Chapter 43: Mission Progress: Thirty percent! ...
The monthly salaries and subsidies of court officials are so small, and the family expenses are high during the New Year and festivals, especially during the New Year, when there are more personal exchanges, it seems stretched.
At this time, some officials put their ideas on the court and began to borrow money from the treasury.
The bigger the official, the more borrowed.
Borrowing money is not a problem, the problem is that they don't want to pay it back.
The money on hand is rich, and the days when the money bag is tight have passed, and no one thinks about taking the initiative to return the money owed.
You look at me, I look at you, and we owe each other.
The small official thought that the high official had not paid it back. If he took the initiative to pay back the money, wouldn’t he want to be a bird in the lungs, and he would definitely be wearing small shoes in the future.
A banquet is set on a stage, but there is no money to pay back the money.
Don't ask, just wait two days and it will be returned.
Today, tomorrow, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, three or four months have passed since the end of the new year. Seeing that the summer flood disaster is just around the corner, the imperial court can’t even spend the money to repair and consolidate the dam.
Over time, the treasury is empty. If the weather is good, there is no place to spend a lot of money.
But once there is some natural disaster and man-made disaster that requires the court to adjust the money for disaster relief, the national treasury can't get the money.
This happens every year, and every year officials who go to ask for money are a headache.
The big officials can't afford to offend, and the small officials don't want much money.
She is going to come and go horizontally and vertically. She is blamed for not completing her errands, and offending a group of people at the bottom.
So this job is not a good job.
Almost half of the imperial court, and some of them are powerful and family members.
The emperor wanted to completely turn Shi Qing into a solitary minister and cut off the possibility of her standing on the side.
This is also a good thing, no matter who the new emperor ascends to the throne in the future will not affect Shi Qing.
Shijia can also be safe in the invisible storm in the future.
Isn't it inappropriate?"
"Besides her, there is no more suitable person for the court."
The emperor glanced at Sir Qian, "Aiqing, what do you think?"
The emperor also observed Shi Qing for a long time.
First the imperial study confronted Chang Shu, then asked Sun Qiran in the tent, and finally confronted the eldest prince and her own younger brother, who were not afraid at all, not afraid of offending others.
With this courage and lip service, there is no one in the court who is more suitable to ask for official silver than her.
It doesn't seem so conspicuous.
The reason why Mr. Qian recommended Shi Qing is obvious, Qian Huanhuan's thorough investigation of the enclosure case is due to Shi Qing's assistance.
Not to mention Shi Ju, Shi Qing's mother, it's normal to promote her own family.
There are Shiyong Hou and Du Yushi as the backing that Shi Qing can see.
If it is really embarrassing, isn't there still her invisible trust.
Master Qian's face was straight, and he couldn't see any excess emotions, and said slowly, "I also think that the young adults are very suitable. Lord Shi, the level of ability has nothing to do with age, the heroes are few years old. "
Shi Ju is different from Mr. Qian. Mr. Qian is willing to let Qian Huanhuan take risks, but Shi Ju is a little reluctant.
Especially when Shi Qing has his own ideas, Shi Ju will not directly decide for her.
The emperor sipped the tea cup without urging.
"If Shi Aiqing didn't think about it, then go back and think about it carefully," the emperor looked at her, "Shi Qing has already set foot in the court, she can't hide under your wings for a lifetime, she needs Practicing and growing."
"Look at Qian Shinu," the emperor took Qian Huanhuan as an example, "I worked with Qian Aiqing as an errand at the age of fifteen, and now I can handle it alone. Although this enclosure case is dangerous, But it did a great job.”
More
If it wasn't for the luck to meet Shi Qing and Yun Zhi, she might be gone the night she just returned to Beijing.
Sir Qian heard the emperor's praise, lowered his eyes humbly and said, "The emperor praised, it is true to praise his beloved daughter. She is just doing errands for the court and sharing the emperor's worries, this is what she should do, nothing commendable."
Having said that, her face was raised.
The emperor praised Qian Huanhuan for being promising, that is to praise her mother for teaching well, and to praise her is to praise the whole Qian family.
The Sun family is now in decline, and the people under her will be nothing without Prime Minister Sun.
