Chapter 825: Shocking

This time we met, Sun Jue was no longer the day before yesterday.

Seeing Sun Jue as if he was bathed in spring breeze, Cao Yong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth. He was plotted by the Li family, but he didn't notice it at all. Instead, he was so chaotic. This cousin and cousin husband was really even more idiotic than he looked.

Although Sun Jue smiled in front of Cao Yong and Seshtu, he felt a little unsure.

Yesterday, I spent 60 taels of silver tokens from Cao Ying, paid a year's rent, and bought Xia Chan in a small yard, and spent dozens of taels to buy a few new pieces of furniture.

As for the people who served, they were scruples and were not allowed to get involved in the Sun family, so they could not buy people, so they could only spend about ten taels of silver to hire people.

It’s just a self-deception. How can I leave the Sun family’s people with renting a house and shopping items?

In addition, I bought new clothes for Xia Chan, leaving some silver pockets, and spent some more.

Although the Sun family is not rich, Sun Jue has never suffered any hardship.

It took more than 200 taels to settle a house. The remaining more than 200 taels were left. Thinking of Cao Ying's recent visit to the Duke's Mansion, Sun Jue sent someone to redeem a few pieces of jewelry on the head and face, and went for more than 100 taels.

The salary of the Beijing officials is paid in January and July according to the rules. Naturally, no one dares to delay the salary of the Beijing officials, but the officials below have to wait. Until the end of the month, the little ghosts of the Ministry of Revenue will not let them do what they want.

In this way, the expenses for the two houses outside Sun Jue's family and the house will have to be kept for July.

I can find out the money that can buy a birthday gift for Cao Yong. Sun Jue arrived at Liulichang early, picked up the ancient Go pieces, bought a pair, and spent dozens of taels of silver.

He really felt that he couldn't make any move, so he asked someone to buy a few boxes of longevity peaches from Daoxiang Village.

Speaking of which, it is ridiculous to buy things from the Cao family’s shop to the Cao family. Who said that it is the only one selling land fire in the capital? It’s a box of two taels of silver for a high-end longevity peach, and a few boxes are decent.

With the birthday gift, and with the congratulations he came to congratulate himself, he shouldn't be able to pick anything.

Unexpectedly, when he met Seshtu, Sun Jue naturally wondered.

Seshtu was the Duke of the State and came to condescend to celebrate his brother-in-law's birthday, so he would not show the weight of Sun Jue coming here in person.

Sestu didn't think so much. Looking at Sun Jue and thinking of Nersu, he said to Cao Yong: "If the prince is here, it will be complete today."

Cao Yong said: "The prince has been thinking about going out for a look, and this time he has forgotten his wish. It is just that the northwest is bitter and cold. It is already March, and the weather is getting warmer. When it comes to autumn and winter, it is bitter and cold. Then he will think about the capital city."

Sun Jue was beside him, disagreed and said, "Ministry of Revenue, Ministry of War, Ministry of Personnel, how many adults are watching the supply of military supplies in the northwest. With a prince here, no one dares to neglect. Although the prince is not as good as the prince, he is also Duluo Prince, and he cannot suffer."

Cao Yong heard this, but smiled without saying a word.

The bad things are in these three departments. If one department is in charge, he is afraid of taking responsibility and doing his best. If there are more people involved, more people who dare to gain, and fewer people will do their jobs.

So what if he is a prince? When the emperor personally conquered Galdan, he almost starved to death outside the border because he cut off military rations?

There are people who dare to plot against the king of a country, let alone the 14th prince is just a prince and is still in the throne of the throne.

Seshtu was obviously more transparent than Sun Jue, but he didn't speak much by nature, so he didn't speak much.

Sun Jue was by the side, and when he saw that the two of them did not refute, he felt a little proud and showed off all the news he had heard in the yamen over the past few days.

It was like a clown. Cao Yong held a teacup and thought about the nine thousand taels of silver that Sun Jue had cheated out. Since he had promised to return for three months, he didn't know what excuse he would use to ask the cousin from Hangzhou to send the silver to Beijing.

Hangzhou was a place where Cao Yong fell into trouble when he was young.

Even after many years, Cao Yong didn't want to think of that place. The sequelae left by the nightmare that someone else would feel sore in his knees when he mentioned West Lake.

Therefore, Cao Yong rarely took the initiative to inquire about the cousin who was in charge of Hangzhou Weaving Mansion. However, over the years, he still heard a lot of news.

I heard that Sun Wen was a man who was respectful and cautious in his work. Although he had no great contributions in the past decade, he could not make any mistakes.

Unlike the Cao family's prominent and Li family's illumination, the Sun family has been very low-key in recent years.

When Cao Ying got married, the dowry items and money totaled 5,000 taels of silver. Sun Wenqi even said it was too much.

The cost of Sun Jue after entering Beijing can also be seen in the Sun family tradition.

Nine thousand taels of silver, after all, is not a small amount. This cousin and brother-in-law are so mean to be an official in the Sixth Ministry. Don’t take the nine thousand taels of silver seriously?

Sun Jue showed off and had nothing to say, then he remembered that he had not yet met his mother-in-law and mother-in-law in the hall, which was quite rude.

He said to Cao Yong, and Cao Yong sent someone to pass the message to Li's side.

After a while, an old lady came to pass the message, saying that the second wife was resting at noon and the wife said she would see each other again at supper.

Cao Fu came out of Master Qian and had already received news that his elder brother-in-law was coming. Although he didn't like this elder brother-in-law, his courtesy was not abandoned, so he still went to the living room to meet him.

When Sun Jue met his brother-in-law, he picked up the old man's brochure and asked a few questions about his studies in a very good manner.

When Cao Fu heard this, he was so bored that he sighed at Seshtu sitting next to him. This elder brother-in-law was fine in his early years, but he became more and more unbearable in recent years. If he could be half steady with his third brother-in-law, he would not be so annoying.

It seems that people should respect themselves first, and then they should respect themselves...

Shichahai, Chengzhai.

Cheng Mengxian sat in the pavilion, looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, but she had no time to enjoy it.

When his niece came to visit, he felt uneasy and began to ask for information about the Cao, Li and Sun families. Although there were also introductions from the Cao and Sun families on his side, because the Li family was the one who had contacted the most, he knew more about the Li family.

Now, after two days of hard work gathering up all kinds of news related to the Cao family, Cheng Meng has a clear awakening of the bystanders.

The Cao family is not like a relative of the Li family.

The rumors about Mrs. Li's life experience are very subtle. The rumors are very wide and long. It is true that the Empress Dowager favored Mrs. Li during her lifetime.

At the foot of the emperor, the capital city is important, the royal family will be tolerated by this kind of discussion about the secrets of the royal family?

If it was groundless, I would have to pursue the confusing of the royal bloodline and discuss the crime of the royal relatives, but no one in the emperor and the clan's house would pursue it.

This is not pursued, but also a statement.

No matter how glorious the Li family is in Jiangnan, they are just slaves in the capital. Although the Li family hides, everyone who is well-informed should know about the sudden death of the Li family's second son.
