In front of Sun Chuanting was his favorite red carp from the Yellow River, and a blue and white pot-bellied wine pot filled with his favorite Fenjiu.
On the desk are exquisite landscape inks made of more than ten kinds of materials, including tung oil smoke, musk, borneol, gold foil, pearl powder, etc.
The pen holder hangs a row of top-quality lake pens made from "one cent of a million hairs".
As for the spread out golden cloud paper, the dragon pattern seal, and the Duan inkstone that still glowed dimly under the dim light, they all made Sun Chuanting feel a faint pain in his heart.
The charming and naive daughter was unwilling to take off her white fox fur even in the summer, and the way she sang and danced around him made Sun Chuanting want to beat her.
The golden steps in the old wife’s hair are shining brightly, the navy blue forehead is inlaid with large pearls, and the gorgeous dress made of Sichuan brocade actually makes the old wife look more beautiful. A touch of charm...
Fen wine was poured out from the jug with clear lines, and the delicate hops appeared in the wine glass. The fragrant aroma spread immediately, and the sniff made Sun Chuanting's heart break. .
"Husband, try it. This Yellow River red carp is cooked by the old shopkeeper of Chang'an Zhai himself. It is said that this red carp was brought alive from the Hukou place, all jumped over The big carp in Longmen are about to become a dragon, and this red carp is about to become a dragon. Making this dish is the most beneficial to the vitality.
The old shopkeeper also specially added Lantian County. The specialty red pepper has a richer flavor than the carp you usually eat."
Sun Chuanting took a bite of the fish belly that his wife gave him without expression, and it tasted like chewing wax.
"It's not as good as what you did yourself."
Sun Chuanting's casual comment made his wife smile. She came closer to Sun Chuanting and wanted to get intimate. She saw that her daughter was an eyesore to one side. So he kicked his daughter out.
After her daughter went out, Sun Chuanting stood up slowly, walked around his study, stroked the smooth sandalwood chair and said, "Are these valuable?"
Wife He smiled and said: "A total of two hundred taels of silver was spent on a complete set of household items."
Sun Chuanting said with a gloomy face: "As far as I know, only this set of six sandalwood chairs cost two hundred taels of silver." I can't buy it."
The wife laughed, hugged her husband's arm and said, "Do you think I got it by accepting bribes?"
Sun Chuanting said: "Except. Besides, I can't think of any other way for you to get this set of household items with two hundred taels of silver!"
His wife Liu proudly leaned on Sun Chuanting and said: "Zhang Yunhan, this dead eunuch! Do you know?"
Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "This is a villain!"
Liu laughed and said: "His Majesty had his house confiscated!"
< p>Sun Chuanting nodded and said: "At this time, my husband knew that because of excessive corruption, the censor in Nanjing was impeaching him. It is said that the evidence is conclusive."Ms. Liu clicked his tongue and said: "The evidence is not conclusive. Oh, his residence in Xi'an was confiscatedAt that time, I watched with my own eyes. Countless good things were carried out of the mansion like water. The gold and silver alone were said to be more than 70,000 taels.
Sun Chuanting snorted, pointed to the good things in the room and said to his wife: "Aren't you afraid that one day when our house is ransacked, these good things will be carried out by someone running water?" "
Ms. Liu pinched Sun Chuanting and said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who is obsessed with money? The origin of everything in our house is clear, and there is absolutely nothing hidden.
Most of the good things in your house were obtained by me from the auction of Zhang Yunhan’s family property. The person who presided over the auction was Wang Chengen, His Majesty’s eldest companion! "
"Wait, what is an auction? "Sun Chuanting was a little confused when he heard this. He knew that Wang Chengen came to Shaanxi, which was why he hurried back to Xi'an. He just couldn't understand the auction that his wife said.
"The auction is to sell the good things of the Zhang Yunhan family. All the things were put out, and then all the rich people and officials in Xi'an were called over. One person would hold a small wooden hammer, and each time he would take out a good thing and put it on the table. He would first call out the lowest price, and then give the price to the next person. The wealthy households bid with the officials and officials, as long as the price is higher than the reserve price, in the end, the one with the highest price wins!
You haven’t seen it. Everyone present is going crazy. The head of Yun’s head shopkeeper who is helping to knock wood and hammer is as sweaty as rain... Hahaha... But, concubine After shouting high prices several times, no one followed, so good things came to our house.
