The bell was silent, and the men and women were assigned their working positions.

Deadwood Yan walked up to the bell and complained dissatisfiedly: "There is no place for my yard, please move them to another yard!" ”

"The side concubine thinks that the princess is deliberately targeting you and putting everyone here with you? The courtyards of several other side concubines have also been placed, please stop complaining. ”

The male worker turned around and bowed respectfully to Dead Muyan: "The villain prince is happy to see the side concubine." ”

Dead Muyan rolled her eyes, and was about to say who wanted your salute, but she saw a white-faced whisper who raised her head, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, thin and tall, as if she had never done any work.

In addition to the smiling face and the eunuch-like little servant in the palace, he is a meticulous guard with a straight face, and this is the first time he has seen a strange man, Dead Muyan subconsciously blushed, and said, "What's your name?" ”

"The villain Prince Yue."

"How could you, a man, do this?" Thinking of the work he was about to do, Deadwood Swallow's face was full of disdain.

"The villain is ready to go to Beijing to catch the exam, but he has no choice but to pay for the exam, and he has no choice but to be entangled enough, so he can only do these jobs first."

No wonder he looks pink, it turned out to be a genuine scholar, as the saying goes, a husband can bend and stretch, Dead Muyan appreciates such a person very much, and his face is not so bad: "Okay, then you can work hard here." ”

On the other hand, Ye Zitong is busy with the work of a female official, and on the other hand, she has to deal with Chu Litian's harassment, since he faked his death and she admitted that she likes him, this guy has intensified, relying on her Yunju every day and refusing to leave, especially when she counted her own small treasury, Chu Litian was counting the numbers on the side, and she was so upset that she couldn't count it.

"Are you unwilling to see my little vault growing day by day, that's why you harass me like this?" Finally, when she counted three and a half million taels of silver, under Chu Litian's interruption again, she couldn't count it anymore.

"What are you worth a few million taels of silver? If you want, the whole palace is yours. ”

Ye Zitong raised his eyebrows disdainfully: "Then what if I gamble all the money?" ”

"When did you get into gambling again?" Chu Litian was displeased, "Zhang He, this kid, sooner or later I will kill him." ”

"I've taught him a lesson, after knowing that I'm being held in the southwest and he's egging you not to save me." Thinking of this, Ye Zitong gritted his teeth, "Fortunately, I can escape this catastrophe without your help." I've already made that guy pay, and that's half a million taels of silver that he won back from his gambling house. ”

"Isn't he so angry that he's smoking?"

"He brought it on himself." Ye Zitong simply closed the account book and glared at Chu Litian, "Why do you run to me every day?" Didn't the emperor give you something to do? ”

"There's nothing to do for the time being, and I have good news for you."

"What's the good news?"

"In half a month, it will be a hot season, and my father will go to Yongle Palace with us to escape the heat, and I will take you with me."

"The emperor will definitely go with the queen, right?"

"Of course."

"Well, think about it, after all, the queen looks at me very unpleasantly, I don't want to be convicted of something while playing, the king is like a tiger, I knew it when the emperor asked me to copy the "Internal Training", so I was not happy to go out with him."

"Didn't I copy all the "Internal Training" for you? Where did you write a word? ”

Ye Zitong was blocked by him and had nothing to say, indeed, this hundred times of "Internal Training" was copied by Chu Litian for her, but who made her not wrong at all and was punished, Chu Litian didn't protect her, she deserved it! What's even more odious is that in order to imitate her notes, he wrote crookedly, so that she was ridiculed by the emperor when she handed over her wrists.

"That's it, I can't talk about you, I'm going to see the excerpts, you can go quickly." said that he couldn't Ye Zitong would drive people away.

Who knew that Chu Litian's buttocks seemed to be attached to a chair, but he didn't move.

"Is there something you want to say but can't say?" Ye Zitong couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you hiring male workers?" Chu Litian said this coldly.

Ye Zitong frowned, frowning slightly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

"If there are not enough workers, you can let the maids replace them first, and if you are so imprudent to recruit male workers...... ...... later"

Ye Zitong looked at the few male workers who were working outside, and suddenly understood the reason why Chu Litian was staying here these days, and she sighed in a strange tone: "It turns out that our eighth prince is worried that I will be hooked up by others, and you look down on me too much, right?" I don't want to do a noble eighth princess, what to hook up with a small guy, and do you think your beauty is not as good as his? Hum! ”

If it was before, Chu Litian would never have looked at the man more, but the man was in Ye Zitong's cloud residence, and he met Ye Zitong every day, although he was very confident in himself, it was the first time he tasted love, like a young child getting a big gift, and he didn't know how to place it.

