"The case of Zhu Ping'an, a reader in the Hanlin Academy, impeaching Zhao Daying has now been investigated. There is solid evidence that Zhao Daying killed innocent people and took credit for it. He killed 59 people in Liujia Village, including women and children, and pretended to be the heads of Tartars to deceive the emperor. Zhao Qiu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, and others covered up for Zhao Daying, treated the law as a joke, and had no ministerial manners. They will be punished according to the law. Zhu Ping'an has made merit in impeaching and is appointed as the Minister of the Cabinet; however, he ignored the wanted order and acted inappropriately. Zhu Ping'an, a reader in the Hanlin Academy, has been fined one year's salary for excessive rewards..."
Zhu Pingan put the document in his hand on the table, his face was full of pain, and he was upset about being fined one year's salary. His salary was not much to begin with, and now he was fined another year's salary.
"How can I fine you one year's salary? It's like cutting your flesh."
Li Shu's rosy lips lifted up slightly, she pouted and teased Zhu Ping'an, her watery eyes blinked, as clear as crystal soaked in water, and exuded a charm.
Purity and charm are just right in Li Shu, blending into an extremely beautiful style that is hard to resist.
Li Shu, this little devil.
Even though Zhu Ping'an knew every inch of Li Shu's skin, he was still distracted for a moment under Li Shu's charm.
"The Yunmeng County wanted notice itself is problematic. Besides, ignorance is not a crime. How can it be justified to fine someone one year's salary?"
After Zhu Ping'an came back to his senses, he curled his lips. It was not that he was stingy, but now it was not just one person's food that fed the whole family. He had already started a family, and as a man, he naturally had to shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family.
Although he still had a hundred taels of silver on him, it was certain that this amount of money was not enough to support his family. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was just a drop in the bucket.
Li Shu has been spoiled by the rich man Li, no, by her father-in-law since she was a child. Even the resources enjoyed by the Princess of the Ming Dynasty are probably not much more than those enjoyed by Li Shu, or even less than those enjoyed by Li Shu.
Let's not talk about other things. Even the rouge and powder that Li Shu used every month cost at least more than ten taels of silver. Not to mention Li Shu's clothes and jewelry. In addition, the food and drink expenses of the maids in the house were not small amounts either.
His salary was already insufficient, and he was fined for a year. How could he support his family? Naturally, Zhu Ping'an would be dissatisfied.
Zhu Ping'an even suspected that Emperor Jiajing was short of money for making elixirs and deliberately found an excuse to deduct his salary.
"It's just a few dozen taels of silver." Li Shu laughed upon seeing this, her teeth as white as jade.
Not just...
Well, in Li Shu's eyes, these dozens of taels of silver were indeed not worth mentioning. Even if she saved it, it was not enough for her to buy rouge and powder for half a year. Zhu Ping'an knew this well, and then he felt even more pressured.
Mr. Li, no, my father-in-law has spoiled Li Shu for more than ten years, and I can't let this girl suffer when I take over. I can't let Li Shu support the family. How can I, a man of seven feet tall, be a gigolo? If so, how can I be a husband
Therefore, the tertiary industry must be developed as soon as possible.
Even if he was fined one year's salary, he could encourage himself to engage in the tertiary industry. Zhu Ping'an knew how big the commercial profits were.
Just as Li Shu said, the annual salary is only a few dozen taels of silver, which is not enough to support a family. Compared with the business profit, it is not even a fraction.
If you want to punish me, then go ahead and punish me.
After Zhu Pingan figured it out, he nodded and smiled, "Indeed, it's just a few dozen taels of silver. Just consider it as my gift to His Majesty. How many people want to give gifts to His Majesty but can't."
Li Shu blinked in surprise. Zhu Ping'an was feeling so painful just now, how come he figured it out so quickly
"I've been bored at home these days waiting for the case to be closed. I want to go out for a walk. Do you want to come with me?" Zhu Ping'an stretched his body, stretched his muscles, looked at Li Shu and Baozi, the little maid, and asked.
Hearing this, Li Shu's eyes lit up, and when she looked at Zhu Ping'an, the blend of purity and charm in her eyes became even more intense.
The little maid Baozi nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice, saying yes and yes repeatedly.
Under the constraints of feudal ethics, in ancient times, girls were kept in the inner courtyard of the house from childhood, and after they grew up and got married, they were kept in the inner courtyard of the house. Basically, they had few opportunities to go out and see the outside world. Therefore, festivals such as the Qiqiao Festival and the Lantern Festival, which allowed them to go out, were so precious to girls in the inner courtyard.
Which girl would like to be confined in the backyard? No matter how rich her home life is, it will be boring day after day, and she will be forced to get used to it.
Li Shu's eyes lit up for a second, then she shook her head, "Let's forget about it today. When I was paying my respects to grandma yesterday, I got a message saying that my eldest sister is coming back home today, and grandma wants us sisters to spend some time with her..."
"Oh, yes." The chubby little maid hung her head, like an eggplant hit by frost.
"It's okay. I'll go out today to see what delicious food and fun things there are, and I'll take you there tomorrow." Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly.
“You only know how to eat…” Li Shu rolled her eyes cutely.
The chubby little maid nodded happily, her eyes narrowed into crescents, and her chubby little face was rosy.
"Where there are delicious and fun things to do, I want to go too..."
There was a sound of a naughty kid howling outside, and then the door was pushed open. The naughty kid squeezed in through the crack of the door like a ball.
"Niuniu wants to go too." The little loli Niuniu behind also squeezed in. After coming in, she greeted Li Shu and Zhu Pingan obediently.
"No, your eldest sister is returning home to her parents' home today, you are not allowed to follow her." Li Shu shook her head and taught them a lesson.
"I don't want the eldest sister. The eldest sister always scolds people with a stern face. She is a hundred times more old-fashioned than the teacher. I don't want to play with her. I won't play with her even if I am beaten to death."
The naughty kid's head was shaking like a rattle and his fat face was shaking like a bull terrier. When he thought of his elder sister, his calves cramped and he resisted very much.
"Eldest sister doesn't like Niuniu, and scolds Niuniu for being born of a bitch..."
The little Loli Niuniu also lowered her head, her big round eyes were red and aggrieved, like a little rabbit, and it seemed like she would cry in the next second, which made people feel distressed just by looking at her.
"She is the one..." The naughty kids shared a common hatred for the enemy.
faint
If the eldest lady heard this, she would beat you up, because the eldest daughter is the eldest lady's eldest daughter...
Zhu Ping'an looked at the naughty kid speechlessly.
"Forget it, I'll take them out. They don't make a difference with two little ones." Zhu Ping'an picked up the little Loli Niuniu and said to Li Shu.
"Okay, then I'll tell my grandmother and aunt later." Li Shu nodded.
Li Shu was also aware of some things going on in the mansion. Leaving these two little ones, especially the naughty one, would probably cause trouble.
"Niuniu, I'm relieved. But Rui is a naughty boy, so you have to take good care of him." Li Shu reminded Zhu Ping'an when he was taking the two children out.
"rest assured."
Zhu Ping'an nodded and led the jumping naughty kid and the little loli out the door.
