Chapter 17 The Song Dynasty, I, Zhao Yurui, are here

 "Yu Rui is back." Uncle Quan Baochang said with a flattering look on his face.

"Dad, are you leaving with your cousin?" Yu Yong asked.

"You little bastard, if dad doesn't watch you, you might be trying to trick Rui into something big..." Chief Quan continued to speak at length.

Zhao Yurui waved his hand: "Sell the land and the house quickly, and I will get five dollars of wages every month from now on."

"Good" Chief Quan was overjoyed.

"How much am I, cousin?"

"Five Guan."

"Okay."

"Damn it, you're so young, you can just get three guans. Your cousin's money didn't come from the strong wind." The two father and son pretended to be behind.

Zhao and Rui slowly walked back to their room.

I thought to myself, twenty strings are gone.

As the king of Yi, he only had 50 qian per month. He hired four people and spent half of it.

It's not easy to be the prince of the Song Dynasty. If Liang Chengda hadn't been ruthless enough to make him make a fortune recently, he would have had a hard time in Lin'an.

In the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu gave me 10,000 acres of land, three guards, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and then a bunch of officials, maids, and eunuchs. In those small days, if there was no swish, then I would need myself.

Pay for it.

Zhao Yurui was thinking happily in the room when footsteps were heard outside, and not long after, his mother, Quan Shi, appeared at the door.

"Mom, haven't you gone to bed yet?" Zhao Yurui said politely.

Quan looked at him apologetically, because after returning from Lin'an, she felt that her youngest son seemed a little distant from her.

In her opinion, maybe she forced her younger son to withdraw from the battle for King Yi, so the younger son had some opinions about her.

"Yurui." Quan stepped forward and gently grabbed Zhao Yurui's hands again.

Zhao Yurui had no choice but to try his best to recall his mother in his previous life.

"Last time in Lin'an, it was my mother's fault." Quan said in a low voice, "You and Rui must not take it to heart."

"Mom has loved your child the most since she was a child. How could the child think so?" Zhao Yurui said in a good voice: "Mom, stop thinking so wildly. From now on, our family will enjoy the glory together."

Quan's face showed a look of relief.

She hurriedly asked: "If Rui is granted the title of King of Yi, what title will he have with Ju?"

Zhao Yurui said calmly: "According to our Song Dynasty system, there is nothing for the eldest brother for the time being. When I see your Majesty, I will find an opportunity to ask for an official position for my eldest brother, but I can't guarantee it. The imperial court has a court system, and my mother knows it.

For several generations of our ancestors, there was no official title."

"Hey." Mrs. Quan let out a long sigh, and she could only say: "How much salary and land will Rui have?"

Zhao Yurui was a little unhappy at this time, but he still held back and said: "My child has no real job, no land for the time being, and his monthly salary is only fifty guan, but he has already used 25 guan."

"Let's do this, then I will give my mother five more strings every month."

"Twenty-five guans were used?" Quan was stunned.

Zhao Yurui said, I have just arrived in Lin'an and there is no one around me, so I want to take your brother, my uncle, and Quan Yong away. I also hired three more people, using a total of twenty-five strings.

"You want so much for me? Don't be deceived by others, Ruike. In fact, you can leave these things to your mother? The people around you must be considerate and reliable -" The Quan family seemed to want to take his economic power, and it was estimated that Zhao

Yu Rui is still young and will listen to herself.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Yurui's face darkened and he said seriously: "Mom, please stop talking. The child has grown up and is no longer a child. The child can handle the affairs of the palace by himself. At the age of the eldest brother, he has not yet married.

If your career is not yet complete, you should be more concerned about it."

Quan's face suddenly turned ugly.

"Mom, is there anything else? My child is very tired today and wants to go to bed early."

"It's okay, it's okay." Quan murmured and returned to her room glumly.

Someone was waiting in the room. Zhao Yuju saw her coming back and asked hurriedly: "Mother, what did Yurui say?"

"Yurui--give me five guan of money every month."

"Only five guan?" Zhao Yuju said angrily: "How can anyone be so stingy to his mother?"

Then he immediately said: "What about me?"

".." Quanshi.

Her face turned red and she stammered: "Before - we had no income and lived like this. From now on if we have five coins a month - it will definitely be much better -"

Zhao Yuju gritted his teeth: "Even if you don't give me money, my eldest brother still has to help me find an official position?"

