Mrs. Rebirth

The capital city can be said to be a place where every inch of land is expensive, especially these few streets near the imperial city, where even money can't buy it.

Zuo Shaoqing became a poor man after buying a Zhuangzi in the suburbs and renting a store in the downtown area. Now someone told him that he could choose the houses in the entire Zhenguo Mansion, and suddenly became rich overnight. feeling.

It's just that a bigger psychological gap followed. It seems that Zhenbao Pavilion will open as soon as possible. As long as Ke Guanshi's ability is half of that of his previous life, his money bank will be full in a few years.

There was a knock on the door, and Lu Zheng answered, "Come in." Then he saw two young and strong servants walking in behind the housekeeper, holding two stacks of papers in their hands.

Lu Zheng has been away for so many days, and the official affairs accumulated in the mansion can fill up two large boxes, and all the official documents that can be delivered overnight by the housekeeper are urgent and important.

The butler instructed the servant to put away the official documents, and then reported: "Master, Jiang Manor sent an invitation card before dark, inviting you to come to the mansion for a banquet in five days' time."

Hearing that it was Jiang Che's post, Lu Zheng glanced at Zuo Shaoqing lightly, and asked, "What banquet?"

"Grandpa Jiang will celebrate his [-]th birthday this year, and this old slave has already prepared the gift." After speaking, he presented a red paper gift list with both hands.

Lu Zheng took it and glanced at it casually. The old lady has always been in charge of these family relationships, and the housekeeper is the most useful person in front of the old lady. It is safer to do things like gift giving than him.

After reading it, Lu Zheng handed it to Zuo Shaoqing, and the natural attitude made the housekeeper think more highly of Zuo Shaoqing.

For ordinary people, many details can be seen from a gift list, such as the depth of friendship between the two families, the financial resources of the family, and so on.

Zuo Shaoqing had slowly entered the role, and did not deliberately shy away from it. He thought over the gift list carefully, and thought to himself: It seems that what Jiang Che said in his previous life, that he and Lu Zhengshi grew up together is not worthy of the name, otherwise the old man of the Jiang family's birthday , Lu Zheng could not have such an attitude.

I heard that Mrs. Jiang is fond of all kinds of rare and precious jades. He took all the real gold and silver in the Jiang family's treasury and exchanged them for jade antiques, which almost made the Jiang family unable to make ends meet.

The most expensive gift on the gift list is a Hetian jade ornament, although it is precious, it is not rare, obviously it is not carefully prepared.

"What do you see?" Lu Zheng sat beside him and asked with his arms around him from behind.

Zuo Shaoqing poked him with his elbow, trying to warn him that he was still outside, but when he raised his eyes, he found that the butler was staring down at the floor, and the two servants also withdrew at some point.

He coughed twice, and replied solemnly: "They are all valuable things, and the late students can't see anything with limited eyes, but let me say, these are not as good as the rare books and ancient books specially collected by Master Lu."

Lu Zheng laughed lowly, took the gift slip from his fingers and threw it to the butler, "Just do it like this, and choose two handsome book boys for Jiang Shilang, I think he will like it."

Thinking of Jiang Che's plan to exchange two young men for Zuo Shaoqing, a cold light flashed in Lu Zheng's eyes. Anyone who dares to miss him depends on whether he has the ability.

Zuo Shaoqing's heart tightened, and he pretended to ask curiously: "Is Jiang Shilang a manly man?" Could it be that Lu Zheng was among those male pets in Jiang Che's backyard in his previous life?

This feeling is really amazing. In the last life, I was like those male pets who were sent to the backyard of the Jiang Mansion, but in this life, I am from the perspective of giving away.

In his last life, he was not familiar with those people in the backyard of the Jiang Mansion. At that time, although he was cowardly, he had the arrogance of a literati. He didn't talk to the people of Jiang Manor at all, and only locked himself in a box of hatred.

Those days were long and hopeless, and I really don't know how he survived those six years.

It's a pity that Zuo Shaoyan is too masculine, otherwise he must have a taste of being regarded as a forbidden man.

