"Ma'am, you're back!"

Feng Jiwen got out of the carriage in front of her house, and as soon as she walked into the courtyard with Xiaoxian, she saw Liu Quan almost trotting up to meet her, and bowed to her closely. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, the sky was almost dark, but Feng Jiwen could also see the layers of joy on his face, and couldn't help asking: "What is the great joy at home? ”

Liu Quan smiled "hehe", walked forward with her, and said: "Mrs. I'm afraid I haven't heard of this, right? This morning, the emperor praised and rewarded the uncle in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, and at noon he personally set up a banquet in the palace to reward it-this afternoon, Mrs., as soon as you left, someone came to the palace to deliver the decree, and the reward was carried to the front hall one after another, and finally the head in the hall could not be put down, and it was carried to the front yard!"

Although Feng Jiwen had something on her mind, she heard him say this, but she also sincerely felt happy for He Shen and even the entire He family, smiled, and said casually: "Then it was unfortunate that I left and didn't see the lively situation at that time. ”

After finishing speaking, he asked, "Is the uncle back?"

"The uncle came back an hour ago, and asked the servant to go to Dali Temple to find his wife. Liu Quan said with a smile: "Uncle has already ordered the kitchen to prepare wine and food, and I am waiting for your wife to eat at this time!"

Feng Jiwen was slightly stunned when she heard this.

It is not surprising that He Shen can guess that she went to Dali Temple, but it stands to reason that he returned to Beijing for the first time, and today he was rewarded by the emperor, and there must be countless people who come to visit her, and I don't know how many people are entertained outside-

Even if these things aside, there must be a lot of things that he needs to deal with in the Criminal Department and the Tax Customs Yamen, but he went home early, and was waiting for her to come back and have dinner together.

It's as if nothing has happened today.

And Liu Quanxian was really happy for his master, and perhaps he deliberately wanted to make Feng Jiwen happy, chattering with Feng Jiwen along the way about the reward he received today.

According to Liu Quanyan, He Shen was promoted by the emperor today to be the former minister of the imperial court, the military aircraft department, and concurrently served as the commander of Manchuria with the blue flag.

These few errands, just carry them out, are all unbelievable.

In addition to the promotion of official positions, he also rewarded Shuchun Garden, a royal annex adjacent to the Old Summer Palace, as a reward.

In addition, the flag of Heshen Manmen was also raised, which was carried from the original red flag to the yellow flag in the upper three flags.

It's just that Feng Jiwen was absent-minded, and she couldn't listen to the rest of the things too carefully.

It wasn't until the husband and wife had dinner and returned to Tsubaki together that they sat in the hall eating tea and talking, and heard He Shen mention this place again.

He said: "Today, the emperor has rewarded a villa, and in recent days, Mrs. has arranged for the people to clean up, let's move to live temporarily." ”

Hearing that she was going to move to live elsewhere, Feng Jiwen asked carefully: "The emperor also rewarded the other garden?"

"The emperor has rewarded Shuchun Garden—the lady has also been here. ”

"Is that the Shuchun Garden where Princess Hejing holds the Peony Flower Festival every year?" Feng Jiwen asked with some surprise.

Seeing her expression, He Shen couldn't help laughing, and nodded and said the word "um".

Although his expression was calm and indifferent, the surprise in Feng Jiwen's heart was half unabated.

On the reward of meritorious deeds, it is the embodiment of stabilizing the dynasty and cherishing talents, but aside from the reuse, just from the act of giving Shuchun Garden to He Shen as a private garden, it has been enough to see Qianlong's current importance and favor for He Shen, full of up and down, I am afraid that no one can compare with it.

He Shen seemed to see her thoughts, and said: "Shuchun Garden is adjacent to the Old Summer Palace, and the emperor often handles official business in the Old Summer Palace, so the reason why Shuchun Garden was given must be to facilitate the summoning. ”

Feng Jiwen nodded slightly.

Even so, it also shows Qianlong's special trust in He Shen from the other side.

However, these are all things written in the history books, but the time is out of order, Feng Jiwen calmed down after a short period of surprise, and couldn't help but ask him: "Why do you want to move to Shuchun Garden?"

The house that I was optimistic about before was being repaired by Liu Quan, and it will be completed in about half a month.

And here the emperor just gave Shuchun Garden, he is going to move over and live for a long time, so I am afraid that others will not know that Shuchun Garden has changed the master's "swagger" style, which is not very similar to He Shen's usual style.

He Shen didn't answer her in a hurry, but said: "After the court this morning, the emperor announced that I would go to the imperial study. ”

Although Feng Jiwen didn't know why he suddenly changed the topic, she still listened to him quietly.

"The emperor asked me, but there was nothing you wanted. He Shen said with a smile.

But what could you want?

Feng Jiwen thought about it for a while, and then figured out why Qianlong would promote the reward and Shen in front of the civil and military officials, and then asked this question-

Only because of this Heshen went to Yunnan, ostensibly to escort grain and grass and military salaries, but in fact, he was ordered to quell the capture of the eighth elder brother.

This holy command cannot be said explicitly, and even if it is a great achievement, it cannot be rewarded.

That's why Qianlong asked He Shen to mention 'what reward do you want'.

The intention is to make amends.

"What did you ask the emperor for?" Feng Jiwen asked.

This kind of opportunity is something that others can't ask for.

"I asked the emperor for a piece of land. ”

Feng Jiwen was stunned when she heard this.

“…… Got a piece of land?"

"It's in Shichahai. He Shen said to her: "Just in Qianhai West Street, in Desheng Gate, when I went to Shichahai with my wife to play, I happened to pass by here, and I felt that it was a good place to build a house." ”

Thinking of Prince Gong's Mansion still standing in Shichahai hundreds of years later, Feng Jiwen vaguely had a sense of fate that 'everything is doomed in the dark', and couldn't help but feel a little inexplicable and asked, "Why did the master ask for this?"

To tell the truth, it is not worth taking such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to exchange a piece of land.

In other words, it was a big loss.

This is really not in line with his calculating temperament.

Looking at the capital, there are mountains and rivers and places suitable for building houses, except near Shichahai, it is difficult to find a second place. He Shen looked at her with a smile and said: "The color of this kind of landscape is far from being comparable with the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, but it is a little quieter than the downtown in the city - I have sent someone to Yangzhou to invite a famous craftsman to come, although it is difficult to make a second Jiangnan for my wife, but I can always draw a little resemblance to the gourd." ”

At this time, Fang Cai said: "But this is a big project, and it will take several months soon, so I want my wife to move to Shuchun Garden for the time being." ”

Feng Jiwen was already a little distracted when she heard this.

She never thought that the reason why he moved his mind to build a house in Shichahai was because he preferred according to her preferences.
