Chapter 592: Getting to Know the Minister Su Kangsheng (2)

The old Chengtou naturally saw Wu Bo, the prefect, and when he sent the steamed bun to Su Kangsheng, he naturally hid the visit of Wu Bo. He only said that it was an old friend from the master who had been visiting. As for whose name, when Mr. Su saw the steamed bun and a pack of pork head meat that made him swallow, he still had to ask who was the visitor? Or he had already had a clear heart in his heart and showed his true feelings when he was in trouble. At this time, only a few close friends who could remember him were left. He took it for granted that this good thing was the head of several romantic and famous officials who had been in close contact with him. However, in fact, since Su Kangsheng was in such a state, there was no news between those people and him. Old Chengtou walked all over the mansions of these people when the master was at his most down. Those people either returned to their hometowns on the excuse.

, either refuse to go out for business, or be sick, not to meet each other. Anyway, the old Chengtou and the people who claim to be the master's best friend have never met. The only one is more reliable, and he is afraid of his wife. He threw a small bag of rice from inside the wall to outside the wall without telling it. Old Chengtou dared not let down the master's heart. The details of the visit were "only three words to everyone, but not all of them were left." Old Chengtou praised the husband who gave the rice even more. Su Kangsheng's first reaction naturally met the visitor who helped the timely help with his friend who had given rice. He didn't expect that there was someone else, and he was the person he least wanted to see. Old Chengtou looked at the master on the bed and burped with satisfaction, and his pale face began to turn rosy, and he found a reason to slip out.

The neighbors curiously looked through the window and looked at the two guests who suddenly visited the Su family, and they didn't dare to come out of the room. When the mud kids heard that not only had food, but also had new clothes, they immediately lined up with the beautiful man and walked out. Old Chengtou was about to rush out, but Wu Yonglin on his back raised his hand to stop him.

"Wu...Master Wu, the villains are ashamed of such a great gift."

Old Chengtou did not want to disclose the identity of Wu Yonglin as a prefect in public at this time. After all, the surroundings were full of jealousy and resentment, and cold eyes were staring at. Wu Bo's reputation was even more stinky in the hearts of the people than the salted fish. When the neighbors spread this matter, the saliva of the whole street could kill them. In the future, they could not be human in this area. The master had a good reputation, so he quit the governor's job, which was actually a good deal, so naturally there was no need to make this matter public.

"Take me to see your master, I have something important to discuss with him."

"That stubborn temper of the master..."

Old Cheng was about to tell a few words when Su Kangsheng heard a sharp shout from the inner room interrupted the conversation: "Old Cheng, bring the guests in quickly, I want to thank you in person."

Unexpectedly, when he heard the call from the master, Old Cheng was so nervous that he didn't know what to do. He kept beating his heart and the needle pattern on his eyebrows was clearly visible. At this time, it was too late to keep him away. He realized that he should not take everything on himself. When he was so angry that he could not keep his clothes, he had no other way except to bite the bullet and be scolded by the master. However, this time the master probably wouldn't care about him. The master's temper was clear. He couldn't rub sand in his eyes. One sentence was very uncomfortable and he wouldn't consider anyone's feelings at all. The moment was slightly different from before. The master and servant were clear between the two before. The old Chengtou family had to rely on the Su family to live, but now the old Chengtou family worked and supplemented the Su family. Old Chengtou's family returned to his parents' home in anger, except for Yuechu and Yuezhong.

He would bring them some food, and almost every time he left, he would have a quarrel with Lao Cheng. Lao Cheng was tough and sometimes he would quarrel with the master sometimes, but the master was now so depressed and weak, and could not bear any stimulation. If he couldn't help but conflict with the master in front of Wu Bo, then the friendship between their master and servant in this life would probably come to an end. The Master Wu could abandon his identity and be respectful to the wise and visit him in person, so Lao Cheng could naturally guess the other party's purpose. The master, himself and the children who circled around him every day to eat, needed this "grace of knowing and getting to know each other". When Lao Cheng thought about this, he felt less nervous. For these two families that had long been separated from each other, he made up his mind to stand with Wu Yonglin and advised the master to feed his mouth first and not to suffer for face.

When Wu Yonglin walked in, he first saw a slender goat face with a smile. The white beard on his jaw was greasy. A wide robe with whiteness and patches was extremely disproportionately covered with thin body. The room was filled with an unpleasant smell. The ground of the house was filled with muddy water. Several black holes as thick as a thumb were clearly visible above his head.