Lu Zheng rested his chin on his shoulder, smelled the fragrance from his neck, and said in a deep voice, "It's just a gentle scum."

Reaching out to push his head down, Zuo Shaoqing lowered his eyelids and asked, "If someone sends you a handsome bookboy in the future, will you accept it too?"

Lu Zheng's eyelids twitched, thinking that Zuo Shaoqing had heard about sending a beautiful boy to the door just now, and immediately shook his head to retort: ​​"I don't need a book boy!" Seeing that Zuo Shaoqing's face was still solemn, he added another sentence: "It's enough to have you!"

Zuo Shaoqing didn't know that when he and Lu Zheng entered the door, someone sent several handsome and beautiful teenagers under various names.

Those people thought they had spied on Mr. Lu's secret hobbies, and rushed to the door to curry favor.

It's a pity that those "gifts" were thrown away by the guards without even stepping on the steps in front of Duke Zhen's mansion. Those who came to the door with gifts were also remembered by Mr. Lu in his heart. Double "repay", just like Jiang Shilang.

The corners of Zuo Shaoqing's lips curled up after hearing his words. If these words came from someone else's mouth, they might not be true, but if they were spoken by Lu Zheng, he would not doubt them at all.

Not only because he believed in Lu Zheng's character, but also because of his previous life, which proved that Lu Zheng was not a womanizer.

Seeing Zuo Shaoqing's pale face, Lu Zheng turned his head and told the housekeeper: "The people who are sent over must be carefully selected, and tell them that if they perform well within three years, I will ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives."

When the butler heard this, he knew that the person who was sent there was not just any kind of person, so he immediately ordered him to go down and prepared not to mention it.

Zuo Shaoqing waited for the door to close before asking Lu Zheng: "Do you want to plant two nails in Jiangfu?"

"You think the guild is sending spies in so openly?"

After thinking about it for a while, Zuo Shaoqing understood that Lu Zheng's actions were obviously giving someone else eyeliner, but the real eyeliner must be buried deep.

These two people were only used to disturb the Jiang family's sight, and it might have an unexpected effect.

"Jiang family...Jiang Dashi is a pure literati, he can be regarded as the leader of the Qingliu." Lu Zheng paused, raised his eyebrows and said: "Although Jiang Che is following the path of a literati, he is a very treacherous one. Otherwise, it would be impossible to rule out dissidents and become Zhan Yuanfeng's confidant."

"This kind of person must be beaten to death with a stick, or he will not get in trouble with him, otherwise if he is targeted by others, he will be a fly that cannot be shaken off. It does not hurt people but is very annoying."

Zuo Shaoqing rubbed his chin, it seems that in his impression, Persistence is a peacock who values ​​fame and fortune, is very elegant, loves to attract bees and butterflies, is self-righteous, and can use any means to achieve his goals.

For him in his previous life, Jiang Che was a high-ranking and powerful official. After all, he was just a small person at that time, but now his mentality is different, and the level he sees is completely different.

Lu Zheng looked at him contemplating his brows under the light, his delicate eyebrows were raised slightly, his lips were pursed a little, even though he couldn't see his eyes clearly, he could still feel the gloomy aura emanating from him.

He likes Zuo Shaoqing like this, but he doesn't want to see him like this. He like this is mysterious and distant, and his whole person is like a thin layer of transparent paper, which feels unreal.

He stretched out his hand and pulled the man to the desk to sit down, forced a writing brush for him, and pointed to the pile of Lao Gao's official documents on the desk, "These are all yours, if you don't understand, you can ask."

Zuo Shaoqing was still a little stunned, staring straight at the two stacks of papers stacked on the desk, and asked uncertainly: "These are all mine?"

He thought that what the old lady said about asking him to help with the housekeeping was just a casual remark, but he didn't expect that this matter would be thrown over before the person entered the door.

He swallowed, his eyes a little awed, if the mistress of Zhen Guogong's mansion has to deal with so many things every day, then the old lady has had a hard time these years.

Lu Zheng knocked on him, "Frightened?" He pointed to the pile on the right and said, "This half is yours, and the other half is mine."