The current courtroom belongs to her Qian family.
This kind of power is almost under one person and over ten million people.
The entire Qian family will definitely reach the top in her hands, and push it to the top!
Mom Qian looked down at the car board in front of her, her eyes were full of ambition and desire.
Shi Ju said: "Can you go back and think about this matter carefully, and ask Shi Qing's opinion."
The emperor nodded, "Then Aiqing should think about it faster, don't delay it until early summer.
"Yes."
Shi Qing had no idea what was going on here.
Qian Cancan saw her from far away, and turned his arm around Qian Huanhuan's arm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Here comes the one who wants money."
Shi Qing has nothing to do without going to the Three Treasures Hall, and he must be here for the six hundred taels of silver.
Qian Huanhuan's eyelids twitched and looked up at Shi Qing.
Shi Qing walked over with curved eyebrows, in a very good mood, facing the eyes of the two sisters of the Qian family, straight to the point, "The enclosure case is over, do you have to give the remaining six hundred taels? ?"
The flesh on Qian Huanhuan's thigh was aching.
"Are you a censor or a debt collector?" Qian Cancan tutted, "The money rush from the bank under usury is not as urgent as you urge."
"Isn't the reason for my urging because you didn't take the initiative?" Shi Qing pointed at the two of them and condemned in his tone, "Unconsciously, I still need to mention this in person, I will Ashamed of you."
The wound on the corner of Qian Cancan's mouth, which was bruised by his teeth, has scabbed over, and the slap on his face yesterday by Qian's mother has also swelled up. How much effort was used.
"Stupid." Shi Qing was proud.
Qian Cancan rolled his eyes indifferently.
"Don't worry, I won't miss you a penny." Qian Huanhuan saw that the two of them did not have any grudges because of what happened yesterday. Smile.
Qian Huanhuan doesn't mean to be reckless, to be reckless with untrustworthy people, not to mention that she also wants to make Shiqing this friend.
"The silver is not with me. I will send it to your mansion in person after I return to Beijing. If there is a little less, you can ask your husband to carry a sword and come to the Qian mansion to ask me for it."
Mr. Qian's face-loving personality, if someone comes to collect debts, he will definitely get angry.
Since Qian Huanhuan dared to take this bet, it means that she will not cheat.
Shi Qing was relieved, "That's alright, let's meet in Beijing."
Shi Qing walked in the direction of his carriage, Qian Huanhuan looked at her back and said to Qian Cancan, "Shi Qing is not like the rumors in Beijing. It's good to get up."
It's a bit expensive.
First fifty taels, then six hundred and sixty taels, she didn't dare to think about the next time.
The money from Qian Huanhuan's private house has been squeezed cleanly by Shi Shi. In the future, he may even give a reward to someone, and he will secretly borrow a little from Qian Cancan.
Qian Cancan smiled and tutted, "What is easy to get along with, she is a stingy who fell into Qian's eyes."
“…”
Qian Huanhuan was silent, looking up at the sky, feeling that his sister's shot not only pierced Shi Qing, but also pierced her knee.
Although the enclosure case was over and the emperor said that he would return to the capital for meritorious deeds, Qian Huanhuan had absolutely no expectations.
The money and rewards will not fall into her hands, and some of them are just a good-sounding false name.
She looked at Qian Cancan, her eyes fell on her face, and she asked her with a slight frown, "Does it still hurt?"
Mother was also willing to do it yesterday, so she slapped her directly in the face without giving any face.
"It hurts," Qian Cancan pressed the tip of his tongue against the wound at the corner of his mouth. The smile just faded away, and he said sarcastically, "Pain is the only way to remember."
Why didn't my mother slap her to death.
Qian Cancan rubbed the wrench on his thumb with a condescending expression on his face.
Qian Huanhuan sighed, reached out and patted her arm, feeling powerless.
She said she was the world daughter of Shiyonghou Mansion, but in fact she couldn't even protect her own sister, let alone think about other things.
Qian Huanhuan has yet to marry a husband. First, her mother has not spoken, and secondly, she has no such heart.
The sisters did not continue to talk about this topic in a tacit understanding.