The water ticked. When Su Kangsheng saw Wu Yonglin, he was stunned at first. The face of the sun was shining brightly. The air around him also turned cold with his suddenly pulled face. He closed his eyebrows and eyes and turned around with a rude scolding: "Old Cheng, please see us off. Mr. Wu continues to stay here, for fear of being dirty, we will not be able to afford it."

"Master, Mr. Wu comes all the way. What you just swallowed into your stomach was sent by Mr. Wu kindly. You can hear Mr. Wu's nagging."

"Rareless, where can you speak here? You don't have a choice between them. How can you spit out the things you just ate? When you have money another day, we will give it back to him."

Old Cheng thought to himself: When is it now? He still pretended to be ignorant of others. He was about to get angry, but Wu Yonglin patted his shoulder and stopped him. Wu Yonglin pulled out a pile of wrinkled paper from his close robe in front of the two. When Lao Cheng saw the paper, he was panicked. Those were the ones he had pawned some valuable things in his house to others without hiding. The prefect was indeed today.

He went to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. It turned out that he was first polite and then soldiers came to collect debts. When Su Kangsheng saw the bill with a bright red handprint, his face turned green. He pointed at Lao Chengtou and cursed him with a scammer. Old Chengtou lowered his head, like an angry young wife. He wanted to defend himself several times. Looking at the master who was almost angry, Old Chengtou gritted his teeth and held back. He always had to leave some face for the master in front of outsiders.

"Are you going to pay back the money today or move out from here?" Old Cheng was about to talk, but Wu Yonglin secretly gave a look and quickly swallowed the words to his mouth back into his stomach. Only then did he realize that Mr. Wu was deliberately trying to provoke him.

"How much money do I owe you in total?"

"Before I came, I found a "Zhuangzhaiyaren" (real estate agent) and used your house as collateral. The remaining few small money is just enough to make you feel wronged. You all went to the "Shop and Housekeeping" to find a small house to squeeze in. But that feeling may not be very pleasant. I heard that people died every now and then, and it turned into a dark village."

(Equivalent to an official real estate company, specializing in the rental of official land and public housing. The rent of "Shopping and Housekeeping" can be said to be relatively low. In the first year of Tianxi, a public rental house under the jurisdiction of "Shopping and Housekeeping" in Kaifeng Prefecture had a monthly rent of about 500 yuan; in the third year of Tiansheng, when prices rose slightly, the rent was reduced to 430 yuan per month. At that time, a city lower-level person who set up a street stall to do small business or worked as a servant for public and private enterprises had a monthly income of about 3,000 yuan, and a monthly rent of four or five hundred yuan was still affordable.)

"Slowly, you just move when you say you want to move? After all, you just want to hit me with the idea of ​​how much money you owe you. Let me tell me a specific number. I will ask Lao Cheng to get it back now, it will be more or less." Su Kang took care of the wrinkled robe on his body, looking calm and arrogant. Old Chengtou beside him knew it was over. The master was "a bachelor who was acting so rudely--to be completely willing to give up his face." Today, he could not guarantee his kindness to help the master save face.

Wu Yonglin smiled at him, and stretched out his right hand with five fingers spread out. Su Kangsheng was immediately frightened when he saw it. His body fell on the edge of the bed, and his trembling hands held a shaky bamboo pole used to support the cloth tent. This almost astronomical number completely threw him from the world to the ghost world. 500 taels were almost equivalent to his previous income of not eating or drinking when he was a governor by Wu Bo.

"Master..." Old Chengtou wanted to speak but stopped, and at this moment he did not dare to look at Su Kangsheng at all.

"Why are you still standing there? Go and go back quickly." Su Kangsheng was weak when he said this. Even he himself didn't believe that those so-called friends could lend him such a large sum of money. He was not confused. He had discovered something wrong with Old Cheng's evasive words before. He was "a blind man eating dumplings--it's a clear idea." However, it was difficult to get rid of the tiger at this time. It was really not possible. He could only give up his old face and go directly to ask for it from door to door.

"Old Cheng, pour me a bowl of boiling water. How are you treating guests?"

