Chapter 17 Wei Zhongxian, give me the money! Don't think that you don't need to pay money to send a beautiful maid!

"This Uncle Zhang Guo is really a disaster. He has nothing to say about industrial products and handicrafts. Because of this, His Majesty ordered our family to be his money bag in the future. If our family doesn't give it, we can't stay in the Supervisor of Ceremonies What's the difference between this and our family marrying a wife and letting Zhang Gui enter the bridal chamber?!"

  Because of Tianqi's decision, Wei Zhongxian felt more and more at a loss when he thought about it. After returning home, he couldn't help complaining to Keshi.

  Ke Shi laughed after hearing this: "It's like you can really enter the bridal chamber?"

   "It's just a metaphor."

   Wei Zhongxian replied.

  Ke Shi said again: "Then what can we do now, the emperor's orders cannot be violated, weren't you very smart in the past, you should have a way?"

  Wei Zhongxian sighed: "Is there any way, now I can only ask him to take it lightly."

At this time, Ke suggested: "The Huo Weihua who used to come to the mansion before sent two stunning maids. Why don't you send them to this uncle Guo first, so that he can be addicted to women, so that he won't be caught every day? I want to ask you for money."

  Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Madam said yes, then let them send it."

  …

  Zhang Gui didn't expect Tianqi to suddenly decide to ask Wei Zhongxian for money to make steel in the future.

  This also means that Wei Zhongxian will become his cash machine.

   Moreover, as far as he knows, this nine-thousand-year-old man is still good at making money in history.

In Zhang Gui's view, it is actually quite good for Wei Zhongxian to make money so that he can spend it on research unconditionally. There is a lot of trouble in making money for spending money.

"who are you?"

   However, what Zhang Gui didn't expect was that just after he came back from Xiyuan, he found that there were two more beautiful girls in his room, and they were so tender that they could squeeze out water.

   "Servant servant autumn tea."

   "Slaves and servants in autumn clothes."

  The two girls folded their hands on their waists and bowed back.

  Xiao Chan replied at this time: "My lord, they were sent by the old Xiaoge who came today."

   "What does this Xiaoge old man send women to do, use this to test my son?"

   Zhang Gui asked.

  Xiao Chan shook her head: "My maidservant doesn't know either."

   Then, Xiao Chan asked again: "My lord, the question now is how to sleep tonight, there are only two beds in the room."

   "How to sleep? Sleep together! By the way, check their bodies too."

   Zhang Gui was speechless as he spoke: "The life of the ancient dignitaries really deserves to be criticized!"

   "Xiao Chan! Master asked you to go."

  At this time, a nun came outside and gave some instructions. Seeing that Zhang Gui was also there, she hurriedly greeted Zhang Gui.

   Zhang Gui therefore asked: "What is the master looking for Xiaochan?"

  The nanny replied: "In the front hall, Eunuch Wei sent two maids, and said that they are young masters, so they should accept a cat and a dog for fun. It is useless to stay with him."

   Zhang Gui was speechless after hearing this: "Wei Zhongxian, that bastard, why did he also send the maid along with him? This is to ask me to be Ximenqing, and then I don't have the heart to ask him for money. This trick is vicious enough, but I'm not Zhu Changluo!"

   Zhang Gui still gave Xiaochan a wink while speaking: "Go and get it."

"yes!"

  Xiao Chan went out.

   Not long after, Xiao Chan brought two maidservants.

   Zhang Gui looked at it, nodded his head, and asked in a serious manner, "What's your name?"

   "Slave servant autumn grass."

   "Slave Qiu Run."

  When Zhang Gui heard this, he looked back at the two maids sent by Mr. Xiaoge, and said in his heart, "I'm afraid they were trained by the same mother. The names are very connotative."

In the late Ming Dynasty, there were special merchants who would raise a group of little girls and teach them piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. They also often give the beautiful maidservants they bought as gifts to others.

   Among them, Yangzhou Shouma is the most famous.

  What Zhang Gui just didn't expect now was that the cabinet minister Han Yu and the ceremonial supervisor Wei Zhongxian would also send him beautiful maids, and their names would all have the word "autumn".

  Zhang Gui called the four beautiful maidservants to stand in front of him, and asked, "How much money do you usually need to raise you for a month?"

  Although Zhang Gui admits that the four beauties are indeed pretty, he still wants to ask about the cost of maintenance.

  The four beauties looked at each other.