Wang Daban also praised me for being discerning and for making the move at the right time. ”
The more Mrs. Liu talked, the more proud she became. She did not notice her husband’s increasingly darker face, and continued to say proudly: “Husband, do you know that Wang Daban also said that Xi’an Mansion? The auction was a good way to turn all the dead objects of no use to His Majesty into useful silver.
He also said that the auction yielded good results this time, and he would advise His Majesty and use this as an example if he catches corrupt officials in the future.
So, everything in our house was sold to us by His Majesty. The source is clean and there is nothing to chew on.
Not to mention our family, even the transfer envoys, administrative envoys, and the family of the Prince of Qin also bought a lot. I stand inconspicuously among a group of nobles. "
Sun Chuanting sighed, sat back in his chair, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine. He only felt it was extremely bitter. He never expected that the Yun family could control the Nanjing Censor thousands of miles away. Remove the authority of the eunuch in charge of Xi'an Prefecture, and use the eunuch's family wealth to make friends with most of the officials in Shaanxi.
Although he has never seen the auction house, Sun Chuanting can easily imagine that time. In the scene, when the princess raised the price, the rest of the people kept silent and got the property at a very low price. When the chief envoy, the transfer envoy's wife, including myself, the governor's wife, raised the price, the rest of the people would do the same. Shut up tacitly
This is how you can buy this set of sandalwood furniture for only two hundred taels of silver.reason.
As for Wang Chengen, he must be satisfied, because in addition to gold and silver, he can also use these good things to raise more gold and silver for the emperor. Regardless of the price, it is a good thing for the emperor. , because no matter how good things are, they are not as important as gold and silver in the eyes of the emperor!
The base price of all items is estimated to be a decomposition of the total amount of gold and silver demanded by Wang Chengen. In other words, this is a grand event for the division of Zhang Yunhan's family wealth in an open and fair manner. Everyone is a participant. One person was left out.
"This is the method..."
Sun Chuanting took another bite of Yellow River red carp, and finally there was a taste of salt in his mouth. Soon, all kinds of tastes came one after another, fish and meat The fresh aroma of the fish constantly assaulted his taste buds, and before he knew it, a Yellow River red carp weighing three kilograms was eaten by him, leaving only a beautiful skeleton.
It is impossible to find any legal flaws in what Madam did. That is why Yun's method of turning things into spring and rain made Sun Chuanting feel deeply frightened.
After finishing the fish and the pot of wine, Sun Chuanting said to his wife: "You can make arrangements. I will go to Yushan to visit Yun's Anren in person."
Liu After hearing what her husband said, she immediately clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, June is when the scenery of Yushan is the best, and the foot of Yushan is much cooler than in the city. My husband just has some rest, so don't worry about those things." I have a headache."
Sun Chuanting rinsed his mouth with tea, swallowed it and nodded: "It won't last long, just three days.
I think. That pig won’t be able to escape at this time, he must come to see me!”
Ms. Liu smiled crookedly.
"This little pig can't escape this time."
Just when Sun Chuanting was overwhelmed by family affairs, Li Dingguo and Zhang Guofeng completed the work of the middle-aged man's family. After receiving the wages, he carried the sickle and continued towards the depths of Lantian County.
Zhang Guofeng kept looking back at the ordinary villages in the distance, seeming to be very nostalgic.
"Are you really thinking about recruiting a son-in-law?" Li Dingguo was a little angry for no reason.
Zhang Guofeng said: "If it weren't for you, I might have stayed. Although that girl has a few white pockmarks on her face, she is the purest woman I have ever seen. It would be a lie to say she is not interested. ."
Li Dingguo said angrily: "Have you missed women in these years?"
Zhang Guofeng said: "What does my wife have to do with women?"
"You——" Li Dingguo was choked by Zhang Guofeng's words and was speechless.
"However, people are interested in you, not me." Zhang Guofeng was a little sad.
Li Dingguo curled his lips and said, "It's none of my business. If you like it, we'll go to their house tonight and you can get whoever you want!"
Zhang Guofeng looked around. All around, you can see flat land, neat houses, fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos, traffic on every street, chickens and dogs hearing each other, yellow hair hanging down, and a sense of joy.Self-pleasure...
He lowered his head and said with some inferiority: "In a place like this, don't say such shameful words. Even if I like that woman, I just want to send a matchmaker to the door with gifts. If you fail to propose marriage once, just try it twice or three times.
Rather than go in at night and kill the parents and then sleep with the girl..."
