The Starting Point of Raising a Husband

Chapter 47: Let me think about it, what else can I give you

Views:

Li Yunqing set up a drink for Sun Pingmei in the evening, and stood up to respect her with a glass of wine, "Thank you, Sister Sun, for giving me an idea today, and giving Qing Qing a blow at that time."

The servants of the two families just took the silver to Shifu to pay back the money. Just thinking about Shi Qing's expression when he saw the thirteen taels of silver, Li Yunqing could drink two glasses of wine.

She smiled and patted her stomach, "If you don't give her some color, she won't even know who she is."

The damage to Sun Pingmei's idea is that she paid it back.

Didn't Shiqing ask for money? She gave it. As for whether it will be enough, there is no guarantee, after all, who can take out so much cash at once.

Especially since the two of them set a precedent, the example of the two of them is placed here, and others will follow suit, and it will only be more difficult to pay off debts.

Even if she sometimes bows behind her back, what's the use of supporting the Imperial Forest Army

Join her, so many officials, can you come here

Confiscating the house, just for this little money

That really chilled the hearts of the courtiers, who would do their best for the court in the future.

It can only be said that Shi Qing is too young, so it is not so easy to do such an errand.

As the saying goes: the grandma is the one who owes money, and the granddaughter is the only one who asks for money.

Don't bow your knees and say something nice to beg them.

For someone as arrogant as Shi Qing, just wait for the deadline to be punished.

The two laughed and drank, and made an appointment to go to the "Tian Shang Pavilion" together in the evening to relax for a while.

"Heavenly Pavilion", as the name suggests, is an attic fairyland only in the sky, and the beauty inside is called a crisp.

Naturally, the consumption is also relatively high. It costs nearly a hundred taels of silver to go in and out without tipping.

Yesterday was Li Yunqing's treat, today it's Sun Pingmei's turn.

The two called sisters and sisters, and they were only half drunk when the two servants sent by the mansion came back.

The two covered their noses in disgrace, and shouted, "My lord."

Li Yunqing's alcohol was already on his face, he was slightly drunk, he squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, "What's the matter? If you go out on an errand, you can knock on the ground, what's the use of you two."

The servant bowed his head and said, "It wasn't knocked down, it was smashed by the servants of Shifu with money."

After speaking, he lowered his hands, and under the light of the bright lampstand in the room, he could clearly see that their noses were red and slightly swollen.

Li Yunqing and Sun Pingmei looked at each other, Jiu Jin was mostly awake, "Where's the money?"

"It was left by Shiqing." The servant replied, "Shiqing asked me to bring a word to the adults, saying that I have given you face, it is you..."

She hesitated, her voice became smaller and smaller, looking at the faces of the two adults, "You are the one who is shameless."

"Bastard!" Li Yunqing smashed his wine glass to the ground.

The servant knelt down with a plop.

Sun Pingmei waved his hand to signal the two to go down, "Why are you getting angry with them, what they are passing on is just Shi Qing's original words."

"This time is clear!" Li Yunqing gritted her teeth, "Just like her mother, she doesn't know how to flatter her!"

"Didn't she ask you to wait to watch the show tomorrow?" Sun Pingmei changed Li Yunqing to a new cup and handed it over, "Just see what she can do."

"We are not the only ones who owe money in this capital. On top of that, there is also King An Le, who is a living ancestor."

Xiao Tingyue, King of Anle, is only twenty-five or six years old this year, but she is the youngest sister of the first emperor, and the aunt of the current emperor.

It is said that Qian Cancan in Jingzhong is a dandy, but she is nothing compared to her.

This master is not short of money, but he just likes to join in the fun.

At the end of the year, others have borrowed money, and she has to follow suit.

Didn't Shiqing want to beg for money

It depends on what she can do with this ancestor.

The two ate and drank with peace of mind, and the plan for the evening remained unchanged.

Anyway, the sky is falling, and there is a tall man holding it up.

And their tall An Le Wang was feeding the dogs in the mansion at this time, and she threw large pieces of meat and bones in front of the dogs.

"Oh? Shi Qing really said that?" Xiao Tingyue heard the servants around her come back, and the gate of the mansion was bustling in the evening.

First, Sun and Li's family went to pay back the money and humiliated Shi Qing face to face. Then he fled with a bruised nose and a swollen face when he was hit by Shi Qing's servants. Shi Qing said that there would be a performance at the gate of Li's residence tomorrow, so Master Li should not miss it.