It was also scared, and the net that was spread out should be taken back. Old Cheng knew that the second half of the prefect Wu said was probably very exciting. He wandered in place and wanted to hear what the next ending would be, but he really couldn't bear to watch the master continue to be so distraught, so he quickly retreated.

"All the adults came to my house in person. Don't you see my intention to do this?"

Su Kangsheng had just come back to his senses from Wu Yonglin's words. Wu Yonglin didn't know when he took out two flints from his arms. After several "bang bang" sounds, the "debt" that Su Kangsheng had originally been swallowed up by the beating flames in an instant. Su Kangsheng had no idea what he felt in his heart at this moment, nor did he know what medicine Wu Yonglin sold in this gourd. Compared to the depression and depression just now, Su Kangsheng felt relieved, but was only the other party's

He was shocked and frightened, and a cold sweat broke out all over his body. His sick body felt much better, but his whole body was extremely itchy. He realized that he hadn't taken a shower for almost a month, and his whole body was almost rotten. At this moment, his desire for soup pot even exceeded that of the beautiful woman in Hua Xinhua. He couldn't help but lean his back against the bamboo pole next to him, rubbing up and down, left and right, and the loose bed

It made a squeaking sound, which easily made people hiding outside think a lot. Su Kangsheng had a very enjoyable expression on his face, but Wu Yonglin couldn't sit still at this moment. He knew that Su Kangsheng was very proud and he took the initiative to leave the government office. How could he have the nerve to speak back to his original position? Even if he went back, he would be secretly slandered by his former colleagues. I don't know how ugly things would be heard at that time. As for Master Wu Yonglin

The meaning of this is different when he begged him to go back. It proves that Su Kangsheng is a talented person. The magistrate wants to invite him back again. This shows that the magistrate Wu Bo has seen it before and was "carried away by Wu Yonglin". When he returned, Su Kangsheng can stand up and get a lot of blue eyes and lights from his colleagues and even the magistrate. He will have a lot of life in the future. Seeing Wu Yonglin's painful look, Su Kangsheng shook more and more proudly.

Wu Yonglin was really furious by the sound. Two big men were shaking the bed. What would anyone who didn't know think after hearing this? Wu Yonglin felt that the time between the two was almost the same, and it was time to 'open the skylight and speak out': "Governor, please continue to come back. The debts just now were written off, just as the salary paid as usual these days. You have worked hard for the yamen office for these years. During these days, I will be the leave for you by the yamen office, but this is only once, so I will not be the case."

Su Kangsheng only listened to the first half, but did not hear the most critical 'salary' issue. He deliberately pretended to be indifferent and said to Wu Yonglin: "You have burned all these bans now. I can never admit the debt relationship between us. Please don't invite you, and whether to go or not."

"People are doing it, God is watching. Mr. Dongpo's descendants are willing to put this face down. I have nothing to say. Just pretend I have not been here today." Wu Yonglin pretended to be angry and prepared to leave. Su Kangsheng was really anxious at this moment. How could this cooked duck let him slip away from his hands? He whined indirectly and complained in front of Wu Yonglin again: "Now the foreign debt is gone, but after the two families are combined, I have to take care of the children of both sides. When I opened my eyes, I looked at the children around me. I was so angry."

"I have just mentioned your salary, aren't you satisfied?" Wu Yonglin glanced at Su Kangsheng with a deep meaning.

Only then did Su Kangsheng remember that Wu Yonglin stretched out his hand had a deeper meaning. He tried to ask: "A monthly salary of five taels?"

"Think about it again."

Su Kangsheng remembered that Wu Yonglin flipped back and forth when he was spreading his hands. He couldn't help but exclaim: "Twenty taels?"

“Are more or less?”

"Enough is enough." Su Kangsheng was almost happy. With his previous meager 2 taels per month, the master had doubled ten times as soon as he made a move. With his different personality, is this an extra reward?

"Dad, look, is this new dress good looking?" Looking at his son who was almost unable to recognize his appearance, Su Kangsheng unconsciously moved his body to the side. His son was like a piece of clean lotus root that had just emerged from the water. He was not even as good as the defeated lotus leaves that were foiled by him. He was even more afraid that the fleas and lice on his body would be transmitted to his son.

"There are twenty taels of silver here. You can make yourself a few better outfits tomorrow. Don't lose your face and my face. You will officially come to the government office the day after tomorrow. I will give you some good news in a while and ensure that you will be happy every day in the future."
