Ji Tong soon received Gu Wanning's order.

Since Gu Guanning entered the palace, Ji Tong and his guards have also lost their original usefulness.

Gu Wanning, as the queen of the Middle Palace, was protected by guards of the forbidden army. Ji Tong and a group of secret guards could not enter the palace and stayed in the prince's mansion.

For more than a year, Ji Tong has collected some news and picked out some important ones to send to the palace, but there is nothing important other than that. Speaking of which, it's really boring.

After receiving Gu Guanning's order, Ji Tong immediately summoned all the secret guards to come and give a lecture, and then ordered them to go down and let the secret guards scatter in the capital to find a suitable place to build a good hall.

A few days later, Shen Jinyan returned to the prince's mansion and summoned Ji Tong to come to meet him.

Ji Tong, who has not yet reached the thirties, is in his prime, with outstanding skills, full of energy, and bright eyes. He bowed his hand and bowed his head in obedience.

Shen Jinyan has grown up in the Hou Mansion since he was a child, and he has tried his best to be simple over the years, and his gestures are still the demeanor of the prince of the Hou Mansion that he has been cultivated since he was a child, and he smiled gently and politely: "Commander Ji doesn't have to be polite. I think my sister has already ordered someone to send you a message, and from this day on, you will obey my command and send until the good hall is built. ”

Ji Tong respectfully replied.

Shen Jinyan didn't be too polite, and asked bluntly: "I want to choose a place to build a good hall, preferably a place where the poor people live." The place should be spacious, at least a dozen acres of land. Today, you will have people look for suitable places all over the capital. It's better to pick out three or four of them, and I'll look at them one by one before making a decision. ”

Ji Tong listened silently, and only after Shen Jinyan finished speaking, did he report with a smile: "Shen Gongzi, the slave is brave, and he has given an order a few days ago." The Dark Guards have found two suitable places. If Childe has some free time, it doesn't hurt to go and see it today. If they are not satisfied, let them continue to look for it. ”

Then he said methodically: "To build a good hall, in addition to buying land, you also need to hire many craftsmen. For example, carpenters and bricklayers need to buy raw materials such as wood and stone, and as for medicinal materials, they can wait for the good hall to be built and then buy them one by one. ”

"It's the most tedious thing here. The minions thought that it was better to ask a shrewd bookkeeper to calculate the cost, add some profits, and then directly contract things to the craftsman leader. The minion is directly responsible for supervising the work, which saves time and effort. ”

Shen Jinyan: "......"

Seeing that Shen Jinyan didn't speak, Ji Tong was a little apprehensive in his heart, and arched his hand: "This is just a superficial view of a minion. How to do it, please let the son decide. ”

Shen Jinyan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Your proposal is very good. I was just sighing, no wonder my sister wants you to help me. You alone are enough for ten or twenty. ”

Gu Fu, who was following behind Shen Jinyan, was slightly pantothenic.

He has served Gongzi for so many years, and he has never heard Gongzi praise him like this.

Ji Tongxin was calm and calm, and he was not fluttering because of a few words of praise: "The slave has been working on errands since he was fifteen years old, and he has been doing things for more than ten years. In the past, I used to lick blood with a knife, so I had to be careful. Since I arrived at my mother's side, I have become much more comfortable. Niangniang confesses such errands, if the slaves can't do it, they won't be able to see Niangniang again in the future. ”

Shen Jinyan smiled happily: "I also want to open the good hall well and live up to my sister's trust and high hopes for me." I'll be free today, so I'll leave the house now and see what the Secret Guards have picked out. ”

Ji Tong smiled and said hello.

……

The two places picked by the guards were indeed in the places where the people lived.

In order not to attract attention, Shen Jinyan deliberately changed into a cyan cloth coat and rode an ordinary white horse. It's just that he is very handsome, polite, and outstanding. How can this cloth cover it?

Along the way, I don't know how many people are looking forward to it.

Among them, women are the majority.

Everyone is raised in the boudoir, and they will not show their heads when they are idle. Ordinary people's homes are not so exquisite. Girls who are to be married at the age of fourteen or fifteen stay at home, and those who are younger than twelve or thirteen years old have less scruples. Young women who are married, or women who are old, are everywhere.

Shen Jinyan hadn't shown up in front of people for several years, and when the sun was shining, he rode a horse again, walking in front of everyone, only feeling that his heartbeat was uncontrollable.

It was as if everyone was watching him.

It seems that there are many malicious people whispering and laughing in a low voice: Look, this is the illegitimate child born by the unchaste and unclean Dingbei Hou Lady who stole ~ birth......

Shen Jinyan subconsciously clenched the reins, and his body stiffened a little.

Ji Tong's gentle voice came from behind him: "Childe doesn't have to be nervous. These people looked at each other because they had never seen such a handsome and outstanding boy as Childe. ”

They had no idea who he was.

Those contempt, mockery, and contempt were all imaginary scenes of his imagination.

Shen Jinyan slowly released the reins, and his palms were wet with cold sweat. But his heartbeat has slowly stabilized, and his eyes have gradually cleared.

He turned his head and thanked Ji Tong behind him: "Thank you." ”

Ji Tong responded with a smile: "Childe rarely comes out and walks around on weekdays, so when he sees a lot of people, he can't help but be a little nervous. In fact, they just admired Gongzi's demeanor, and there was no malice. ”

I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart.

Miss is naturally arrogant, glamorous, naturally majestic, and has a strong aura. No matter what the occasion, just take it as if you were waiting.

Shen Jinyan in front of him is naturally delicate and sensitive, and he has become extremely inferior and fragile because of his unbearable life experience. After being looked at by passers-by a few times, his whole body stiffened and broke out in a cold sweat......

He grew up in a bunch of rough men, and he had never dealt with such an inferiority complex and sensitive teenager, and he was a little awkward for a while. I had to slow down the sound as much as I could.

Fortunately, Shen Jinyan has calmed down.

The hardest is always the first step.

Once you've taken this step, the next step is much easier.

……

The two places that the guards found were in the places where civilians lived. One of them used to open a medicine hall, but the medicine hall was not well managed and closed not long after. The other place is more spacious, with a few families scattered around.

Shen Jinyan looked at the two places carefully and was quite satisfied. Which one to choose, but I was a little hesitant to decide. asked Ji Tong: "Which one do you think is better?"

Ji Tong never took the initiative to open his mouth, let alone interfere with his master's decision. Shen Jinyan asked, and he replied: "The medicine hall is ready-made, and it can be used if it is slightly renovated." It's just that the place is a little smaller. The other place was twice as big, except that a few families had to be moved. If the son likes, make up more silver. Just let them settle in another place. ”

And that makes sense.

Shen Jinyan quickly made a decision: "Then choose the latter place." ”

Riding a horse for most of the day, it was almost evening, Shen Jinyan did not go back to the Tai Hospital, and simply went back to the Prince's Mansion.

Before he reached Wutong House, he met someone he didn't want to meet and didn't want to see.