Xiao Tingyue asked the servant, "How much do we owe?"

The servant replied, "Five hundred taels in total. Master, shall we take the initiative to return it?"

"What's the rush?" Xiao Tingyue smiled, "The emperor said that Shi Qing is an interesting character, I want to see why she came to my house and asked me for money."

At Xiao Tingyue's feet, a few wolfhounds who stood up with their front feet about the height of an adult were wolfing down their heads.

interesting.

In the morning of the next day, when the morning was over, Li Yunqing invited Sun Pingmei to her house.

"Shi Qing said that there is a play to be sung, and I haven't seen anyone coming so late, so why are you being cowardly?" Li Yunqing lifted the curtain of the carriage and talked to Sun Pingmei next to her, "If it's true what Sister Sun said, she will also scare people."

Sun Pingmei said with a smile, "After all, you're young, you're not good enough."

The carriages of the two families moved forward, and before they reached the door, they heard the sound of a gong beating in front of the mansion.

Mihe held the gong in his hand and struck it vigorously, the sound was resonant.

And the imperial forest army sent by the emperor had a total of twelve people, each with a tray, standing in a half circle at the entrance of Li's residence.

Shi Qing and Yun Zhi were standing in the middle of the steps of the mansion, and Shi Qing was holding a green fan in his hand.

Yun Zhi stood next to her with his sword in his arms, and looked at the servant behind the two of them with a stick in the door of Li's mansion with warning eyes.

The gong sounded for a long time, and everyone heard the commotion and all came to watch the commotion at the entrance of the Li Mansion. The crowd surrounded the inner three floors and the outer three floors, but they didn't know what happened.

"Is Li Yunqing hired as a servant again, or is it her daughter Li Zina who is so lively?"

"I heard that it is not true. I have inquired about it. It is said that Master Xiao came to ask Li Yunqing for money on behalf of the imperial court. The money he said would be used to repair the dam for the benefit of us."

"There are other good things!"

I don't know who took the lead, the people started to shout, "Pay back the money, Li Yunqing pay back the money!"

Shi Qing raised his hands and said nothing, but the noisy voice gradually fell down.

Li Yunqing stood dumbfounded in front of her carriage, pointed at Shi Qing and the gangsters and asked Sun Pingmei, "She invited these to make trouble, right?"

Sun Pingmei was also puzzled, "It's not like that."

Shi Qing was notoriously stingy, how could he be willing to spend money out of his own pocket when doing business for the royal family.

Especially these common people, they can do everything.

The peddler who steamed the steamed buns in the morning came out to watch the fun with his face and apron on his hands.

It seems to come spontaneously.

The two were stopped outside the crowd, and they couldn't squeeze in easily.

The servants in Li's mansion were beaten up by Yun Zhi just now, and now they only dare to look at them and dare not go forward.

Shi Qingqing cleared his throat and said, "Master Li owed the court a thousand taels of silver, she said she didn't have the money in hand, and I couldn't steal the house, right, so I thought of a way for her to come to the gate of Li's house every day tell a story."

"Everyone, if you are interested in listening to it, you can reward it as you like. When the silver is enough to make up a thousand taels, when will we end it?"

story

Li Yunqing sneered, "I'd like to see what stories she can tell."

Sun Pingmei also said, "At this time, Qing Shuoshi will pay back the money for you, you just let her go, let her talk about the year of the monkey, and you can leave it alone."

Li Yunqing thought so too, until Shi Qing said—

"Once upon a time, there was a family whose hostess was named Xiaoyun, her pet servant was named Xiaoqi, and her daughter was named Xiaozi. We won't name names, as long as everyone knows who they are."

"..."

Li Yunqing's face froze, and there was a bad premonition in his heart.

She knows exactly what kind of virtue Li Zi is. In addition to the color of Shi Qing's fan, how could she not guess it

Shi Qing unfolded the fan, she was standing relatively tall, she had caught sight of Sun and Li outside the crowd from the corner of her eye, and said with a smile, "Master Li, I'll give you another chance, why don't you pay back the one thousand taels of silver?"

Li Yunqing squeezed through the crowd with a green face, stood next to Shi Qing, glared at the useless servants in the mansion, pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, "Why can anyone be presumptuous at the gate of my mansion?"

She turned her head to look at Shi Qing, and said with a smile, "My lord, if you have something to do, why don't you come in and say, you and I are both court officials, why do you make such an ugly scene in front of the common people?"

