Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 546
The room was in a mess, with pieces of porcelain all over the floor, a table that had been kicked over, and a few strands of messy curtain silk cloth.The two maids were kneeling deep in the rubbish all over the floor, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, their profiles were bloodless, and their shoulders were trembling.

"Pull these two lowly maidservants down for me and whip them twenty times! Lock them into the deep cabinet, and don't let me see them again!"

Wang Xingzhiji was sitting on the mat with one leg stretched out, and another maid was tremblingly rubbing and kicking her twisted ankle when turning the case.His face was ashen, his temples were slightly messy, his shirt was half uncovered, revealing his slightly pale chest, which was heaving violently, showing the depth of resentment.

When the two maids heard such a severe punishment, their bodies trembled even more violently, but they didn't even dare to utter the words of begging for mercy, but there was a faint almost desperate sob in their throats.Soon, several strong servants rushed into the room and roughly dragged the two weak maids out.

There were still several servants and maids standing in the room, none of them dared to breathe, but there was the sound of sobbing from the other side of the room.A woman faced the window and wept. She was the hostess of this room, Wang Xingzhi's wife Song Shi.

The couple, one sitting alone in the seat full of anger, and the other sitting behind the back weeping, did not communicate with each other, which made the atmosphere in the room extremely dull.

After a long time, the Song family turned around slowly. Although her appearance was not very beautiful, she had a kind of gentle temperament. She silently got up and went to worship Wang Xingzhi, choked up and said: "The woman is born in a humble household. There are not many people around to listen to it. A small fault caused a big complaint, and I dare not argue deeply, but I beg the two corpses to be buried and returned to the earth, and the whole scene is a master-servant relationship."

"You have resentment in your heart, you might as well say it bluntly, why bother to ridicule me with those two lowly maidservants?"

When Wang Xingzhi heard the woman whispering, his expression became even more annoyed: "I only punished two of your servants, and you are full of resentment. Your family made my uncle Qingsheng, how will this old gap be repaid!"

When Mrs. Song heard this, her demeanor became even more mournful, and the tears she had held back shed silently again, sobbing: "The foolish woman in the room, it's rare for her husband to be happy, so she dared to ask for it to be released, and she dared not keep it to be annoying. "

After hearing this, Wang Xingzhi raised his eyebrows suddenly, kicked the maid beside him, stood up abruptly, pointed at the lady condescendingly, and said in a stern voice: "You woman, asking for help at this time is because I think it's embarrassing for me. It’s not clean enough! Am I blaming you? Your brother, I was kind enough to support him, but he insulted my uncle on the boat and made my family quarrel! I, I..."

At this point, Wang Xingzhi was so angry that he didn't know what to say.He just felt that the whole world was against him. Many days had passed since that night of humiliation, and he was still too shy to look back on it.I haven't seen my cousin Wang Yishao for many days, and it is even more difficult to see the even more disgusting son-in-law of the Shen family. Only by venting my anger on the woman in the room can I slightly relieve the resentment in my heart.

But this lady was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she forced him to speak out, which made him angry, but also a little bit worried.After pondering for a long while, he said: "I was the one who said it temporarily, foreign affairs have nothing to do with you. Don't think about that kind of stupid talk again, don't say it again!"

After finishing speaking, he limped out of the room, and directly got on the walking chariot that his family had already carried.

Wandering in the manor, Wang Xingzhi didn't know where to go.Usually at this time, he has already started to prepare for the night tour, but the lights of the Shenyuan Zhaixing Tower the night before, and his cousin Wang Xizhi's words that night, made Wang Xingzhi ashamed to do that kind of behavior that was obviously inferior to others .

What's more, on the second day after that night, the subordinates of the Danyang County Mansion came to the mansion to inform that the governor was displeased that his family occupied the river for a long time and disturbed the people, and warned him not to gather people for night tours!
This matter inevitably made Wang Xingzhi even more ashamed and annoyed, even if he was at fault for occupying the river, wouldn't Shen's noisy lights at night disturb people's dreams?There was no warning in the past, but at this time, it is clear that the county government is using the arrogance of the Shen family raccoon to suppress him!

But even if there is no warning from the county government, the night tour will not be organized.Wang Xingzhi stayed in the villa on the east side of Qingxi for the past few days, and even few people came to visit, which shows that the hearts of his friends are lax.

Before his father left the capital, Wang Xingzhi thought it was just a simple matter when he got his advice.His family's status is so high here, it would be difficult to overwhelm that raccoon in one fell swoop.Things went smoothly at first, but unexpectedly, he was suddenly hit by a blow, which made him run out of money for many days.

In the past few days, Wang Xingzhi is not only sullen, but also thinking about how that raccoon can win.The answer is actually very simple. That bullshit Zhaixing Tower towering on the banks of the Qinhuai River is extraordinarily ostentatious, and many people are willing to climb up to see the distant view.

It's not that Wang Xingzhi didn't want to use this to compete for supremacy, but after looking for someone to inquire about the labor waste of the Zhaixing Building, his heart was mostly cold.It's not that his family can't afford the money, the key is that he can't use so much money.What's more, the construction work in the capital is now under the control of Nanraccoon. Even if he has enough money, he may not be able to build a building.

This idea can only be given up, the raccoon is rich, and he is not as good as it.Originally, Wang Xingzhi thought that based on the popularity of his family, how could he be inferior to Shen's Bronze Smelly A Du?But this setback made him understand that he should not place high hopes on the people of the time.Many people tend to follow the flashy and superficial things, and it is difficult for the common eye to distinguish the virtuous and the foolish!

