Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada, and the Oriole Follows
He looked at Chu He for help.
Mrs. Chu He looked at her daughter and said angrily: "You kid, why are you talking so treacherously? The delay in salary arrears is not caused by the minister, but because the treasury is empty. The minister is always thinking about our Chu family. This
It’s not that as soon as I have money, my lord, the minister, will personally send me the salary of the champion prince.”
The Lord Minister listened to the obstructionist, and was always thinking about the Chu family. The words of Mrs. Chu were even more sinister than Chu Zishan.
Being ridiculed by such an ignorant woman, he was filled with anger. However, Chu Zishan was in charge of selling smuggled salt. He did not dare to show any displeasure, so he could only be patient and smile.
"Yes, yes, you don't know how hard it is if you don't hold your position. The treasury has always been tight, making the Ministry of Household Affairs like a woman who has no rice to cook. It's really difficult. In the past, I have to ask for your understanding, madam, for arrears.
"
Mrs. Chu He said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Our Houfu family has a big business and we don't live on this salary. I was still thinking, if you don't give these supplies to those who are in greater need first..."
"It must be." Lord Lang waved his hand again and again, Mrs. Chu said with his words, hit his face slammed.
He was so filled with hatred that he secretly scolded all eighteen generations of the Chu family.
But he had a very sincere smile on his face: "I admire Mrs. Chu's heart in boxing. The Ministry of Finance has indeed been in arrears with the salary to the Marquis for a long time, so I specially sent it here in person."
Mrs. Chu He: "You can ask someone to inform me about such a trivial matter, and I will take care of it myself. Why do you feel so sorry for me, the Minister, who is busy with labor affairs?"
"It should, it should."
As the minister said, he looked at the junior official who came with him. The junior official immediately stepped forward and placed the two big red brocade boxes in front of Mrs. Chu He.
"This..." Mrs. Chu He looked at the servant with a puzzled look on her face: "The housekeeper has just checked the salary accounts. What do you mean by this, sir?"
The waiter pointed to the brocade box: "I feel deeply guilty about the salary matter. To express my apology, I have prepared a set of gifts for the old lady and the madam."
"This is impossible." Mrs. Chu He waved her hands repeatedly: "The salary is owed by the imperial court, not by you..."
"Madam, the salary is well distributed by the imperial court, but at this late date, I have a responsibility that I cannot shirk. Now that the emperor is concerned about the war, he has specifically ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to take good care of the families of the generals.
If the Emperor knew that the salary of the Champion Marquis had been delayed for so many days, he would definitely blame me, and I am afraid that I would not be able to protect my hair, so please, Madam, please accept it so that I can feel at ease."
Mrs. Chu He said with a smile: "This is nothing at all. You don't need to take it to heart. You'd better take this face back."
She looked at Aunt Zhao, who picked up the brocade box. The Minister quickly stood up, took it from Auntie's hand and put it back to Mrs. Chu He: "If Madam doesn't accept it, then you won't forgive me. I will definitely be sorry for you."
It’s hard to sleep and eat well.”
"Your Excellency, this gift is too valuable. I really can't accept it..."
Chu Zishan said: "Mother, if Uncle Zheng has trouble sleeping and eating, you will definitely feel sorry for him, so just accept it first and return a gift to the Vice Minister's wife another day."
"Yes, that's right, Miss, what you said is very good." After hearing Chu Zishan speak clearly, the Minister of Servants nodded happily.
Mrs. Chu He saw the minister looking at her daughter with a flattering smile on his face. She had a hint of understanding, but also wondered what her daughter had done to make the minister of household affairs, who had a deep hatred for the Chu family, come to the house to apologize.
The Minister of Tobe who was smiling like a pug in front of him was not that easy to tame. There might be some bad intentions behind that smiling face.
How can a daughter who is so young be able to fight against an old fox who wields power in the officialdom?
However, it was difficult for her to ask at this moment, so she could only be vaguely worried about her daughter.
