Ji Shangshu said in his heart, it is better for me and you to choose here blindly by the Seventh Prince himself! The house is not for you and me to live in!

After a few official words, Ji Dezheng took the drawings of those houses and went to the household department in person. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The meaning of the household department is simpler, originally planned to allocate 10,000 taels of silver for repairs, but now depending on the emperor's meaning, then allocate 20,000 taels of silver, which is already the most allocated for repairing the mansion among the princes.

Ji Shangshu said: "Let's calculate how to repair this house first, and then set the silver." As he spoke, he took the picture book of the house in his hand and counted the money with the household.

After calculating, a ritual department book is even more calculating than a household department book, and directly calculated the repair cost of 48,000 taels.

Hubu Shangshu looked at the fee, wiped his sweat with a square handkerchief, and said with a sad face: "Lord Ji, we are so unruly, this is not calculated like this, our algorithm is really too different from the budget, if the emperor blames it, it will ......."

Ji Shangshu said: "Then trouble Lord Zheng to write down the repair money one by one, let's take it to the emperor and show it to the emperor again, if the emperor thinks that the difference is too much, let's reduce it, no matter how big or small, how can we do this errand well!"

As soon as such pertinent words came out, Zheng Shangshu no longer shirked it, and immediately wrote out all the repair costs with pen and ink, and Ji Shangshu was on the side to "point out the country and twitter", and got Zheng Yifei's strange sentence: "Lord Ji, the canonization ceremony of the Seven Princes, you seem to be working extra hard." ”

That's my aunt! The emperor said it himself!

Ji Dezheng said solemnly: "This official takes the court's money and gets the emperor's appreciation, we should all strive to do our best in this matter, and don't let the emperor worry, this is our duty as a courtier!"

Such righteous words made Zheng Shangshu awe-inspired, so he worked harder to write about the repair costs.

In the afternoon, Zheng Shangshu of the household department entered the imperial study, and showed the emperor a long bill of expenses, and the emperor looked at the repair cost, blinked, oh ho! You don't have to spend so much money to marry a princess!

Thinking of what happened to the Seven Princes in Zixia Mountain, and thinking of the mess in the Six Families that season, the emperor handed the bill back to Zheng Yifei and said lightly: "Change the list again, and change it to 88,000 taels." ”

Zheng Yifei was suddenly stunned by the emperor's words, his eyes widened, and his head turned several times without turning this corner!

What does the emperor mean by this?

When he presented the list, he felt that the more than 40,000 taels of silver was bound to make Emperor Long Yan angry, and he was ready to be scolded, why did he become 88,000 taels now?!

Zheng Yifei was not shocked, and heard the emperor say: "Allocate 10,000 taels from the treasury to Seventh Brother, and the rest, you go to King Jing to ask for it, just say that he has made such a matchmaker, he should bear some for his younger brother, this is a holy decree!"

Although Zheng Shangshu didn't understand what it meant to "the second prince made such a matchmaker", this was not something he could ask, so he answered immediately, ran out of the imperial study, and then went to find King Jing and gave him a list.

The second prince took the repair bill that was modified by the household department to be longer and longer, and it was going to grow out of the sky, and his blood and qi were surging, as if he had drunk ten catties of Ejiao blood cake, and the two veins of Ren Du were all open, and the top of his head was smoking!

What is this...... Thing!

"Being a matchmaker is tiring and tiring, and you even have to stick the thorn in the eye of Yu Heng for nearly 80,000 taels of silver!" Yu Lin angrily slapped the list on the desk, her face was purple, "Mr. Hong, the matchmaker you said at the beginning, not to mention it, but also to spend silver! Thinking about it now, if I hadn't given Yu Heng a green hat and didn't use a knife to cut him all over the street, wouldn't I have lost to death!"

Hong Weng looked at the list and groaned: "Second master, depending on the emperor's meaning, he knows your purpose for being this matchmaker." ”

"My dad knows? he knows what my purpose is? he knows that I want Yu Heng to wear a green hat and be laughed at every day?" The second prince's tone was not good, "If my father knew about this, he wouldn't have directly let people drag me out of the noon gate and cut me down!"

"No," Hong Weng explained, "The emperor knows that the second master has made a matchmaker for the seventh master so that the seventh master will not have the help of his wife in the future, so the emperor will ask you to make up for the seventh master, so that he can have a better life in the future." ”

"Let him feel better? If he gets better, I won't be happy!" The second prince was angry, he couldn't swallow this breath, the white smoke on his head rose up, and his face boiled, "A few days ago, I just sent 200,000 taels to the crown prince, and now I want to send 80,000 taels to Yuheng!

Hong Weng only said: "Second master, the emperor said, this is a holy decree!"

Suddenly, a few big words appeared in Yulin's trance--he, father, in, pit, him!

These words are like geese lining up to fly south for the winter, in his mind from top to bottom, and from bottom to up, repeating back and forth, and finally there are only two words left in his muddy mind: pit dad!

The second prince looked at the holy decree he had worked so hard to obtain, and then looked at the bill sent by the household, and silently recited several times, "I can't bear the child to trap the wolf, and I can't let the silver destroy the king!"

The Seven Princes got out of class and returned to the palace that day.

Xi Shan checked in the palace for two days, stood in the study and said: "Seventh master, the emperor assigned the cabinet Su Jixi yesterday to come up with the spring exam questions this time, and the chief examiner is Li Yi of the Hanlin Academy. ”

Li Yi. Yu Heng silently recited the name.

In the previous life, this person seemed to have gone to Huainan to be a governor after the spring examination, and he had not returned to Beijing until the death of Yuheng's weak crown.

Could it be that this person knew that the prince leaked the spring test questions, deliberately avoided it, and withdrew?

Ning Shi checked for two days, and also made most of the people who rushed to Beijing clear about the exam, and handed over the paper in his hand: "Seventh Master, this is the list of this scientific examination, people who are not in the capital, and those who are quite wealthy in their families have all circled it." ”

Yu Heng took the list and saw the only one with a red pen circled on it: "Gentleman Nian?"

"Yes," Ning Shi said, "This gentleman is also a Jiangnan person, and his family is in business. It is the second son of the third house of the Jun family, the richest man in Jiangnan, seventeen years old, the ninth in the family, and now he is also settled in a house in Daxi Hutong. ”

Yu Heng asked, "How is this person's character and literary style?"

"The little one went to investigate today, this gentleman is studying in the study, the little one learned from the mouth of the people in his house that the Jun family has high expectations for him, and when he knew that he could read, he was very strict with him, and the gentleman rarely went out after coming to the capital, even if he went out, it was just a trip to relax. "Ning Shi 1510 pleading.
