Chapter 227 Settlement of Accounts
Zhou Qing's eyes twitched when he saw Zhou Huaishan acting like a primary school student who didn't recognize his relatives after he got first place in the exam.
"Your goal in life is to become a scholar?
Not to mention being a scholar, even if you win the election, you can take over the lawsuit and run rampant in the countryside? Can you live the same dull life as before? "
Zhou Huaishan opened his mouth, "Then don't expect me to learn right away! Your father, I can't do that!"
"Weren't you quite proactive a while ago?"
"That was before. The world is changing with each passing day. Don't people make progress? Am I still the same person I was yesterday?"
After saying that, Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes, pulled Zhou Qing closer, glanced around cautiously, and lowered his voice: "Besides, do you really think that all the high-ranking officials in the township who can win lawsuits are all passed the examination? "
Zhou Qing
He blinked his wide eyes and looked at Zhou Huaishan, waiting for the next words.
Zhou Huaishan coughed and cleared his throat.
“Of course, someone must have passed the exam.
For example, Hu Weiyue was born in a poor family, but he was extremely talented, and he was a professional official.
But there are other ways!
Just like Shen Li, he didn't just take the scientific examination, he directly had explosive strength and IQ. After three years of training in the shadows, he became a powerful minister. "
Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Huaishan in shock.
He swept him up and down, "Dad? Are you planning to use force?"
Zhou Huaishan raised his hand and slapped Zhou Qing on the head, "Force is nothing! Are your father and I carrying a hoe to fight with others?"
Zhou Qing
"Then what do you mean?"
"I'm just telling you that there is not only one way to success, but studying. We have other ways."
"What way?"
Zhou Huaishan raised his hand and made a gesture of rubbing the pads of his index finger and big ruber finger together.
"Money?" Zhou Qing raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Huaishan nodded with a smile, "Since we can't endure the hardship of studying, and we don't have the explosive martial arts value, let's use money to make a splash in Kyoto!"
After saying that, Zhou Huaishan straightened his back and put his hands on his hips.
"Don't worry, my daughter, for up to half a year, dad will be your best support!"
Zhou Qing
"No, dad, I understand that money can make a splash, but the key point is, where does the money come from? The little I earn is not enough for you to make a splash."
Zhou Huaishan glanced at Zhou Qing contemptuously, "The mountain man has his own clever plan!"
After saying that, he walked forward with a swaggering step like a devil who doesn't recognize his relatives.
"Dad, where are you going!"
"Go home! Where can you go if you don't go home after buying a house!"
"You know the way!"
"Nonsense, I won't live if I don't recognize this place anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, Zhou Huaishan's back suddenly stiffened.
Zhou Qing was stunned for a moment.
Sure enough, is this Kyoto the same Kyoto where Zhou Huaishan was the dandy prince?
With a flash of thought, Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Huaishan's slightly stiff back. As if he didn't understand the meaning of the words at all, he stepped forward with a smile and took Zhou Huaishan's arm.
"Dad, you men really have a strong sense of direction! By the way, Dad, I have a question that I'm curious about."
Zhou Huaishan dragged his stiff shoulders, looked ahead with his heart pounding, and said nervously: "What?"
He is not afraid to tell Zhou Qing the truth.
But he was afraid that Zhou Qing would do something impulsive if he only knew the truth.
She was not afraid that Zhou Qing would harm anyone impulsively, but she was afraid that Zhou Qing would harm herself and he would not be able to save her.
He's lost enough.
Can't afford to lose it anymore.
For the rest of his life, he will not lose anything, only get it back.
Zhou Qing said with a smile: "Dad, you just said that the force is incredible. Where did you hear this?"
This is not an ancient word.
Seeing Zhou Qing ask this, Zhou Huaishan's tense heart relaxed and he said: "Of course I got it from reading! Young people, if you are ugly, you should read more, so that when others say you are ugly, you can at least say you are thoughtful!"
Zhou Qing
have to!
I shouldn't be so kind!
I should just watch you with fear and stiffness in your back!
The two men chatted and laughed all the way to the new house.
The house is just over Xinghua Lane, where officials of all sizes live. It is only a hundred meters adjacent to the place Zhou Huaishan gave to Hu Weiyue.
Having seen Shen Li's yard in the county town, and last night the Guangping uncle's house, Zhou Qing was not too surprised when he entered these two houses again today.
But my heart is happy and peaceful.
This is her home!
Although the house is not big, it is enough for a three-bedroom family to live together.
Looking around at the new house, Zhou Qing said to Zhou Huaishan: "Dad, let's give Mr. Hu the house, can Mr. Hu accept it?"
Zhou Huaishan rolled his eyes, "When you robbed Song Qi, he even shared the stolen money with you, let alone a house."
Zhou Qing
Zhou Huaishan strolled leisurely in his new house with his hands behind his back.
"Don't worry, Hu Weiyue is not a pedantic person.
Besides, all his wealth now is the stolen money shared with you, and he has no more money to spend on buying a house.
He is the Minister of the Ministry of War, is he going to live somewhere else?
As for the imperial court’s allocation of rooms, I don’t know when it will be until then. I can’t stay in an inn until then!
This is what we call providing help in times of need.
What's more, since Hu Weiyue was reused this time, many people in the court were jealous of him. Many people ran against him, but few helped him.
Not to mention providing help in times of need, it would be nice not to rub charcoal on his face.
At this time, if we can become his support in a certain sense, then he will be more confident.
He has an official position and power, and we have money, which is called mutual benefit.
That's why I said that he can be your support in Guangping Marquis's Mansion. "
Zhou Qing
Who said that dude is stupid?
Her father is simply the smartest of the smart.
"But, Dad, we don't have much money!"
As they talked, the father and son walked into a small pavilion.
Sitting on the railing in the pavilion, Zhou Qing counted on his fingers and began to count.
"I received a total of 5,000 taels from Zhou Huaihai.
You got 800 taels from selling cricket cages at that time.
I kept 24,000 taels from Song Qi.
The son of the Zhenguo Mansion gave 5,000 taels to the buyer.
Two hundred thousand taels on the snowy day.
These days, Jinxiufang has received 3,000 taels.
The copper pot hot pot has not been settled yet.
The money from selling flowers before was basically used for daily expenses in the past period of time.
This time I spent 35,000 to buy the house. "
As they counted, the father and son looked at each other in astonishment.
"My daughter, did all the money in our family come from robbery?"
Zhou Qing
Although the words are not very pleasant, it seems that this is the case!
The way to get rich is not right!
What about the hard work and effort to get rich?
With a twitch in his eyes, Zhou Qing grinned and said, "Dad, look, our family is in this situation now. Is this more than 200,000 taels of silver enough to support Lord Hu?"
"Enough is shit! Not to mention supporting Lord Hu, even if we want to use the silver to make a splash in Kyoto, we will have to spend about 50,000 taels in three months, and these 200,000 taels will only be enough for one year.
If we make a splash within this year, it will be worth it.
If we don't make a splash."
Zhou Qing
"Dad, why don't we just study! There is a golden house in the book!"
"Look at your cowardly look! Am I the kind of person who would retreat when faced with difficulties? "