Qian Cancan turned his head and asked the servant next to him, "Have you prepared what I want?"
The servant nodded in response, "It's ready, the best bird's nest supplements are all delivered from Beijing overnight."
Qian Huanhuan looked at Qian Cancan suspiciously when he heard this, "What do you want these for? You've already returned to Beijing, why are you still sending them?"
Qian Cancan smiled, "Of course it's gloomy."
She squeezed her emerald finger and said, "Yesterday I fell in love with Mr. Shen Yu at first sight, but I can't please one or two."
Qian Huanhuan's face turned serious, "No."
She stopped her servants and said to Qian Cancan, "Yesterday's events finally passed, and even this mother is not sure whether the eldest prince will be angry with the Qian family because of Shen Yu."
"You are still rushing to give gifts in front of everyone's eyes. Don't you add fuel to the fire? If mother finds out, she will be angry."
"Is she less angry?" Qian Cancan sneered, "I found her a son-in-law at the level of a prince, shouldn't she be happy? Take the line of the eldest prince, How nice."
And the eldest prince? If Qian Cancan really had something to do with Shen Yu, the eldest prince would like to kill the Qian family.
"Sister," Qian Cancan smiled, "Just let me do whatever I want."
Qian Huanhuan's jaw tightened, and finally released the fingers holding Qian Cancan's arm.
Qian Cancan asked the servants to send the things to Shen Yu, that is to say, she sent it from Qian Cancan.
She just wanted to let everyone know that she looked gloomy.
"Damn things." The eldest prince let the things be thrown out directly, his face was cold.
A concubine of the Qian family dares to have a relationship with him? She saw that Shen Yu was purely a toad who wanted to eat swan meat, wishful thinking!
It's just that the eldest prince is not sure if this is Qian Cancan's own idea, or Shiyonghou's intention.
The Qian family is now the only one, so don't they put him in the eyes of the eldest prince?
The eldest prince's eyes flickered, his fingers lifted the curtain beside the carriage and looked out.
Qian Cancan made a lot of noise, which attracted everyone to watch.
The eldest prince's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fingertips.
To say that this spring hunt, he was the most angry, and a good abacus was ruined by Prime Minister Sun.
This old thing Sun Qiran is simply courting death!
The next person came over and stood outside the carriage. Fu Li lowered his head and asked softly, "His Royal Highness, we are about to leave for Beijing, do you want the young master to come?"
The eldest prince withdrew his hand and the curtain fell down.
He closed his eyes tiredly and put his fingers on his forehead, "No need, let him sit with his mother for a while, I want to rest in peace."
The husband and wife, because of the noble status of the eldest prince, took two cars.
"Departure to Beijing—"
A palace attendant shouted outside.
The carriages moved slowly forward.
Shi Qing asked Mihe suspiciously, "Where's Yun Zhi?"
She didn't see him when she went to ask for money just now.
Shi Qing lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, but did not see Yun Zhi outside, "You won't run away secretly, will you?"
Yun Zhi left before the money arrived?
The end of Mihe's eyes twitched, "What did you say, little master, the master just said that he has something to do, and he will catch up with us later."
It's fine if it doesn't run.
Shi Qing heaved a sigh of relief, otherwise Yun Zhi had no money and no scheming, and if he went out and was sold, he might have helped the number of people.
"Then let's slow down and wait for him."
Shi Qing lowered the curtain, pulled the melon seed plate and started nibbling on the melon seeds.
The melon seeds are really fragrant.
Shi Qing once ate at Babao Pavilion and fell in love with it, and often people buy some to come back to eat.
She went to the jewelry store to buy melon seeds instead of jewelry.
In the end, in order to save Shi's family from visiting a few times, I just let people sell the recipe to Shiqing, which is convenient for everyone.
Shi Qing has not felt thirsty for the past two days. She thinks that she may have eaten more melon seeds before.
Shi Qing nibbled the seeds and looked at the transparent panel. This time Qian Cancan did her cannon fodder work. Shi Qing thought that the "rape male protagonist" part of the mission should have been completed. , the progress is only fifteen percent.
Something is wrong.
