A scholar of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty

"How much money does our family have now?" Gu Qing asked.

Wu Mei flipped through the ledger, "Counting everything in these years, the total is 300 million."

"300 million guan." Gu Qing gasped, he never thought that Wu Mei had accumulated so much capital for himself unknowingly over the years.

"It's just that Donghai consumes too much." Wu Mei put away Gu Qing's coat and said, "If our family has a monthly surplus of tens of thousands of guan, and there are many businessmen in each family, the Cheng family can send 1 yuan a month. There are more than [-] guan, the Niu family also has [-] guan a month, and the bookstore also has about [-] guan, and the factory has a steady income of [-] guan per month."

"It's still the head of the factory." Gu Qing thought about it, "Is there any news from the factory in Jiannan Road?"

"The work was stopped half a month ago, and it will resume after the winter." Wu Mei said, "It will have to wait until next summer to complete it. I haven't seen the money back so soon."

"Girl, you are really good at managing the house."

Sensing Gu Qing's gaze, Wu Mei lowered her head, "It's all what I should do. My husband is working hard outside, so naturally I have to take care of the family affairs by myself."

"Do you mind if I take another one in?" Gu Qing asked tentatively.

"Huh? Where did my concubine's scissors go?" Wu Mei looked around.

Sure enough... Gu Qing gave a bitter smile, and walked out of the account room. Cheng Chumo and Li Tai had already gone back, and came to the laboratory alone to study the structure of the ship again. Be sure to do well in terms of weight.

Chapter 566 Di Renjie and Tang Jian

Di Renjie returned to his home and helped Li Wan cook together. There were a few servants in the house who were given by the teacher, but Li Wan still wanted to do it herself.

"Let me do it." Di Renjie took the pottery bowl and beat the eggs skillfully, and then took another look at the heat.

"Do you often cook?" Li Wan asked.

"I learned from the teacher." Di Renjie put the beaten eggs into the pot and stir-fried them. "The teacher's craftsmanship has always been good, but the teacher's mouth is also quite picky. The servants at home can't do it well, so they cook the meals by themselves. , I often take the lead, and I learned it without knowing it."

"The man cooks." Li Wan smiled softly, "Aren't you afraid of being judged by others?"

"Don't be afraid!" Di Renjie skillfully scrambled eggs and added some dried vegetables, "Actually, I also thought it was shameful for a man to cook at first, but after getting along with the teacher for a long time, I think it's nothing. Others say that a man is the status of a family." The highest, that is, men are superior to women, in the eyes of the teacher, there is no such thing, he is very good to the teacher's wife! Many times... It's like equality, and it never feels like a kind of attachment."

"You must be having a good day." Li Wan watched with her chin propped up.

"Probably." Di Renjie put the fried scrambled eggs into the bowl, and put the washed vegetables into the bowl again while the oil was still dry. "Fortunately, there is a big shed for the teacher, otherwise there would be no vegetables to eat this season."

Di Renjie is proficient in cooking, "You see, the teacher's family is rich."

Li Wan nodded.

"But he is already so rich, he saves money when he can." Di Renjie said, "Sometimes I can't understand it, and I always feel that the teacher is contradictory. He is very rich when he shouldn't be rich, such as They insisted on building two bathing pools, one for washing feet and the other for washing face."

Li Wan suppressed a smile.

"But the teacher has never done this before." Di Renjie said, "It's like an obsession, not because I want to do it, but because I want to do it, I don't know why, and I bought a lot The useless land is put there without cultivation, if it is not because of being a county government with a certain amount of food, the teacher would like to buy the entire village with a radius of more than ten miles."

A pot of scrambled eggs, a pot of fried vegetables, and some bacon, the dishes for the couple are very simple.

In the morning of the second day, Di Renjie got up early to go to Dali Temple on business. It had been snowing heavily for three days, but there was still no sign of stopping. It was still daylight, and some villagers got up early to shovel the snow to clear the road.

"Master?" Di Renjie walked into the front yard of Gu Qing's house, where Sun Simiao lived in the hut.

"Woke up so early?" Sun Simiao was still in his pajamas and opened the door when the cold wind blew in his face.

Di Renjie walked into the room and closed the door, "Students are looking for some medicinal materials to dispel wind and cold. Dali Siqing is not in good health these days."

Sun Simiao didn't feel sleepy anymore, he rummaged through the room that smelled of herbs, and grabbed a few herbs.

Di Renjie wrapped the medicine, "Master, are there any taboos when taking these medicines?"

"That's not true." Sun Simiao put on his clothes, "These medicines are relatively mild, and you can take them while they are hot. Is Dali Temple still busy these days?"

"Very good." Di Renjie carried the medicine, "Students are going to attend business."

"Go, go." Sun Simiao smiled and waved his hands.

Seeing that Di Renjie was going to answer an errand under the wind and snow before dawn, Sun Simiao nodded pertinently and looked at the big house beside him, that kid Gu Qing was probably still sleeping on his back.

Di Renjie rode his horse and walked unhurriedly.

Yang Sheng, who cleared the snow in front of his house, yelled, "So early?"

"Brother Yang is also quite early." Di Renjie was riding on the horse.

"The snow at the entrance of the village has been tossed clean, you hurry to Dali Temple, the snow is so heavy that the road may be blocked by heavy snow in less than half a day." Yang Sheng said.

"Okay." Di Renjie urged the horse under him.

Watching Di Renjie gallop to Chang'an, Yang Sheng looked at Gu's family, Gu Qing is still asleep, is there someone sweeping the snow in front of his house?

The heavy snow kept falling, and the common people in Chang'an got up early to clear the heavy snow. The households of the heavy snow have also begun to prepare for the possible snow disaster. warm up.

When Di Renjie came to Dali Temple and greeted the guards, he heard a violent coughing in the government office.

Walking in front of the Minister of Dali Temple, Di Renjie put down the medicine to help him calm down, "I took some medicine to dispel the wind and cold, and the Minister of Dali Temple wants to keep himself safe."

"It's okay, it's okay." The minister of Dali Temple waved his hands again and again, took out a file and said, "It's just some old problems, you have to deal with a case that happened last night."

Di Renjie took the file suspiciously, "Ju Guo Gong Tang Jian?"

"Yes!" Dali Temple Minister said, "Ju Guogong Tang Jian's family lost a horse last night."

"Boy, let's do it now." Di Renjie received the file.

"There is no need to fanfare." Dali Temple Secretary ordered, "This Tang Jian, the situation is not very good! You should be careful in doing things, the Dali Temple knows how many horses the Duke of Chang'an has."

Di Renjie was puzzled again.

Dali Siqing said, "You will know after you go and see."

"Boy understand." Di Renjie greeted the staff and hurried out of Dali Temple, walking through the neighborhoods one after another. Tang Jian was also proud of his son and married a princess. Maybe it was because he offended Li Er and felt that his official career There is no light and he is negligent everywhere, and after breaking the cans, he ends up being ignored by no one.

Arriving at the door of Tang Jian's house, Di Renjie knocked on the door.

The concierge opened the door and saw a group of people from Dali Temple, and hurried forward, "Please come in, everyone, the Patriarch is already waiting."

Nodding his head, Di Renjie stopped when he led the people through the door, and asked the concierge, "How many years have you been working here?"

"Since the Patriarch came to Chang'an, he has been serving him all the time." The porter replied.

"Then how many horses are there in Duke Ju's mansion?" Di Renjie asked again.

"Just one." The porter returned calmly.