"The salary has been delivered, so I won't bother you anymore."
The servant stood up and bowed to Mrs. Chu He: "I will ask Madam Chu to take the eldest daughter to the house someday, and we will treat you warmly."
Mrs. Chu He stood up and gave a slight salute: "There is no man in the family to accompany you, so I won't stay with you anymore. I will see you off..."
"Mrs. Chu, stay here. I have a few words to say to the eldest lady. Please send her off." The waiter looked at Chu Zishan.
Chu Zishan raised his hand to his mother and said, "Mother, I will see off the minister for you."
Mrs. Chu He nodded and nodded to the waiter: "My lord, walk slowly."
Seeing the two of them turning to go out, the smile on her face suddenly faded and she waved to Aunt Zhao: "Follow me and have a look."
Aunt Zhao nodded and walked out quickly.
Chu Zishan escorted the servant out of the house. The servant suddenly turned around and said, "Miss Chu, please forgive me for offending me before. I have personally sent back the salary as you requested. Please be kind enough to let my wife and brother back."
Chu Zishan smiled faintly: "Why can't I understand what the Master is saying?"
The waiter frowned, with a hint of anger in his eyes: "Chu Zishan, selling smuggled salt is my wife's brother's personal act, and I have nothing to do with it. I just couldn't bear my wife's feelings for my brother, so I came to the house to beg you. Don't think this matter can be solved."
I pulled him into the water."
"Then let's try and see if we can drag the Minister into trouble?" Chu Zishan smiled slyly.
The waiter said solemnly: "I have done everything you asked, don't you want to push yourself further?"
He was a high-ranking official respected by the world, but he was manipulated and humiliated by a yellow-haired girl. The anger in his heart was boiling, and his fierce eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Chu Zishan was very happy to see that the old fox couldn't stand it anymore and was so angry that he was about to spit out fire.
She smiled and said: "I broke your son's leg back then, so you tried every means to target our Chu family, but didn't you accept a large sum of compensation from our Chu family and agreed not to pursue further claims? You took the money
It's unreasonable to cheat on my Chu family. You will retaliate for your anger, and I am a person who is very willing to spend money and money, so why not let's see who of us can fight with whom?"
The waiter glared at Chu Zishan angrily, and a smile gradually appeared on his pretty face. It was so weird and sinister that it made his hair stand on end.
He was so frightened that he took a few steps back.
Trying his best to calm his panic, he thought to himself, now is not the time for him to be quick to talk. Even if he leaves the responsibility of selling smuggled salt to his wife's brother, he is in charge of water transportation and will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty.
He took a deep breath, then raised his head and his eyes were calm and clear: "Tell me, what do you want?"
"I heard that your lord, the minister, has built a new house, and it has been renovated like a fairyland on earth. If you can give up your love to me..."
Hearing this, the minister's angry eyes were filled with shock. The house belonged to a merchant, and he took a fancy to it, so he used some tricks to get the merchant to dedicate it to him.
Before he could live in this house, he let this cunning girl take aim at it. This was like a mantis stalking a cicada, with the oriole behind.
He, half a hundred people, was actually tricked by a girl.
He felt even more uneasy. The house and selling salt were his most secret matters. How did Chu Zishan know about it? What else did she know?
"Little girl, your appetite for movies is too big."
"How about a smoother career than the Vice Minister?"
The minister was so angry that he trembled and gritted his teeth, "Okay, I'll give you the house. You immediately write a letter to Zhang Dalong to let my brother-in-law go. Also, you must keep your mouth shut about this matter and dare not reveal even a single word."
, I will fight with you and the Chu family until death."
"The house was given to me, and I will let him go immediately. This matter will never be mentioned again. I would like to advise the minister, it is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. The grudges between our two families have not been discussed. If you are still secretly causing trouble.
"
Chu Zishan smiled coquettishly and pointed his slender fingers at the minister's forehead: "What you lost was not the black gauze, but the human head on your neck." This chapter has been completed!