So, in this spacious and quiet study room, two men, one on the left and the other on the right, were writing vigorously, and the sound of friction between the pen tip and the paper became a unique rhythm in the dark night.

Zuo Shaoqing had no experience as a housekeeper, so he could only treat this matter as a national event, and judging from the few family affairs he had just handled, it was not much less than a national event.

Opening a list with a long list of belongings, Zuo Shaoqing shook his hand and almost dripped ink onto the clean rice paper. He stared at his two big eyes and cursed in his heart: Even if he earns ten Nian is also incomparable to Zhen Guogong's nine cows.

Lu Zheng put down an official document that had been sent back from various naval bases. Seeing that Zuo Shaoqing hadn't touched his pen for a while, he leaned over and kissed him, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Zuo Shaoqing mechanically pointed to the list in his hand, "These..."

Lu Zheng glanced down, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "Oh, it's the spoils of this trip."

"The spoils of war?" Zuo Shaoqing only knew that Lu Zheng was going south to rectify the navy this time, and it seemed that he was just going to explore the way. How many spoils of war can he get in just a few days?

Lu Zheng felt that every expression of Zuo Shaoqing was vivid, and people would never get tired of watching him. Seeing how he was obviously curious but knew whether he should ask or not, he unconsciously laughed lowly.

He said calmly: "This time going south, we have encircled and suppressed a pirate's lair. These things are all found from their island."

"No need to turn it over to the treasury?"

"Turn it over to the state treasury for those moths to embezzle and embezzle it in various names? Is the Lord such a stupid person?"

The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth twitched, could this kind of thing be transported home in a fair and honest manner?If the censor took part in a book, the glorious image of Lord Lu would be completely ruined, right?

Lu Zheng got up and walked to a bookcase, and gently turned a book in front of Zuo Shaoqing, only to see that the two adjacent large bookcases were slowly separated, revealing an ordinary wall.

Lu Zheng knocked three times regularly towards a certain place on the wall, and a boxy hidden compartment suddenly appeared on the originally smooth wall, and he took a ledger from it and walked over.

"Record the list in your hand here one by one. These are the military expenses for the navy's shipbuilding recruitment."

Zuo Shaoqing took over the thick account book and felt extremely heavy. At the same time, he reflected on himself. How could he think that Mr. Lu is a person who loves money?

No matter how wise the monarch is, there will inevitably be a few corrupt officials. What's more, Emperor Tianfeng has just ascended the throne and has not had time to sort out the court. As far as he knows, in the next two years, there will be many families of courtiers who have their families ransacked and exterminated.

It was right for Lu Zheng to keep this money. If it really went into the treasury, it would be much more difficult to get money from the treasury to build a navy.

Just when he was in admiration of Lu Zheng's wise decision, he heard the master say: "Why are you so sad? Your share of the master has been set aside, and it is in the warehouse. If you like it, you can go and see it now." .”

"Slap!" The ledger in Zuo Shaoqing's hand fell to the ground for a moment, he took a deep breath, bent down to pick up the ledger, and decided to cancel the self-reflection just now.

He recorded everything in the book one by one without looking sideways. Less than half of the transcription, he couldn't help asking: "What did you keep?"

Seeing that he finally stopped pretending to be nonchalant, Lu Zheng felt complacent, and replied calmly: "They are all small gadgets, not worth a lot of money."

No wonder!The corner of Zuo Shaoqing's mouth raised a big arc, put down his pen, threw his arms around Lu Zheng's neck and kissed him heavily, and said extremely nastyly: "As long as it is given by you, the late students will like it!"

Lu Zheng was very satisfied with his reaction, and nodded calmly, "It's okay if you don't like it, anyway, I'm worried that I have nothing to give away, so the corrupt officials in the court will like it very much."

Zuo Shaoqing smiled mischievously, "Why do you give them gifts? They are all a group of people who don't live long."

What he said was not nonsense. The first people in memory who were stabbed by Emperor Tianfeng were a few veterans who were corrupt and perverted the law. After a long time in office, they became rich. Few of the veterans who can be ranked in the Golden Palace have clean hands and feet.