Look at these two faces.

Shi Qing smiled, "It's okay, anyway, I'm not the ugly one, as long as I'm good-looking."

Li Yunqing's jaw was tense, and he stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, "My lord, why don't you come in for a cup of tea?"

Shi Qing said: "It's not good for me to refuse your kind invitation."

She wanted to see what Li Yunqing wanted to do.

When Shi Qing left, everyone stayed outside waiting to watch the excitement, shouting, "Keep talking, keep talking, we'll pay."

Shi Qing's topic is very hot when you hear it, and the common people are most curious about those shady things in the official's mansion.

"Look at how enthusiastic they are," Shi Qing said to Li Yunqing, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, if you don't take the initiative to pay back the money, then I can only make money for you by telling stories. By then, everyone in the capital will know about this matter. The two silver coins will be earned back."

Then she would be completely ashamed to meet people in the capital.

Li Yunqing winks at Sun Ping, and the two ask Shi Qing to come in, one on the left and the other on the right.

When she and Yun Zhi came in, Li Yunqing immediately asked for the door to be closed.

"Shiqing, stay on the line." Sun Pingmei said in a deep voice.

It seems that once you enter the mansion, you can grasp Shi Qing.

"Leave one line? I'll leave two lines for you, do you want it?"

"I'm starting now, you know what I'm going to say?"

Shi Qing raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Yunqing, "Master Li, it seems that you understand your daughter's virtues very well."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Yunqing scolded: "Shi Qing, I am a fourth-rank member of the court. If you make trouble at my door, I can take you down directly!"

"The emperor only said that he wanted you to ask for money, but he didn't say that he wanted you to spread rumors and cause trouble. If you are so ignorant of flattery, don't blame me for showing no face."

Li Yunqing shouted, "Come here."

The guards in the mansion hurried over and surrounded Shi Qing and Yun Zhi.

These people all had knives in their hands, unlike the domestic servants who carried sticks.

Li Yunqing looked at Shi Qing with serious eyes and said, "You admit your mistake now, kowtow on your knees and say a few nice words, I will not embarrass you. Otherwise, I will humiliate my family and beat you first!"

Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, "What if I don't admit my mistake?"

Li Yunqing smiled sinisterly, "Then don't blame me for being rude."

She signaled the dozen or so people to take Shi Qingyun down.

Shi Qing retreats, Yun Zhi moves forward.

There was an indescribable understanding between the two.

The Imperial Forest Army were all outside, so they were not easily allowed to enter the official mansion, but Yun Zhi, Li Yunqing thought the sword in his hand was just a decoration.

No matter how powerful a man is, he is no match for a dozen guards.

However, within a few rounds, all the guards were lying on the ground, except Yun Zhi who stood still.

The sword in his hand was not even out of its sheath.

"..."

Shi Qing sat on the steps inside the door, raised his eyebrows and asked Li Yunqing, "That's it?"

Li Yunqing's expression was ugly, and she was about to step back when Shi Qing picked up the stone in his hand and was about to smash it on her knee without fail.

Li Yunqing half knelt down in pain, Sun Pingmei turned his head and scolded Shi Qing, "Shi Qing! How dare you do anything to court officials?"

Shi Qing walked over slowly, "Master Sun is very righteous and fair. When Master Li ordered someone to arrest me just now, were you blind or deaf? She is an official of the imperial court, and I am an imperial envoy of the imperial court."

"Don't talk about doing it, I'm just doing it today, what can she do to me?"

"It's okay if you don't pay back the money you owe. The imperial court gave you too much salary, so it made you so thick-skinned."

"One thousand taels of silver, did you buy all the green tiles to repair your ancestral grave? No wonder there is green smoke from the top."

Li Yunqing was scolded in the face by her pressing her head with a fan, and her face was ugly.

Shi Qing sneered:

"You are still a fourth-rank official, you are at most a four-legged green turtle."

"I'm spreading rumors, so I have to force me to tell you what color bellyband your pet is wearing?"

Yun Zhi next to him was slightly startled, and looked down at Shi Qing.

Shi Qing pointed at the door, "Many people are watching the fun outside. If you don't pay back the money, I will divide this matter of your house into five chapters and eighteen chapters, and talk about it at the door of your house every day."

"And today's matter, I will write a note later, saying that you have raised nearly a hundred guards in the mansion with one thousand taels of silver, and we don't know what you want to do?"

Shi Qing squatted in front of her, and said slowly, "Maybe I just want to rebel."

