The daily life of a science genius who travels through the book group

Chapter 456
Mr. Shuai himself doesn't mind living in that cramped courtyard. Speaking of which, his situation is much better now than before.

What annoys him is that too many people want to visit him, some of them just want to get close to him because of his position, some of them are fanatical mathematics lovers, they ask him if he is Lord Grim, but no matter No matter how Shuai Jicheng explained, those people seemed to believe that he was Lord Grim, and they wanted to worship him as a teacher and give him a gift of apprenticeship.

How could Shuai Ji Cheng dare to accept him? He had just taken office, and to put it bluntly, he was a country bumpkin who had never seen the world, and even 20 taels of silver felt hot in his hands.

His old wife in the country was so frightened that she couldn't sleep well. Although this old wife was a country woman who couldn't read a few characters, she had seen a play!

She knows that today's emperor hates corrupt officials the most, and has killed many corrupt officials. He is a good emperor.

In order to prevent her husband from being beheaded by the emperor, she was determined not to accept the gift.

In addition to those who give gifts openly, there are also those who give gifts secretly.

For example, not long ago, Guan Ya came excitedly to tell Mr. Shuai that he found a good house not far from the imperial city, which was the villa of a businessman in the south of the Yangtze River.Because the owner of the house admires Mr. Shuai very much, he is willing to pawn Mr. Shuai for ten years at a price of 1000 taels.

"Master Shuai, this is a good thing you can't find it with a lantern! You can't miss it!" The tooth man rubbed his hands and said happily.

After a short moment of heartbeat, Shuai Jicheng immediately turned his face down: "Isn't this a bribe? Let me tell you, don't even think about causing me to be beheaded by the emperor!"

"Hey, my lord, my lord! You are overthinking this! Isn't this why people admire your talent and learning, lord!" The tooth man grimaced, thinking that the owner of the house promised him a reward of 300 taels after the job was completed, He must make this deal a deal!

"Bah!" Handsome Ji Cheng spat at the man, "I have been in Qing County for so many years, and no one has come to admire my talent. Now that I am an official, there are so many people who admire me. How can I be a scholar in my 20s? A little trick can be tricked!"

"My lord! My lord, you used to be so deep in the alley that the smell of wine couldn't hold you back, no one knew... hey hey!"

Before the idiot could finish his sentence, Shuai Ji Cheng's wife beat him out with a broom.

"Do you think my old lady has never seen the world? If the owner of the house doesn't give you any favors, you can come to my door so bluntly, get out of here! Get out, our family has no money! Let alone 1000 taels, even 100 taels won't work. come out!"

Just like that, this toothy man was kicked out.

Shuai Jicheng saw that Yaren finally stopped pestering him, pulled the little horse, and sat in the yard, sighing.

It was on this day that Mr. Lu rested from his bath and thought of this old man when he had nothing to do, so he brought two roast ducks to visit him and catch up on the old days.

After all, the two had a relationship before.

But Master Lu came to the gate of Shuai Jicheng's small courtyard and was shocked to find that Shuai Jicheng's dignified third-rank official lived in such a dilapidated and small place, and immediately felt deeply ashamed of his negligence.

As for the official residence in the capital, it is not without it.

But they are all for officials below the fifth rank.

Basically, there are few high-ranking officials who are really poor.Even the few officials who came from really poor families basically have 20 years of experience as officials when they climbed to the third-rank position, and few of them are still poor and white.

Shuai Jicheng is really a special case. Arranging official residences for officials in Beijing and China is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The eunuch who was in charge of this matter did not know whether it was intentional or did not know how to arrange it, and it was indeed negligent.

Lord Lu wanted to tell the emperor directly, but was stopped by his son, Lu Wenyan's father.

This man is now editing books on hydraulic engineering at the Faculty of Science.

Now being an editor in the Academy of Sciences is an honorable job, and the status is comparable to entering the Imperial Academy.

No, to be precise, the emperor now attaches much more importance to the Academy of Science than to the Imperial Academy.

It can be said that apart from being a little older, this Lu family uncle has a bright future.

