- Zhao Jin did not expect that just three days later, Zhao Hao's prophecy of "the whole court will fall" came true.
On the fourth day of April, the officials in Nanjing¡¯s Department of Science and Technology suddenly discussed Gao Gong¡¯s many crimes again in the name of inspecting relics in Beijing!
On the fifth day of April, Ouyang Yijing, the censor of Beijing, once again impeached Gao Gong, saying that he was "intimidating the courtiers and specialized in governing the country" and demanded that he be deposed for the people!
On the eighth day of April, Nanjing Censor Li Fupin and others jointly impeached Gao Gong for five crimes!
Every time he was impeached, Gao Gong followed the rules and submitted a letter asking for resignation, and the emperor naturally tried his best to comfort him.
Seeing Gao Gong, he still refused to leave. On April 20th, Beijing Institute of Technology published another book about Li Zhenyuan in the incident. It was a scathing satire on Gao Gong, "As thick-skinned as a city wall, he was repeatedly impeached and asked to quit, but every time he was retained, he came back triumphantly the next day. It has become a joke to the world. I hope the emperor can agree to his request to retreat next time and not let him continue to come out and embarrass himself'
Throughout April, the drama of the battle between the censors of the northern and southern capitals, Gao Xinzheng, touched the nerves of the whole world. Zhao Jin was in the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he was eager to try several times. He wanted to file a petition or co-sign to impeach Gao Gong, but Zhao Hao persuaded him to do so.
Are you kidding me? Can I swim in this muddy water? Although Gao Gong was about to leave the field, he came back two years later, and for the first time, he served as the chief assistant and heavenly official, taking over life and death, and monopolizing power! If Zhao Jin offended the petty Gao Xinzheng because of his father and son, he would definitely not be able to take advantage of him!
Therefore, Zhao Hao had to keep Zhao Jin out of the matter no matter what, so as not to affect his elder brother's career advancement in the future.
Fortunately, Zhao Hao's prediction about "the Manchu Dynasty will fall" was so accurate that Zhao Jin paid great attention to his opinion, so he did not get involved in this drama.
¡°However, this also made Zhao Jin completely convinced that Zhao Hao was thinking about his old brother wholeheartedly and without any selfish motives.
Zhao Jin secretly made up his mind that no matter what happened in the past, he would regard Zhao Hao as his biological brother
??~~
Of course, treating Zhao Hao as a brother seems to have only advantages and no disadvantages.
It¡¯s the end of the month in a blink of an eye, and it¡¯s time to calculate and divide the accounts for the first month of Weijixian¡¯s opening.
After closing for the day, shopkeeper Fang asked everyone to go upstairs to the owner to collect money after they finished their work.
Immediately, cheers resounded throughout the restaurant. This delicious food has been packed every day for a month. Everyone in the restaurant has been busy from morning to night, waiting for this moment!
Shopkeeper Fang specifically stopped Ma Xianglan who was about to leave and said, "Miss Ma, our boss asks you to come up first."
"Okay." Ma Xianglan nodded and went up to the second floor holding on to the railing.
??~~
In the "Spring" elegant room on the second floor.
Zhao Hao was holding a cup of tea in his hand and was looking at the account book happily.
Although he has estimated his monthly profit from the first day, when the money actually arrives in his account and falls into his pocket, he still makes people happy from ear to ear.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the first day's free entertainment, there were a total of 29 days of business. The restaurant was full every day, with a total income of 4,060 taels of silver.
Of course, high income also comes with low costs. The largest expense comes from food expenses.
If you want to pursue the ultimate umami taste, you can¡¯t just rely on ultra-fresh powder. You must also use the freshest and best ingredients. Throughout April, the meat and vegetable ingredients, wine, tea, and various condiments purchased from various places in Jinling City cost a total of 1,740 taels, with an average discount of 30 taels per table.
Then there are the wages paid to the two chefs, two assistant cooks, four waiters, and Wu Yu and his wife. The chef gets five taels a month, and the others get two taels, making a total of twenty-six taels.
