Why bother? Du Zhongxiao chewed his father's words and walked towards his residence.

Du Zhongxiao could imagine how people in the future would evaluate Su Shunqin. Although Su Shunqin's companions, relatives and friends were all silent and no one spoke for him, as long as the matter was over, the Qingli party members who had the right to speak would definitely turn things over. As Su Shunqin's friend, Ouyang Xiu did not protect him because he was not in the position of admonishment. But after a few years, the government's current situation was different, and it must be another statement.

But for Su Shunqin, who was dismissed from office for the people, what was the use of this? His talent was full of energy and he was expelled from the officialdom and turned into nothing. From then on, this officialdom was just a stage for him and he could only watch others act.

When he returned to his residence, Han Yueniang leaned on the bed and asked, "Has Parliament Su Tong stopped? It was very scary to see him during the day. I thought a few years ago, when I saw him in Linying County, I was full of red and energetic. I would never think of the misfortune of today. Dalang, the officialdom is dangerous, and I don't want you to make a name for yourself, be prosperous and wealthy, but don't be confused and cause such trouble."

Du Zhongxiao said impatiently: "What's wrong with Punishment Su Tong? It's just a careless friend and a greedy cup!"

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao didn't take it seriously, Han Yueniang stood up and said seriously: "Dalang, you must take it seriously! If Su Tongjue just missed the matter because of a greed, you will quit the bar in the future. Drinking alcohol will harm your body, and there will be no benefit at all!"

Du Zhongxiao was a little confused and was stunned for a while before saying, "Yue Niang, we have known each other for so many years. Have you ever seen me miss the problem? In the officialdom, how can I not drink alcohol? Not to mention, our two families sell alcohol!"

"If you sell wine, you just sell wine. Do you have to drink it at home?" Han Yueniang did not retreat at all. "Looking at the appearance of Su Tong, you can tell how scary it is to make a mistake after drinking! His grandfather is the prime minister, his father is Hanlin, and his father-in-law is also the prime minister. He also ended up like this. If you are careless in the officialdom, wouldn't it be even more miserable! We all rely on you to live a life, not only the two elderly people, but also the children in our belly!"

Speaking of this, Han Yueniang gently patted her stomach.

Du Zhongxiao was startled and said quickly: "Yue Niang, don't make trouble! I know that in the officialdom, it is impossible not to drink alcohol, I just promised you to drink less in the future. Besides, it is precisely because Su Tongzong was born with a prominent background that he did not care about his work, which led to the current disaster. If it were me, such a thing would definitely not happen. I would not have the confidence to do it!"

Han Yueniang looked at Du Zhongxiao. After a while, she saw that she was not fake, and then she let out a sigh: "It's good that you know!"

Du Zhongxiao sat down beside the bed and sighed: "Who are we? What kind of family and what kind of background are we? Even if you force me with a knife, you don't have the confidence of judging Su Tong. You can comment on the government affairs and criticize the ministers at will. Alas, I am already overwhelmed by a magistrate now!"

Han Yueniang was shocked and asked hurriedly: "The last time the magistrate and the grandson came, I didn't appreciate you very much, so what's wrong?"

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "I appreciate me well, but I can't stand it too much. Now, the second rich minister has a foreign position, and the government has lacked the backbone, so Mr. Xia is inevitably interested. I wrote a few days ago and said that I would like to praise me, so I will follow him to my new position."

Han Yueniang was stunned for a while, and then thought about it, and then said, "Xia Xianggong has a high position and is very powerful. If you have to be promoted like this, you should be happy. But Xia Xianggong, how can you say it? You always feel unreliable. Dalang, don't get too close!"

Du Zhongxiao smiled bitterly after hearing this: "Yue Niang, I am just a magistrate! Why do you think that as a magistrate, I can be picky about a Grand Secretary of the Secretariat? If he oppresses me, I can only bear it and praise me. I have to thank him. Why do I say it is OK or not!"

Seeing Du Zhongxiao's anxious look, Han Yueniang said softly: "Don't be anxious, Dalang, who is Xia Xianggong? How could he care about us? I'm not familiar with the affairs in the officialdom. I just heard that Xia Xianggong's family is doing business in our Yongcheng County. It was fine at first. In the past few months, you have taken advantage of others, and you have been arranged. Humph, a few days ago, I said that the payment for the goods was not enough, and I took nearly a hundred taels of silver from our house!"

Speaking of this, Han Yueniang looked obviously very angry.

Du Zhongxiao's family is endless, with a restaurant at home and selling wine in the three states. Not only does he not need to use his salary to supplement the family income, but he can also buy a property. But it is not very rich, especially Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang, how much money can they save with their salary? Xia Qian's family borrowed nearly 100 taels of silver from them, which made Han Yueniang feel uneasy. The couple saved two years before saving such a little money.

Du Zhongxiao had to comfort her. Xia Shu was more than the magistrate. She didn't know how much property her family had, but she didn't have enough temporary capital. She came to borrow it and would definitely pay it back. In fact, she was worried that Xia Shu didn't know the money at all. Who knew whether she would pay it back? She couldn't tell Xia Shu, let alone ask for the account. Du Zhongxiao was not sure whether she could get the money back in the future.