"I told Rui that if I have the opportunity to meet His Majesty, I won't forget it."

"When you see His Majesty, all you have to do is speak to the Prime Minister, and you will have no worries."

"Hey, Mom, let's talk about it some other time."

Early the next morning, the county government sent over two large carriages, one of which was filled with money.

After lunch today, they will set off for Lin'an.

Uncle Quan Baochang was anxious to sell his land and house, and go to Lin'an with his nephew to enjoy themselves. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yurui suddenly found him and asked him not to sell it.

Then Zhao Yurui called Quan and his eldest brother: "According to the Song Dynasty system, your status has not changed now."

Because Zhao and Rui adopted the former King of Yi as their heirs, they are no longer considered Quan’s sons and family members.

"I'll leave my uncle's fields and house to you until I get an official position for my eldest brother in the future."

Zhao Yurui originally wanted to bring his eldest brother and mother to Lin'an, but after his mother came to the door last night, he changed his mind. If he brought these two people into the palace, he was afraid that they would cause trouble in the future.

"Ah?" Quan was shocked and didn't expect to stay in Shaoxing.

"Yurui, you have gone too far. How could you treat your mother like this?" Zhao Yuju was furious on the spot.

"Are you scolding me?" Zhao Yurui looked at him with a gloomy face.

Just now he called himself me, but he suddenly turned into me.

He suddenly turned against him, shocking Zhao, Ju and Quan.

Zhao Yuju, who had been so aggressive just now, was scolded by Zhao Yurui in public, and everyone was stunned.

He looked at his brother as if he didn't recognize him. The brother who used to be submissive to him seemed to have completely changed.

"Hey, we are all our own people. Didn't I tell Rui that I will seek officials for you in the future?" The uncle knew what happened in Lin'an, and the Quan family began to want Zhao and Ju to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion alone.

, almost made Zhao Yurui unable to become the King of Yi, but it was his younger sister Quan who did this unethically.

Now he has no choice but to stand up as a peacemaker, obviously favoring Zhao Yurui.

Quan sobbed softly, not daring to refuse, deeply regretting Lin'an's decision.

The mother and son can only stay temporarily.

Seeing this, Zhao Yurui said in a good voice: "My son has just gone to the capital, and I don't know where he will go. I'll wait until I meet His Majesty and the Prime Minister. Anyway, my eldest brother will definitely find an opportunity to help him apply for an official position."



Quan quickly nodded in agreement. Zhao Yuju hesitated for a moment, then forced a smile on his face: "Lao Yurui is here."

After a while, Zhou Lai, Niu Bao and his family, and Quan Yong and the Xu family came.

Zhou Lai Niu Baodu only brought his mother-in-law and son with him. Zhou Lai's father is still alive and he plans to stay in Shaoxing.

There are eight people in the two families.

Two carriages were not enough, so Zhao Yurui asked Quan Baochang and Quan Yong to go to the streets to find two more carriages.

In the afternoon, their four carriages met up with Liang Chengda's and Yao Bizhi's carriages and headed to Lin'an together.

Before leaving, Zhao Yurui asked Quan Yong to carry a big box and quietly stuff it to Liang Chengda.

Liang Chengda accepted it calmly.

After returning, Quan Yong was unwilling to give in. As the king of Yi, why did his cousin give money to the master?

This time Zhao Yurui gave away 300 guan, but he only got more than 2,000 guan in total, which was considered a big deal.

"This person is extremely greedy and cruel." Zhao Yurui said in the carriage at this time: "In the county government, he decided to kill people, kill the Qi family, and seize their property." He did not say anything, this kind of person

,cannot offend for the time being.

"Regardless of his junior official position, he is a good talker in front of the Prime Minister." Zhao Yurui said: "Now he can say one sentence in front of the Prime Minister, which is more effective than a hundred words I can say in front of the Prime Minister.

."

The key is that Liang Cheng reaped the benefits. He could choose not to say some things that he could have said or not.

Quan Yong was thoughtful, and after a moment he laughed and cursed: "Damn it, it's not easy to be the king of Yi and an official, there are so many ways."

"Of course." Zhao Yurui said: "Xiaoyong, we still need to rely on others now. When you go to the capital, you should keep a low profile and don't cause trouble."

"Don't worry, cousin, these good days have just begun. How can I hold my cousin back?"

"Jia" Quan Yong raised his whip and drove the horse forward: "Lin'an City, I'm coming."
