Chapter 225 We Are Just Chatting
It was already 3:00 am when Ye Wuwei returned to Qi Wushuang's bedroom.
As soon as I stepped into the bedroom, I saw Qi Wushuang sitting there.
Under the dim light, Qi Wushuang's eyes appeared particularly bright.
Ye Wuwei walked up to Qi Wushuang and asked, "Wait for me?"
"Ah."
"Didn't you say you had something to do?"
"But I couldn't sleep without you replying."
Ye Wuwei took Qi Wushuang's hand and said, "You have to attend court early tomorrow, go to bed quickly."
Only then did Qi Wushuang lie down on the bed.
"How did things go?"
"It's going well. Don't worry about it for now. Go to sleep first."
Qi Wushuang didn't want to ask about what Ye Wuwei had done, he was just worried about Ye Wuwei's safety. Since Ye Wuwei had returned, he fell asleep quickly.
Ye Wuwei lay on the bed and thought about what he was going to do tomorrow for a while, then fell asleep.
……
On the second day, Ye Wuwei and Qi Wushuang got up together after only sleeping for an hour.
"Why don't you get some more sleep?"
"I have something to do today. I won't be back for dinner tonight, so don't wait for me."
"Then come back early tonight."
"Ah."
Before leaving, Ye Wuwei did not forget to remind Xiao Dengzi: "I won't be back for dinner tonight, you watch Wushuang eat."
Ye Wuwei went to the vicinity of Taiji Hall, where all officials going to court had to pass by.
Seeing Hu Zhiwei coming, Ye Wuwei pulled him aside.
"I have something to ask you. With just your salary and family income, can you possibly have 100,000 taels of gold?"
Hu Zhiwei was startled: "You are not trying to trick me, are you?"
"You and my master are in cahoots, what am I trying to trick you into saying?"
Hu Zhiwei then said, "Absolutely impossible."
"How do the family backgrounds of XXX, XXX, Minister Yan, and XXX compare to yours? How much wealth can they get from the family?"
Ye Wuwei mentioned the names of several court officials from aristocratic families, and included the name of Minister Yan among them.
“Like me, they are not family heads. Although they have a certain say in the family, the family is large and the property they can get from the family is very limited.
For example, when I got married, my family gave me 20,000 taels of silver as a settlement fee. Then, I received about 3,000 taels of silver in dividends from the family every year, but nothing more.
The situations of the people you just mentioned are similar to mine."
At this point, Hu Zhiwei paused and continued:
"Furthermore, the noble families have many social engagements and personal connections, and they also need to maintain their appearance. If they don't find other ways to make money, the dividends given by the family will not be enough."
Ye Wuwei understood what was going on. "Thank you. Just treat the question I asked you as if I hadn't asked you."
"Yes, we were just chatting."
At this moment, a voice sounded: "What are you two talking about?"
Ye Wuwei looked at the newcomer and smiled happily: "Master."
While shouting, he went forward and tried to pull Shui Changqing's body.
After a while, Ye Wuwei pulled out a bag of dried meat and a bag of pine nut candy from Shui Changqing.
"gone."
"Hey, hey, if you take everything away, what am I going to eat later?"
Shui Changqing's habit of eating snacks was brought from modern times to the Qi Dynasty.
Ye Wuwei picked up the spoils in his hand and walked away without looking back.
Shui Changqing used to be in poor health and rarely went out. Hu Zhiwei was not familiar with him. He only heard that he was sinister and ruthless. Now that he got to know him, he realized that the rumors were all false.
Shui Changqing is a kind, mature and steady person, especially when he is with Ye Wuwei, he still has a bit of childishness.
"The Patriarch and Commander Ye have a really good relationship."
The smile on Shui Changqing's face was still rippling: "This brat never forgets to get some benefits from me."
Although he spoke angrily, everyone could hear that his tone was full of doting.
