Chapter 664 Find Out Fourth Master's Temperament
Looking like a rock, he looks energetic.
A pair of eyes are piercing, shining with the light of ambition.
After years of wind and sun, he has healthy skin of flaxen color.
His back was straight, and he was full of arrogance, striding towards the Hubu.
Following him was a large guard.
"Master, I heard that you were recommended by the eighth master this time. The fourth master is also true. He took you in early back then, but put you in that small place in Yangzhou for five years. It was agreed to let you return to Beijing, It will be reused, a year has passed, and there is still no news. If it weren't for Baye this time, you don't know how long you will have to wait!"
After hearing this, Nian Gengyao's cheeks puffed up, as if he was also angry about it.
In the past five years, he has never understood fourth master's painstaking efforts.
In the past few years in Yangzhou, he was desperately looking for a job, but he was still just a small official.
Just like Long Kedo still didn't understand Tong Guowei, why did he let him cover the cold stove of the fourth master.
It's one thing for Nian Gengyao to be unhappy, but he didn't dare to speak wild words, he just said: "This time I thank the Eighth Master from the bottom of my heart for recommending me, but my master will always be the Fourth Master."
"Why? Isn't Ba Ye very good now, and there are many supporters in the DPRK and China."
"Those who can convince me, Nian Gengyao, are those who value love and righteousness, and dare to act. People like the eighth master are not a little bit worse than the fourth master. Take this time to seize the national treasury as an example. , Ba Ye has long been hiding away. Ren Si Ye dared to take on this job, and this is what convinced me." Nian Gengyao said.
"Oh." Although the subordinates felt that Nian Gengyao, as a small sesame official, still looked down on Ba Ye, it was a bit crazy, but they couldn't say much.
"Okay, stop talking nonsense, enter the Forbidden City, and speak carefully with your tongue."
"Yes, this subordinate knows."
After a while, Nian Gengyao arrived at the household department.
After explaining his purpose, the guards invited him to the fourth master's room.
"Slave Nian Gengyao, I have met the fourth master." As soon as Nian Gengyao entered the door, he kowtowed and saluted.
Fourth master didn't answer him immediately, and after a few seconds, he put down the ledger in his hand.
He said lightly: "Lianggong is here, sit down."
Lianggong is Nian Gengyao's trade name. After hearing this, he sat down in the armchair in the room.
"Fourth Master, I heard that Long Live Lord's prospective slave is working with you, so I rushed here without stopping. I will follow Fourth Master's instructions for all arrangements." Nian Gengyao said respectfully.
"Don't worry, you sit down first and wait for the master to read the ledger." Fourth Master said, then continued to bow his head and review the ledger.
Before Nian Gengyao, he had always worked in that small place in Yangzhou.
Now that he has finally arrived in a big place like the capital, he is gearing up for a long time and can't wait to show his talents.
I can't wait for the fourth master to arrange a big errand for him, so that he can honor his ancestors and turn Xianyu over.
Because since his imperial examination, he has a great cause in his heart!
But at this moment, seeing how busy Fourth Master was, he didn't like to talk too much, so he just drank hot tea, cup after cup.
During the period, I went to the hut twice.
After some time, fourth master finally spoke up.
He put down the ledger, and first told his servant, "Su Peisheng, order someone to send fifty thousand taels of silver to Brother Thirteen's house, and he must accept it."
"Yes, yes, do you have any other orders?" Su Peisheng hunched over and asked with his head tilted.
The thirteenth master lost his mother, so life would be more difficult.
After having a mansion outside, the mansion has to take care of it again.
It is estimated that life is really poor, so I borrowed money from the treasury.
"There is also Dali Temple Minister Liu Yude, Lian Jie went to his mother's funeral, and he didn't have any money to bury him. He had to borrow five hundred taels of silver from the imperial court. You also have someone send it to him, and pay it back for him."
"Hey! I'll let someone do it, my slave." Su Peisheng replied.
Nian Gengyao had been sitting in the room, and after hearing what fourth master said, he felt more and more that he had followed the right person.
Think about the current imperial court, which prince is so kind.
Not only to help the brothers return tens of thousands of taels of silver.
He also made up the filial piety money for honest officials.
Moreover, both of these are not asking for anything in return, and there is no interest involved.
Even though his heart was full of admiration for fourth master, he didn't talk much.
Because over the years, he has more or less figured out fourth master's temperament.
This one is different from those princes, he was careful to flatter the horse's hoof.
Immediately afterwards, fourth master called Chen Biao in again and assigned those errands to different officials.
And those officials, of course, have not borrowed money from the court at present.
After everything was arranged, he looked at Nian Gengyao.
"Liang Gong, Qi Shiwu, Tuo Heqi, Huang Tiren, Xiao Guoxing... a group of people are waiting, and you will lead them to ask for debts."
"Hey, I'm going to do it now, slave!" Nian Gengyao said and got up.
Even if he just returned to the capital, he knew that these people were all under the crown prince.
He also heard just now that fourth master left all the difficult tasks to Tian Wenjing and Zhang Tingyu.
The ones left for him were moderately difficult people, which showed that they still liked him.
Fourth master raised his eyes and glanced at Nian Gengyao, seeing that he was not worried about offending the prince, he appreciated him a little more.
In the next few days, it seemed that such a group of people could be seen in the streets and alleys of the capital.
They always go in and out of big families in the capital, or in the mansions of officials' children.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear the sound of wrangling.
Some people even carried out large and small boxes directly from the official's mansion.
The prince asked people to contact the scholars who were rushing for the exam, and wanted to pay off the debt by selling an official.
However, the most interesting one is Master Shi.
As the elder brother of the royal family, in order to collect money to pay off his debts, he really did what he said, throwing everything away!
At this time, he was at the most prosperous intersection in the capital, selling his property.
He also asked someone to build a high platform, which looked decent.
Anyway, the servants yelled hard, and he himself sat on the grand master's chair on the high platform.
This proves that these things are indeed from his house.
Here, the royal family is the belief of the nation.
No one is chasing stars, everyone is chasing people from the royal family.
Perhaps I have never seen such a down-to-earth prince, who is actually selling property in the joint seller.
Therefore, many people gathered at once.
"Come on, don't miss it when you pass by, this white jade finger ring was rewarded by the Queen Mother back then, and the auction starts at 3,000 taels!"
"And this emerald belt, carved from 18 pieces of high-quality emeralds. It was a gift from my master's son, Long Live, when he got the crown. The starting price is 50,000 taels!"
"..."
Hearing loud yells, someone really took pictures of several valuable things one after another.
Probably because they have money that they can't spend, and the name bestowed by the royal family is also a good way to show off.
Just as the auction was in full swing, a group of people dressed as guards broke into the crowd.
