Because Zhang Fei was busy dealing with Wang Wenshan at that time, and it was Cao Dongdong at the time, and Ma Xiaoyi saved his half-life, so he did not discuss the remuneration issue with Cao Dongdong, but he believed that he was still in the yamen after all, so he should not be treated badly.
It is precisely because of this ignorance that people feel expectant.
"Zhang San, my office is here, come out quickly!"
"Third brother, are you there?"
"I'm coming!"
Before they even entered the door, they heard Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi crying and howling inside the shop, slapping the table and banging on the door, which made Zhang Fei speed up his pace.
But as soon as he entered the door, Zhang Fei was stunned.
What the hell? Just...just a small gift box?
When Ma Tianhao and the others came just now, they were carrying big wooden boxes inside. How spectacular it was!
"Zhang San!"
When Cao Dongdong saw Zhang Fei, he was extremely excited. He rushed forward and put a hand on Zhang Fei's shoulder, "Thanks to you this time, I have to be clean. I didn't trust the wrong person! Haha!"
"
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Fei lifted Cao Dongdong's hand and said, "Let me be quiet. If I remember correctly, it seems that the office has not paid my remuneration."
Ma Xiaoyi jumped forward and said with a smile: "Third brother, we saved your life, we just saved it!"
Cao Dongdong nodded: "Yes, yes, we can be regarded as your saviors, you still have the nerve to ask us for money."
Are you trying to play this trick with me? Zhang Fei said: "But I did two favors for Yanei. First, I won the lawsuit, and second, I prevented Yanei from being punished by the Queen Mother."
Cao Dongdong said in surprise: "How do you know I haven't been punished?"
Zhang Fei smiled and said: "If the yamen is punished, can you still live here?"
"That's true!"
Cao Dongdong chuckled and said: "You know, my aunt just told me to be careful in everything in the future, and also praised me for sticking to the bottom line and not losing face to our Cao family."
After talking about it, this guy couldn't help but laugh proudly.
It turned out that after the lawsuit was over, Empress Dowager Cao felt a little guilty, wondering why she didn't trust her grandnephew or outsiders at that time.
Not to mention punishing him, he also praised him a few times and gave him many good snacks, which made Cao Dongdong extremely happy.
This is the first time in my life that I have been praised like this by my aunt.
Zhang Fei said: "So you just thank me like this?"
Cao Dongdong shook his head and saw Taozi, whose face was bloody and bloody, coming forward and opening the small wooden box in his hand.
"Gold?"
Zhang Fei's eyes suddenly lit up.
It is said that this is the first time he has seen gold in the Northern Song Dynasty. The transactions he had with Ma Tianhao and the others were all in copper coins.
Cao Dongdong smiled and said: "If you help me like this, how can I treat you badly in my office? Here is one hundred taels of gold, is that enough?"
The Cao family is really rich.
After all, Cao Bin contributed to the founding of the country and was named king.
But this routine is a bit old, can't we add some new tricks? Zhang Fei rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "It's a waste of money in the office, isn't it? In fact, I have always regarded money as dirt. This is not what I love, nor what I want."
Need it!"
Tao Zi, who was listening carefully, suddenly felt his hands light up. He looked over and saw that the box had already reached Zhang Fei's hand.
Cao Dongdong asked: "What do you love and need?"
Zhang Fei held a hundred taels of gold in his arms, looked up to the sky and sighed, "I want to have a family."
Cao Dongdong is not stupid, "This house in Bianjing is very expensive, so I can't afford to give it away."
Zhang Fei coughed: "Home doesn't mean a house."
"What does that mean?"
"People!"
"Do you want me to help you find your parents?" Cao Dongdong asked.
"...?"
Zhang Fei looked at Cao Dongdong's sympathetic eyes and almost cried. He choked and said: "I have been looking for my parents, so I won't bother my office to worry about them. It's just that my parents have always wanted me to have a family."
"woman!"
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly said: "The third brother is talking about a woman?"
Zhang Fei immediately gave Ma Xiaoyi two thumbs up and almost burst into tears. It is true that my parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and Xiao Ma is the one who knows me.
He was confused. It was normal for women to be given as gifts in the Northern Song Dynasty, but why no one had ever given them to him.
Just know how to send money.
vulgar!
How vulgar!
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei curiously, "Zhang San, at your age, you haven't married and had children yet?"
Please! I am only twenty-four, so I seem to be considered an older youth here. Zhang Fei nodded shyly.
Cao Dongdong asked again: "Have you ever visited a brothel?"
So direct? Zhang Fei blushed and shook his head.
Cao Dongdong was shocked and said: "Then aren't you..."
Zhang Fei nodded.
Cao Dongdong asked extremely curiously: "How did you hold back?"
Zhang Fei said: "I can't bear it anymore."
"Ouch!"
Cao Dongdong slapped his thigh, "You told me earlier, I will give you a concubine."
"Concubine...Concubine?"
"Um."
Cao Dongdong nodded and said: "I have many concubines, I don't mind giving you any of them."
In these days of the Northern Song Dynasty, not only concubines were given away, but also concubines were exchanged. This aspect was very chaotic.