Seeing Han Yueniang looking unhappy, Du Zhongxiao sat next to her and said softly: "I am appointing an official in the court and cannot buy an industry--"

Han Yueniang sneered: "Then I ask you, why does Mr. Xia have so many businesses in his family?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "He always asks his servants to do the work. He only buys various goods in Bozhou and has no industry. If we have someone at home, we can also start industries. It's not because we are all small families, we can only sell wine in the three states and do other businesses, and there is no one anymore!"

Han Yueniang pouted: "I don't care! I saved up nearly two years and asked someone to make it into silver ingots, which is an emergency. Now I have been borrowed and there is no big money around me. If I have urgent money, would it be possible to borrow it home? Not to mention that the money was borrowed, don't even give money to you, and you don't even have time to pay back the money. You have to think of a way. Being an official and an official can't be a pauper!"

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "Don't worry, I will find a way. This time my father and mother came to see us is an opportunity. I have run so many industries in Yongcheng County, making money in everything, so I let my father learn a few things and buy some industries for us in Xuzhou. OK?"

Han Yueniang glanced at Du Zhongxiao, pouted and said nothing.

Du Zhongxiao had no choice but to be an official and could not buy a property, so the couple had to rely on that little salary. How much is the salary of the magistrate? Han Yueniang worked hard for two years, but only more than one hundred taels of silver, and was almost borrowed by the Xia family who came to buy goods. Although she felt that the Xia family would not neglect its own money, the Du Zhong family was still worried. This Xia Xianggong was still reliable in business affairs, but it was hard to say about private money.

After sighing, Du Zhongxiao thought that he would still have to take advantage of his parents' age and let them buy property for him at home. After all, he is a Jinshi now, and officials in Xuzhou always have to give him some face. He doesn't expect them to help him. As long as he doesn't cheat himself, his father can buy a considerable property by relying on his own means. He wants to be rich and prosperous alone, even if everything goes well, it will take ten years to go. If he doesn't become a magistrate, the officials' income will really be in Du Zhongxiao's eyes, that is, his couple lives frugality and can save money.

After thinking about it, Du Zhongxiao said to Han Yueniang: "Mom Yueniang, why don't you do this? Taking advantage of this time when my parents come to Yongcheng, I will explain to them how farming farms make money. My father is a scholar and is smart, so he will understand it at once. There is also a lot of wasteland in Xuzhou, so he buys some and builds our own manor. Once he has an industry and hires slaves, he can also do various business. I think, by being an official, you can't make a lot of money, you still have to rely on yourself. As for the restaurant at home, you can just ask your parents to take care of you, and you don't need to pay all the money. With money, many things will be easy to do."

Han Yueniang looked at Du Zhongxiao and whispered: "Is this feasible?"

"Of course it's feasible? If I hadn't been an official, I would have become a senior official when I went home to do business! It's a pity that if I didn't become an official, everything would be over. I have written everything in the field business in a booklet, and my father would definitely be able to do it well."

Han Yueniang nodded and said leisurely: "I didn't care much about money before, but now it's different. When we have children, many things need to be planned. It's not appropriate to have no industry."

Du Zhongxiao said it was. The salary of middle and lower-level officials was not high. If Du Zhongxiao's family had not had a large family, they would be in a short position. Don't think that Han Yueniang still wanted to save money. But this is not a solution. Only when your family has money will feel at ease.

Xuzhou is located in the Central Plains and has a lot of wasteland, which is actually quite suitable for building manors. In addition, his father Du Xun is not old and is just when he is doing something. This is because he has few people. For example, those wealthy families, some have come out to serve as officials and some are specializing in managing industries, so he does not have such troubles.

Last time Xia Shu came to Yongcheng to check, and was quite satisfied with the field affairs. Because of the great changes in the court, he didn't have time to check Yongcheng County, but his impression of Du Zhongxiao had already formed. In Xia Shu's opinion, Du Zhongxiao was a capable official, didn't talk much, and did not get involved in the government affairs. This was his willing talent. With the changes in personnel and affairs in the court, Xia Shu was also ready to move and did not want to stay in Bozhou anymore. He gave Du Zhongxiao a speech and waited for his position to change, hoping to promote Du Zhongxiao and be promoted with him.

This is a rare opportunity, and Du Zhongxiao has no reason to refuse. But Xia Shu's behavior makes Du Zhongxiao worried. When he works with him, he must be careful when he is implicated by him. But it is even more impossible to refuse. Can a magistrate of the Zizheng Hall be rejected by a county magistrate?

Du Zhongxiao was worried about Xia Feng, but the people in his family were gone. It was fine to go to Yongcheng to buy goods and use Du Zhongxiao's reputation to make a profit. Unexpectedly, the capital was not enough, so he even went to Du Zhongxiao's house to borrow, which made Han Yueniang particularly annoyed.