  Qiu Cha replied first: "It all depends on how much grace the young master gives you."

  Zhang Guidao: "Let's talk about the number."

  Qiu Chang replied at this time: "The servant girl is in Han's house, the monthly money is one tael, and there are two taels of rouge and gouache money every month, five taels of clothes for the four seasons, five taels of custom-made jewelry every year, and two taels of silver for the four treasures of the study."

"This month is fifteen taels, and four is sixty taels. If you add Xiao Chan, the same standard, it will be nine hundred taels a year. My annual salary is only more than a thousand. Shi Liang, the cost of raising these four beautiful maidservants is almost a year's salary!"

  Zhang Gui suddenly felt that the elder Xiaoge and Wei Zhongxian gave him four big losers.

   "If you follow the rules of the Han family, son, if we have your flesh and blood, we will have to match two maids. The maids will be halved according to the grace given to slaves, and the two together will be fifteen taels."

  Qiu Cha took the initiative to remind with a shy smile at this time.

   Zhang Gui clicked his tongue after hearing this, crying in his heart that he couldn't afford it.

  But suddenly Zhang Gui realized that he had an imperial ATM.

   "Xiaochan! Let them be arranged in the left and right rooms. Tonight, you should sleep outside my son."

   Zhang Gui said suddenly.

  Xiao Chan asked: "Aren't you going to sleep together?"

  Zhang Gui waved his hand: "I can't sleep for the time being, and I don't want to use the swim bladder, son! I'll talk about it tomorrow morning when I go to ask for money from your son!"

"oh!"

  Xiao Chan took the four beautiful maids to the wing room.

  …

   Early the next morning.

   Zhang Gui came to Xiyuan.

  As soon as he came to Xiyuan, Zhang Gui saw Wei Zhongxian and Han Yu walking towards Xiyuan Qinzheng Hall.

  Wei Zhongxian and Han Yu also saw Zhang Gui.

  The two couldn't help but looked at each other.

  Wei Zhongxian recently got acquainted with Han Yu because he was on duty in Xiyuan Yuqian together, so he took the initiative to say to Han Yu: "Uncle Guo was admitted to the imperial examination last night, and he is in the prime of life. It stands to reason that he should only get up at three poles a day. Why is it so early?"

  Han Yu said: "Uncle Guo is too short, I must not have experienced the joy of it, you can't just send beautiful maidservants, you should send some medicine to Uncle Guo."

  Wei Zhongxian nodded.

   Zhang Gui has already walked over at this time.

   Both of them greeted with a smile: "Uncle Guo!"

  Zhang Gui also returned the gift, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian: "Eunuch Wei, give me the money!"

   "What kind of money to give, please ask Uncle Guo to express it."

   Wei Zhongxian replied.

  Zhang Gui said: "Why are you pretending to be confused? Of course, about steelmaking, have you forgotten the emperor's order?"

  Wei Zhongxian smiled embarrassingly: "How dare our family forget, how much does Uncle Guo want?"

  Zhang Guidao: "Call 50,000 taels first."

  Wei Zhongxian complained after hearing this: "Uncle Guo, our family has not been in the Lijian for long, and we really don't have much money. To tell you the truth, the five thousand taels I gave you last time were borrowed from our family."

   "What are you talking about?"

  Apocalypse appeared in front of the three of them at this time.

   "Your Majesty!"

  The three hurriedly greeted each other.

   Then, Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, I came to ask Eunuch Wei for money because of steelmaking, but Eunuch Wei couldn't even get fifty thousand taels."

  Wei Zhongxian also hurriedly complained to Tianqi: "My lord, the slaves really can't afford so much, and now there are only more than 20,000 taels of silver in the inner court treasury."

   "Eunuch Wei, you can find two stunning women for me at once, why can't the inner court take out fifty thousand taels of silver?"

   Zhang Gui asked.

   "What's the matter with women?"

   Tianqi hurriedly asked.

  Wei Zhongxian reported: "Madam meant that Uncle Guo should also take some people in the house, so that he can have his own flesh and blood in the future."

   "Kebaba is thoughtful."

  Tianqi nodded, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian: "However, my brother-in-law is right, you can find two women for him so quickly, why can't you ask the inner court to hand over 50,000 taels of silver as soon as possible?"

   "The emperor calm down, the slaves will let the inner court get the money as soon as possible!"

  Wei Zhongxian couldn't help complaining in his heart: "But women are easy to find these days, but money is hard to find."
