At night, the father and son duo sat under the lamp on the chair and read a book. One of them knelt on the ground with his head lowered, his small face full of dissatisfaction.

Just now when Zhao Qi counted the gifts, Zhu Yisu noticed that his son secretly gave the unrecognizable bank note sent by the substitute king to Liu Shimin. This made him extremely angry.

This was a thousand taels of silver and their little courtyard was full of money. Imagine, how big of a mansion could a thousand taels of silver buy?

Not to mention the mansion, once they arrived at the Thousand Clubhouse Xinping Fort, they would have to pay a visit to their superior to buy the mansion, which one of them didn't need to spend money?

The most important thing was that Zhu Yisu was used to living in poverty. Ever since he was young, he hadn't even seen one hundred silver taels. The total amount of gifts was more than two thousand taels, but he never expected that his son would actually give away half of his family property!

Zhu Yisu had no objection to giving gifts to the eunuchs who had issued the edict. After all, this was the usual practice. It depended on who it was. He didn't hate Liu Shimin, so even if he did, he had to give it away.

Rather, it wasn't appropriate to give money to Liu Shimin. If Liu Shimin could be accepted by Chen Jing as a disciple, could he be a eunuch that collects money? Obviously not. Giving money to him was a good deed, but Liu Shimin would look down on him instead.

At the end of the day, Zhu Yisu was still unwilling to part with the money and was even more worried that Liu Shimin would look down on him. With his Elementary Scholar status, Zhu Yisu had always been the person who cared the most about face, and the person who didn't care about face was the eunuch.

Since he couldn't read through his frustration, he put down his book and glared at his son. "Get up and speak. Tell me, how did you give the money to Lord Liu?"

This was also what Zhu Yisu was curious about. In his understanding, even if Liu Shimin loved money, he wouldn't accept a mere thousand taels of silver. After all, a good reputation was Liu Shimin's trademark. If he destroyed the brand, Liu Shimin would lose the favor and flattery of the literati group.

"When Erlang gave the silver to Lord Liu, Lord Liu's expression was very bad, just like what my father did just now. After Erlang 1 told him the reason, Lord Liu accepted it. Lord Liu doesn't understand that Erlang can misunderstand him, but why would Father misunderstand his intentions? "

Zhu Yisu choked and snorted lightly, then said: "Tell me the specifics. I can't explain it properly, so I will serve you tonight under the family law."

"This money is for His Majesty." This money is for His Majesty. Jiro could also tell that Lord Liu was a good official. How could he give Lord Liu money? "Our family has very little silver, why not give us two bags of snacks instead?"

With the knot in his heart resolved, Zhu Yisu thought about the thousand taels of silver that flew to the emperor's pocket and felt quite pained in his heart. He then said with a stern face, "Why don't you discuss this with your father? It was not that I was unwilling to part with the silver, but that I was angry with Erlang for making the decision on my own. "Remember, next time."

"I will save it, I will never do it again."

If I discuss this with you, how can I show that I, a virgin, have feelings for you? The secret service of the Ming Dynasty of today's first courtyard could move His Majesty only if they didn't discuss making decisions without thinking. Wasn't this official position soaring like a rocket?

Zhu Yisu waved his hand and felt that he couldn't let this brat off so easily. He said, "Go and write 5 words. Sleep after you finish."

Second Elder Brother Zhu still hadn't left, as if he had something to say. Zhu Yisu sipped some tea and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"That... Father, now that our clan's status has disappeared, in two days, we will move to Xinping Fort. This marriage in Lee Family, is it? "

Seeing his son's somewhat anxious expression, Zhu Yisu frowned slightly and said, "Go write. I will think about it."

Previously, he had only hoped that the Emperor would be able to erase his father's and his son's ancestral statuses. It was only a formality to say that the Emperor took it seriously.

Now that he was in the rank of a rank 5 warrior, Zhu Yisu couldn't help but change his mind. Now, looking at Lee Family young lady, he suddenly felt all sorts of unpleasantness to the eye. His big feet aside, he was even older than his own son. The older sister had even committed suicide when she was a beauty pageant girl. It was truly not a good family. He felt that since his son was of First Emperor Gao's bloodline, it was only right for him to marry a third or fourth grade defender's daughter.

This was not just a matter of face, it was for Second Elder Brother Zhu's future. In the future, Second Elder Brother Zhu will take over a thousand jobs and have a strong father-in-law.

As for the Lee Family, young lady, if your son is truly unwilling, then just take in a concubine.

As a talented member of the clan, marriage was not something he had tasted before.

Seeing that the old man was obviously going to change his mind, Second Elder Brother Zhu was annoyed. He went back to his room sulkily, took up his brush and pondered for a long time. His lips curled into a smile as he completed the mission, untied his hairband, and fell into a deep slumber.

After the dispute between father and son ended, Zhao Qi then returned to the main house to discuss about the return gift with Zhu Yisu. The local squire's gift was accepted for 9 yuan, but the three families of the Substitute King's Mansion, Old Master Liu, and Daizhou Kaizhou had to return the gesture.

He had to return the money as an equal, and Second Elder Brother Zhu had decided to offer 1000 taels of silver to the emperor to bankrupt the family. At the very least, the thousand taels of silver from the duke's manor would be enough to empty the entire house.