"Father, it's not right to tell the emperor directly about this! If you tell His Majesty about this, His Majesty will surely punish the eunuch who arranged this matter. Father, my son knows that you are upright, don't you have a saying that you would rather offend the official Yes, don't offend the eunuchs in the palace!" The Lu family uncle tried to persuade him.

"This...then what do you think?" Mr. Lu hesitated.

The uncle of the Lu family thought for a while and said, "Father, do you still like to drink tea with Song's family lately?"

"Why?" Mrs. Lu couldn't figure it out.

"You can find a way to disclose this matter to Song's family. Song's family has resigned, and those eunuchs have nowhere to go even if they want to revenge Song's family!" Uncle Lu's tone was firm.

"Isn't that... there are also printing houses and bookstores?" Boss Lu still felt that it was not kind to do things like this.

But the uncle of the Lu family comforted his father again: "It's okay! The messy business at the bookstore is tiring and useless. It doesn't matter to Song's family whether they do it or not."

"Okay..." Mr. Lu was persuaded by his son.

Ten days later, when it was time for Xiumu, Master Lu brought two roast ducks to find Master Song, and revealed to Song Jianming that Shuai Jicheng was still living in a dilapidated courtyard in the south of the city.

"This... the emperor didn't arrange an official residence?"

Song Jianming was shocked, and he didn't think about it. Recently, there were many affairs in the court, and the disaster relief alone was enough to upset the emperor. It is entirely possible that the emperor has forgotten about the housing problem of Mr. Shuai.

but……

"Since Mr. Lu knew about this, why didn't he tell the emperor directly?" Song Jianming's mind turned so fast, he only used his heels to think of the reason why Lu Zongli didn't tell the emperor directly.

Knowing that Boss Lu is a straightforward and thin-skinned person, he kicked the ball back to Lu Zongli with a question.

Unexpectedly, Lu Zongli replied straightly: "I... am afraid of offending the eunuchs in the palace! Brother Song, you have no official status and a light body, no matter how the eunuchs have the means to greet you, you will not be able to get on your head!"

Song Jianming: ...

He thought that in a few years he would return to the positions of Cifu and Hubu Shangshu.

Did he calculate the wrong person?

Where is he so thick-skinned?

There was no other way, Song Jianming nodded to the boss and said, "You owe me a favor for this matter!"

That night, Song Jianming informed Song Qingyue of the revision of the book. He didn't want to give the impression that the emperor liked to meddle in other people's affairs, or that he wanted to be kind to the new senior official.

But the daughter is not so hindered.

The daughter has the right to directly write a memorial to the emperor, and she was originally a pair of eyes set by the emperor outside the palace. Logically, it is her duty as the concubine of Jin to take care of such nosy matters.

Song Qingyue doesn't have as many twists and turns as her father. The thinking of a science student is to solve the problem as soon as possible.

Originally, she could easily help Master Shuai solve this problem with her own financial resources.

But she shouldn't be responsible for this matter in the first place. Besides, she, the wife of an eldest prince, went to give a senior official of the procuratorial department a house. This is not a bribe, but it is a bribe.

Inappropriate name.

This matter has to be settled by the emperor himself.

Besides, so many houses were raided and confiscated some time ago, wouldn't it be unreasonable to leave them empty?It's not a problem at all to reward someone who will live in Mr. Shuai's official residence for ten or twenty years.

As a result, this matter was twisted and turned, and it was not resolved until October, when the northwest wind began to blow in the capital.

As for the eunuch who arranged this matter, the emperor was indeed very annoyed with him, but he did not punish or scold him, but instead handed over the twenty or so mansions managed by the House of Internal Affairs to the eldest daughter-in-law Song Qingyue for management.

It doesn't matter whether it's rented out or sold out, it's up to Song Qingyue to deal with it.

This matter somehow reached the Queen's ears.

Xu is the deliberate revenge of the eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

In short, the queen was very unhappy about this matter, and she gritted her teeth with hatred!
The emperor would rather trust his daughter-in-law than her wife!

The Ning family helped him ascend the throne. This heartless man not only suppresses the Ning family, but also lets his daughter-in-law step on him!