This task should be abolished even if it cannot be completed.
After all, Qian Cancan directly disrupted the plot, and now that she saves Shen Yu from her own hands, the eldest prince will not treat her differently.
This task is doomed to be completed.
I nibbled melon seeds.
If the task is not completed, the color of the health bar in the life bar will not change, and she is still in a state of "living".
Tired, destroy.
Shi Qing raised his eyes and looked forward, Yun Zhi pointed his toes on the cross-board of the carriage, bent down and opened the curtain to enter.
"Why did you go?" Shi Qing looked at him and said faintly, "You know how to come back."
"There's something." Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, but he didn't look at her, the cat shrugged and sat next to Shi Qing.
Shi Qing stared at Yun Zhi's reddish auricle, alarming in his heart.
No, no, no.
She straightened her back and pointed at Yun Zhi's nose, "You don't have a crush on someone these two days, do you? Then you secretly talked to someone behind my back?"
For example, the fifth princess, under her persistent request, Yun Zhi finally failed to resist.
Shi Qing suddenly felt that the red robe he was wearing had green in the red.
The already unpleasant mood is even more stuffy.
The same faction was promised, but he turned his head and betrayed because of beauty.
"Am I not better-looking than others?" Shi Qing is confident, "Which one in the whole capital is more beautiful than my mother and me? You are a little blind man, you don't understand beauty."
Yun Zhi was stunned by her question, and stretched out her finger, "What do you think? What is beautiful or not."
"Then why did you go?" Shi Qing stared at him.
Yun Zhi's face was slightly warmed by her focused and angry eyes, her throat was tight, and her expression was unnatural, but there was an indescribable itch in her heart.
"Guess what?" Yun Zhi smiled, looking at Shi Qing with clear eyes, "Close your eyes, I'll show you something."
Shi Qing is not!
"You close it first." Yun Zhi simply did it himself, covering Shi Qing's eyes with an empty hand.
"Mysterious." Shi Qing said to him.
Yun Zhi didn't refute, he took out a warm little thing from his arms with red earlobes and handed it to Shi Qing.
Yun Zhi let go of his hand and gestured for a clear look, "For you."
Shi Qing looked at Yun Zhi in surprise, "Rabbit!"
She held the rabbit in her palms with both hands, her mood turned cloudy in a second, "Are you going to catch a rabbit for me just now?"
"Yeah." Yun Zhi replied with a nasal voice.
He sat with a big knife and a golden horse, his hand unconsciously touched the tip of his nose, his eyelashes dropped, "Didn't your one run away, this one will be paid to you."
He looked clear from the corner of his eye, "Aren't you angry now?"
Shi Qing Taohua smiled and touched the long ears of the little white rabbit, "I'm never angry at all."
Stubborn. Yun Zhi smiled.
Shi Qing held the rabbit and looked left and right, Yun Zhi thought she was confirming whether it was the one from yesterday.
The white rabbits all look the same, how could Yun Zhi know which one was the one that Shi Qing ran away from yesterday?
He was a little nervous, afraid that Shiqing would not be satisfied, but he heard her say a little regretfully, "It's good, just a little small."
"?"
Yun Zhi was at a loss, the one yesterday was not big.
Shi Qing sighed, weighed the shivering little white rabbit and said, "That's not enough, half steamed and half braised."
“…”
Yun Zhi pursed her thin lips and reached out to grab the rabbit.
You shouldn't catch her!
Shi Qing smiled and hugged the rabbit to avoid Yun Zhi's hand, "Just kidding, it's still so small, I don't want to eat it."
At least until it grows up.
"I'll give it a name," Shi Qing looked sideways at Yun Zhi and then at the rabbit, "Let's call it Xiao Baiyun."
After all, it was captured by Yun Zhi, with a cloud character.
Yun Zhi's face turned red, and he couldn't help looking out of the window. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that although Shi Qing was about to eat the rabbits one by one, he still ate the sunflower seeds to feed the rabbits. A faint smile appeared in his eyes.
It was like seeing birds gliding across the clear sky, and like a move that broke through the bottleneck once, there was an indescribable sense of joy and satisfaction.