"Joke, how can I be jealous? It's just that there are too many maids here, and I'm just afraid that there will be some inconvenience. ”

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Realizing Chu Litian's purpose of refusing to leave in Yunju these days, Ye Zitong pushed him out of Yunju, closed the door heavily, and complained inside the door, "Since you are so boring, you might as well go to the courtyards to see if there are any concubines bullying my female workers." ”

"Zitong, you ......" Chu Litian knocked on the door a few times, but heard Ye Zitong explain that those people were not allowed to open the door for him, so he gave up and prepared to go back to his ink house.

When I returned to the Ink House, I saw Zhang He sitting in the lobby with an unhappy face, with Erlang's legs crossed and an expression of coming over to ask for debts.

He walked in unhappily and pretended not to see Zhang He.

When Zhang He saw his expression, he knew that he had hit a wall with Ye Zitong, so he teased: "Ouch, who made our eighth prince unhappy, why is his face so bad?" ”

"What are you doing again? Zitong doesn't have time to see you. ”

"Ye Zitong illegally won 500,000 taels of silver from me, you have to pay it back to me."

"Illegal?" Chu Litian raised his eyebrows puzzled.

"She won a regular customer in my store, she doesn't know how to gamble, but she has a lot of money, and she just wants to have fun in the casino, because I play well, so he rarely loses money, Ye Zitong doesn't care about these, he won 500,000 at once, and the old people still think that they are a new generation of gambling gods, and she won like this, she lost all face, and almost hanged herself when she went back, I explained to him that Ye Zitong was cheating, so he saved a life, and lost 1 million taels to others, you have to pay me the 500,000 taels, otherwise I won't leave......"

Chu Litian smacked his tongue when he heard this, and then couldn't help laughing: "She doesn't have any gambling at all, she even has to win the old man's money, don't worry, I will pay you this money, but when did you become so poor that you even had to come to the door and ask for this money in person?" ”

"There's something very important for you." Zhang He closed the door of the lobby and said with a stern expression, "The day before yesterday, I went to the street to buy something, and I saw Chu Yatian's carriage stopping Zhang Mingyuan's carriage and inviting Zhang Mingyuan to his own carriage. ”

"And then?"

"I followed and found that Zhang Mingyuan had stayed there for a long time, and he should have left after lunch."

"So what?" Chu Litian raised an eyebrow at him.

"I suspect that Zhang Mingyuan and Chu Yatian are colluding, even if it is your father-in-law, you have to guard against him."

"I miscarried Zhang Ying before, and he bought me a copy from the emperor the day before yesterday, and almost cut my name and sent me to prison, and I almost killed him, but I thought that he still has usable value."

"How could you be so ruthless and abort your child?"

"If that child were mine, I wouldn't be."

Zhang He rolled his eyes, and it took a long time to react, and laughed: "It turns out that you were cuckolded, so why don't you stop her?" Is the punishment too light to just knock that child out? ”

"Thinking that her father still has use value, I will keep her for the time being."

"But now that he seems to be in collusion with Chu Yatian, what are you going to do?"

"Kill."

Zhang He shrugged his shoulders: "Why haven't you seen your little beauty recently?" ”

"She's gone south to train the army."

"Planning to rebel?"

Chu Litian shook his head: "I can bear it, I'm afraid that some people can't bear it, and let Chu Yatian bear the charge of rebellion." ”

"I think he really looks like he can't sit still, and he has already colluded with the generals."

"He is only better than a large number of people, and although my army is small, it is full of elite soldiers."

"Well, anyway, if you need money turnover or something, just come to me."

"Then you mean that you don't have to pay back 500,000 taels?"

"Die! Give it to me now! Now that you have been promoted to the title of prince, you are so rich that my money is kept for your turnover. ”

Three days later, the news of Zhang Mingyuan's death by the lake spread all over the capital, because the death was very terrifying, so it soon spread throughout the city, and the Four Princes' Mansion and the Eight Princes' Mansion were no exception.

When she heard the news, she was sitting under the tree, holding the small clothes she had made for the child in a daze, the maid ran in from outside in a panic, she asked suspiciously what was the matter, the little maid refused to say, and the other maid couldn't stand it, so she said: "Side concubine, Lord Zhang, he ...... He died. ”

Zhang Ying raised the corner of her eyes impatiently: "What are you talking about, my father is alive and well, do you want to die, and you actually say such things?" ”

"No, Concubine Fang, Lord Zhang really died by the lake, the whole city knows the news, the prince has rushed over, how dare the slaves and maids deceive you."