Zhao Qi was quick-witted and said: "Master, second brother is quite talented. Why don't you let your second brother transcribe a few scrolls of the military book for Old Liu's family, and make your second brother transcribe the first volume of the Vajra Sutra on behalf of the imperial concubine. "As for Lord Zhizhou, the complete set of the Four Books and Five Classics will do."

Zhu Yisu frowned and thought for a while. His eyebrows slowly relaxed, "Good, this gift of return is not stained with white and yellow. It's very considerate." Wonderful, truly wonderful. "

After figuring out the biggest knot in his heart, Zhu Yisu's mood relaxed. At least he won't lose his face because of the gift. Thinking for a moment, Zhu Yisu instructed: "Since you want to give me a book, I need to use the highest quality paper. "Don't think it's too expensive. Go to the capital tomorrow and buy five pieces of the best bamboo paper."

About 3 taels of silver for expenses, 5 blades of ordinary white paper is also about 90 taels of silver. But this is a book for giving away, the quality of the paper must be good.

Zhu Yisu had confidence in his son's words, and his words could be passed down. Although they were filled with killing intent, they were written at a tender age of ten.

Second Elder Brother Zhu's first benefit from the inexplicable appearance of radio gymnastics was his high control over his body. Practicing the calligraphy and zither was all about training his muscle and nerve memory, and only after a long time could he become proficient. And now, he could unwittingly write the word with high spirits while focusing on calligraphy.

The biggest crisis in the family was solved. Zhao Qi recalled what Second Elder Brother Zhu said today when he was changing his clothes and recounted a few things. He cupped his fists and congratulated him. "It seems that second brother will be able to get Wang Jue sooner or later."

"Don't praise him bad. Rest early today. Remember to buy paper early tomorrow."

After getting rid of Zhao Qi, Zhu Yisu waited for Zhao Qi to return home and turn out the lights before going out. He planned to visit his son and let him rest early so that he could write tomorrow.

He just punished his son, but if he's canceled in front of Zhao Qi, he won't be able to show any face. He waited until Zhao Qi turned off the lights before leaving.

He didn't expect that the lights on his son's house would go out the moment he stepped out of the main door.

It was truly strange that he could not finish writing five words in less than an hour. Zhu Yisu saw his son turned off the lights and returned to the main house.

He didn't know that in this small courtyard, there was a secret service of the Ming Dynasty scout at the top of the main house.

As an example to the clan, the Emperor had the intention to help him up. How could he not send people to keep an eye on him?

Today's conversation between Liu Shimin and the rest, as well as the conversation between father and son and their master and their servants, had already been recorded by the secret service of the Ming Dynasty on the roof.

It might be sent to Emperor Wanli after a layer of screening.

In the 48 years of Emperor Wanli's reign, the clan had expanded from a little over 10 thousand years ago to over 100,000 people. One could imagine how much financial pressure the clan had brought to the throne.

Therefore, the late Wan Li School opened its doors, but few people responded to it.

These 100,000 families were still registered, as well as a large number of ancestors that had committed crimes and were impeached as commoners. This group of people did not give an ultimatum. No matter what, they were from First Emperor Gao's bloodline, and no matter how poor the local magistrate court was, they still had to give them a few tons of rice each month to ensure their survival.

Normally, even the lowest level State Dedicating Lieutenant would be able to take a concubine as a wife, but in order to keep the younger generation of the clan, their Imperial Clan Court had been compressed to the point of being a concubine, let alone a general or a first rank officer.

Of course, he could also take in a concubine without permission. Then, his son and daughter would be completely black.

The sky was bright, and Lee Family's family drove the ox cart to the fields to harvest the last of the wheat fields. There weren't many left, so only the two of them went. Lee Yuvniang, on the other hand, remained in the mansion, feeling a little lonely.

Lee Yuvniang looked at her sister and asked, "Sister A, do you think Second Brother will come today?"

"If I'm not sure, Zhu husband will be dubbed as one of the thousands of families under the Son of Heaven's Mandate. If it's an older sister, I wouldn't want my son to lose face. "

At this time, Zhao Qi drove the ox-cart to Daizhou Region City to buy paper. Zhu Yisu pushed open his son's door, first went to the desk to take a look, then shook his head with a smile, and cursed: "Little Slick."

On the straw paper on the table, three large words were written: "5".

He really only slept after writing five words...

After washing his face and hearing how much he had to write today, Second Elder Brother Zhu's head felt like it was going to explode, and a bitter expression appeared on his face. Zhu Yisu told him the reason why he made the transcript, and the reason was still because he decided to take out the 1000 taels of silver.

What else could Second Elder Brother Zhu do? He could only grit his teeth and accept it.

As a university student who had survived the war of questions, Second Elder Brother Zhu was not afraid of copying or writing with calligraphy. Although in his previous life his girlfriend had studied calligraphy at an art school and practiced calligraphy for a period of time, how could writing with a soft, pointed brush be as comfortable and fast as writing with a hard brush?

Suddenly, Second Elder Brother Zhu thought of a guy who had bullied him before. He could not help but pat his chest and say, "Father, don't worry. Erlang will go and make some preparations. It will be completed by tonight."

Then, without asking Zhu Yisu, he turned around and ran to the side room. He picked up the box given to him by the squire nearby, tore off the red paper slip on the box, and ran to the village with two gift boxes.