There are also lamp oil, candles, incense and other miscellaneous items, plus some losses and official expenses, the total cost is almost sixty taels.
After deducting expenses, the total balance this month is 2,234 taels
Looking at the balance figure, Zhao Hao couldn't help but whistle. Although this business is not as profitable as sugar, it is stable and low-risk. It is a chicken that keeps laying golden eggs!
While I was enjoying myself, there was a knock on the door outside.
Zhao Hao then closed the account book. After putting away his useless smile and regaining his inscrutable look, Fang coughed lightly and said, "Come in."
The box door opened, and Ma Xianglan walked in accompanied by an elegant fragrance.
"Sir, you are looking for me."
"Miss Ma, please sit down." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
Ma Xianglan sat down opposite him and waited quietly for Zhao Hao's instructions.
Zhao Hao didn¡¯t know where to start. In the past month, Ma Xianglan has not had a day.??, I come here every day to play the piano and perform performances, and I don¡¯t leave until closing time.
But Zhao Hao and her didn¡¯t speak more than ten sentences in total.
It¡¯s not that Ma Xianglan has a cold personality, on the contrary, she is a very cheerful girl who never puts on airs about Qinhuai female history. Not long after coming to the store, everyone became familiar with Wei Ji Xian, and even became good friends with Si Ya.
It¡¯s because Zhao Hao has a guilty conscience and keeps avoiding her.
He felt guilty not because he had copied Ma Xianglan¡¯s poems to trick Ma Xianglan, but because he was worried that Sister Ma, who loved poetry, would ask him for advice on how to write poems and lyrics after the two got to know each other.
How good is this thing? Ma Xianglan taught him just fine.
Therefore, Zhao Hao stays at home all day and rarely comes to the restaurant. Even if he came to the restaurant, he would just take advantage of Miss Ma being busy playing the piano, take a look around, then rub oil on the soles of her feet and run away.
This feeling of guilty conscience is really unpleasant, and Zhao Hao is going to end it today.
"In the past month, Miss Ma has really helped us a lot, and there is nothing we can do in return."
Zhao Hao took out a poem note from his sleeve, handed it to Ma Xianglan and said, "Just give this little poem to the girl as a souvenir."
Ma Xianglan was slightly startled. How could she not understand the meaning of Zhao Hao's words?
She took the poem paper with both hands and carefully put it in her sleeves without reading it on the spot.
"Thank you very much for the reward, young master. If you need help in the future, just tell Xianglan."
???????? Then she gathered her crotch and said a blessing to Zhao Hao, and then quietly retreated.
Seeing that Miss Ma left happily, Zhao Hao breathed a sigh of relief. The money and goods were settled, and the cooperation was over.
Finally, I don¡¯t have to worry all day long.
??~~
In the compartment, Ma Xianglan was holding a piece of poetry and paper, which was very delicious. The carriage had already been waiting outside the door.
As soon as she got on the car, the little maid with a bun in a bun was smiling all over her face, holding a heavy plate of silver ingots, and said to her:
"Girl, look, shopkeeper Fang just gave me two hundred taels of silver."
There are twelve silver ingots on this plate, a total of twenty. Under the light of the glazed lamp on the roof of the car, the white flowers are all beautiful, which is really cute.
¡°Of course Zhao Hao asked shopkeeper Fang to hand it over. Even if Ma Xianglan came to help not for money, but the coachman and maid also had daily expenses, she couldn't be allowed to contribute money by herself, right?
Shopkeeper Fang told Zhao Hao that Lehu households like Ma Xianglan, who were not registered as Jiaofangsi, had to pay twenty taels of powder money to Jiaofangsi every month. In addition, one has to pay eighty taels of filial piety to an official of the Department of Education and the Ministry of Etiquette every month in exchange for relative personal freedom.
So if you want to be a leisurely and unrestrained housekeeper, the price is one hundred taels per month
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
So Zhao Hao gave two hundred taels.
¡°It¡¯s not too much, not too little¡ Of course, this money cannot be given to her directly, otherwise it would be too humiliating.