"You!" Li Yunqing stared at Shi Qing, "You are spreading rumors! The emperor will not believe it."

"It doesn't matter whether the emperor believes it or not, I just write it."

"I heard that Mr. Li still wants to use his connections to find an official position for Li Zi? If it doesn't work then, let's add another item in the booklet, buying and selling officials."

Shi Qing clapped his palms with his shiny green fan, tilted his head in thought, "Let me think about it, what more crimes can I charge you with."

"..."

Li Yunqing pointed at Shi Qing with trembling fingers, and was so angry that she almost passed out, "Your mother wouldn't even dare to interfere with me like this!"

"If you don't pay back the money within three days, guess if my mother will join you?"

Li Yunqing turned pale and dared not speak.

The emperor may have read Shiqing's excerpts and let it go, but if it was Shiju's excerpts, there must be "evidence".

The main reason is that Li Yunqing really wanted to pave the way for Li Zi through his private activities, but in the end, this bastard ruined his future and implicated her!

Li Yunqing was already fat, but recently his body was hollowed out by wine, and he got up from the ground trembling, almost out of breath.

She almost gritted her teeth and said, "I, hand it over!"

Li Yunqing was supported by servants to go to the backyard to deal with family affairs, and there was only one Sun Pingmei left.

Take one away, it's time for the next one.

Shi Qing stood up, waved his fan and looked at her, "Master Sun, when will you give me the three hundred taels of silver?"

Sun Ping's eyebrows flickered, and he was not as tough as before, "When I make up enough, I will send it over."

"Then you have to hurry up," Shi Qing snapped his fingers, "It's at most until tomorrow, if I don't get the money, I'll go sing at your door after I finish telling the story of the Sun family."

Sun Pingmei's face froze, and he didn't have the slightest look of scolding Shi Qing just now.

Officials in Beijing and China, who can have no privacy.

Especially Sun Pingmei recently ransomed an oiran outside behind her husband's back. If he finds out about this, he will definitely make a fuss.

Sun Ping's brows were tense, and he took out the silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into Shi Qing's hand first, "This is one hundred taels, I'll give it to you first, and I'll get the remaining two hundred taels back to you."

Although the officials of the DPRK and China know that there is something shameful about each other, but this matter can only be tacit and cannot be publicized, otherwise the official authority will be lost in the future, and the people will not be convinced. If personal morality is not good, it will affect major events.

Sun Ping gritted his teeth when he hated her, but he had nothing to do with her.

Before leaving, Sun Pingmei said in a strange way, "I would like to advise my lord, this method is fine against civil servants who want face, but not against generals. Your husband's fists are not enough for generals, so be careful of being beaten."

Shi Qing raised his eyebrows, "You can just pay back the money, do other things have anything to do with you? Do I need you to worry about me and my husband?"

She spread her fan and sneered, "Returning civil servants to save face? You really put gold on your face. In the entire court, you are the most shameless."

"Touch your skin, is it thicker than the shell on Li Yunqing's back?"

"I said she didn't say anything about you, are you unbalanced? You have to put ugly words on your face before you know it will stop."

Sun Pingmei's face turned livid, he flicked his sleeves, climbed into the carriage and left.

Yun Zhi had been looking at Shi Qing just now, and when he left, Shi Qing turned to look at him, "What's wrong?"

She said, "Don't worry, military officer, I have other ideas."

Who is Yunzhi afraid of? What he wanted to ask was, "Did you really see someone's belly and bellyband last night?"

Yun Zhi's eyes flickered, and he touched his nose, embarrassed to see clearly.

Shi Qing smiled, "You lied to her, you covered my eyes before they took off, and I couldn't see anything. If you don't blow her up, how would she know what I said is true?"

Yunzhi let out an "oh", and looked away with red ears.

"Why are you asking me this?" Shi Qing poked his lower back with a fan, "Are you jealous?"

Yun Zhi glared at her.

Shi Qing smiled and walked behind him.

The Li family settled it, and Shi Qing sent someone to change it.

Mihe carried the gong and walked forward, the sound was getting closer and closer to Anle Palace.

I'm coming!

The servant waited at the door, and immediately ran in when he heard the movement, "Master, the debt collector is coming soon."

When Xiao Tingyue heard the sound, she couldn't help but stop playing with walnuts, and waited for Shi Qing to come to show her some color.

The master and servant waited with bated breath, but—

Shi Qing's team just passed by her door.

"..."
