him with cold eyes. She was the same.
When Su Ping walked out of the small pavilion, she pursed her lips and snickered, hiding behind the window and looking downstairs, hoping to see Su Ping angry.
As a result, Su Ping was no longer angry. He walked to the back room with his usual leisurely pace and contentment.