But Zhang Fei couldn't stand it and thought, if you get tired of playing with it, just give it to me. What will happen to me? I don't have such a hobby!
Cao Dongdong looked at Zhang Fei without saying anything, "Isn't one enough?"
"Enough... no... it's not a question of whether it's enough, that's another matter, but...!" Zhang Fei forced a smile and said, "It's just how can I win the love of the Yameni."
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly said: "Brother, have you forgotten that when we came today, we planned to invite the third brother to have a drink at Baifunlou. Just one day later, there will be a auction meeting in Baifunlou, and there will be many people in it.
A good girl, why don’t you buy one as a gift to your third brother?”
You little clever guy. Zhang Fei found that Ma Xiaoyi was getting cuter and cuter, and he was so understanding of people's thoughts.
Cao Dongdong said boldly: "That's okay, what do you think?"
He really wants to be on good terms with Zhang Fei now so that he can happily do bad things in the future.
Zhang Fei hesitated, "I'm so handsome, but I have to buy women to start a family. This...!"
Cao Dongdong said impatiently: "I don't want to give it to you, but I don't want to buy it, so what do you want to do? You can't just rob it. I also want to..."
"Ahem, I mean, is it illegal to buy a girl from a good family?"
"If it is illegal, how dare Baifanlou do that? Some women were sold voluntarily, and some were demoted as slaves because they broke the law. They still belong to the public family. Can the public family break the law?"
"It makes sense!" Zhang Fei nodded, "Then it's settled."
“What is illegal and not illegal?”
Xu Zhiqian suddenly walked out.
"nothing!"
Zhang Fei put one hand on Cao Dongdong's shoulder and the other on Ma Xiaoyi's shoulder, "Just now, the government office asked me for some legal advice."
Xu Zhiqian glanced sideways at Cao Dongdong and said, "Yameni, you are lucky this time. If you don't repent, you won't be so lucky next time!"
"I.....!"
As soon as Cao Dongdong said a word, Zhang Fei choked him back, "Don't worry, Madam Xu, I will watch over them."
Xu Zhiqian looked at Zhang Fei suspiciously and said, "I'm going back first."
"Ms. Xu, walk slowly."
As soon as Xu Zhiqian left, Zhang Fei let go of Cao Dongdong and Ma Xiaoyi and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Ahem, cough, cough, Zhang San, you are about to strangle me to death."
"Sorry! Sorry! I was excited and used too much force."
Cao Dongdong straightened up and said to Zhang Fei: "Why are you afraid of Mrs. Xu? Could it be you two...!"
Zhang Fei said hurriedly: "Don't think nonsense, I still want to live for a few more years, I'm just afraid that the woman will go back and tell my benefactor."
Cao Dongdong nodded in understanding, he often did this, and said: "To tell you the truth, although this lady Xu is beautiful, she has a very fierce temper. I usually don't dare to offend her. At present, we
There is no man in Bianjing who can conquer her."
Ma Xiaoyi suddenly said: "I think Mrs. Xu is quite good. Not only is she handsome and has a good figure, but she is also righteous and charitable. She is a heroic woman among women. It's a pity that she doesn't look down on me."
"Um?"
Zhang Fei and Cao Dongdong both looked at Ma Xiaoyi with strange expressions.
.....
Zhang Fei here was only thinking about having fun, but Xu Zun was really worried about Zhang Fei over there.
He never expected that Zhang Fei would refuse to become an official.
If you just reject him, that's fine. The key is that the emperor gave it to you later!
"What?"
Shenzong Zhao Xu looked at Xu Zun in shock, "You said Zhang San refused to become an official?"
Xu Zun nodded.
"Why is this?" Zhao Xu asked extremely curiously.
Who in the world doesn’t want to be an official?
The key point is that Zhang Fei is not the kind of elegant scholar who likes to live in the mountains. He would rather stay in a bookstore than become an official. This hurts people's self-esteem.
Xu Zun said sarcastically: "Zhang San is saying that even if he becomes an official, it will be difficult for him to make a difference."
Zhao Xu said excitedly: "Why did he say that? If he had the ability, how could he not do anything? Does he think I am the kind of fool who doesn't know talents?"
"He never meant this." Xu Zun quickly explained: "It's just...just..."
Zhao Xu asked anxiously: "Just what?"
Xu Zundao: "It's just that he believes that there are many rules in the officialdom, and everything he does must be restricted by all parties, so he feels that it is difficult for him to make a difference."
boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xu slammed the table and said, "Look, look, these redundant officials have become so serious that they are despised by the people in Erbi. If this is not changed, how can the country prosper?"
"Your Majesty is Holy Ming."
Apart from these words, Xu Zun didn't know what to say.
Zhao Xu glanced at Xu Zun, but still refused to give up and said, "I wonder if you can find a way to let him join the court as an official?"
What is not available is the best. The more Zhang Fei resists, the more excited he becomes and the more he wants.
Xu Zundao: "Old minister, there is nothing I can do for the time being, but I don't think that boy is completely rejecting it. It's better to wait and see."
Zhao Xu frowned and said nothing.
He can't wait!
The law is about to change, and it’s the right time to employ people!