Those mediocre people, including his cousin Wang Xizhi, didn't care at first, but they could listen and listen quietly.But not to mention that Wang Xingzhi himself was taught by his father, if he couldn't fight back against the blow just the day before yesterday, it would be tantamount to admitting that he is inferior to a raccoon?If the Zhaixing Building behaves like this again in the future, he will inevitably become a laughing stock in the capital for a long time!
His father taught him to overwhelm the raccoons, but instead of doing it, he rallied even more. This is something Wang Xingzhi can't stand!

After a while, he asked his family to send him to the study, called the manager of the village, and asked directly: "How much money is available in the village right now?"

After hearing the words, the steward calculated carefully, and then replied: "If the master wants to use it immediately, he can spend more than [-] yuan at the moment. If he can wait a few days to sell some goods, he can use more than [-] yuan."

Hearing this, Wang Xingzhi frowned, knocked down the cup on the table with his hands, pointed at the steward and scolded angrily: "This village has more than a hundred hectares of land, and there are hundreds of people, not counting the income from the Hangdai water mill, why are you only accumulating these properties? Are you, an evil slave, deceiving me to be lazy and corrupt in private!"

Hearing the reprimand, the steward hurriedly avoided the seat and knelt down, and said with a bitter face: "How dare you, my slave! Earlier, the majesty sent a large number of subordinates to use property, and each village transferred them. There is not much left. Now tens of thousands of money It is still the proceeds from the sale of fruit and mulberry, the autumn harvest has not passed, and the annual production has not returned..."

Wang Xingzhi felt relieved after hearing this, and then asked: "If the income is returned to the warehouse at the age of one, how much can you collect?"

"After deducting human food consumption, the new grain can get more than [-] dendrobiums. This is the usual harvest in old years, but last year was involved in the military disaster, and this year there are too many workers in the fields. Three thousand dendrobiums is a big number. But these new crops Grain is difficult to exchange for money for a while, rice is cheap in a good year, and there is still Wu Liang coming from the north..."

"I don't want to hear these things. I just ask you, after the autumn harvest, can you send me 30 yuan?"

Wang Xingzhi was extremely disinterested in the steward's nonsense, and couldn't understand it, so he asked directly.If he wanted to deal a heavy blow to the Shen family and defeat it in the field that his family relied on, he naturally had to prepare a lot of wealth.There are many rumors in the city that the little raccoon will spend 30 to [-] yuan for a big banquet, which can be said to be a waste of money.

The amount of 30 yuan has been the limit that Wang Xingzhi has calculated for a long time, and he thinks he can bear it.Just thinking about it, I still feel distressed. Even in the most stable and affluent years in the capital, this amount of money is enough to buy a small villa.That little raccoon often makes big banquets, and it's hard to measure how much it consumes. Could it be that there are inexhaustible Tongshan gold mines in Wuzhong Township!
When the steward heard this figure, his expression was bitter. Not only was this amount impossible to achieve, even with a discount, the whole manor would suffer greatly, and it would be unsustainable in the coming year.It should be known that manor management is not a sudden profit, but a long-term long-term profit passed down from generation to generation.

The steward babbled about many difficulties, but Wang Xingzhi only heard one result in the end, that is, he couldn't raise money!In addition to being resentful, he had someone physically punish the steward, and sat alone in the room thinking hard about countermeasures.

Wang's natural family has a great business, not to mention the vicinity of the capital, there are thousands of hectares of property in Langya County alone, not to mention that there are also a large number of disciples who donate during the New Year.But Wang Xingzhi, as an ordinary child in the clan, has no right to intervene in the clan's property. The only private property under his name is this manor, which was assigned to him by the clan to start a family when he got married.

With the income from the manor, plus the gift money distributed in the middle of the month and the rewards from the elders, Wang Xingzhi lived a fairly leisurely life in the past.But when he decided to compete with the wealthy family of the Shen family, he realized how poor he was!
If you don't have enough money, there is no other way.Wang Xingzhi knew that his wife's dowry property was several times richer than his own. Although the Song family did not come from the south, his father-in-law, Song Zhe, was the most popular between Yong and Liang. .

But the problem is that nowadays women's property is independent and not under the control of their husband's family. What's more, Wang Xingzhi just got angry with the Song family and turned around to borrow money, which is really embarrassing.

I had to report the humiliation the day before yesterday, but I had no money in my hands, and I really didn't have much confidence.If someone finds someone to borrow, among my brothers, the eldest brother Wang Pengzhi went south with his father, and the second brother Wang Biaozhi was paralyzed at home again, and it was difficult to speak.Wang Xizhi, Wang Huzhi, etc., who were relatively recent, either had a lot of quarrels, or had little contact.As for others, the relationship is even more estranged, how dare they ask to borrow so much money.

After thinking hard for a long time, Wang Xingzhi thought of one person to choose, that is Lei Shi, the concubine of the Taibao and Wang Jingyu's biological mother.The Lei family is responsible for managing the family property of the Wang family in the capital, and he is also well-managed, making a lot of money in private, not to mention that his mother's family, Hu'er, has a big business in the village.If she is willing to help herself, hundreds of thousands of dollars is not a big problem for her.

Thinking of this, Wang Xingzhi couldn't sit still, and asked people to prepare their cars and drive back to the capital.
