Lin Hongyi said strangely, what kind of treasure is so valuable? I laughed and said, "Uncle Xiaoshi, come and listen, I'm in a good mood and I'm going to tell you." As soon as Lin Hongyi raised his head, there was no door!

I ignored her and prepared to leave.

Lin Hongyi shouted, Hey!

Well?

Tell me, little uncle.

I wanted to take advantage of it, but I didn't plan to tell her about this kind of thing, but her opening made me a little uncomfortable. Lin Hongyi said that the call is called, so don't sell it.

I thought about it and said, this is Feng Linggan's kidney stone.

Lin Hongyi said that you liared!

I said believe it or not. You take this thing and hide it for a few days, and when he finds out that he has lost something tomorrow, he will definitely go crazy, and when he calms down in a few days, we will blackmail him.

Lin Hongyi said that your words are unreliable.

I said you come with your ears.

After the discussion, Lin Hongyi fled overnight, and I returned to the West Hall, Zhang Youqian said Why did you come back so late.

I said I had a stomach problem, why didn't I see you set the fire?

Zhang Youqian pouted and said, I thought, you see people everywhere, where do I put it.

There were cheers and silk bamboo sounds in the middle hall next door, this time Feng Linggan was doing longevity, and the famous opera troupe of Jinling City, Qin Huai Siyan were all invited to come over and perform in the middle hall, and we, the people of the West Hall, could only sigh in the middle of the heart.

The little eunuch who sent salted fish before, it is estimated that he was arranged to serve the guests here, but now there is a performance in the middle hall, and he is standing on a stool, tiptoeing and looking out.

Zhang Youqian saw it, reached out and took a peanut, and flicked it with one finger.

fluttering, the little eunuch stood unsteadily, fell to the ground, everyone burst into laughter, the little eunuch suddenly said angrily, who did it?

Zhang Youqian immediately said, yes, which one of them who lacks virtue did it? He actually did this poisonous thing to this little father-in-law, who did it to stand up for me, see if I don't castrate him, let him be a eunuch for the rest of his life!

The little eunuch said angrily, are you making fun of me?

Zhang Youqian waved his hand and said, I'm almost hungry and faint, I haven't eaten, where do I have the strength to make fun of you. I said why did Zhang Zhutou talk like this, he still had cold water to drink, and peanuts to eat.

Only then did the little eunuch find the peanuts in Zhang Youqian's hand, saying that you did it!

Zhang Youqian came to him in one step, leaned on his height, looked down at him and said, what did I do?

The little eunuch was shocked by his momentum, and said that it was okay, so he asked. But after thinking about it, this is in Juzhuang, this is bullying him, this is bullying Gonggong Feng, so he said loudly, if you don't want to eat, get out, we don't welcome you in Juzhuang.

At this time, when I heard that there was humanity, who didn't welcome whom?

It turned out that Feng Bao, the steward of Juzhuang, came to toast and happened to encounter this scene. The little eunuch was angry, didn't pay attention to Feng Bao's arrival, and said to himself, in this hall, whoever makes me unhappy, I won't welcome anyone.

Feng Bao said coldly, our family makes you unhappy?

Only then did the little eunuch find out that it was the steward of Juzhuang who came, and hurriedly said: Father-in-law Bao, why are you here?

Feng Bao snorted coldly, I am going to toast with all my birthday friends on behalf of my godfather, Xiao Lizi, you are so angry, and you also helped your father-in-law teach the guests a lesson?

The little plum hurriedly knelt down, first slapped more than a dozen mouths by himself, and then kowtowed like pounding rice, and said: Father-in-law Bao, the little plum is wrong, and I ask my father-in-law to be merciful.

Feng Bao saw Min Qiuye and us, and hurriedly said, Why are the three adults here? I thought you didn't come, and I was about to send someone to the mansion to invite you.

Zhang Youqian said, we dare not come to the invitation sent by Father-in-law Feng, isn't it almost full.

Feng Bao looked at the dishes on the table, and said angrily, Little Lizi.

Xiao Lizi's face was pale, and the minion was there.

Feng Bao shouted, today is Godfather's birthday, all the guests are the same, you just make such a show? What kind of dish is this, is it eaten by people?

Xiao Lizi didn't dare to speak, so he had to kowtow.

Feng Bao said again: You minions, you are becoming more and more disagreeable, relying on the power of your godfather, you are fighting for the tiger everywhere, even the godfather's birthday banquet, you are all tired of these things, and the face of the godfather is all defeated by you people. Come!

Three eunuchs came in, in.

Feng Bao looked at the little plum who was kneeling on the ground lightly, and said lightly, drag it out, kill it, and feed the dog.

Xiao Lizi was about to cry, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he was removed from his jawbone, whined out, heard a few sticks falling, and died of anger.

This Feng Bao, every word and deed, killed a person between talking and laughing without changing his face, and everyone gasped when they saw it. Feng Bao instructed everyone to re-serve the food according to the standards of the main hall, and the meals were ready.

Feng Bao picked up his glass and said: Tonight is Godfather's birthday, such an unpleasant thing happened, I, Feng Bao, came to compensate you on behalf of my godfather. You are the backbone of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, and the tasks in the palace this year are all dependent on doing your help, do you have any questions?

This Feng Baogang killed one person with a cane, Yu Wei is still there, where do everyone dare to make a noise?

Feng Bao nodded, very good, then please everyone.

Anyway, Feng Bao said to Min Qiuye and me, three adults, please go to the middle hall to talk!

Zhang Youqian said with a strange yin and yang aura, our gift money is not enough for five hundred taels, I'm afraid we are not qualified to enter that door.

Feng Bao said with a smile, the three adults laughed, Gonggong Feng is still waiting for you.

When I came to the middle hall, I was invited to the front row of the upper class.

