Chapter 142

Zhu Changyuan was only responsible for posing the questions, and ran away after posing the questions. As for what happened later, he didn't know, and he didn't care.

All the way back to the yamen of the Ministry of Industry, it was still dark, and seeing Ma Qing sitting motionless behind the table, I thought he was dead, so I went up and yelled, so scared that the guy almost fell off the chair.

Ma Qing rubbed her eyes and stood up. It turned out that she had fallen asleep on the chair. Seeing that Zhu Changyuan was furious, she said, "What are you doing? Scary to death, aren't you?"

Zhu Changyuan said: "Master Ma is in such a good mood, and you can still sleep well during the official business, which means that your things are almost neatly packed."

Ma Qing's face was livid, and said: "Not yet, just wait slowly."

Zhu Changyuan gritted his teeth, and really wanted to go up and beat up this old boy right now, you're not happy enough to target me once or twice, that's what it means to trip me up and down?

But think about it or forget it, you can't fight, once you beat someone, the Ministry of Industry will have no place to stand in the future.

Put away his things, ignore Ma Qing, go out to find a young man to get his horse, ride away.

Back home, the wives have prepared meals and waited.Hey, no, it was the wives who had already ordered food at the inn and waited. When they saw Zhu Changyuan coming, they hurriedly fetched water to wash his face, pinching his shoulders and his back.

Zhu Changyuan was surprised, and said: "Wait a minute, two eldest princesses, I can't bear your attitude. Tell me what you have to say."

Lana said with a smile: "The shopkeeper took a fancy to a house in the capital, and said it is quite suitable for us to live in. If my husband is free tomorrow, can you accompany us to take a look."

Zhu Changyuan was stunned, and said: "He will decide if he likes it, and he won't be so flattering to me. Tell me, what's going on?"

Yumin was a little twitchy, and said, "It's just a little expensive."

"How much?" Zhu Changyuan asked while eating.

"500 taels."

Before Yumin could finish speaking, Zhu Changyuan said, "Buy, there's nothing to hesitate about, we're not short of money!"

Just after finishing speaking, I heard Dao Yumin say again: "Gold!"

"Pfft!" Zhu Changyuan squirted out a mouthful of rice, Yumin was startled, and hurried forward to pat him on the back, carefully kneaded him a few times, and asked, "What's wrong, my husband?"

Lana said: "What else can I do, I'm scared by the price you said."

Zhu Changyuan was really shocked. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, one tael of gold was equivalent to about eight taels of silver, and 500 taels of gold equaled 4000 taels of silver. At such a frightening price, one could buy four luxurious houses.

"What garden is so valuable, how big must it be?" Zhu Changyuan asked calmly, at least not short of breath in front of his wife.

"It's a big mansion in the west of the city. I heard that it was a gift prepared by a certain official for King Xin, but it was not sent out for various reasons, and it has been put on hold until now..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Zhu Changyuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, and said, "Stop talking, Gou Ri's shopkeeper, dare to bully me like this, do you know who the King of Xin he is talking about is?"

Yumin and Lana were taken aback for a moment, then shook their heads at the same time.

Zhu Changyuan said: "Before the current emperor proclaimed himself emperor, he was the king of faith. If you let me live there, do you think I will die?"

What Zhu Changyuan said was extremely wronged.

Yu Min said: "So that's how it is." She was a little reluctant, but there was nothing she could do.

Lana's temper was very hot, and she was about to go down to find the shopkeeper to settle the accounts. Zhu Changyuan said: "Forget it, forget it, maybe he didn't mean it, let him continue to look for it. Tonight, you can see who will accompany me."

The second daughter involuntarily slipped away.

"Don't go." Zhu Changyuan pulled the two of them back: "I haven't eaten yet!"

In the early morning of the next day, before going to work, I suddenly thought that Ma Qing hadn't finished packing her things yesterday, and she was deliberately dawdling to make herself look bad, feeling upset, and a prank-like idea came to her mind.

The shopkeeper bought a large solid wood table from the inn, hired a carriage to put the table in, and drove the carriage straight to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

When we got to the gate of the yamen, it was still very early, and even the secretary of the secretary office hadn't come to work yet, the only few people were the servants on duty.

Zhu Changyuan rushed the carriage to the yard, and two servants came over to salute Zhu Changyuan and said, "I'll help my lord put the carriage away!"

Zhu Changyuan waved his hand, "Don't worry, hurry to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, I have something to get out of my car." He took three or four servants all the way to the gate of the Department of Civil Affairs.

Opening the door, he pointed to Ma Qing's large office desk in the middle to the two young men, and said, "Bring me out that desk, and put it in the yard by the entrance."

The boys are only responsible for the work, and the leader does whatever they want, regardless of whose desk you are.After the two took orders, it took a lot of effort to lift a large solid wooden table for office work out of the yamen and put it in the yard.

"Okay." Zhu Changyuan shouted loudly, and moved the table he had brought from the carriage by himself, without stopping, and put the table where Ma Qing had been before.

Hey, you didn't tidy up your things, I won't move your things, you can tidy up slowly, I have a place to sit now.

He sat down with joy in his heart, and two servants came forward to clean up the table for him, and said flatteringly: "Master, you are really strong, this table is probably not light."

Zhu Changyuan smiled and said, "Try it, both of you!"

The two servants lifted it up at the same time, feeling that it was much heavier than the Ma Qing's table that was lifted away before.

"Master, you are really martial arts." The servant is also quite good at flattering.

Zhu Changyuan laughed loudly, and said: "Shenwu, it's really unpleasant to stay in this capital. Master, when I was a soldier, I beat ten of them one by one."

"Really, sir, you were a soldier."

"Of course it's true. I beat Huang Taiji too. Let me tell you, I beat Huang Taiji so badly that his nose was bleeding all the time. Every day he had to catch it with a broken bowl. Most of the bowl would flow out in the morning." Zhu Changyuan You don't need money to brag, you want to brag and brag.

After working for a while, while talking, the sun has risen, and people have arrived at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry one after another.

Zhu Changyuan was no longer bragging with the two young men, and asked them to pull the carriage out to watch. Each rewarded some broken silver, and happily returned to his new desk.

Domineering and powerful!

Hey, although there is no decent office equipment on the desk, for Zhu Changyuan, the first step of the Long March is going out.In any case, he had his own foothold in the Ministry of Industry.

"Hey! Whose desk is this? Why did it run into the yard? Could it be that our Cleaning Department has been robbed?"

"Why are the thieves so bold that they dare to steal into the yamen?"

Zhu Changyuan was sitting in a chair with his eyes closed, when suddenly two familiar voices came from outside the door.

 I have been working overtime since today, and I will serve you at the third watch. Good night, readers.