The same as when I came back from the Royal Hunting Ground, I set off in the morning and arrived at the capital in the evening.
Mrs. Li had already prepared food and hot water in the mansion.
Shi Ju walked towards him, Li took the coat from her hand, put it on her forearm and held it in her arms. However, a simple and casual action made both of them smile.
"Are you having fun?" Mrs. Li asked Shi Qing and Yun Zhi who came in later.
"It's quite...happy." Shi Qing thought about it, except for the thrills, it's still happy, after all, the money is in hand.
She took the rabbit from Mihe's hand and showed it to Mrs. Li like a treasure, "Look at me, Dad."
“…”
Shi Qing pondered, "Actually, this is what Yun Zhi captured and gave to me."
To be precise, it was paid to her.
Li was silent, not knowing how to answer for a while.
He looked at Yun Zhi, Yun Zhi lowered his head and pulled his sleeve to pretend to wipe the gems on the sword.
"It's all the same." Li Shi smiled dryly, "Just keep it."
Shi Qing gave the rabbit to Mihe and asked her to raise it in a cage.
A gem the size of a thumb cap was also delivered.
It was sent by Qian Cancan.
Shi Qing pinched her eyes and smiled, "She is sensible."
The size and color of the gemstone is exactly the same as the one on the scabbard of Yun Zhi’s sword.
When Yun Zhi came in, Shi Qing was counting the money.
Yun Zhi's eyes lit up immediately and leaned over, his hands were lying on the table, his **** was sitting on the opposite side of the round stool, his eyes were bright and he looked at Shi Qing, "Is the number correct?"
Finally, it's time to share!
"Yes." Shi Qing took out fifty taels of silver, put it in front of Yun Zhi, and said in an encouraging tone, "This time it is you who has worked hard, and you will make persistent efforts next time."
Yun Zhi looked at Shi Qing silently.
"Xingba Xingba," Shi Qing reluctantly added another fifty taels to him, and at the same time closed the box and hugged him in his arms, saying bitterly, "Yun Shaoxia, you need to be a human being. Contentment, but not too greedy."
Yun Zhi glared at her.
A total of six hundred taels, so she gave him one hundred taels? !
How to say:
Is it you? Time to pull!
Yun Zhi's eyes flashed, he stretched out his hand and began to unpack the box, "One person and one half!"
Yun is practicing martial arts, and she is practicing arrows.
Until Yun Zhi started to get serious, he used all his strength to yank the box towards him.
He pulled too suddenly, and Shi Qing was holding the box tightly, so he was pulled along with the box.
Shi Qing's body uncontrollably leaned forward—
On Yun Zhi's chin.
Shiqing made a painful "uh" sound.
“…”
The air in the room seemed to be drained all at once, Yun Zhi even forgot how to breathe, his eyelashes fell and he looked at Shi Qing, standing in a daze.
Shi Qing was also stunned.
Because the panel she habitually hides suddenly jumped out and blocked her eyes.
Shi Qing clearly saw that the progress of the task jumped from 15% to 25%!
Time seems to have passed for a long time, and it also seems to be only so fleeting.
Yun Zhi reacted first, let go of the box and pulled back.
—Don’t move!
Just as he was about to step back, Shi Qing quickly put his hand on his neck and moved the person forward.
The four lip **** are stuck together again.
"!"
Task progress: Thirty percent!
There was a buzzing in Yun Zhi's ears, he couldn't hear anything else, he could only hear the thumping sound of his heart in his chest, like beating a drum, his face was even redder to his neck.
He glared at Shi Qing.
I realized what I did just now, and let go of him embarrassedly, "You, you listen to me and you quibble."
Can't blame her, after all, who can resist the temptation of life.
Shi Qing first kissed the man, even though he just posted it, his expression was a little unnatural.
Yun Zhi almost laughed.
Shi Qing looked up at him and whispered, "I'm sorry."
Yun Zhi raised his hand to touch his lips and chin, but halfway up, his eyes flashed red and he put his hand down.
He wanted to say "it's okay" to Shi Qing, he is a man, even if he apologizes, he should be the one to apologize.
Until you hear what you just said-
"I kissed you just now."
“…”