On the next table, Feng Linggan was the birthday star, in the center, and the rest of the people sat in an arch.

Among them, there are important famous gentry in the south of the Yangtze River such as the Wang family and the Xie family, as well as the officials of the yamen hall in Jinling City, the prefects and governors of the silk-producing mansions such as Jinling, Songjiang and Jiangning. When everyone saw Min Qiuye, some acquaintances gave up their hands slightly.

As for the level of Zhao Zhenji, the governor of Yingtian, they are the officials of the Zhengsanpin Territory, and they will not attend this kind of birthday banquet at all. Song Haiquan, the prefect of Jinling, and Feng Linggan were both from the fourth grade, but they did not appear in the banquet.

And the various sects in Jinling City, the forces on the rivers and lakes, compared with these dignitaries, are obviously a level lower, except for the people of Wang Xie's family, they are all arranged in the West Hall. It is said that there is also a separate stage there, and artists are invited to perform.

In the middle of the nave is the stage. The lights are bright, hundreds of oil lamps are lit on the roof and beams, and the middle hall is as bright as day, and Li Xiangqin, one of the four Yans of Qinhuai, is singing the Kunqu opera "Dream in the Garden".

Feng Linggan knocked on the table with his hand, intoxicated.

This is a track in Tang Gong's "Peony Pavilion", Zhang Youqian and I are both northerners, you don't know anything about Suzhou dialect, I listened to it for a while, I saw a woman in a green shirt and a matchmaker talking, I don't know what to say, I can't help but feel bored.

There was a fragrant wind, but I saw Liu Jingrong floating beside me, Su was still there!

I smiled awkwardly, it turned out to be Miss Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time.

Zhang Youqian said that today I have the opportunity to listen to Miss Liu's fairy song again.

Liu Jingrong said you go away, I have an account to settle with him.

Zhang Youqian moved two seats to the side, Liu Jingrong sat down and said, you are so vicious, you threw a yellow flower girl into the river in the middle of the night, making the whole city look at me and laugh, how do you say to compensate me?

I said that if you are a yellow flower girl, it is estimated that the women in Jinling City are all soybean sprouts.

Liu Jingrong's face sank, what do you mean by this?

I said it didn't mean anything, Miss Liu, I threw you into the river that day, this is my no, but I don't have the apology you want here. If you seek revenge from me, Su will accompany you at any time.

Liu Jingrong showed a strange look in her eyes, said a few good words in a row, snorted coldly, and walked to the backstage. At this time, a "Garden Nightmare" just ended. Feng Linggan opened his eyes, clapped his hands and said, sing well, there is a reward!

Even a little eunuch sent a plate of silver, and Li Xiangqin thanked her a thousand times, so she fluttered down.

Feng Linggan looked at the crowd, did he listen to it with all his heart's content?

Everyone said, have fun!

Feng Linggan said, you are happy, but our family is not happy.

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent.

Feng Linggan continued, our Jiangnan Weaving Bureau was supposed to share the emperor's worries and solve problems for the imperial court, but this year, the inner court gave a task to hand over 300,000 taels of silver and 100,000 Su Jin, which made it difficult for our family to sleep day and night. Now hurry up, 100,000 Su Jin have been gathered, but these 300,000 taels of silver, I'm afraid it will be difficult to pay to the inner court. Feng Ling felt incompetent, so he had to come to ask for help.

The crowd began to talk in private.

This is nominally to share the worries of the inner court, but this is clearly a naked ~ naked bribe.

The Jiangnan Weaving Bureau dominates the Jiangnan silk industry, and in monopoly industries such as salt, iron and tea, the Weaving Bureau can also collect a part of the tax, plus the imperial merchant shop in the inner court, there is no more profitable business in the world.

Min Qiuye snorted in a low voice, I heard that in order to make up the 300,000 taels of silver, the land of the entire Jinling City was three feet thinner.

Someone took the lead and said, Gonggong Feng has done his best for the court and is loyal to the emperor, and now that Gonggong is in trouble, we can't see death without help, right?

Someone asked rhetorically, why don't you save when you see death, do you mean that Gonggong Feng wants to die?

The previous person even said, I didn't mean that, I mean, thanks to the care of Father-in-law Feng over the years, we can make a fortune here, and now that my father-in-law is in trouble, I am willing to donate 30,000 taels!

Some people took the lead, and others also followed in groups, you 20,000, I 5,000, and 100 people present, it didn't take long to get together nearly 400,000 taels.

Among these people, many of them are people who claimed that they were poor and couldn't take out a penny in the grain dispatch meeting of Min Qiuye not long ago.

Feng Linggan was very satisfied on stage, and said that I received everyone's wishes, and I couldn't repay so much money, so I had to come and present a song to everyone.

The crowd applauded.

Feng Ling asked: What are you singing? Fighting wits or fighting tigers up the mountain?

Zhang Youqian said, cut plums!

I shouted: Keep the roots!

When the gongs and drums sounded, Feng Linggan sang: Don't mention the past, life has been stormy......

At the end of the song, Feng Ling burst into tears.

The crowd shouted along, "Well sung!"

Everyone is here to shoot Feng Linggan's sycophancy, at this moment, Feng Qiqi personally sang on stage, where did everyone dare to be stingy, and they took out silver tickets and monthly tickets and threw them on the stage.

This kind of support is called sa taizi, and generally the more famous the actor, the more money he receives. Feng Linggan looked around with great satisfaction and asked, have you all voted for it?

Feng Baodao, back to the master, almost all of them were scattered.

Didn't miss anything?

Feng Bao replied, well, there are still some things that have not been sprinkled.

Feng Linggan frowned and said, our family will play in person, what else will not vote?

Zhang Youqian shouted, those who don't vote for monthly tickets are all eunuchs!
